It hasn’t been for a lack of talent with names like Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa, Toni…

  • Pac – A Bastard for all times

    On Sunday, September 27, 2026, the wrestling world lost one of the most beloved performers and people with the sudden and tragic passing of Benjamin Satterly, better known to fans as Pac in AEW, Dragon Gate, and the independents or as Adrian Neville in WWE.

  • The Butcher – The wrestler who personified AEW in 2024

    At the end of 2023, All Elite Wrestling had been through the PR ringer and then some. The grand bet of CM Punk imploded twice in as public a manner as possible between ‘Brawl Out’ in 2022 and ‘Brawl In’ in 2023, leading to Punk’s public firing. There was no shortage of other PR problems…

  • WWE is in its WCW 2000 Era….And it could still get worse

    Forced celebrity involvement, unneeded breaking of the 4th wall, and uninspired, repetitive, and questionable storytelling. Is this describing WCW in the year 2000 or WWE in the year 2026, or both? The final calendar year of WCW’s existence was a rough year for the company that only a few years earlier was on top of…
