I don’t know how many people got up early Saturday or stayed up late Friday night to take in Elimination Chamber live, but I was definitely not one of them. Instead, I give you my live thoughts as I watched the event on Sunday afternoon. Because you’ve got to account a little for the lazy.Continue reading “Elimination Chamber Live (from Replay) Reactions”

NXT No Mercy Notes and a Show
Here’s a show reviewing a couple of shows. Under that are notes about one of those shows. I wrote them as I was watching a replay. I don’t edit. I’m already sorry about that.
Instant Review: WWE Backlash
A review so fast I didn’t bother to edit, so please excuse any errors, omissions or rambling. Just read this as a mostly solid stream of consciousness and it’ll make most of the sense. WWE Raw Women’s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Iyo Sky San Juan loves them some Iyo. Great athletic opening from bothContinue reading “Instant Review: WWE Backlash”
Retro Reviews: In The Summertime, We Look At ECW Heat Wave, Pt. 1
I haven’t gotten the chance to go back and look at any classic ECW shows so far, and since it’s now all hot again it seemed like the perfect time to look back at the original ECW’s premiere summertime event. At some point, I’d like to wax poetic about that Philadelphia promotion and what itContinue reading “Retro Reviews: In The Summertime, We Look At ECW Heat Wave, Pt. 1”
NXT In Your House Quick Review
We’re starting off with the six man tag and LDP are waaaaaay over in the CWC. It’s a hot opener that actually only really slowed down when D’Angelo and Escobar went one-on-one. The finish was actually really well done and complex and set up perfectly by the ref before the match started. It was quiteContinue reading “NXT In Your House Quick Review”
Retro Reviews: New Year’s Revolution
Long before Day 1, the WWE experimented with another early January pay-per-view, way back in the days of the first brand split. The result was the Raw-exculsive event New Year’s Revolution for three years during the height of the Reign of Terror on the show. So think about the your plans for the new yearContinue reading “Retro Reviews: New Year’s Revolution”
The Chronicles of the Throne – Looking Back at King of the Ring (Part 1)
As we come into a kind of a dead period in the wrestling calendar, I starting thinking about looking back at a former pay-per-view that bridged the gap between Wrestlemania and Summerslam when I was growing up: the King of the Ring. The tournament itself is much older than the pay per view. The firstContinue reading “The Chronicles of the Throne – Looking Back at King of the Ring (Part 1)”
NXT Stand and Deliver Review
Well, it was my intent to do this live on Facebook, but the tech gods had other plans. So here’s my quick thoughts on the last two nights of action. Pete Dunne vs. KUSHIDA – 3.5/5 Great opening match. Both guys got to showcase the best of their arsenals. I don’t know why KUSHIDA keepsContinue reading “NXT Stand and Deliver Review”
Royal Rumble Match Guides – Part 1
As we head into Royal Rumble season (Jerry’s favorite time on the wrestling calendar), it’s time to dive into the Network and do another search for worthwhile matches in events gone by. This week, we’re looking at the first decade of Royal Rumbles and the matches you should lock in on. For those looking forContinue reading “Royal Rumble Match Guides – Part 1”
The In Your House Chronicles: 1997
We have finally made it to the last year of In Your House shows. Just in time too, as we’re about to get locked down again any day now, so there’s plenty of time for watching wrestling. In Your House 13: Final Four – February 16, 1997 – Chattanooga, TN What came out of aContinue reading “The In Your House Chronicles: 1997”
