Starrcade 98 was a real crossroads moment of sorts for WCW. After a year of losing ground in the TV ratings war to the WWF but still making good money otherwise, they had to decide what direction to take their biggest star of the moment, Goldberg, and what to do with the remnants of the … Continue reading Retro Recap – Starrcade 1998
Movie Review – The Marine 4
So why on Earth would I watch the fourth installment of a straight to video movie series? And why on Earth am I actually reviewing it? Well, why not? The other WWE film reviews I've done here have been fairly popular as far you guys clicking on them, my DVR was empty, and I had … Continue reading Movie Review – The Marine 4

Movie Review – Thor: Ragnarok

Retro Recap – Unforgiven 1998
Retro recap time! I got the urge to do an Attitude Era recap as way of pointing out just how not so awesome it could be at times. The Attitude Era gets way too much credit today, especially by people who like to crap on today's product. So here we are in 1998, in the … Continue reading Retro Recap – Unforgiven 1998
Ratings? What ratings?
There isn't a week that goes by without Wrestling Twitter going on about RAW's ratings and how they're in the crapper. And every now and then even some personalities like Vince Russo or random bloggers (of which I am one, of course) chiming in. If you go by what they say, you'd be pretty concerned … Continue reading Ratings? What ratings?
No Mercy Thoughts
No Mercy is all done. Instead of a full recap I'm just gonna hit a few points. Women's Title Match I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand they only got nine and half minutes. On the other hand that was longer than the main event and as long as several other matches. … Continue reading No Mercy Thoughts
Baltimore Comic Con 2017
As has been the case for the last few years I hit up Baltimore Comic Con. Of the cons I go to, Baltimore is the best one for actual comic stuff.

What Secret Empire and WWE have in common
It's been a rough year or so on the internet for two titans of entertainment, WWE and Marvel comics. In both cases the temperature of a lot of takes has gone up and up while the logic of said takes has plummented. It's at the point now where people are posting pictures of empty arenas … Continue reading What Secret Empire and WWE have in common
RIP Bobby Heenan
I didn't really appreciate Heenan in my younger days as a fan, when he was an active manager. Yeah I saw that he was good at his job and was really funny with the insults but I didn't think he was better than Jim Cornette or Paul E. Dangeroulsy (Paul Heyman to all of you … Continue reading RIP Bobby Heenan
