Review – All Out
As with last year All Out is the companion/follow up show to All In. All In 2024 had some truly magical wrestling moments and angles that would be impossible to top just two weeks later, so the goal here is to just put on a good show that doesn't kill any of the momentum from … Continue reading Review – All Out

And with it the weird discussion about how he should be handled by us and the WWE given how he … Continue reading What about Chris Benoit?
TLC 2018 Thoughts
First, the quick and easy stuff: The pre-show matches were fine. The Cruiserweight Title Match between Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander was good while the Guitar Match between Elias and Bobby Lashley did what it needed to do. The Cruiserweight division has been good most of the year and it's good to hear people chanting … Continue reading TLC 2018 Thoughts
