Are Star Ratings Ruining YOUR WWE & AEW Experience?
It's inevitable—star ratings in professional wrestling will always stir up conversations, debates, and sometimes, heated arguments. Today, we're diving into the world of star ratings, specifically those handed out by Dave Meltzer and other prominent figures in the wrestling community. But this isn’t just about Meltzer’s opinions or whether you agree with them—this is about the broader picture, about how we, as fans, perceive and discuss wrestling.

Transformers One
Okay so after having to sit through Rise of the Beast I was absolutely not looking forward to Transformers One. However I am very happy to say that I was 100% wrong. Transformers One was visually beautiful, emotionally compelling and narratively captivating. It joins the ranks of animated films this year that are personal Oscar contenders. Now I was watching this as a complete laymen, I know nothing of transformers lore. Luckily I went with my husband who does know the history. So this review comes from the viewpoint of a regular movie goer and a fan of the IP.

Renaissance Festival War Stories September 21-22, 2024
Continued from weekend 5... We are down to the penultimate weekend. We are getting tired, but still love what we do. There is an odd mix coming of 'I'm ready for it to be over' vs 'I don't want it to be over.' We keep moving forward, we have no other choice.

The Reckoning of 'Mr. McMahon' Vince Told Us Who He Was Years Ago, We Didn't Listen
“When someone tells you who they are, believe them.” - Maya Angelou. While I am sorry to bring Maya Angelou into a conversation about Vince McMahon, the vile, loathsome, egotistical founder of the WWE, her quote is too perfect not to mention in relation to a man who wants to disconnect his personal and professional personas but has done a remarkably poor job of that. For many, many years, Vince McMahon appeared on his nationally broadcast television programs and told us exactly who he was, a greedy, misogynistic, creep who rode a wave of depravity to the top of his particular industry.

Agatha All Along
The first two episodes of Agatha All Along were a huge hit. The internet has been singing Down the Witches Road for a week now and it is safe to say that we are all obsessed with this phenomenal cast. The show has done an incredible job of setting up the individual stories as well as the big group dynamic. The pacing has been great and the show is a great time. We last left with the newly formed coven opening the door to the witches road and stepping inside. This was of course after Teen was freaked out by the Salem Seven. So here we go with the third episode of Agatha All Along.
