May the Fourth be with you!

Extreme Rules, operating in the massive shadow of WrestleMania, is destined to feel like a filler Pay-Per-View. Though, maybe “transitional” is a better word.

Welcome to the last SmackDown Redux before Extreme Rules! It feels like yesterday, WrestleMania 31 was on everyone’s minds.

Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! Unfortunately, it looks like the WWE is headed back to its old reliable method of booking a Divas feud: have Party A wrestle wile Party B chats distractingly on commentary. This time, Party A consists of AJ Lee and Paige, who are teaming to take on the 2015 version of … Read more
Welcome one and all to this week’s Raw Redux! The #GiveDivasAChance movement has cooled off a little yet WWE has thankfully kept their side of the bargain up nicely.

Welcome to a special edition of the SmackDown Redux, in which the fourth wall is broken by the Divas and all hell breaks loose.

If you thought Lilian Garcia‘s WWE Fastlane botches were bad (“Here are your winners, and STILL the NEW WWE Tag Team Champions!”) well they are nothing on the atrocious booking of the WWE Divas during last night’s Monday Night Raw. And then there was the horrid match length. And then there was the abysmal commentary. … Read more
Last night’s WWE Fastlane saw Nikki Bella make her first Divas Title defense of 2015 against Paige in the culmination of a feud that critics called, “Meh.” A series of predictable singles matches and middle school level teasing didn’t make for an exciting feud, to say the least.
