Original post found at: www.IllegalForeignObject.com: If you follow my Twitter feed at all, it likely hasn’t taken you long to realize I’m a pretty big fan of Elijah Burke, aka The Pope, D’Angelo Dinero. His departure from the WWE, after what I considered a massive waste of talent on the part of the organization, drove me crazy. As such, I was thrilled when he debuted for TNA in 2009, figuring they’d seen how not to use him, and would not make the same mistakes…. [Continue Reading]

Original post found at: www.illegalforeignobject.com Kofi Kingston is capable of so much more than what he’s shown us since his 2008 WWE debut. The thing about it though, it’s not Kofi’s fault in the least. I lay the blame squarely at the feet of WWE’s almighty booking contingent, as it is they whom have pigeonholed the Ghana native into the smiling babyface role he’s held for his entire 4+ year run. The second Kingston debuted on ECW, he was over with the fans. His… [Continue Reading]

Last night’s ambulance match between John Cena and Kane at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view was filled with intrigue and speculation. Something had to happen with Cena, right? The 10-time WWE Champion was not the same person that we had seen in years past. The smiles and happy-go-lucky attitude had been put on the backburner in favor of a solemn, angry tone.
