Jim Cornette absolutely stepped in it this week when he said during the most recent episode of NWA Power that Trevor Murdoch was so tough he could ride through Ethiopia with a bucket of fried chicken..........yeahhhhh, that's no good. It went over about as well as you may think it did, so it's no shocker … Continue reading Time to Go
Back in Time
Earlier this week a new wrestling show debuted, NWA Power, run by the oldest professional wrestling organization the NWA. For those who may not know the NWA at one time was the only kind of national wrestling body in existence; it was an alliance (the A in NWA) of regional promoters who recognized a single … Continue reading Back in Time
On Lars Sullivan and Racism at work
Do I expect WWE to fire Lars Sullivan over his racist/sexist/homophobic comments? Probably not. I have not read them all but I've seen a few, but unless there's language in the contract he signed that gives them room to do it then they're likely risking a lawsuit that they may not come out on top … Continue reading On Lars Sullivan and Racism at work
Costs and Benefits in the World of Wrestling
In case you missed it or forgot about it already, John Oliver did a pretty scathing piece on how the WWE treats it wrestlers in regards to healthcare, retirement benefits and classifying the wrestlers as independent contractors instead of employees. After further review I'm not a big fan of the piece. Why? Because while he … Continue reading Costs and Benefits in the World of Wrestling
Venom and Pre-hating on things
As of the time I'm starting this post, I have not yet seen Venom, although I do plan on seeing it eventually. I originally wanted no part of it but now my curiosity has been piqued. My reason to avoid it was the same as most other people who weren't for it all this time, … Continue reading Venom and Pre-hating on things
The Crown Jewel – what to do?
Should they have even done it? In hindsight, it sure doesn't look like it. It looks like they and a lot of other companies that were chomping at the bit to get in there and do business went for the 'we're letting women drive now!' snow job and didn't take into account the long history … Continue reading The Crown Jewel – what to do?
Thank You Bruno
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
Support your female wrestling fans
The day before I started on this piece there was a hashtag on twitter #finewomenwholikewwe in which several of our sister wrestling fans posted pictures of themselves to demonstrate that yes, women do like wrestling out there. Now I didn't comment or respond because I didn't want to come off like creepy guy but I'll … Continue reading Support your female wrestling fans
Wacky Ideas for 2018 and Beyond
The WWE found itself in an interesting place last year. The roster is as loaded as it's ever been, and the in ring action remained consistently the best it's been for a while. But some competitors really stepped their games up, particularly New Japan, so there was no advantage gained. In fact, good wrestling is … Continue reading Wacky Ideas for 2018 and Beyond
Wrestling Top Fives of 2017
2017 is winding down, so I'm going to attempt once again to do some year in review stuff. Maybe I'll actually finish it this time. There was a lot of good stuff in the wrestling world this year, both in and out of WWE, and I didn't get to see all of it so you're … Continue reading Wrestling Top Fives of 2017
