CM Punk is already back on the shelfCM Punk will be missing Wrestlemania 40 after tearing his triceps during the men’s Royal Rumble match....

Behold: My list of most memorable wrestling matches from 2023The best time of year, when you get to go back through all the wrestling you watched and definitely not think your life has a sum total of jack and sh*t. Better to focus on trying to get back to the feeling that these matches generated inside of you when you were watching live, because that’s the wh...

Vince McMahon is in charge again, in case you couldn’t tellThe first hour of this week’s Raw was commercial-free and contained two minutes of actual wrestling. Brock Lesnar appeared in both the opening and closing segments, opposing Roman Reigns (if only for a moment in the end), culminating in a nonsensical heel turn.
