How was the big show?
WrestleMania 31 has come and gone. Did the granddaddy of them all live up to the hype? Did the Undertaker get back in the win column?

The top 5 matches in Wrestlemania history
WrestleMania is like the Super Bowl of wrestling. It happens once a year, in a huge stadium, with people from all over the world in attendance.

Nerdy references galore
Simply put, Candice LeRae is the best female wrestler on the planet. It isn’t because she has tons of geek cred, which she does (enough that she is Geekade’s official favorite wrestler).
