It Was So Obvious… Cox In A Rout
It’s finally official, but you didn’t have to wait two (shamefully) long weeks to know how Schulz v Cox would end. If you took an objective view of the candidates, you could have predicted the outcome from the time they both filed. If you are shocked by the result, you were likely blinded by your personal or political relationship with the players and unable to see your candidate’s weakness or their opponent’s strength.

AEW Revolution 2022 Preview and Predictions
AEW Revolution is the first pay-per-view of the year for All Elite Wrestling. From top-to-bottom, this is one of the better lineups that the company has put forward in the past year. AEW's pay-per-view cards are always solid, but the first months of 2022 have provided some of the strongest stories and builds in the promotion's history. It will be interesting to see the directions for these angles coming out of the event.
IMPACT Wrestling No Surrender 2022 Preview
No Surrender, an event presented by IMPACT Wrestling and available on the IMPACT Plus streaming service, takes place on Saturday, February 19.

While No Surrender is only a buffer as the company builds to the Rebellion pay-per-view in April, it looks like an above average card on paper.

NXT WarGames 2021 Preview and Predictions
Before the major companies go into holiday mode, NXT presents its final major show of the year with WarGames.

THE PREDICTOR PREDICTS: WWE FASTLANE 2021
<–break–!> By Don “The Predictor” Murphy (Twitter: @DonThePredictor) If you ask some wrestling “superfans,” they’ll tell you that there’s no such thing as “too much wrestling.” Now, I’ll admit that I watch as much as I can from all of the major promotions, but when it comes to a show like Fastlane, taking place this Sunday night, I’d argue that it might be overkill, especially since WrestleMania is only three weeks away and most of the big matches are already set.
THE PREDICTOR PREDICTS: NXT TAKEOVER - VENGEANCE DAY
By Don “The Predictor” Murphy (Twitter: @DonThePredictor) Before we run down the card for tonight’s Takeover event, I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of two great and very different legends of professional wrestling. The first is Butch Reed, who passed away on February 5th at the age of 66.
THE PREDICTOR PREDICTS: WWE ROYAL RUMBLE 2021
By Don “The Predictor” Murphy (Twitter: @DonThePredictor) If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that this is my favorite match of the year. Not only do you have the anticipation of seeing a new entrant every two minutes, but this match serves as the blueprint for WrestleMania, as we begin the build to the big event in April. I will say that this year, they haven’t really focused on the Royal Rumble matches themselves, which is unfortunate and had made them difficult to predict.
THE PREDICTOR PREDICTS: IMPACT WRESTLING HARD TO KILL
By Don “The Predictor” Murphy (Twitter: @DonThePredictor) Sorry for the delay in today’s preview for tonight’s “Hard to Kill” Event, presented by Impact Wrestling, due to some family issues that had to be tended to this past week. But, I did want to post a brief preview for those watching tonight’s event because, much like Impact’s other recent events, this one is shaping up to be really good.
THE PREDICTOR PREDICTS: WWE TABLES, LADDERS AND CHAIRS (TLC) 2020
By Don “The Predictor” Murphy (Twitter: @DonThePredictor) We’ve reached the final pay-per-view event of 2020, a more than interesting year that we’ll hopefully never experience its kind again. But before we toast the champagne glasses, WWE ends the year with its annual TLC show on Sunday night, available on pay-per-view and the WWE Network. While I have no doubt that the matches will be good, the show isn’t doing much for me in terms of storyline build.
Did Trump’s Failure To Embrace Marijuana Legalization Cost Him Votes? (Op-Ed)
“One thing is certain: sharing your ballot with cannabis will embarrass you. In the red states, in the blue states and in the battleground states, pot is more popular than the pols.” By Don Murphy, Marijuana Policy Project I should be fired. For the past four years, I have tried to convince my party and my president to embrace marijuana policy reform. It should have been easy. After all, it is consistent with our core beliefs of freedom, individual liberty, personal responsibility and federalism.
