    About the Site

    Cliff Rushing, 22, McLean, VA

    I am absolutely, horribly, and utterly obsessed with, and addicted to, pro wrestling. This blog serves as a place for me to share some insights into the world of wrestling as I see it because, let's face it, I can't share them with a majority of the outside world. I will review the latest happenings in WWE, and TNA on some occasions.

    I will also be sharing a decent amount of personal stories and the benign minutia that is my life. I have few creative outlets, and this is really all I have.

    So, in short, I hope to share my love of wrestling and whatever else with anyone else who happen to be as hopeless as I am.

    You can contact me at vertizontal@gmail.com for questions, complaints, suggestions, etc.

    Currently Marking For:

    WWE Superstars: Chris Jericho, John Cena, CM Punk, Jack Swagger, Christian, The Miz, Edge, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Percy Watson, Cody Rhodes, Zack Ryder, Daniel Bryan

    I was about to ask, “Why 3?” but then I remembered, “Oh yeah, 3rd gen. Duh.” These are the conversations I have with myself on a daily basis.

    One DVD I Won’t Be Getting…

    he walks alone

    Available: 20th October 2009

    One of WWE’s most popular Superstars, Batista is truly a study in contrasts. On one hand, Batista is the smoothest of operators, known for his stylish appearance and laid-back attitude. He has the air and presence of a champion. Exploding with fury in the ring, however, Batista embodies his nickname The Animal. That power has served him well where he has won five world championships. For the first time ever, fans of The Animal can relive his storied career with this 3-DVD set that includes a biography of Batista’s life both inside the ring and out.

    New Merch

    JUST when I decide I don’t have it in my budget to get any more shirts, they release a new CM Punk one for the first time in nearly a year, and it’s AWESOME. FUCK.


    http://www.wweshop.com/Product_detail.asp?cat=cat-newreleases&productId=01-10810

    And, of course, DX reunion means new shirt. I don’t think it’s all that great, but to each their own.

Can’t decide if it’s too busy, or if I really want it. Probably a combo of the two.
