Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Not sure exactly how it happened, but today I ended up watching a bunch of videos of wrestlers telling stories about the Iron Sheik. Videos like this one, for example. Somewhere in the midst of it all, I remembered something. When I was in grade two, part of our routine was listening to a newscast …

This is going to be old news to most of you who would care about such things,but since I’m just now watching episodes of NXT from last summer, here goes. I don’t want to complain too much about the Heritage Cup tournament. The round-robin concept is a very un-WWE-like thing to present, and I mean …
An AI generated Gorilla Monsoon telling rapid fire wrestling and dick jokes for an hour on a pretend podcast with AI generated versions of Bobby Heenan, Mean Gene Okerlund and others is one of those things I didn’t know I needed in my life, but I sure am glad I watched it. If you’re a …
I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. Mine consisted of a family brunch and a trip to AEW Collision in London. I want to take a second to thank our friends Barb and Alex for setting us up with tickets to that second thing. Twas extremely amazing of you to do that and trust …

Wrestling and wrestler no longer considered ‘dirty words’ in WWE Good god in heaven do I ever hope this is true. WWE does a million stupid things, but the ridiculous attempts to get rid of words like wrestling and wrestler will always be near the top of my list no matter what else ever happens. …
