The news came down today that Bruno Sammartino passed away at 82 years old. If you don't know, Bruno wasn't just the first big star for what was then the World Wide Wrestling Federation, he was champion for almost eight years uninterrupted and was the prototype for what would come later with Hulk Hogan, the … Continue reading Thank You Bruno
#Summerslam Recap
The show is all over and boy did it end on a strange note. The main event honestly deserves it's own piece, which I'll have up next. As for the rest of the show here's what I think: Sheamus vs Randy Orton Good opener. Sheamus wins clean to even things up from Battleground when Orton … Continue reading #Summerslam Recap
WWE Battleground Recap
Battleground has come and gone. There weren't any title changes, but some big things did happen. The show was a match short due to Ryback's injury forcing him out of working, which both got some more time for the remaining matches and resulted in the show ending early. How did that affect the show … Continue reading WWE Battleground Recap

Retro Recap: NWA Wrestle War 89
Thanks to WWE Network, I have another Retro Recap. This one is for WCW (then still called the NWA) Wrestle War 1989.

Money the Bank Recap
Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Roman Reigns vs Neville vs Sheamus vs Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton vs Kane vs Dolph Ziggler Color me surprised here. I thought we were getting a straightforward win for the clear favorite here, Roman, or a win by Kane to lead towards the eventual fight between he and … Continue reading Money the Bank Recap
Elimination Chamber Recap
John Cena vs Kevin Owens: OMG!! Wow. Match of the Night, easily. I'm not a regular NXT viewer so I haven't had a full sampling of what Owens can do in the ring. But wow.....for a guy his size and build to pull off some the moves he used in that match. Cena held his … Continue reading Elimination Chamber Recap
