Anyone who reads my stuff here knows that I've talked a lot about Roman Reigns here, and that I'm a big fan of his. So with that, I'm typing this out as I'm still trying to grasp with his announcement that he's been battling leukemia for 11 years and now it's returned so he'll have … Continue reading Some thoughts on Roman Reigns
More about the Crown Jewel
Looks like the disdain a lot of people are showing towards Vince McMahon over the Crown Jewel show that to date is still on schedule won't be dying down. Some media outlets have latched onto it, and the mere mention of it at Smackdown got boos from the crowd. And now in social media land … Continue reading More about the Crown Jewel
The Crown Jewel – what to do?
Should they have even done it? In hindsight, it sure doesn't look like it. It looks like they and a lot of other companies that were chomping at the bit to get in there and do business went for the 'we're letting women drive now!' snow job and didn't take into account the long history … Continue reading The Crown Jewel – what to do?
Reevaluating WrestleMania 34
WrestleMania 34 definitely is one of those shows that can be filed under Things That Did Not Go According to Plan. It seemed like all of us were so super hyped going in, but when it was over most of us were pretty damn deflated for a lot of different reasons. So what happened? Was … Continue reading Reevaluating WrestleMania 34
Retro Recap – Hell in a Cell 2012
I figured that with Hell in a Cell on the way in a few days it was time for a Retro Recap of one of the previous offerings of this event. It's only been around as a standalone pay per view since 2009 I believe so there's some history but not like Summerslam or WrestleMania. … Continue reading Retro Recap – Hell in a Cell 2012
Retro Recap – Summerslam 1993
Summerslam 93 was in the middle of a really strange year in the WWF. The failed rehash of Hulkamania that ran from Wrestlemania IX through King of the Ring was over and Vince was stuck with a world champion in Yokozuna he didn't want to keep in place but no one to overthrow him and … Continue reading Retro Recap – Summerslam 1993
Extreme Rules Thoughts
First the quick and easy: The pre-show stuff was good. Sin Cara showed he can still go and Andrade Cien Almas is legit if you haven't watched him before he got called up. Remember though that things like he and Zelina Vega doing the tranquillo pose together during the match are going to be as … Continue reading Extreme Rules Thoughts
No one’s failed Daniel Bryan
July 6, 2018 was a day that some really absurd takes about Daniel Bryan were unleashed on us with functioning brains. In two different articles that I will not link to because I'm not here to serve up clicks for stuff I think is nonsense, it's been suggested that Daniel Bryan may be on his … Continue reading No one’s failed Daniel Bryan
Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
Takeover Chicago Three great, match of the year candidates. The opener for the tag titles is the best tag team match I've seen this year. Orney Lorcan and Danny Burch were made, winning over and earning the respect of a crowd that was cheering the more well known heels the Undisputed Era. Ricochet and Velveteen … Continue reading Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
Retro Recap – King of the Ring 1998
We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of King of the Ring 98, so I thought I'd take a look at it. It's important in the annals of history almost entirely because of the bumps Mick Foley (performing on this show as Mankind) took during the Hell in a Cell match he had against the … Continue reading Retro Recap – King of the Ring 1998
