The ECW (2/2) Extreme Examination

This Week’s Episode:The Future Foretold
The Katz Files
Rating the TNA Roster
The Kingfish Arnie Katz begins a new, month series that rates TNa wrestlers’ recent performances, analyzes strengths and weaknesses, and even charts future courses for major TNA stars.
Part 1
A story racing through the Internet claims that Hulk Hogan is frustrated, because TNA wants him to push “TNA Originals” whom he allegedly feels are unworthy. Whether or not this story is true, it did get me thinking about the performers on the TNA roster.
The result of all that cogitation – some people in Vegas thought a forest was burning, because of all that wood smoke — is this series of columns based on the current TNA Roster.

The Phantom of the Ring
Phantom – Jack Brisco, R.I.P.
The sudden death of Jack Brisco on February 1 left the wrestling world saddened. For many, he was the first NWA champion they grew up watching, and he was one of the last “pedigreed” champions (those with solid collegiate wrestling backgrounds) to hold a world’s championship..

NEW BOOK EXPLORES
CANADIAN PRO WRESTLING LEGACY
Is it sport or is it entertainment? To wrestler and newly published author Vance Nevada, you can call it whatever you want, as long as you recognize the significance of pro wrestling’s legacy on the Canadian sporting / entertainment landscape over the past century.
Vance Nevada, originally from Souris, Manitoba, got his start in pro wrestling in 1993 grappling in Winnipeg community centres. Early in his career, he developed an interest in the history of his industry and as his career has gone national, he has spent countless hours in libraries and archives, scanning old newspapers, talking to wrestling alumni, and assembling the pieces for one of the most complete references on the mat game ever assembled.
