WWE Survivor Series 2010 PPV Review thumbnail

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. There was nothing wrong with the event itself, but it was promoted poorly and WWE didn’t seem to treat it as [...]

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. The former WWF superstar may not have been the quintessential mixed martial artist, but he attracted a mainstream sports audience and gave the UFC more coverage in the media. Perhaps it’s [...]

WWE Hell in a Cell 2010 PPV Review thumbnail

By Jared Silberkleit - Hell in a Cell overachieved and ended up being a pretty enjoyable PPV from WWE, one of their better PPVs of 2010. Despite low expectations heading into the show, several matches were much better than people thought they would be and the show was very fun to sit through. The main event [...]

WWE SummerSlam 2010 PPV Review thumbnail

By Jared Silberkleit - SummerSlam 2010 was easily one of the worst SummerSlams in WWE history. Although the main event delivered and saved the show from being a complete debacle, the rest of the PPV was completely boring and unsatisfying, especially for one of WWE’s “Big Four” PPVs. Steer clear of this train wreck snore fest [...]

TNA Hardcore Justice 2010 PPV Review thumbnail

By Jared Silberkleit - TNA’s Hardcore Justice was a complete catastrophe in every sense of the word. This PPV did more to destroy the legacy of ECW than give it a proper sendoff. Every single match aside from the main event was not good and the entire show was a pathetic attempt at recapturing the old [...]
