Solomonster reviews WWE WrestleMania Backlash 2022, a show that he had little excitement for coming into it but ended up exceeding his expectations.  It was still mostly a filler show, but the action was largely very good and the talent delivered with The Bloodline picking up a win they didn't need, Ronda Rousey winning the Smackdown Women's championship and sending Charlotte Flair off television for a while, and Rhea Riple...

News of the FORBIDDEN DOOR show being hosted by AEW and New Japan has generated a lot of excitement this week, but also, a lot of phony concern from certain fans online about how AEW is failing to attract "casual viewers" with such a show.  Solomonster hasn't seen this many horrendous takes since... well, given this community, probably only a week ago.  He puts these fools in their place and explains why it's okay f...

It was just two months ago that Solomonster wondered if it would take killing someone to wake up Tammy Sytch after being hit with 11 charges in the state of New Jersey.  Sadly, someone has now lost their life as a result of her reckless actions.  He talks about exactly what happened, why she isn't behind bars right now and minces no words in making it clear how he feels about the situation.  He also addresses Tony Khan and his ...
