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
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).

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
#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

RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper
So just a few weeks after losing Dusty Rhodes, we've lost another wresting icon. Rowdy Roddy Piper died Friday at age 61. Piper was easily one of the biggest heels ever and definitely top five in the 1980s. And when I say biggest heels, I mean that he was so hated that he got legit … Continue reading RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper
The Hulk Hogan situation
Well, if you're a wrestling fan and haven't been under a rock today you've probably heard about Hulk Hogan being all but completely disappeared from WWE history after some pretty damning quotes in a court transcript were released that showed Hogan using the n-word a whole bunch of times and letting his inner racist out … Continue reading The Hulk Hogan situation
