Allyssa’s awesome reviews of women’s wrestling.
Greetings and salutations good wrestling fans. I can’t believe this will be the last post before Evolution. It is mind-boggling how fast this year is going, and how quickly this “monumental” pay-per-view is approaching. I’m not sure WWE knows this either…hm. Let’s talk a bit about that, shall we? The Good Before I become too … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (October 15, 2018)
Greetings good wrestling fans. I hope some autumn leaves have blessed your front lawns by this point! Fall is by far my favorite season of the year, and as far as wrestling goes, it brings us closer to 2019 and the illusion of new beginnings for WWE. With Evolution looming, how are they rounding out … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (October 1, 2018)
Greetings wrestling fans, and welcome to the post-Hell in a Cell edition of Nylons and Midriffs. The last few weeks have been interesting to say the least, in both exciting and mildly worrisome ways. As per usual, I will divide the discussion between the two weekly WWE shows and the most recent pay-per-view. The Good … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (September 17, 2018)
Many greetings to you, wrestling fans near and far. I hope those of you in the U.S. had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend.

Hello good wrestling fans. I”m back after a significant move to a new city with some somewhat fresh thoughts about WWE’s women’s division. While I’m sure many of you are hoping for some predictions or speculation from me heading into SummerSlam, I have some general thoughts that have been swirling in my head since my … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (August 16, 2018)
Wow wow wow good wrestling fans. Have we got a lot to talk about this week! Unlike previous installments, my thoughts for each category this week are more general. I am currently in the midst of a move out of the city (Chicago) to Evanston, so admittedly I didn’t have the sharpest eye to wrestling … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (July 30, 2018)
Hello good wrestling fans. I come to you with devastating news this week. After attempting to watch Extreme Rules yesterday — as I am wont to do using my brother-in-law’s account — I was given an error message upon trying to stream the pay-per-view, telling me that I needed a subscription to continue. The heartbreak … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (July 16, 2018)
Hello good wrestling fans. I’m not going to beat around the bush with this post, because we have a lot to get through. I want us all to be caught up and acquainted with where things look to be going now that Money in the Bank is in the rearview. However, we’re still going to … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (July 2, 2018)
Hello, good wrestling fans! I’m back with another entry into the Nylons and Midriffs series. Not exactly the same time as I promised in my last post, but ’tis life sometimes. Due to circumstances out of my control, this post is one week later than I hoped it would be. Therefore, this week I’ll discuss … Read more Nylons and Midriffs: What’s Happening in Women’s Wrestling (June 14, 2018)

In this column, we’re going to magnify women’s wrestling on WWE’s two main brand shows, RAW and Smackdown Live.
