Duckman on Rollins, Bryan and more.
Two things before we kick off this week. First off, one of my all-time comedy heroes, Rik Mayall, died aged 56. That man – and the generation of comedians he came up with in the 1980s – shaped my entire sense of humour. As kid I watched everything they produced countless times and Rik Mayall …

Davie’s Dungeon: Bored, Bored, Bored!!!
Welcome to the dungeon! At this moment I am so bored with wrestling that it’s hard for me to sit down and watch a full show. Usually after Wrestlemania I get a little irritated with the product and don’t seem to enjoy it until around SummerSlam but I can’t recall a time when I …

What Did You Expect From The Vacuous
After last week’s marathon article, this week I intend to keep it pretty brief,for a couple of reasons. Number one is I had an exam to sit, and it was pretty important, so most of my time has been devoted to that, number two, appropriately, is TNA. With my free time taken up by the …

What it is fine readers! I’ve sort of started to get into the swing of this writing thing now (I think?), so here’s this week’s diatribe – IT PAYS TO BE RUDE! Recently, I can’t help but notice the amount of love the crowd has for the heels. The WWE has The Wyatts, Bad News …

Davie’s Dungeon: Time Limits – A Thing Of The Past?
Welcome to the dungeon! Does anyone remember the days when the ring announcer would introduce the matches by saying, ‘this match is for one fall with a 20 minute time limit’? That’s something we don’t hear anymore as the rules of a pro-wrestling match have declined over the years. My question is, should the …

Duckman on NXT Takeover, CM Punk and more.
In a week of endless stories about the horrors our species inflicts on each other, let’s lighten the mood with some mindless chatter about wrestling. There’s a seedy side to wrestling (actually it’s more seedy than a box of Trill), but it’s a lot less horrifying than stories of mass shootings, gang rape, murder and …

Did Elvis Really Die?
I want to start this week with an apology. Well, more than one really, but one big one. Last week, I said I would never claim to be able to write a wrestling show, and I was wrong. I have always said I was a total mark, I watch wrestling to see the swerve, to …

Guest Column – Sparky’s Plug: The Attitude Era and Social Media
After the rousing reception I got for my first ever piece the other week about ECW, I’ve been buoyed into going at it again and once again, I’ve gleaned my inspiration whilst listening to those fine fellows on SLTD Radio. The subject matter of one of their most recent shows was the Attitude Era and …

NXT Revisited 29th May: Hostile Takeovers!
And we’re back. I explained my absence in my return column for Raw Revisited which you can read here (and you should, for many reasons!) so I won’t get into it here. Let’s just get straight into talking about the AWESOME second live special of NXT; NXT: Takeover. Camacho Express….Derailed! The opening contest of the night …
