The SmarK Rant for AEW Rampage – 04.07.23
I’m writing this fairly late at night because I had other stuff going on today, so I’ll probably check out Battle of the Belts tomorrow when I have more time.

Dave Meltzer rates WM week matches
I have attached a link to wrestling match ratings via the Observer from the WM weekend and surrounding shows. Many of them compare with the ones given by myself, although I was 1/4* higher on the Charlotte match. Please discuss them as needed. Also **** for the FTR match is kind of nuts but that’s our Dave.
The SmarK Rant for WWF Superstars – 08.27.84
OK, this is it for real this time, the go-home show for Summerslam 94, which is where I bid farewell to Superstars for good.

The SmarK Rant for WWE Wrestlemania 39 – Night 2 04.02.23
Well this one is certainly getting overshadowed a little bit by other news today. To be honest, my anticipation for Wrestlemania was mostly satisfied by last night’s show, so this is more of a bonus episode.
And of course if you’re reading this in the future, you can check out Night 1’s rant here:

Say goodbye to Peacock and the Network if this one turns out to be true

The SmarK Rant for AEW Rampage – 03.31.23
HOUSEKEEPING NOTES: I did order the ROH PPV, but I’ve been busy tonight and obviously won’t have time this weekend, so I’m just gonna do Rampage tonight (because it’s short) and then leave ROH until Monday or maybe Tuesday. I’m not really super concerned with spoilers because I’m more wanting to watch it for the match quality anyway.
The SmarK Rant for World Championship Wrestling – 03.21.87
Had a couple of requests to go back to these again and continue the rise of Lex Luger, and you don’t have to twist MY arm.
The SmarK Rant for AEW Dynamite – 03.29.23

Wrestling Observer Flashback – 11.18.96
Apparently Bret Hart’s negotiations with WCW were so potentially fruitful that someone else is wanting to give it a try.
The SmarK Rant for WWF Superstars – 08.20.94
You know, I did promise that I’d get through Summerslam before I dropped this show forever, so I might as well make good. Two episodes left.
The SmarK Rant for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling – 10.23.82
OK, gonna try Safari. Not my favorite browser but I can change.
The SmarK Rant for AEW Rampage – 03.25.23
Not only have I gone through the life altering change of switching from PC to Mac recently, but now WWE Network is giving my computer some pretty serious rebooting issues when I use it through Chrome, so I’m also switching to Firefox for the time being. I’M OLD AND I DISLIKE CHANGE, CONSARNIT! Actually Firefox lets you pop out the video and resize it, which is pretty cool.

The SmarK Rant for WWE NXT – 12.12.12
Whoa, trippy date.
Also why the bloody hell am I getting ads on the WWE Network before shows again? I thought they knocked that crap off when they moved to Peacock. Considering how expensive it is to subscribe in Canada they should be plugging my blog or something.
The SmarK Rant for WWE Playlist – The Bloodline Complete Story
Oh yeah, now THIS is the kind of stuff that the WWE Network should be doing more of, replacing the old DVD compilations with 2 hour storyline recaps for those of us who don’t want to watch 25 hours of TV shows every week to catch up on the story headed into Wrestlemania.
The SmarK Rant for AEW Dynamite – 03.22.23
Stupid work, interfering with my wrestling viewing. Also by the time you read this, I’ll have my tickets for Dynamite in Saskatoon this July!
