Before we get going, I offer my sincerest halfhearted apologies for things around here being so slow lately. Not only have Carin and I been making up for the last year sucking so badly by trying to make something good out of this one, but to be honest, nobody comes here this time of year …

Goodbye, Rowdy Roddy Piper
WWE Rowdy Roddy Piper tribute. Somehow it’s been nearly 2 weeks already, but I’m still having trouble believing that Rowdy Roddy Piper is really gone. Man, what a shitty couple of months this has been for wrestling and my childhood. When I first started watching, I had 2 favourite wrestlers. One of them was Hulk …

WWE’s 30 Worst Pay-Per-Views
WWE has been doing pay-per-view events for 30 years. That makes me feel very old. And unless I’m forgetting something, I’ve seen every one of those pay-per-views at least once. That makes me feel very…um…something. For the better part of the last 2 decades, they’ve been pumping them out at a rate of at least …

Verne Gagne’s WWE Hall of Fame video. Verne Gagne, who I think it’s safe to say is near the top of the list of most important people in wrestling history not named McMahon, died Monday at the age of 89. Not only was he a legendary college, Olympic and pro wrestler himself becoming one of …
