Ok, I told myself I was done writing about this subject, that I'd said all that I ever had to say and that anyone who wanted to see what I thought could just read the things I'd already written here and in other places. I said to myself that there were other people doing that … Continue reading Revisiting the Past
Retro Recap – Hell in a Cell 2012
I figured that with Hell in a Cell on the way in a few days it was time for a Retro Recap of one of the previous offerings of this event.

The Undertaker had been absent for months, … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 27

CM Punk needs to shut up (again)
CM Punk did an interview with Sports Illustrated, that you can read in it's entirety here. Punk is always interesting to listen to, but the more he talks the more I get irritated with him. The rebel without a cause act wears real thin after a while, and the more he talks the more he … Continue reading CM Punk needs to shut up (again)
