The Death of WCW: Who Really Killed Them?
There’s a new series on YouTube produced by the people who made the Dark Side of the Ring, talking about the death of WCW. Part of it revolves around the question, who? Listening to one of the Jim Cornette podcasts, I overheard Brian Last actually a different but possibly more pertinent question, “What killed WCW?”…

WWE: Vince McMahon is Gone
It took me a few days to digest the news of Vince McMahon being truly gone this time around from the WWE. The initial announcement of him retiring a few years ago prior to the TKO/Endeavor deal/merger felt more shocking than this one. But my quote for the situation that occurred in recent days over…

AEW Dynamite Grand Slam 9/21/2022 Review
Once again, AEW arrived at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens New York. Recently, after the CM Punk incident, I’ve been reluctant to perform any reviews on AEW’s shows as I’ve felt that they’ve mostly been subpar and my interest has gradually tanked. That said, I did think this was a show worth writing about…

AEW Post All-Out Drama With CM Punk, The Bucks and Kenny Omega
Sadly, by all accounts, this situation is turning a lot more real than I had originally imagined. Reports are saying that a bad fight happened when the Bucks stormed into Punk’s locker room and the two engaged in a brawl with Punk hitting one of the Bucks (Matt Jackson I believe) and Ace Steel throwing…
