On November 24, 1983, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper and Greg Valentine faced each other in arguably one of the most brutal and bloodiest matches in wrestling history. In a match type that’s origins preceded it, their dog collar match was the fourth recorded one in existence. It would be, however, the first dog collar match that would take place on a major televised event during Starrcade 83’.  Today, the match is known to more contemporary audiences as ‘Piper in Portland.’ The most amusing part of all of this is the match didn’t, in fact, happen in Portland. That said, Piper’s competed…

With over a decade of in-ring experience and another added for her training and development, Kaori Housako (Kairi Sane) began to flourish as part of Japan’s Stardom promotion. After graduating from Stardom’s Pro-Test, she assumed the ring name of Kairi Hojo. She was also affectionately known as the Pirate Princess. That name was based on her very competitive boating background, including Olympic participation.

On November 8th, 2008, Ring of Honor presented the event Bound By Hate. One of the matches involved three men that have now become household names. It featured Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson and Tyler Black (Seth Rollins) in a triple-threat match. Danielson and Omega were presented as the faces of the match, demonstrating the code of honor. While Black would also follow suit, he would act apprehensive. He was fine shaking Omega’s hand but refused to shake the America Dragon’s.

From the inception of The Great Kabuki, the Japanese character was shrouded in mystery. At times, a wrestler’s vision needs assistance to come to life. In other cases, the character’s success isn’t necessarily attributed to themselves but rather to those closest to them. Akihisa Mera may have portrayed the Great Kabuki, but it was the brainchild of legendary wrestling manager Gary Hart. While the character was said to be based on a character used by former wrestler Ray Urbano, Kabuki had layers to him that Gary Hart had shared were what made him quite unique. But to know about how…

Fear often consumes us. It is easily something that makes all that feel uncomfortable and uneasy. Hearts will race, and blood will pump with the fear of anxiety or supremely anxious tendencies overcoming them. Mick Foley has become an iconic character for his hardcore warfare and the matches he’s participated in. He is a proponent of equality and is easily one of his generation’s most respected and beloved wrestlers. However, at one point, a character that was much darker than fans had ever been aware of before emerged. The fans’ association with Foley had long been the Cactus Jack character.…

The evolutionists seem to know everything about the missing Link except the fact that it is missing. – Gilbert K. Chesterton For Dewey Robertson, his on-screen persona was unlike anything anyone had seen before. He was liked and respected by his peers. Robertson would commit years to his craft, often showcasing a stature that was not unlike a movie star with his looks. After years of showcasing a clean-cut appearance and being adored by fans, Robertson tapped into a part of his psyche that did not reflect what evolutionists like Charles Darwin would argue about years prior. The Missing Link…

From their blood-curdling features to their gruesome and rather grotesque nature. While some characters wrestling fans may be familiar with, there are several that they may not necessarily be. Today we feature Leatherface. If the name is familiar, it likely should be. Fans of the horror genre are familiar with the film Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A film that is loosely based on actual events. In this instance, we had art imitate life. The person that donned the mask and attire was none other than a rising talent in the World Wrestling Federation. Michael Kirshner wrestled for a time in the…

Much like any force or acceleration that takes place, an overwhelming Rush can come over the people that experience it. For William Arturo Muñoz, this veteran of the ring for more than a decade has carried tradition and legacy with him wherever he has competed.
