The show is all over and boy did it end on a strange note. The main event honestly deserves it's own piece, which I'll have up next. As for the rest of the show here's what I think: Sheamus vs Randy Orton Good opener. Sheamus wins clean to even things up from Battleground when Orton … Continue reading #Summerslam Recap
Booking NXT vs Booking WWE
With NXT catching on so well over the last year it's not out of the ordinary to see people on social media proclaiming it's superiority over the main WWE product. I'm not here to 'well actually' that sentiment, but comparing the two are like apples and oranges. I like NXT, and when it's at … Continue reading Booking NXT vs Booking WWE
NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Recap
The prelude show to Summerslam is all done, and was an excellent outing that the main show tonight is going to have a hard time living up to.

RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper
So just a few weeks after losing Dusty Rhodes, we've lost another wresting icon. Rowdy Roddy Piper died Friday at age 61. Piper was easily one of the biggest heels ever and definitely top five in the 1980s.

Mediocre Movie Review – The Marine
It's time for another Mediocre Movie Review. This time we are crossing genres with The Marine, starring WWE wrestler John Cena.

Well, if you're a wrestling fan and haven't been under a rock today you've probably heard about Hulk Hogan being all but completely disappeared from WWE history after some pretty damning quotes in a court transcript were released that showed Hogan using the n-word a whole bunch of times and letting his inner racist out … Continue reading The Hulk Hogan situation
