Wrestling With It All

This being the first blog for the "Ring Sniper", I've decided to sribe about some of my favorite performers of all-time.
There is little doubting that Hulk Hogan was one of the greatest performers ever is wrestling history, from a in-ring character point of view (the guy couldn't wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag though). In terms of bringing a crowd to its feet, putting people in the seats, there was no one who could compare the Hogan's popularity-until "Stone Cold" Steve Austin came along. Ah, "Stone Cold" took it to another level. He was blue collar; beer chuggin'; foul mouthed and would kick the crap out of the boss. Honestly, practically everyone could identify with the guy. After all, who wouldn't want to beat the holy hell out their boss?
Do you smell what The Rock is cookin'? Lots of people smelt what he was cookin'. The guy took "sports-entertainment" to a whole new level. Nobody, not Hogan or Austin, could talk on a mic like the Rock could. The Rock could ramble on about anything and make it entertaining. Hard to believe that when The Rock first started with the Fed, people booed the guy.
Andre The Giant. The 8th Wonder of The World. He was the very first international superstar in the wrestling world. The tales of Andre's eating and drinking are stuff of legend. In the ring, he was truly unbeatable. He only lost IF HE WANTED TO.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart. Simply the best. Forget Flair, Hart's the man. The best ever. He had it all: could actually wrestle, had great mic skills and could tell a hell of a story in the ring.
The goal, or "Mission Statement" if you will, of the site is to give insight, thoughts, reviews and predictions of upcoming pay-per-views, Raw and SmackDown shows etc. Since the Royal Rumble is fast approaching, the first review I'll be doing is on the very first Rumble that was shown on pay per view from 1989.
To paraphrase the amazing Gorilla Monsoon: stick the folk in this one, its done!
