that’s quite enough, thank you

Posted on November 21, 2009 by

On last week’s Smackdown, Mickie James was ‘reduced to tears’ when Michelle McCool and Layla interrupted her match against Natalya by cutting her clothes to pieces with some dressmaking scissors. I didn’t like it, but I made a joke of … Continue reading →

raw(lite): oh canada! oh jericho! ohhhhh yessss!

Posted on August 15, 2009 by

In theory, this post should have been up on Tuesday. Thursday, at the latest.  But I actually found myself spending my evenings doing some research for a piece for college this week, so it’s been delayed. And it has nothing … Continue reading →

raw(lite): bespoke suits and amateur tanning

Posted on August 1, 2009 by

The jury’s still out on the whole guest host thing. It’s a shrewd business move and I’m not necessarily against it, but it would have been nice to see a few more former wrestlers getting a night with the mic. … Continue reading →

raw(lite): hubcaps for frisbees

Posted on June 6, 2009 by

It’s 2am on a Tuesday morning. What was I doing? Pretending to sleep. What was Birmingham, Alabama doing? Cheering at Monday Night Raw. Randy Orton is in the ring, his foot-soldiers are firmly by his side and the steel cage … 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 →

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 →

Heroines Wanted: Apply Within

Posted on May 20, 2009 by

Back in the day, when my love affair with wrestling was at its climatic peak, there were three kinds of women in the WWE/F. These were the times when, in my eyes, it could do no wrong. Every twist and … Continue reading →

Raw(Lite): If it wasn’t for those pesky kids…..

Posted on May 15, 2009 by

Ok, I’m starting to think something dodgy is going on around here. First I get a horrible migraine that takes almost a week to recover from, then I get a cold, and now I’ve got an inflamed eardrum that’s retaining … Continue reading →

Raw(lite): partie une – d’introductions

Posted on May 3, 2009 by

This is actually the second time I’ve written this post. I had almost finished it when my laptop decided to throw a wobbler. Once it rebooted only a small portion of what I had written had saved. I was CRUSHED. … Continue reading →

Backlash: sweeping the big janitor’s broom

Posted on May 1, 2009 by

Following Wrestlemania is a tough gig. If the WWE were a Hollywood red carpet, Backlash would be the poor soul who has to step on the velvet five seconds after Angelina Jolie arrived. After the most sought after ‘event’ has … Continue reading →
