EVERYTHING IS WRESTLING/WRESTLING IS EVERTHING THOUGHTS
Any of this is moot is you’re actually here to watch the (digital) world burn. To those people, I say: bravo. Then you’ve accomplished what you set out to do. The rest of us (either unknowingly or annoyingly knowingly) play at being Sisyphus.

Honesty is wrestling (with yourself)
A weird combo of Bad Cop/Bad Cop, NoFX, the DeathGate Cycle, Emma Watson, and the waking stupor of fatherhood have brought me here. Speaking only for me, the new car smell is gone from BlueSky. I’ve become my parents, my rivals, my enemies. The nerds at the end of Revenge of the Nerds. This was inevitable. …

Baseball is Wrestling
As you get older, it’s funny what things you love fall by the wayside, and even funnier when they come back at seemingly random times and in unexpected ways. While it was a pre requisite to love hockey growing up (and I did and do), baseball sang to me from a young age. Being a…

Bananaphone is Wrestling

AEW Dynamite
I’ve finally found my secret wrestling identity. I’m the caped crusader of audience members. With the exception of my Justice League who sometimes attend events with me (completely devoid of irony I assure you…), I tend to not feel at home with other live wrestling fans (let alone the online ones), but I still love…

As heard on Marty and Sarah Love Wrestling
The problem with being a former closeted wrestling fan is that you don’t know where to start with a confession, because I have no gauge other than my one other wrasslin’ loving friend’s reaction as to what’s good and what’s incredibly boring, but I promised you Québec heavy content, so that has to start and…

NXT Takeover 2019
As befits my role as the ultimate outsider (probably my wrasslin’ nickname if I ever was lucky enough to get into this crazy business), I was simultaneously familiar and uncomfortable as soon as I stepped off of the UP Express and into the land of the mark. I understand the fandom, but I also don’t…
Everything is Wrestling (to me)
