‘Highlights’ of a Bad Boy
Former rebound king and Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman is recognized as one of the original bad boys of the NBA. That’s not only because he played for the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons of the 1980s and early 90s, either. Rodman may have been more entertaining off the court than on it. And he was indeed a sig...
Y’all had jokes for Karrion Kross’ new entrance attire — and rightfully so
Let’s provide you with some idea of how high the WWE’s been on Karrion Kross. ...
This weekend told you everything you needed to know about what WWE and AEW are
The idea WWE higher-ups have been pushing that they don’t pay attention to AEW seems as flimsy as ever now....
Just when I think I'm out, WWE's big events pull me back in
SummerSlam is Saturday night, the second-biggest night in pro wrestling behind WrestleMania, and as a casual fan of the grapples, I’ll be tuning in as usual....
Brett Favre finally does something smart
Lately, it seems like whenever we hear Brett Favre’s name in the news, it’s because he’s said something controversial. This time Favre’s name is in headlines due to a positive message he’s sending out. The topic he is speaking on is significant to those involved with football in any capacity on any ...
We are about to enter the end of the beginning in wrestling
Wrestling has been here before. Everything is cyclical in the business — everyone comes back, stories pop up again and reference what came before, it’s a never-ending soap opera. So the idea of being on the precipice of something at least resembling a sea change in the world of big-time professional...
WWE will finally kill NXT
I guess the folly for all of us was thinking the NXT we loved could last a long time in the world of WWE, if reports are to be believed. I have to admit that I’m biased. While Daniel Bryan was the reason I started watching wrestling again, NXT was the reason I became such a huge fan. But it’s starti...
Um, YIKES, Max Caster
We all know heels need heat. And I get it, AEW is supposed to be the alternative to WWE for “real” wrestling fans, the ones who long for a return to the grittier, TV-14-rated Attitude Era. But there are a bunch of fans (read: women) who don’t want to go back to the Attitude Era, a time when women we...
WWE’s release of Bray Wyatt may be its most confusing yet
News of WWE releasing a hyper-talented performer who had been underused, or misused altogether, has become so commonplace in recent times that it’s no longer surprising. Just in the past two months we’ve seen Aleister Black (now Malakai Black), Ruby Riott, Braun Strowman, Mickie James, Andrade, and ...
This CM Punk thing is really happening, isn’t it?
There are a couple hard and fast rules in wrestling:...
Is Daniel Bryan going to AEW? Maybe! Maybe! Maybe!
Bodyslam.net says they have an exclusive, reporting that Daniel Bryan, whose real name is Bryan Danielson, is headed to AEW. Danielson had been with the WWE from 2009 through this past April. After being in the main event of WrestleMania 37 in a triple threat match including Edge for the WWE Univers...
It’s time for the yearly CM Punk rumors, but this one might be a little more concrete
This has been wrestling Ahab’s quest for seven years now. He is the white whale, if the white whale had Living Colour playing wherever he went. Which probably would have made him way easier to find, and been a much easier book to read. But I prattle on, and we’re not here to talk about Moby Dick or ...
I thought having a crowd would make Monday Night Raw try harder. That’s my bad
Monday Night Raw was last in the pool, as it were. AEW Dynamite has run two shows in front of live crowds, and really had been operating in front of a crowd since they started letting fans fill the seats at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Fla. WWE returned to its normal arena show last Friday on Smac...

The pandemic era has ended for AEW and WWE. Now what?
You wouldn’t think a video package simply about a wrestling company being stuck in one location for 15 months can bring a tear to the eye, but I suppose that’s a testament to the production team at AEW:...
