I had a free weekend so I made the two hour drive to good old Reading, PA to check out the WWE's post-WrestleMania tour. The company has renamed their Saturday house shows after the old Saturday Night's Main Event TV show, thus the name of this one. This was also a do over of sorts … Continue reading WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
Who should dethrone Roman Reigns?
This question has become a bit of a thing lately, to the point of being asked almost every day on Twitter it seems. And it's wild to see because four years ago, after the debacle that was the WrestleMania 34 main event, I was in this space asking "What to do about Roman Reigns?" The … Continue reading Who should dethrone Roman Reigns?
2021 NY 50
So it's that time of year again where me and some friends on the internet submit ballots for the NY 50, our top 50 WWE performers for the year. This is my fourth one and in previous years my winners were Charlotte Flair (2018), Kofi Kingston (2019), and Drew McIntyre (2020), and in this year's … Continue reading 2021 NY 50
Royal Rumble 2022 Thoughts
For the first time in years the Royal Rumble was not the first WWE pay per view; oops, I mean premium live event, of the year. Day 1 kicked things off in 2021 but as is always the case the Rumble is what starts us on our road to WrestleMania. This year featured the return … Continue reading Royal Rumble 2022 Thoughts
Favorites of 2021 – Wrestling
2021 is coming to a close and everybody likes to do those Best of the Year lists, and as I am prone to do I was overthinking mine. So instead of trying to make some academic case as to why this wrestler, this match, etc was objectively in the top five or whatever I figured … Continue reading Favorites of 2021 – Wrestling
Survivor Series 2021
H/t to BT sports for the cover photo Survivor Series was the final pay per view of 2021, and the fifth in the brand supremacy version of the event. It was also a celebration of the Rock's debut 25 years ago, but one without him on the premises. He wasn't advertised for the show but … Continue reading Survivor Series 2021
Extreme Rules 2021 Thoughts
I had not planned on writing about this. Going in this screamed B level pay per view to get us to the draft, and only of the title matches was not a foregone conclusion going in. And yet here I am because it turned out to be much more than that. Liv Morgan vs Carmella … Continue reading Extreme Rules 2021 Thoughts
A night at MSG for WWE Smackdown
I had the pleasure of hitting up the Super Smackdown at Madison Square Garden on September 10. It was my first time heading to MSG, and it was great. It was easily the best episode of Smackdown in some time and without a doubt since fans have returned. I got some pictures from the night, … Continue reading A night at MSG for WWE Smackdown
Roman ‘One Year’ Reigns
Fewer things are more frustrating as a WWE fan as it is when you have a favorite who is hanging around and even occasionally winning one the big titles only for Vince to hedge his bets by either having them lose the big match when they should win, or having them lose the title without … Continue reading Roman ‘One Year’ Reigns
Summerslam 2021 Thoughts
Summerslam is normally the second biggest show of the year in WWE but in 2021 given the circumstances it may be the biggest one. A Full capacity crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas makes a big difference, among other things, but there was also the expectation of some big returns as well, particularly with … Continue reading Summerslam 2021 Thoughts
