2020/01/23

Drew McIntyre On Monday Night Raw Seemingly overnight, Drew McIntyre became a guy you'd like to get a pint with.

AEW Can Do Better Than The Dark Order

The Work Of Wrestling ·

2020/01/08

The Dark Order Of AEW "We're going to offer a sports-centric product that focuses on the athletes and work." With this statement, in May of 2019, Tony Khan set my expectations of All Elite Wrestling. I wish I had interpreted that statement as broadly as possible rather than immediately invest in the deeper implications of "sports-centric".

Watching Wrestling As A Fan (Not A Critic) In 2019

The Work Of Wrestling ·

2019/12/09

Rusev, Lana, and Bobby Lashley on Monday Night Raw Since the middle of October, I’ve been watching wrestling as a fan. Not a critic. No podcasts, Facebook posts, or articles on the subject.

And while I do have some nice things to say, they’re so few and lacking in passion that I’m not inclined to say them. What I’ve
