Generally here at Cultaholic, we look for silver linings. If a wrestling show is average or mediocre, the lads and I can generally find something good among the bad to extol the virtues of. But...
For some reason, I tend to look back at Survivor Series 2009 with plenty of fondness. With two good World title matches (one of which being great), two very good elimination bouts, and a well-done...
Superhero characters being faced with moral dilemmas can make for good television, especially a heroic figure that had been presented as bulletproof for a lengthy stretch. John Cena was a part of the...
When you watch a bald Shawn Michaels, a physically-compromised Triple H, and a much more sluggish Kane and The Undertaker shuffle their way through the slowest main event this side of a turtle...

The following two statements are apparently true: You don't have to watch the weekly TV shows in order to enjoy a pay-per-view Actually, skipping the weekly TV shows just to watch the...
For the fourth consecutive year, WWE produced a WrestleMania that, from the beginning of the Kickoff show to the final fade-out, lasted about as long as a state funeral. This isn't to say that...
CM Punk's one-sided loss to Mike Jackson this past Saturday night at UFC 225 provoked a range of responses. While some chastised Punk for continuing what seems like a losing battle as a lesser-skilled...
