What's Next for the Show That Never Ends?
Another Wrestlemania down. This one was quite excellent, in fact in this writer’s opinion it was certainly the best Wrestlemania since 31, and quite possibly the best since WM27.
The ending, though slightly marred by the suddenness of the finish, will be one of those historical moments etched into the fabric of the WWE – just like Daniel Bryan at 30 and Seth Rollins at 31. In the words of Stephanie McMahon – IT WAS HISTORY. HISTORY WAS BEING MADE. …
We Wanted This Main Event - Now Let History Happen
You Wanted the Main Event – Now Let History Happen
Wrestling fans may well be the most finicky, frustrating fanbase of them all.
Chris Jericho has always maintained on his podcast Talk is Jericho that there are three hellish fanbases in popular culture: the fandoms of Kiss, Star Wars, and Professional Wrestling.
Regarding the latter; it’s a fairly simple equation. You want your favourite to do well. Plus, you want to be entertained, and you want compelling television and long-term …
WWE Have Finally Figured Out the Babyface
Greetings grapple fans!
Welcome to your weekly dose of wrestling dissection, where the world’s in-ring topics are discussed, mulled over and tossed about like a jobber in a Braun Strowman match circa 2016. A place where readers can come to find titillating, considered examination of wrestling, from the sports entertainers to the strong-stylists and everything in between.
The reality is probably none of that; this is likely just a single wrestling fan putting his Journalism degree to some use in …

Here's to you - Monday Night Raw
It was just after WrestleMania V when I was first exposed to the weird and wonderful world of professional wrestling, or "American Wrestling" as it was known at the time to me. I had, of course, seen the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks on ITV World of Sport, but that never really grabbed me.
The then World Wrestling Federation was different though - Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage, Ravishing Rick Rude, Demolition, Hart Foundation and …
Time for Roman to Reign
I feel sorry for Roman Reigns. I'm sure there will be very few that agree with me, but I honestly do feel for the guy. He regularly gets the biggest heel reactions when his music hits, but he's supposed to be the 'superhero' babyface. He's clearly trying his best to play the role of the character he's been given and he has undoubtedly improved in the ring. I'd say he's gone from being a limited to a solid worker in …
Chris Jericho is on the list
"You know what happens when you leave an indelible mark upon the wrestling industry?"
"Huh? When you make your mark in history, do you know what happens? Do you?"
"I'll tell you what happens when do that, you make...... THE LIST!"
That is the list of greats, of legends and undoubtedly one day, the list of Hall of Famers. That is the list that the innovator of 'The List of Jericho', Chris Jericho, is on and deservedly so.
Jericho's recent …
A Cesaro conundrum for WWE
It was quite some time ago that I said I didn't like the Cesaro 'James Bond' entrance; I just didn't get where it came from and what the point of it was. I still don't get where walking out to a James Bond graphic and then ripping off his suit like a stripper really sits with his character or in-ring work. He's an incredible in-ring talent and does possess a certain charisma, but has been hampered by his limitations on …
WWE Hell In A Cell Review
As expected, the night kicked off with the first cell match of the so-called ‘triple main event’ as Roman Reigns defended the US Title against Rusev. This has been a storyline that I’ve not been enamoured with, simply because I felt like I watched them have a very similar confrontation every week. Both guys should have bright futures, but this has not worked as well I’d hoped in term of a programme and after what was a solid and physical …
WWE Hell In A Cell Preview
It'll be all eyes on Boston this Sunday as WWE brings the Raw pay per view Hell In A Cell to town. It's being billed as a triple main event show, but in reality there are two main events here and the most significant of them is the Women's title match between the champion and home town hero Sasha Banks and challenger, Charlotte.
Make no mistake, the Women's championship being billed as a main event match at a WWE pay …
