  • Mick Foley Michael Francis "Mick" Foley Sr.[ (Born June 7, 1965) Is an American Retired Professional Wrestler, Writer, Color Commentator, Actor and Voice Actor
    Mick Foley Michael Francis "Mick" Foley Sr.[ (born June 7, 1965) is an American retired professional wrestler, writer, color commentator, actor and voice actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he is the current on-screen general manager of Raw. Foley is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers in the company's history. He has worked for many wrestling promotions, including World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), World Championship Wrestling(WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) as well as numerous promotions in Japan. Foley has wrestled under his real name and various personas, including Dude Love, Cactus Jack, and Mankind, also known as the Three Faces of Foley. Foley is a four-time world champion (three WWF Championships and one TNA World Heavyweight Championship), an 11-time world tag team champion (eight WWF Tag Team Championships, two ECW World Tag Team Championships, and one WCW World Tag Team Championship), a one-time TNA Legends Champion, and the inaugural WWF Hardcore Champion. Mick Foley formally trained at Dominic DeNucci's wrestling school in Freedom, Pennsylvania, driving several hours weekly from his college campus in Cortland, New York, and debuted in 1986. In addition to appearing on DeNucci's cards, Foley and several other students also took part in some squash matches as jobbers for WWF TV tapings of Prime Time Wrestling and Superstars of Wrestling, where Foley wrestled under the name, Jack Foley and Nick Foley. In one of these matches (the very first episode of Superstars), Foley and Les Thornton (another jobber) faced the British Bulldogs, during which the Dynamite Kid clotheslined Foley with such force that he was unable to eat solid food for several weeks.

  • Ebook Free Pure Dynamite: the Price You Pay for Wrestling Stardom
    Ebook Free Pure Dynamite: The Price You Pay For Wrestling Stardom Pure Dynamite is a blow by blow account of the career of Tom Billington, who wrestled solo as The Dynamite Kid, and with Davey Boy Smith as half of the British Bulldogs tag team. Twice world champion, Billington was featured in the pages of Playboy magazine and was an international celebrity. Although he should have been a millionaire when he retired in 1993, after 16 years of professional wrestling, he had little but memories are scar tissue to show for it. As one of the first bona fide superstars in the World Wrestling Federation, Billington's career parallels the development of the WWF, from the early days to the decade following the first Wrestlemaina event at Madison Square Gardens in 1985. He worked with every major promoter, and wrestled with some of the biggest names in the sport. His story is a candid expose of the highs and lows of a cultural phenomenon that is still growing today. Now confined to a wheelchair as a result of serious damage to his back and legs, his years of steroid use have also damages Billington's heart and personal life. Pure Dynamite is as much a cautionary tale as it is a glimpse into the world of a wrestling legend.

  • Claims Department Randy Savage
    Claims Department Randy Savage Image courtesy Cedric Bacon - http://batced.deviantart.com/ Macho Man Randy Savage. The name rings 1980s, doesn’t it? Macho was at it’s peak in the 1970s, the song Macho Man was a hit in 1978. The persona of Macho Man Randy Savage was as flamboyant as the song, with pastel purple tights, sequined robes and bedazzled sunglasses. When he spoke, his voice was gravely like a 99-year old smoker. HE was athletically build, though he bulked up towards the end of his career, Randy was lithe, some might even call him skinny, when he started, and by the end he was a behemoth. All the while, he was an athlete. He wasn’t the first flying heavyweight, that concept dated back to the 1950s, but he was one of the best, certainly for his era. When he was motivated, there was none better, but as time went by, he was less-and-less motivated. He had some classic matches: Lawler, Steamboat, Flair, Hogan, DDP and more. He was also a shockingly big figure with the world outside of wrestling. He was given the ball and while he never eclipsed Hogan, he was certainly a close second to him for much of his career as the biggest name in wrestling. Sadly, Randy Savage passed away after suffering a heart attack while driving in Florida. He made it to 58, an age much older than many of those who have already passed in his generation of wrestling superstar.He wasn’t too often on the list of those who ‘were next’, so it was a surprise.

  • Here When It’S Put Online Is More up to Date Than If We Were Like Other Mags That Unavoidably Have to Go to the Printers a Couple of Weeks Before Getting in the Shops
    Page 2 Welcome to the first ever edition of Piledriver Online. Some of you will already be familiar with this publication as it has previously been available at shows and on subscription but now it has a new home on the internet in full colour and I sincerely hope you all enjoy this debut edition. So what’s different about Piledriver Online? Well, using this format one main difference is that the information here when it’s put online is more up to date than if we were like other mags that unavoidably have to go to the printers a couple of weeks before getting in the shops. We also have more pages and give plenty of coverage to UK wrestling, have more news coverage, more interviews and a look back at the history of professional wrestling home and abroad. Oh and of course it’s free to read! We will soon be launching Piledriver Plus and that will give you more news, competitions and features that will not appear in the main magazine all for just ten pounds a year (current subscribers need not apply). More about that at www.pildedriver-online.co.uk soon, oh and don’t forget to join our forums and if you’re interested in advertising with us at incredibly cheap rates and in full colour just go to our website for more details. We’re just weeks away from Wrestlemania now and the card is gradually taking shape, in fact the two main title matches were confirmed even before ‘No Way Out’ took place on February 18th which isn’t always the case as that PPV usually has a match to determine who gets a title shot at Wrestlemania and it’s not that long ago since the WWE title even changed hands at that PPV when Eddie Guerrero beat Brock Lesnar.

  • Year Ago, Inspired by the Dr. Keith Presents Annuals of 2011 and 2012, We Published
    year ago, inspired by the Dr. Keith Presents Annuals of 2011 and 2012, we published the Ainaugural Cubed Circle Yearbook, attempting to encapsulate what was a pivotal year for professional wrestling in 2014. This year we hope to do the same, albeit for a year of a decidedly different sort. 2015 was dissimilar to 2014 in many respects. It didn't see moments as grandiose as the end of the Undertaker's Streak, Daniel Bryan's WrestleMania victory, or the Guerrero-Atlantis mask match. When evaluated from afar 2015 may even appear stagnant in comparison, as did many of the world's largest and most influential promotions during the year – WWE, NJPW, and CMLL in particular. But, upon closer inspection, the seemingly motionless landscape of 2015 wasn't only very much alive, but both morose and vibrant, disheartening and emboldening. The open wrestling fan of 2015 had more choice and freedom than perhaps ever before, with some ardent observers of the industry even abandoning Monday Night RAW for lack of faith in the lumbering weekly juggernaut. Some turned to Lucha Underground, a show that garnered considerable cult popularity. Others looked to alternative facets of the company such as NXT, which grew beyond what many considered its zenith at the end of 2014, harbouring one of the better years for American women's wrestling in decades. AAA showed promise and ambition on several fronts, but was subject to unfortunate, and at times tragic, circumstances. NJPW was as repetitive creatively as it had been under the Kidani administration, but produced one of the best nights of wrestling of the last several years in WrestleKingdom 9 – made more readily available to an American audience than ever before.
