RIP Dusty Rhodes
Dusty Rhodes has passed away at 69 years old. Rhodes was one of wrestling's biggest stars in the 1970s and 80s, and was my favorite NWA wrestler. Rhodes wasn't a great technician by any measure, but he was a master on the mic and at working a crowd. I remember watching him on Saturdays take … Continue reading RIP Dusty Rhodes
Roman Reigns Heel Turn? Why?
Every since his Royal Rumble victory didn't go over very well (and I'm being generous there), there have been whispers here and there that the WWE might just have to go ahead and turn Roman Reigns heel.

Payback Recap
Payback is all done, and unlike other shows I've recapped, I went to this one in person. Let me tell you, seeing it live is an entirely different experience than watching it at home. For one, it's a lot more fun being in the house and chanting along with the other fans. And second there … Continue reading Payback Recap
Why I don’t pine for the Attitude Era (UPDATED)
Note: I originally wrote this back in 2015, but after watching the Steve Austin biography on A&E I felt like going back and revisiting it. I made a few revisions and swapped out some names and dates to make it current. "It used to be better" That is the battle cry of many fans above … Continue reading Why I don’t pine for the Attitude Era (UPDATED)

CM Punk needs to shut up (again)
CM Punk did an interview with Sports Illustrated, that you can read in it's entirety here. Punk is always interesting to listen to, but the more he talks the more I get irritated with him. The rebel without a cause act wears real thin after a while, and the more he talks the more he … Continue reading CM Punk needs to shut up (again)
