The Goodness 05.30.07: Wrestling Needs the Kids
(05.30.2007)
I fell for pro wrestling as a kid and I can't help myself as an adult. Will fans like me exist in 20 years? Are new lifelong fans actually being made? |

The Goodness 05.09.07: Seven Year Itch
(05.09.2007)
The spring of 2000 was the absolute apex of my wrestling fandom as the energy of the wrestling world consumed me. This spring? I have been overwhelmed by the force of indifference. |

The Goodness 04.18.07: Kill It or Fix It
(04.18.2007)
With all brands on every pay-per-view, the WWE has officially reached the crossroads. Either kill the brand extension or make it work. Sadly, they're probably going to do neither. |

The Goodness 04.04.07: WrestleMania 23's Showstopper
(04.04.2007)
It wasn't Money in the Bank. It wasn't Cena/Michaels. It was Batista vs. the Undertaker that stole WrestleMania and became the show's defining moment. |

The Goodness 03.28.07: Is Friday Night Killing SmackDown?
(03.28.2007)
The real main event at WrestleMania 23 is John Cena vs. Shawn Michaels. Why? Because more people watch Raw. Has the move to Friday night rendered SmackDown unable to compete? |

The Goodness 03.14.07: March Madness
(03.14.2007)

The Goodness 03.07.07: The Non-Alternative
(03.07.2007)
TNA is failing miserably at being an alternative to WWE. In fact, it's reached a point where I can't take it anymore. TNA is not very good right now. |

The Goodness 02.14.07: The Potential For Goodness
(02.14.2007)
As WrestleMania approaches, there is one feud that has Goodness written over it. Nope, not Batista/Undertaker, not Cena/Michaels, not even Trump/McMahon. It's the break-up of Rated RKO. |
|
The Goodness 02.07.07: A Star Is Born
(02.07.2007)

The Goodness 01.31.07: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

|
The Goodness 01.24.07: An Ode to Shawn Michaels
(01.24.2007)
As a Bret Hart fan growing up, Shawn Michaels wasn't exactly my favorite wrestler in the 1990's. Let's just say my opinion has drastically changed as HBK continues to amaze week in and week out and has since his return in 2002. |

The Goodness 11.28.06: Can He Still Draw?
(11.28.2006)

|
Forgotten Goodness 11.21.06: 1998 Survivor Series
(11.21.2006)
You can't look at this show like just another wrestling event. It was a three-hour movie with twists, turns and a shocking ending you couldn't believe. It was awesome. |
|
The Goodness 11.07.06: End the Split
(11.07.2006)
Three world champions went at it Sunday night. So that was must-see TV, right? Not quite...and it's becoming apparent that it's time to end this farce of a WWE brand split. |
