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
My wrestling fandom
My interest in the business was initiated with WrestleMania; as a fan of the A-Team and all the prospect of Mr. T teaming up with Hulk Hogan was too much to turn down. Which of course prompted my Dad (who is the reason spoiler alerts were created) to tell me 'it's fake, they're not really … Continue reading My wrestling fandom
Backlash 2018 Thoughts
As a lot of you said yesterday morning there wasn't a whole lot of buzz going into this one. I was getting vibes of Fastlane earlier this year when a lot of people were calling for doom and gloom and we got pleasantly surprised.

But then the buildup came, and things didn't look so crazy. And as the card took it's final shape, it … Continue reading Thoughts on Great Balls of Fire
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. Before I get into the show a few things: The 'Delete!' chants were huge, so much that my seven year old son picked it up real … Continue reading Extreme Rules 2017 Recap
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
