It was a very good week of wrestling from March 10-17 with NXT's Battleground being one of the best TV shows of the year and the New Japan Cup reaching it's climax. It was a show from the unexpectedly great March 15th NJPW Cup show that takes the to…
It's been a while since I posted my match of the week rankings so it's a super sized edition covering the 21 day period ended March 9th in this column. And the match of that three week period, and of the very best of the year to date, was the AEW In…
A Reddit thread wondering about the box office gross for Queen of the Ring led me to do some research. After reading through the Box Office Report post and not finding the movie listed, I reached out to their Twitter account to ask about the …
If this was the end to the Toni Storm and Mariah May feud, they went out with a bang; a very bloody bang. Early on in the match, which didn't start in the ring, May gave Storm a Storm Zero piledriver on the ring steps which caused Storm to bleed hea…
In an insane back and forth match, Swerve Strickland beat Ricochet to come the number one contender to Jon Moxley's AEW World Title. Prince Nana left ringside after Swerve pushed him down in a fit of rage outside the ring after he tried to br…
AEW Revolution started with a bang. Hangman Page beat the 10-count after getting hit with a piledriver on top of a chair and came back to beat MFJ with a Dead-Eye, Angel's Wings (in honor of Christopher Daniels), and a Buckshot clothesline. …
After John Cena won the Elimination Chamber to become the number one contender to Cody Rhodes, Rhodes himself came out. And then The Rock's new Final Boss music played and he was led to the ring by Travis Scott. The Rock mentioned that he wanted Co…
John Cena did what he said he was going to do and won the Elimination Chamber and will now face off against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre were the first two men in the ring. Damian Priest soon joined them. And L…
As expected, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn had a very violent and at times, over the top match. Their aggression was great and the announcers did a good job getting the drama of the match over, which ended when Owens and Zayn threw back to their NXT mat…
In the only match at Elimination Chamber without any real WrestleMania repercussions, Trish Stratus and Tiffany Stratton beat Nia Jax and Candice LeRae. VINTAGE TRISH! 🇨🇦#WWEChamber pic.twitter.com/F8CeFhoCRm — WWE (@WWE) March 2, 20…
Bianca Belair won the women's Elimination Chamber match that had a heavy angle to kick-off the Elimination Chamber PLE. Before the women's match even started, Jade Cargill's music played. Liv Morgan and Naomi were the two women inside the ring to s…
For the second week in a row, Kyle Fletcher had the best match I saw in all of professional wrestling. This time out, he was in his home country of Australia for AEW's first show there and, as expected, he was part of a match of the year candidate. …
Up until the very last minute, I was sure I had seen the first ever match of the week from an indie promotion since I started doing this column. I watched the House of Glory Final Warning Show that took place on January 25th earlier this week and sa…
For the first time in five weeks this year, the match of the week came from WWE. All it took was the main event of what is traditionally the second biggest PLE of the year to do it. In what was a massive surprise to many (he was a 20-1 betting under…
Four weeks into 2024, New Japan Pro Wrestling is dominating my Match of the Week listings. Three of the first four weeks that promotion has taken that spot and the latest one was the main event of the January 23rd Road to The New Beginning show. I w…
On a show that took place December 29th, Michael Oku made his first appearance in the Progress wrestling promotion in five years and it was a memorable. Accomponied by Amira, he took on Mark Haskins (accomponied by his own wife Vickie) and the two h…
Two weeks in 2025 and Gabe Kidd of New Japan Pro Wrestling has had the best match of the week in both weeks. In the opener of Sunday's Battle in the Valley Show, the New Japan Strong Openweight champion defended his title in a 30 minute draw against…
After fourteen months out of action, Kenny Omega returned to the ring at Wrestle Dynasty and looked like he'd never left. His match with Gabe Kidd in the semi-main event of that show was the easy winner of the match of the week and will finish very …
Over the span of 2024, I watched over 3800 pro wrestling matches. Those matches stretched across AEW, WWE, New Japan, TNA, ROH and many others. Of all those matches, one stood above them all in my opinion and it was the near one hour classic …
A very busy week of professional wrestling closed the way most weeks this year did. Will Ospreay racking up another couple of instant classics. On this particular week, he turned in one of the greatest single days in the sport's history with two 5* …
Another week, another Will Ospreay match stands above all the rest. It was all more quality than quantity this week as I watched less actual matches than in most weeks but 3 of them hit that coveted 5* or above level and it took a 4* match to make t…
In mid-2024 word began to get out, almost out of nowhere, that Ricochet's contract with WWE was coming to an end. The company where he had worked for 7 years made him an offer but he was looking for a new challenge and was rumored to be headed to AE…
With no top 10 list last week due to technical difficulties, this week it will be the top 20 matches of the last two weeks. This would be from all the matches I've watched from November 24th through December 8th and would include some shows that air…
There are four nights of World Tag League action left from December 4th through 7th; one night of A Block action, two nights of B block action, and the finals. Three teams are left in contention in the A Block of the World Tag League with eight p…
