Mustard!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E7

Okay, here is the episode I keep hearing so much about, so let’s get into it. “Once More With Feeling” kicks off with an old-timey opening credits with the characters faces transposed over an image of the moon while their actor names are in a red, sitcom-y font next to them. The song that plays is even a jingly bastardization of the typical Nerf Herder … Continue reading Mustard!: A BTVS Retrospective, S6 E7

Ranking The Rumbles: 2024

WOMEN’S ROYAL RUMBLE -Pat McAfee comes out to start the show as special guest commentator for the evening. Michael Cole is very excited, and Corey Graves is pissy about this development. They did this better last year, but they actually explain that by saying Cole knew in advance that Pat was coming out this time. -Naomi is right into the match at #2 giving us … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2024

Ranking The Rumbles: 2023

It’s Stew’s time to shine! Every year for the past… I dunno… many (?), I have watched the Royal Rumble match[es], reviewed the Royal Rumbles, and ranked them all in order of my own preference. And now it’s time for the 2023 editions. We’re going to be breaking down the matches, figuring out where the new editions fit in the all-time rankings and then talking … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2023

Ranking The Rumbles: 2022

2022: THE MYSTIQUE DISSOLVES EARLY I’m writing this in the aftermath of the event, and I’m still working out my feelings, so BEAR WITH ME and let’s get right into it! WOMEN’S ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH -You’re probably wondering what the asterisks are for! Well, those are for the SEVEN entrants that were just returning old timers (“legends”) who were all IMMEDIATELY eliminated from the match. … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2022

Ranking The Rumbles: 2021

It’s been a year, but we are back for another entry in my Ranking The Rumbles series! We are going to do things a little differently this year. I’ll be actually talking about the whole of the 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view, though I will be focusing most of my attention on the two separate Rumble matches proper. Before tonight, we’ve had 36 Royal Rumble matches–that includes … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2021

Ranking The Rumbles: 2020

2020: DIFFERENCE OF OPINION It’s been a good run of Rumbles lately! 2019 gave us a fantastic Women’s iteration of the match. I gave the 2018 men’s Rumble a solid 7/10. Even the kind of “meh” 2017 and 2016 Rumbles, I graded out as ever-so-slightly above average. How long do you think a run like that can last? I’ll admit, I’ve been reading reviews online … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: 2020

Ranking The Rumbles: The Greatest Royal Rumble

Like a slumbering kraken, I have been awakened and re-emerged to the wrestling side of 411mania from the TV/Movies department and my podcast because I have heard tale of a Royal Rumble that occurred in a far off land (that’s what… that’s what Krakens do, yes?). I gave approximately two seconds worth of thought to “Well… does this Royal Rumble count towards the Reviews” before deciding that … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles: The Greatest Royal Rumble

AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #15

The Mine Shaft part 4 (finale) She franticly began dabbing the blood coming from his nose while his body shook. The tissue didn’t last long and the blood kept coming. It was obvious he took too much and at his age, it wasn’t going to end well. “Shit, this is bad,” she got up from the bed, “Sorry, but we gotta call someone, hun.” She … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #15
