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 …

Firings
A few moves I feel the need to comment on. Bell Canada slashing 4,800 jobs, selling 45 radio stations I didn’t realize there were that many people still working there. I kid, but only a little. In the last few years that company has been gutted until there’s nothing left to gut, and then somehow …
Several Hours Worth Of Stories About The Royal Rumble
I haven’t worked my way through all of this yet, but I’m posting it anyway since there’s no possible way that Sean Ross Sapp talking to dozens of wrestlers current and classic about their experiences in the Royal Rumble isn’t going to be at least a little bit interesting. The Rumble has been my favourite …

It’s All About The …Uh-Oh
How have I never thought of this!? It’s all I’ll be able to think about whenever I see HHH now, though. Solid point about the attitude era vs. today, too.
Boo On Me
I learned today that in 1980, Larry Zbyszko recorded a funky disco song called Boo On Me. I’m not going to sit here and tell you it’s great, but I expected it to be so much worse than it is. I think I might even almost like it. I miss the days when wrestlers would …
Can We Please Not Create Another Wrestling Monopoly?

Will You Kids Stop Sports Entertaining UP There! I Don’t Need You Ending UP In A Local Medical Facility!
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. …
WWE Puts Band-Aid On Gunshot Wound
WWE Raw moving to TV-14 rating on USA Network Well, there’s that fixed. We all know the problem with WWE isn’t insufferably long shows, boring characters, bad match finishes, awful dialogue and worse storytelling. It’s that they can’t say “shit” a bunch of times like AEW does. It has to be that, because the whole …
Finally, Some Wrestling Logic We Can All Get Behind
If Billy Gunn is Mr. Ass and has proudly proclaimed through song that he is an AssMan, then it only makes sense that his sons should be the Assboys. This is the greatest. I’ve had it stuck in my head all weekend long. Wrestling is so weird and so fun sometimes.
We Need To Change Some Wrestling Rules
Maybe I’ve written this before, I don’t know and I’m not going back to check. But we have got to do something about these triple threat, fatal 4-way, 6 pack challenge, whatever they want to call the multi-person matches in wrestling. The rules are dumb and it makes me hate them even when the match …
