The Pirate Princess has returned home! In light of this weekend’s news that Kairi Hojo (Kairi Sane to you WWE people) has returned to World Wonder Ring Stardom, I thought it only fitting to take a look at the theme she used before setting off to sail the world back in 2017. Born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Kairi grew up as […]

This week in the stereo on the roadtrip we’ve got Hammer Man on. Why? Because Monday is Greg Valentine’s Day of course! After many years, this was released in 2015 on the WWE: The Federation Era album. Some may say I’m posting this one a little early given that Valentine’s Day isn’t until Monday. This is your reminder that it’s […]

This week (tomorrow as of writing) wrestling legend Jerry “The King” Lawler will be celebrating his 72nd birthday. A wrestler reaching 72 is unfortunately a little rare given the rigours of the trade, but Lawler is an exceptional case in that he’s still wrestling and is still in reasonably good shape. Lawler made his debut in 1970, which means this […]
It was Greg’s birthday this past week and we’ll celebrate on the Roadtrip Music series with one of his favourite themes. You may have expected something else when you clicked Jeff Jarrett theme. In 1997, the WWF licensed the National Wrestling Alliance trademarks and brought a presence into the company from the once-opposition group. The angle started when Jim Cornette […]
