Adam Kohn and I breakdown anything and everything that was SmackDown Live this past week.

Should Dolph Zigger be the #1 Contender?

Everyone has an opinion on Dolph Ziggler becoming the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Gerweck.net contributors Atlee Greene and Adam Kohn gives their opposing views on the subject.

What SmackDown Needs Tonight

The word is out. Last night, Raw was a hit. The show was great from top to bottom and now it’s SmackDown’s turn to woo the pro wrestling faithful. The blue brand is fighting an uphill battle not only because they have the weaker roster, but the length of their show is held to a strict two hours with no five to fifteen minute overrun.

What about the other goliaths of the squared circle who have graced the silver screen? While The Rock isn’t the first pro wrest…. sorry Mr. McMachon, I mean, sports entertainer to star in feature films, why did the former 8-time WWE champion succeed where his peers failed?
