Playard Wrestling Post

Last spring, I wrote an article about how to critique pro wrestling better aka "a guide on how to improve wrestling criticism" . I got some positive takes on it but the question is, why did I produce the second edition?  Well, you have to thank the awful videos and articles that I, unfortunately, consumed but at least, I wrote down some notes that contained the number of bad critiques that I was passionately blasted down on.  Like I mentioned in last year's piece, I am just an average fan that doesn't claim to be an expert in any form of criticism because YouTube will definitely give you the "I'm right, you're wrong" type of content.  This is just a learning process for not only the viewers reading this but myself as we all are trying to get better.  Without further explanation, let's guide you  to a better critique in wrestling (at least I hope so) numbra dos.  #1. Focusing Too Much On Logic (and no, I'm not talking abou...

It's been 5 months since I wrote a piece so I apologize for that but lately, I've seen a few wrestling bloggers say that they thought of leaving the wrestling blogging world behind and I wanna address that because it's an important topic we as a community need to talk about.  I've been blogging about professional wrestling (more specifically WWE because I'm a WWE shill) for a year and a half now and one of the reasons why I do what I do on this site is that it's my form of mental therapy for me and I will always cherish that. However, not every blogger feels this way and thanks to my quote "influence", I've reached out to some of them and here are the common things I've got from them.  #1 "I'm not good enough because my work doesn't get much visitors"  I don't know if they've been writing for 2 years, 3 years but that sounds like somebody that has been blogging for that long. Anyways, if you do I get it....

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

Regardless of how the shows are good or not, we all can admit that Wrestlemania weekend is a big weekend and a great weekend for not only WWE but the entire wrestling landscape. Fite TV has made us wrestling fans easier to purchase PPVs and they took that to a whole new level. Fite TV gathered all the pro wrestling festivities (no pun intended) from April 3rd till 6th in one bundle called “Fitefest” and it includes (this is taken from their announcement):  Wednesday, April 3 8:30pm ET - WrestlePro Does Funny Money Thursday, April 4 4:00pm ET - Westside Extreme Wrestling 4:00pm ET - Destiny Wrestling 7:00pm ET - WrestleCon Supershow 8pm ET - DDT Pro Wrestling 11pm ET - IMPACT Wrestling - United We Stand 11:55pm ET - Kaiju Big Battel Friday, April 5 11:00am ET - WrestleCon US vs. The World 11am ET - SHIMMER 3:00pm ET - Rev Pro Wrestling 3:00pm ET - WWN Super Show - Mercury Rising 4:00pm ET - Stardom Japanese Women's Wrestling 8pm ET - J...
