No Mercy is all done. Instead of a full recap I'm just gonna hit a few points. Women's Title Match I'm of two minds about this. On the one hand they only got nine and half minutes. On the other hand that was longer than the main event and as long as several other matches. … Continue reading No Mercy Thoughts
What Secret Empire and WWE have in common

Roman Reigns is the guy – get over it
So here we are coming off of Summerslam and heading into No Mercy, and the Roman Reigns haters couldn't go without finding some angle to complain about him. Roman did the job in the main event, clean, and that wasn't enough for some people. They just didn't want him there at all, for the same … Continue reading Roman Reigns is the guy – get over it
Thoughts on Great Balls of Fire
When the name of this show was announced, we all facepalmed. Seriously? Great Balls of Fire? It was almost like Vince was trying to see just how loony he could get and how we'd react.

Extreme Rules 2017 Recap
I was in the building for this one; Baltimore has been a good wrestling town for as long as I can remember and they/we didn't disappoint this time either.

WrestleMania 33 Recap
Pre-Show The cruiserweight title match was really good; the good thing about them going on the preshow is that they got 15 minutes instead of 10, and the finish allows for a rematch. Battle Royals are always ok at best; the Gronk run-in was fine as a sports entertainment moment. Mojo Rawley winning it.....I would … Continue reading WrestleMania 33 Recap
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. Everyone got some licks in and it looks like we're going to get some kind of program with Naomi and Smackdown Women's Champ Alexa Bliss going forward based on the … Continue reading Royal Rumble 2017 Recap
Roster Swapping
Who should switch shows later this year? As 2017 unfolds the rosters are going to get shuffled a bit on both shows. 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
