Roode retains yet again to cap off thrilling Sacrifice
By MATT BISHOP - SLAM! Wrestling
Bobby Roode is closing in on being the longest-reigning TNA World Heavyweight Champion for a reason: He just keeps winning. His title reign, though, was put to the test at Sacrifice as he faced Rob Van Dam in a ladder match with the title on the line. Who would survive the brutal match and walk away champion to cap one of TNA's best pay-per-view efforts in a while? That match highlighted an excellent card that also saw tremendous matches between Bully Ray and Austin Aries and Kurt Angle and AJ Styles. FULL STORY

Roode, Storm try, but can't save disappointing Lockdown
By MATT BISHOP - SLAM! Wrestling
For nearly half a year, James Storm has been hunting down Bobby Roode. In front of his hometown crowd, Storm finally had a chance to win the big one, but things didn't go the way he, or the crowd, expected, as Roode escaped by the skin of his teeth once again in the main event of a decidedly less-than-average show.

Highs of Taker-HHH, Cena-Rock and Punk-Jericho overcome plenty of lows at WrestleMania XXVIII
By DALE PLUMMER and NICK TYLWALK -- SLAM! Wrestling
It's not often that the main event of WrestleMania gets a whole year of hype behind it. In fact it's never happened before this year, when the entire wrestling-watching world knew since around this time in 2011 that John Cena and The Rock would go face to face in Miami in a match billed as “Once in a Lifetime.” Judging by the reactions of a record crowd of 78,363 at Sun Life Stadium for WrestleMania XXVIII on Sunday, that was a wise business decision by the WWE.

ROH 10th anniversary show mixes new blood with old
By DARREN WOOD - SLAM! Wrestling
A decade ago, when Ring of Honor began, few really gave it much thought or chance -- and why should they have really? It looked to be just another independent wrestling company trying to come together and make a name for itself. But luckily ROH wasn't just like any other company, and as time went by the company grew and grew. FULL STORY

Good matches but not enough of them at Elimination Chamber
By DALE PLUMMER and NICK TYLWALK -- SLAM! Wrestling
It’s always tricky trying to anticipate what might happen at Elimination Chamber since it sits between two of the WWE’s biggest events in any given year. Suffice it to say that the WWE must find it difficult to put together as well, because Sunday’s show in Milwaukee had a serious case of multiple personality disorder. FULL STORY

TNA delivers excellent show with Against All Odds
By MATT BISHOP - SLAM! Wrestling
Sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get a good pay-per-view out of TNA. That was anything but the case Sunday at Against All Odds. From top to bottom, the card delivered. The matches you thought would be good delivered above expectations while the lacklustre matches on paper held their own. The show was highlighted by the Fatal Four Way for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship and the X Division Title match between Austin Aries and Alex Shelley. FULL STORY
