My good friend Todd Graham decided to enter the unboxing video world and review Pro Wrestling Tee’s inaugural subscription box. I subscribe to several subscription boxes and watch a lot of unboxing video on YouTube. Todd made one of the better videos I’ve seen and I hope he continues to make them. Check it out!
I was fortunate enough to score some snazzy seats on the floor of the DCU Center in Worcester, MA for the inaugural edition of SmackDown Live on the USA network. Wrestling fans watched on with their fingers crossed in hopes that WWE had learned from the mistakes of the previous brand split.

In a shocking turn of events, WWE announced they have suspended Roman Reigns for 30 days effective immediately due to a violation of the company’s talent wellness policy. This is interesting considering Reigns dropped the WWE title on Sunday at Money In The Bank.
WWE has spent the last 18 months positioning Reigns as the face of the company, which has been an up hill endeavor since fans haven’t taken to the 31-year-old former college football player.

Frank Dee and I reviewed last night’s WWE Money in the Bank, which emanated from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. There were three championship matches, one MITB ladder match, AJ Styles vs. John Cena and a new WWE champion was crowned.
They say that you can never go home again. Well, in a small way, I was able to last Friday when attending an Eastern Pro Wrestling (EPW) event.

Adam Kohn and I look at the 32 participants as there were some expected names and some surprises. We also discuss the overall landscape of cruiserweight wrestling in 2016 as we could be in the midst of a renaissance for the division.
Never has a WWE contracted wrestler been allowed to fight in a professional combative setting. That all changed on Saturday when it was announced on the UFC 199 pay-per-view broadcast that Brock Lesnar will make his return to the octagon next month at UFC 200 on July 9th. Monday, on SportsCenter, it was announced that Lesnar’s opponent at UFC 200 will be Mark Hunt. There are so many interesting variables to this unprecedented announcement.
