NWO at 25 gives us cause to remember other great heel trios of sports
Twenty-five years ago today, the New World Order was formed at WCW’s Bash at the Beach....
The Thunderdome gave WWE this Roman Reigns, will they keep him?
For all intents and purposes, WWE exited its “Thunderdome Era” last night. The “Hell In A Cell” pay-per-view was the last one that will take place in the company’s outsized and glorified TV studio, as next month’s “Money In The Bank” will take place in Fort Worth before a live crowd. There are still...
WWE wields the axe again, but at much bigger targets, meaning what?
News of WWE releases have become regular happenings, and yet some of the most anticipated in some ways. That’s because these days, fans can dream of where their favorite, underused, and now free, performers could go to fulfill their promise and have all the creative freedom they lacked with WWE. It’...
On the 10th anniversary of his death, 10 awesome Macho Man moments
It’s impossible to do this as a “greatest” list because there were too many stand-out Macho Moments throughout the course of Randy Savage’s storied career....
Yes, WWE had zombies at Wrestlemania Backlash, and it’s probably fine
As a wrestling fan, it seems silly that there could be anything you could be told happened at a wrestling show where the reaction would be, “Oh that’s too stupid.” ...
WWE misses another chance to release the right people
I could spend hours dissecting the ways in which WWE failed the very talented people that it released yesterday. But that’s usually the story whenever the company announces a raft of releases. There’s always one or two that most fans will be in disbelief at — both for their release and the lack of u...
AEW wins the Wednesday Night Wars with WWE, if they ever really started
It’s been in the water for some time, but WWE made it official today. They’re moving NXT from Wednesdays to Tuesdays two weeks from now, just after Wrestlemania. What they didn’t announce is that they’re essentially giving up on the “Wednesday Night War” against AEW on TNT. WWE would never admit def...
Daniel Bryan is going out the only way he can
If you’re a wrestling fan, it may feel like 2014 again. Generally, rerunning something from recent history shows a lack of creativity and ambition, and both of those things have afflicted WWE something fierce for a while now. But when it comes to Daniel Bryan, there isn’t anything he can’t turn to g...
Draymond Green and Tony Allen argue over title of NBA's best defender
Draymond Green is the greatest NBA defensive player ever, according to Draymond Green. ...
It was a great weekend for terrible people in wrestling
It is often said that WWE does its best booking when backed into a corner. That is, whether through injuries to performers or sudden waves of popularity or other factors, when the company has to change or invent stories on the fly is when it tends to produce its best work. Daniel Bryan is a perfect ...
Is WWE putting a title on Matt Riddle ignorance, direct retaliation, or something in between?
WWE isn’t known for its sensitivity, and at times is quite proud of that, and that was clearly evident on Sunday night during the company’s “Elimination Chamber” pay-per-view event. Matt Riddle won the United States Championship, and to say the timing is odd would be scaling a mountain of a euphemis...
Peacock conscripts WWE in ongoing battle for your soul
Last week, it was the announcement that NBC would be shutting down NBCSN by the end of 2021. That meant that the network’s NHL and Premier League coverage, as well as various other sports, would be spread between NBC Universal’s other entities, like USA Network. But the real goal seemed to be to get...
Yep, Vince McMahon is as evil as you think he is, chapter 893
It won’t come as much of a shock to anyone even vaguely familiar with Vince McMahon that he’s pretty much a shit-demon, albeit a shit-demon with billions of dollars. As we’ve learned from recent history, and much to our detriment, being a billionaire means never having to say you’re sorry, or even a...
It’s been Sasha Banks’ year in WWE, but let’s get her a better one soon
WWE will air its final PPV of the year Sunday, Tables, Ladders, and Chairs. Roman Reigns will almost certainly anchor the show against Kevin Owens, and probably rightly so. Reigns has been the story in the company for the last quarter of the year, but that’s just it. It’s only been a quarter of the ...
Survivor Series season is the worst season
This Sunday, WWE will pester its fans with the last of the “Big Four” pay-per-views, Survivor Series. There was a time when it had earned its place alongside the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and SummerSlam. It’s had its share of big moments throughout its existence, from its debut continuing the Hogan...
Vince McMahon squeezes fingers tighter with Zelina Vega release; how much more will slip through?
At first it seemed something of just a run-of-the-mill, Friday news dump from WWE. Releasing a mid-card (at best) female performer/manager in Zelina Vega isn’t a huge shock, given how WWE has trimmed its roster during the pandemic despite record profits. While Vega was an excellent manager, and the ...
Vince isn’t the only McMahon who sucks outside of wrestling
The saga of Vince McMahon is certainly a multifaceted one. Perhaps the most curious, and most hilarious, is his unquenchable thirst to be seen as more than just a wrestling promoter, which in some circles is in the same folder as being a carny. Maybe he gets made fun of at his billionaire parties fo...
In post-#SpeakingOut world, WWE decides hiring Barstool demon bro apologist Erika Nardini is the way to go
It would be the deepest fantasy to expect WWE to make major changes after the #SpeakingOut movement a couple of months ago, where numerous male wrestlers and coaches around the industry were outed as rapists, harassers, assaulters, misogynists, and general dickheads. ...
Vince McMahon Demonstrates Why Pro Wrestlers Need to Unionize
When Andrew Yang gets on your case, you know something’s off. ...
