Going into Raw 1001, we all had our concerns on exactly how the content of the show was going to fill the 3 hour time slot on a weekly basis. I believe it's safe to say that most of us were quietly remaining hopeful that we would actually get some wrestling and not see an increase of hokey comedy bi »»
I'd like to start this off by admitting that I was incorrect last week when I stated that the Money in the Bank pre-show match was R-Boom (I'm too lazy to say both names but not too lazy to explain my laziness, this is why I'm running for president in 2024) against Primo and Epico. However, as point »»
Last week, I voiced my displeasure over the Money in the Bank match that was announced on Raw last week. Since then, "the other" Money in the Bank match started to take shape and I suppose it would be only fair for me to share my feelings on that match as well. Just from a general standpoint (sal »»
The past few days of WWE programming can best be described as a fuse being lit at the beginning of each show only to find that a tiny little firecracker is at the end. Small pop and curtains. No Way Out (anyone else find the irony that it was on Father's Day?) World Heavyweight Championship Ma »»
So we are roughly a month and a half away from Raw becoming a 3 hour show on a weekly basis and with a 3 hour episode coming up next week, lets have a little chat about this. I assumed this would be a good time to discuss this coming off an episode of a 2 hours Raw that felt like creative was scr »»
So after the festivities of the past couple days, I've come to several conclusions: I've got to hand it to WWE for cranking out some solid post-Wrestlemania pay per views (overlooking Cena vs Ace for the moment) when usually this time is a pocket of suck (I'm trying to make that phrase a thing and »»
The soundtrack for THE RAGER this week comes to you from the mind of Brendon Small (creator of Metalacalypse). I'm Chris and I'm coming from an undisclosed location (that suspiciously looks like my parents' house in Fayetteville). Follow me on the twitters @cwsanders39. Guess what? THIS IS THE »»
Soundtrack for this week's THE RAGER is German rapper Peter Fox. Pacing is truly an underrated quality in almost all things and WWE programming certainly is not exempt from this. Depending on what the desired effect at the end of the night determines the pacing of the show. With Pay Per Views, it »»
The soundtrack of this week's episode is Enter the Haggis I'm Chris, this is THE RAGER, this is my twitter account. I'm the most followed wrestling columnist in the world (an anticipatory statement, don't make me a liar and follow me...or don't, whatever). WRESTLEMANIA!!!!!!! Match 1: Dani »»

The soundtrack for this episode of THE RAGER is BTBAM My name is Chris, this is my Twitter, this is THE RAGER! Last week, I delved into the ragier side of THE RAGER and was received well by most of the comments. Apparently quite a bit of rage had been missing as of late. Not everyone met thi »»

Welcome to THE RAGER, where I reach into my brain, extract my wrestling thoughts and spill them out for each and every one of you. I'm pretty sure it would be easier to just simply type my thoughts but what can I say? I'm a method writer (take that, Daniel Day Lewis). Don't be fooled by the title »»
So here we are, once again, trying to make sense of the world of professional wrestling...but ultimately failing and erupting with anger in the process (and you wonder why its called The Rager). So obviously, the big news of the week is that Chris Jericho returned to begin something (one can only »»
So what is there to talk about? CM Punk is WWE Champ, Daniel Bryan is Heavyweight Champ and Zack Ryder is holding a for realsies title. So what else is there for the internet to have to talk about? Well there's Cena and his status as a face and the possibility for him to switch to heel. You wa »»
ALL CAPS EDITION! Not really, that would hurt my eyes after a while and probably yours as well. So a little back-story: I am fortunate to have two jobs, however, both of which have a certain bit of downtime where one must find ways to occupy thyself to kill time. One of the ways I do this i »»
Welcome, my dearest and stickiest of friends, to The Rager. Lets just get down to what you've all come here for, aye? We begin with the highly anticipated Survivor Series and I have but a few thoughts on the matter: The Johnny Ace open just killed any sense of excitement before any had a chanc »»
Welcome, my dearest and sticky friends, to another edition of The Rager. As always, I am your indubitable and not-at-all overworked gondolier that goes by the name of Chris, Mr. Sanders if you’re nasty. This week, I’ve decided to take a break on just offering my divine insight on every »»
Salutations, one and all. My name is Chris and I am your indubitable gondolier whose sole purpose is to sift through the murky, sometimes stagnant and nonsensical pond that is the WWE and present to you a bucket of insight that makes a little bit more sense and attempts to distinguish the line betwi »»
So Raw 1000 has already come and gone and while there were many big and exciting things that happened, there was really one big moment that has everyone in the IWC in a stir. I speak, of course, of the return of Hand Young-Henry. This little guy had been living a secretive life after the world wi »»
So as another pay per view nears our horizon, it is time for me to take a look at the announced matches for Money in the Bank. Pre-Show Match: Kofi Kingston & R-Truth vs Primo & Epico Apparently they are gonna make us wait to see team Millions of Dollars get their tag championship spo »»
This past week on Raw, John Cena said that he was going to make a historic announcement and I hope I'm not spoiling anything for you DVR people but the announcement was that Cena was that he would be competing in his first ever Money in the Bank Ladder match. Now, I'm willing to overlook the terr »»
It happens quite rarely that I'm so jazzed after an episode of Raw to the point where I completely forget that there's a Pay Per View this Sunday. But you can't fault me for that when this 3-Hour raw gave me this and this but most importantly this, right? That's what I thought. YouTube Pre-Show: »»
Rage can do weird things to person, that much is obvious. So what about kayfabe rage? Since it's essentially "acting rage" wouldn't that do even weirder things to people or since its fake rage then wouldn't that mean it would be easier to control? I ask these things because I really have no idea, »»
My name is Chris, this is my Twitter and THIS IS THE RAGER! Last week, I joined forces with Joel Leonard last week on No Chance and we shared our experiences from our very first WWE live event.

Welcome to THE RAGER! I'm Chris! This is my twitter! I'm listening to Justin Timberlake! (That's a perfectly normal thing for a straight male to say, right? Good) THE RAGER was filmed in front of a live studio audience. So I'm going to start this column by talking about Divas because I'm a wres »»
Welcome to another edition of THE RAGER My name is Chris, follow me on twitter @cwsanders39 and be amazed! So I don't have too much to say about Raw other than Brock needs a handler for his mic skills (not naming any names or anything) and so I decided I would catch this super special live Sma »»
Hmmm I'm feeling especially funky this week so let's make this week's soundtrack reflect that. Van Hunt should do the trick. My Ragean senses are tingling and it could mean one of two things. Seeing as how no traces of one of those things were found last time I went to the doctor, I'll assume i »»
The soundtrack for this week's THE RAGER is Coheed and Cambria I'm Chris This is my twitter account, follow me and feel that completeness you've been yearning for. Lets rage. Last week, I discussed at length my feelings towards the absence of the Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania and ho »»

So this is it for 2011, huh? When you think back on the year, that's just about how you feeling...just meh. Sure, we've seen dictators and evil world leaders meet their end, hippies are still camped out of privately owned companies and complaining about the government (as well as other babble), e »»
I'm Chris. The is The Rager. 'Nuff said. I'm all about grabbing the audiences attention (as you can see by my awesomely clever opening) and, in short, the WWE couldn't have failed more at grabbing and maintaining the attention of the audience with The Slammy's. Sure the ending was unexpected and »»
Salutations to you and yours. This is The Rager, I'm Chris Sanders and I'm out of clever intros.

No real change for you all, just means I have to get into a new routine now »»
Welcome, one and all, to another edition of The Rager. I’m your indubitable gondolier, you can call me Chris, and on this day I delve into the mindsets of several characters in the WWE. I do this without the assistance of a somewhat professional as I had teased months ago but we could never w »»
Welcome, one and all, to another edition of The Rager. I am your raging gondolier, Chris, and I'm here to satisfy all your raging needs following a vengeful pay per view (see what I did there?).

So where do I even start? This past week has been such an epic, mind-scrambling overload of madness both on WWE programming as well as online among the forums, blogs, articles, speculations, grumblings, etc. Although I must say that here at Pulse Wrestling, our staff of Insiders excreted excellence »»
