WrestleMania 34 definitely is one of those shows that can be filed under Things That Did Not Go According to Plan. It seemed like all of us were so super hyped going in, but when it was over most of us were pretty damn deflated for a lot of different reasons. So what happened? Was … Continue reading Reevaluating WrestleMania 34
Retro Recap – Hell in a Cell 2012
I figured that with Hell in a Cell on the way in a few days it was time for a Retro Recap of one of the previous offerings of this event. It's only been around as a standalone pay per view since 2009 I believe so there's some history but not like Summerslam or WrestleMania. … Continue reading Retro Recap – Hell in a Cell 2012
What comes after All In?
All In was an unqualified success this past weekend, and everyone involved should be proud of what they accomplished. I did not see the show myself, but from all accounts I got from people I trust it was a good show and worth the price of admission. More importantly the people who supported it are … Continue reading What comes after All In?
Woman’s (Wrestling) Work
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
