I made it out to the WWE house show the night before the Royal Rumble. I've been to Smackdown house shows and a couple in 2015 before the brand split, but this is my first RAW only house show (I went to Extreme Rules last year which was a RAW only pay per view, but … Continue reading WWE Live Baltimore Report
Rewriting History – WrestleMania 27
With all the chatter there has been about the Undertaker coming back one more time to take on John Cena (a bad idea that thankfully looks like it's not going to happen), I started thinking of when this match could and should have happened instead. I'm not a big fantasy booking guy anyway, so for … Continue reading Rewriting History – WrestleMania 27
Wacky Ideas for 2018 and Beyond
The WWE found itself in an interesting place last year. The roster is as loaded as it's ever been, and the in ring action remained consistently the best it's been for a while. But some competitors really stepped their games up, particularly New Japan, so there was no advantage gained. In fact, good wrestling is … Continue reading Wacky Ideas for 2018 and Beyond
Don’t Trust the Fans!
I'm writing this largely in reaction to the reaction a lot of folks have had to The Last Jedi. Way too many people are mad on the internet because writer/director Rian Johnson did not go with wish fulfillment of any of the multiple fan fiction speculation theories that were out there for the last two … Continue reading Don’t Trust the Fans!
TV Series Review – The Punisher
The Punisher was postponed until November because of the Las Vegas shooting tragedy; the people in charge rightfully figured that releasing a show centered around a guy who shoots people at that time was a bad idea. So we got in November instead. I was reluctant to watch at first regardless because I've always found … Continue reading TV Series Review – The Punisher
Wrestling Top Fives of 2017
2017 is winding down, so I'm going to attempt once again to do some year in review stuff. Maybe I'll actually finish it this time. There was a lot of good stuff in the wrestling world this year, both in and out of WWE, and I didn't get to see all of it so you're … Continue reading Wrestling Top Fives of 2017
TV Series Review – The Defenders
OK, I'm a few months late here but I finally got around to checking out The Defenders. I was going to watch it when it first dropped but then I started seeing all the mixed reviews/sentiments about it, and coming off of Iron Fist which a lot of people hated I figured it could wait. … Continue reading TV Series Review – The Defenders
Movie Review – Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The story here involves Rey (Daisy Ridley) seeking to learn the ways of the Jedi from Luke Skywalker and convince him to return to the battle between good and evil going on between the Republic and the First Order, while the Republic/Rebel fleet led by General Leia Organa and fighter pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Issac) … Continue reading Movie Review – Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Retro Recap – Starrcade 1998
Starrcade 98 was a real crossroads moment of sorts for WCW. After a year of losing ground in the TV ratings war to the WWF but still making good money otherwise, they had to decide what direction to take their biggest star of the moment, Goldberg, and what to do with the remnants of the … Continue reading Retro Recap – Starrcade 1998
Movie Review – The Marine 4
So why on Earth would I watch the fourth installment of a straight to video movie series? And why on Earth am I actually reviewing it? Well, why not? The other WWE film reviews I've done here have been fairly popular as far you guys clicking on them, my DVR was empty, and I had … Continue reading Movie Review – The Marine 4
