Religion. Fear.Death.Life.Good.War.Nations.Extremists.Evil. Civilians.Land.

So many words, so many feelings. With the recent plot to blow up American bound planes throughout the Atlantic Ocean, the world is once again altered due to terrorism. Security is tight, governments are uneasy, international intelligence is in high gear and people are worried. One thing is for sure our world has changed.

Despite the history of terrorism going back to the 19th century, post 9/11 put things in perspective.

Certain things that some how, some way, cannot be put into words.

Terrorism...our world has changed.

WWE Survivor Series 2023 Review: "Whaddya Wanna Talk About?"

Well, following that premium live event, in the words of Cody Rhodes... "whaddya wanna talk about?"  The obvious is there, right? CM Punk, somehow, makes a bid for another moment-of-the-year candidate for wrestling fans with another "return" - his second over the last four years. This one, back to the WWE, in what felt like the most improbable of opportunities. But as we've learned, WWE truly is where you "never say never".  You can go in so many directions on this one.

The Pondering 10 - Must Watch Wrestling Talent II

It's been so long since I've hammered out a new (or NEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!) Pondering 10 . Life can quickly happen. It moves so fast sometimes that I can't even have a moment to rank things anymore.  Yes, that was part joke, part truth. Whatevs.  Nonetheless, off the heels of one of the most fun years in pro wrestling that I can remember, I thought it was appropriate to UPDATE a previous Pondering 10 - Must Watch Wrestling Talent . This one I made in 2015, and yeah, it's really interesting to see who I was into back then. Some made it. Few changed. Others just disappeared.  Regardless, we're giving the topic a second volume. Let's go babeeeeeeeeeee!  Here is my UPDATED version of my current list of Must Watch Wrestling Talent.  This is MY list. For those who will disagree, you're more than welcome to make your own. :)  --- 10. Josh Alexander - My guy from Impact Wrestling (soon to be TNA again, yay!).
