    A Londoner’s Eye: Is There Too Much Women’s Wrestling Now?

    That question may seem perplexing to starved WWE — and to an extent, TNA — fans, but beyond the realm of Divas and Knockouts, there is a wide range of women’s wrestling to be consumed on an independent level. To this writer, it’s always perplexing when fans say they want [...]

    A Londoner’s Eye: Time for Divas to Take a Stand

    It’s the morning after the night before and several thoughts are whirling through my brain.

    A Londoner’s Eye: Paying Homage to the Divas of Raw

    Tonight, WWE celebrates its 1,000th episode of Raw. Since 1993, that Monday night factory has been chugging and spurning out match after match, segment after segment, and all the rest in between. Of course, with the good (and there’s been plenty of that) there’s the not so good (there’s been [...]

    In just over 24 hours we’ll be saying goodbye to 2011 and ushering in 2012. Usually around this time we tend to get all sentimental, looking back at the best bits of the year and what we loved — but I’m going to do something different and tell you what [...]

    A Londoner’s Eye: Models vs Wrestlers – When Did the Battle Lines Get Drawn? And Why Do We Have to Choose?

    A Londoner's Eye, Columns December 21, 2011 at 91 comments

    A Londoner’s Eye: Divas Division Has Fallen into a Post-Kharma Lull

    A Londoner's Eye June 16, 2011 at 116 comments

    Watching this past Monday’s 14-Diva tag match, something dawned me: The Divas division has almost regressed in the span of a few weeks.
