AEW Full Gear 2025 has come and past and, in spite of what some on social media may claim, people are actually talking about the show. Heading into the 2025 edition of Full Gear, there was talk that the show felt thrown together out of circumstance. Multiple rematches up and down the card and a match for an active tournament that was for a match stipulation, not any advancement in the actual tournament, all held together by narrative threads that felt more convenient than planned.

2025 is a monumental year for professional wrestling as it will see two of the biggest icons from the 2000s and 2010s finally hang up the boots. In the U.S., John Cena is on his farewell tour with WWE and set to have his final match on Dec. 13 in Washington D.C. for Saturday Night's Main Event. The final opponent has not been set as of writing, though, as a tournament is in progress to see who will lock up with Cena on Dec.

To say the modern professional wrestling scene is loaded with talent would be a massive understatement. AEW and WWE both already have massive rosters, and with the amount of talent to choose from globally, someone could easily build a third nationally televised company and there still be a surplus of talent to pick from. It doesn't mean there aren't obvious standouts, and that is especially true among the women's wrestling renaissance.

Shape-shifting dragons, skeleton ninjas, masked bikers, and perhaps a living incarnation of Death. These are just a few of the ideas and characters that permeated the world of Lucha Underground for four seasons on the El Rey Network. Lucha Underground was the answer to a fairly simple question - what if a Robert Rodriguez directed a movie around an underground wrestling promotion?

Predator’s history on cinema screens can be described as spotty at best. The original 1987 film is still lauded as one of the best sci-fi action films of all-time and one of the best in Arnol…

It seems as though every few years, one promotion in particular emerges to become the hotbed of indie wrestling during that period of time. This list includes early Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Gue…

Destiny 2, and Destiny as a franchise really, has had a rollercoaster existence since the first Guardians awoke in the Cosmodrome in 2014. In the universe, players would go on to challenge gods and fight against the apocalypse in the decade that followed as part of the Light and Darkness Saga. The first saga has since ended and Bungie began the Fate Saga, starting with The Edge of Fate as Guardians ventured to Kepler at the behest of the mysterious Nine.

AEW took to pay-per-view once again on Oct. 18, 2025, for WrestleDream live from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri. Coming less than a month after All Out, some fans wouldn't be wrong for feeling WrestleDream was thrown together in fairly short order. That being said, it is still AEW on pay-per-view and no show in 2025 may have delivered a better in-ring than WrestleDream.

"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war." There may be no universe summed up better in one sentence than Warhammer 40,000. A universe in the distant future engulfed in almost endless war and carnage as multiple entities vie for domination across the stars, though what that domination looks like depends on which entity it is.

In the years following Avengers: Endgame's release, it has been an up-and-down road for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The massive franchise still churned out several successful films and shows, but there also seemed to be just as many disappointing releases critically, commercially, or both. The last few years saw the releases of Eternals, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and Secret Invasion, all three of which sit as three of the worst received releases in MCU history.

It has been a roller coaster of a few years for the video game industry. One the hand, the industry was hit hard by the aftermath of several major acquisitions, thousands of layoffs, and many lackluster releases. On the other, multiple new, high-profile independent studios have emerged across the globe and there appears to be renewed effort to fill the gap between the major $70 releases and smaller indie titles, especially at a time when there appears to be a growing dissatisfaction in tentpole, AAA-style games.

In the roughly six years of All Elite Wrestling's existence, the wrestling industry has been through a lot as a whole. AEW was no exception with plenty of highs and lows in the company's young history, but one thing remained constant - great in-ring action. The action reflected an almost all-star roster of wrestlers from all over the world to make AEW "where the best wrestle."

Have you ever had a cloud hanging over your head when it comes to shows or movies? That one that you keep telling yourself "I'll get to it eventually" but the longer you put it off, the more it bites at you? THAT.......was One Piece for me. So to tip my age a bit, One Piece is something I have been aware of since I was a kid.

Just a guy trying to celebrate his fandoms at minimum wage.
