AWA Superclash I (28/9/85) – Review
By 1985, it was do-or-die time for companies like the American Wrestling Association. Vince McMahon made several big moves throughout 1984, and then on March 31, 1985, produced the first Wrestlemania. It was a commercial success for the company, with its combination of in-ring action and a bevy of celebrity involvement from the likes of pop star Cyndi Lauper and […]
“Black Saturday”
It will forever be known as one of the darkest days in professional wrestling’s history. A date that sounded alarm bells as the reality for promoters sunk in, that Vince McMahon was serious about taking his company national, and he would do anything to make that happen. While it would become common for McMahon to take syndicated television deals from […]

In recent years NJPW has used licensed music as the main theme for the tournament. We’ve covered the 2018 theme in this series. But throughout the event the promotion has used a bumper theme that over time has […]

Roadtrip Music: Slammer by Derek Todd Sorensen (Lex Luger)
Well it has been a while but we are back on the road and need some tunes to suit. How about this banger from the peak days of WCW? Though not really looked back on too fondly after the fact (though that seems to be changing slightly) – Lex Luger was a bona fide star in 1997. The New World […]
