Cross Examination

It’s been a rough few months for us wrestling sharps. There has only been one upset since WrestleMania: Seth Rollins defeating Roman Reigns at Money in the Bank. Everything else has been boring and vanilla. Luckily, Battleground doesn’t seem to have the same problem – there are just two big...

This is one of the most interesting PPVs to bet on in a while. The last few events have been rather predictable and were not ideal to bet on. This one has a few matches that could go either way. Of course, the most intriguing WWE show in the...

If done right, the Money in the Bank Ladder match can catapult a wrestler up the card. In 2014, it did just that. Seth Rollins won the match, worked his way up the card, and then solidified himself as a main eventer by cashing in. In 2015, Sheamus won,...

This is not a bet-friendly PPV. All of the matches have heavy favorites, making it hard to win too many jellybeans. I’m in good shape though, as I’m halfway to getting 5 bags of them from the Toast of Tacony. (By the way, there are no odds listed for...

I sincerely apologize for my WrestleMania 32 picks. I have spent the last month in Vegas training, and I have rebuilt my confidence. I am ready. You know the drill: I am betting imaginary jellybeans for each match (based on Paddy Power’s odds) and keeping track of my “winnings.”...

It’s finally here. We’re past the lackluster build and I am fully on the anticipation bus. John Corrigan is deep in the heart of Texas and will be at JerryWorld. I am flying out of Philly Sunday… to Atlanta for a business trip. But I will not let that...

Everyone agrees the Reality Era of WWE began when CM Punk sat down, criss-cross applesauce, on the stage in Las Vegas in 2011 and dropped his pipebomb. For many wrestling fans, it captivated them like few other storylines ever had. The indie darling, who many thought deserved a shot...

Any wrestling fan would agree Fastlane seems like a very predictable event. The bookies seem to agree. Every match has a pretty big favorite, and on the Road to WrestleMania, there’s always the chance for screwy finishes. The literal winner is not always the actual winner. Sadly, there won’t...
