This is a little feature we like to call “Is Wrestling _____?”, where we attempt to make a connection between professional wrestling and something from the world outside of Kayfabe. Today, we’ll look at LeBron James, the best pure heel in professional sports.
June 2014
Tonight is WWE’s Money in the Bank PPV, the third best PPV of the year. What’s the Worst That Could Happen?
Money in the Bank is finally here. We’ll be crowning a new champion, and a number one contender…but not in that order. This show has an awesome card, that promises a night of great action… but will it make Andy angry?
Today, we look at the building of the American narrative through the history of the United States and its first homegrown baby face, Abraham Lincoln.
Ring of Honor has a #NewROHChamp, but the same old fans. WWE has another terribly-timed injury. Seth Rollins is the future of WWE. 2 out of 3 make Andy Angry.
Vickie says “goodbye” to the WWE Universe, Big E. says “America” to Rusev and Roman Reigns says “hello” to Kane. Raw regurgitated, on the internet, just for you.
With the Great YouTube Purge of 2014 making most of the work we do with Wrestlers of the Week somewhere between “impossible” and “totally and completely impossible”, we’ve decided to officially (quasi) retire the feature. In its place will be something we are calling Is Wrestling _____?, where we will attempt to make a connection between professional wrestling and something from the world outside of Kayfabe. We will try to post at least one thing per day, though we obviously can’t promise anything because we’re not so secretly the worst. And to start everything off, we’ll look at where it all — meaning, all of literature as we currently understand it — with the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Superstars are stepping up into the spotlight as Daniel Bryan fades away. 11 people (and counting) better get ready for life after wrestling. TNA thinks it’s biggest problem going forward…is the shape of its ring? Are you kidding? That makes Andy Angry.
The Authority make things a little too real, Dean makes himself a superstar and Damien Sandow warms our hearts. Raw regurgitated, on the internet, just for you!
It’s #HeenanWeek, a celebration of all things Fair to Flair (and any other member of the Family) and the 30th installment of our (patent-pending) Juice Make Sugar Wrestler of the Week series. As always, we finish everything off with a Difference of Opinion, where JMS HQ erupts in a Weasel-suit fueled civil war.
