Bobby Roode vs. Kota Ibushi (NXT Live) Match Review

May 31, 2024 | joeybingbong.wordpress.com | Joe Hulbert

Earlier this week, we spent three hours and change talking about Bobby Roode. Along the way, our resident Contrarian mentioned this match. I’d heard about it before, I think, but had no idea that it’d received the Hidden Gems treatment. For those unaware, Hidden Gems was/is a section of the WWE Network that the true losers adored. Anything without a natural home, from the weird to the momentous, would land there.
Dax Harwood vs. Tommy Billington (AEW Collision) Match Review

May 12, 2024 | joeybingbong.wordpress.com | Joe Hulbert

In the grand scheme of things, this is really quite simple. Dax Harwood is on the road to Anarchy in the Arena and before that, a Continental Title tilt with Kazuchika Okada this coming Wednesday. This is a rare singles win to position him for those headline bouts, earning “momentum” as it’s known in the wrestling television game. Better yet, Harwood’s opponent is a newcomer with a remarkably familiar face, giving this a little extra punch than your usual star singles win graphic.

Perusing the Minefield: A Story of OCD and Stigma

Jan 4, 2024 | medium.com | Joe Hulbert

My names Joe. I’m 28 years old and from Bristol in England. I have OCD. I had a pretty normal childhood, living in East Setauket, New York between 2008 and 2012 before moving back to England for the cheaper tuition fees. I have written about my past in other articles I’ve written, but that isn’t the intent here. I just thought it was important to know that I had a normal, healthy and even privileged upbringing. This is important because of what I’m about to write about.

Texas Death Masterpiece, In-Ring Returns & TV Projects | Hulbert’s Weekly Match Guide 11/21

Nov 21, 2023 | wrestlepurists.com | Joe Hulbert

With respect to the other six matches featured in this Guide, just one bout was required to make it a pretty special wrestling week. AEW’s Full Gear PPV only hosted one truly great match in my view, it just happened to be one of the greatest outings in promotional history. That’s the focus here but it’s not all as elsewhere, Chris Hero returns to the ring while Ronda Rousey continues her emerging independent wrestling campaign, stopping through REVOLVER on the way to ROH.
Chris Jericho & Eddie Guerrero vs. The Faces of Fear (WCW Monday Nitro) Match Review

Oct 25, 2023 | joeybingbong.wordpress.com | Joe Hulbert

It’s February 24th 1997, and World Championship Wrestling are in Sacramento, California. It’s a special time for WCW, still very much riding the wave of their nWo angle from the prior summer. While that packs the houses though, Nitro is increasingly reliant on the cruiserweights, providing their programme with weekly world class action. Two of those names are Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero, teaming up here as white-meat babyfaces.

Terry Funk: Doing The Dance

Aug 23, 2023 | wrestlepurists.com | Joe Hulbert

Terry Funk is pro wrestling. Among Funk admirers, that’s a common sentiment, the simplest way to embody what he’s meant to our differing fandoms. This evening, news broke that Funk had passed away and though after recent reports, I wasn’t stunned, my emotions quickly unravelled. It wasn’t the news that shocked me, it was that sudden finality that we’re never quite prepared for.
