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.

UnWrest Focus- The Rock vs. Stone Cold at WrestleMania Part II- WrestleMania X-Seven

Welcome to the second of three posts looking at the epic rivalry between The Rock and Stone Cold at WrestleMania. This edition will look at the iconic encounter between the two at WrestleMania X-Seven. As previously mentioned on the first post, their encounter in 2001 was a culmination of different paths coming together to reunite a classic feud. While The Rock and Stone Cold had met at WrestleMania XV and Backlash in 1999, their next major epic match was not until this show. While the end of No Mercy 1999 hinted that these two and Triple H would be involved in a Triple Threat match, Stone Cold needed to get his neck surgery that he had put off for a couple years. While Austin went out for his neck surgery, the company turned to The Rock as the sole lead face on WWF programming. The Rock was the central attaction of WWF programming from 1999-2000 and helped the company maintain its position as the #1 wrestling promotion in the world. (WCW's own internal problems helped with that...

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!
