After a year of reverting back to having two January Premium Live Events, things reverted back to the norm of the Royal Rumble being the first PLE of the year. Day 1 was a fun enough show last year but it ultimately proved to be unnecessary, was hurt by last minute absences, and had some … Continue reading Royal Rumble 2023 Review
Brand Warfare: A Survivor Series Retrospective
With the recent announcement that Survivor Series will now be more storyline based and include the Wargames matches as part of the show, we have reached the end of an era. Survivor Series has gone through several forms and iterations since it's inception in 1987. For the first 4 years it consisted only of the … Continue reading Brand Warfare: A Survivor Series Retrospective
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
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
Who’s Next?
The question that looms over the RAW roster every week in light what happened at WrestleMania is.....just who is gonna beat Brock Lesnar? With Roman Reigns having gotten two shots at him in a month and not winning, after a year long buildup, me and most of you seem to have no idea. And sometimes … Continue reading Who’s Next?
Roman’s Main Events

But rather that fight people on the internet over it, I have a simple question. Which WrestleMania main event would you have taken Roman out of? I'm running … Continue reading Roman’s Main Events
WWE Live Baltimore Report
I made it out to the WWE house show the night before the Royal Rumble. I've been to Smackdown house shows and a couple in 2015 before the brand split, but this is my first RAW only house show (I went to Extreme Rules last year which was a RAW only pay per view, but … Continue reading WWE Live Baltimore Report
Wrestling Top Fives of 2017
2017 is winding down, so I'm going to attempt once again to do some year in review stuff. Maybe I'll actually finish it this time. There was a lot of good stuff in the wrestling world this year, both in and out of WWE, and I didn't get to see all of it so you're … Continue reading Wrestling Top Fives of 2017
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
Thoughts on Great Balls of Fire
When the name of this show was announced, we all facepalmed. Seriously? Great Balls of Fire? It was almost like Vince was trying to see just how loony he could get and how we'd react. But then the buildup came, and things didn't look so crazy. And as the card took it's final shape, it … Continue reading Thoughts on Great Balls of Fire
