To say I’m behind on my blog here would be an understatement. I just went through and cleaned up my drafts. (IE, removed stuff that I’d started and won’t bother finishing because it’s no longer topical or relevant). I’m still left with over 50 drafts. And that DOESN’T include at least a dozen or so that I know are coming but I’ve not officially started. All of that said, I figured tonight is as good … Continue reading
One of the reasons I love Twitter is because you can “interact” with people you’d never run across in your regular life. Case in point… I tweeted at Hulk Hogan the other day with an image of a bad ass tattoo that I ran across on Instagram from user @wrestlingtattoos. Lo and behold, the Hulkster responded… and made my day. Not sure how long these tweets will be out there, but here’s my original tweet … Continue reading
So… last week, Hulk Hogan announced on Twitter that he’d be attending tonight’s (Monday, August 11th) edition of Monday Night RAW to celebrate his birthday. Twitter, Facebook and various wrestling groups I belonged to immediately started buzzing about his return, what it would mean, would the NWO reform, etc. But it got me to thinking. I’m at the age (38) where Hulk Hogan definied professional wrestling during my formative years. But when I think about today’s … Continue reading
WrestleMania XXX (or WrestleMania 30 for the Roman Numeral challenged) will take place on April 6th, 2014 in New Orleans, Louisiana at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. For the 9th time, Pip and I (and returning for a 4th year in a row my brother Marko) will renew our feud with the most fearsome structure known to guys who pretend they’re much younger than they actually are… The Beeramid. This will be the 6th time that we’ve … Continue reading
I hate the fact that I’m going to devote another post to a wrestling angle that I think is complete crap, but I once again finding myself sitting down to write about TNA’s Aces & Eights. I was listening to my favorite wrestling podcast on my way to work this morning (The FTW Podcast… if you don’t listen to them you should definitely check them out… you’ll be glad you did) and they were having … Continue reading
I try really hard not to be one of those wrestling fans who talks about the “good old days” and does nothing but bitch about the current product. After all, if I don’t like the current product then I should just turn it off and stop bitching about it. That said, every once in a while an angle or character comes along that just pisses me off so bad that I can’t keep my mouth … Continue reading
I started doing a yearly recap last year. During the past year, I’ve found myself referring to that post quite a few times so I figured I’d do it again this year. Got something you want me to cover in 2012? Drop me a line and I’ll see what I can do! The Top 10 Posts of 2011 (Based On Number of Views) #10 – Thoughts At 35 No matter how hard I try, I … Continue reading
I just got done watching Thursday night’s Impact Wrestling. One of my favorite wrestling podcasts/websites, The FTW Podcast always gives their picks for upcoming PPVs. As you know, TNA is having their flagship PPV this weekend called Bound For Glory. If you’re not familiar with TNA or this particular PPV it’s the most important/biggest PPV for this organization (similar to the way WrestleMania is for the WWE but not nearly as well known). In any … Continue reading
I’ve had the idea for this post for quite a while now and I’m finally getting around to actually writing it. I’m not quite sure where its headed, but I’m guessing it’s going to be a bit of a rant. For those readers that aren’t in the mood to listen to me bitch about what’s wrong with the wrestling feel free to move along. Still with me? OK… here goes. In no particular order. Mandatory … Continue reading
WrestleMania 27 is just a few days away and just as in many previous years there is a “celebrity” on the card. I’ve got celebrity in quotes there cause personally I don’t consider Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi from MTV’s Jersey Shore a celebrity. That said, most of the known universe (and certainly much of the WWE universe) knows who she is so Vince shelled out what I’m sure I’d consider way too much money to bring … Continue reading
