The Keg Stand: Five Things I Dislike About the WWE Right Now


I haven't enjoyed watching the WWE lately. I'm not going to stop watching because I'm not going to make that mistake twice, but I want to enjoy what I'm watching. I would enjoy watching the WWE more if they fix and improve few things. Here are five thing I dislike about the WWE right now.

The Keg Stand: Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus Will Have an Interesting Match at Extreme Rules


The WWE Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View will be in Chicago on April 29. The Chicago crowd has a history of cheering the heel opponents of babyface champions. Some famous examples are WWE Champion John Cena vs. Triple H at WrestleMania 22, Women's Champion Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James at WrestleMania 22, and WWE Champion John Cena vs. CM Punk at Money in the Bank 2011. Other examples include Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho at Judgment Day 2009 and World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton vs. Christian at Money in the Bank 2011. After Extreme Rules, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan will be added to that list.

The Keg Stand: My Top 10 Favorite WWE DVDs


I own many WWE DVDs. I don't own as much as the fans who collect WWE DVDs but I think I have more than the average WWE fan. I'm not trying to collect them. The WWE makes good DVDs and unfortunately, they aren't shown on TV. If you want to see the new Stone Cold documentary, you have to pay to see it. Maybe the WWE Network will air some of the many WWE documentaries but until then, you have to either buy the DVD or rent it using Netflix or your cable's On-Demand service. I could rent WWE DVDs but usually I find the DVDs for so cheap that it's cheaper to buy the DVD. I got many of my DVDs at a heavily discounted price. I recently brought The Ladder Match DVD and the shipping and handling cost almost the same as what I paid for the DVD. I have so many WWE DVDs that I decided to create a list of my top 10 favorite WWE DVDs.

The Keg Stand: Zack Ryder is the Brian Scalabrine of the WWE


If you are a WWE fan, you have heard of the “Ryder Revolution”. One year ago, Zack Ryder was rarely on television and was a jobber in the WWE. Now the entire Internet Wrestling Community is talking about Zack Ryder. At WWE Live Events, fans chant his name, wear his broski wigs, and bring Zack Ryder signs. He has become very popular. The question is how popular is he? The fans love him but do they want him to be the WWE Champion? When I think of Zack Ryder, I don’t think of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin or The Rock. I don’t even think of a wrestler. I think of Brian Scalabrine.

The Keg Stand: Top 5 Biggest WWE Surprises in 2011


[Editor's Note: No Random Wrestling Match Review this weekend. Sorry...too busy.]

In my opinion, the WWE is very predictable sometimes. I can look at a Pay-Per-View card and usually successfully pick most of the winners. However, there are times when something happens in the WWE that I never expected to happened. In this Keg Stand, I will look at the top 5 things that happened in the WWE in 2011 that I was almost 100% sure would not happen when the year started.

The Keg Stand: Can Kevin Nash and Triple H have a good match at TLC


Welcome to another edition of The Keg Stand. I am posting this Keg Stand a few days early because I had an opportunity to get it finished today and this will give me more time to work on my other columns this weekend. I was surprised to find out that this is my 10th Keg Stand. I'm glad that the WWE continues to give me something worth discussing each week. This week, I decided to use my original format which was discussing five current topics in the WWE. One of those topics is the upcoming match between Triple H and Kevin Nash.

The Keg Stand: My thoughts on the December 5 episode of RAW



Wow...WWE Monday Night RAW was interesting this week but not in a good way. It wasn't a bad RAW but I didn't like it either. RAW mainly focused on one man and that man is...

The Keg Stand: Five Things I Want to See on RAW Every Week


In my opinion, WWE Monday Night RAW (I don't care that it's called "RAW Supershow" now) has not been very enjoyable lately. I rarely watch the entire show without turning the channel and a lot of the main events are not worth watching live. I was thinking about what I want to see on RAW and I thought of five things that RAW needs to try to do every week.

The Keg Stand: The Recipe for a Classic WWE Match

[Writer's Note: This is my Keg Stand for this week. There will be no Keg Stand this weekend.]


Last Monday on RAW, CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler had an amazing match. I would have gave it four stars if I was reviewing RAW. It was a really good match but that match had no chance of being a 5-star classic match and I will explain why.

The Keg Stand: CM Punk is Now Officially My Favorite WWE Superstar


For most of 2011, CM Punk has been my favorite WWE Superstar. I have always been a CM Punk fan because he's from Chicago like me. Punk was very entertaining in the beginning of this year and his epic feud with John Cena leading up to Money in the Bank definitely made CM Punk my undisputed favorite WWE Superstar. However, just saying that CM Punk is my favorite Superstar is not enough. I don't own anything with CM Punk's name on it. When you have a favorite sports player, the best way to make it official is by getting his jersey. So to make it official that CM Punk is my favorite WWE Superstar, I purchased something today on WWEShop.com that I have not owned since the Attitude Era. I purchased a WWE T-Shirt.

The Keg Stand: My Current Thoughts on RAW


I didn't feel like doing a "Keg Stand" this week but I also didn't want to skip a week so here's my "Keg Stand". Everyone has been asking me about how I currently feel about WWE Monday Night RAW. Okay that was a lie...no one has been asking me that but I am going to tell you my thoughts whether you want to read them or not.

The Keg Stand (November 5, 2011)


This weekend is going to be very busy for me. I want to give my opinion about this week's Smackdown and I also want to write my Keg Stand column. The problem is that I had a hard time thinking of five topics and I didn't watch half of Smackdown. So for this week, I will discuss two WWE topics and review three matches from Smackdown. I'm not gonna say "Never before...never again" but I don't plan on having The Keg Stand and my Smackdown Review be tag-team partners every week.

The Keg Stand: Mick Foley Will Return to the WWE in 2011


Last week, the first ever "Keg Stand" covered five topics. I plan on doing that every week but not this week. I could not think of five good topics to discuss. The only topic I could think of was the WWE having RAW in Mexico for the first time. I wasn't sure what I would do for this week's "The Keg Stand". Then this afternoon during lunch, I was looking at WWE news on the internet and I saw something very interesting...

The Keg Stand (October 14, 2011)


Welcome to the first ever edition of "The Keg Stand". This column idea was given to me by JCITY over at The Infamous JCITY. He helped me write my fourth "What If" column and at the end of it, JCITY wrote, "I think a good column idea would be 'The Keg Stand' where you stand on your soapbox and rant and rave about whatever you want. In your case there will be no soapbox, just me holding you upside down as you chug away at the proverbial keg." He wrote that in June and now I have decided to attempt his column idea. In this column, I will rant and rave about current topics in the WWE. I'll pick five things that are happening or happened recently and I'll just give my thoughts about them.
