WWE Clash of Champions 2020: DVD
Clash of Champions 2020 Madman WWE I really enjoyed this Clash of Champions showcase overall. I’m settling into the non-crowd era where the screens are up in the background and the arena is super-quiet; its weird – but so is wrestling. And thus is life.Archive

WWE The Horror Show at Extreme Rules 2020: DVD
The Horror Show at Extreme Rules WWE Madman I’m part-time with this shit, you know that if you’ve read any of my pro-wrestling reviews across the last few years. So you can absolutely take anything I say with a grain of salt. I’m occasionally blown away by the ‘show’ aspect, often underwhelmed and either way […]Archive

WWE Survivor Series 2019: DVD
Survivor Series 2019 Madman WWE It’s the 33rd version of the Survivor Series PPV event and it worked well with WWE pitting the three brands – RAW, Smackdown and NXT – against each other as a way of modernising the traditional Survivor Series-styled team match-ups.Archive

WWE Summerslam 2019: DVD
Summerslam 2019 WWE Madman There was some good, bad and ugly here which is how it goes with WWE pay-per-view events, how it’s always been really – but certainly in recent years the idea of a classic card with very little in the way of filler seems a distant memory. And this, the 32nd iteration […]Archive

WWE Wrestlemania 35: DVD
Wrestlemania 35 WWE Madman No matter how out of step I am with wrestling of a year I still look forward to Wrestlemania. As was the case, then, for the 2019 edition – Wrestlemania 35 – particularly after checking in with Elimination Chamber and Fastlane.Archive

WWE Fastlane 2019: DVD
Fastlane 2019 WWE Madman On the road to Wrestlemania another of the stops was Fastlane – and there was obvious business to do here, break up the Miz and Shane so they could fight at the big show, get Becky Lynch back into the title-run, develop story lines…Archive

WWE Elimination Chamber 2019: DVD
Elimination Chamber 2019 WWE Madman Just when I thought the Elimination Chamber PPV event on DVD was one of the more laborious of the WWE staple shows, along comes the 2019 edition. Featuring two of the very best elimination chamber contests. We start with a dynamic showcase to establish the women tag team champions – how strong the female division is […]Archive

WWE: Wrestlemania 33
Wrestlemania 33 WWE WWE.com The flagship event – “Superbowl of wrestling”, etc – is always a calendar-event; for the 33rd time that Wrestlemania has occurred it was a long, rugged set of matches, not without botched spots or weird booking; not without some flatout head-scratchers, but also – the look and feel of it as […]Archive

WWE: Brock Lesnar – Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat: DVD
Brock Lesnar: Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat. WWE Madman When the WWE releases a multi-disc set about one performer you better be a fan of that athlete or entity. An obvious point, right. But I struggled to work through the three discs here because I’ve never cared about Brock Lesnar in the WWE – a Dino […]Archive

WWE: Elimination Chamber 2017
Elimination Chamber 2017 WWE WWE.com This year’s Elimination Chamber event took too long to get going. The whole first half crawled by, the big bore being a desperate attempt to make anyone care more than they already don’t about the Tag Team Championship. Things started off fairly decently with the first of three women’s division […]Archive
