Welcome to part 2! I chose to go back in time, as far as 2016 for RAW and Smackdown, to see how things have gone over time and how today fares vs years past.

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
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.

Talking about racism….again
It's been a week since the great dragging of Tessa Blanchard began. If you're not up to speed Tessa was set to win the Impact World Title at their pay per view Hard to Kill this past Sunday, a historic feat in which a woman would be winning what is considered a men's title (Impact … Continue reading Talking about racism….again
Time to Go
Jim Cornette absolutely stepped in it this week when he said during the most recent episode of NWA Power that Trevor Murdoch was so tough he could ride through Ethiopia with a bucket of fried chicken..........yeahhhhh, that's no good. It went over about as well as you may think it did, so it's no shocker … Continue reading Time to Go
MLW Superfight Recap
This was the first pay per view outing for Major League Wrestling (MLW), one of the smaller wrestling companies out there making it's way alongside Impact, Ring of Honor, and the restarted NWA.
