We’re back with the Draft, Roman Reigns (kind of) and Final Deletion because we need to talk about it.
We’re back with the Draft, Roman Reigns (kind of) and Final Deletion because we need to talk about it.
Over the years WWE has aired a lot of pay per views and major shows. You’ve probably seen most of the big ones, be it Wrestlemania, the Royal Rumble, Summerslam or Survivor Series. Those shows are always hyped up and treated as the biggest shows of the year but what about the other shows? Just because something isn’t treated as something very important doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be looked at again as there is almost always something hidden in there worth checking out.
In this book, I’ll be taking a look at forty WWF/E specials airing over a period of over thirty years. These shows include pay per views, big time house shows that were taped for TV and live WWE Network specials. I’ll be including play by play and analysis as we take a look at a long series of shows that you might have forgotten about as some of them weren’t the biggest shows in the world but they’re certainly worth checking out. These are all new reviews that were specifically done for this book.
Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search “KB Grab Bag” and it should be the first thing to come up.
Also you can still get any of my previous books on the WWE Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, Monday Night Raw from 1997, 1998 and 2001, Monday Nitro from 1995-1998, In Your House, Summerslam, Starrcade, ECW Pay Per Views, Royal Rumble, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWF and WCW pay per views from 1998, Wrestlemania, NXT and Clash of the Champions at my author’s page here.
I hope you like it and shoot me any questions you might have.

As is always the case I’ll be doing last year’s show but you can pick the show I redo this year. 1998 was done last year so that’s out of the running as well. This will be a fresh redo and not just a reposting of one I did years ago. Vote in the comments.
For some reason I’m not getting emails when someone posts a comment so I’ve been having to check each one on my own. Please bear with me if I can’t get to them as fast as I normally do.

THe show is back with an Extreme Rules recap and a barrage of fresh TNA jokes.
Apparently comments weren’t working on there for some reason. It should be fine now.
I think it’s safe to say that you’ve heard a thing or two about NXT. Over the last few years the promotion, originally designed as little more than a dumping ground for the young talent brought into the company, has become the hottest promotion in the world. The weekly TV show has become a highlight and must see for most wrestling fans as new talent from all over the world shows up, almost making it an independent all-star promotion under the WWE banner. This isn’t even starting to look at the live specials on the WWE Network.
In this book, I’ll be taking a look at over one hundred and thirty NXT shows, including every live special they’ve aired to date. This ranges from the first live special in February 2014 with Arrival and goes all the way through Takeover: Dallas with every episode of the TV show included in between. I’ll be including play by play and analysis as we take a look at what helped make NXT the hottest thing in the world of professional wrestling. Also, all of the live specials have been redone with new reviews.
Or if you’re in another country with its own Amazon page, just search “NXT Full Sail II” and it should be the first thing to come up.

I appeared on this show with Killjoy last Saturday night and completely forgot to mention it. It’s the two of us talking about Wrestlemania weekend and my experiences there. There are some tech issues at the start but give it some time.

Made the drive from Dallas back to Lexington today so things should be back to the normal schedule starting Thursday. I’ve already got the Wrestlemania pre-show done so I’ll start on the beast of a show tomorrow.

In case you haven’t heard, the wife and I are heading down to Dallas for the weekend for Wrestlemania and associated acts.
We’ll be taking in Takeover: Dallas, Axxess on Saturday, Axxess again on Sunday morning where we get to meet Shawn Michaels himself, then Wrestlemania and of course Raw the next night. Just like two years ago, things are going to be a bit slow around the weekend as I can only get in so much reviewing while I’m in the hotel. This is also our honeymoon so she’s actually expecting me to spend time with her instead of something important.
Therefore, the reviews are all going to be a bit behind but I’ll be making posts for discussion before we leave and I’ll put up a quick live recap/thoughts on each show after we get back to the hotel each night. Once I get back home I’ll be looking at the shows in full for the regular reviews.
