Though the official ratings numbers have yet to be tallied, I think it’s safe to say that last Monday was probably the biggest day this era has seen — and it’s a day I do not anticipate will be topped anytime soon, at least in the sense of all three companies presenting major shows withContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Post Halloween Edition”

It’s been a long minute since any World of Wrestling pundit has earned their keep around here, but with all the excitement about tomorrow night, I had to put SOMETHING together to acknowledge just how spectacular the Fall of 2025 has been thus far. When the season began back in July, things were really lookingContinue reading “The Mop-Up: October Mega Edition”

Apologies for my absence last week, I was pretty rattled after I was visited by the ghost of Casey Jones. Then, I woke up, and realized that it wasn’t a ghost, the ULW was seriously trying to get Jones over as a solo act in the year 2025. Anyways… ULW: AJ Continues to Deliver: InContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Double-Stuffed Edition”

WWE: SummerSlam Delivers: I don’t want to get too in the weeds regarding SummerSlam this week, as half the show took place last week, and this column is supposed to cover the week that was. That does include Night 1, though, which saw me vindicated for my abbreviated predictions I posted on social media overContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Week of July 27, 2025”

WWE: The Beast’s On Hold: Brock Lesnar, in the throes of a career resurgence and fresh off being the overall No. 1 pick in the 2025 World of Wrestling Draft, has been benched just weeks into his WWE return. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced during a Wednesday press conference that, after back to back lossesContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Week of July 20, 2025”

Welcome back to the Mop-Up! No, I’m not apologizing for missing the deadline. We both know any apology from me would be the kind of empty, performative nonsense reserved for press conferences and Instagram breakup notes. Just be grateful you’re getting anything at all. I’m a busy man. I’d love to drop the hottest wrestlingContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Quick Hits for the Week of July 13, 2025”

Tomorrow is the 4th of July—which, in the world of professional wrestling, has nothing to do with America’s 249th birthday and everything to do with the season premieres of WWE and ULW. That’s right: Independence Day isn’t just fireworks and forced family cookouts anymore. For nearly half a decade, it’s marked the official kickoff ofContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Season 2 Preview”

Damn, it feels good to be back. You didn’t seriously think I’d sit out Draft Season, did you? Please. But before I can dive into all that, I’ve gotta take a quick look at where the competition stands after their season finales. Now, as much as I’d love to wax poetic about Exodus’ ratings dominanceContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Season Finale Edition”
