Independent wrestling companies who do not have a regular time slot on television have been out of work because they can’t do shows in front of large gatherings.

The first Monday Night RAW of this new decade has unfolded and already I have a lot to say about it…which is either a good thing, or a bad thing. Either way, here are my thoughts: Brock Lesnar Royal Rumble entry is not ‘historic’ At the risk of incurring the wrath of one of the …

So far in the first few weeks of AEW’s new ‘Dynamite’ they’ve exceeding expectations by producing a solid pro wrestling program while managing to create compelling storyline narratives.

November is usually the traditional time for NXT Takeover: War Games. The black and yellow brand revived the concept a few years ago, where two rings side by side would be surrounded by a steel cage and the match would only begin once all combatants from opposing teams entered the structure. Since it’s inception in …

#KWKorner: What The HELL Was That???(@thekantastic)
I remember watching the first Hell in a Cell match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker when Kane made his debut and tore off the cell doors. I remember when the Undertaker threw Mick Foley off the top of the cell. I’ve seen the countless number of times that Triple H used a sledgehammer in …
