Social Media’s Impact On WWE Characters
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
Just as important as the wrestling skills and the physical features of a WWE superstar, is the character that they must uphold while on WWE television. Since it is well-established that some aspects of professional wrestling are scripted, you’d think that the WWE wouldn’t mind being a little creative considering that their audience is usually …

How Naomi Can Be WWE’s Next Top Diva
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
There’s no question that WWE’s talent pool for women wrestlers is the strongest it’s been in years. With the likes of Bayley, Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch providing us with excellent programming on NXT, the potential is there for the main roster divas division to be just as exciting. However, there’s actually been one …

Daniel Bryan Retires From Wrestling
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
He’s been called many things during his career. The American Dragon, Mr Small Package… not joking about that last one. However, I never truly believed that I would call him retired at age 34. It’s a shame that this is the first time that I’m writing a post for SLTD about Daniel Bryan. It’s a …

Why The Fastlane 2016 Main Event Is A Bad Idea
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
On the RAW after the Royal Rumble, Stephanie McMahon announced the main event for Fastlane. This main event will determine who would challenge WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H at Wrestlemania 32, and will feature WWE’s three top stars battling it out. The “Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar will face former champion Roman Reigns and Intercontinental …

Royal Rumble 2016: Top 10 Royal Rumble Endings
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
There’s nothing quite like the Royal Rumble. This is a match that comes along once a year and delivers an atmosphere like no other. It’s the atmosphere that anyone can show up, anyone can win it and anything can happen. Recent Royal Rumbles haven’t really lived up to those last two points but there’s so much …

Why Reigns/Triple H Can’t Headline Wrestlemania 32
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
In some way, I feel kind of bad for WWE leading into this year’s Wrestlemania. Having John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and Randy Orton all out of action for the event really does leave the roster depleted in terms of star power. However, it’s also been a huge reality check for WWE. The reasons for …

Should Brock Lesnar Be Champion Again In 2016?
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
On RAW, Brock Lesnar returned to WWE with the Royal Rumble just a few weeks away. With his return and many top stars sidelined with injuries, is 2016 the year for the Beast Incarnate to reign as champion? Lesnar started 2015 as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, with this reign hindered by the lack of …

2016 Royal Rumble Match For WWE Title Announced
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
History will be made this month in WWE as the road to Wrestlemania has been drastically changed. Ever since 1993, the winner of the Royal Rumble match usually earned a world title shot in the main event at Wrestlemania. This year however, things are a little bit different. As declared by Vince McMahon last night …

How 2016 Can Be A Great Year For WWE
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
2015 was a year of ups and downs for WWE. While Wrestlemania 31 was a huge success and NXT has been home to tremendous programming all year long, there’s been a lot of flaws and set backs which has really hurt professional wrestling as a whole. Believe it or not, all of professional wrestling relies …

Is This Year’s Royal Rumble The Most Unpredictable Of All Time?
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
The Royal Rumble has always been one of my most highly-anticipated pay-per-views of the year. It’s the start of the Road to Wrestlemania where all of WWE’s Wrestlemania plans start to become clear. However, the last three Royal Rumble events have been disappointing considering how easy they were to predict. In 2012, it caught a …

What WWE Can Learn From Lucha Underground
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
Before I get started with this piece, I do want to mention that the piece down below was written a few days before the TLC and RAW events this week. I do believe coming off those two shows, the WWE may be about to turn the corner in righting a few of these wrongs mentioned …

The Problem With Wyatts vs ECW At TLC
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, SLTD Wrestling, WWE
The storylines leading up to TLC have not really been up to par in comparisons to the last few pay-per-views. The Sheamus vs. Roman Reigns main event has been very underwhelming and the booking of the program with Charlotte and Paige has been all over the place. With that being said though, TLC should actually …
