The weeping and gnashing of teeth over Roman Reigns winning the Elimination Chamber match and getting a fourth straight WrestleMania main event is in full effect now. 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
My Ultimate Wrestlemania Challenge Card
So I took the Ultimate Wrestlemania Challenge that a few twitter friends were kicking around. The rules were simple; come up with a card of nine to ten matches from previous WrestleMania shows, making one big event. The catch is that you can only use people once so if you pick Shawn Michaels Iron Man … Continue reading My Ultimate Wrestlemania Challenge Card
Will the WWE avoid the fall doldrums this time?
For many years fall has the time of year where the WWE product has gone to die before being reborn at the Royal Rumble. 2014 and 2015 saw the roster decimated by injuries to key players, resulting in the likes of Sheamus being put in the role of main heel last year and a really … Continue reading Will the WWE avoid the fall doldrums this time?
Retro Recap – No Way Out 2004
The February Pay Per View show is often a nothingburger, little more than a placeholder between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania. In this case things were a little different. We were over a year into the brand split, and this was a Smackdown roster only show. WWE Tag Team Title Match: Rikishi and Scotty 2 … Continue reading Retro Recap – No Way Out 2004
WrestleMania 32 Recap
OK, better late than never here's my WrestleMania report. The show was pretty long and had 11 actual matches (I'm not counting the Rock's segment), more than we've had in a while. As expected Roman Reigns walked out as the champion, much to the chagrin of a lot of people. The show also saw the … Continue reading WrestleMania 32 Recap
WrestleMania 32 Preview
The big story going into the show this year is injuries and absences. Because of various in ring injuries the company is missing John Cena, Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, and Neville. Some of those guys are rumored to be well enough to make a surprise appearance at the show but as far … Continue reading WrestleMania 32 Preview
