The other WWE film reviews I've done here have been fairly popular as far you guys clicking on them, my DVR was empty, and I had … Continue reading Movie Review – The Marine 4
What Secret Empire and WWE have in common
It's been a rough year or so on the internet for two titans of entertainment, WWE and Marvel comics. In both cases the temperature of a lot of takes has gone up and up while the logic of said takes has plummented.

RIP Bobby Heenan
I didn't really appreciate Heenan in my younger days as a fan, when he was an active manager. Yeah I saw that he was good at his job and was really funny with the insults but I didn't think he was better than Jim Cornette or Paul E. Dangeroulsy (Paul Heyman to all of you … Continue reading RIP Bobby Heenan
Elimination Chamber 2017 Thoughts
The night was about two people in particular: Bray Wyatt and Naomi, two people who have worked their asses off for five plus years to overcome bad first gimmicks and become champions. Their victories are a beacon of hope for everyone toiling away in developmental, or at the bottom of the main roster or even … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2017 Thoughts
Royal Rumble 2017 Recap
Pre-Show Matches The six woman tag match was pretty good, about what I expected. They got just under 10 minutes, fine for a pre-show match.

RAW – 5/23/2016
I don't normally do RAW recaps, because I don't usually watch it live and I don't have time to get proper recaps up in any kind of timely fashion. I know you guys aren't trying to wait until the weekend to read my not so hot takes on a show that aired six days earlier. … Continue reading RAW – 5/23/2016
WWE Releases – Wasted Opportunities
The WWE announced a bunch of releases today, among them King Barrett, Damien Sandow, and former WWE Diva Cameron. None of the names are particularly surprising but Barrett and Sandow are two poster children for the company missing the mark when it comes to pushing people right. Both of these guys could have reached much … Continue reading WWE Releases – Wasted Opportunities
