John Jay Wins Match of Runs Versus Rye
Please see tip, pledge and subscribe buttons or my venmo is @Rich-Monetti After John Jay wrestlers jumped out to a 24-0 lead, Rye scored 15 straight to get within range. Of course, the heart of the Wolf lineup was on deck, and there seemed little cause for concern. But Austin Omin, Jojo Kern and Jake Llanos all had their hands full, and the visitors proved nothing in this sport is a gimme.

Jake Paul and Logan Paul Just Shook the Internet
The internet just lost its mind again. Jake Paul and Logan Paul, the brothers who turned YouTube antics into million-dollar combat sports careers, dropped a cryptic bombshell on social media. A head-to-head face-off. The HBO Max logo. A date that’s closing in fast. No context, no details, just a bold promise—the moment you’ve waited a decade for.

Super Bowl 2025 And Why Everyone Is Mad
You could almost feel the collective groan ripple through the internet. The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are headed to Super Bowl 2025, and if you thought fans were thrilled, you’d be wildly off the mark. Instead of excitement, the announcement unleashed a flood of memes, rants, and outright jokes across social media. Love it or hate it, this is the kind of chaos that only sports fandom can deliver.

The Story is Complete
You always remember your first, and this one is simply unforgettable. It can be said that this was nearly two years in the making, ever since Cody Rhodes returned to WWE. It can also be said that this was at least a decade and a half in the making, ever since Cody's WWE career began. I think Cody Rhodes himself would have said that this dream started long before he was even born.

Becky Lynch's Road to the Grand Slam
In every wrestling promotion, the Grand Slam Championship honor is one of the most prestigious honors ever, because it involves winning every relevant championship in existence. Out of all of the promotions, World Wrestling Entertainment is the only one that has Grand Slam Championships for the men and the women, and regarding the latter, the Women's Grand Slam (established in 2019) consists of the Raw Women's Championship (now known as the Women's World Championship), the SmackDown Women's Championship (now known as the WWE Women's Championship), the NXT Women's Championship, and the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

The bout was hotly contested and actually combined two feuds in NXT's Women's Division, as Kiana was feuding with Gigi, while Roxanne and Blair had a heated feud after the latter was revealed as the mysterious villainess behind a series of attacks on NXT's Women's Division, including Roxanne.

CM Punk: It's Always Something
I've been wrestling (no pun intended) with writing this piece for the better part of a year. I have my reasons. One of them is because I didn't want to waste (at least) 600 words on such a toxic human being. So for a while, I wasn't going to write about this. However, after his latest incident, I had to do it, mainly to call out Punk's bullshit, but also to serve as a long and drawn out "I told you so" to anyone who actually supported Punk's return to AEW earlier this year.

Top 5 Favorite Bray Wyatt Moments
This really, really hurts. The wrestling world, wrestling fans, and everyone affected felt the terrible heartbreak of the news that broke a day prior: Bray Wyatt suddenly passed away at the tender age of 36. The eldest offspring of Mike Rotunda (aka Irwin R. Schuyster), Windham Rotunda was born on May 23, 1987 in Brooksville, Florida, and it was in 2009 that he delved into the family business of wrestling. He was part of a vast collection of third-generation wrestlers, as his maternal grandfather was the legendary Blackjack Mulligan. In addition, his uncles were wrestlers Barry and Kendall Windham, and Bray wasn't the only one in his generation to enter the ring, as his younger brother, Taylor Rotunda, joined WWE as Bo Dallas.

A Look Back: The John Cena/Edge Rivalry (Part II: 2009)
When we last left these two legends, they had fought in a steel cage match to end their feud at that time. What has happened with Edge and John Cena since then? Well, Edge would be part of Rated RKO with Randy Orton, and hold the World Tag Team Championship twice, and 2007 would see him capture the Money in the Bank briefcase from Mr. Kennedy, and then cash in on The Undertaker to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. Edge would surrender the title due to injury, but after returning at Survivor Series, he would regain the title at Armageddon, and would spend 2008 in a big feud with The Undertaker, which saw Edge regain the title he lost to Taker at WrestleMania. Edge would add two more runs as WWE Champion after his feud with Taker ended.

A Look Back: The John Cena/Edge Rivalry (Part I: 2006)
On the August 18, 2023 episode of SmackDown, WWE Hall of Famer Edge was celebrated in his hometown of Toronto, as the evening marked the observed 25th anniversary of the beginning of his WWE career. I've seen a lot from Edge in his career, but I cannot help but basically obsess over what I consider his greatest rivalry: the one with John Cena. I had been planning to write about this for a long time, and during that time, the plan was to split this up into two parts, because I am very detailed and can pretty much describe this bit-by-bit. Plus, the stories differed in each half of this amazing feud.

Stating the Obvious: Tony Khan is a Toxic Enabler
I just had to write about this. I had to. Other wrestling fans reading this know why. You've all heard about it. However, the main part of this story will be saved for later, I promise. Because of that, and everything else I've seen, I've come to a conclusion: Tony Khan is a big time enabler. The evidence is right in front of us, but first, an introduction.
