Retrospective Recap…WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2008 (Wii)

I don’t think I’m alone when I say that I miss the days of Smackdown Vs Raw. The last few years of the WK games have been awful. Glitch infested- rush jobs. I can’t remember the last good one I played (but maybe we will come across it in this series) The problem with any game of yesteryear is the

Wrestling Action Figure Collecting… The Figlife

Are those for Noah? My friend Amy points towards a small shelf above my desk which holds a handful of wrestling figures and the (boxed) Retro ring. Ah…ha. Erm No. Those are mine I splutter, rather sheepishly. Huh… And thus begins the discussion of wrestling action figure fandom, history and collectability. Originally, I was going to do a ‘history of…’

Looking Back at the WWF vs WCW Invasion (Part One)

With recent events going on in WWE with NXT invading both Raw and Smackdown and the timing of my vintage viewings has reaching the summer of 2001.

Wrestling Nonsense: Top 3 Celebrity Deathmatch Wins

1) Bigfoot Vs Loch Ness Monster Season 1, Episode 3 Before the internet, we had to rely on actual books (shout out to Tales of the Unexplained) to learn about mythical creatures. At 10 years old I was fascinated by the subject & as with most things, schoolyard discussions would inevitably lead to ‘who would win between…’ arguments. Little did

Wrestling Nonsense: WWE Nitro Sprints by Playmates

Wrestling merchandise is some of the most bizarre merch, of any fandom…ever. From as early as I can remember company after company has released the most ridiculous stuff to ever pass approval.

Live Thoughts from AEW Fyter Fest

  Having been to wrestling events of all kinds over the last 25 years, I was more than a little curious about AEW’s second show. While overall the night was fantastic, there were a few live event hiccups that I’m sure hindered some people’s experiences and I’m guessing translated to TV (haven’t had a chance to watch it back yet).
