Well, another WrestleMania has come and gone. Anyone familiar with my writing knows I don't often place myself amongst the majority of wrestling fans on many things, but I think, for the most part, it's pretty universally agreed that it didn't deliver. I think Punk / Undertaker was a thing of beauty »»
Welcome! This is the ninth out of ten stops on "That Being Said: The WrestleMania Expedition". For anyone unfamiliar with my work or recaps, I have disclaimers at the bottom of the article along with the "Expedition" schedule. So, obviously I haven't looked forward to these past couple shows - W »»

Welcome back. So, it turns out that unless you're a small child or a very maladjusted adult, you probably know that wrestling sucks pretty hard right now. We all know it. As I've mentioned before in my time here on Inside Pulse, most of the enjoyment I get from wrestling these days is reading sit »»
Welcome to "New Rules". New Rule #1: NXT must be re-vamped... ... into a show where you vote for the guy most likely to lose their mind and get caught masturbating in the park. New Rule #2: If you're standing next to an old fat guy who's never wrestled in h »»
Welcome to "New Rules". New Rule #1: Rather than having security remove "Goldberg" signs from fans at every event, maybe consider developing a wrestler in a way that doesn't make millions of fans think "Goldberg". Failing that, if you want to discourage fans from comparing that wrestl »»
[caption id="attachment_148478" align="aligncenter" width="400"] The Sin Cara family now owes the Del Rio family all their remaining lucha masks, seventeen acres of fertile farmland, two plump young women, and six goats.[/caption] Welcome back to Interinactivity - we're improving in the »»
Inside Pulse: Raw rating drops, Vince McMahon and John Cena to appear on Raw. Blair: Well, that's Interinactivity for this week written then. Welcome to "Interinactivity". Last week, I laid out some booking ideas to help some "stars" who are somewhat in limbo right now, and a coupl »»
Welcome back to Interinactivity - management is very pleased with our work. This week, we continue and conclude our talk from last week on the current main event picture in WWE. We'll start with some feedback from Night Of Champions... featuring the return of FD Swayze! FD Swayze: Did you »»
I'm back! Welcome to "Interinactivity", cooler than a Shaemus crowd reaction. This is my return column following my usual summer hiatus. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer - I certainly did, and taking what is definitely going to become a yearly break certainly does motivate me to start »»
There are many things you can point to as evidence that the IWC isn't very bright. One of my favorites has always been the assumptions some people make. For example, if you don't like something TNA is doing, a lot of people will assume you love WWE - and vice versa. One of the other assumptions some »»
So earlier this week, myself and esteemed Inside Pulse writer James Alsop got into a debate about whether I needed to WATCH Raw to have an opinion on the show. Crazy, right? I know. I was going to do an article on that, and push back the original article I had for this week. But then, the comment »»
Welcome to Inside Pulse's LIVE WWE Monday Night RAW coverage for this week! It's me, Blair Douglas, filling in for Widro, who is filling in for... well, I don't know who he's filling in for. Presumably someone that watches RAW live on a regular basis. I don't watch RAW live on a regular basis, and h »»
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to "Interinactivity" - the column that the wonderfully talented Jonah Kue called "An idealistic and somewhat out of touch perspective on wrestling versus a realistic one", and the column that our good friend and frequent contributor Flaming Wombat would call "a de »»
Welcome back to "Interinactivity". This column is moving to more of a "whenever I feel like it" schedule. It will still be on Fridays, but only when I feel like there's enough material to do it with. Oh, and I quit doing TNA recaps. I quit that shit hard. So another WrestleMania has come and gone »»
This week, I'm a bit pressed for time. I'm going through TNA at RECORD speed. Part of this is because I have a half-column I'm working on for tomorrow, and part of it is because TNA is... you know, terrible. Last week was just unbelievable. TNA Impact Wrestling Bobby Roode still sucks. He bought t »»
Before we get started, I have something to say. Last week on Air Up There, I put up a fake link to MyDaughtersFuckingHulkHogan.com. I was staggered to learn that several people actually clicked on it. You guys are sick, disgusting little perverts. All of you are sick. Ah, I'm just kid »»
Welcome! This is the final stop on "That Being Said: The WrestleMania Expedition"! For anyone unfamiliar with my work or recaps, I have disclaimers at the bottom of the article along with the "Expedition" schedule. Well. Here we are. I won't waste time writing a long intro - I'll just say »»

It is with deep regret disappointment sorrow necessity that I announce I will be unable to cover the 3 TNA shows I had planned to do as part of That Being Said: The WrestleMania expedition.

Welcome to "New Rules". New Rule #1: WWE has to stop insulting people's intelligence. Fans are smart enough to know damn well that this is not the first time... ... that AJ has frequented the men's locker room, just like they're smart enough know damn well that this isn't the fi »»
Welcome to "New Rules". New Rule #1: I'm not sure exactly what this is... ... but count me out. New Rule #2: Someone in WWE needs to tell us if they even CONSIDERED giving Alberto Del Rio a Diva that wasn't Latin American. Failing that, I say if they're goin »»
Welcome to "New Rules". I've always hated writing intros. But now that the some of the articles are just basically the "New Rules" segment, I even moreso have no idea how to start them. What is it that you want? It's a joke article. In fact, if you need an intro to this, then maybe an article wit »»
Welcome to "New Rules". No full "Interinactivity" article this week. This is because I was foolishly going to do a one-off TNA recap last night as a surprise. I thought it would be fun, kind of for old times sake. Sounds delightful, wouldn't you say? Then I found out that the main event was St »»
Welcome to a rare installment of my rarely used "Air Up There" series of articles. On my last column before my departure, in the comment section I discussed some booking ideas for struggling stars. They were well-received - so much so that it completely overshadowed the column itself. Whoops. A »»
Welcome back to Interinactivity - it "steps up" and "runs with that ball". Before we get into our main topic, I'm going to address something. I was wondering how long I'd be back before someone pulled something like this - I didn't think it'd happen in my first two days, after having discusse »»
Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the continuation of the That Being Said Indy Scum Tour 2012. Last time, with my good friend Martin Shaw, I reviewed the Asylum Championship Wrestling 10th Anniversary show, which was not nearly as bad as I expected - that article can be found here. This wee »»
Welcome to the illustrious return of "That Being Said" to Inside Pulse. I'm going to begin this recap by stating how TNA has come to this point. If you're only interested in the live results and not how this insane show (and recap) came to be, then by all means, skip down to the "Live Coverage" h »»
Welcome back to "Interinactivity"! I took last week off. Being right all the time is hard work. I did fill in for Widro this week doing the live RAW coverage, though. It's a great recap, at least that's what the Jews who I paid to write it tell me. This week, we're dipping back into the mailbag. »»
Welcome to "Interinactivity". WrestleMania and Extreme Rules has come and gone, so I naturally assumed that I'd be writing something about Shaemus and how I was right a year in advance. But then again, I also naturally assumed that some people would have admitted that I was right - a year in advance »»
Welcome back to another thrilling edition of "Interinactivity". I admit, I haven't watched a lot of wrestling since WrestleMania. All right, so I haven't watched any. I YouTubed the Brock debut and the Bryan / Shaemus reactions, but that's it. Me not watching wrestling is not a pattern that I see ch »»
As any regular readers probably know, I tend not to watch a lot of wrestling on TV, except of course, TNA for the past few weeks, but hopefully that will be over soon. I normally read what was on the show and will YouTube the highlights. I bring this up because I normally DO watch the RAW's leading »»
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another amazing recap, by me, your TEMPORARY TNA Recapper, Blair A. Douglas. After the first few weeks when a replacement still hadn't arrived, I assumed that maybe I had just gone through my entire life to this point, misunderstanding what "temporary" meant. But it »»
I was going to take this week off of a regular article, especially since I'm still recapping shiTNA. However, this week, our own James Alsop brought up an interesting point about Jack Swagger & Santino Marella, regarding the World Heavyweight Title, on an article about TNA ratings. No idea how w »»
