Yesterday I touched on Joe Louis' infamous pro wrestling career. So infamous I never even heard about it. So, I did some research and found a spectacular video which appears to be one of Louis' first after deciding to try his hand at the world of wrasslin'.
After watching last night's ...

As some of you might know, I used to write on a more consistent basis for another great website entitled No Mas. Some guy from there always bangs on the Jarry Park headquarters' door whenever a big boxing match is coming up.
Anyhow, last year around this time, I ran the ...

We finish off yesterday's list...
5. WCW Bash at the Beach 1998 - Dennis Rodman & Karl Malone: One of the few things WCW actually did right was their execution of the Rodman/Hogan vs. Malone/DDP angle. Both men had just met in the NBA Finals and when Bob Costas mentioned ...

Four days later and I'm still jacked up over the Mayweather-Show Wrestlemania angle. It partially has something to do with the thought of my combat sports worlds colliding but I think more about the lost art of surprises in wrestling. That said, I will never forget the night Money May ...

I feel bad for WWECW. Everyone loves to diss it and complain it's nothing like the original version. Of course it isn't. It's WWECW! You guys need to stop living in the past and embrace the present. So, in the interest of spear-heading the WWECW revolution I present the top ...

A thought or two on the 2/18 edition of Monday Night Raw...

I'm still not over the site of Floyd Mayweather in a WWE ring. Honestly, I had a hard time sleeping last night just thinking of it. I haven't been this excited for a celeb-wrestling angle since Pacman Jones joined TNA! Just kidding. No, I haven't been this amped since Mike ...

If you're a frequent visitor to The Park you know that we like to do things a little differently around here. You know, ask interesting questions, invite unique guests...that kind of thing.
