I spent like twice as much on my Spring Break ticket as I did on my under-face value MSG ticket. And I probably would have missed R&R-LAX, one of the emotional high points of the weekend, if I stayed through the end, so I’m fine with my choice. Read more
Arena Mexico or somewhere else? I want to make the trip eventually. Definitely a bucket list thing for me. Read more
It’s not people who simply buy replica belts that are seen as annoying. It’s people who bring replicas to shows and carry them proudly like an achievement who are considered the dregs. Read more

They’re awful, more or less. Read more
Every single bit of demographic research into wrestling fans says otherwise. Read more
I wouldn’t say HOG is on the middle of nowhere as much as it’s a pain to get to from your part of Queens. It’s next to a major LIRR hub with two (well, 3 if you count the Z) subway lines underneath, as well. La Boom and Melrose require cutting through Manhattan if you’re not on the Queens Plaza side of the nearby… Read more

Paul Jay couldn’t use it in Wrestling With Shadows because he had agreed contractually that Undertaker wouldn’t be shown out of character. Read more
For whatever it’s worth: He had made it fairly clear that he intended to indoctrinate his kids into his bullshit. I do think it’s at least theoretically possible that he saw the light from his daughters pushing him, but the fact that he said nothing publicly and Dana’s statement was so vague/short makes me think that… Read more
I’m not really sure why you included Eddy, Hardy, and Waltman, who are/were just well-liked guys with drug problems, much less Reigns, who is, by all accounts, an awesome guy? Read more
In fairness, in the grand scheme of things, they really haven’t exploited their ties to the Special Olympics for much at all in the way of good PR. It’s legitimately a passion for those in charge, and they’ve put a lot more resources into backing the Special Olympics than they’ve ever taken out. Read more

And did he ever break a beer bottle over his own head to show “Sadistic” Steve Strong how serious he was?
Oh, they’re absolutely “lucky” that he’s a guy with a potentially inspirational name. Read more
