Mariah 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…

Unfortunately, her time in professional wrestling was marred by people accusing her of being a man. The comments were hurtful and repulsive. And this was at a time when pro wrestling…
Read MoreAnthony Bowens’ game-changing moment
It’s no secret. I enjoy the pro wrestling duo known as The Acclaimed. Max Caster and Anthony Bowens come to the ring with one of the coolest entrances – Caster throws diss tracks at the opponents, while Bowens hypes up the crowd with shouts of “The Acclaimed Have Arrived!” Don’t believe me? Look at this.…
Read MoreThe Iron Sheik and my first brush with kayfabe
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…
