Raw Is Going Back To Two Hours Again, At Least For A While. Thank You, Lord!

I have been waiting for this day since 2012. It’s just a shame it has to start in October and not next week. Even though the shows are orders of magnitude better now that Vince is outa here, three hours a week is too much. It’s especially too much when you’re expecting people to watch …

If WWE Is Going To Do Multi-Day Big Shows, They Should Do It With The Right Ones

I don’t think we need the two night SummerSlam we’re getting in 2026. I say this as someone who, even after four years, still isn’t sure we need the two night Wrestlemanias we’re getting now. They exist purely to wring money out of the fans who watch and the cities that host them. I know …

I don’t want to complain too much about the Heritage Cup tournament. The round-robin concept is a very un-WWE-like thing to present, and I mean …

Bunches Of Bloopers And A Big Thank You

I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. Mine consisted of a family brunch and a trip to AEW Collision in London. I want to take a second to thank our friends Barb and Alex for setting us up with tickets to that second thing. Twas extremely amazing of you to do that and trust …

Several Hours Worth Of Stories About The Royal Rumble

I haven’t worked my way through all of this yet, but I’m posting it anyway since there’s no possible way that Sean Ross Sapp talking to dozens of wrestlers current and classic about their experiences in the Royal Rumble isn’t going to be at least a little bit interesting. The Rumble has been my favourite …
