Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns, One Year Later
Earlier this week was the one-year anniversary of Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns at the 2023 edition of the Elimination Chamber. That event took place in Montreal, not far from Sami’s hometown, and it was the first WWE pay-per-view I had ever attended. There have been lots of wrestling shows in my past, and aContinue reading “Sami Zayn vs. Roman Reigns, One Year Later”
The NHL’s All-Underrated Team
Figuring out who is and isn’t underrated can be a fickle process. Fans and analysts of specific teams can shout ‘you clearly don’t watch this player enough’ when that is definitely not the case. On top of that, highlighting players that are thought to be underrated might, in fact, be properly rating them. Either way,Continue reading “The NHL’s All-Underrated Team”
Best Pre-2023 Movies I Watched in 2023
There is a difference between “favourite” and “best” movie. For me, the former indicates some form of emotional or psychological attachment to something, while “best” attempts to separate those emotions from objectivity.

You Will Be Missed, Bray
Pro wrestling, and specifically the WWE, has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. One of the earliest memories I have at all is my older brother renting WrestleMania 6 – the one in Toronto with Hulk Hogan facing the Ultimate Warrior in the main event – and watchingContinue reading “You Will Be Missed, Bray”
FTR, Randy Orton, Hikaru Shida, and Attention to Detail
There was a spot about 9-10 minutes into the MJF/Adam Cole vs. FTR tag team championship match on the July 29th edition of AEW’s Collision that stood out. It wasn’t because of a crazy stunt – though the setup was very nice – but because of a very simple thing: FTR’s Dax Harwood kicked outContinue reading “FTR, Randy Orton, Hikaru Shida, and Attention to Detail”
