We are now two months into the empty arena era, and I gotta tell you it seems like it's been a lot longer. Maybe that's because there's no end in sight, I don't know. But while I know some of you guys just aren't feeling the empty arena thing enough to watch every week I've … Continue reading Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
WWE Live Fall Tour 2019 Results
A month ago the WWE Live Tour was in town so I checked it out. The Summer show I went to was a RAW show and this one was for Smackdown so we get a different cast of characters this time. Smackdown Tag Team Title Match: New Day - Big and Kofi (c) vs The … Continue reading WWE Live Fall Tour 2019 Results
Championship Options
I started this piece on MLK Day, and am finishing it a few days later, but I hope it will carry some significance beyond that and Black History Month as there's more discussion about the history of Black people in the wrestling business, the good the bad, and the ugly. And one subject that does … Continue reading Championship Options
WWE Road to WrestleMania 2018
As was the case last year, the Road to WrestleMania tour came through locally here so I took in the show. With two weeks left until the biggest show of the year I didn't expect anything earth shattering but went in hoping for a good, entertaining show which we did indeed get. I've seen most … Continue reading WWE Road to WrestleMania 2018
Superstar Shake Up – One Week Later
There were a lot of instant reactions to the Superstar Shake Up last week.

While I hope we don't get a whole new draft (completely unnecessary in my opinion) there are some swaps and call ups that would make some sense to me, other than what we … Continue reading Roster Swapping

Clash of the Champions thoughts
Nia Jaxx vs Alicia Fox - We've reached the point with Nia Jaxx where she needs to face competitive opponents, and she got one in Alicia Fox. Fox has never been one of the more highly regarded women on the roster, but she's gotten better over time and she did her job really here. She … Continue reading Clash of the Champions thoughts
Extreme Rules Recap
Dolph Ziggler vs Baron Corbin (No DQ) - This was on the pre-show. Decent match, although they didn't use the no-DQ stipulation to the fullest. Corbin should be moving on to some other opponent now. As for Ziggler....no idea. I imagine he'll get into some program with someone that will make for good house show … Continue reading Extreme Rules Recap
