The Meaning of the Boss
Last year during WrestleMania season, I asked Tonya to share her thoughts on the Main Event between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, both before and after the match happened.

Cody owes you nothing
Traitor! You betrayed us! You sold out! How could you! These things and more have recently been said about Cody Rhodes re: leaving AEW and going back to the WWE. If you're like me then you've been alternating between laughing at the people saying this stuff and being concerned that there are way too many … Continue reading Cody owes you nothing
2021 NY 50
So it's that time of year again where me and some friends on the internet submit ballots for the NY 50, our top 50 WWE performers for the year. This is my fourth one and in previous years my winners were Charlotte Flair (2018), Kofi Kingston (2019), and Drew McIntyre (2020), and in this year's … Continue reading 2021 NY 50
Review – The Book of Boba Fett
I remember when I first saw Boba Fett. It wasn't onscreen, it was special offer on the back of the box of a Star Wars toy my parents had gotten me.

Review – Impact Wrestling Hard to Kill
This is the first pay per view of the year for Impact Wrestling, and the fourth one that I've ever ordered. Away from all the hoopla of WWE and AEW Impact has quietly put on some good shows over the past year and a half. And now that their ill fated partnership with AEW is … Continue reading Review – Impact Wrestling Hard to Kill
Favorites of 2021 – Wrestling
2021 is coming to a close and everybody likes to do those Best of the Year lists, and as I am prone to do I was overthinking mine. So instead of trying to make some academic case as to why this wrestler, this match, etc was objectively in the top five or whatever I figured … Continue reading Favorites of 2021 – Wrestling
Review – Batman: Fear State
Fear State has come to its conclusion, and with it the run of James Tynion as both a Batman and DC comics writer as he has headed over to substack to do the freelance thing. Substack is the latest effort by writers to male their own way outside of the established order, be it newspapers … Continue reading Review – Batman: Fear State
ROH Final Battle 2021
I haven't been to a wrestling pay per view since Ring of Honor's Best in the World in 2018, so when they announced that Final Battle would be taking place nearby I went and got a ticket. A few weeks prior came the shocking and sad announcement that ROH would be shutting down after this … Continue reading ROH Final Battle 2021
