World Wrestling Entertainment
The WWE has been pushing Orlando Jordan who has been playing sidekick to JBL for several months. Jordan won the US title from John Cena with help from JBL and the Basham Brothers (Smackdown, 03.03.05).

The WWE has also been pushing this year's Wrestlemania, which the WWE wants to sell for $50. The biggest matches are Batista against Triple H for the World title, John Cena against JBL for the WWE championship, Randy Orton against The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels against Kurt Angle.

Two former WWF wrestlers returned to the WWE, even if it was for a single night (RAW, 03.14.05). Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Marty Jannetty. Roberts had a talk with Randy Orton that ended with Orton giving Roberts an RKO (a modification of the DDT, a move favored by Roberts in the 1980's). Jannetty teamed with Shawn Michaels as The Rockers to beat La Resistance that same night.

Former WWE women's champion Gail Kim has been in the news lately. This time her wrestling moves haven't made a name for Kim, but rather top-less pictures of her. Considering how much sex the WWE sells with the increasing number of silicone eye candy that the promotion has acquired in the past months, the WWE made a bad move letting her go.

As everyone knows the WWE took over the assets of ECW more than a year ago. The WWE wants to produce a PPV event under the ECW banner with wrestlers who were employed by ECW on 06.12.05. The problem is that Shane Douglas (now part of TNA) wants to do the same on two days later, 06.10.05.
 

Total Non-Stop Action
Cablevision and Time Warner Cable are fighting again. This meant that FSN was pulled of the air again. My only alternative is watching Xplosion, on channel 94, which has selected matches and runs a week late.

As it has been become a tradition, if you have a large promotion, you have a PPV event every month for about $30. On the Destination X PPV on 03.13.05, Jeff Jarrett beat DDP with help from Monty Brown retaining the NWA world title once again.
 

Ultimate Pro Wrestling
St. Clair Entertainment Group has released the Ultimate Pro Wrestling Superstars, a four-hour DVD featuring ten matches, the biggest names in the UPW, tons of exclusive footage, a special appearance by Joannie Laurer (formerly known as Chyna in the WWE) and so much more. Includes exclusive views of Inside The University, partying with the superstars, entrance videos, and an inside look at the UPW’s sexy Vixens.
 

National Wrestling Federation
Although NWL no longer promotes matches (dormant since 1988), I have been watching their DVD releases and reading a book written by Shawn "Crusher" Crossen on the secrets of wrestling. NWL was the brainchild of Shawn Crossen who at the age of fourteen with a group of friends had professional wrestling matches and at the age of sixteen was airing The Kids Pro Wrestling Show show taped at the Anoka Armory, Minessota, MI.

Aside from the action and the drama, wrestling (as other forms of entertainment and sports) help keep children away from bad habits and undesirable people or situations.
