Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY.


The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire. 

It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it. 

The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind. 

Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie. 

While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent. 

Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat". 

That spear from Edge to Judgement Day that landed outside the ring was unlike I had ever seen before from him. Now that's worthy of flash photography or in today's age, a TikTok video. 

By far, the highlight of all of this is Michael Cole once again, channelling his inner 2003 self and I appreciate it so much. 

Imagine him doing that type of commentary for Dark Knight Rises after "Miranda" stabbed Batman in the back ("what is wrong with you!?")? That would've made that meh of a movie a lot more interesting. 

Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle in a fight pit? Roger Ebert level thumbs up for me. 

Let's talk about the elephant in the room or should I say, the white rabbit in the room. 

Bray Wyatt has returned and he got the Road Warrior pop, Stone Cold pop, The Rock pop, that racist POS Hulk Hogan pop, Jeff Jarrett pop, and your mom pop. 

What I'm trying to say is that he got the exact opposite of X-Pac heat because everyone (including me) wants to see him and he's finally here. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Bray Wyatt got the Jeff Jarrett Pop, Brawling Brutes vs Imperium, Michael Cole is fantastic, Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle. 

Didn't like: Ronda Rousey vs Liv Morgan.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

WWE Backlash 2020 | A Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent PPV that was highlighted by a few good matches and one greatest match (yea, yea, the pun is worn out already but I just had to).  As a tradition on this site, I've not seen the pre-show match, however, I've heard it was solid.  Bayley And Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross vs The IIconics For The Women's Tag Team Championship.  A decent opening match of the evening. Peyton Royce did a unique crossbody onto every participant in the match.  Moments later, Royce and Billie Kay did their double team move on Sasha Banks but you know who also did a double team move?  Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss with a double team DDT on Peyton Royce.  As soon as Bliss hits the Twisted Bliss on Peyton Royce, Sasha Banks quickly rolled Alexa up for the victory and retained dos straps.  The tag team championship reign of the golden role models continues (No sh*t, Omar). Also, I wanna briefly speak on the Alexa Bliss situation....

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript):  " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again.  There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations.  That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
