It's that time of the year, guys. Usually sometime in May the WWE releases some people. When I got back in during 2012 they were in the middle of winding down the first brand split and didn't need as many people. That continued on for the next couple of years but then in 2016 the … Continue reading WWE Releases
NXT Live 2019 Recap
NXT was back in town so I figured I'd check them out again after last year's show. This time Undisputed Era was in town unlike last year, along with new additions to NXT in Matt Riddle, Keith Lee, and Kushida. Here's how things went down: The Street Profits vs The Outliers The Street Profits are … Continue reading NXT Live 2019 Recap
Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
Takeover Chicago Three great, match of the year candidates. The opener for the tag titles is the best tag team match I've seen this year. Orney Lorcan and Danny Burch were made, winning over and earning the respect of a crowd that was cheering the more well known heels the Undisputed Era. Ricochet and Velveteen … Continue reading Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts

I got to check out the NXT Live show this weekend. Here's what I saw: Before the show we get a 10 bell salute for Brino Sammartino. Nice touch. Then we get the National Anthem and on to the matches.

A Night at Maryland Championship Wrestling
This past weekend I had the opportunity to take in an indie wrestling show for the first time ever. Indie wrestling is at an all time high right now, and for all intents and purposes has replaced the old territory system as a place for guys and gals to come and go from place to … Continue reading A Night at Maryland Championship Wrestling
Royal Rumble Weekend Thoughts
First up, NXT Takeover. Here are my takeaways: Adam Cole and Aleister Black are crazy. Johnny Gargano is really good. Adranae Cien Almas isn't bad either. OK, a little more than that. The NXT Women's Title match went down a little different than I expected. It was a decent enough match, with a pretty clever … Continue reading Royal Rumble Weekend Thoughts
NXT Takeover Recap
NXT put on another good show last night from Toronto. Here's what I thought of it all. Bobby Roode vs Ty Dellinger Good opener. There was some storyline buildup over the last few weeks with Roode dumping Dellinger in the middle of their match in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Tournament. Roode's entrance in Brooklyn … Continue reading NXT Takeover Recap
NXT Takeover: Dallas Recap
NXT Tag Team Title Match: The Revival (Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson) vs American Alpha (Jason Jordan and Chad Gable) - Great opener. Dash and Dawson and totally in the mold of old school NWA teams like Ole and Arn Anderson or the Midnight Express, from the double team moves to the cheating tactics. Jordan … Continue reading NXT Takeover: Dallas Recap
Booking NXT vs Booking WWE
With NXT catching on so well over the last year it's not out of the ordinary to see people on social media proclaiming it's superiority over the main WWE product. I'm not here to 'well actually' that sentiment, but comparing the two are like apples and oranges. I like NXT, and when it's at … Continue reading Booking NXT vs Booking WWE
NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Recap
The prelude show to Summerslam is all done, and was an excellent outing that the main show tonight is going to have a hard time living up to. They hit most of their marks on the show and we got probably the big emotional ending of the year in the NXT Women's Title Match. There … Continue reading NXT Takeover: Brooklyn Recap
