IMPACT X NJPW: Multiverse United 2 (Review)

South Philadelphia’s wrestling faithful took in a Sunday afternoon collaboration between IMPACT Wrestling and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Multiverse United 2, the third such event of its kind, was more of a house show than a pay-per-view. And you know something? It was just what the doctor ordered.

15 Wrestling Comic Book Covers

Pro Wrestling is often described as a live-action comic book. Both mediums are prime destinations for bombastic storytelling with larger-than-life characters. It’s not a surprise that the two genres often intersect.

Batista and John Cena have earned critical acclaim for their big-screen superhero roles as Drax and Peacemaker, respectively.

Marvel and DC Comics use wrestling as a vehicle to produce the next great issue, with a cover providing a peek of the body slaming goodness within its pages.

Get out your long boxes and search those spin racks. It’s time to look at 15 pro wrestling comic book covers.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (Review)

Published by Forces of Geek – 6/12/23

There is a harrowing bridge to cross midway through the film where Regé-Jean Page’s knight in shining armor, Xenk, explains the precise formula to avoid the bridge’s Gnomish trap.

One must begin at the center, using odd number blocks only, moving forward with each step, except for every fifth step, which must be a lateral move.

The “quite simple” formula represents everything I loathe about the D&D game.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is an adventure film based on the popular roleplaying game of the same name that follows a charming band of unlikely heroes who embark on an epic heist that goes dangerously awry.

The Pope’s Exorcist (Review)

Published by Forces of Geek – 7/12/23

The subgenre of exorcism horror films has made its mark in cinema. Some might conclude that if you’ve seen one scary movie with crucifixes, holy water, and contorting heads, you’ve seen them all. The subject of Director Julius Avery’s latest film, however, promises a different and higher-stakes version of possession-filled chaos.

The Pope’s Exorcist follows Father Gabriele Amorth, whose occupation is precisely what the title says. Academy Award winner Russell Crowe plays the Vatican’s leading exorcist, investigating reported possessions around the globe.

White Men Can’t Jump (2023 Review)

Published by Forces of Geek – 6/5/23

Y’all act like white men can’t dunk.”

Myles Bullock’s Renzo states in a baffled tone when the crowd at a basketball tournament erupts as Jack Harlow’s Jeremy unleashes a dunk during a pivotal juncture in the big game.

In many ways, Renzo’s perplexed statement is a commentary on the past and present this film represents.

White Men Can’t Jump is a remake of the beloved 1992 sports comedy starring Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Fast forward 31 years, and now Sinqua Walls (Power) and fast-rising rap star Jack Harlow are the lead hoopers.

Jeremy (Harlow) and Kamal Allen (Walls) are two people who are hard up for money and team up to use their considerable basketball talents to make ends meet.

The means, however, is unstable, and a big win by the pair is needed to set things right for them and their loved ones.

Did Bobby Heenan Spoil Hulk Hogan’s Heel Turn?

Who is the third man? It was the biggest mystery in professional wrestling when twenty-seven years ago, 250,000 households ordered WCW Bash at the Beach on pay-per-view.

Speculation was white hot about who would join Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, the aptly named Outsiders, who seemingly represented promotional competitor WWF in their crusade to take over WCW.

“Macho Man” Randy Savage, Lex Luger, and Sting would symbolically lose the first battle in what became a multi-year war to Hall, Nash, and their “surprise buddy,” Hulk Hogan. And Bobby “The Brain” Heenan ruined the whole thing.

But did he?

Wrestling’s Star Spangled Couture

Happy 4th of July, everyone. Before I grill up some burgers and hot dogs, I thought it would be good idea to look at some of the star spangled fashion choices made by wrestlers over the years.

Some wrestlers, like our cover model Kurt Angle is always clad in the stars and stripes. Others break out their patriotism on special occasions.

Let’s look at eight wrestlers who in one form or another, applied old glory to their in-ring aesthetic.

WWE Money in the Bank 2023: Uso Pins Reigns In Tag Team Thriller

Whoever said, “A bad day in London is still better than a good day anywhere else,” doesn’t go by the name Roman Reigns.

The Bloodline Civil War tag team encounter pitting The Usos against Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns headlined WWE Money in the Bank on Saturday from the O2 Arena in London, England.

The Square Mile deserved a historical moment for its first worldwide PLE in over 30 years, and they got one. Roman Reigns suffered his first pinfall loss since losing to Baron Corbin at TLC in 2019.
