This one is short and sweet. One of the biggest complaints you see on social media about Roman Reigns is that no one cares about him, and thus he's being shoved down our throats. And this complaint has been largely immune to counter arguments because even when you try to state some facts like views … Continue reading Running the Numbers on Roman Reigns
Retro Recap – WrestleMania 18
WrestleMania 18 was in the middle of a hangover of sorts for the WWE. The Invasion angle was over, having limped to the finished line after a rousing start, and now the roster was somewhat of a mess with people who'd been around for a while, holdovers from the WCW/ECW alliance, and a few additions … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 18
The myth and folly of ‘Getting Yourself Over’
So the big story at the end of this week is whether or not Rusev may be leaving the WWE. In just a matter of days he went from being advertised for a casket match in Saudi Arabia against the Undertaker to being removed from that match and replaced with Chris Jericho. In between those … Continue reading The myth and folly of ‘Getting Yourself Over’
Support your female wrestling fans
The day before I started on this piece there was a hashtag on twitter #finewomenwholikewwe in which several of our sister wrestling fans posted pictures of themselves to demonstrate that yes, women do like wrestling out there. Now I didn't comment or respond because I didn't want to come off like creepy guy but I'll … Continue reading Support your female wrestling fans
What to do about Roman Reigns?
It took a lot of searching for me to figure out what I wanted to say here after WrestleMania 34 ended. I was thinking 'this is a really great show we got here' right up until the Main Event. Some of the decisions caught me off guard. I was surprised at Asuka tapping out to … Continue reading What to do about Roman Reigns?
Retro Recap – WrestleMania 9
WrestleMania 9 was at a time of major flux for the WWF and the wrestling business, and not in a good way. If anything it was a sign of just how quickly things can change. When WrestleMania 8 ended the WWF roster was the most loaded it had ever been, but now.....yikes. Ric Flair, Ultimate … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 9
Awesome Con 2018
As always I hit up Awesome Con every year when they come to DC, buy some stuff, and take some cosplay pictures. I did not get a chance to stop by Friday and meet New Day, but I did meet Christian this year. He's really cool and took a picture with me and my son. … Continue reading Awesome Con 2018
WWE Road to WrestleMania 2018
As was the case last year, the Road to WrestleMania tour came through locally here so I took in the show. With two weeks left until the biggest show of the year I didn't expect anything earth shattering but went in hoping for a good, entertaining show which we did indeed get. I've seen most … Continue reading WWE Road to WrestleMania 2018
A Night at Maryland Championship Wrestling
This past weekend I had the opportunity to take in an indie wrestling show for the first time ever. Indie wrestling is at an all time high right now, and for all intents and purposes has replaced the old territory system as a place for guys and gals to come and go from place to … Continue reading A Night at Maryland Championship Wrestling
Retro Recap – WrestleMania 12
WrestleMania 12 took place a few months before Hulk Hogan and WCW would shake up the wrestling business with the heel turn heard around the world. It was a real interesting time in that some major roster changes were about to take place that would have totally spoiled if they were to happen today. Scott … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 12
