Hello everybody and welcome to my review of FCW #1! With NXT being one of the hottest things in wrestling in the past few years, I decided to look back and see what WWE’s prior developmental brand had to offer. If I enjoy this review enough, I may even make it a series. Regardless, let’s begin the review!

Watching Chris Benoit

This is an article I had floating in the back of my head for months at this point, but I’ve only seriously considered writing this for maybe an hour before doing it. I’m not even sure if I’ll publish it, but obviously if your reading it, I decided too. Today I had a day off from life. I gave myself the chance for the first time in months to do literally nothing productive and only do what I wanted. That consisted mostly of laying on my couch and watching YouTube videos. However, in between the shitposts and memes I found myself drawn to one topic for no real reason. For some reason, I kept searching one name: Chris Benoit.

Homophobia & Dealing With Wrestling as Art (Random Match Roundup #19)

Hello everyone and welcome to Random Match Roundup #19. This edition is very different to the usual format, as I will only be reviewing one match this time, and for good reason. This match essentially brought forth a debate I think the wrestling world has to have, what it means to be an art.

My Journey Through NJPW’s Golden Age – Kazuchika Okada: The Rise of the Ace Part 1

Hello everyone and welcome to My Journey Through NJPW’s Golden Age! To me, this “Golden Age” I’m speaking of starts with the meteoric rise of Kazuchika Okada (starting at this match) and stretches to (at the time of writing this) the present. Currently, my masterlist of matches to review is here, so check it out and suggest important matches I missed. I will be adding modern matches periodically, and hopefully I can eventually make it to the present. New Japan has always been a glaring blind spot for me (even though some of my favorite matches are from there) so I’m very excited to watch the biggest moments in order. Anyway, lets begin!
