2021 NY 50
So it's that time of year again where me and some friends on the internet submit ballots for the NY 50, our top 50 WWE performers for the year. This is my fourth one and in previous years my winners were Charlotte Flair (2018), Kofi Kingston (2019), and Drew McIntyre (2020), and in this year's … Continue reading 2021 NY 50
Survivor Series 2021
H/t to BT sports for the cover photo Survivor Series was the final pay per view of 2021, and the fifth in the brand supremacy version of the event. It was also a celebration of the Rock's debut 25 years ago, but one without him on the premises. He wasn't advertised for the show but … Continue reading Survivor Series 2021
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

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. It was easily the best episode of Smackdown in some time and without a doubt since fans have returned. I got some pictures from the night, … Continue reading A night at MSG for WWE Smackdown
Summerslam 2021 Thoughts
Summerslam is normally the second biggest show of the year in WWE but in 2021 given the circumstances it may be the biggest one. A Full capacity crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas makes a big difference, among other things, but there was also the expectation of some big returns as well, particularly with … Continue reading Summerslam 2021 Thoughts
Wrestlemania 37 Rundown
I got a bunch of stuff on WrestleMania 37, and here is a quick rundown of what I thought of the card across the board. There's a lot to unpack, and to be honest I don't have super deep thoughts on every part of the show so some of this is going to be brief. … Continue reading Wrestlemania 37 Rundown
WrestleMania 37 Deeper Thoughts
https://twitter.com/Kazeem/status/1382386427523129350?s=19 Indeed it was, and not because of the number of participants but because of the roles they were given, from headliners to defending champions to rising stars to young prospects to wily veterans here to help said young prospects. There was a level of trust to Black wrestlers at this show, for the ring … Continue reading WrestleMania 37 Deeper Thoughts
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
