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 on AE…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Last Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite saw Private Party recreate the massive upset they scored on the second week of the show in 2019 by defeating the Young Bucks. This time they dethroned the champions and won the AEW Tag Team championships for …

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…

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…

In October 2019, AEW Dynamite began airing on TNT. WWE NXT secured a time slot on cable television for the first time and had a two-week head start on the upstart promotion, airing head-to-head on the same night. From that point on until April 7, 20…

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 three …

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…
