We’ve got the RYSE Wrestling Head of Talent Relations, Marcus Mann, on the sofa this week!
Sorg was in Florida over the weekend, and had a chance to visit the Hulk Hogan shop down there.
Marcus Mann is sharing some updates about what they’re up to down at RYSE Wrestling. Want to check it out? Head over to www.indywrestling.us
We’ll be getting to some Fastlane and WrestleMania talk shortly. But first – John Cena has a Road to WrestleMania and Marcus couldn’t be happier.
John Cena broke RAW.
We’re breaking down an interesting comparison between John Cena, Hulk Hogan, and Chris Jericho.
It’s the wrestler’s responsibility to take that #1 spot. If someone isn’t taking that spot, then it really belongs to the guy at the top. (In this case John Cena.)
Vince McMahon will not give anyone a Jr. suffix because he feels it is demeaning.
Sorg apparently ran into Paige at an ICP show last week?
Fastlane happened this weekend, and we’ve got a clearer picture about what we’ll be seeing at WrestleMania.
We found out Marcus Mann is apparently a huge Brock Lesnar fan, in addition to being a John Cena fan…and a Chris Jericho fan…
We’re taking a trip down memory lane…to Summer Slam 2002.
You think Brock Lesnar could kill a person – watch him punch Braun Strowman in the face. He’s the closest thing we can get to a Bruiser Brody.
Are we setting ourselves up for disappointment by setting our expectations too high for WrestleMania?
Thanks to The Bar we can no longer take discussions regarding setting the bar seriously.
When ranking WrestleMania events, which one is the “average” by which you should set your expectations by?
