Man-Thing – the review

Whatever knows fear burns at the touch of the Man-Thing.

It’s a Work – Anvil: The Story of Pro Wrestling

This past Tuesday night, I went to Charlotte’s newest live-music venue- the Fillmore.

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 …
