Hulk Hogan don’t work for me, bruddah.
I will give Hulk Hogan his flowers. He revolutionized the appeal of professional wrestling. He was a larger than life character in a sport full of larger than life characters. He had charisma in buckets. He was marketable like no one would believe. He could sell out an arena in nothing flat. For over twenty…

If there was ever a defining moment in professional wrestling where fans just went, “Did that actually happen? That wasn’t part of a script? What in the ever-loving soul of Bruno Sammartino is going on here?” – it would have to be the events of June 27, 2011. During a live telecast of the WWE’s…
Read MoreCan we give Harley Cameron ALL the belts?
There are moments when, as a pro wrestling fan, I see nuggets of storylines evolve into something bigger and better and broader. A one-note character with limited microphone skills and limited in-ring abilities slowly morphs into a capable squared circle tactician who can spit fire with promo time. And such is the case with AEW’s…
Read MoreHe’s a “Real American” in the worst possible way.
I’m not going to lie. Hulk Hogan always rubbed me the wrong way. In professional wrestling, he was the good guy, or “babyface” that you hoped would get beaten to a pulp by the bad guy, or “heel.” And when he turned heel later on in his career, his persona just completely sucked the life…

Last night, All Elite Wrestling held a taping at the MVP Arena for AEW Collision, the wrestling company’s Saturday evening two-hour show of grappling and action. Normally the show airs live, but lately AEW has started pre-taping events so as to give their talent a better work schedule and easier travel. Plus, they can also…
Read MoreMariah May went from All About Eve to Sunset Boulevard in nothing flat.
One of the most captivating plotlines in All Elite Wrestling is the storyline involving wrestler “Timeless” Toni Storm (who currently uses a gimmick of a 1950’s-era movie star diva) and her protege, new signee Mariah May. From the start ,this plotline is everything you want in a wrestling storyline – great wrestling action, compelling story,…

Read MoreWas that CM Punk or PG Punk on TV last night?
Let’s get one thing straight. CM Punk is one of the most gifted wrestlers of his time. He’s also one of the absolute legends on the pro wrestling microphone. Put a microphone in his hand, and watch out. He will speak his mind, no matter where the shrapnel flies. Trust me. When you’re known for…
Read MoreCM Punk worked himself into a shoot.
Before this blog post gets underway, I need to explain a few wrestling terms. A “work” is when two wrestlers look like they want to beat the shit out of each other in the ring, but it’s all scripted action and both men are working together to achieve the result. A “shoot” is when one…
