Sure, the …

Friday LinkFrogging – 2/18/11

Welcome to Friday kids. I don't know about you, but this weekend couldn't have come any sooner. If life is a juggling act, I've been struggling to keep all my balls in the air this week. I'll pause here whilst you make your own jokes. (pause) Okay, moving on. Our ongoing cold snap has passed …

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. Anvil was performing and this past year’s documentary, ‘Anvil: The Story of Anvil’, depicting their history and struggles to achieve rock stardom had won me over; not with their music, but because these men have marched thanklessly to their own thrash metal …

It’s a Work – Storytelling

Wrestlemania Weekend – Axxess

  The next stop on our much belated trip to Wrestlemania weekend finds us taking in Axxess.

  "Wrong Mexican!" - Stephe to the kid sitting behind us calling for the 619 during the Blue Demon match It's no longer timely or even especially relevant, but I promised Wrestlemania weekend coverage and I'm going to provide it. After a flight delay, I picked Stephe up at the airport and we hauled ass …

Wrestlemania Weekend – The Booker T. Legends of Wrestling FanFest

Coverage of GonzoGeek's Wrestlemania weekend begins right here loyal reader(s). Friday brought us the first ever Booker T. Legends of Wrestling Fan Fest.  Since Stephe wasn't due in until Saturday, I took this one in by myself.  I drove downtown and parked with no problem.  Then I walked to the GRB.  What I found most …

Wrestlemania 25 is upon us!

Its been a while loyal reader(s). Sorry for the absence, but sometimes real life interferes with the fun that is GonzoGeek. However, we're going to make up for our inactivity in spades this weekend. Why? It's Wrestlemania weekend (or Wrestlepalooza as John keeps calling it) and the big event is being held right around the …
