An Interesting Weekend
So, once again, I spent Labor Day weekend in Hoffman Estates, Illinois for live wrestling. Unlike last year, we also attended the Wednesday Dynamite and the Friday Rampage in addition to the All Out PPV, Fan Fest, and Heels Meet up. And we got to bring a friend who had NEVER been to a live wrestling event. The weekend was nothing short of incredible. Sure, there were matches I didn’t like the outcome of, but that is to be expected. What I didn’t expect was all the back stage drama to erupt as soon as the PPV was over. It would be easy to let that drama overshadow the amazing…

AEW Revolution Predictions
So a friend of ours has been doing video predictions for Dynamite for quite a while now. I decided to start doing the same for big shows. And what is bigger than a PPV? SO let’s get to it. 1. Hook vs. QT Marshall. Hook wins it because, well, he’s Hook. Not to mention QT has been known for getting his ass kicked super quick in PPV matches. 2. Face of the Revolution Ladder Match. I’m not 100% sure that there won’t be any surprise entries in this, as there usually are. However, of the ones that are announced, I’m going with Wardlow, unless Spears makes an appearance to ruin…

Can We Just Not Be D-Bags?
Guess what guys? This post is about wrestling. But also, it’s not about wrestling. Why is it so difficult for some people to be decent human beings? Back story. One of my favorite wrestlers (Sammy Guevarra with AEW) recently posted on Twitter that he and his fiance separated. He didn’t have to tell us anything, but since he literally proposed to her on live TV not too long ago, and she had several appearances in his weekly vlog, they decided it was time to let the fans know. Of course, people lost their shit. Immediately, the internet started blaming a bad-ass female wrestler (Tay Conti) because she was a regular…

Your Friendly Neighborhood Wrestling Addict
It really seems like the only updates I post anymore are about wrestling, but honestly, it’s the only thing I do anymore. Watch wrestling. Go to wrestling shows. Rinse. Repeat. And the best part? It doesn’t get old! Last Saturday was my husband’s birthday. We made the drive to Waukesha, Wisconsin for a local wrestling event. While it was technically put on by Great Lakes Championship Wrestling, much of the talent was from Ohio Valley Wrestling as well as some Impact and AEW stars! And one of those AEW stars just happened to be my husband’s favorite referee, Aubrey Edwards. So me being me, I pulled out my handy dandy…

All Elite Fan Girl
It’s no secret that I am a wrestling fan. I have been since I was a teenager. However, over the years, the one major company that was around just seemed to be doing the same thing over and over again. I stopped watching. I would watch Wrestlemania every year, but other than that, I had better things to do with my time. AEW changed that. Seriously, unless I am physically at an event, I am religiously in front of my TV every Wednesday for Dynamite. I may occasionally miss Rampage on Fridays, but I will always catch a replay. Dark and Dark Elevation get watched if I have time. Then…

Obsessed With Wrestling
I could sit and come up with a million excuses as to why my writing has taken a back burner lately, but that’s all they would be. Excuses. I was a couple of chapters into a new book. This one would be from the point of view of Jared and Taylor. The problem was, it seemed like it wasn’t going anywhere. I had to force myself to sit down and write, and a reader would definitely be able to tell that. The story didn’t flow like my other ones. I was completely blocked. I put my notebooks aside and focused on life. That life involves four kids in school and…

All Out Excitement
Anyone know really knows me should definitely know how into wrestling I am. Maybe borderline obsessive. My husband and I have the entire entryway to our house dedicated to various merch (action figures, autographed pics, etc). Last year, during Double or Nothing, my then 11 year old son came out of his room during the Stadium Stampede match. His eyes were glued to the screen the entire time. Since that night, he has been with us every week to watch Dynamite. He hasn’t missed a single PPV. He dressed as Darby Allin for Halloween. Half of his closet is full of various AEW shirts. In April of 2020, my husband…
