A Look at the Final Four in the Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament
One of the best moments in WWE in 2024 was the long overdue announcement of midcard titles for their women's division.

All Elite Virtuosa: Reviewing Deonna Purrazzo's Official AEW Debut
First off, I want to say, "It's been five years already?!" It seems like yesterday that this, All Elite Wrestling, was a pipe dream, but it's been around for five years now. This past Monday marked the fifth anniversary of the birth of AEW, which came on midnight on January 1, 2019. After airing only pay-per-views, AEW's flagship show, Dynamite, hit network television on October 2, 2019, and in the time that has passed, we've seen AEW make their mark during the first few months, thrive during a worldwide pandemic, and stay strong as the lead counterpart to World Wrestling Entertainment.

The Amazing Career of Suzanne Somers
One day after we received the news that Piper Laurie, the legendary actress best remembered for originating the role of the title character's mother in Carrie, passed away at 91, we received more heartbreak from the acting world. Suzanne Somers passed away just one day short of her 77th birthday, after a battle with breast cancer that spanned over two decades. Somers was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer back in 2000, with the illness returning this summer.

A Look Back at WWE's Faulty Booking of Their Women's Division at WrestleMania 29
I remember the build to WrestleMania 29 like it was yesterday, but it was actually 10 years ago. Hard to believe that a decade prior, WWE had so many potential ideas for women's matches, and I mean, so many. Yet they went from a lot of options, to one announced match, to literally nothing. Granted, there are still a lot of mistakes that WWE had made regarding the women, but at least they have still come quite a few ways since this debacle 10 years ago. Enough talk. Let's get to what was planned (rumored or otherwise).

Stating the Obvious: WWE Doesn't Respect Women's Wrestling
You know, I wasn't intending on writing about this. I was intent on just venting about this privately to fellow wrestling fans and letting it go. However, with the Royal Rumble closing in, and the more I think about this, it just makes me angrier and angrier. So the latest edition of Raw was their 30th anniversary special, which was titled, Raw is XXX. Now, when Raw is a big, special, celebratory episode, I look forward to it, because of so many big things happening. The thing I get excited for the most is, of course, the women's wrestling alums. Take 2019's Raw Reunion for example. Now, I did read some criticism against the show, but I was happy with it because of the female legends who appeared: WWE Hall of Famer Alundra Blayze, and former champions Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, and Melina (my all time favorite).

Reviewing Charlotte Flair's Return on SmackDown
I spent weeks looking forward to the final SmackDown of 2022, and the reason can be summed up in two words: John Cena. It was announced earlier this month that Cena would return on the aforementioned edition of SmackDown, and it was two weeks prior that Cena stated that he would do so as Kevin Owens' partner against Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn, which (of course) would serve as the show's main event (as well as WWE's final televised match of 2022).

Reviewing Vanessa Aspillaga's Pair of Cold-Blooded Villainesses
When I started watching Hulu's Only Murders in the Building on the day it premiered, I was elated to see (among other actors) Vanessa Aspillaga on the series. Aspillaga plays Ursula, the manager of the Arconia building, on the show, having appeared in nine episodes so far. The reason why I was so happy to see Aspillaga on the show is simple: I had seen her play a pair of very captivating villainesses on other shows. This review covers both of Aspillaga's villainous roles, and they are as follows:

Villainess Review: Petra (Destroyer)
This week, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law hits Disney+, and it's a show I've been heavily looking forward to for a long time. I am a huge fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and have been since it began with the theatrical release of Iron Man on May 2, 2008, but the #1 reason why I'm excited for She-Hulk comes in the from of just two words: Tatiana Maslany. I'm a huge fan of Tatiana Maslany, and honestly, the fandom began when I saw promos to a show I still have yet to see: Orphan Black. Maslany played a plethora of different characters on the hit BBC America series, and regarding her other work, I did see Maslany on an episode of the short-lived Canadian series, Cracked, as Haley Coturno, a teenage girl who was revealed to be abducted by the woman who raised her.
