It took a lot of searching for me to figure out what I wanted to say here after WrestleMania 34 ended. I was thinking 'this is a really great show we got here' right up until the Main Event. Some of the decisions caught me off guard. I was surprised at Asuka tapping out to … Continue reading What to do about Roman Reigns?
Retro Recap – WrestleMania 9
WrestleMania 9 was at a time of major flux for the WWF and the wrestling business, and not in a good way. If anything it was a sign of just how quickly things can change. When WrestleMania 8 ended the WWF roster was the most loaded it had ever been, but now.....yikes. Ric Flair, Ultimate … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 9
WWE Road to WrestleMania 2018
As was the case last year, the Road to WrestleMania tour came through locally here so I took in the show. With two weeks left until the biggest show of the year I didn't expect anything earth shattering but went in hoping for a good, entertaining show which we did indeed get. I've seen most … Continue reading WWE Road to WrestleMania 2018
Retro Recap – WrestleMania 12
WrestleMania 12 took place a few months before Hulk Hogan and WCW would shake up the wrestling business with the heel turn heard around the world. It was a real interesting time in that some major roster changes were about to take place that would have totally spoiled if they were to happen today. Scott … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 12
Fan Wars: Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan's clearance to wrestle and imminent return to the ring has had a very shall we say interesting side effect. We're not even 24 hours in and there is a civil war of sorts brewing between his most loyal fans and those of the man who has been the number one guy in the … Continue reading Fan Wars: Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan’s back! Now what?
Well......he's back! The official word came down from WWE today that Daniel Bryan is indeed cleared to wrestle again. So of course that means he's back for WrestleMania and beyond. I'm guessing that he'll work some kind of limited schedule, more frequently than Brock Lesnar does but not out on the road several nights a … Continue reading Daniel Bryan’s back! Now what?
Roman’s Main Events
The weeping and gnashing of teeth over Roman Reigns winning the Elimination Chamber match and getting a fourth straight WrestleMania main event is in full effect now. But rather that fight people on the internet over it, I have a simple question. Which WrestleMania main event would you have taken Roman out of? I'm running … Continue reading Roman’s Main Events
Retro Recap – WrestleMania 2000
WrestleMania 2000 took place at kind of the midpoint of the Attitude Era in that the in ring action would get demonstrably better after this show than it had been before, thanks to an infusion of talent from WCW (Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guererro, Perry Saturn) and their own ranks (Kurt Angle, … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 2000
Retro Recap _ WrestleMania 29
At the time it aired WrestleMania 29 felt like an own goal for WWE. It wasn't all bad, but it was far from great and could have very easily been a lot better with just a few changes. Some of the disappointing parts were well intentioned, but there were a lot of head schratchers given … Continue reading Retro Recap _ WrestleMania 29
Royal Rumble Weekend Thoughts
First up, NXT Takeover. Here are my takeaways: Adam Cole and Aleister Black are crazy. Johnny Gargano is really good. Adranae Cien Almas isn't bad either. OK, a little more than that. The NXT Women's Title match went down a little different than I expected. It was a decent enough match, with a pretty clever … Continue reading Royal Rumble Weekend Thoughts
