Oh my god, it was just 77 degrees in my house. I am sitting here sweating my tuchas off and thinking “Am I getting sick?”, then I finally go check the A/C and remember I never turned it back on after I streamed last night. I do almost all of my streaming and podcasting in my basement which is typically the ideal area of the … Continue reading Money In The Bank 2022 Review
Who will bring about the fall of Roman’s Empire? With Roman’s reign sneaking up on two full calendar years, it is of course worth wondering if WWE has an endgame in mind. Admittedly, I have not cared much for speculating on its end for most of this title tyranny; Roman has been one of the best things in all of wrestling, regardless of company. His … Continue reading Rating Roman’s Realistic Rivals
I’m abjectly terrible at knowing when wrestling is on these days. Like sometimes? I mean to watch Dynamite every week, right? But sometimes, it will be 9:30pm on Wednesday night, and I will go, “Oh! I should… Oh. Crap”. And my lack of remembering to watch wrestling means I had NO IDEA that Hell In A Cell was on tonight until earlier today when I … Continue reading WWE Hell In A Cell 2022 Review
Happy Mother’s Day, everyone! Wait, this is weird, right? WWE has not historically had live special shows on Mother’s Day, have they? This feels new and strange to me. I didn’t even believe WrestleMania Backlash actually was tonight. I thought I would not be able to watch this show when I learned that; I was at the in-laws celebrating the holiday earlier, but it ended … Continue reading WrestleMania Backlash 2022 Review
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had one of these, but I thought it was time to start back up on this series and get some opinions flowing on the wrestlers of today and yesteryear. We are starting off with a look at some of our contemporary competitors! For those who have forgotten, the “Bret Hart Categories” are based on something The Hitman himself … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Modern: Asuka, Okada, more
Well I certainly hope Night Two lives up to what Night One gave us! I was a fan of what WWE put together on Saturday, and now I’m expecting more quality. You’ve raised expectations, Vince & Crew! Before we get into the show, I wanted to do a little self-indulgent celebrating. Saturday was not only the first of two days of WrestleMania; it was also … Continue reading WrestleMania 38 Night Two Review
I did not get a chance to review NXT Stand & Deliver this year because the timing of the day just wasn’t great for me. But I did get to watch it, so indulge me in giving some quick thoughts on that before we get into WrestleMania [38] Saturday: It’s really fun to know that even in the 2.0 era where NXT is a lot … Continue reading WrestleMania 38 Night One Review
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! Seth Rollins Vs Roman Reigns The purpose of this series has always been to rank and review the Royal Rumble matches themselves, but I did want to dedicate at least a few thoughts to … Continue reading Ranking The Rumbles 2022
I’m giving WWE another chance tonight. I mean, I’ve given WWE approximately 48 chances across my lifetime. I always end up crawling back to WWE at the end of the day. And I’m usually pretty happy after I do! I know it’s bad for me, but I just… I remember the good times, and I hope for the best. My recent souring on WWE has … Continue reading Survivor Series 2021 Review
This is a weird show. Big E just won the WWE Title to much acclaim. He’s not on the show. Finn Balor is dusting off The Demon character for the first time in years to be the next challenger to Roman Reigns. And he’s already an afterthought as WWE plows ahead towards Reigns/Brock in Saudi Arabia. UPDATE: Literally as I was typing this intro, they … Continue reading WWE Extreme Rules Review
Wait, this is strange. I don’t randomly review Raw. And when I do, I spend most of the night mesmerized by magical mirrors. I am doing a fill in job tonight, though, to help out 411Mania while Thomas is unavailable this week, so you get some special coverage from your buddy Stew! And what a night to watch! WWE (and Big E on Twitter) have … Continue reading Raw Review 9/13/2021
Is this the last NXT Takeover event? Is this the last RELEVANT NXT Takeover event? Is all the talk of an NXT makeover much ado about nothing? They agreement with Full Sail is over. Everyone’s favorite WWE exec, Nick Khan, has promised changes (and has also been hacking away at NXT’s lower and midcard rosters as if they were unsavory weeds). I guess we will … Continue reading NXT Takeover 36 Review
Trying something new tonight, so you’ll have to let me know what you think! I’ll be more-or-less LIVE REVIEWING SummerSlam tonight. That means I’ll be publishing this article right about when SummerSlam airs, and then updating it regularly throughout the show. Clearly a stolen idea from the Live Coverage articles over at 411Mania, but they love me there, so they’ll allow it (I hope!). I’m … Continue reading SummerSlam 2021 Review
Back in 2013, Daniel Bryan was perpetually vexed by Triple-H and Stephanie McMahon, the heel Authority of WWE, while trying to become world champion. This would lead to Bryan having a sustained crowd swell that would inevitably propel him to the main event of WrestleMania, wherein he would defeat Triple-H (with Stephanie in his corner) and Triple-H’s former associates to close the show standing tall … Continue reading WWE: Long-Form Storytelling… Or Amnesia?
I am still working on getting my wife to watch this one with me. We’ll see how it goes. We were supposed to go out dancing last night, but she bailed on me because she “was sick”, and I feel like she owes me a WWE pay-per-view in return. This is a show for which I am simultaneously excited AND full of dread. There are … Continue reading Money In The Bank 2021 Review
