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 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.

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.

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.

Summerslam 2020 Thoughts
Women's Title Matches: Asuka vs Bayley (c) and Asuka vs Sasha Banks (c) Both matches were very good to great, and they moved the storyline along in important ways.

Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
We are now two months into the empty arena era, and I gotta tell you it seems like it's been a lot longer. Maybe that's because there's no end in sight, I don't know. But while I know some of you guys just aren't feeling the empty arena thing enough to watch every week I've … Continue reading Thoughts on Money in the Bank 2020
WWE Holiday Tour 2019
I closed out 2019 with the Holiday Tour in Baltimore. The Royal Farms Arena, formerly the Baltimore Arena, is one of the great midsize building to go to for a wrestling show (AEW was just here in November for Full Gear) and there has been some real wrestling history here.
