Surprise! This week the recap goes back to the old format on account of Kelly's DVR giving her the middle finger. That's what you get for living in the middle of the Arizona desert, I suppose. Don't worry, the animal magnetism we so clearly display for one another will be back next week. Consi »»
I had the perfect idea for an article. Seriously, it was in my head this past Monday night and I was anxious to get it to the site as quickly as possible. And then the Smackdown tapings threw in a curveball. As my loyal peons are no doubt aware, I avoid SmackDown spoilers. I detest them be »»
Greetings, landlubbers. Your favorite, most consistent columnist on Inside Pulse is back with another round of awesomeness. By the way, in case you haven't checked it out yet (and honestly, how could you have avoided it?), feel free to enjoy the brand new roller coaster ride that is Mike and Kel »»
February 4, 2011. That was the day the most consistent columnist on Inside Pulse debuted with his signature column, The Stomping Ground. I know, I know; I'm being too modest, right? It's interesting to look back and see what a difference a year makes. The Stomping Ground debuted on a Frida »»
Greetings, my flatulent fanbase! It's time for another humdinger of a column known as The Stomping Ground! So...apparently there's some sort of big PPV on this Sunday, though I can't for the life of me remember what it is. In any case, I've decided to go off on a tangent this week and focus on »»
Greetings all to another fantastic installment of the Stomping Ground. I am your fanatically-devoted-to-Latin-women host, Mike Gojira (which is pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove") and you're stuck with me for the next 5 or 6 minutes. You know, depending on how long it takes you to read this tri »»
Apparently at a WWE house show this past Sunday night in Oakland, California, Epico and Primo dethroned Air Boom for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Could there be some truth to the rumors that Triple H isn't too fond of Evan Bourne following his reaction to his Wellness Policy violation? You can »»
Flash Funk. Goldust. Dusty Rhodes. Viscera. Ernest "The Cat" Miller. What do these five men have in common? Brodus Clay is the misbegotten love child of an orgy between them and one unlucky woman. That's the only explanation for whatever the hell THAT was on Raw this past Mo »»
Can you believe it, ladies and gentlemen? This is the 50th edition of The Stomping Ground! It's been nearly a year since I debuted as a guest on Glazer's Morning Backlash and it feels like forever ago. The Stomping Ground debuted last February (there were a couple of weeks where I pulled double d »»
As reported, Randy Orton was injured during his match with Wade Barrett on Smackdown. Here's the official update from WWE.com and WWE physician Dr. Michael Sampson: "Randy (Orton) suffered a herniated disc on the L4-L5 level on the left side, and that's resulting in pain and weakness down his le »»
At the time this article is published, it will be the morning of Christmas Eve. Whether you celebrate my favorite holiday or not, Happy Holidays to everyone here at the Pulse. Okay...the sappy shit is over and done with. Onto the rasslin'! Our program begins with the entrance of the new Wo »»
Soooooooo.....why haven't you chosen the top Wrestling Hiccup of 2011 in the latest edition of The Stomping Ground yet? I'll wait. We begin with Josh Mathews interviewing Booker T in the middle of the squared circle. Mathews asks Booker if he's ready for Sunday's PPV and he pretty much says t »»
Hi-diddly-ho, you unbelievable bastards! It's the first of three brand-new columns from yours truly this week, and I'll be recapping the annual Tribute to the Troops show from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We kick things off with a video package highlighting the men and women of the United State »»
Is it just me, or is this column being crushed by an overly large Smurfs advertisement? Welcome back, you insipid sapiens, to the latest installment of The Stomping Ground. As threatened, here's my Top 5 Favorite WWE Tag Teams. Missed numbers 6-10? Shame on you! Let's get right into the shit, »»
'Sup, homies and ho-bags? It's time for my second shift this week as I bring to you tonight's live edition of Smackdown! I expect a lot of Raw Rebounds and/or guest stars since these live Smackdowns tend to be of the Supershow variety, thereby diluting the usually decent card. Plus, we've got Mick »»
We're back once again with another edition of the Not-So-Live Smackdown Report! It's my birthday weekend, so I'll probably be a little more chipper than usual. The show kicks off with a video for the World Heavyweight Championship match between Big Show and Mark Henry from last Sunday. After th »»
It is now one o'clock in the morning as I type this, following an extraordinary weekend that began with an awesome night out for my birthday bash (Glazer knows what I'm talking about) and ended with seeing The Rock live at MSG for the first time in over 7 years. I am physically and mentally exhaust »»
Where have all the columns gooooone? (duh doo doo, duh doo doo, duh doo doo) Seriously: the site gets a make over and suddenly everyone scatters like roaches under the fridge when the lights come on? I mean we got Scott Keith every Monday night and the usual ROH and old school throwback goodness »»
Here's what Shad Gaspard had to say about me in a recent interview: "Mike is Mike…you know? Mike, you know what I mean, that’s just the short end of the answer. Mike Gojira is Mike Gojira. And he’s not going to stop being Mike Gojira today, he’s not going to stop being »»
It's time once again for the most consistent columnist on Pulse Wrestling, yours truly, Mike Gojira! I'll soon be pulling double duty here at the Pulse as I'll be in charge of the Smackdown Report beginning this Friday. I can promise you the report will not be live as (contrary to popular opinion) »»
Week three of our little experiment commences with a recap of Monday night's Big Show/Randy Orton match that apparently led to Orton's removal from the Elimination Chamber. Who will take his place? Let's find out! Kelly: Hello everybody! And welcome to your new favorite recap. I'm here with the w »»
Salutations, Pulsers! The most consistent columnist on Pulse Wrestling is back with the vivacious Pulse Queen herself, Kelly Floyd, as we tackle yet another installment of Friday Night Smackdown. Will there be more sexual jokes than last time? Probably. Opening Segment: Sheamus heads to the ring »»
Ring rats and gentlemarks, for the first time ever, two wrestling aficionados have joined forces FROM ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES to simultaneously watch Friday Night Smackdown over the magical apparatus known as the Internet! Opening Segment: Teddy Long is in the ring to discuss the upc »»
I'm not gonna lie to you guys. It's after 10 pm on a Friday night and I'm slightly inebriated from Happy Hour, so this should be an interesting take on the go-home show before the Royal Rumble. Anything's better than having Mark Henry and Big Show in the main event, right? I mean, that would »»
The show opens with a recap of Big Show's hit-and-run on my girl AJ. Daniel Bryan calls him a bastard, which brings up old memories of the Big Bossman and Wight cries for the deceased. Daniel Bryan heads to the ring as the fans boo him, but it seems like half-hearted booing; my guess is it's bec »»
The WWE has actually suspended good ol' Evan Bourne for his second violation. "STAMFORD, Conn. – In accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE has suspended Matthew Korklan (Evan Bourne) for 60 days effective Tuesday, January 17 for his second violation of the company’s policy." Look »»
Well, it's been an interesting week, to say the least. We started things off with the debut of the Funkasaurus, then headed into Wednesday when my ex-girlfriend's dad passed away, and now here we are on Friday Saturday with another edition of Smackdown. Hopefully my week can end on a high note. »»
Salutations, my erstwhile audience! Welcome to another awesome edition of the Not-So-Live Smackdown Report. I'm your sarcastic and spoiler-free host, Mike Gojira. Well, spoiler-free in that I haven't checked out the Smackdown spoilers before I watched the show. Obviously this recap will have spo »»
Depending on when you read this, it's New Year's Eve 2011 or sometime in January of 2012. Either way, Happy New Year (ya drunk, irresponsible jerks)! By now you've no doubt heard about Randy Orton's back injury which he suffered at the Smackdown taping this past Tuesday. We'll definitely bear w »»
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final edition of The Stomping Ground. FOR 2011! Oh man, you should've seen the look on your faces! "ZOMG! NO MOOR STOMPIN GROWND!" I'll never leave you illiterate bastards. You need me too much, what with Blair's lovable brand of cynicism, Hargrove's Di »»
The most consistent column on Inside Pulse is back, baby! Well it's only been seven days but whatever. So I guess some shenanigans went down last Sunday night at TLC, huh? I guess everyone was just as surprised as I was when Beth Phoenix defeated Kelly Kelly to retain her title. This week, I'd »»
Sweet monkey Jesus, not another friggin' column! Sigh. I'm your lovable yada yada yada. End intro. I'm going to steal a page from CB's book and hold my own year-end awards. However, as I'm quite adept at this, I'll present a list of the biggest fails of the year in the world of professi »»
It's time for the usual taped edition of Friday Night Smackdown and I'm going to make a bold prediction: this show will be a MILLION times better than that live craptacular from last week. What is it about the WWE's inability to take a decent wrestling show like Smackdown and show it off to the fan »»
I'm not going to bitch and complain. Nope. Six columns in two weeks? That's just a drop in the hat. I could bemoan the fact that the Smackdown Holiday Special was worse than the Star Wars Holiday Special, but that's plain obvious. Instead, I'll just focus on a topic I developed over a m »»
Do not adjust your web browsers! Mike Gojira here, filling in for Aaron Glazer who recently suffered a death in the family. My condolences. For this week and this week only (apparently Rhett Davis wants back in), I'll be covering Monday Night Raw! Be sure to check me out Tuesday night for the Li »»
Everyone's favorite Smackdown recapper is back with more witty goodness. I'm no gondolier but I think I'm a pretty damn good host, wouldn't you say? Considering the day this article gets posted is Thanksgiving, and we'll all be gorging ourselves on turkey, I'm not expecting a huge turnout. It's »»
Welcome back, you selfish bastards, to the Not-So-Live WWE Smackdown Report! I'm sending this your way on a Saturday afternoon just hours before I go and drink myself into oblivion for my birthday celebration (I'll be 29, thank you) and a mere day before I head to Madison Square Garden for Survivor »»
Shock! Gasp! Awe! Did you see what Friday's date is?! 11/11/11! I guess we should all stop what we're doing and marvel at it! Oh, and the site has a new look, I guess. Welcome back to the Not-So-Live Smackdown Report. I'm your lovable and oh-so-suave host, Mike Gojira. At least that's w »»
I warned you all, didn't I? I said I'd be around twice a week...and here I am! I'm officially taking over for Kelly Floyd (as far as Smackdown recaps are concerned) and since I find the Blue Show to be far more enjoyable than Raw, this should make for some interesting write-ups. Let's get started »»
Vince McMahon only has himself to blame. Recently, it's been revealed that Vince McMahon is not too keen about the current climate of his Divas division. Not content with the way his ladies have been wrestling (if you can even call it that), Vince has reportedly ordered Michael Cole to belittl »»
