Why Dave Meltzer's comments deserve the heat that he got for them We're still hashing out the mess that Dave Meltzer made of himself a few days ago on his podcast when he said (I'm paraphrasing here) that Peyton Royce looked more attractive when she was in NXT when she was 'lighter' (a reference to … Continue reading Woman’s (Wrestling) Work
A night at NOVA Pro Wrestling
My wrestling fan quest for 2018 continued this past weekend in Northern Virginia for a local indie NOVA Pro Wrestling. I got wind of them through social media and finally had a few free hours on a Saturday so I figured why not give them a shot. If you feel so inclined and there's one … Continue reading A night at NOVA Pro Wrestling
Retro Recap – Summerslam 1993
Summerslam 93 was in the middle of a really strange year in the WWF. The failed rehash of Hulkamania that ran from Wrestlemania IX through King of the Ring was over and Vince was stuck with a world champion in Yokozuna he didn't want to keep in place but no one to overthrow him and … Continue reading Retro Recap – Summerslam 1993
Extreme Rules Thoughts
First the quick and easy: The pre-show stuff was good. Sin Cara showed he can still go and Andrade Cien Almas is legit if you haven't watched him before he got called up. Remember though that things like he and Zelina Vega doing the tranquillo pose together during the match are going to be as … Continue reading Extreme Rules Thoughts
No one’s failed Daniel Bryan
July 6, 2018 was a day that some really absurd takes about Daniel Bryan were unleashed on us with functioning brains. In two different articles that I will not link to because I'm not here to serve up clicks for stuff I think is nonsense, it's been suggested that Daniel Bryan may be on his … Continue reading No one’s failed Daniel Bryan
Ring of Honor Best in the World Recap
In an effort to become a more well rounded wrestling fan I started watching Ring of Honor a few months ago, and when I found out they were holding a pay per view event within driving distance I figured why not take a look at how their bigger shows play. To be honest I was … Continue reading Ring of Honor Best in the World Recap
Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
Takeover Chicago Three great, match of the year candidates. The opener for the tag titles is the best tag team match I've seen this year. Orney Lorcan and Danny Burch were made, winning over and earning the respect of a crowd that was cheering the more well known heels the Undisputed Era. Ricochet and Velveteen … Continue reading Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
Retro Recap – King of the Ring 1998
We're coming up on the 20th anniversary of King of the Ring 98, so I thought I'd take a look at it. It's important in the annals of history almost entirely because of the bumps Mick Foley (performing on this show as Mankind) took during the Hell in a Cell match he had against the … Continue reading Retro Recap – King of the Ring 1998
TV Review – Cobra Kai Season One
I'll admit that when Cobra Kai was announced I was beyond skeptical, I was downright opposed to it. It reeked of another cheap nostalgia trip being carried out by a couple of guys who weren't getting work anymore (Ralph Macchio and William Zabka) who were able to sucker some money guys into funding their project … Continue reading TV Review – Cobra Kai Season One
TV Review – Angel Season 1
This is out of left field considering what I normally cover here, but I took some time and checked out season 1 of Angel on Hulu. While I've seen pretty much every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer there is, I missed most of Angel and had been wanting to catch up for a while. … Continue reading TV Review – Angel Season 1
