Best Moment of the Week: Braun Strowman Crashes the Party (RAW) With a chance to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam on the line, Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns went toe-to-toe in a hard-fought scrum that was definitely the match of the night on Monday. The two behemoths were throwing each other all over the place and made the main event spectacular in their own right before Braun even showed up. That said, when Braun did show up, things went from good to great. The crowd went nuts for Braun as he made his way to the ring to seek revenge…

Baseball is a game rich in tradition. If you stare at a pitcher after a home-run, you will get beamed by a fast ball three years later. If you take too long to round the bases, you will get beamed by a fast ball. If the best player on one team gets hit by a fastball, the best player on your team will get hit by a fastball. Every year these “unwritten” rules are brought up year after year and never go away, it shows just how much baseball never changes. Another thing that never changes about baseball: the best…

Well, the first ever GBOF is in the books for WWE, and I think it did just fine as a whole. Did anything crazy or unpredictable happen? Not at all, but what were we to expect from the last pay-per-view RAW has before Summer Slam? The card didn’t have too much middle ground at all actually, with each match either seeming like a definite dud or a success. Now, we can break down which moments and matches missed the mark and which lived up to the hype. What Didn’t Work The Ending of Neville/Tozawa What happened? The Cruiser-weight Championship match…

This past week in WWE had more than its share of good matches and moments to look back on. With the Great Balls of Fire Pay-Per-View happening last night, the week leading up to it served up plenty of final preparations for the PPV on Raw and 205 Live, while Smackdown Live and NXT also managed to deliver some highlights in their own right. With that said, let’s look at the moments, promos, and matches that proved to be the cream of the crop this week in WWE.

With the final RAW Pay-Per-View before Summer Slam, Great Balls of Fire (yes, I think it’s a dumb name too), right around the corner, the card looks surprisingly stacked. With this PPV most likely serving as a set-up for the showdowns we’ll see at Summer Slam, expectations are high for the matches here to impress and leave us wanting more for the August PPV. However, sometimes this is a sign WWE will leave us hanging in many of the showings we see. In this list, we’ll look at how each mach should go down in my humble opinion, and how…

In the world that is WWE, sometimes it’s easy to for the quality of matches to be ignored. With so much emphasis on selling merchandise, presenting over-the-top characters, and telling compelling stories, the work happening in the ring can be overlooked. However, when WWE does deliver a match that entertains while still being a feat of athleticism and storytelling, it makes fans remember why they love wrestling. With that said, here are ten matches from the first half of 2017 that deserve to be watched, or re-watched, because they are filled with crazy moves, moments, and just overall great wrestling. Also,…

As a WWE fan, I understand that it’s not something you always brag about. Sure, it’s impressive, entertaining, dramatic and sometimes just plain cool, but then some nerd from down the office calls you a “nerd”. I can’t deny that WWE is ridiculous by nature, but that doesn’t make it a great thing to be a fan of. WWE is half sport, half soap-opera, and if you treat it as such, you might just get hooked on it like so many have. Now, others will tell you that WWE’s best days are behind it. To those Debbie-Downers I say “wrong!”…

The MLB is always a tricky thing to predict. The season is so long and injuries can be so devastating that any team really has a shot to make an impact on the season. That said, some things seem certain even in baseball. This year though seems to be a bit on the unpredictable side. Neither league looks the way it was supposed to in April, and it looks like we might not see the faces we were expecting in October. So, let’s look at the three biggest stories through the first half of this MLB season. These stories have…
