WWE Wrestlemania 41 Night 1 is in the books, and for the most part WWE’s signature event was (outside of the main event) a fairly pedestrian affair. Nothing on here was egregiously bad, nor was anything (again outside of the main event) particularly great. This felt like an episode of Monday Night RAW, except it was set in a football stadium and not an arena. Matches, for the most part, lacked the juice and emotion of the previous Wrestlemanias.

“We’re back!”“It’s got that feeling again!”“We’re SO back!”“It’s the AEW we remember!”I can’t help but wonder if these phrases would have been used during the WCW Nitro Era. Did WCW or even the WWF Attitude Era have its ups and downs? Absolutely. Without question. However both companies never failed to deliver television to be talked about until the next episode. AEW, in my opinion, seems to be in their own era of rekindling their era as well.

There’s the saying a “little bit of country, a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll.”Canadian-born singer Cory Marks isn’t a “little bit” of either country or rock. His influences ranging from the outlaw country sounds of Merle Haggard to Pantera’s vulgar display of power, are all very evident in apparent. You can find his love for the country and hard rock genres in his style, his musicality, his vocals and lyricism.

Bluegrass is as American as apple pie, but not all bottoms in this genre look or sound as though they stepped off the set of O, Brother Where Art Thou? Sometimes, bluegrass bands can take you on an audio odyssey spanning across the mountains and the deserts, visuals of night skies filled with stars. The Kitchen Dwellers are a band that purvey this brand of bluegrass, and it’s catching on with audiences around the country.
