The Bunkhouse Stampede was the second attempt at pay per view for Jim Crockett Promotions and the NWA just two months after their first try, Starrcade 87, was dealt a pretty heavy blow by one Vince McMahon putting the screws to the cable companies and running an event on the same day. It was also … Continue reading Retro Recap – Bunkhouse Stampede
On Lars Sullivan and Racism at work
Do I expect WWE to fire Lars Sullivan over his racist/sexist/homophobic comments? Probably not. I have not read them all but I've seen a few, but unless there's language in the contract he signed that gives them room to do it then they're likely risking a lawsuit that they may not come out on top … Continue reading On Lars Sullivan and Racism at work
Avengers Endgame Thoughts
This is kinda spoilery so proceed with caution if you haven't seen it yet. You cannot talk about any of this without giving the highest of praise to Robert Downey Jr. His portrayal of Tony Stark in Iron Man is what got the ball rolling and was so off the charts great that it got … Continue reading Avengers Endgame Thoughts
Creative Freedom isn’t an Entitlement
This one is coming on the heels of John Moxley (or as you may know him, Dean Ambrose) releasing a video that is essentially proclaiming his freedom from WWE. One of the reasons, if not the main reason, Dean/John did not renew his contract is that he didn't like the roles he was given by … Continue reading Creative Freedom isn’t an Entitlement
Awesome Con 2019 Highlights
As everyone who frequents the site knows I hit up Awesome Con in DC every year, and 2019 was no exception. This year I got to stay a little longer and get a lot more pictures, although I didn't get to do multiple days for the second year in a row. If you can I … Continue reading Awesome Con 2019 Highlights
WrestleMania 35 – KofiMania!!!
First, the easy stuff. Pre Show All the matches were fine. The Men's Battle Royal was fun and the Women's Battle Royal was ok, even though the stigma of the whole SmackDown side getting the shaft a few weeks ago is still there. The Raw Tag Team match was a good match, albeit a bit … Continue reading WrestleMania 35 – KofiMania!!!
Final Chapters – The Matrix Revolutions
We are now at the 20th Anniversary of The Matrix being released in theaters so I figured it would be fitting to add the final installment in that trilogy to my list of Final Chapter reviews. We're only a few weeks away from Avengers: Endgame as I do this so I got time for one, maybe two more after … Continue reading Final Chapters – The Matrix Revolutions
Costs and Benefits in the World of Wrestling
In case you missed it or forgot about it already, John Oliver did a pretty scathing piece on how the WWE treats it wrestlers in regards to healthcare, retirement benefits and classifying the wrestlers as independent contractors instead of employees. After further review I'm not a big fan of the piece. Why? Because while he … Continue reading Costs and Benefits in the World of Wrestling
A Right to Complain?
Not gonna bother with a flowery intro here. We're a week away from WrestleMania, and what was supposed to be a Smackdown Women's title match got pulled from the show entirely and instead we got an impromptu title match last Tuesday where Charlotte Flair beat Asuka for the title. Now as big a fan as … Continue reading A Right to Complain?
Believing in the Shield
Unless something changes, we're heading into the home stretch for what is in my opinion the best faction I've ever seen with the exception of the first run of the Four Horsemen. When they first debuted if you'd told me that I would be making that statement today I would have blown you off. But … Continue reading Believing in the Shield
