You look at the calendar and notice it's Thursday. Great, you say, tonight is going to be an awesome night of Total Nonstop Action. And then reality sets in, TNA is no longer on Thursdays. Blast that Monday Night War! Well, fear not, here are some alternatives to take your mind off of the lack of professional wrestling on your Thursday night.
WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year. People around the world come to see the biggest show of them all. At the end of the show, you want people to go away not only talking about the show, but going home happy. You don't want to piss people off and make the crowd angry at the end of the show. Everyone wants a storybook ending and something they can talk about for years to come. its very own (virtual) Hall of Fame. Voting will start March 7, 2010 and will close on March 24, 2010. Best of all, Unlike the WWE Hall of Fame and many others, you will vote in the winners.
After seeing a similar list on SportsIllustrated.com, I started thinking about the most dominate pro wrestlers in wrestling history. And after some searching and prodding, I came up with the Most Dominant Pro Wrestlers By Decade, starting with the 1950s.

It also marks the comebacks of Frank Trigg and Matt Serra. One will be one step closer to a UFC title, the other one step closer to a release from their UFC contract. Rolles Gracie vs. Joey Beltran Rolles bears the famous name, but doesn't live up to the Gracie hype. Despite winning the first round, his multiple attempts becomes easily read as Joey Beltran gets on top and pounds away victory. Joey Beltran def. Rolles Gracie via TKO (Punches) Rd2 Tim Hague vs. Chris Tuchscherer This was the battle of the titans as Hague and Tuchscherer went fast and hard. The two beast battle back and forth exchanging rights and lefts throughout. Unfortunately, for Hague, his tank seemed to be on empty, as he dropped behind in points in round two. Hague more than made up for his empty tank in round three as he made Chris Tuchscherer unmercifully eat punches. Tuchscherer is saved by the bell as Hague is unloading bombs. Despite appearing to win the first and third round, Tuchscherer is awarded the victory by the judges. Chris Tuchscherer def. Tim Hague via Majority Decision Brian Stann vs. Phil Davis Round one starts with Brian Stann looking to take Davis down for a submission victory...unsuccessfully. This was pretty much the course of the bout. Surprisingly though, the fight saw Phil Davis looking for a kimora. Davis dominated this matchup, as Stann looked frustrated throughout. Phil Davis def. Brian Stann via Unanimous Decision
It seems like a long time since Phillipe Nover was dominating the Ultimate Fighter program as Emerson gives Nover the fight of his career. It seems like a long time since Nover was sinking in a guillotine on Emerson in the first round. Starting with the second, Emerson is able to grind out a victory by pinning Nover to the mat time and time again. Robert Emerson def. Phillipe Nover via Unanimous Decision Melvin Guillard vs. Ronys Torres Melvin Guillard looks to bounce back after a submission lost to Nick Diaz as he takes on Ronys Torres. It doesn't start off right. Torres technique looks crisp and on point. Good movement allows Torres to counter Guillard with ease. The momentum shifts in between rounds as Guillard escapes Torres' ground game as easily as he hits the mat. Looking for more of a fight, Guillard mocks Torres, which gets him slammed for his joking around. Guillard once again reversed him and put him on notice with a right. Melvin Guillard def. Ronys Torres via Unanimous Decision Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buchholz Mac Danzig comes into this bout with three straight losses. What the record doesn't show is how close toughly contested those losses were. This is something Justin Buchholz would quickly learn. Although Danzig is taken down, he throws hard from the bottom and forces Buchholz to stand. Danzig sees his opening and throws a flurry of punches, which leads to a trip and Danzig taking his back as time expires. Mac Danzig def. Justin Buchholz via Unanimous Decision Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg Change the title of this fight from Relentless to Retribution. Both Serra and Trigg are coming off losses. Their age comes into question, has this game passed them by. Trigg begs to differ. He did not agree to his stoppage loss to Josh Koscheck. This will be dejavu for Trigg. Trigg eats a counter hook from Matt Serra in the very first round and Serra, like a pitt bull smelling blood, ponced over and unleashed. The ref stopped the fight much to the anger of Frank Trigg. Matt Serra def. Frank Trigg via TKO Rd1 Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller This is the battle of the submission specialist. Don't expect any flashy KOs in this one. Deian Maia is a man on a mission after suffering his first, and only, loss to top contender Nate Marquert. Miller looking to redeem himself after a decision lost to Marquert's next opponent. Six Degrees of Nate Marquert? This was a super slow bout, many onlooking getting impatient with the battle of positions. I guess two great ground games cancel each other out, they both trying to stand even though it's neither of the two's game. After 15 long minutes it goes to the judges decision. Maia is able to win the standup game, and the fight. Demian Maia def. Dan Miller via Unanimous Decision Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thiago Anyone remember when one fighter went by the name Mick "Quick" Swick? A slow three round defeat to now number one contender, Dan Hardy has momentarily thrown off Swick from his golden goal, a win over Paulo Thiago can put him back on track. In tonight's bout, both seem reluctant to exchange, vying on the side of caution. The fans do not approve. Both fighters seem to try and redeem themselves in round two as they exchange moments after the bell. Swick was not quick enough. He gets caught and Thiago jumps in for the kill and locks on a vicious choke. The fight is stopped. Swick out cold! Paulo Thiago def. Mike Swick via D'arce Choke Rd2 Nate Marquardt vs. Chael Sonnen This bout is for the number one contender's spot. Who wants Anderson Silva more? A fight with the Spider doesn't seem like much of a trophy to me, not with him being on the top of his game like he is. But lucky for me I'm not the one in the cage. Sonnen dominates round one with some defining ground and pound. Somehow, Marquardt throws an elbow and busts Sonnen wide open. More blood than a three Jaws movies combined. Okay, not that much. But Sonnen is now painted red. Going into the third round now. What a war. Sonnen, a world class wrestler, continues to pin Marquardt to his back. Sonnen just pounding him into submission, just don't expect Nate to tap. Nate somehow rolls and gets on top, but does he have any energy left to inflict damage? He needs a finish? Up to the judges now. Marquardt didn't seem to really want a rematch with Silva, now he got his wish. Chael Sonnen def. Nate Marquardt by Unanimous Decision Post match: Sonnen said he thinks he can fight anyone God's ever made. We shall see when he faces the Spider. Nate says he still can get the title and will be back. Rashad Evans shown. Crowd boos. They aren't in Memphis are they? Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman The battle of two legends. The first UFC heavyweight champion vs the oldest UFC heavyweight champion. I think the winner of this bout gets a shot at Strikeforce's Herschel Walker for the unified geriatrics title. I kid, I kid. This should be good. "I've got ice in my veins" is the first line to Mark Coleman's entrance song. Nice. Randy Couture, calm as always. Smilling for now. Joe Rogan like a kid in a candy store, "man I'm pumped for this." Just me, or should Mark Coleman have a ton more than just 16 wins and 9 losses in his career. He fought in the time, fighters would fight like 5 times in one night. Randy's 27-10, much more like it. Randy looks 27, the former Army boxer is peppering Coleman with punches. Crowd going nuts. Coleman backs him up a second with a hook. Classic Couture, dirty boxing up against the cage. Coleman's got nothing. Round one ends, with Randy stealing Coleman's nickname as he "Hammers" Mark with thunderous uppercuts as he pummels. Nobody's able to answer the dirty boxing of Couture. Randy even gave Lesnar some difficulty in this position. Straight from the bell, he uses his dirty boxing to take down Coleman. Couture quickly gets the mount, secures the back, and gets his first submission victory since 2002. He walked in on Stranglehold. He leaves after strangling Mark Coleman. Randy Couture def. Mark Coleman via Rear Naked Choke Rd2 Post Match: Coleman says he'll be back. Tito Ortiz yells something out, Coleman yells out a couple choice curse words towards Tito, and says "anytime Tito." Tito should be worrying about Chuck Liddell right about now. He can exchange a war of words with Coleman if he losses.
