This Day in Wrestling History: 8/26/178/26/2017 Wrestling gives us both great memories and memories we try and forget, but with the amount of moments worth remembering that have happened we are bound to forget some. The same could be said about some talent that were very much underrated during their career or never at the top of a company during a run this unfortunately makes it easier for fans to forget certain talent. I would like to wish a very big Happy Birthday to all who are celebrating their special day today and especially to the one featured below.

Life Outside WWE: Juice Robinson8/20/2017 Now even though the WWE has had a developmental territory since the late 1990's they have always had a n issues with knowing how to use the territory properly and best find new talent. There was a golden period for the territory and that is when Randy Orton, Batista, and John Cena all arrived on the main roster at the same time. But other than that it has either been hit or miss which has really hurt the WWE and their ability to develop new stars.
Since the start of NXT we have seen a good number of talented superstars arrive on the main roster, but once again in most cases they have been hit or miss. This is why I have decided to look at some talent who left WWE for one reason or another and how their careers went once they left the company. The first name on the list of stars is the man formerly known as CJ Parker and now known as Juice Robinson with New Japan. Since his arrival in New Japan we have seen the quality of his matches improve and bring the questions up that makes us wonder about greener pastures or wondering if CJ needed to move. At the time that CJ left the WWE he had been with the company for four years which is a long time to be working in the developmental of a company. In my opinion the man now known as Juice has been really hitting his stride and maybe got the ability to start over in a new company and begin fresh. Also from what I am hearing CJ is in line for a push within the next year as he seems to be catching on in Japan.

Tough to Write about an Idol8/14/2017
It's always tough to write about someone that you idolize especially when some health problems begin to pop up. Recently, reports have been coming up that Ric Flair entered a hospital and at first it was reported to be "routine monitoring." At first I really just shook it off as nothing more than what was said in the reports as it seemed to be just something routine. But now I am very unsure how serious this is and I hope the best for Ric.
Through the years that I have been a fan of this great profession there have been few constants. most of the talent that I have grown up watching is no longer active in the ring. But they were still around showing up every now and again to make a cameo. I remember as a kid watching WCW Nitro and enjoying every time that Ric Flair would enter the ring not knowing at the time how gifted he was and still is. I am not trying to scare anyone by posting this as it is just that the reports are making me nervous I think we need to come together as a community and hope the best for "Naitch." Ric has been attached to wrestling since 1973 and has done more for this profession then just about anyone he's given a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to entertain us now we give a little back.
I just hope that Ric is doing alright and that this trip to the hospital was nothing to worry about. I have goosebumps right now as I type "Naitch" I hope all is well and that whatever is going on you show it why you are the "Limousine riding..... Jet flying..... Kiss stealing... whelling dealing..... Son of Gun...... WOOOOOO!!!!! Please your in my thoughts Ric I hope there is nothing to this and your back on your feet in no time.

Though one of these people is someone that most fans may not remember that is not just a part of the point, but also something that I enjoy doing. Especially with someone like D-Ray 3000 who is someone I have taken a liking to in Total Extreme Wrestling 2016.
