We’re just days away from this year’s New York Comic Con at the Javits Center. And while we’ll be providing our normal podcast interviews and website wrap-up coverage, we wanted to share our thoughts beforehand of some stuff we’re excited to see (or not see since we won’t be there all weekend). The Fantastic Four:…
Charlie Davis: It’s a new week in wrestling! Wheels are turning on some stories! We’ve got some NJPW news to catch up on and Raw was… it wasn’t SO BAD? No, that can’t be right. Mikey Zee: Well, Charlie, good for Raw doesn’t necessarily mean… good? But thankfully there was some really solid wrestling this…
Charlie Davis: More WWE PPV’s than you can shake a stick at. Which means more predictions! I also watched Raw this week because I hate myself! Forrest Hollingsworth: If you or your loved ones have been impacted by Raw, consider watching literally anything else. Monday: RAW Charlie: Takeover: In Your House happened and it was…
Vishal Gullapalli: Okay since I’m here first again I get to claim the site’s stance on Double or Nothing! So… Double or Nothing was a decent event that started way better than it finished. I’m an editor now, Charlie can’t stop me from saying this! Charlie Davis: Vishal that’s not how things work! ANYWAY. I…
Mikey Zee: This week we’ve got AEW Friday Night Dynamite, BAY BAY! Charlie Davis: It’s AEW PPV week! And the wrestling schedule is all messed up because of the NBA playoffs! Woooo! Vishal Gullapalli: I’m just here for NXT, as always. Mikey: We’re also gonna try a slightly new format this week as far as…
Charlie Davis: I am first again! Well, first is relative, but we’ve got a big AEW PPV coming up, a weird Backlash we are putting under our belts and a lot of gooey stuff in between! Mikey Zee: Oh, boy, do we have some gooey emotional stuff this week in wrestling. And, well, everyone else…
Vishal Gullapalli: I’m here first today! No longer am I the latecomer, I set the pace! Muahahahahahaha! Charlie Davis: Vishal is here to apparently Out Work Everyone. Wait… I think that one is taken. Mikey Zee: No, Charlie, I’m pretty sure Vishal is making a Kazuchika Okada reference… anyway, on to this week in wrestling!…
Forrest Hollingsworth: Blood AND Guts? In this economy? Charlie Davis: That’s what they tell me, Forrest. Though I will say all my blood is still inside of my body and my guts are still intact too. I would like a refund. Vishal Gullapalli: Blood and Guts more like Blankets and Pillows, am I right? Am…
Charlie Davis: Well last week we all kinda struck out, I was sick, Forrest was recovering, everyone was just kinda BLEH. So we decided to take a skip week which means we can come into wrestling this week with bright eyes and bushy tails… IF you can make it past Monday Night Raw! Forrest Hollingsworth:…
Charlie Davis: My DNA feels like it was rewritten last week. But I am glad I made it to this week, even if I am feeling. Different. Forrest Hollingsworth: After last week I’m different! I don’t need to eat, drink, or sleep anymore! I’m gobblin’ up all the high spots, the low spots, the mat-based…
CW: This article contains discussion of violence and pictures of blood. Charlie Davis: Alright! I’ve got my jams and jellies from the aforementioned World’s Largest Orange and I think I am ready to cry. I mean… talk about wrestling this week. How are we feeling, gang? A week on the beach has got to do…
CW for discussion of the Fiend and Alexa Bliss regarding abuse narratives. Charlie Davis: Another week of Wrestling! And well…we’ve got a lot to talk about. Forrest Hollingsworth: This so-called “Road to Wrestlemania” sure seems bumpy, huh? Vishal Gullapalli: What’s wrestling? I wanna talk about Pokemon. Fastlane and NJPW Cup CD: Honestly some stuff happened…
Building a wrestling promotion around being cute is not. The ‘Rasslin’ Report A wrestling promotion — like many other fallible human enterprises, really — is a lot like a sandcastle. It can be intricate. It can be sloppy. It can be impressive. It can be the product of hours of hard work, or it can…
The Best Man Miro might be in trouble. The ‘Rasslin’ Report If I owned stock in Miro — which I don’t, because he’s the professional wrestler formerly known as Rusev — I’d call in a hold or maybe even a sell order into my broker, because I’m down as hell on his AEW debut, primarily…
When even low expectations can’t save a thing. A Short Review of ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ (PS4) It ain’t great. The ‘Rasslin’ Report AEW’s “All Out” was a middling affair, but there’s only so much you can do when half your main event participants are either too old (Jericho, and I am sorry, but he can’t keep…
