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 …

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…

In another busy week of pro wrestling, including catching up on some shows from previous weeks, a match from the the New Japan Fighting Spirit Unleashed show on November 8th topped my personal list of matches watched over the last week. The show too…

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 FontaineGrade: BVery goo…

On Saturday night, TNA Wrestling held its traditionally biggest show of the year, Bound for Glory, and for the first time since I started doing this column, TNA Wrestling produced what I consider last week's match of the week. It was a successful ni…

Another WWE post-show press conference, another chance for Paul "Triple H" Levesque to put his foot in his mouth. Following WWE Bad Blood, WWE's COO was asked about the lack of Black wrestlers on premium live event (PLEs) cards. On the last t…

Another week is in the books and in the third week of doing this column, a company other than WWE and a wrestler other than Will Ospreay had the match of the week. Going in, I'd have probably predicted the AEW International champion had a good chanc…
