The absence of guys like John Cena and Randy Orton has some WWE fans calling for main events, featuring the stars of yesterday. But that’d be a huge mistake; a missed opportunity at building new stars in favor of recycled nostalgia.
Here’s a card that makes the most of the roster, highlights fresh faces, and invests in the future of the WWE.
Riding its surprisingly effective gimmick — every title on the line on the same night — the Night of Champions PPVs have always been somewhere between “watchable” (2013) and “awesome” (2008). With what might be called a ‘lackluster” ending, this year’s edition wasn’t exactly a barnburners on the level of years past, but it served a great deal of purpose to move any number of forward and gave us more than a few solid-to-fantastic matches along the way. So, we have that going for us, which is nice.
Tonight, WWE presents Night of Champions. It’s the only show of the year where you’re guaranteed to see every title on the line.
Let’s find out if it’s going to make Andy angry.
There are a lot of reasons why tonight’s Raw rating is going to take a hit. Some legitimate, some…not so much. Either way, you’ll find your reason. Andy takes a look at the top ten reasons you WON’T be watching Raw tonight. And no, they’re not ALL Rosa Mendes.

With the Great YouTube Purge of 2014 making most of the work we do with Wrestlers of the Week somewhere between “impossible” and “totally and completely impossible”, we’ve decided to officially (quasi) retire the feature. In its place will be something we are calling Is Wrestling _____?, where we will attempt to make a connection between professional wrestling and something from the world outside of Kayfabe. We will try to post at least one thing per day, though we obviously can’t promise anything because we’re not so secretly the worst. And to start everything off, we’ll look at where it all — meaning, all of literature as we currently understand it — with the Epic of Gilgamesh.
It’s the Final Day of #BatistaWeek, the 19th installment of our (patent-pending) Juice Make Sugar Wrestler of the Week series. As always, we’ll finish everything off with a Difference of Opinion, where JMS devolves into a Batista Bomb-fueled civil war.
This is the First Day of #ECWWeek, the fifteenth installment of our (patent-pending) Juice Make Sugar Wrestler of the Week Series. As (almost) always, we’ll start by making Extreme Championship Wrestling a Promotion You (Should) Probably Know Better.
