WWE Recap: Women’s Wrestling Saves Company Yet Again
With the Raw and SmackDown go-homes airing this week, there was still a lot to be decided for Survivor Series. Who would face Roman Reigns? Who else will join Team SmackDown? And who genuinely wants to buy merch from a Snoop Dogg/Undertaker collaboration? What I wouldn’t give to be a…

WWE Recap: Slap it on a Pole
As we trod through an election week that’s easily felt 8 years long, WWE reminds us that while we might be stuck in a horrible political landscape that feels powerless to enact real change, at least we’ll always have dick kicks in wrestling. What a comforting thought. Instrumental Win In…

WWE Recap: Your Favorite Groupie Returns
WWE concluded a relatively uneventful draft on Monday night, somehow missing the “shake it up” element and managing to keep 97% of feuding superstars on the same brand. Gotta milk that well til it’s dry. Here’s a complete list of who’s playing for what team: Night 1 Draft: Raw Smackdown…

WWE Recap: Slapjack, Mace, T-Bar- The Gang’s All Here
An NXT trainer reportedly tested positive for COVID-19 this week, but I wouldn’t worry too much about that in this high contact sport where everybody is constantly touching each other. Instead, we should be way more concerned about a Bane gimmick in 2020. What’s going on there? Were the Scream…

WWE Recap: Retribution Still Around, Somehow
With Clash of Champions one week away, WWE slowly spins it’s wheels with rematches, muddled finishes, and more of that terrible new Keith Lee theme. Smoke Collective This was a really fun tag match that almost made me forget it was only happening because neither brand can properly build teams.…

WWE Recap: Grab Your Kendo Sticks, Grab Your Cousins
WWE is moving towards Clash of Champions at the end of this month with all the grace of a newborn horse first learning to walk. Unlike the quick turnaround for Payback last month, there’s still two weeks to build storylines for the upcoming PPV, but you really wouldn’t know it…

WWE Recap: Same Stuff Every Week
Since WWE has decided to turn out PPVs like wrestling shows are going out of style, this week was devoted to building storylines for Payback in a tight five hours. While we were treated to some unexpected returns, we also saw a lot of rematches and not nearly enough women’s…

WWE Recap: All Around Me Are CGI Faces

WWE recap: No flames, plz
Next week’s SummerSlam got a cute new subtitle, because “The Horror Show at Extreme Rules” just went over so well. The show is now advertised as “You’ll Never See It Coming” but if you take off the first and last words, I’d guess that’s most wrestling fan’s sentiment about WWE…
