About Me

About Me:
I am a 26-year long wrestling fan who has been following the wrestling industry as a fan. Initially, I was just a die-hard wrestling fan; I cheered the bad guys, booed the bad guys, and followed both WWE and WCW during the height of the Monday Night Wars of the 1990s. As my fandom evolved as I personally evolved, I continually started to question a lot of what happened in front of me. It's human nature to question, as consumers, what we actually are consuming. Is this good to me? What am I liking here? What am I not liking? In essence, we are all, in one aspect of our lives or another, an arm-chair quarterback. So, if someone says "You're nothing but an arm-chair quarterback," well, the answer is... Yep!
So, after all these years of watching wrestling, I have opinions about matches, events, decisions, and the general direction of wrestling companies in general. This will be a weekly post of my thoughts on what is happening. It is not meant to be all-encompassing; rather, it is just a review of the events that catch my attention and are worthy of posting about. There are going to be reviews of wrestling events on here weekly as I get a chance to watch them. I'm going to avoid the star rating system on a regular basis as I don't particularly think that matters from fan to fan. I'm going to simply try to tell you what I liked and what I really didn't like. If I ignore it, that means it didn't leave that much of an impression on me or didn't cause me to lose my mind.
I am also going to include weekly throwback matches for you to check out, which will be called "Rewind" matches. These aren't always going to be the cream that will rise to the top (OOOH YEAH). Rather, they will just be significant or fun matches that I think wrestling fans would appreciate.
This is starting off as a blog. If this blog becomes more popular, I may transition this into including a weekly podcast. I'm looking to start a journey, one I hope to have your support on. I welcome any constructive comments or feedback. And share this with your friends at will, especially your fellow wrestling fans.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you continue to follow along.

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 matc...

UnWrest Focus- Survivor Series: Team Cena vs. Team Authority (Survivor Series 2014)

A feud between those who abuse power and those who try to overcome their abuse. It's a classic storytelling trope that has been used time and time again throughout fiction and history. In 2014, that trope was brought back as The Authority looked to cement its power through their "Chosen One" Seth Rollins and his team. Meanwhile, John Cena and other disgruntled WWE employees sought to end the "Reign of Terror" of The Authority once and for all. Putting their jobs on the line, Team Cena hoped to get an opportunity to send Stephanie and Triple H away. However, fans didn't expect a traitor in the midst of Team Cena or the debut of the Franchise of WCW in a WWE ring. This is the latest edition of UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series, and it's going to be a memorable one at that. Let's do this! WWE Survivor Series 2014 11/23/14 Survivor Series Match Team Cena (John Cena, Big Show, Ryback, Erick Rowan, and Dolph Ziggler) vs. Team Authority (Seth Rollins, ...

UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series: Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels- "The Montreal Screwjob" (Survivor Series 1997)

Welcome to another edition of UnWrest Focus. For this edition, I'm going to be watching random classic moments from Survivor Series past. This can be traditional Survivor Series matches or classic moments from the Survivor Series event in general. And I'm starting this off with perhaps the most famous/infamous moment in the history of the event. It's 1997, and the WWF has its back against the wall. To make matters worse, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels aren't exactly seeing eye to eye and have had an on-air/off-air heated rivalry that has left both men trying to undermine the other. Around this time, WWF Champion Bret Hart signed a deal to leave WWF to go to WCW... at the request and urging of Vince McMahon who could not afford to pay Bret's contract or match the offer WCW was offering. But here's the problem: Vince wanted Bret to drop the title to Shawn Michaels in Montreal at Survivor Series. After some major back and forth negotiating and drama, the decision ...
