In what has become as predictable a tradition as the showcase of the immortals itself, World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has commenced its annual post-WrestleMania ritual of bidding farewell to a swath of contracted talent Perhaps the record profits from incredibly expensive ticket prices and Saudi Arabian blood money are running tight this year, or maybe[...]

Tonight, my fellow wrestling enthusiasts, we have a most glorious episode of WWE SmackDown on our hands, the post-WrestleMania edition, which as any good Marxist knows is the second most important show of the year! So pour yourself a generous glass of whatever is being smuggled across your borders this week, and let us preview[...]

Comrades! El Presidente reviews AEW Dynamite from Portland, where Darby Allin retained, the Death Riders abducted Ospreay, and Jericho recruited The Hurt Syndicate!

But I have torn myself away from this revolutionary leisure to bring you the latest absurdity from the WWE propaganda machine, which has apparently decided that actual wrestling is for chumps and what the people really want is more "worked shoot" nonsense that would make even Vince Russo in his TNA heyday say, "Compadres, perhaps[...]

Greetings, comrades! It is I, your beloved El Presidente, reporting to you live from the velvet-lined war room of my presidential palace, where my generals and I are currently drafting invasion plans against a neighboring island nation that dared to import bananas cheaper than mine! But enough about geopolitics, comrades – we have wrestling to[...]

As my friend Muammar Gaddafi once told me, "The best drama is when everyone in the group eventually turns on each other." He was talking about his cabinet, but it applies equally to professional wrestling stables. Gunther and LA Knight Backstage Jackie Redmond interviewed Gunther backstage, and the man was as smug as ever after beating Seth[...]

Between the greatest WrestleMania in the history of professional wrestling AND the greatest surprise party in the history of raccoon-human relationships, The Chadster is running on pure adrenaline and leftover curly fries right now Tonight's WWE Raw is the much-anticipated Raw after WrestleMania, and The Chadster cannot wait to see how WWE follows up on[...]

When the news first hit, there were a lot of folks who made it clear that holding a "WrestleMania" in Saudi Arabia is problematic, to say the least – including some who will end up wrestling on the card anyway But that's not what this is about This is about pitching AEW head Tony Khan[...]

Short women's matches, overlong entrances, too many advertisements, celebrity interference in the main event from Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee, and a general sense that the soul of professional wrestling has been hollowed out and replaced with a corporate algorithm designed to extract maximum profit from minimum effort The enshittification of WWE under TKO continues[...]

There is a term gaining considerable traction in the lexicon of contemporary digital culture: "enshittification." Coined to describe the inexorable process by which a once-beloved platform or product systematically degrades itself — first by serving its users, then by exploiting them to court business partners, and ultimately by exploiting everyone in service of shareholder returns —[...]

Priorities, comrades! But I cannot help feeling that McAfee driving Orton away from the arena is a metaphor for this entire storyline — McAfee has been driving the actual wrestling AWAY from the main event build for weeks! The Wyatt Sicks vs The MFTs — Eight-Man Tag Team Street Fight Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, JC Mateo, and[...]

Comrades, this is basically how every political transition works in my country! Jacob Fatu, The Samoan Werewolf, is one of the most terrifyingly intense performers in all of wrestling, and Drew McIntyre is a Scottish Psychopath who has been pushed to his absolute breaking point These two threw each other off a steel balcony on[...]

The fans have responded about as enthusiastically as my people respond to new tax initiatives! Even WWE had to discount tickets by 25%, which is still better than my approval rating discount of 75%! But will tonight's WWE SmackDown address these concerns? Will they pivot away from the celebrity overload and focus on the wrestling? Comrades,[...]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, comrades — a principle I have employed many times in geopolitics, and one that applies equally well to professional wrestling on AEW Collision. Jack Perry Wants the Don Callis Family's Best Jack Perry cut a backstage promo about his first successful defense of the AEW National Championship against Mark[...]

However, this Thursday move means that AEW Collision: Spring Breakthru will once again go head-to-head with TNA Wrestling's Thursday Night Impact, and we all remember what happened the last time these two shows competed on the same night TNA president Carlos Silva threw such a tantrum that he pulled TNA talent from matches at independent[...]

AEW Dynamite: Spring Breakthru, broadcast live from the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington, on April 15, 2026, produced such a moment when Darby Allin defeated Maxwell Jacob Friedman for the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) World Championship in a main event that will be discussed, dissected, and celebrated for years to come. Darby Allin[...]

😤🥶 No, The Chadster is shaking because Tony Khan has just committed the single most despicable, underhanded, disrespectful act in the history of professional wrestling, and The Chadster is not being hyperbolic when The Chadster says that Tonight, on AEW Dynamite: Spring Breakthru, Darby Allin defeated MJF to become the new AEW World Champion, and[...]

🎉 WWE has been putting together the most incredible WrestleMania card in history, featuring crossover megastars like Jelly Roll, Pat McAfee, IShowSpeed, and Lil' Yachty — celebrities that normal people LOVE and that bring mainstream attention to wrestling in the way that only WWE knows how to do And yet what happens? People on the[...]

In what feels like an obvious piece of marketing that should have happened years ago, all 32 teams will be getting their own special lucha mask, tailored to match the team you're rooting for this season, with a unique look that embodies the spirit of lucha wrestling with the different team logos and colors Giving[...]

The water is bubbling, the state-funded rum is flowing, and I have got some steaming hot pop-culture news for you today! In a screencap from her new music video 'Trouble,' Liv Morgan gets a tattoo while expressing intense emotion. As you know, my heart beats for two things: the inevitable global triumph of socialism, and professional wrestling[...]

Comrades, this is the segment where El Presidente had to take a deep breath and remind himself that professional wrestling has always featured celebrities, and that this is not a personal attack on him specifically It is not! I keep telling myself this! But the fact that this match is opening WrestleMania Saturday is the[...]

That's why it is precisely the kind of feud that gives El Presidente hope for the future of professional wrestling Last week on WWE Raw, Rollins accused Gunther of making a backroom deal with Paul Heyman, and the two brawled like two generals fighting over the last helicopter out of a collapsing regime — trust[...]
