    ~BTB of the Month~ The World Wrestling Federation: The Montreal Fallout

    WWF RAW is WAR - August 3, 1998: I had a real blast reading this last month. I don’t know if it’s because I had such a loveletter connection to the period in an old project I wrote ten years ago when I was coming up to leaving school, or whether I’m thinking ahead for the Federation Years at...

    Extreme Championship Wrestling by Stojy

    ECW Hardcore TV - December 23, 2000: The best thing about booking and writing for ECW television is the sweet abbreviated format made possible with the Hardcore TV show. Not only that, but it provides a great opportunity for a lot of creativity. The magazine-style format really did cater...

    WCW/ECW 2001 and Beyond - The Alliance Lives

    ECW RISE - December 5, 2002: I’ve not been in touch for a little while, so I’ll go off of the past week of television. It really is a fascinating dimension we’re in, where there is no World Wrestling Federation. It would be extraordinarily curious to see the state of the industry outside of...

After their 'Toughman Contest' last month was delayed, rulebreakers "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Man They Call Vader go to war, one-on-one! Who will be named the baddest of the bad? Eight days on from...

    World Wrestling Federation: It's SHOWTIME

    WWF King of the Ring 1993 - June 13, 1993: I've been eagerly looking forward to this card after briefly spanning all of the different chapters leading up to it. The King of the Ring tournament was always one of my favorite shows of the year. I had the DVD for this show when I was young, so I've...

    Total Nonstop Action by Tig

    TNA Against All Odds - February 28, 2010: Very fascinating presentation to this post, derived from the Bleacher Report articles that seemingly ran rampant during this time period. It was an interesting time for the industry, on the verge of becoming so deeply embedded in the social media...

    TNA 2024: Cross The Line

    Coming into 2024, TNA had such a plethora of diverse talent with topline potential, a prospering production and a decent creative. With the rebrand, while the return of the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling mantra was sure to be only a temporary buzzterm bringing back nostalgic fans, I believe that...

    WCW 1999: No Finger Poking Here Brother

    WCW/nWo Souled Out 1999 - January 17, 1999: I have very dodgy memories of this pay-per-view. I haven't been up to date since my last check-in, but from the offset with the major ThunderCage match in line, I've no question this will surpass those expectations. One just has to wonder who will do...

    WWE ~ Where It All Begins Again ~ RAW 4/19/04 ~

    WWE Monday Night RAW - April 5, 2004: I've been out of the loop since my last check-in, but am curious where we've got with the build towards Backlash this Sunday. I think the formatting for these shows are solid. They remind me a lot of the writing style and layout I used to adapt before I...

    WWF/E 2002: A Ruthless Reset

    WWF RAW - January 28, 2002: Coming off of the Royal Rumble, this week looks promising for you as a booker heading towards No Way Out. A few notes from Sunday Night Heat, it's evident you have plans for Goldust coming away from a contested win over Perry Saturn. I think the problem still...

    The Hogan Effect

    The story of Hulk Hogan joining TNA Wrestling has often been tried and experimented with. I'm very intrigued on the prospects from the offset, and am hoping we are able to stick with an environment more closely resembling of TNA than what Hogan and Eric Bischoff did to it, removing all of the...

    Ring of Honor: The Rebirth

    Ring of Honor #1 - May 7, 2022: I'm glad to see this take shape, and stay true to what really captured the essence of Ring of Honor in its' hey day. A smaller and intimate crowd made for a great setting with a larger-than-life reaction to the moves and characters, even if you could have shot...

    AWA 1989: A Financial Savior Is (Badly) Needed

    AWA Wrestling on ESPN - November, Week 4, 1990: A quick note, but I really got a kick out of the article posted informing us that AWA would be leaving Minnesota in favor of Las Vegas. It's definitely a more fruitful location for a promotion soon to be back on the rise to prominence. It was very...

    WWE 2019: No Wildcards

    WWE Monday Night RAW - November 9, 2020: It's been a little while since I was last able to check in with this, so let's see where we're at on the road to Survivor Series. I always did love to write for Drew McIntyre as WWE Champion, and this promo did the trick in establishing his issues with...
