This is an observation I’ve noticed that cuts across promotions, for me that’s mainly WWE and AEW. In recent matches it seems some really basic rules were not being followed and gimmick matches that didn’t make sense, although the latter really only applies to one specific match. Let’s start with the latter: Becky Lynch and …

That’s a very prevalent question in light of the events at AEW’s latest show, Fyter Fest, which happened this past weekend at Daytona Beach, Florida. AEW’s Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes, who is also a competitor, fought to a 20 minute time limit against up and comer Darby Allin when Shawn Spears (WWE’s former Tye …

Wow, really…. Sorry, I’m writing this after watching Double or Nothing, so comparing that with what transpired this past week with the new title on WWE, underwhelming is probably an understatement when it comes to this revamped version of the ‘Hardcore Championship’. When it was first announced that WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley would …

The Money in the Bank pay per view that recently concluded was actually solidly booked in terms of the outcome of matches, but again nothing is ever perfectly executed and a number of minor details, coupled with a ridiculously shocking ending, are what I would like to bring up. What’s Up With the Referees? No …

So we have another week where a McMahon family member comes out and imposes a random stipulation between the two brands, as Vince instituted the so-called “wildcard rule” whereby four random wrestlers from RAW and Smackdown appear on the other brand. Roman Reigns, who was just drafted to the blue brand, along with WWE Champion …

Those of us in “Internet Wrestling Community” have at various times complained about booking decisions WWE made regarding various talent and storylines. Everybody believes they always have a better idea on anything. More likely 90% of the time WWE tend to ignore IWC suggestions on booking strategies. That’s not to say that some ideas that …

Now that Wrestlemania 35 is done and in the history books, everyone’s attention will be on the upcoming Superstar Shakeup as to who is going over to which brand. We saw this past week on RAW a returning Sami Zayn and Lars Sullivan, who finally reemerged after dealing with personal mental health issues, and the …

In our final instalment of this ‘brief’ look into the current titles in WWE, we turn our attention to the latest brand to grace the WWE umbrella: NXT UK, as well as two other titles that are not exclusively RAW or Smackdown. NXT UK WWE United Kingdom Championship The WWE United Kingdom Championship was introduced …

With Takeover starting on Friday, April 5 here are my personal “educated” guesses on what the final outcome will be. Fatal Four Way Match for NXT Women’s Championship This match between current champion Shayna Baeszler, Io Shirai, Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair should be a barnburner if the last fatal four way to determine Asuka’s …

In the first summation of all titles in the WWE, we looked at the current belts across both main roster brands in RAW and Smackdown Live. Now we look at the titles currently available in WWE’s unofficial “third brand”: NXT. NXT Championship When NXT was relaunched from the cheesy reality show format into an actual …

The WWE in 2019 is radically different from the organization in the days when I started watching professional wrestling some 20 years ago. Back in 1998, you had one World title, one mid-card title, one set of tag team titles and maybe a smattering of other championships that didn’t have much shelf life. How things …

I am not talking about Aleister Black and Ricochet getting prime spots on RAW and Smackdown, culminating in a RAW tag titles match at Fastlane, while still competing on the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic on NXT. WWE for now seems to be hitting their stride with some of the top tier stars from WWE’s …
