A Bit of Wrestling Disappointment

On a whim and an invitation from my brother, I joined him and a friend and watched Wrestlemania. This year, Wrestlemania was split into two 4-hour events, spread over the weekend. So we had day one and day two. However, we watched Wrestlemania in one go, watching it on the WWE network. Which meant we could skip over all the long, non-wrestling-y bits, and avoid the cringey adverts. Overall, it was fun, but I was left with a bit of disappointment. I’m putting a spoiler warning here. Wrestlemania concluded a couple of days before I wrote this article, and some… [Continue Reading]

One Wrestler Every 90 Seconds

I’ve always been a casual fan of wrestling. I don’t actually follow it, but I’ll watch the odd match on Youtube now and then. But there is one event that I always try to see, and that is the Royal Rumble. It’s a massive event that leads down the road to Wrestlemania, the actual biggest wrestling event of the year. Personally though, out of the big events, I have always preferred the Royal Rumble. It’s not hard to see why. The Royal Rumble has lots of people fighting together in one go. The rules for a royal rumble match are… [Continue Reading]

A Random Wrestling Article

I have always kinda liked wrestling. While most people just shrug it off as nothing but a fancy show, that doesn’t mean that wrestling is all bad. If anything, I think it’s more of an acquired taste. And that’s okay, because not everything is geared towards everyone. If you don’t like wrestling, you can always watch something else. There is definitely some nuance when it comes to wrestling. And some storytelling. And a lot of acting. It takes genuine skill though to throw someone into a table without killing them. The fancier matches are fun, but so are the normal… [Continue Reading]

Rambling On About A Wrestling Match

I’m not really a fan of wrestling. It’s a bit of silly fun, as far as I’m concerned. The testosterone-fueled equivalent of a soap opera. You’ve got plots, drama and iffy acting, combined with near-naked men fighting each other. Yeah, sure, it’s not really a sport, but it’s entertaining. Just requires a suspension of your disbelief. We do it all the time for movies and video games, and wrestling is no different. Personally, I’m not that into it. I mean, I’ll watch a wrestling match if I’m told that it’s “cool” or “awesome” or something like that. While I wouldn’t… [Continue Reading]

On Summer Slam 2018 and Wrestling Entertainment

Why the fuck did I stay up until 6:15am to watch a fricking Pay Per View wrestling show? Probably because my brother asked nicely, and he said this one would be fun. This one being Summer Slam 2018, with a bunch of pretty standard fights and a lot of belts and rivalries that needed sorting out. I didn’t actually pay for it, mind you. There’s a €10 a month subscription to the WWE network and it lets you watch pretty much any wrestling match from the WWE ever. Frankly, that’s a pretty good deal if you like wrestling as much… [Continue Reading]
