WWE Smackdown 02/28/2025 Review
This was the last Smackdown before the Elimination Chamber for today. I have to admit that after Survivor Series 2024, the WWE has been on a downhill run. Maybe it’s the Rock returning or the fact that the road to Wrestlemania has been sluggish without a solid story going in. But compared to the previous…

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 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: Vince McMahon Jr Retires at 77 Years of Age
Anyone who grew up with the WWF(E) and had been following it for decades like myself will have been in shock at Vince McMahon’s announcement over his retirement yesterday. Quite honestly, this might be the biggest news in the pro-wrestling for at least a decade and maybe more as Vince pretty much was one of…

More WWE Talent Cuts
I know I’m late to the party on this, but there was another round of talent last week on November 4th. Some weren’t actually all that surprising and the reasoning given once again was “budget cuts.” At this point, it might be partly true but there’s more at play in some cases. Either way, I’m…

More WWE Releases Today
Yesterday, there was a rumor that hit the net about more WWE releases and today it actually happened. When I checked the names out, I wasn’t entirely surprised but decided that with my recent writings on wrestling again (the Dark Sides, AEW review, WWE’s future), I felt another blog would be great to put my…

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. The problem with the WWE’s vertical has been shrinking for some time and the COVID-19 pandemic has inflicted some hefty punishment that puts…

WWE Makes A Few Deep Cuts; Will AEW Pick The Remainder Up?
Saw that WWE made a few releases; some surprising, others not so surprising. The three that made me look twice were Samoa Joe, the Iiconics and Mickie James. I only say look twice because those were the three people I was most familiar with as I do not keep up with the product. There were…

WWE Becky Lynch’s Rise
I haven’t written about pro-wrestling in a long time. That’s because I just haven’t felt the desire. Pretty much my interest in it has been super low or casual at best. The last time something caught my attention it was the entrance of Asuka and Kairi Sane. But as a fan of joshi puroresu, I…
