WrestleWar 1992 Is Still the Bar for WarGames Matches
WarGames is a simple match. When you get past the stumbling block of explaining the rules to everyone, it’s really one of the easiest stipulations in the world to get right. The template and structure for every successful WarGames match was set from day one. It all boils down to…

Dawn of the Sad Rafter Clown (1997 Week 3)
I watched a frankly modern amount of wrestling this week. Raw was an hour. ECW was an hour. WCW, damn them, ran a Nitro, a Clash of the Champions, and nWo Souled Out, a whopping six and a half hours of content strung along, like most WCW programming, on the…

The Greatest Year in the History of Our Sport (1997 Week 1)
I was nine years old when wrestling was cool. The thing is, I didn’t know it was cool back then; it was just wrestling, just something I watched. Now that I’m older, I still don’t know if it was cool. It was popular, but it was approached less like Nirvana…

Before He Retires, Bring Back “Surfer” Sting
They did it. They really did it. All Elite Wrestling built a buzz on the back of a rumor, leaked out just enough information to get people really jazzed about it but also leave (just a tiny bit of) room for other possibilities, and have the whole thing pay off…

What Kind of Cologne Does Sting Wear?
On Friday night’s edition of AEW Dynamite, Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page interrupted Sting and Darby Allin’s victory speech. Sting gets interrupted every time he speaks, so that’s nothing new, but what captured my attention was when Sky took the opportunity to tell Sting that he smelled nice at Double…
