New column from yours truly!

Taking advantage of the young blood in a wrestling promotion's system can pay dividends.

Yes, the stars of old can be cool for nostalgia purposes, but what about cultivating the future?

I dig into this in my lates for the Wrestling Observer.

Everybody crashing out about Jey Uso, Samoa Joe, or Hangman is missing the fact that in the 1930s, wealthy American bankers tried a fascist coup to usurp FDR, using Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler (yes, Smedley).

He exposed them, but nothing else came of the situation. Everyone moved on.

Here is my official stance on everything:

There should be more good things and less bad things.

I've been reading "The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling," and I know it ends around 2018, but I think it would be cool if there were a sequel or continuation that covered the next several years.

Like, maybe in 2028, they could revisit it because so, so much has happened.

I see a lot of Hangman/Joe discourse still going on, when we should all be talking about the real topic: the fact that Mr. Freeze is objectively the most compelling Batman villain.

I applaud the Smiling Friends creative team for not making a "I'm not even supposed to be here!" reference for its special cameo.

New blog post! Join me as I try to make sense of something called a "double jeopardy match" and well ... try to make sense in general of the final ECW November to Remember.

What's a double jeopardy match? You're guess is as good as mine.

A few things about last night - because of KOR’s health I always worry especially about him when he cuts a gusher.

I love Hangman as a champion & he had a great redemption story & while I am sad to see him lose, I also adore Joe. I mean Joe is terrifying & great!
