There is a difference between being labeled “the future” and actually looking like it every time the lights come on. The WrenQCC — Kendal Grey and current WWE Women’s Speed Champion Wren Sinclair — is starting to feel like one of those acts NXT does best: two wrestlers with completely different paths, completely different energies … Read more
Let me start by clarifying something: I don’t have a problem with all wrestling podcasts. I don’t even have a problem with all wrestling podcasts hosted by wrestlers or other people in the business. I’m a fan of Stevie Richards, Maven Huffman, Dutch Mantel, and, of course, Jim Cornette. If they want to tell old … Read more
Major League Wrestling has never needed to become another version of WWE, AEW or TNA to justify its existence. MLW has always been at its most interesting when it leans into the things that make it feel different: a gritty presentation, a deep appreciation for wrestling history, an open-door approach to talent, a willingness to … Read more
TNA Slammiversary should feel bigger than this. That is the part I keep coming back to as a longtime TNA Faithful watching the company one month away from its biggest show of the summer.

It has always had a women’s division that, at its best, felt different from everyone else’s. That is what makes the current state of the titles … Read more
Lio Rush used to move faster than the story around him. That was the beauty of him and, for a long time, the limitation too. He was burst, arrogance, rhythm, speed in a flash. You saw the talent immediately. You saw the snap in the movement, the swagger in the body language, the sense that … Read more
Leon Slater’s TNA X-Division Championship reign should have ended with a coronation, not a cloud of confusion. For almost 300 days, Slater carried one of TNA’s most important championships like the division had been rebuilt around him — because, honestly, it had. He was not just another young champion getting a test run. He was … Read more
Asuka has not officially announced her retirement, and WWE has not confirmed that last night at Backlash was the end.
