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.

A night at MSG for WWE Smackdown
I had the pleasure of hitting up the Super Smackdown at Madison Square Garden on September 10. It was my first time heading to MSG, and it was great.

Dreaming in Reality
As with the Royal Rumble I felt it was best to turn things over to a Black woman to discuss the significance, and Tonya graciously agreed to do that again. She's the author of this piece. Find her at @TheWitchMilitia on Twitter. I sat down to watch Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 this past Saturday … Continue reading Dreaming in Reality
Of course Bianca is Ready
I'm gonna skip the big intro and get to the point here...If you're seriously going to deliberate over whether someone is ready to be a major wrestling champion there are only two questions to ask: One, has their character shown the necessary ability to beat the current titleholder and any challengers that may come afterwards? … Continue reading Of course Bianca is Ready
