As a wrestling enthusiast for over 30 years, my fondness for professional wrestling explores the irrational in a rational way. I will explore the details inside and outside the ring and hopefully have a laugh with you in the process. I've had the fortune to interview wrestlers from Lucha Underground, TNA, Ring of Honor, GFW, and former WWE talent as well. Feel free to follow me on Twitter @TheMarcMadison

That is met with a chorus of YES chants by all those in attendance. The Miz approaches Daniel Bryan. Miz says that he was going to take away everything that Bray Wyatt hold dear. He then continues by saying to Bryan to defeat…
Earlier in the evening titles changed hands. Would that happen now? In the main event, Kota Ibushi comes to the ring with the G1 Climax briefcase as he faces the current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada. Okada comes out with an extravagant entrance truly setting the stage. From the cascading rain to the money tossed from the ceiling of the Tokyo Dome. Okada had a record of 18 and 3 in 2019 with one loss being to Kota Ibushi. https://twitter.com/tde_wrestling/status/1213422619292250114 As both men lockup in the center of the ring, Ibushi ties up Okada first.

Gedo played a part in this matchup as well on behalf…

The post-Christmas edition of Friday Night Smackdown immediately begins with Elias in the ring. He starts off with a sing-along. Elias runs down what is set to take place on the entire show.

Over the past ten years, a number of men and women have worked to create matches and moments that have stood out above any other. Among those men and women, a number of them have maintained a sense of dominance regardless of promotion.
