smackdown(lite): moving on

Posted on May 31, 2009 by

After the chaos of Raw, the exciting comeback and then speedy sacking of Mr. Kennedy,  sitting down to watch Smackdown felt like a snuggly cuddle from a nice boy. Thanks, Smackdown. I can always rely on you. SD got going … Continue reading →

Where were you when Kennedy got fired?

Posted on May 30, 2009 by

I was feeling proud of myself for getting out another wrestlegasm post, drinking tea and eating another fat-laden breakfast baguette. (Shut your mouth, Michelle McCool.) So, within just a few minutes of publishing my full recap of this week’s Raw, … Continue reading →

raw(lite): orgasmic borderlines and over dressing

Posted on May 30, 2009 by

[I wrote this recap last night, but I was so tired by the time I got done with the writing, I fell asleep before I could do all my lovely photoshopping. So just put your brain on rewind and pretend … Continue reading →

the dirtiest job on the internet

Posted on May 28, 2009 by

It’s a dirty job being a wrestling fan.  It’s an even filthier form of voluntary employment when you decide you’re going to set up a blog or website where you write about wrestling several times a week.  Justifying your devotion … Continue reading →

Ray’s the name, randomness the game

Posted on May 28, 2009 by

As you’ve probably realised, especially after my last Smackdown recap, I have a lot of random thoughts swimming around my brain. If my mind didn’t wander so much my to-do list at work might go down a little quicker. I’m … Continue reading →

smackdown(lite): plaid, cupcakes and champagne

Posted on May 27, 2009 by

I won’t lie to you, last Friday’s Smackdown was a little lacklustre. It was inevitable really. For what must be the first time ever, Smackdown reigned supreme at a PPV. I imagine all the SD folks downed a few martinis … Continue reading →

Posted on May 25, 2009 by

I REALLY wanted to finish my Smackdown recap today but I had the chance to go and see Coraline in 3D. And as I’m a bit of a nerd, I chose wearing some thick rimmed 3D glasses instead of telling … Continue reading →

raw(lite): mojo restoration

Posted on May 24, 2009 by

Much as I enjoy PPVs, they’re harder to write about than Raw and Smackdown. They don’t have the snappy structure of a weekly show. So I’m quite pleased to be back with Raw for this recap. We got going with … Continue reading →

Judgment Day: Stars, Straps and Tantrums

Posted on May 24, 2009 by

Alrighty, I know this is pretty late. But some stuff’s been going on this week.  I’m sure you don’t want to hear my tales of woe, so I’ll move on. Much as I was tempted to skip recapping this PPV,  … Continue reading →
