Pat on the Mat is back! Quebec’s premier English language wrestling podcast returns once again to discuss everything in and around the squared circle. Pat is fresh off the triumphant return of Femmes Fatales‘ to Ottawa and he talks (of course) about that show, including the outstanding crowd reaction all night long.

We also talk about Reigns cutting a promo on the most recent Raw, Fastlane predictions as well as our predictions about the Wrestlmania Card. I don’t mind telling you that I’ve come up with what I think might be a super interesting angle for hometown heroes Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens because I’m a huge mark. We also talk about the Golden Lovers reunion and their upcoming match with The Young Bucks.

We finish of the discussion with RVD’s return to Montreal for IWS UnFNSanctioned! And that takes place tomorrow night!

How I Would Fix WrestleMania – The Perspicacious Geek

by on April 5, 2016 at 9:01 pm
Posted In: Blogs, Homepage, Keith, Perspicacious Geek

maniaWhen you’ve only got an hour to write a blog and you’re drawing a blank you turn to what you know and what you’ve been thinking about for the past 48 hours. In my case, that’s wrestling. More specifically, WrestleMania.

As someone who frequents /r/squaredcircle on Reddit and reads my fair share of dirtsheets and episode recaps I think I can consider myself a pretty big “fan” of wrestling and by extension, the WWE. One only need to look at how often we have wrestlers over on Go Plug Yourself to know that.

That being said, the overall reaction in the “smark” (smart-mark, someone who’s into the product but knows far too much about the inner workings) crowd to the 32nd annual WrestleMania was pretty mixed to negative.

I mulled it over for a long time, and I think that WrestleMania in terms of being a collection of wrestling matches was pretty good. On an individual basis, there were no particularly dull matches to be had. But I was still wondering why I felt so unfulfilled.

I decided that it was because stories didn’t come together and nothing even really moved forward. It’s kind of weird because wrestling runs every week, 365 days a year. Every Monday has Raw, every Wednesday has a Smackdown and there are 12 pay per views a year. But if WWE has a “season finale” it’s WrestleMania.

That’s the part where I think it missed out this year. Maybe it’s the writer in me, but I kept thinking about how, without completely overhauling the outcomes, it could’ve been better. So, this is extremely self-indulgent, but here are my minor revisions that would have left me much more excited for what happened.

In the interest of keeping this short (something WWE gives zero fucks about) I’m not counting the pre-show. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

9to5 Entertainment System 82: How Do You Triforce?

Sophie has no voice! The boys hold it down and get all manly by talking about pro-wrestling and Mike Tyson. Every time I pay attention to our episode number it seems like it is getting closer and closer to a hundred. What a thing. Oh, and don’t forget to vote for us (and your other favorite Montreal things) at Cult Montreal’s “Best of Montreal”9es 82 (1)

Oh yeah, there’s a point where we talk about the NHL Entry Draft and both Scott and I are right and wrong about how it works. The last place team has a 20% chance of picking first (down from 25%) but, since there is now a draft for 2nd and 3rd pick, they can drop as low as 4th pick overall. Source.

Wrestlemania 29 Match Reviews That Would Fit in a Tweet

by on April 8, 2013 at 11:45 am
Posted In: Fuck Mondays, Keith, Sports

I know, I know, I’m supposed to be reviewing Tomb of Horrors right now but a few things have come up. One, I need to get some paperwork in order for my new job and two, we didn’t actually complete the tomb. Part 1 of the Tomb of Horrors article should be ready next Monday. So, here are my quick impressions for all the matches of Wrestlemania 29.

The Miz defeated Wade Barrett (c) via submission for the Intercontinental Title
Miz locked a well executed figure-four to make Barrett tap. A move that an old man gave to him by magic. I remember that this match was ok.

The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns) defeated Sheamus, Randy Orton, and Big Show
Shield looked great. Glad they beat the Justice League clean and Big Show’s “turn” on Orton and Sheamus wasn’t actually during the match.

Mark Henry defeated Ryback
Boring big man match. At least we all got to go “ooooh” when Ryback marched around with Henry on his shoulders at the end. Also: Bear Hug!

Team Hell No (Kane and Daniel Bryan) (c) defeated Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston (with AJ Lee) for the Tag Team Championships
Enjoyed the match, Zigg, Kane and Bryan looked good, not much out of Big E. Sort of sad that Bryan and Kane can’t get singles stories yet.

Fandango defeated Chris Jericho
Sleeper match of the show, Fandango looked nervous but still delivered and Jericho sold new talent well. Maybe shouldn’t have been at ‘mania.

Alberto Del Rio (with Ricardo Rodriguez) (c) defeated Jack Swagger (with Zeb Colter) via Submission for the World Heavyweight Championship
Del Rio carried the match in my opinion, not a fan of Swagger’s in ring inability to put over his opponent. Sad that Ziggler didn’t cash in.

The Undertaker defeated CM Punk (with Paul Heyman)
An entire era separates Punk and Taker and they deliver the match of the night. Streak intact means maybe one more ‘Mania for the Dead Man.

Triple H (with Shawn Michaels) defeated Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman)
HBK added nothing to this match, a little slow and it almost looked like Brock was carrying HHH and not vice-versa.

John Cena defeated The Rock (c) for the WWE Championship
Better than last year but still a boring spot-fest with either possible result somehow seeming lame and predictable. Fans were really quiet.

Final Impressions:
So, how was it on the whole? I think it was honestly one of the better Wrestlemania PPVs I’ve seen in the past few years. The fact that they were running rushed meant cutting the almost always terrible comedic interludes which gave it a real fast-paced UFC style feel (even if it was completely unintentional) and there weren’t any real “dud” matches (even Rock/Cena would’ve gone over pretty well if this was a few years ago and the fans bought into spot-fests the way they used to).

I am terrified that John Cena will end the Streak next year at XXX.
