Wrestling Observer is reporting that the announcement of a Bill Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar singles match at Survivor Series on 11/20 is apparently forthcoming. For months, rumors have been circulating about the possibility regarding the WWE return of Goldberg since he and Lesnar have been featured in the marketing of the new WWE 2K17 video game.

After some ailments and injuries, Adam Kohn and I are back with all new episode of the SmackDown BreakDown as we review the 10/4 edition of SmackDown Live aka the go home show to this Sunday’s No Mercy pay-per-view
The Lowell Memorial Auditorium was once again treated to an action-packed night of squared circle mayhem as Ring of Honor brought their All-Star Extravaganza pay-per-view event to the Mill City. The best way to describe the ROH product for the uninitiated is to call it pro wrestling with a side of sports entertainment.
WWE’s presentation favors the reverse ideology, but there is a die-hard fan base that ROH caters to that’s not into all the pomp, circumstance, and melodrama. The storylines are simple enough to follow, but it’s the matches that keep the ROH faithful coming back for more.
My fellow wrestling promoting partner in crime, Ryan and I attended the show with piqued interest since neither us of go to Ring of Honor shows that often. In fact, this was only my third ROH live experience and my first in twelve years. Plus, some of the biggest moments in wrestling history have occurred in Lowell, and All-Star Extravaganza could provide another. Continue reading “ROH All-Star Extravaganza Review”
(ElkMania is an annual professional wrestling show that I produce and promote.)
September 2016 has not been kind to me. If I’m not sick, I’m injured, and if I’m not injured, I’m sick. Then there have been days where both have occurred simultaneously. I normally despise taking time off from work or reneging on any of my responsibilities or commitments, however, this time, I was unable to shake it off and work through the discomfort.
With all of that said…
To say that ElkMania 4 was an amazing success would be an understatement. Each year, the show has gotten bigger, better and increased in popularity to the point where unfortunately, we had to turn people away after filling our near three hundred seat venue, which included standing room only accommodations.
The increasing success of ElkMania Promotions is due to the talented and hard-working wrestlers who put on a great show that keep the fans coming back for more.

After a six year absence, Backlash returns to the WWE event calendar as the first SmackDown brand pay-per-view of the new era. Check out my review of the show as things kicked off with a fantastic women’s championship match and ended with a great WWE World title showdown.
Normally, a comic book series based a popular television show delivers more of the same at best while often providing a watered down version of the source material.
Kyle Higgins makes BOOM! Studios’ run of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers a compelling exception to the rule by using familiar elements to serve the narrative in a fashion that triggers nostalgia while touching on things that the kid-friendly show ignored.
Here, Higgins and company sprinkle in safety concerns and protocols that remind, or perhaps, enlightens the reader that no sane person would want to live in Angel Grove due to the amount of monster activity that plagues the city.
Also, how come no one ever attacked the Rangers at home? Why is it that only Jason and Tommy’s Zords saw one on one combat? All of these things and more come into play throughout the book.

Adam Kohn and yours truly give our preview and predictions for WWE Backlash. This is the first SmackDown brand exclusive PPV or the new era, which is headlined by Dean Ambrose defending the WWE World Championship against AJ Styles.
On Raw this past Monday, Kevin Owens emerged victorious in a Fatal Four Way match to become the new WWE Universal Champion. The closing moments of the match saw a down-and-out Owens receive an unexpected assist from longtime villain, Triple H, who’s been MIA since he lost at WrestleMania almost five months ago.
This would make fans happy under normal circumstances, but standard fare in wrestling is subjective at best. While some are indeed happy with the finished product, there are a lot of wrestling fans who believe that the help Triple H gave Owens to win the title stripped away any legitimacy that the moment would have had otherwise.
Is Kevin Owens a fake champion in a sport that isn’t real? Click here for the answer in my column at Forces of Geek.com
