WWE’s beat the clock challenges are almost always kind of dumb. Who wants to watch a match that randomly ends with no resolution when somebody fails to beat the time? It’s just terrible, unentertaining television. What incentive is there for the opponent A.K.A. the one who isn’t being challenged to beat the clock to participate? …

A Complete Guide To Just How Awful Crown Jewel Was
Induction: WWE Crown Jewel – The 2018 Gooker Award Winner This right here is a goddamn work of art, by which I mean that it was written by a guy named Art. It’s also an amazing piece of writing, so good it makes me jealous. I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s a …

Wrestling Notepad
Nice to see all these NXT guys on Raw I guess, but WWE doesn’t have a clue what to do with three quarters of the people on the main roster as it is so I’m not sure just bringing a bunch of dudes up for no reason and with seemingly no purpose is the best …
Canada’s Greatest Cook
I had a fun few minutes just now watching this 1978 video of Gene Kiniski intimidating Peter Gzowski, giving us the secret of how to cook perfect pork sausages and telling a story about some crazy fans trying to set him on fire.
A Rather Uneventful Wrestling Notepad To Match The Road To Wrestlemania So Far
“You, me and everyone else here knows I have the ability to kill you with my bare hands without breaking a sweat, and the only thing stopping me is my decision not to.” I don’t know who wrote a line that good, but I bet you honest to god cash money it wasn’t one of …

Well, Suppose I Can Forget About That
Looks like I won’t be getting the Hideo Itami vs. Buddy Murphy match I was hoping for. Hideo Itami has asked for his WWE release. In weeks following Mike and Maria Kanellis, The Revival, and Dean Ambrose all informing WWE of their desires to leave the company, FightfulWrestling.com has learned that Hideo Itami asked for …
I Say Nice Things About WWE And Immediately Regret Them. It’s The Wrestling Notepad
Buddy Murphy and Humberto Carrillo had a pretty good match on 205 Live. I especially like that the old fake an injury spot didn’t lead directly to the finish like it usually does. It makes sense that it wouldn’t since Carrillo comes from a wrestling family and the announcers mentioned it, but sometimes attention to …
Return Of The Wrestling Notepad
So with the McMahons running both Raw and Smackdown together now, where does that leave the brand split? If the same people are in charge of everything it seems a little weird to keep it separated. But still, I hope they do. It may not make perfect sense, but I’d prefer that to watching the …
Wrestling Notepad
A few random thoughts as I catch up on some shows I’m behind on. I’m trying to get back into the habit of leaving a Notepad file open and writing down whatever pops into my head in it the way I’d gotten sucked into doing on Twitter and then putting it up here when it …
A Miserable Day For Childhood Steve
2019 seems to be getting off to a rather 2016-like start on the celebrity death front. Mean Gene Okerlund and Super Dave Osborne both died today. Both were 76 and awesome in their own ways. Mean Gene is the best wrestling interviewer I’ve ever seen. He had a way of making bad promos decent and …
