You know what? I was wrong. I really did think that the ship had sailed on Roman Reigns turning heel at this point, at least for the time being. But lo and behold here were are. This past Friday stood in the ring flanked by Paul Heyman, who made it clear what the deal was. … Continue reading Turning Roman Reigns Heel in 2020? Yeah they did
Turning Roman Reigns Heel…..in 2020?
Five years ago I wrote about the desire from a lot of people to turn Roman Reigns heel and why I thought that was a dumb idea. And since then it's gotten consistent traffic every year even though I don't even promote it anymore until I tweeted it back out today. Now that is probably … Continue reading Turning Roman Reigns Heel…..in 2020?
Summerslam 2020 Thoughts
Women's Title Matches: Asuka vs Bayley (c) and Asuka vs Sasha Banks (c) Both matches were very good to great, and they moved the storyline along in important ways. Sasha took the bullet for Bayley to help her retain her title but Bayley did not return the favor when it was her turn to help … Continue reading Summerslam 2020 Thoughts
Retro Recap – One Night Stand 2008
I've been going through the years I missed while on breaks from watching wrestling, and now I'm halfway through 2008. 2007 ended on a pretty lackluster note with John Cena out injured for months and Chris Benoit's murder/suicide casting a huge shadow over the entire business and forcing some much needed cleaning up both in … Continue reading Retro Recap – One Night Stand 2008
Naomi’s Opportunities
What has she gotten, and what should she be getting? OK so let's look at the record here, going back to the beginning of the women's revolution. Thanks to cagematch.net we can do just that. I looked for matches against who can be considered the most important women in the company - the 4 Horsewomen, … Continue reading Naomi’s Opportunities
Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
We are now two months into the empty arena era, and I gotta tell you it seems like it's been a lot longer. Maybe that's because there's no end in sight, I don't know. But while I know some of you guys just aren't feeling the empty arena thing enough to watch every week I've … Continue reading Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
WWE Holiday Tour 2019
I closed out 2019 with the Holiday Tour in Baltimore. The Royal Farms Arena, formerly the Baltimore Arena, is one of the great midsize building to go to for a wrestling show (AEW was just here in November for Full Gear) and there has been some real wrestling history here. I've been here myself for … Continue reading WWE Holiday Tour 2019
Running more numbers on Roman Reigns
Every time I tell myself I'm not jumping back into the Roman Reigns internet wars, something happens to bring me back in like Michael Corleone in Godfather III. There have been a bunch of stupid articles, videos, etc the past month or so about Roman, speculating that he has heat backstage for pulling out of … Continue reading Running more numbers on Roman Reigns
Time to shut it down
But why they probably won't (If you'd rather listen than read I talked about this on my Rob the Genius podcast on Anchor, Spotify, and Apple podcasts). As of right now, WWE and AEW are still going to be putting on TV shows. They both taped a good bit of stuff in March and early … Continue reading Time to shut it down
Retro Recap – Clash of the Champions 8
This recap is brought to you by the quarantine! Yeah, I was looking for something I hadn't watched in a while and I settled on this one. I was a big NWA fan back in the day so I saw this when it happened, but I haven't watched it in a long time. The Clash … Continue reading Retro Recap – Clash of the Champions 8
