Getting some serious spotlight at both this year's WrestleMania and SummerSlam, Paul worked with WWE veteran The Miz in both cases and surprisingly impressed viewers working as both a heel and a babyface While it was assumed Paul knew how to entertain on some level, what has surprised everyone is how competent and genuinely athletic an in-ring[...]

With SummerSlam now in the rearview mirror, this week marked the beginning of a new era in WWE with Triple H, having already taken over creative for the company now being able to stretch his wings a bit now that storylines were resolved at SummerSlam  This past Monday on Raw, while nothing Earth-shaking happened, we did sense a different[...]

In an extremely unfair match, Pat McAfee used a low blow to defeat The Chadster's favorite wrestler, Happy Corbin, at SummerSlam This was just so devastating to The Chadster, who has been waiting for weeks to see Corbin get his revenge on McAfee Making matters worse, Michael Cole was just so biased during this match,[...]

Edge made his return at WWE SummerSlam, helping The Mysterios defeat Finn Balor and Damian Priest It looks like Edge was the person in those cryptic teasers after all The Chadster thought that was probably true, but The Chadster would never dare to try to spoil a WWE storyline That would be just so disrespectful,[...]
