    AEW: All Elite Wrestling!

    It feels so odd seeing AEW Dark again with how much has changed IRL. I continue to love the direction of this show as a B-show that not only handles the mid-card talent but introduces the newcomers and still manages to drive Dynamite stories forward. Cody opening the show is a smart move for...

    ROH Supercard of Honor - April 5, 2024

    I think Johnny and Taya have been doing some really good work on ROH, and Dalton is just such a hidden gem. Although I'd rather all three feel important on ROH than jobbed out across Rampage and Collision. That being said, Jerry Lynn randomly running in and making it a Fight Without Honor match...

    AEW: All Elite Wrestling!

    Nice to see this is still going! Let's get into the review... It's still weird to read this a as project initially based on the idea of Punk joining AEW, which was unthinkable at the time, then during the lifespan of your project, he's not only joined but left and done something even more...

    TNA Sacrifice 2024 - FRIDAY, March 8 - Live from Windsor, Ontario - Live on TNA+

    The booking of the tag belts has always felt based on whoever is the flavour of the month but this feud could have lasted far longer, because Spitfire have had about 3 matches as a team. I don't get the logic of MK Ultra losing to Decay, to win the belts back and them lose again two weeks later...

    Ring of Honor *SPOILERS* taped 2/3/24

    I'm glad we're getting some storytelling but I don't know why it always feels like The Iron Savages and Karter/Garrison are always part of multi-man tag matches and the repeated four-corner matches seem more like they're trying to get people on the card rather than tell a story. I think ROH...

    NXT [EPISODE #468] ‣ "WHAT'S NeXT" PREVIEW The WWE Universe was stunned last week when up-and-comer, Cal Bloom, attacked the NXT Double Champion, Bronson Reed - the same man who saved him from a beating the week prior. To add insult to injury, Bloom seemingly has aligned with "The New...

    NXT 2012 - Gateway to the Future

    I love this early NXT with the transition from FCW and the early charm it had. I wonder how hindsight will impact your booking decisions, like Stojy said, there's a lot of great talent on the roster but also curious to see if you'll build anyone who perhaps didn't much time back then. Good luck...

    Hope you're well! I'm using dark mode and where you've changed your text from automatic to black, it means that the colour won't automatically change to white on dark mode, which means it's really difficult to read. I can switch to light mode and read but I just thought I'd give you the heads up.

    TNA Xplosion General Discussion

    I'm a fan of this new look for Xplosion, the nameplate graphics look better than Impact. I hope they continue to showcase new and unsigned talent in addition to established roster members. Impact's roster is quite compact and they utilise their roster so well that it feels like Xplosion should...

    ROH Spoilers taped 11-17-23

    I don't think Ronda would be the Full Gear signing, it would make no sense to hype up an important signing only to spoil it by starting a storyline featuring the surprise outside of your main show. Also, Samoa Joe was just there, but how many episodes of ROH TV did he appear on (outside of PPV)...

    Bound for Glory 2023 - SATURDAY, October 21 - Live from Chicago - Only on PPV

    I would have loved Mike to have had a guest spot on the actual card, I think with the big rebranding announcement, it would be really nice to find some capacity for him again (if he'd want to), kind of like how JR was used on NXT to give a big-time feel to some of the main events. The overall...

    AEW: All Elite Wrestling!

    It's been a while since I've cast my eye over this while you've caught up to WC to bring in new shows. DARK - Showcasing Kelly Klein makes sense, but it's nice that Leva still had some moments to shine. However, the focus is the bigger picture - Klein vs. Priestley, which I think would be a...
