INDUCTION SPECIAL: Thunder vs. Cameo – Sony Playstation, Meet Social Media

8 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Thu, 03 February 2022, 18:28

1998 Sony Playstation vs. 2022 Social Media Recently on old man social media (ie, my Facebook page), I noted how sad I was that MC Skat Kat was not available on Cameo.

Induction: NXT 2.0 – The 2021 Gooker Award Winner

53 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 27 January 2022, 20:00

As a brand dedicated to developing wrestling talent, there’s more than a little irony in NXT itself evolving and flourishing beyond all expectations, only to be punished for it. Premiering in 2010 as a hybrid wrestling/reality game show for aspiring Superstars, the original NXT soon devolved into a farce that announcers openly mocked, and that SyFy booted off television. After Continue Reading...

9 Submitted by Art0Donnell on Thu, 16 December 2021, 21:28

WWF, 1999 It’s amazing to ponder the butterfly effect in wrestling. Consider this: There’s a straight line running from Vince Russo thinking up a Stephanie McMahon-Test romance with no end game in 1999… …to Triple H being a lock to take over as WWE Chairman in this, the Year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Nineteen.
