WrestleMania 27 marked a crossroads of sorts for the company. We were nine years into the first brand split, and there had been an exodus of some pretty big names: Shawn Michaels to retirement, Batista to MMA (and eventually Hollywood), and Chris Jericho (back to the music business). The Undertaker had been absent for … Continue reading Retro Recap – WrestleMania 27
WWE Fairfax 2017
I hit the Road to WrestleMania tour last night in Fairfax. Great show start to finish. Here's what went down. Opener: Heath Slater, Rhyno, and Mojo Rawley vs Curt Hawkins and Breezango Nice 'He's got kids!' chant going for Slater whenever he was in the ring. Mojo is a local guy and always gets a … Continue reading WWE Fairfax 2017
Elimination Chamber 2017 Thoughts
The night was about two people in particular: Bray Wyatt and Naomi, two people who have worked their asses off for five plus years to overcome bad first gimmicks and become champions. Their victories are a beacon of hope for everyone toiling away in developmental, or at the bottom of the main roster or even … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2017 Thoughts
Royal Rumble 2017 Recap
Pre-Show Matches The six woman tag match was pretty good, about what I expected. They got just under 10 minutes, fine for a pre-show match.

Backlash Recap
Backlash is in the books, and the phrase 'Less is More' perfectly applies here. This was a very good rebound to last month's overstuffed, two clever for its own good Summerslam show that left damn near everyone with a bad taste in their mouths as it ended. We got seven matches in total counting the … Continue reading Backlash Recap

WWE RAW Report
OK, this is a rare Monday Night RAW report. I usually don't do them because I don't get around to watching the show until later in the week when you guys have read all the RAW reports/recaps you'll need for the week. But I went to the show last night so I saw it live … Continue reading WWE RAW Report
#Summerslam Recap
The show is all over and boy did it end on a strange note. The main event honestly deserves it's own piece, which I'll have up next. As for the rest of the show here's what I think: Sheamus vs Randy Orton Good opener. Sheamus wins clean to even things up from Battleground when Orton … Continue reading #Summerslam Recap
