A little bit about me:


I've been a fan of WWE for over 25 years. The Montreal Screwjob is probably the last major event to happen in WWE before I could start remembering the earliest content I watched live. What sticks out is Stone Cold getting hit by a car (for obvious reasons, I was 7 or 8, and thought it was real!).


Watching The Rock tell "Cops" to shove donuts up their ass backstage on Raw made me fall in love with it all, during the most elusive time in the company's existence known (as we all know) as the Attitude Era. I say elusive as its probably something no wrestling company can even contemplate to replicate. In saying that, other generations have earned their stripes also.


This is something I have always wanted to do, I've always wanted to write something I am passionate about, and here it is. My wife said I also need a new hobby...like any good husband ill take what she says into consideration, although I think she meant taking up a sport 😬


Hope you all enjoy if you consider joining, you wont see 15 to 20 posts a day talking about garbage or click bait that leads to 'next to nothing' data or reporting. this is a page for the fans that are passionate about what we see on television (or perhaps some of you live) and all that encapsulates WWE.

Why casual wrestling fans are stuck in 2016

Here's the thing about being a casual WWE fan in 2026


You have pages on social media that just continuously clickbait and rage bait, bait bait bait. Off the spot opinions that only generate traction with no substance or often even meaning.


So what happens currently? You open Twitter, get hit with unmarked spoilers, half-baked takes, and 47 reply guys arguing about who's getting buried this week. You close the app knowing less than when you opened it.


You also want to stay in the loop, but you don't have 5 hours a week to watch RAW and SmackDown back to back.


That's exactly why I started The Gorilla Position.


Every week I watch everything so you don't have to. You get:

  • A tight recap of every major match and angle

  • Honest takes on what's actually worth watching

  • Early reads on where storylines are headed


What I also want is a forum for the real fans of the sport to give insight into current storylines, the past and future, and related content, bouncing unbiased (and downright biased!!!) views.


No 40-minute YouTube videos. No clickbait. Just the good stuff, written for people who love wrestling but have actual lives.


If that sounds like your kind of thing, come check it out.


The industry has had a seismic shift in operations in recent years, it is not the same product. Lets disucss...
