It is no secret that I enjoy professional wrestling. Good people know not to bother me on Wednesday nights lest they interrupt my AEW Dynamite binging. That being said … the passing of Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri yesterday caught me off-guard. He was a professional wrestler in the late 1970’s and 1980’s, working under the…

Bobby Fish is a professional wrestler. He’s appeared with the major companies, he was part of a very popular stable in WWE’s NXT brand as members of the “Undisputed Era,” a group that featured professional wrestlers Adam Cole, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly..

I enjoy watching All Elite Wrestling. For me, Wednesday night is reserved for AEW Dynamite, and Friday nights are locked in for AEW Rampage. For me, it’s much more exciting than watching WWE wrestling. The storylines make more sense, the action is more realistic, and you get more involved in watching the program each week.…

Jeff Hardy, along with his brother Matt, redefined what pro wrestlers could achieve. The Hardys brought a very unique flair and style to their matches. They leaped off ropes as if it was second nature. They risked their lives in ladder matches and in other death-defying competitions. And it’s paid off for Jeff Hardy in…

Professional wrestling can be enjoyed on several different levels. You can enjoy the athletic competition between two combatants, you can enjoy the gymnastic flips of lucha libre, you can enjoy the non-stop competition of tag team and trios matches, all of that.\ And then you can enjoy the pairing of two distinctly diverse individuals as…
