Time to dust off an old feature. My money’s on don’t get used to it, but this should be fun for what it is. I’ll let Matt do the explaining, glorious spelling and all. The year was 2000-and-something and I was likely drunk when Steve and I agreed we should attempt to write some sort …

For The Sake Of Finishing The Story
When last we talked wrestling, I made a Money In The Bank prediction. I’m calling it now. Cena is going to be the first person to ever cash in his shot and fail. It dawned on me just now that I never did post to let you all know how that turned out. So how …
Tonight, Doom Begins
Tonight is the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw. It’s a solid run, but congratulating WWE is not why we’re here. We’re here because tonight also marks the night that Raw goes to three hours. Every week. forever. Well, at least until somebody important realizes how monumentally stupid an idea this is and puts it …
Silas Young: Pro Wrestling’s Last Real Man
I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but there’s something about this Silas Young hype video that I just love. I seriously think it’s one of the best I’ve seen in years. In a couple of minutes, you know his name and you understand who he is and who he isn’t. You …

TNA Is Better Than WWE. No, Really
I want to take a quick second to write this down, because I can’t believe I’m saying it. Wrestling fans.

Shitcanning Vince Russo in favour of people with a clue has done …
Long Weekend Audio: The First Of Many Casts
Well…our first audio is up. We had hoped to have it up last night, but we kind of fell over after we finished recording it. The file got uploaded to the server, but hell if I was going to write the post around it. So I’m writing it this morning. Poor Steve had to start …

I Went To A Ball Game And Did Some Other Stuff
Before I say another word, I seriously just watched John Cena beat Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules. No really, that happened. Don’t ask me *why* it happened, but it happened. I guess I have to allow for the idea that this might be going somewhere and is part of a larger story, but this is …

Stream’s Down In The Sun
This is Wrestlemania weekend. If you’re the kind of fan I am, this weekend is kind of what it would be like if they played the World Series on Christmas while the Stanley Cup Finals were going on across the street. For pro wrestling, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. Of course there’s Wrestlemania, …
Vince Russo’s New Gig
When you have a track record like his, this takes either an amazing lack of self awareness or the world’s largest testicles and bottomless vats of shamelessness. BABY FACES, BLADE JOBS and BOOKING Everything you wanted to know about writing a professional wrestling show but were afraid to ask. A SEMINAR HOSTED BY VINCE RUSSO …
I’m Baaack…I Think
So yeah…I haven’t posted for nearly two weeks. Definite fail…although failing at blogging seems to be a regular occurrence for me now. I think, *knocks on wood* that I’m out of the medical woods. I feel better, and bunches of my problems appear to be vanishing. It’s funny. I’ve had this since I was a …
