    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 20 This show is weird because at the time I was delighted with the ending of this show but now 20 years later it's a much different emotion watching Eddie and Benoit celebrate with the belts. Their matches on this show are outstanding, it felt like the perfect crowning moment of...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 28 You know you're off to a bad start when a very average six minute women's tag team match is the best match of the opening hour. The Sheamus title win was shocking but not in a good way, I'd rather have Orton/Kane get the shock if you need to save time for Taker/HHH - which is...

    What are you listening to now?

    Quite the temptation at 11am on a Wednesday morning.

    Melbourne Made's WWE

    Don't put so much pressure on yourself; write for the joy of it and book for the joy of it. Everyone is different but I have historic issues with struggling to maintain output or interest in a project, so I spent a month mapping out my storylines, booking myself ahead, and getting into a...

    What Are You Watching Now?

    WrestleMania 20 - Van Dam's frogsplash got one of the biggest pops of the entire night. You can try and book this man into tag team oblivion but he'll still end up super over.

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 7 I feel truly vindicated in my decision to not start FROM THE BEGINNING after watching this sprawling mess of a show. It's wild because the opener (Rockers vs Haku/Barbarian w/ Heenan) is solid enough and the crowd is absolutely amped up all night (they help a lot), but so many of...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 34 The production quality here is phenomenal. All three guys for the opener IC Title Match (Balor v Miz vs Seth) looked amazing coming down, and the visual of Balor's against the backdrop of the crowd was out of this world. The match was pretty good followed by one of my favourite...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 24 The first Mania I watched last year when deciding I'd give wrestling another chance. It certainly wasn't the best show to do it, but it was a middling show without too much bad, and with a lot of good, and two really good matches. Finlay/JBL is fine as an opener, the MITB is...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania 13 There is something to be said for watching some of these storyline travesties out of context. Namely that I can just experience the match for what it is. Although the massive caveat there is that this show is full of poorly booked and poorly wrestled matches, with only two good...

    WrestleMania Rewatch

    WrestleMania Rewatch! I was an ardent fan of the business from the mid 90's until the 2000's and then after the InVasion, the debacle that was NWATNA, and prioritising drinking over buying tapes from the indies (My sister actually saved them all from when my mum passed and surprised me with...

    WWE 2008: The Next Generation

    Ctrl and + is my recommendation to ya, probably around 120%. I played with the format and display for a while and this was my favourite as it doesn't look too clunky with big blocks of text, but it also looks fairly 'clean'. I think TV shows are somewhere between 5k and 7k word count so trying...

I smell a big-time swerve~! where we only end up having nine matches. All of...

    WCW/ECW 2001 and Beyond - The Alliance Lives

    OKAY! I've been working my way through this on/off for a couple of weeks as there is a lot of content here - but now you've got the belt on Hogan (and I'm on page 15 of 17) I feel I can delve into the more recent shows. Also, love the recap after the PPV with all the previous results and title...
