July 2016 – Hoffing Fumes
https://hoffingfumes.wordpress.com/2016/07
Words, thangs, and stuff. I haven’t had the opportunity to write in a while due to [insert wrestling reference here]. Too much personal stuff, really, and most of my entries will be spaced out. 2016 has been an interesting year, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. Regardless, I’ve kept up with WWE even though I haven’t been documenting it (and yes, I did watch TNA’s Final Deletion, which was majestic), but I was genuinely shocked by how good. Probably the best match of the night was Owens versus Zayn, whi...

Words, thangs, and stuff. NXT (25/05/16) and Smackdown (26/05/16) Review & Nitpicking. First of all, you knew this wasn’t going to be on time. I went to the land of Cesaro and it was great, and then I got back here, and it was grey. Life is hard and then you die. But more importantly, let’s talk about the Brand Split. From July 19,. Will be broadcast live, and will be a separate brand with its own roster. It will also air on Tuesdays, with. In that time, and it was generally regarded as the better show&#...

Words, thangs, and stuff. NXT (18/05/16) and Smackdown (19/05/16) Review & Nitpicking. Once again, apologies for lateness. I’ve been booking a holiday, which is easier than booking NXT alumni on the main roster. HI-OH! But seriously, let’s all take a minute of silence for Apollo Crews. Cody, you will be missed. There is more to wrestling than. There’s your motivation immediately. So what makes a great rivalry? Is it a simple dichotomy between good and evil, or is it in the pursuit of the end goal? Each f...

Extreme Rules (22/05/16) Review & Nitpicking – Hoffing Fumes
https://hoffingfumes.wordpress.com/2016/05/23/extreme-rules-230516-review-nitpicking
Words, thangs, and stuff. Extreme Rules (22/05/16) Review & Nitpicking. Oh look; I’m on time. Suck it. I thought this was an excellent show. Not perfect, but what is? Commentary-wise, Mauro Ranallo screaming that Baron Corbin. 8220;pulverised Ziggler’s plums in his fruit basket”. After a really forceful low-blow is –. 8211; the greatest line of commentary of the night, if not ever. Whereas some have blood on their hands when they win, Corbin now has balls. The Usos – Doc Gallows and Luke Anderson. This o...

RAW (06/06/16) Review & Nitpicking – Hoffing Fumes
https://hoffingfumes.wordpress.com/2016/06/11/raw-060616-review-nitpicking
Words, thangs, and stuff. RAW (06/06/16) Review & Nitpicking. I didn’t do NXT or Smackdown reviews last week due to time constraints with other events involving a mop and Perry Saturn. You didn’t miss much though. In contrast, on. This week, a group of men all stood on individual ladders whilst a suitcase dangled above them, and they argued. It was very silly, and kind of took the form of toddlers bickering…and it set the tone for the rest of the episode. And much how an embodied perceiver can perceive t...

Words, thangs, and stuff. NXT Takeover: The End Review & Nitpicking. But “The End”: what does that mean? I think it means the end to the roster that carried NXT to greatness: Bayley and Finn Bálor possibly moving up to the main roster, but more likely the end to the feud between Bálor and Samoa Joe. In post, Triple H (Paulie Levz) said that NXT is no longer developmental but its own brand, which -I hope to God – doesn’t mean that a McMahon is getting involved. This was a great match, with an excellent pe...

November 2013 – Hoffing Fumes
https://hoffingfumes.wordpress.com/2013/11
Words, thangs, and stuff. In Films and Thangs. Based on a true story, Steve Coogan and Judi Dench give brilliant performances in a Frears film that firmly maintains the balance between funny and tragic. Yet with this self-loathing, there is also jovial warmth, endless conversing, and a fascination with the lives of everyone she encounters. In many ways, she reminds me of my Irish grandmother, and not just because of Dench’s excellent accent. With bias, this makes Philomena’s comments on American ...It is...

Words, thangs, and stuff. Jimmy Snuka and Misogyny in Wrestling. Here’s a piece I did for Hollywood Hegemony:. In light of the charges brought against Jimmy Snuka, Adam Hofmeister examines the history of misogyny in professional wrestling. TW: graphic descriptions of violence against women, rape, domestic violence. Hogan’s ejection (try to scrub. I shit you not. 8211; settle a custody dispute? Superfly: the Jimmy Snuka Story. Needless to say, WWE has suspended Snuka’s. Contract and removed his page from ...
