New Champion stands tall This week the WWE crowned their third ever Black WWE World Champion when Bobby Lashley defeated the Miz in the main event of Monday Night Raw after a week plus two hours and 45 minutes of shenanigans that the champion attempted to get out of defending his newly won title. And … Continue reading Bobby Lashley wins
What Bianca’s win means to me
The face of victory As anyone who has ever talked to me about pro wrestling knows I've been at this fan thing since 1985. Now since then Women's wrestling has had it's ups and downs, particularly in the US. And as tumultuous a time as it's had as a whole it's been less kind to … Continue reading What Bianca’s win means to me
Super Bowl thoughts
The game was ultimately a lopsided affair but it's the kind of lopsided game I like - a great defensive performance and great strategy on offense and defense from the Buccaneers. I did turn it off after the third quarter but not because I was bored. In fact, I was expecting a Chiefs comeback right … Continue reading Super Bowl thoughts
Bianca’s win for Black Women
Note: Because of the uniqueness of this event I felt it was best to get a woman's perspective so this piece is authored by a guest writer, Tonya Rodgers. You can find her on Twitter at @TheWitchMilitia. I have been a wrestling fan for as long as I can remember. As a little girl in … Continue reading Bianca’s win for Black Women
A Wrestling Union: Is it possible?
So we were hit with the shocking news that Zelina Vega was released from the WWE. That news was preceded by a tweet from her that she supported unionization. So of course twitter was lit up with a lot of people jumping from A to Z and concluding that she got released because of the … Continue reading A Wrestling Union: Is it possible?
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. I've been here myself for … Continue reading WWE Holiday Tour 2019
Time to shut it down
But why they probably won't (If you'd rather listen than read I talked about this on my Rob the Genius podcast on Anchor, Spotify, and Apple podcasts). As of right now, WWE and AEW are still going to be putting on TV shows. They both taped a good bit of stuff in March and early … Continue reading Time to shut it down
State of the WWE Women’s Division
I got inspired to do this by Becky Lynch's suggestion that the name 'Men's' and 'Women's' be taken off of the top singles titles on each brand. Personally I found the whole 'remove the distinction' thing to be a solution in search of a problem, one that doesn't really fix any of the issues or … Continue reading State of the WWE Women’s Division
The NY 50
This is a fun little exercise that I've partaken in for the second year in a row. The NY 50 is a top 50 tanking of WWE wrestlers across brands (Raw, Smackdown, NXT, 205 Live) based on ring work. All of us who are participating submit our own list and then it gets compiled into … Continue reading The NY 50
What about ACH?
It's been over a month now, and everything is still changing rapidly even as I type this out (I started this back when he first showed us the T-shirt design). My own opinion has been fluid and everchanging as well so if you're looking for me to have some definitive assessment........that's just not happening, and … Continue reading What about ACH?
