Opinionated: Tony Khan – The Man And His Dreams… Of Himself

by Nathan Favel

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for Nerdly. I stopped writing the reviews because I became a jerk. Now, I have to give credit to these wrestling promotions for giving me enough to be upset about. How can so many of these promotions book so many promos and nonsense? Have they ever asked […]

Opinionated: ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ 15 years on…

by Alain Elliott

I am, on the whole, a positive person. Most people who know me would say I am laid back and happy, and this would be true. But I feel like the world we are living is making it harder and harder to be like that. I am luckier than most in that I have lots […]

Opinionated: I bought a PC Engine in 2021… Why?

by Chris Thomas

A Playstation 5 (PS5) would set me back about 500 euros (without games). I already have a Playstation 4, an Xbox One X, Switch and an “OK” gaming PC that can just about run Cyberpunk with the settings down low. I do not see the need for me to pick up a PS5, or the […]

Opinionated: Is Haruhi Suzumiya’s Endless Eight Worth Watching?

by Xenia Grounds

In my review for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I mentioned that there was a set of eight episodes which would need further discussing. It’s a very infamous part of the anime and something that generates a lot of debate among fans on whether it’s worth sitting through or not. We call it ‘The Endless […]

by Xenia Grounds

WARNING: The following article contains some spoilers for Tell Me Why and Life is Strange 2.

Opinionated: Brock Lesnar leaving WWE is a good thing

by Chris Cummings

Now, this isn’t just going to be an article in which an anti-Brock guy rips on Brock Lesnar. I mean, sure… I’m not really a fan of Brock Lesnar in 2020. Back in the mid-2000s when Lesnar was working with the likes of Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle, putting on Iron Man matches on Smackdown […]

Opinionated: The “No Fans” Era of Wrestling Will Be Looked Back on Fondly

by Chris Cummings

Wrestling fans. We’re odd sorts. We love pro-wrestling, and when we find something we love about it, we rave and we jump for joy and we shout from the rooftops about how good it is, but man oh man… if we dislike something? Look out. The modern day of pro-wrestling fandom is much different to […]

Opinionated: Who is the Greatest Manager in WWE history?

by Chris Cummings

Oh, wrestling manager, how I miss thee. Remember the 80s? Remember pro-wrestling during the “golden era” and the sheer amount of managers we had on our screens? There was so many, from heel managers both male and female, and valets, we had loads of men and women standing ringside offering an element of potential interference […]

Opinionated: Cinematic Wrestling – This Shouldn’t Happen Often

by Chris Cummings

We all know what a strange time this is right now, and for anybody who has watched any professional wrestling shows since the pandemic began, you’ll know just how strange that is too. No fans.

Wrestling fans will be well aware of how strange this whole period of time has been, as far as the television product.

Opinionated: Why WWE should bring Halloween Havoc back!

by Chris Cummings

Okay, okay… I know this is kind of typical for this time of year, but hear me out. I have a good argument for why WWE should being back the old WCW pay-per-view concept, Halloween Havoc, to their annual PPV schedule. Back in the 80s and 90s (and the year 2000) World Championship Wrestling hosted […]
