A Look Back: Rey Mysterio's Road to WrestleMania 22
Without question, the Royal Rumble is my all-time favorite event. You would think I'd say WrestleMania, but the Rumble is where it's at. The Royal Rumble Match has all of the chaos of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs, and it's all rolled up into an hour-long match. Since 2018, we now have two Royal Rumble Matches: a Men's match and a Women's match. Hard to believe that we are at Year Nine of the Women's Royal Rumble, when once upon a time, something like that was just a pipe dream.

A Deep Dive Into Nattie Neidhart's Evil Motivations
It's amazing that this upcoming April will mark 18 years since Natalya Neidhart debuted on WWE's main roster, doing so on SmackDown. Wrestling is literally in her blood, coming from the prestigious and hallowed Hart family, and overall, Nattie's been displaying her immense talents for over a quarter-century. Her SmackDown debut was a villainous one, and to this day, I still say that her name being stylized to "Natalya" was done to make her more evil and sinister (it's an amazing touch).

Conference Championship Recap: Winter Comes for Thee
I absolutely love Conference Championship Sunday; as I have said before, the final round before the championship round is always spectacular. The NBA and the NHL have the Conference Finals, MLB has the League Championship Series, and when it comes to the NFL, it's the Conference Championship, with both games taking place on the last Sunday in January. The stakes are simple: the winner of each Conference Championship will be in the big one, Super Bowl LX.

"Beyond the Gates" Weeks 45 & 46 Recap
I did mention this in the last recap, but it is hard to believe that Beyond the Gates is closing in on celebrating one year on CBS. It seemed like yesterday that the very first episode aired. It seemed like yesterday that I actually watched a full episode of a soap for the first time in my entire life. But in actuality, it was just over 11 months ago. Very amazing. Beyond the Gates continues to excel, to excite, and to impress in just under a year's time.

Power Rangers Review: "White Light"
It's been a few minutes since I last wrote a Power Rangers review, but I know where I left off. For those of you who remember, I don't do every episode, just the stand out moments, and the franchise has had quite a few. The last review I wrote covered the permanent end of the Green Ranger, and as I said before, I took this much better than I did regarding the candle in Season One, because this time, there was no way out, no Plan B. Tommy received mentions following the end of the "Green No More" arc, with a big one coming in the following episode, "Missing Green," which centered on Jason's guilt and self-blame regarding Tommy losing his powers.

Homestand Part VII: Boy, Our Power Play Sucks!
After two and a half weeks and some wild moments, the Colorado Avalanche's seven-game homestand came to an end on Friday night. Here's how the homestand went as of this point. First off, a blow out win over the Ottawa Senators that saw the Avs score six times in the second period. This was followed by a shutout win over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The third game of the homestand was an overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs that snapped the Avs' 17-game home winning streak, but the fourth game saw us lose in regulation on our own ice for the first time this season; a 7-3 loss to the Nashville Predators.

Homestand Part VI: Hitting a Wall
The Colorado Avalanche got back on the winning track with the big win over the Washington Capitals on MLK Day, with that win coming after our first home regulation loss to the Nashville Predators. Regarding this, our sixth game of our seven-game homestand, the team formerly known as Les Nordiques welcomed Les Canards, the Ducks, to Ball Arena. This was the second meeting between the Avs and Ducks, and the last meeting was also in Denver, we still have a trip to SoCal coming in this set.

Homestand Part V: Yet Another Mack-tacular Milestone
The Colorado Avalanche were coming off actually losing back-to-back games at home, which included losing in regulation on home ice for the first time all season. A 2-1-1 stretch in this homestand; the Avs welcomed the Washington Capitals in the fifth game in this set, a Capitals team who is looking for something following their second round exit last season.

Divisional Playoff Recap: Josh Allen is a Choke Artist, Stop Pretending He's Not
As long as I can remember, I've always really loved the Divisional Playoff. The Divisional Playoff was originally the opening round of the merged NFL's playoffs, officially born in the same year that the merger happened: 1970. Since 1978, the Divisional Playoff has been the second round, and it's the round where the teams on bye are introduced. In addition, the Divisional Playoff serves as the final week to feature Saturday games, and also kicks off the "set bracket" portion of the playoffs.

Homestand Part IV: Crushed
Well... that happened. The Colorado Avalanche had a long layoff after the overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. That loss snapped a 17-game home winning streak, but the points streak remained. 22 home games, lost three--all past regulation. After three days off, the Avs were back in action against the Nashville Predators, and I always get nostalgic when the Avs and Preds get together. The teams met twice in the playoffs, in 2018 and 2022, and because of those meetings, I've always said that it's fun when these teams get together.

Recapping an Amazing Night for the Knockouts on Impact's AMC Premiere
The broadcast history of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has always been quite interesting. TNA started in 2002, but it wasn't until 2004 that they had an actual TV deal. I remember their days on Fox Sports Net, but it was in the fall of 2005 that TNA moved to what was then known as Spike TV, moving there just days after the network aired WWE's Raw program for the final time. It was around that time that I started watching TNA, and they were on Spike for nine years. After that, it was years of being on a lot of different channels. Destination America and Pop, two channels that no one would know without TNA. It's similar to how TruTV airs the earliest March Madness games. I still remember the brief time when they were on Twitch in 2019, but that ended that fall when they moved to AXS TV.
