This week, the guys talk about Zack Ryder getting his US Title shot after John Cena saves the fans from having to see ANOTHER WWE Title run as well as TNA Impact, where Scott Steiner thinks he can out-freak Abyss and more.

This week’s special guest is none other than former WCW Tag Team Champion, Big Vito Lagrasso. There’s been big heat on the WWE for their “Biggest Turkeys” list during Thanksgiving and Vito will let it all hang out there this week on the official podcast of the Unchained Wrestling Network, Running The Ropes.

Hello friends and welcome to this week’s The 10 Count!. This wrestling week was short and sweet…well…sort of…This Monday’s Raw was a platform for greatness, whereas Smackdown! was a platform for the WWE’s comedy act. Both shows saw two big title matches and neither of those matches disappointed. Let’s see who hit big and who missed like a true…ass-clown Can you tell who I believe is behind the It Begins vignette? Let’s start the count! More

Two cryptic messages played-out on Monday Night Raw. WWE’s Twitter bar went ‘fuzzy’ for a bit, allowing us to catch glimpses of a YouTube address in between the distortion. The YouTube channel in particular is this http://www.youtube.com/user/itbegins2012. Check out the creepy video below or in the channel itself. The other video was obviously a teaser for the return of the Big Red Machine, Kane! But more importantly, it could signal the return of Kane is his mask! More after the jump: More

Okay, first things first. The insanely-vocal crowd at Madison Square Garden last night reminded me why I continue to be a fan of WWE and pro-wrestling. Survivor Series turned out to be my favorite PPV of the year right next to Money In The Bank. It was a night of nostalgia, of great homages, of rich WWE history, and of renewed spirits. The old beautifully fused with the new, and the ones in between made the scenario perfect. Survivor Series made me realize that in chaos of the clusterf**k that is WWE, there’s still some pretty good entertainment to be had, and it was awesome being able to learn something like that.  More

Never Before. Never Again!
Let’s not fool ourselves. This PPV is built around one thing and one thing only, and that’s the epic team-up of the biggest WWE superstar of the current generation, John Cena, and possibly the greatest WWE superstar of all time, The Rock! It’s been 7 long years since The Great One laced-up a pair of boots (which will come into contact with some unfortunate behinds, apparently), and that alone is worth the price of this WWE PPV event.  More

Raw is from ruckus Liverpool (“Who Are Ya, Who Are Ya!!”) and they put on one helluva show for the good people over in the UK. But wait! Something dark and sinister lurks in the corner! Something with hair combed-back into a mini-ponytail that looks like it crawled out of the early 90′s. This ‘something’ has a beard. This something messes up every sentence by second-guessing his choice of words. And this something…takes advantage of children!! Kevin Nash, you big creepy bast@rd! More

The wrestling week is coming to a close. Let’s end it right as we count down the 10 ways Raw and Smackdown! Could have been more kick a**! Raw kicked off the week featuring The Muppets. Smackdown! saw some rivalries perhaps end, while others seem to just getting started. Let’s start the count!  More
