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…

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…

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…

WWE: The Rocky Problem
Just when you think the WWE is back on top, numerous issues rear their ugly heads. You have CM Punk returning and getting injured again, Vince McMahon’s #MeToo scandal becoming a huge issue that caused him to get kicked out permanently and the Rock returning as the possible savior by becoming a key figure in…

Wrestling Predictions for 2024
I saw this topic come up over on Reddit and decided to put some thoughts down. Although my overall interests has dwindled over the year and that I’m down to watching very short clips and perusing headlines, I still have a limited amount of interest towards pro-wrestling. Hence, why this might be a good topic…
