I’ve been watching wrestling since 1996, since that time I’ve seen some amazing things happen. Beginning with Booker T and Eddie Guerrero winning world titles and deserving superstars rise to the top. When I speak about the amazing happenings of the sport, then I also have to speak about the terrible ones.
The terrible being the number of wrestlers who have passed away and the circumstances surround their deaths. When I was younger, I wanted to be one of those wrestlers. I wanted to be a technical wizard like Chris Benoit, a “Perfect” wrestler like Curt Henning and a wrestler who “Lies, cheat and steal” like Eddie Guerrero. On the other hand, I question my dream of becoming a wrestler because of the aftermath of everything. The everything being the negative aspects of the sport. The negative forms of the sport ranges from the drugs, backstabbing, sacrificing, and the physical effects on your body. I’m not saying wrestling is the only sport where this is happening. It happens in basketball, soccer, and especially football. The difference between those sports and wrestling is the amount of passing involving wrestlers.

Sunset Flip presents……

Batman & The Joker, Harry Potter & Voldemort, Superman & Lex Luther. What do these individuals have in common? Batman, Harry, and Superman are heroes and the Joker, Voldemort, and Lex are villains. However, there is something else about these six personalities and that’s there all intertwined with one other. Batman wouldn’t be a great hero without the Joker and the same with Harry and Superman arch villains. I bring up this discussion because of wrestling’s own “Superman,” John Cena.

THE BRAWL FOR ALL
Another WWE Black Eye…Literally
Originally published May 23, 2003
Written by Emer Prevost

Anyone remember the Toughman competition? You know, that sport where redneck wannabe boxers step into a cheap ring in a seedy arena and beat the crap out of each other? You may have seen it on the FX Network, and it still sucked. Well, this 24 year old sport is the last thing you would expect the WWE to rip-off of, right? Well, if you thought that, you haven’t been watching the WWE for too long, or you have simply phased out the Brawl For All tournament.

Will there ever be a top African-American wrestler in WWE? You may ask, why just WWE. Reason being, I’ve been watching WWE/WWF programming since I was young. My sweat, tears, and passion is more with WWE/WWF wrestlers, programming, etc. However, with everything I mentioned, there is also sorrow. The sorrow and sadness comes from the terrible and sometimes disrespectful representation of African-American wrestlers over the years. With that being said, I won’t say there hasn’t been some strong African-American personalities. I began watching WWF programming when I was six and that when I was introduced to one of those strong personalities, “The Nation Of Domination”.
