Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
There was a lot of good in wrestling this year. Impact has gotten much better, to the point that I actually look forward to it most weeks. 205 Live isn’t dirt useless anymore. NXT is still busy being NXT, which you’ll never hear me complaining about. There’s a British NXT now which looks pretty good, …

I remember once saying to somebody during a wrestling conversation that part of the problem with WWE is that they seem to overthink so much that they end up underthinking. So much effort is put into making sure that everyone talks and acts the same and that everything sticks to the same patterns visually and …

I’m going to resist the urge to tweet about this show and use this here text file instead. Let’s see what I end up with. Why was the Cruiserweight title match on the preshow instead of the Mixed Match Challenge finals? I know the MMC match technically has Royal Rumble implications, but let’s be serious. …
John Pollock of PostWrestling.com has done a very good story about the life of the Dynamite Kid. It’s hard to write about a life and career like his since Tom Billington was equal parts one of the most influential wrestlers of all time and complete fucking prick, but I think this is about as good …
Why does nothing ever happen when somebody’s music starts playing in the middle of a wrestling match? I know they’ve been doing it forever especially in WWE, but it’s never made any sense. Shouldn’t it result in the opponent of the person being distracted getting disqualified? Why hasn’t the production guy who keeps doing it …
Xavier Woods had a few unkind things to say about wrestling fans in a recent interview. “When people talk about the difference between the organizations – not even organizations – between like NXT and the main roster. So when they say like, ‘Oh man, TakeOver killed it. SummerSlam, this is gonna suck.’” Woods said, “It’s …
I’m not sure why I just opened this file and started writing. I don’t really have much to say, I don’t think. Mostly this is just an excuse to get the word Seppa-tebby-tebby up here somewhere. Seppa-tebby-tebby is September, at least according to my 2-year-old nephew who said it a couple months ago while I …
There haven’t been as many So Long posts lately as there used to be, and that’s intentional. To be quite honest, I don’t particularly enjoy writing them. Some folks, even when you appreciate whatever it was they did, just don’t inspire a whole lot of words or draw out much in the way of specific …

I’m not sure how common these sorts of prank calls still are on American radio, but here in Canada, at least anywhere I’ve had a chance to listen, they pretty much don’t exist anymore. I don’t know if it’s some sort of legal thing or down simply to the fact that most radio is uninspired …

For some reason I have things to say about wrestling, so I shall say them now. As usual, inspiration comes from one of these. Daniel Bryan losing to Rusev on Smackdown was the wrong call. I have no idea why this is a thing, but yes, people are honest to Christ losing their shit about …
