                The Road to Wrestlemania continues and I thought it'd be prudent to take a look at the matches where the wrong person won. It's kind of crazy to think about how badly they got it wrong. There was a bit of good wrestling this week and with Revolution behind us as well, Wrestlemania is only three weeks away. They're doing their best building towards Wrestlemania matches and failing with some of them. Impact. ROH. I'm covering it all. Oh, and Taya Valkyrie is All-Elite!

                From the publisher's feed

                Greetings and salutations! You've come to the right place for a unique experience, one that is bold and BLACK! Black voices on the topic of professional wrestling where there otherwise might be a few or little to none. I grew up watching pro wrestling and it learned a lot from my mom and uncle who were big wrestling fans. They grew up during Hulkamania and the Nature Boy. History, appreciation, and love. That's what I want to bring you. Most importantly, it'll be a unique voice with unique perspectives.
