Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (2/12/20)
I gushed over last week’s Dynamite episode and rightly so. The storytelling was top-notch, giving fans some wrestling meat to sink their teeth into. This week, the build towards Revolution, now just a couple of short weeks away, truly kicked into high gear. If last week’s Dynamite was a great show, then I barely have […]

XFL Needs Our Support
The revamped XFL debuted this past weekend. Mostly positive reviews followed with cautious optimism seems to be the common theme. Some of the names of players may be familiar and the coaches have a ton of experience. Then the league came out firing with new rules on kickoff and faster pace of play that is […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (2/5/20)
When I started writing about AEW and Dynamite specifically, I didn’t really just want to write another recap of a wrestling show. There’s plenty of those. I’m a lot more interested in what makes a wrestling show work. That’s where the title Getting Over came from. How does a company, starting almost completely from scratch, […]

SDSU, the hero of the MWC
What does SDSU’s success during the season mean for their run in the NCAA tournament? Absolutely nothing. Nothing is guaranteed in the tournament, friends. Bet wisely.

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (1/29/20)
With a month before AEW’s next pay-per-view, I’ve sort of had to recondition myself as a fan. For so long, wrestling fans have been treated to, like clockwork, a major show every month, allowing for a fairly quick four week or so build. I’m sure AEW will eventually succumb to this model, but currently they’re […]

The Legend of Kobe
Whether you loved him or hated him, there’s no denying Kobe Bryant’s death shocked everyone. Players, coaches, members of the media, spectators, and more had the air knocked out of them when authorities confirmed his death in a helicopter accident. “The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be […]

Brotherly Love and Basketball
My brother Brad wasn’t always my best friend. Growing up, as the two in the middle of the Four Downs Boys, we never really had much in common. He was always cool, I never was. He was a great athlete, I was awful. It wasn’t until my freshman year of high school, Brad’s senior year, […]

AEW Dynamite Review (1/22/20)
On the surface, gimmick episodes of a weekly wrestling show somehow sound both perfectly fitting and possibly one step too far. Last week, we had the “Bash at the Beach” episode, although AEW didn’t really take advantage of the gimmick in any meaningful way outside of the branding and a well-placed lifeguard. This week, everything […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (1/8/20)
Flying high after a much needed kid-free vacation to Cancun, I return to recap this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. Similarly, AEW returned to soaring heights last week, drawing 900k viewers in a New Year’s Day episode that erased the sour taste left by the winter finale. That episode successfully teased the fate of The […]

College Football Scandal Thoughts
Recently, a friend and I were talking about how we would react if a scandal of the Penn State or Baylor calibur happened at our alma maters. Obviously, it would be a very hard pill to swallow. Of course I would want justice to be served (whether that be firing everyone and/or all wins taken […]
