WWE made their return to televised events in Manitoba with WWE Raw on July 5, 2004. Yours truly was there live for the event, and while I was on my way to checking out from wrestling it was still a blast(at the time).

I remembered very little originally, but it did have the Musical Chairs segment!! So join me as I suffer and re-watch the episode, or cue it up and watch along as I ramble about it!

A few months ago the wrestling world was turned upside down with the announcement of the AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door PPV.   It seemed like the card was starting to take shape last week, but with an injury to CM Punk things changed. There are so many options, and possibilites for this incredible PPV that I needed some help to take a look and fantasy book this. So I reached out to former guest of the show and NEW commentator Justin Morrissette to take a look at some of the potential matches,   Both Justin and I came up with 10 match cards with what we think could possibly be the card, and have some fun with it along the way!! Some people get left off, some are in potential match of the year candidates, and I actually booked Toru Yano!
