Honestly, it was like playing a WWE game where you could fight on top of the Hell in a Cell and not risk the cage ceiling breaking apart. Steel Cage Matches Are My Jam, Folks As you might have gathered by now: I’m something of a steel cage match connoisseur. I love a steel cage match and I tend to notice how well a cage appears to be put together.…

Sting had an odd journey in TNA Wrestling. For a lot of it, he was the stoic The Crow-face-painted babyface who delivers in the role of the soul of the company. In WCW, he was everything that was just about the company and had the perfect foe in Hollywood Hogan who was his exact opposite. Once he arrived at TNA, there was an attempt to do more of the same but the problem was that he wasn’t a part of TNA from the beginning. As “The Icon” he could pretty much do what he had been doing the whole time…

Running Forearm Smash For a period in WWE, this was Luger’s finishing move. Honestly, it depends on who take it but this move was never that impressive looking when he was blasting jobbers with it. The Flying Burrito this was not,…
We definitely have another bonus for this week’s “Moves of Doom Mondays” but let’s get into the focus of this one! He’s a superstar who became closely associated with old “5 Moves of Doom” trope during the late 2000s and early 2010s: John Cena! STFU The STFU is Cena’s submission finisher and looks most impressive when he locks it into monsters. When it’s a smaller opponent or one of similar size, it looks like he’s smothering them. It’s also a move that drew some snark for not being a proper STF and not appearing that effective since it wasn’t a…
