That Hennig vs. Eaton match on Monday Nitro in February 1998...man, it's just... weirdly perfect . A sub-three-minute snapshot of a very specific, and frankly, bizarre era of wrestling. You had Meng and Barbarian beating each other up, Sting and Luger teaming up, and Goldberg just crushing someone to kick things off. But for me, it…

Raven in ECW: Squeaky Desk promo
Okay, let me tell you about a wrestling promo that's stuck with me for years. It's Raven ( Scott Levy ) in ECW, doing his " Brooding weirdo with a cool jacket " thing, and it's a masterclass in character work, if you ask me. So, picture this: Raven, ultra cool, brooding, almost gothic character, sits at an old, very uncom…

John Cena's Heel Turn: A Fresh Take on a Legend's Farewell
I've been watching wrestling for a long time, and I've seen countless legends come and go. I once thought Undertaker retiring Shawn Micheals was the best send off..Then he returned for a Saudi show a few years later. Shawn Super Kicking Ric Flair into retirement was amazing...But Flair later signed to TNA, and couldn't stay ou…

Lets run it back: "Speedball" Mike Bailey vs Roderick Strong
Alright, so "Speedball" Mike Bailey is officially AEW bound( caught the teaser on their YouTube Channel this morning ), and let me tell you, I'm hyped. He's already tangled with some current AEW talent, and now that he's signed, I'm dreaming of the rematches. Seriously, these have potential "match of the year…

The Virtua World of Wrestling: Pop-up cutter
Previous installments of this series saw the use of 2 very unique and modern moves. One being used by a Guy who was given a terrible stuttering gimmick in one company, and allowed to shine later on in another around the likes of Sting and Kurt Angle. The other being fodder for a neat series of matches that were supposed to be possible thr…

NXT Ricky with the good hair: Name and gimmick ideas for Future WWE Champ Ricky Starks

The Virtua World of Wrestling: Go To Sleep
The biggest travesty with Punk's messy departure from AEW is that we never got to see him feud with KENTA. Before I go any further into that dream match never having a chance of happening, I just wanna mention that Jeffry McWild has always been a low key cool character trapped behind a bland design. He's a fisherman who got his boa…

The Virtua World of Wrestling: Hellavator
With Virtua Fighter 5 getting a rerelease, and VF6 being actively worked on while long time fans collectively lose their shit over this being for real, I've decided to check up on the series through random tournaments and character specific move videos. One thing I always loved about Virtua Fighter is the different Professional wrestl…

5 Things I learned from watching New Japan's Wrestle Dynasty
As a long time rasslin' fan, I should point out the importance of staying out of the drama loop online. There was some controversy due to one of the commentators on this show working themselves up into a shoot, brother ! I don't have any skin in the game, so all that drama is worthless to me. I'm geeked over the working relatio…
