At TLC, Daniel Bryan was unable to overcome The Wyatt Family. Will Bray Wyatt continue his quest of getting Bryan to join his flock?

Who will be next to test the brotherly bond of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes & Goldust?

Is Roman Reigns, The Shield’s weak link? Reigns mistakenly speared his own partner, Dean Ambrose, which allowed CM Punk to get the pinfall at TLC. Has Punk uncovered the code to beating The Shield?

Perhaps no one is riding a bigger wave of momentum into 2014 than the Intercontinental champion, Big E Langston. Matching his might seems almost implausible.

Randy Orton emerged from TLC the Champion of Champions. Although The Authority, including Mr. McMahon himself, emerged & showed their respect to the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, how long will it take before they decide it’s time to put him to the test?

Mick Foley Loses In Controversary Fashion In Fruitcake Eating Contest

Mick Foley - Fruitcake eating contest

First place finish at the 2013 International Fruitcake Eating Championship on December 7th in Santa Claus, Indiana by Mick Foley was overturned by Judges. Foley appeared to have achieved an upset by being the first competitor to finish a one-pound fruitcake & bellow out a jolly “Ho! Ho! Ho!”, the required signal of completion. However the judges threw out Foley’s potentially winning time, when they ruled that Foley was responsible for the half-eaten fruitcake that had been found hidden under a napkin. Foley was ultimately awarded 4th place by the judges, a ruling which still allowed him to finish ahead of several competitors. Foley wants a rematch next year.
