  1. ThinkSoJoE’s Thoughts: Making WWE better

    Leave a Comment

    Last night, yours truly was at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, attending a live broadcast of the flagship show of the biggest wrestling company on the planet – and my wife was falling asleep from boredom.  I’m surprised I wasn’t as well.

    That’s not to say that WWE RAW was bad last night.  At least, not compared to most other weeks.  The problem isn’t that RAW was boring last night.  It’s that RAW is boring every week.

    So how do we fix this?

  2. NXT 06/20/12: Full Sail University Season Debut!

    2 Comments

    NXT has been relaunched, albeit not on television in the US. But I’m Canadian, so why should I care? I’m like Bret Hart, after all, a Calgarian… a heel in the States and a face EVERYWHERE else. But this isn’t about me, it’s about this new version of NXT, after all. I’m not even supposed to be here today, so let’s hop to it… shall we?


    Love it! It’s a reboot!

  3. G’s Stampede Wrestling “Classic”

    1 Comment

    I don’t know if six years ago constitutes a “classic,” per say. However, with the Superbowl being a week prior, it occurred to me that there has been an off-and-on again revival of Stampede Wrestling.

    Today’s match took place on September 15, 2006 during the half time CFL matchup between the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Calgary Stampeders (the Rock’s former club). It is outside, under a veiled night sky… and because it’s Canada, it’s snowing/sleeting at negative three degrees Celsius.

    Our bout for the North American Heavyweight Championship: Apocalypse {C} versus TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd of WWE). While the footage is a little blurry (in part due to the weather), it’s an interesting watch. The two grapplers deal with the adverse ring conditions, trying not to slip on the icy canvas… and I don’t think I’ve ever seen an outdoor match anything like this. Enjoy!

  4. Smackdown: 08/26/11 Seat Filler Diary 3

    5 Comments

    On Tuesday, the WWE trucks pulled into Calgary to tape Smackdown. Once again, I had the privilege to be a seat filler and temporary WWE staff member. I will break down the episode as it appears on TV, and live in person. I will also comment on my third consecutive opportunity to be a seat filler.

    A special thanks to pintnoir who covered Impact Wrestling for our sites this week! Let’s get to it, shall we?
