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 on AE…
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…

Andrew Zarian, my co-host on We're Live, Pal, and I had a conversation about the Costco Guys; Big Boom AJ, Big Justice, and The Rizzler. They were featured on the Zero Hour at AEW Full Gear. Now that it's all said and done, how did they do and how…
In a week where I didn't watch quite as much wrestling as usual, it was the rare occasion where a WWE TV match won match of the week. It was an excellent episode of Monday Night RAW with 2 matches getting 4* or more from me on an episode that was ta…

It was a great week of wrestling, at least for what I watched. There were at least three matches that would've taken the top spot on most weeks and they came from outside the big two companies, proving that there's great wrestling all over the world…

Power Struggle was a brisk show and full of noteworthy moments on the way to Wrestle Kingdom 19. Here are some notes from the show: - After EVIL and Ren Narita defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi and Oleg Boltin, EVIL threatened to cut Tanahashi’s hair. Aft…
WWE Crown Jewel seemed like one Premium Live Event too many, but when you get paid as much as WWE does for the show, you force it in. It was a good show according to most, but it also felt fairly unnecessary. Paul Fontaine Grade: B Very good sho…
