It’s a Sunday and you know that means! One of the “Trifecta of Retro” (Marc Madison, Clint Dye, and myself) has a great retro piece for you. And today you lucky so and so’s, it’s ME! I’m back with your E-C-DUB fix! We’re still in the hazy days of 1995, April ’95 to be exact. And this week I’m reviewing ECW Three Way Dance. Before we start, a quick catch up and some back story to get you all caught up… In the history of ECW, this is a famous, well infamous, event. The main event three-way dance for the…

Howdy peeps! Welcome back to my fortnightly trip back to ECW yesteryear. My first ECW RetroView – Double Tables 1995 – was really well received. So I’d like to begin by thanking you all for the kind words. It means so much to receive great feedback. Makes it all the more worthwhile in my eyes. So once again, thank you lovely lot! So why not sit back and feast your eyes on this, my review of ECW Return of the Funker! Now the mushy part is out of the way, let’s get to what you came here for…some EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP…

The rumors were true. For quite some time, people have been saying that promotions from around the world that have close links to WWE would appear on the WWE Network. And just an hour ago it was confirmed. This Saturday, you will be able to watch some of the world’s best independent wrestling content. Yes folks, EVOLVE, ICW, PROGRESS, and wXw programming will be coming to the Network. It’s mentioned on the WWE website, that this is just the beginning. Over the coming weeks and months, you will be able to watch more content from all four promotions. Whether that’s…

Welcome one and all to the first of my ECW RetroViews…ECW Double Tables 1995! I will travel back in time to 1995 and review every Supercard and PPV from 1995 until the company’s closure in 2001. I’m hoping to bring back those warm fuzzy feelings for us all. Well, that’s the plan. I’m sure there will be some matches that stink out the joint along the way, but not everything is perfect! Within these reviews, there will be some matches on certain events that won’t be covered. Pretty much any Chris Benoit matches. I’m sure I don’t have to explain…

Hands up…whose missed wrestling during this COVID-19 world? Watching, writing, participating. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been a huge struggle. Even watching copious amounts of WWE Network, Raw, SmackDown and Dynamite has left me down in the dumps. And it seems I’m not the only one as promotions from around the world have adapted to this post-COVID world. WWE and AEW are consistently putting out new content (whether that’s right or wrong is for another time), but there are other companies around the globe interacting with their fanbase in new and exciting ways. What do I mean? Let me educate…

With the announcement that WWE2K21 has officially been canceled, many gamers wondered how they would be able to have their WWE video game fix this year. Fear not as WWE/2K announces new video game. WWE/2K Announce New Video Game that is set to release soon. https://youtu.be/CTqED7mOzrU As seen in the video, it looks like this game will be going down the beat-em-up route. A huge departure from the simulation style that has been the WWE/2K trait for quite some time. WWE 2K Battlegrounds to Lead the Charge into the Future of 2K’s WWE Game Experiences Hello, From everyone at 2K,…

How are we all doing folks? Not going stir crazy being stuck inside are you? I’m back with another Blake’s Take to help alleviate that boredom and get you thinking…maybe? Today’s subject is WWE House Shows. Now I know you’re thinking “What are you on about dude?” but bare with me on this… I don’t know if you’ve seen the news, but WWE held an Investor’s conference call this past Thursday. A usual occurrence in the stock market world. But a call in these Covid-19 times?  Where people are very cautious about everything, let alone their stock? It led to…

The wrestling world and the world in general, has crawled to a halt. What better time to look back and see what wondrous gems and masterpieces have taken place this year. And with that, I give to you my 2020 Must-See Matches So Far! In these strange and worrying times, I have tried repeatedly to take my mind off the situation by watching some wrestling. Actually a LOT of wrestling. I mean I watch wrestling for a living, but for the past few weeks, all my spare time has been watching even more. While I was watching, I had a…

With Money In The Bank a few weeks away, images have surfaced as to what the WWE Superstars will be in for. As noted on this week’s Monday Night RAW, this year’s MITB event has a major difference. Both the Men’s and Women’s MITB matches will be held at the WWE HQ in Stamford, CT. All the participants will have to wrestle/fight from the first floor of the building to the roof, where the MITB briefcases will be suspended, ready for claiming. As you can see in the tweet below, the leaked photos show that a ring has been set…

Before we start, I’d like to let you all know that I wrote this piece at the back end of February this year. We were all giddy with the expectation of what could and would be happening at this year’s WrestleMania. Fast forward a few weeks and the whole global landscape has changed, let alone the wrestling world. So with that in mind, here’s my piece in full. I hope you enjoy it the way it was intended….. It’s Mania season folks! Welcome to Pro Wrestling Post’s #7DaysOfMania! You know the drill peeps. All of us here at PWP will…
