  • Dark Side of the Ring: Nick Gage Review

    After hearing Jim Cornette rant about garbage wrestling, I wasn’t too keen on this episode. Matter of fact, I never heard of Nick Gage up until this episode, which had it more a novelty than something I was passionately interested in (compared to say the Benoit, Hart or Pillman ones). That said, garbage/hardcore style wrestling…

  • Dark Side of the Ring: Brian Pillman Review/Thoughts

    It’s been a week since the 2nd part of the Brian Pillman Dark Side of the Ring premiered and while I’ve already gone through the latest round (with Nick Gage), I wanted to finally put my thoughts about the whole Brian Pillman show on a blog post.

  • The Future Of The WWE In A Post-Pandemic Digital World

    For a while now, I have concluded that the WWE has not been a pro-wrestling company for some time. Instead, I describe them as a marketing company, specializing in a specific vertical.

  • How Disallowing Remote Work In A Post-Pandemic World Will Be The Measuring Stick of Company Culture

    A friend of mine posted an Instagram story about how a manager justifying his position through the removal of remote work. Half-jokingly, I remarked about how the image reminded me of a meme of a shared manager we had in the past. Yet the post aimed to demonstrate an implied lack of empathy that middle…

  • Boom Beach: Heavy Choppers The Most Powerful Troop Type Ever?

    This week only we’re getting a special prototype troop in Heavy Choppers. Previously, Heavy Choppers were exclusive to Warships but now it’s been made available to the normal base. After my initial playthrough with them, I must admit that this troop possibly is the best troop I have yet played with in this game.

  • Lego Review: 60271 Main Square

    Since I have not done a Lego review in a long time and that I just picked up the 60271 Main Square set and built it this morning, I figured it would be good to write up my thoughts on what looks like a grand set that in reality is somewhat controversial from my viewpoint…
