Cody owes you nothing
Traitor! You betrayed us! You sold out! How could you! These things and more have recently been said about Cody Rhodes re: leaving AEW and going back to the WWE.

Review – Impact Wrestling Hard to Kill
This is the first pay per view of the year for Impact Wrestling, and the fourth one that I've ever ordered.

So of course twitter was lit up with a lot of people jumping from A to Z and concluding that she got released because of the … Continue reading A Wrestling Union: Is it possible?
Time to shut it down
But why they probably won't (If you'd rather listen than read I talked about this on my Rob the Genius podcast on Anchor, Spotify, and Apple podcasts). As of right now, WWE and AEW are still going to be putting on TV shows. They both taped a good bit of stuff in March and early … Continue reading Time to shut it down
Time to Go
Jim Cornette absolutely stepped in it this week when he said during the most recent episode of NWA Power that Trevor Murdoch was so tough he could ride through Ethiopia with a bucket of fried chicken..........yeahhhhh, that's no good.
