AEW All Out 2021 preview and predictions

It’s the first week of September, you know what that means! It’s time for AEW’s biggest show, All Out . Not only is it the biggest show they’ve ever run, or their most important, but it has a real chance to shift the wrestling world in a way we haven’t seen in a couple decades. […]

It’s time for the yearly CM Punk rumors, but this one might be a little more concrete

This has been wrestling Ahab’s quest for seven years now. He is the white whale, if the white whale had Living Colour playing wherever he went. Which probably would have made him way easier to find, and been a much easier book to read. But I prattle on, and we’re not here in order to […]

Cody Rhodes needs to f*** off more than anyone has ever f***** off in the history of f****** off

I should start all this with some boulder-sized caveats. Cody Rhodes is responsible for something a lot of us wrestling fans never thought we’d see, and that’s a genuine alternative to WWE on regular TV. Cody basically started AEW on a bar bet. He also is responsible for me becoming aware of companies and wrestling… […]

Britt Baker match finally gives AEW a signature moment in its women’s division

For the past few weeks, or months, the frustration with AEW among some fans had begun to be unavoidable. The ignoring or dismissal of the women’s division was becoming too much, and it was impossible to watch an episode of “Dynamite” and not count the segments that could have, and should have, been replaced by […]
