Hell in a Cell is dead. It's over. Done. Oh, it isn't going away. The brand name still has juice in it and casuals are aware. But the awe of it - the anticipation - is fully dead. I truly believe that. This is the PPV that gave us Mankind flying off the Hell in … Continue reading One “Hell” Of An Awful Ending

One Last (Screw)Job: Vince, HBK, Bret & The Final Act of Kayfabe
Ocean's Eleven is one of the best action/heist movies of the 2000's. With George Clooney and Brad Pitt in their prime, it was funny, fast-paced and entertaining all the way through.

Backlash 2000 & The Art of Comeuppance
Let's admit it: Most of the time we're secretly rooting for the bad guy to win.
Shane-O-Mac: The Best In The World…Literally
It's not real heat, it's X-Pac heat, they say. Shane McMahon is awful. Shane McMahon is boring. How does WWE not see this?!
WWE’s Greatest Problem? Vince Hired the Wrong GM
Vince McMahon came out to Monday Night Raw, early in 2019, along with his family (Stephanie, Shane-o-Mac and Triple H) and declared that after Baron Corbin tanked the ratings as GM [honestly hysterical to blame your company failings on a fictional character], there would be a new GM in charge. That GM has made a ton of God-awful decisions, causing ratings to completely nosedive, apathetic crowds, and 20th Century FOX to go into a full-on panic.
