  • WWE Raw 02/25/2025 Review

    Since I’m starting to watch these more consistently, I figure I might as well add my thoughts to these shows when I have the chance. In a few cases, Raw has something that occurs where it provokes my noodle (not THAT noodle) and with my motivation starting to increase lately along with the fact that…

  • WWE: Complaints about Women’s Usage

    I read an article over from reddit that was linked to a quote from Fightful Select. The topic was on women’s wrestling, how the main rosters (not NXT) lack story lines and time, etc. and the general frustrations in those divisions. I have very mixed feelings on the subject but considering what I wrote recently…

  • WWE Smackdown 02/21/2025 Review

    This week has been a struggle for me. Originally, I wanted to do a write up for the Raw episode but ended up not having the energy to come up with anything. In the end, I figured there wasn’t much to really motivate me into writing up a reasonable summary of that show. With that…

  • WWE Smackdown 02-15-2025 Review

    It’s been a while since I’ve reviewed any wrestling TV show but I’m starting to watch Raw and Smackdown again as well as the occasional PPV. While all of the TV shown isn’t compelling from week-to-week, I figure it might be time to go through the show and look at the important parts and touch…

  • WWE: Looking to the Future for 2025 After the Royal Rumble

    I know people are mad at Jey Uso winning (and Charlotte too) but I recently ran a few scenarios for the next few months, possibly even up until next year’s Wrestlemania of various story lines that might evolve based on the outcome of the Royal Rumble 2025 as well as developments on TV. Now, I’m…

  • WWE Royal Rumble 2025 Thoughts

    While I still consider myself a fairly casual pro-wrestling fan these days, I’ll periodically check out the bigger events and some shows when I have the chance. Since the WWE has done a better job in the recent year of attracting my interest in wrestling again (after my general disdain for AEW grew to the…

  • Is Wrestling as Popular as It Was 50 Years Ago?

    I saw an interesting question on a reddit forum where someone posed whether or not pro-wrestling is as popular to 50 years prior. It felt like one of those AI prompt questions but I think it’s an interesting one to delve into because of the various lenses one needs to examine the current state vs…

  • WWE: Penta’s Debut Match on Raw Against Chad Gable

    There was some serious hype going on for Penta’s debut match on Raw this past Monday. To be frank, I didn’t quite care for him when I did see him so my expectations was exceedingly low. The last time I saw Penta I recall poor Dante Martin’s ankle getting mangled from a stupid power bomb…

  • The Road to Wrestlemania and WWE’s Current State

    I haven’t talked much about pro-wrestling recently but with both the Royal Rumble 2025 and Wrestlemania coming up, I figured it might be a good time to review some of the big things going on. Namely, the big title(s) scene and certain key people whether they’re involved in that scene or as part of the…

  • WWE Survivor Series 2024 Partial Review

    I decided to write up a partial review just on the two War Games matches themselves. I really didn’t care for the other matches enough to want to sit down and watch them, although I did read that Nakamura beat poor LA Knight for the US Title. I might talk about that later but I…
