Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Soooo…this sure is interesting. I’ve held off writing anything about the WWE Network here even though I think it sounds like a pretty amazing thing if you’re a wrestling fan. The reason is simple.

I just got this press release. I must say, I’m somewhat surprised.

It’s been too long since I’ve previewed a wrestling PPV and tonight is TNA’s biggest show of the year, so let’s see if I can make me some good predictions. they can’t be any worse than my baseball playoff pics, I hope. Speaking of which, Cardinals and Red Sox? I’m having trouble caring less about …
