WWE Over the Limit 2011 PPV Review thumbnail

By Jared Silberkleit – Much like TNA Sacrifice last week, WWE Over the Limit 2011 was a mostly filler PPV that wasn’t worth the price at all. Most of the show featured very weak matches that seemed better suited for free television and the main event was one of the most ridiculous (and boring) matches [...]

By Jared Silberkleit - Survivor Series was originally planned to be terminated as a yearly PPV after the 2009 edition did unusually low numbers in PPV buys for one of the WWE’s “Big Four” PPVs.

Cain Velasquez Earned UFC Title, But Brock Lesnar is a Bigger Draw thumbnail

From a marketing standpoint, having Brock Lesnar drop the strap to Cain Velasquez was not the best case scenario for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
