Bash At The Beach 1996 Review
Bash at The Beach 1996 was one of WCW's most anticipated Pay-Per-View events didn't fail to live up to expectations on a night that seen quiet possibly the most shocking and surprising story-line unfold before our eyes. It was the third annual installment of the event and came to you live from Daytona Beach, Florida. The Outsiders invasion angle had created a lot of heat within the company but the duo of Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were expected to announce a third member had joined the group. The name of that third name wasn't to be unveiled until Bash At The Beach with many predicting Sting as the mystery man.The Montreal Screwjob

The most controversial moment in WWF history came when owner, Vince McMahon, re-arranged the outcome of the World Heavyweight Championship match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. Held in Montreal Canada, the outcome of the match was changed without the knowledge of champion Bret Hart who was departing the WWF for WCW the following night. Despite the story un-folding before our eyes, it was the fact it was a real life story which made the screwjob arguably the most infamous moment in WWF history.

Yokozuna 1966-2000
Apart of one of the greatest wrestling families of all time, Rodney Anoa'i became one of the greatest big-men in WWF history. In his four years in the company between 1992-1996 he became the heaviest heavy-weight champion but also gained a lot of fans from the crowds but more importantly friends within the locker-room with little to no one having a bad word to say about him. Sadly his weight would ultimately prove to be his downfall and he would be taken from us far too soon but there's no denying that Yokozuna could have stayed right-through the attitude era and become a major figure.Wednesday, 18 May 2016
Wrestlemania III Review
Most
people look back upon the event with fond memories of their childhood
as they watched their hero Hulk Hogan defeat the arch enemy, Andre
The Giant. Wrestlemania III became iconic and is widely regarded by
many as the greatest Wrestlemania event. It's difficult to deny as
the storylines, superstars and impressive matches all make a strong
argument. Legendary figures also featured in Michigan as the WWF set
an all-time indoor attendance record with 93,000 crammed inside the
Silverdome to watch third spectacle of McMahon's legendary,
Wrestlemania.Giant Gonzalez. 1966-2010
Most famous for his feud with The Undertaker but the fact is Giant Gonzalez is the tallest man to ever wrestle professionally. From his stint in WCW as 'El Giante' to his time in the WWF in 1993, most hardcore wrestling fans will claim he was one of the worst giants and wrestlers of all-time however I can only disagree with such claims as despite his awful costume he was one of the better big men in the industry who wasn't booked or pushed right.Hogan, Russo, Jarrett - WCW Bash At The Beach 2000
A look back at one of the most in-famous story-lines in WCW. Unlike many of the company's greatest stories, this one in-fact had a real life element. With Jeff Jarrett as champion and with Vince Russo (who was the latest of a long list controlling WCW), Hogan strongly disliked the idea of Russo's new-blood scheme he was implementing since he took sole control. The three would square up at the Bash At The Beach in July 2000 and would result in real-life events taking place much to the shock of the fans and wrestling critics worldwide.
