Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Moments of 2012

Number 9: The Debuts

In the year 2012, we had many debuts, but none were more interesting and shocking than The Shield at Survivor Series. They would take out Ryback, only a month after Brad Maddox screwed the monster inside Hell in a Cell. The debut brought three of the most ready rookies to the big leagues in a heart beat, and gave the WWE new life to work with. The debuts of these three guys were excellent, but we can also throw Big E Langston and Brodus Clay. January 9th, I remember finding out Brodus Clay was a Funkasaurus, and what the hell was this? Damien Sandow was a delighful surprise, and continues to interest me. He certainly can be a big piece in the future of the WWE. Whether the debuts were a shock in a positive or negative way, I still look back and see many positives things that came out of bringing these guys up. Some floated, some sank, but we got some fresh talent to watch and absorb. We will see more in 2013, and I think it could be a year that has even more big players.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
