What do you mean this is my first column since September? What the hell have I been doing for the last six months?! I’d love to blame my absence on tariffs or the general chaos we’re all living through, but let’s be honest—I don’t understand the economy. Hell, call me Midget Hogan, because I alsoContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of March 16, 2025)”

Welcome back to the Mop-Up! As much as I wish I had the week off, I wasn’t fortunate enough to snag an invite to Mr. Murrey’s men’s retreat. With WWE taking a break, let’s dive into the highlights from this week’s Undisputed League Wrestling. The Dominance of Bron Breakker:One thing ULW is nailing so farContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of Sept. 15, 2024)”

Welcome back to the Mop-Up! It’s hard to believe that Labor Day is already here, marking the unofficial end of summer and the start of the fall season. We’ve had a thrilling first two months in the 7th Era of Professional Wrestling, packed with some unforgettable moments. So, let’s get to it! ULW: As AEWContinue reading “The Mop-Up: End of Summer Edition”

WWE: Theory of a Dead Man: One of the highlights of WWE programming this week was the opening to Monday Night Raw, when Murrey Entertainment CEO Jeff Murrey made what has unfortunately become an increasingly rare appearance to piss upon the grave of Mickey Mouse Jr. The scene comes after the ULW, under the bannerContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of Aug. 4, 2024)”

Well, well, well – look who’s back! It’s me, the one and only Chris Hyatt! Normally, this is where I’d launch into my spiel about being the hardest working wrestling journalist on the planet, but I’ll spare you that for now since this is actually my first column of the era nearly a full monthContinue reading “The Mop-Up: Independent Intentions”

I know it’s been mentioned before, but there truly hasn’t been a time in wrestling as wildly unpredictable as this. We’re just 48 hours away from the World of Wrestling Draft—assuming it doesn’t get moved to tomorrow evening, as Megan and Sami are advocating. My sources report that the heads of BWM Inc. and SeventhContinue reading “News, Scuttlebutt, & Rumors”

The old saying goes, “The days are long, but the years are short,” and that pretty much sums up my feelings after Armageddon 4: Mickey’s Endgame, AEW Retribution, and the end of the 6th Era of professional wrestling. It’s a somber yet exciting time as the industry prepares to move forward without the Mouse menContinue reading “The Mop-Up: 6th Era Finale”

Fittingly dubbed “The Eve,” PWI-HCW’s Global Conflict V was MMouse Enterprises final show of the 6th Era to go head-to-head with BWM Inc., though we could argue that Armageddon 4: Mickey’s Endgame and Retribution are competing against one another, even if they’re separated by 24 hours, but more on that later (for real this time,Continue reading “The Mop-Up: Global Conflict V”

It’s kind of hard to believe that this is the third-to-last Mop-Up of the era, but time marches on for all men and there’s no point in getting sentimental. By now I’m sure you’ve all heard about the PWI’s ratings victory this week – it’s such a rare occurrence that there’s literally a parade andContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of May 12, 2024)”

Greetings and salutations, and all that shit. We’re back for another installment of the Mop-Up, and I’ve got the cold from hell so I’m in a pretty bad mood. WWE was off this week, because Chairman Murrey had something going on (I honestly forget what at this point, but either way, it just means I’veContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of May 5, 2024)”
