2021 is coming to a close and everybody likes to do those Best of the Year lists, and as I am prone to do I was overthinking mine. So instead of trying to make some academic case as to why this wrestler, this match, etc was objectively in the top five or whatever I figured … Continue reading Favorites of 2021 – Wrestling
Extreme Rules 2021 Thoughts
I had not planned on writing about this. Going in this screamed B level pay per view to get us to the draft, and only of the title matches was not a foregone conclusion going in. And yet here I am because it turned out to be much more than that. Liv Morgan vs Carmella … Continue reading Extreme Rules 2021 Thoughts
Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
We are now two months into the empty arena era, and I gotta tell you it seems like it's been a lot longer. Maybe that's because there's no end in sight, I don't know. But while I know some of you guys just aren't feeling the empty arena thing enough to watch every week I've … Continue reading Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
WWE Holiday Tour 2019
I closed out 2019 with the Holiday Tour in Baltimore. The Royal Farms Arena, formerly the Baltimore Arena, is one of the great midsize building to go to for a wrestling show (AEW was just here in November for Full Gear) and there has been some real wrestling history here. I've been here myself for … Continue reading WWE Holiday Tour 2019
WWE Heatwave 2019
I got a chance to go to the WWE Heatwave 2019 Tour in Washington DC. House shows are a great time and much easier to sit back and enjoy without some of the jerks who come to televised events. It's also fun for the wrestlers because they can just do their thing without having to … Continue reading WWE Heatwave 2019
Superstar Shakeup 2019 Ideas
The next Superstar Shakeup is planned for mid-April, so I figured I'd play around with things a bit here. The last one I did is still getting hits, so since I haven't done it in a while this seems like a good time to give it another go. Before I get started, I'm making a … Continue reading Superstar Shakeup 2019 Ideas
2018 Year in Review
With only a few days left, I am going to attempt to do another Year in Review thing here. If you've read any of my previous attempts, sometimes I finish for every thing I talk about (books, movies, wrestling, TV) and sometimes I barely finish one category. Wrestling gets the most traffic around these parts … Continue reading 2018 Year in Review
TLC 2018 Thoughts
First, the quick and easy stuff: The pre-show matches were fine. The Cruiserweight Title Match between Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander was good while the Guitar Match between Elias and Bobby Lashley did what it needed to do. The Cruiserweight division has been good most of the year and it's good to hear people chanting … Continue reading TLC 2018 Thoughts
Reevaluating WrestleMania 34
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
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
