Friday was a little different. We left work and came rushing over, only to find that the gates hadn’t opened yet…and there was a line, about a mile long, to get in, with that classic “zig-zag” format you see in a line at Disneyland. Luckily, we got in fairly quickly…andContinue Reading
There are some who would say that WWE is wrestling company in flux. That, despite the fact WWE has the support of the majority of wrestling fans, there’s something relatively off about their biggest event of the year.
