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. I've been here myself for … Continue reading WWE Holiday Tour 2019
Let’s Talk about Seth Rollins
It sure has been a rough few months for Seth Rollins since he won the Universal Title at WrestleMania, as pretty much everything he's been involved in has come under a lot of scrutiny in the Twitter-sphere. Whether it's complaints about him from people who've never been that warm towards him, complaints about his booking … Continue reading Let’s Talk about Seth Rollins
WWE Heatwave 2019
I got a chance to go to the WWE Heatwave 2019 Tour in Washington DC. House shows are a great time and much easier to sit back and enjoy without some of the jerks who come to televised events. It's also fun for the wrestlers because they can just do their thing without having to … Continue reading WWE Heatwave 2019
WWE Stomping Grounds Thoughts
I did not expect to be doing a recap for this show. All the talk leading up to it was negative, that the matches were a bunch of rematches from either WrestleMania or the Super Showdown in Saudi Arabia, that the tickets weren't selling well, and that it had little buzz at all. And in … Continue reading WWE Stomping Grounds Thoughts
Believing in the Shield
Unless something changes, we're heading into the home stretch for what is in my opinion the best faction I've ever seen with the exception of the first run of the Four Horsemen. When they first debuted if you'd told me that I would be making that statement today I would have blown you off. But … Continue reading Believing in the Shield
2019 Royal Rumble/Takeover Thoughts
OK no flowery introductions, let's get right to it. The Takeover Show They know their target audience and they give them what they want. I've spoken before about how that's easier to do because of certain structural differences, but I won't rehash that here. I thought the show was very good overall, but I do … Continue reading 2019 Royal Rumble/Takeover Thoughts
2018 Year in Review
With only a few days left, I am going to attempt to do another Year in Review thing here. If you've read any of my previous attempts, sometimes I finish for every thing I talk about (books, movies, wrestling, TV) and sometimes I barely finish one category. Wrestling gets the most traffic around these parts … Continue reading 2018 Year in Review
Seriously, dude?
I really was trying to not write another piece on Roman Reigns until he came back. But the idiots out there will not let the man rest and insist on coming with their stupid hot takes to try and gin up traffic for their websites. Now I'm not above publishing stuff that I know is … Continue reading Seriously, dude?
Extreme Rules Thoughts
First the quick and easy: The pre-show stuff was good. Sin Cara showed he can still go and Andrade Cien Almas is legit if you haven't watched him before he got called up. Remember though that things like he and Zelina Vega doing the tranquillo pose together during the match are going to be as … Continue reading Extreme Rules Thoughts
Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
Takeover Chicago Three great, match of the year candidates. The opener for the tag titles is the best tag team match I've seen this year. Orney Lorcan and Danny Burch were made, winning over and earning the respect of a crowd that was cheering the more well known heels the Undisputed Era. Ricochet and Velveteen … Continue reading Money in the Bank 2018/Takeover Chicago Thoughts
