After a few years of being trapped in outdated PHP, outdated WordPress, database-miscommunication limbo, Doomkopf has returned! And boy, if the comments approval queue is any indication, you all really missed us! Let’s take a look at a few of the things you had to say in our absence. “This blog is like a virtual…
Sitting down to watch TERMINUS. Two minutes in, so far my favorite thing about the show is that Zicky Dice’s mic doesn’t work. The audio on TERMINUS is bad enough it would make early AEW embarrassed. The countdown clock on the Terminus pre-show is amazing. It counts down to 00:03:16 then flips to 00:18:12. Then…
It’s time for my almost-annual tradition of recapping the G1 Climax for one or two shows before losing interest and/or running out of time to keep up on New Japan Pro Wrestling’s annual round-robin tournament. But I love watching what I can of this thing, and so I will once again attempt to document the…
Several friends and Doomkopf alums (who are also friends) got together virtually this past weekend to make something out of the fact that we’re all stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 24-hour comics process and rules would be the same — we’re just doing it in April instead of October. For mine,…

I will refresh this blog throughout the night. Full disclosure — I stopped watching Raw probably around the time of Blood Money II, so I couldn’t tell you if this intro was new or not. But the stage and set definitely look new, and I read enough clickbait news sites to know that the pyro…
Because of work trips and other general busyness, I fell behind on virtually every comics series I was buying, which then impeded my ability to get back on a weekly schedule. These Non-Doomino Effect entries will be an attempt to chip away at the stack so I can get back to the normal routine. Today,…

I’m catching this show a day late and have so far avoided almost all commentary of any kind and all substantive spoilers. Here’s a repeatedly updated post as I make my way through it. The opening promo package was well-produced, but it’s discouraging to hear this screamy rage-rock soundtrack. It’s one of the elements that…
