**Spoilers** Pro Wrestling Crate February 2019 Review

I just received my Pro Wrestling Crate for February 2019. Just going to quickly review what was in the crate. Obviously, there will be spoilers. So, if you do not want to be spoiled, stop now.







Here's a picture of the crate itself




The Theme of the Pro Wrestling Crate this month was "For The Love of Hearts, It's Valentine's Day" Crate. This Month's Charity: Owen Hart Foundation. 

I didn't know this before getting the crate, but I'm even more glad now that I realize a portion of the proceeds went to a foundation named after such a talented legend. Long Live The King of Harts In Our Hearts.



Speaking of Harts, here's Owen's big brother Bret in the first T-Shirt for this Crate





The second shirt is for NXT (WWE) star Johnny Gargano.




OW! Have Mercy! It's a Dude Love Pin!





And with this, I officially have completed The Golden Lovers. It's a Kota Ibushi Micro Brawler!




For all of us fans that love Bruce Prichard's Something to Wrestle Podcast, this is an awesome get: A "These Used To Be Over" Brother Love Fanny Pack.



This month's DVD: A Shoot Interview with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart. (I'm currently watching this while typing this review. It's a half hour in, and it's already worth the money alone for the DVD. Jimmy talks 55mph, as per usual. And it's living up to expectations.



Finally, an autograph from a man Jimmy Hart managed for many years: Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.





Overall, I give this a definite thumbs up. It really is an awesome crate that Pro Wrestling Tees is able to put out every month with the quality of legends/current talent involved. For me personally, one of my favorite shirts I wear is the "Hart Foundation" shirt they released in a crate last year. The Bruce Prichard Fanny Pack is absolutely hilarious, especially if you are a fan of the podcast. The Jimmy Hart Shoot Interview has already entertained the hell out of me. And how can you thumb your nose at an autograph from one of the all-time great technicians in the ring in Greg "The Hammer" Valentine?

I've already subscribed for next month's crate. You should too. Go to prowrestlingcrate.com and get 20% off your first crate today.


Until next time, take care of yourselves. Spread some awesomeness.

WWE Evolution Predictions + Thoughts on An Underpromoted All-Women PPV

Credit: WWE WWE Evolution Promotional Poster This should feel like a bigger deal. After all, this is the first time ever that an All-Women PPV is taking place under the WWE corporate umbrella. But WWE has done a great job of completely killing the show with an uninspired card, lack of promotion, lack of interest overall, and finding a million different other things to promote to undermine the event. Still, some fans (like myself) want to give the women their due and hope to enjoy this show. Here's a rundown of the card and my predictions for each match: 1) Raw Women's Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nikki Bella If this goes longer than 5 minutes, it's definitely too long. As good as Nikki can be in the ring (at times), Rousey should just absolutely massacre her. The only ways to prolong this match in a realistic way would be 1) an injury angle or 2) Twin Magic with Brie interfering. Otherwise, this should be short and awesome. Prediction: Ronda Retains 2)

WWE TLC 2018 Review- Tables and Ladders and Chairs, Oh My!  

        HERE WE GO!    Pre-Show   1) WWE Cruiserweight Championship   Buddy Murphy (champ) vs. Cedric Alexander   They started this match early. Apparently, they wanted just as many fans in the arena as there usually are in 205 Live matches for this to give it the authentic feel.   The bell rings. A lot of tie-ups and switches to start up the match to a good reaction from the crowd. A Loud 205 Chant. Alexander takes down Murphy to the floor. Really good back and forth action here with both men moving quickly. Alexander catches Murphy with a dropkick for a 2 count. BIG KNEE to the head of Alexander sends him to the floor. Murphy flies off the top rope and hits a Meteora (maybe that’s what they were going for?) for a 2 count. Murphy has the advantage for a few moments, including a power choke on the corner on Alexander. He jumps off it to eat a SUPERKICK to the chest. Crowd seems invested in the match. That’s a good sign.

UnWrest Focus REWIND: Vader vs. Cactus Jack (WCW Halloween Havoc, 10/24/1993)

Spin the Wheel, Make The Deal. That was the gimmick going into this iconic match between two of the hardest hitting wrestlers of all time. It was the storyline months in development: Cactus Jack had just returned after Vader mauled him with a battery of injuries and a concussion to get his revenge. Vader, a merciless monster who delivers pain and punishment to all his vicitms, faced Cactus Jack, the one guy who would take Vader's assault and like the orphan Annie would ask for more. And if Vader wanted to brawl, no one could take Vader's offense and return it in spades quite like Cactus Jack. So, WCW billed the match as "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal." The idea being that the actual stipulation of the match would be determined on Halloween Havoc by the spin of a big wheel. (If only wrestling could take the "Big Wheel" from The Price is Right. And of course, we'd have to make sure it goes all the way around.) So, the wheel landed that night on a Texas D
