    List of LaFratte: Tag Teams

    Over the past couple of years tag team wrestling has reemerged as major focal point in the landscape of pro wrestling with teams like The New Day, Usos and Young Bucks. Hopefully there will continue to be some accountability of the brass to plug some storyline into a once lost art.

    List of LaFratte: Hardcore Legends

    No rules, no holds barred, bring out the foreign objects, and extreme measures were taken.  This countdown has a special place in my heart due to the fact most of it is made up of ECW originals.  The original Extreme Championship Wrestling was more than just the third string quarterback to WCW and WWF.  Not to say […]
