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)”

The Mop-Up: Independent Intentions
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”
News, Scuttlebutt, & Rumors
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 Mop-Up: 6th Era Finale
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”
The Mop-Up: Global Conflict V
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”
The Mop-Up (Week of May 12, 2024)
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)”
The Mop-Up (Week of May 5, 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)”
The Mop-Up (Week of Apr. 28, 2024)
It’s truly mind-boggling to think, we’re now OFFICIALLY beginning the final month of the 6th Era of professional wrestling! And let me tell you, folks, I’m already salivating for what’s next in the 7th Era. I mean, we’re on the verge of some major league shifts in the biz, not just with the demise ofContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of Apr. 28, 2024)”
The Mop-Up (Week of Apr. 21, 2024)
Before we dive in, I want to be upfront: this week’s Mop-Up will be a bit shorter than usual. I could sugarcoat it and say I’m sorry, but truth is, it’s been a whirlwind of a week, and sometimes life’s just like that. On top of that, I’ve been stationed at World of Wrestling HQContinue reading “The Mop-Up (Week of Apr. 21, 2024)”
