Magical mat-stery tour: Three months later…

Remember me?
The guy with the wise-acre idea to chronicle every wrestling match I watch in a calendar year? Still doing it. Probably will do it next year just because I dig making lists.
Just haven’t had a bunch of time to watch in the past 90 days for a variety of reasons I won’t bore [...]

Magical Mat-stery Tour: The latest update

How did my effort fare given a two-week vacation to Arizona and Las Vegas, and an increasingly demanded work schedule?
Poorly.

Magical Mat-stery Tour: Ides of June update

Had a lot going as of late, so any opinionating will be brief.
But let me just say this.
What does it indicate when WWE does a “special” three-hour episode of Raw, and the only guys who put on matches worth watching on the whole show are on Smackdown?
Also, Donald Trump buying Raw might officially [...]

The Greatest Music of the ’90s

Now that even the tail end of the decade is almost 10 years ago, I decided it was time to weigh in on this very important topic.  Important?, you ask. Why yes. Because at least one version of mainstream rock musical history goes like this: the Dinosaurs, Punk, 4 days of Power Pop, Hair Metal [...]

Magical Mat-stery Tour: 200 in the crosshairs!

Pardon me for a brief rant. And what’s better for a blog than a good old-fashioned rant?
Everyone who knows me knows I likey the wrestling. Give me two thick-necked dudes in tiny pants pretending to beat up one another in the ring, and I will call it art.
I’ll watch all kinds of wrestling. WWE… [...]

The Magical Mat-stery Tour: First Month-plus report

It’s me again. That guy who watches too much wrestling.
Life’s been a little hectic as of late, but don’t worry, I’ve still found the time to watch men in spandex underwear beat and choke one another.
That sounded much less homo-erotic in my head.
Aaaaanyhoo, earlier this week in a fit of boredom, I decided to catalog [...]

Magical Mat-stery Tour: The latest

I knew I’d been watching a lot of the divine comedy that is professional wrestling as of late when the wife said, “More wrestling? Seriously?”
Perhaps I was too bold trying to keep track of EVERY match I watch this year.
Too late to stop now.
The latest, after the jump.

My Magical Mat-stery Tour: Update

So it’s been a few days since my daunting and perhaps ill-advised “let’s chronicle every rasslin match I watch” endeavor began.
The update, after the jump.

Postseasonal Affective Disorder: College Football’s Long, Winding Journey To Determine A Champion, Part II

Word on the street is that there’s a problem with college football’s Bowl Championship Series format. The sports media hates it, and have always hated it. Bloggers hate it, and likely will always hate it. Saturday Night Live hates it, or at least Will Forte had written one of his Weekend Update songs and needed [...]
