In recent years Night of Champions has been somewhat of a throwaway event in that the big belt usually doesn't change hands. (The last time being in 2011; there were Dusty finishes in 2012 and 2013) While there are always some title changes to justify the name of the event, you'd have a hard time … Continue reading WWE Night of Champions Recap
Review – Batman #44
Warning: I'm pretty much spoiling the latest issue of the Batman comic book here. I do recommend getting it and reading it if you haven't already, even if you read this first. Comic books have been tackling social issues for decades, from racism to homophobia to drugs to the plight of the poor. The latest … Continue reading Review – Batman #44
Movie Review – 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown
12 Rounds 3: Lockdown is the third installment in an ongoing movie series from WWE Studios. The three movies aren't related, and each one stars a different WWE wrestler (the first one starred John Cena and the second one Randy Orton). And this one departed from the premise of the first two - the hero … Continue reading Movie Review – 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown
WWE RAW Report
OK, this is a rare Monday Night RAW report. I usually don't do them because I don't get around to watching the show until later in the week when you guys have read all the RAW reports/recaps you'll need for the week. But I went to the show last night so I saw it live … Continue reading WWE RAW Report
WWE Fairfax Show Report
As of this writing I've finished the first half of my WWE weekend. The house show is in the books, and it was a fun way to spend a Sunday night with my son. A lot has changed since the last time I went to a house show, which was in 1991. House shows used … Continue reading WWE Fairfax Show Report
Review – Superman: Doomsday
Superman: Doomsday came out in 2007, and with rumors of Doomsday being in the upcoming Batman v Superman: Down of Justice film I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the movie (ok, not really; my DVR was empty and I needed something to watch the other day). Anyhow, here's … Continue reading Review – Superman: Doomsday
#Summerslam Recap
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. They hit most of their marks on the show and we got probably the big emotional ending of the year in the NXT Women's Title Match. There … Continue reading NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Recap
