Rivalries between wrestling fans is nothing new since it has existed since its inception of such, but there should be a line that should never be crossed as it might affect our favorite wrestlers who put their bodies on the line for our enjoyment on a weekly basis. Competition is always significant as it is essentially what makes things better due to how different companies want to be better than the other, thus the same happens with wrestling as the likes of AEW, WWE, and NJPW (to name a few) try to have a product that the audience will like.…
Lasting legacies that stand the test of time in a positive are very hard to obtain, they can take many years to establish and mistakes along the way can end them in an instant. When you look at the history of professional wrestling, there are few performers that had as big of an impact on the wrestling business for almost 50 years like the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Often called one of if not the GOAT amongst fans for his matches in this business and his sheer status as an icon in this business. There are very few performers that…
I seriously adore Thunder Rosa since her NWA days, her passion for wrestling is noticeable while her character development continues to grow with each feud she has throughout various promotions. When AEW bought Rosa’s NWA contract I was intrigued because she would finally have the chance to show her talents to a wider audience, and it should be said that she more than surpassed expectations with feuds against the likes of Britt Baker where she proved to be one of the best women in the AEW roster has. I had always said that Thunder Rosa was destined to beat Britt…

“If you’re not trying to be heavyweight champion, then you’re in the wrong business” – Stone Cold Steve Austin This is a quote that one of if not the biggest draw in the history of the business and a 6-time WWF Champion, WWE HOFamer, Stone Cold Steve Austin has said multiple times over the years. What I believe Austin meant by that is typically the world champion is the wrestler that shows strong drive, motivation and dedication to the business and your craft. You are willing to put in the time and the effort and be the leader of the…
Now before I get any hate for this, I asked that you hear me out. It is undeniable that Matt Cardona has had the best 2-year run of any of the wrestlers that were released by WWE in 2020. From a guy that was constantly called Mid-Cardona and many wrestlers, fans and WWE corporate writing him off as someone that could never amount to anything above the mid-card, he has been showing the world he is more than their vision of him. I wrote an article a few months ago, that Cardona’s WWE release was probably the best thing that could…
