Top Ten: WrestleMania Matches Ever

WrestleMania is rad. Whether you like professional wrestling or not, there’s still a national mystique around WrestleMania. It’s wrestling’s Superbowl, it’s Academy Awards. The biggest night of the wrestling calendar. And while the general wrestling viewing audience is comparatively small nowadays, there is still a curiosity about ‘Mania every year. Because so many of us grew up with it, either from the 80’s Rock N’ … Continue reading Top Ten: WrestleMania Matches Ever

Bret Hart Categories Classic: Steamboat, Batista, more

I didn’t watch Raw last night, so I don’t have much to say on it this week. Last week’s episode was ROUGH, and while I guess I’m happy for Lashley to “finally” get the big world title he always felt on the cusp of, I never really cared for the guy. He doesn’t do anything for me, and this feels like just a way to … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Classic: Steamboat, Batista, more

Elimination Chamber 2021 Thoughts

It’s the Elimination Chamber! Or, as my Mac might prefer, the Slimination Chamber. It’s the most wonderful time of the [WWE] year, guys! We had the Rumble, WrestleMania is imminent, and in between, we get one of WWE’s best gimmick pay-per-views (with only Money In The Bank challenging its second-place-to-the-Rumble status), the Elimination Chamber! (And, uh, oh yeah. Next month we get Fastlane. So there’s … Continue reading Elimination Chamber 2021 Thoughts

Bret Hart Categories Classic – Eddie Guerrero and More!

Hey, there was no spoopy activity on Raw last night! No Alexa. No furthering of The Fiend’s absence. Just wrestling and a lot of memes about Nia Jax’s hole. Matt Riddle and Keith Lee had a swell little match to set up a Triple Threat at the next PPV for Lashley’s US Title, and GOD, someone needs to get that belt off of Lashley and … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Classic – Eddie Guerrero and More!

Bret Hart Categories – Kevin Nash, The Bushwhackers, More!

It’s just been a few days, but I REALLY seem to be the minority in my opinion on the 2021 Men’s Royal Rumble match. I’m surprised to see so many people high up on it, but I can live with that. It clearly wasn’t for me. It just felt do derivative. Randy Orton leaves early due to injury just to come back very late and … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories – Kevin Nash, The Bushwhackers, More!

Bret Hart Categories Classic – DDP, Road Warriors, More!

Welcome to Alexa Bliss Watch! I mean… The Bret Hart Categories. That’s what this is supposed to be. But it has turned into the space where I kvetch about the previous night’s Raw a lot. I’m generally a pretty positive guy when it comes to WWE. I recognize that it has MANY flaws nowadays (and as long as Vince is making billion dollar deals, these … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories Classic – DDP, Road Warriors, More!

Bret Hart Categories -The Shield Edition (and more!)

So the dominant, powerful Raw Women’s Champion Asuka is pants-shittingly afraid of Alexa Bliss, as if the former were Kamala, and the latter were The Undertaker. This is why I have problems with you, WWE. I haven’t really cared for The Fiend ever since his first matches with Seth Rollins when he ignored all oppositional offense and basically made the rest of the roster look … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories -The Shield Edition (and more!)

Bret Hart Categories – Macho Man, Sting, More

WWE out here just setting everything on fire these days. One of the last times we got together to discuss Bret Hart ranking, we talked a bit about Randy Orton maybe/maybe not burning Alexa Bliss to death in the wake of his setting her mentor, The Fiend, ablaze at TLC 2020. Well on last night’s Raw, an encounter between Randy and Triple-H–a confrontation that had … Continue reading Bret Hart Categories – Macho Man, Sting, More

The Bret Hart Categories Classic, vol 2

Soooo… did anyone else catch WWE Raw last night? Specifically the ending? Because here’s how I figure a conversation must have gone down: USA Executive: Your ratings suck these days. We want more intelligent adult content. VKM: Got it! We’ll have a cliffhanger ending where Randy Orton may or may not have set a small woman on fire! And the camera will, for some reason, … Continue reading The Bret Hart Categories Classic, vol 2
