      This isn't cause I care about wrestling or his site but, i think having 2000 posts in 2 months is retarded

      I think the site looks good btw.

            although not too keen on the ads, they tend to take your attention away from the main purpose of the content of the site, also maybe a little too much info to take in, just my opinion,,

              i dig the logo & the color scheme! ..though i'd say the small url in the logo could a bit sharper.

                  Much better than what you usually see in these types of threads

                  In my opinion the header could be less busy, you've got a nice logo - why not make it slightly larger? And maybe style them blue links more, there are so many of them!

                      I really like the logo. Whoever did that does nice work.

                      Spend you some brain.

                        Wow that is a lot of content.. I just don't see a Wrestling fan being able to read thru all of that.. Should put less on the page and use a larger font..

                                needs more sex on there. it's not adult enough for mainstream website.

                                    It's a bit busy like mentioned before, but it looks okay. I'd hire a designer to clean it up a little. Nice logo btw.

                                        The headlines have some oldskool <HR> dividers. I'd remove them and use CSS to give every 2nd row a different color. It'll look better and it would be easier on the eyes.

                                        The search bar goes almost unnoticed. I'd change the colors on it and make it a bit bigger so people can actually see there's a search function.

                                        There's a lot more things that I'd change, but I have work to do. Good luck!

                                            ive been going back and forth on the <HR>s for a while but i just took them off again and think i'll leave them off

                                            i just put up a more visually pleasing search box too

                                                There's too much going on and it distracts the reader. Shorten the page so you can increase clickthroughs. Also, prioritize the stories based on CTR (there's scripts that do this). Add an email collection system. Dial down the ads a bit because it gets in the way of readability.

                                                Also, change your URL structure/permalinks so it's more SE-friendly. For more SE traffic, create a lot of reference pages -- maybe biographies of wrestlers, wrestling events background information, information on wrestling movies. Key these towards searched keywords and subkeywords.

                                                                I used to run a wrestling site in the 90's. In fact that is how I got started in all of this.

                                                                I still remember buying a little HTML book and going over the source code for WrestleZone trying to make sense of how they built it.

                                                                I had mine on Expage first, and I would click my toplist link all night long keeping me towards the top. Then I moved to Geocities and then my own domain.
