Kayfabe Tales


Aloha everyone!

Over the past few months, I have been researching hundreds, if not thousands of wrestlers, promotions, and rabbit holes. From all the research I have done, there are a lot of notes and from these notes I’ve have managed to write a lot of content, but I have also started brainstorming some of my own fiction wrestlers and promotions and hope to turn them into a series stories, some will be short stories and others with be longer stories, I calling the project Kayfabe Tales. The series will cover fictional wresters over the course of their career, promotions, and quick snapshots of an angle, an event, or an undercard talent. The first character I will be writing about is a high school footballer who had it all but lost it when he ruined his knee, and how he finds professional wrestling and became a star. Another story, I am working on is about two bad guys in a tag team.  As for how the series will be released, I am still unsure, but I will release a few of shorter stories on the blog. So, look out for this content in the future.

As for the blog itself, I have lots of content and notes I plan on releasing in the coming weeks and months, including possible reviews of wrestling events and shows, and giving my retort on current stories in wrestling.

Thanks for the readership.

Stay safe and support local wrestling.

Pro Wrestling's Mount Rushmore

In sports, the debate continues to rage as fans discuss who is the greatest of all-time or who should is on their Mount Rushmore in a specific sport, and it is no different in professional wrestling. Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair in WCW For me, the greatest wrestling of all-time is Ric Flair. Flair had the ability on the mic to cut amazing promos, his in-ring work was fantastic, and he had the “IT” factor. As for my Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling, I would have Ric Flair, Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, and the fourth spot I feel is interchangeable, but I go with Andre the Giant. Since the mid-1970s, Ric Flair has used the moniker “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, and is regarded as one of the best all-round talents in the wrestling business of all-time. Flair had a 40-year career, spanning from 1972 until 2012, and has noted tenures with Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wres...
