For my Night One thoughts, click HERE! But enough of that, let’s get right into Night Two! 7:09pm: Last night we kicked the show off with Paul “Triple H” Levesque. Tonight, we get his wife. It’s weird to see her getting cheered after she spent the 2010’s being such a hateable heel. I get HHH getting cheered–he has been a hero due to his NXT … Continue reading WrestleMania 40 Sunday Review
WrestleMania! I’m excited. Are you excited? I’m excited. This is shaping up to be a pretty great ‘Mania. Who knows? By the end of it, we may be throwing up our hands at squandered opportunities, but… I doubt it. WWE does the Every-Ten-‘Manias pretty damn well. WrestleManias 10, 20, and 30 have all been pretty well received, and–notably–all have seen the show end with the … Continue reading WrestleMania 40 Saturday Review
It’s always intriguing when Hollywood gets the occasional bug up their butt to make a movie based on something I’ve long been passionate about. I mean, comic books are one thing, and cinema based on graphic novels have dominated for years now. So there’s nothing new there, but I still remember when those outing were more rare and valuable by me. The thrill of seeing … Continue reading The Iron Claw review
When my alarm went off to wake me up to watch this PLE, I was in the middle of dreaming that Spider-Man was fighting The Fiend Bray Wyatt. And losing! It was actually a pretty rad dream, but I’m already losing it all. But yeah, this is early, isn’t it? And right when I turned the show on, Kairi Sane was pinning Candace LeRae. I … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2024 Review
It’s Stew’s time to shine! Every year for the past… I dunno… many of them, I have watched the Royal Rumbles, reviewed the Royal Rumble matches, and ranked them all in order of my own preference. And now it’s time for the 2024 editions. We’re going to be breaking down the matches, figuring out where the new editions fit in the all-time rankings, and then … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles 2024
All right, no time for much preamble here because I was recording a Christmas podcast until right when this started. Let’s cover Survivor Series! 8:10pm: Kicking us off, we have the Women’s War Games match. Michael Cole notes that Becky Lynch and Bayley are starting the EVENT, but not the MATCH, because “the match doesn’t start until all women are in the ring”. That’s ticky … Continue reading Survivor Series 2023 Review
Time for another WWE Premium Live Event from across the ocean with a strange starting time, this one of 1:00pm EST. And on my birthday weekend no less. I suppose that’s actually good; it frees up my evening to do the… um… nothing. Nothing that I have planned. I have no plans. Woo? That’s fine. I’m fine. This is FINE. I have 800 things to … Continue reading WWE Crown Jewel Review
You’ll notice my timestamps are wildly inaccurate for this show; that’s because today was my niece’s third birthday, and I did not get home until after 8:30pm EST. But fear not; Peacock was a Rewind button! So I’m starting the show over and getting my thoughts together for you! No time for an intro; let’s go! 8:39pm: I’ve rewound to the beginning of Fastlane and … Continue reading Fastlane 2023 Review
I’ve just gotten home from WWE Payback, the first WWE Premium Live Event *slash* Pay-Per-View that I have attended since Extreme Rules in 20… 2017? 2018? I forget which. I just remember it was the show main evented by Seth Rollins and Dolph Ziggler in an Iron Man Match, and the fans quickly started counting down every minute on the clock even someone back stage … Continue reading WWE Payback Live Review
WWE and NXT Legend Tyler Breeze stops by the Order to discuss a very 1990’s movie: Lori Petty’s starring vehicle (pun!), Tank Girl! Also: apologies for the audio here. I had to record a new way than what I usually use, and there is an occasional… clicking noise? Not sure where that came from! I’ll test some things out for the next time I record … Continue reading Episode 75: Tank Girl
Yes, it has been a while! Not since WrestleMania, actually, have I done a single Premium Live Event review. And that is unacceptable! But to my credit, I have not had much choice. Since ‘Mania, every WWE PLE has been on non-United States soil, and has therefore taken place early-to-mid afternoon on Saturdays. Combine that with the unfortunate coincidence of my wife booking us for … Continue reading SummerSlam 2023 Review
WrestleMania 39 Night One is in the books, and it was pretty damn good overall. It had some low points (the six-woman tag, Cena/Theory, the time killing McAfee/Miz impromptu match), but those were more than measured out by the highs. So keeping the positivity in mind, here are my Top Five Favorite Things About WrestleMania 39 Night One: So what were YOUR top 5 moments … Continue reading WrestleMania 39 Night 2 Review
It’s so weird to me that Taylor Swift is far and away the most popular musical act in North America. I mean, she’s fine. She’s FINE. She has some songs I like well enough, and she has a ton of songs that I heard, thought nothing of, and then went on with my life. But she infamously has her tour going on where tickets to … Continue reading WrestleMania 39 Night One Review
In today’s main event: Stew Vs Sciatica! February has been a rough month for ya boy. I caught my first sickness I’ve had in other 3+ years with a relatively minor cold to start the month. But THEN… I cough or sneezed my back out of place, and I was laid up like the elderly man I am for a few days. Almost two weeks … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2023 Review
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
