We just passed the six month mark of HHH's tenure as head of creative and head of talent relations. How's he doing? What's good, what's not so good? What's gotten better and what hasn't changed much? I thought I give a few answers of my own here. Now before we get started let me make … Continue reading HHH at Six Months
Royal Rumble 2023 Review
After a year of reverting back to having two January Premium Live Events, things reverted back to the norm of the Royal Rumble being the first PLE of the year. Day 1 was a fun enough show last year but it ultimately proved to be unnecessary, was hurt by last minute absences, and had some … Continue reading Royal Rumble 2023 Review

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
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?

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
