look into the mind of a person who takes pro-wrestling a little more seriously than they should. So the question I ask is this; is there room in the current WWE structure for two mid-card titles? At first glance both, seemingly are meaningless in this day and age. Dean Ambrose just had the longest United States championship reign since the WWE reactivated the title (the third longest reign in the history of that title) and sadly defended it only 13 times, dropping the title this past Monday to Sheamus
When Kane made his WWE debut on October 5th, 1997, he cost his kayfabe half-brother, The Undertaker, the very first Hell in a Cell match, much to the shock of the dirt sheetless crowd. Glenn Jacobs, the man beneath Kane’s mask, had portrayed multiple characters in the World Wrestling Federation in the lead up to that fall pay-per-view - including Isaac Yankem, DDS and Fake Diesel - but he really hit on something special as the gigantic, temporarily mute pyromaniac.

Back in the 1990’s, the wrestling industry was called WWF which stands for world wrestling federation. During the attitude era, Stone Cold’s

Their leader, believed to be a former Top Wrestler, A Hall of Fame Candidate remained incognito. His cover was top secret and only these five knew his true identity. That he trusted them was a bond which gave them confidence that this could work! The die was cast and the plan was set in motion. The posters
Mixed Martial Arts is the most misunderstood, safest, and popular full contact sport in the present day. Since 1998, there have been over 70 boxing related deaths, while in sanctioned MMA events there have only been two! MMA has been around for centuries and it was not widely known until early 1990s with the introduction of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

The baseball world was as happy as could be, until the one fateful day in August of 1994.
