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

As listed on WWE.com former WWE Raw and Smackdown Live women’s champion, Alexa Bliss has not been cleared to compete in this Sunday’s Money In the Bank Ladder match. Flags should have been raised when Bliss didn’t compete in this past Monday Night Raw match up but was instead asking Nikki Cross to replace her in her upcoming match. For storyline purposes, it was a fair enough action as Bliss is a heel and often ‘heel’s lie’. However, at the time of the match, it could have been that she and the writers were still awaiting clearance for this weekend’s…
On Saturday May 11th, AAW Pro presented Take No Prisoners from Chicago, Illinois. The event included incredible matches throughout including single and tag team matches.
