Corrigan’s Corner

It took one week for WWE to extinguish the excitement for Goldberg/Lesnar II. After hyping Brock Lesnar’s first televised appearance since SummerSlam, WWE officials sent the Beast Incarnate and his beloved advocate Paul Heyman to the ring to drum up heel heat. It shouldn’t have been hard after Goldberg’s...

I’ve argued more about Goldberg’s return than about any aspect of the presidential election. First off, I’m in favor of it, as every wrestling fan should be after watching Raw. The former World Heavyweight Champion, at one point rivaling Stone Cold as the hottest star in the industry, came...

Philadelphia’s premiere sports arena celebrated its 20th birthday on October 8 with cake, trophy photo ops and a chance for fans to shoot on the half court, half ice. There have been a lot of great memories over the past two decades, and almost as many name changes. Built...

Last week I looked back on the greatest second acts in wrestling history, reminiscing about the stars who, after at least a calendar year away from a company, returned to great fame and fortune. The list was inspired by Rhyno, the former ECW World Champion who now runs for...

The martial arts master toured the country throughout the 1960s and 70s, accumulating several titles before dominating the WWE tag team division with fellow foreign menaces Prof. Toru Tanaka and Mr. Saito. Then...

For 60 long seconds, I looked at it. “The Product” David Starr stood above me, his acclaimed groin mere inches from my face, flexing in front of 70 jeering fans packed inside the Knights of Columbus. His opponent, “The Bulldozer” Matt Tremont, slowly rose behind him. It may not...

“Violence so brutal, that the Devil himself will sit back, just to enjoy my work.” While your co-workers hype up the club and the beach, Jasin Karloff’s Friday night plans send a shiver down your spine. The tatted monster from Sleepy Hollow, New York, stalks the ring in a...
