Worker. That is the word that is used to describe someone in pro wrestling who can work and audience through speaking and/or wrestling. Sometimes, but rarely, you get a performer who can work an audience into wanting to watch a weekly television program, buy a pay per view, or buy tickets to an event("puttin asses in seats" is the colloquial term) by using both methods. The list of performers that can, or could, fo that is extremely short, but if you ask any fan of wrestling the list would include the names of guys like Ric Flair, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Dusty Rhodes, Curt Hennig, CM Punk, and very few others. Now, the reason for that short explanation is because of an interview Kevin Nash gave to Grantland . In the interview Nash said the wrestling boom of the Attitude era died when Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit won and celebrated their title wins with each other at the end of Wrestlemania XX due to the size, or lack thereof, of both performers physically and personality wise.

SuperFan Q&A: Josh Edwards
Each month I will be conducting a Q&A with a different Super-fan. It's kind of cool to hear from our fellow Wrestling enthusiasts. We all have stories about how wrestling came into our lives, and this way we get to share those memories, and our outlooks on the business we love.First out of the gate is Josh Edwards. Josh is a 24 year old fan from Lafayette, Indiana. He also runshttp://wweppvpicker.weebly.com/. On his site you can do predictions of upcoming Pay-Per-View events, and much more. So be sure to check that out, it's fun and it's free, You can't really beat that, now can you?
When did you become a fan?
I have been a fan of wrestling pretty much since I can remember. There were short times when I stopped watching, but I have been watching non stop since 2001.

Cocaine? Drugs? Guns? Booze? Women? Suicide Attempt? No, Its Two Old Guys Fighting Like Scorned Facebook Friends!
What started as a simple question answered by the Ultimate Warrior on Twitter has turned into feud between Warrior and Kevin Nash. Warrior, when asked why he doesn't dye his hair and make a comeback like Kevin Nash, said because he doesn't wan't to be a limelight stealing dickhead. Fair enough, Mr. Warrior. However, as expected, Kevin Nash took offense of such language being used in reference to himself and responded mildly, suggesting that he wasn't aware of a problem between Warrior an himself.
Then, probably due to someone telling Nash he responded like a yella belly coward(Nobody calls Nash a yella belly coward..NOBODY!", Nash turned up the heat a little bit, offering $200k MMA challenge. Still not happy, Nash then lashed out with saltier language, Warrior ignored Nash's challenge until he made this video.

Marking Out... From My Couch: 2011 Year End Awards
You'll have to excuse my absence, I meant to begin writing here when the site first opened, however several lengthy work weeks and Shadow of the Colossus got in my way. I'm samx1605 and I will be writing the column "Marking Out.... From My Couch." I figured the easiest way to show my thoughts on pro-wrestling at first was to do my end of the year awards. Sadly, we just got ROH in my town less than 2 months ago so this list is going to be pretty much all WWE or TNA, for that I apologize.
Let's get to this, shall we?

WWE TLC PPV Liveblog/chat
Time for one of the most brutal PPVs WWE has to offer. There should be at least 4 "He might actually be dead!" moments. Decent card, and there is a small chance John Cena won't show up at all tonight(If so, those personal issues are big) so the internet will sleep peacefully for the first time in a long while.
