Wrestling Wrecap: All Shook Up

Welcome to Wrestling Wrecap, a column focused on discussing and dissecting the week in pro wrestling. For the third year in a row, both Raw and Smackdown have followed the post-Mania bliss with a “Superstar Shake-Up.” The alliterative title for the time of year when wrestlers move between brands to provide fresh match-ups and new feuds before they inevitably get run into the ground. This year’s Shake-Up is particularly interesting because in just a few short months Smackdown will be moving to the Fox network. The program will suddenly have the potential to be viewed by a slew of new eyes … Continue reading Wrestling Wrecap: All Shook Up

Wrestling Wrecap: Putting the “Man” in Wrestlemania

Welcome to Wrestling Wrecap, a column focused on discussing and dissecting the week in pro wrestling. Wrestlemania Weekend is finally over.

A Farewell to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

This Friday marks the end of one of the most unique television shows currently on the air. Like its protagonist, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is too hard to summarize. Simply calling it a “musical comedy” does a disservice to the genre-bending, trope-subverting, experience of the show at its best. Through four seasons and well over a hundred songs, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has told a story about love and what we tell ourselves that can mean. Whether it’s romantic, platonic or with one’s self, the show has tackled all of them with aplomb and a healthy dose of Broadway inspiration. Like a few others I’ve spoken to, … Continue reading A Farewell to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
