Pro Wrestling SKOOPZ on The Wrestling Blog: Vol. 4, Issue 11

He has returned! Photo Credit: WWE.com Are you ready to celebrate the GREATEST COMEBACK IN WRESTLING HISTORY? What, Bryan Danielson? HELL NO. Everyone knew he was coming back sooner or later, ESPECIALLY ME. I'm talking about HORB FLERBMINBER, baby. That's right, I have RETURNED from the gnarliest hangover in WRESTLING JOURNALISM HISTORY. I would say I'm never drinking that much grappa again, but YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN RYAN SATIN IS GOING TO THROW DOWN THE GROSS LIQUOR GAUNTLET AT THE AIRPORT HOLIDAY INN IN ONTARIO, CA. I must remain as vigilant to consume massive amounts of disgusting liquor as I am to report the news. AND I AM THE MOST VIGILANT AT DOING THAT. Of course, you could just consume the HORB EXPERIENCE via the newsletter, but WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? That would be like going to Old Country Buffet and not stuffing your cargo pants full of take-home leftovers. THEY HAVE ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED 12 ARMIES, I CAN TAKE MORE THAN I CAN EAT HOME, DAMMIT. First, you shove popcorn ...

The 2017 TWB 100 Slow Release: 1-25

Riddle kicking off the TWB 100 today, BRO Photo Credit: Scott Finkelstein I decided against dragging this out for another week, so the top five will be introed with the rest of the top 25. Sorry! Anyway, the final entries on the list are below. THE SUSPENSE MUST BE KILLING YOU. 25. Matt Riddle Points: 968 Number of Ballots: 13 Highest Vote: 2nd Place (Chris Gibbons, Dylan Hales) Last Year�s Ranking: 27th Place TH: The drawback of Riddle getting more comfortable in wrestling and gaining influence over his creative is his bad habits are starting to come out. That being said, warts and all, he's still an enjoyable watch no matter what the setting, and the floor for his matches is always at least "watchable," with a near infinite ceiling, even against dudes you wouldn't expect like Dan Severn. Chris Gibbons: It�s strange that Riddle seems to have lost a bit of his luster in 2017 for some, because his in-ring work was just as good if not better than his incredible ro...

Image
Lots of chatter about the women's Rumble Photo Credit: WWE.com So, Christmas is almost upon the world. Either you're at your office, whiling down time until you can take off, or you've taken off and are frantically shopping for last minute gifts. Either way, take some time out and read the good stuff. That's right, a whole lot of people are writing bomb-ass shit about pro wrestling. Why don't you settle down, pull up some of these here hyperlinks, and edify yourself before you go crazy from holiday fever? The YEAR END BLOWOUT is in full effect. Catch up with it here. [ The Wrestling Blog ] The women's Royal Rumble was announced Monday, and I had a few thoughts on it, mainly that Stephanie McMahon ruins everything with her bullshit pandering and framing. [ The Wrestling Blog ] Nick Piccone also has some thoughts about it, mainly that it's about goddamn time WWE has a Rumble match for its female competitors. [ Medium ] Mohamed looked at WWE's 2017 since it...

Twitter Request Line, Vol. Jawn

GIMME DAT PORK ROLL Photo Credit: TH It's Twitter Request Line time, everyone! I take to Twitter to get questions about issues in wrestling, past and present, and answer them on here because 140 characters can't restrain me, fool! If you don't know already, follow me @tholzerman , and wait for the call on Wednesday to ask your questions. Hash-tag your questions #TweetBag , and look for the bag to drop Thursday afternoon (most of the time). Without further ado, here are your questions and my answers: you've decided to give up meat, but once a year, when winter comes and it's dark at 4 in the afternoon, your willpower fails you and you sneak one meal with meat in it: what is the meal? � ??'s Brent is Dead (@TVsBrent) December 6, 2017 I have a confession to make. I could  become a lacto-ovo vegetarian or even a vegan if I wanted to. I like enough food that I could cut out meat and be happy. However, speculate if you will a moment of weakness. I do get cravings ever...
