WrestleMania V was the kind of the show that happens when you plan things out too well, too far in advance. Boasting maybe his most loaded roster since he took over from his Dad, Vince put on a bloated show that came off like it was focus grouped to death inside the WWF offices and … Continue reading Retro Recap – Wrestlemania V
Elimination Chamber 2017 Thoughts
The night was about two people in particular: Bray Wyatt and Naomi, two people who have worked their asses off for five plus years to overcome bad first gimmicks and become champions. Their victories are a beacon of hope for everyone toiling away in developmental, or at the bottom of the main roster or even … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2017 Thoughts
RIP Richard Hatch
My generation has lost another star from pop culture as Richard Hatch has passed away at 71 years old.

You can read all that in the … Continue reading RIP Richard Hatch
Royal Rumble 2017 Recap
Pre-Show Matches The six woman tag match was pretty good, about what I expected. They got just under 10 minutes, fine for a pre-show match.

While I hope we don't get a whole new draft (completely unnecessary in my opinion) there are some swaps and call ups that would make some sense to me, other than what we … Continue reading Roster Swapping

Marvel's big event of 2016 came to a wrap a few weeks, landing with a bit of a thud. Civil War II did not get the near universal praise that Secret Wars did last year and as it came to an end a lot of us were just glad to get it over with. I … Continue reading So what went wrong with Civil War 2?
RIP Carrie Fisher
One of the first movies I remember going to see on a big screen was Star Wars. Like so many other people I was taken by the the spaceships, the laser guns, and the lightsabers and was eternally affected by the imposing figure of Darth Vader. And like a lot of boys my age I … Continue reading RIP Carrie Fisher
Movie Review – Star Wars: Rogue One
Ok, this is better late than never but I finally got around to seeing Rogue One. We're at this point where people are so happy with the Disney-fied Star Wars product that every new show or movie is getting floated as best ever. Rogue One had the task of telling a story that would add … Continue reading Movie Review – Star Wars: Rogue One
