Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (11/6/19)
In the world of professional wrestling, the “go-home” show (the last televised show before a pay-per-view) is used to help entice PPV buys, building feuds to a fever pitch before finally (hopefully) giving fans the payoff. So, with Full Gear coming on Saturday, November 9th, did this week’s Dynamite deliver on that promise? Well, that […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (10/30/19)
Back in the glory days of WCW, the Halloween Havoc PPV was seen by those in the company as their biggest show (even if Starrcade was often treated as the bigger deal externally as the last big show of each year). Given how fascinated the execs of AEW are with old school WCW, I found […]

Getting Over: AEW Dynamite Review (10/23/19)
Going into this week’s AEW Dynamite show, there were a few big questions that needed answering, based on the build from the last few shows.

The search for the best XFL logo
The XFL, originally launched all the way back in 2001, lasted just one season. It was the brainchild of WWE owner Vince McMahon and co-owned by NBC. It was designed to be rougher, harder-hitting, and even more entertaining than other football. It never quite caught on, though. The football, the main reason for being there, […]

Wednesday Night Dynamite: AEW to Debut on TNT on October 2nd
Pro wrestling is about to get a whole lot more fun. Since announcing their partnership with TNT back in May of this year, All Elite Wrestling has ran three major Pay-Per-View events (Double or Nothing, Fyter Fest, and Fight for the Fallen). All three have been well-received sell-outs, often within minutes. Those events, along with […]

Inconsistency is killing the WWE. Lukewarm products are hard to digest.

The Big Ten is Just Fine: Defending Conference Expansion
On Tuesday, the website “Go Iowa Awesome” posted an article by Patrick Vint arguing, to quote the article title, that “the Big Ten needs to contract.” Yes, as in actually kick schools out.

Mr. Rushmore Week 2018: Pro Wrestling Feuds
Professional wrestling is built on feuds. It’s the lifeblood of an industry whose entire premise is built on Good Guy (the babyface) vs. Bad Guy (the heel).
