Why Wrestlemania 35 was Satisfying from Start to Finish
Looks like I will have to eat my words. Wrestlemania 35 is not only better than last year, but it’s also, probably, the most consistently entertaining Mania show since Wrestlemania XXX in New Orleans. WWE made the most of a…
NXT Takeover: New York 2019 Exceeds Expectations, Delivers Best Takeover Show Yet
NXT Takeover: New York 2019 isn’t just a great Takeover show. It’s possibly the greatest Takeover show I have seen in the last three years. That’s a tough feat to pull off, because NXT doesn’t have huge stars like Finn…
Wrestlemania 35 (Probably) Won’t Top Last Year. Here’s Why that Doesn’t Matter.
WrestleMania has come back to New York. Well it’s actually New Jersey, but you can’t blame marketing for trying to sell it as a NYC thing. Who in blue hell wants to see a Mania event in Jersey? (A lot…
Will NXT Takeover: New York 2019 be Better than WrestleMania 35?
Is NXT Takeover: New York 2019 going to be better than WrestleMania 35? Probably. With a match card this strong- and NXT’s consistency with work rate- this year’s Takeover is easily better than the Mania card. Which, in some ways,…

Five Stars: Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet, NXT Takeover Phoenix 2019
It’s hard to not expect greatness when you see Johnny Gargano in a Takeover match. The man has built a reputation out of putting amazing matches on these events, from tag team masterclasses in DIY to last year’s classic against…
Is Royal Rumble 2019 the Best Main Roster PPV in Recent Memory?
It might as well be. It had a stacked card, and there were plenty of memorable moments throughout the five hour long event (seven if you started with the preshow). However, there were some duds in their too, and given…
Why 2016 Was a Good Year for WWE
If there’s one thing that most of us can agree on, it’s that 2016 has been pretty bad. The one consolation for some of us is that wrestling has been pretty good throughout the year. The independent scene, as always,…
