NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 15 Night 1 Predictions
I’m in a writing mood so I decided to go ahead and do my predictions for New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 15 for night one.Read More
Wrestling crowds are not the same during a pandemic. Shut up about it.
January 4 and 5 will be New Japan Pro Wrestling presenting Wrestle Kingdom 15 from the Tokyo Dome in Japan. Due to COVID restrictions, there won’t be a full Tokyo Dome or even half way of screaming wrestling crowds like there has been in years past. I shouldn’t have to write that sentence but I do because people act like this is something new for every wrestling show since March.Read More
Nobody wants to reflect on 2020
I have never felt more mentally exhausted in my life.
Starting this on January 1st, the 365th day of the year, and all I feel is worn down trying to reflect on 2020. Some of that is the rum I had last night, but that’s more my body feeling like the bean bag chair in a college dorm that not once has anyone ever considered cleaning. Okay not that gross.

(Which I’m not choosing to, which I’m going to get at.)Read More
61 Days Left of 2020
I really haven’t written anything in October despite the fact I plan to start writing every day in November. That’s a bad idea. But you know what they say. What good idea exists without a bad idea preceding it?Read More
Former WWE wrestlers are not WWE property
There is something that pro wrestling has trained us to think for the past few decades that we need to train our brains out of. Specifically, that the WWE trained us: that former WWE talent is WWE property.Read More
Ace or Jack? AEW and the handling of Hangman Page
To talk about the handling of Hangman Page in All Elite Wrestling, one must first address the misconceptions wrestling fans have today on what is or is not a babyface.Read More
The AEW Women’s Division by the numbers in July of 2020
AEW in the month of July had five episodes of Dynamite. Three of the shows were themed (Fyter Fest night one and two, Fight for the Fallen) in that time. With a lot of talk about the imbalance between the divisions (a subject I actually looked into back in 2019) I decided to look into AEW Dynamite by the numbers.Read More
