I had not planned on writing about this. Going in this screamed B level pay per view to get us to the draft, and only of the title matches was not a foregone conclusion going in. And yet here I am because it turned out to be much more than that. Liv Morgan vs Carmella … Continue reading Extreme Rules 2021 Thoughts
Money in the Bank 2021
And the big reset Money in the Bank is usually the biggest pay per view after the big four, but this year it had a special significance in that it was the first one with a full capacity of fans since Elimination Chamber 2020. There were also rumors of people returning and that a draft … Continue reading Money in the Bank 2021

Wrestlemania 37 Rundown
I got a bunch of stuff on WrestleMania 37, and here is a quick rundown of what I thought of the card across the board. There's a lot to unpack, and to be honest I don't have super deep thoughts on every part of the show so some of this is going to be brief. … Continue reading Wrestlemania 37 Rundown
WrestleMania 37 Deeper Thoughts
https://twitter.com/Kazeem/status/1382386427523129350?s=19 Indeed it was, and not because of the number of participants but because of the roles they were given, from headliners to defending champions to rising stars to young prospects to wily veterans here to help said young prospects. There was a level of trust to Black wrestlers at this show, for the ring … Continue reading WrestleMania 37 Deeper Thoughts
Dreaming in Reality
As with the Royal Rumble I felt it was best to turn things over to a Black woman to discuss the significance, and Tonya graciously agreed to do that again. She's the author of this piece. Find her at @TheWitchMilitia on Twitter. I sat down to watch Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 this past Saturday … Continue reading Dreaming in Reality
Retro Recap – Survivor Series 1987
This was the inaugural running of this event, and it's origin is that basically Vince McMahon did not want NWA promoter Jim Crockett getting a foothold in pay per view, and created an event that ran the same night to force cable companies to choose which one they would carry. You see kids back then … Continue reading Retro Recap – Survivor Series 1987
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
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
