WWE Fans: Comicpalooza 2015 is Bringing the Biggest Names in Professional Wrestling to Houston!

Every year Comicpalooza focuses on two or three areas of pop culture and really brings in some heavy hitting guests. While the past two years they’ve hosted some phenomenal professional wrestling stars, this year Comicpalooza turned it up another notch! And that’s saying a lot considering last year’s guests included former world champions and WWE Hall of Famers, Brett “Hitman Hart and Kevin Nash!

For Comicpalooza 2015, Houston’s premiere comic-con is hosting some of the biggest names in WWE’s history, including a number of surefire hall of famers and multiple world champions! This year’s guest list includes “The Icon” Sting, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Booker T and Sharmell, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Ron Simmons, “The ECW Original” Tommy Dreamer, and The Godfather. That’s nine HUGE guests and it’s not even a wrestling show. I might even go so far as to say this is the best professional wrestling guest line-up of any comic-con this year!

With a WWE line-up like this, how can you not attend Comicpalooza 2015 if you live in Texas or the surrounding area!?! Weekend passes, single day tickets and VIP passes to Comicpalooza 2015 are all still available through the Comicpalooza online store.

TNA Wrestling Victory Road PPV - A Real Letdown Of A Main Event

I was planning on posting this yesterday, but I just couldn’t bring myself to write about the TNA Wrestling event. It wasn’t that the Pay-Per-View was bad, because to be honest I thought the majority of the matches were actually pretty good. But, the fact that the TNA writers decided to end the night on such a horrible note and turn the main event into a complete mess was the real disappointment.


If you didn’t know already, the Main event between TNA World Champion Samoa Joe and Houstonian Booker T ended in an unfulfilling draw. The audience in the arena that night was made up of probably 80% Booker T fans, and the impression I got was most of them were only in attendance to support their local hero. Unfortunately for all of us, TNA saw this as an opportunity to plan a cop out of an ending, which left a bad taste in the mouths of most of the Houston wrestling fans in attendance.

As I initially thought about what I wanted to say about last Sunday’s Victory Road, I felt like I was being too hard on the organization. That is until I read Richard Gray’s reaction to Victory Road on Rajah.com where he called it one of the worst PPVs of the year. I just think it would have been a perfect opportunity for TNA to have Samoa Joe, a wrestler many feel doesn’t have the physique or wrestling style to be the face of an organization, drop the Championship belt and start an intense rivalry between Booker T and wrestling legend Sting. Instead we were left with a Sting/Joe/Booker three-way in our future and all of the Houston fans booing as they left the arena. Talk about leaving your fans angry, which is definitely not the best way to end a Pay-Per-View. It’s also not the best first impression to leave on a very pro professional wrestling city like Houston.

It’s unfortunate because TNA is a great wrestling organization with some really promising young wrestlers whom the company seems to be poorly mismanaging. Hopefully TNA will be able to get their act together and straighten the ship before it’s too late and they alienate their small but loyal fan base.

TNA Wrestling - Victory Road PPV on Sunday, July 13 in Houston

This Sunday I’m dragging Aly to Reliant Arena here in Houston, TX to watch TNA Wrestling's Victory Road '08 Pay-Per-View. I hope you don’t think less of me after reading that. Growing up in the 80’s The Blot was a huge fan of professional wrestling, and while I returned to watching the “sport” during its renaissance period of the late 90’s, I haven’t really followed the industry much lately other than reading up on it online. Like most of us who grew up following the Hulkster back in the day before he ever knew best, you probably haven’t heard of wrestling’s newest player, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.


Founded in 2002 by Jeff Jarrett, TNA Wrestling has quickly grown to solidify its position as the number 2 organization in wrestling, especially after its weekly television show, TNA iMPACT!, debuted on Spike TV. I haven’t attended a live wrestling event since before the year 2000, but when I heard Houston was hosting its very first TNA PPV I thought it was a great opportunity to checkout this up and coming wrestling brand.

What finally convinced me to purchase the tickets is when I found out one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, Houston’s very own Booker T, was headlining the PPV in a TNA World Championship Match against the TNA World Champion Samoa Joe. I’m hoping since the PPV is in Houston (where Booker T’s wrestling academy/wrestling promotion the Pro Wrestling Alliance is located) and it’s his first time to headline a TNA PPV singles match, he might finally win his very first TNA World Championship since leaving the WWE. If you live in the Houston area and are interested in attending the event, tickets are still available here at Ticketmaster.com.
