Wrestling journalism is a sad state of affairs, legit.

The fact Joe Babinsack gets his shit published on any prominent website is embarrassing, let alone on the Wrestling Observer site - they should aspire to better.

I take pride in the sites/publications who have been kind enough to gimme a chance and appreciate the company I keep, because the majority of competitors are straight garbage.

CWF Mid-Atlantic Wrestling: Trevor Lee vs. Chiva Kid for the Television title (1/15/13)! (by CWFMidAtlantic)

CWF and specifically Chiva Kid were praised as one of the break out performances at National Pro Wrestling Day eariler this month, and I was disappointed I missed it.

Check this super fun match from their January 15th event to get an idea of what they’re about.

I was on RBR again last night.

Even though he was still on the show, Will was unwell so they needed an extra voice and I was happy to oblige.

It was my favourite time hosting the show yet, with lots of laughs and fun debate - especially about CM Punk, The Rock, and the Royal Rumble. Check it out, and sub on iTunes!

Not sure where this came from, I definitely can’t take credit, but this is an absolutely beautiful drawing that needs to be shared. Simple, elegant. We’re gonna miss you Generico. Lovely re-imagining of the last hug between one of his best friends & rivals, Kevin Steen.
