NXT wasn’t the only show in town this Wednesday. OK, so there were no title defenses, and there wasn’t anything as epic as Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch, and no massive swerves like the debut of Samoa Joe, but it was still a fun night of wrestling.

This past week was probably the biggest week in wrestling in Philadelphia history since WrestleMania 15. There was a CZW/WSU doubleheader, two Ring of Honor/New Japan Pro Wrestling shows, and two NXT shows. That’s a shit-ton a wrestling. In trying to get prepared for all of these shows, and get caught back up to what I missed while in Japan, I noticed something while doing my research. Sure, WWE has always kind of been at the forefront of reality TV, what with the Divas Searches, the original NXT, Legend’s House, and now the return of Tough Enough. But what I found was that a lot of wrestlers were involved in reality shows before they were ever on the WWE map. While I’m sure most people know that Chris Jericho and Stacy Keibler were on Dancing with the Stars, odds are you don’t know about the rest of these reality show appearances.

Now that everyone is talking about The Joker again with the reveal of his look for Suicide Squad, let’s take a look at some of the most memorable evil clown characters from all over.

As any wrestling fan knows, history is loaded with gimmicks that failed for any number of reasons. I could easily sit here writing about them until my fingers fall off, so I’ll just stick with some of my personal, uh . . . “favorites.”

Sorry this took so long, but I’ve been sick since when this took place, plus I am leaving for Japan for 3 weeks on Monday. Therefore, the next installment and next new post will most likely be Dojo Wars 28, because starting in May, Dojo Wars is moving from biweekly to weekly! Good thing I prepaid for that VIP pass. Due to my sickness and the time gap between when I wrote this up, the details are a little scarcer than usual. Sorry about that. Funnily enough, even though I’ll be in Japan for three weeks, it isn’t until after I return that I get to see Japanese wrestling, in my hometown no less.

IDW Publishing, CBS Consumer Products and DC Entertainment announced today that they will boldly go where no one has gone before…in brightest day, in blackest night. Two iconic franchises will meet this summer in a legendary crossover event with the release of a six-part comic book miniseries, STAR TREK/GREEN LANTERN: THE SPECTRUM WAR. Both Star Trek and Green Lantern are known for their strong cast of interstellar characters and when they come together for the first time this July, fans new and old are sure to experience a galaxy-sized thrill.

So with tomorrow being Easter, I figured today would be a good time to go over rabbits, seeing as I’ve already done cats, dogs, and mice. What does a giant rabbit have to do with Easter, let alone chocolate? The hell if I know. But just remember, over there, that’s just a guy in a suit. Also, the one at the Menlo Park mall is more convincing.

As nerds, we tend to take things to excessive extremes. Be it memorizing Pi to as many places as we can, to being able to name all the James Bond films in order, or being able to name every Spider Man comic series ever published. Our heads are full of useless information. But I think the most pointless inane thing in my head is a knowledge of the full name of several acronyms. Why do I know that on Knight Rider the Knight Industries Two Thousand fought his evil enemy Knight Automated Roving Robot? I don’t know why. But I do. And that makes me a nerd. The same goes for knowing all the entries below.

Wrestlemania is just around the corner, but it isn’t the only wrestling game in town. This past Wednesday saw a slew of fun matches at the CZW Dojo, including two title defenses.

So this week isn’t really going to be nerdy or funny, at least not the type of funny I try to be with these things. Content has been lighter than usual the last few weeks, and I wanted to explain why. I also hope that maybe this is a little bit informative. If not, whatever, laugh at my pain. But be warned, this is a pretty personal and disgusting entry, so of course I have to share it with the entire internet.
