Hey, do you remember when professional wrestler Chris Jericho, who’s currently one of the biggest stars of All Elite Wrestling, took his rock band Fozzy and played a couple of shows at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in August? Here’s a refresher. I blogged about it. So now, on Jericho’s “Talk is Jericho” podcast, the veteran…

There’s a show on the VICE channel called Dark Side of the Ring, which is absolutely phenomenal.  It looks at historic moments in professional wrestling, gets as many people as it can to talk about those moments, and gives a no-nonsense, no-filter recap of the story.  Like, for example, here’s their overview of the infamous…

At one point, the wrestling team that I most enjoyed watching were the IIconics (yes, it’s with two I’s), the team of Australian wrestlers Peyton Royce and Billie Kay. However, some diseased…

I am a long-time fan of professional wrestling.  Even back in the days before Wrestlemanias, back when matches were taped at the old Agricultural Building in Allentown, Pa. and syndicated throughout the Northeast on the old WWWF circuit. So the return of the documentary series Dark Side of the Ring has me totally stoked. Dark…

I have been a fan of professional wrestling for many decades.  Over the years, I’ve actually met and interviewed several top stars for magazine articles and the like – Bret Hart, Chris Jericho, Bruno Sammartino, Mick Foley and Ted DiBiase, to name but a few.  This is fun stuff. And I also enjoy the current…
