Not a lot of promos this week due to the combined Dynamite/Collision that was really match-heavy and the Full Gear PPV. AEW PPVs don’t typically have a lot of promos. I thought two promos this […]
WWE appears to be aware of the increasing criticism regarding Smackdown’s inconsistencies. This episode was, from beginning to end, a top-notch show that advanced lingering, simmering storylines and pushed others forward with fierce intensity. Both […]
To say I wasn’t a fan of Full Gear would be an understatement. I think this may have been my least favorite PPV that AEW has ever put on. There were some good wrestling matches […]
It’s always great when I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to see live professional wrestling, but when the big WWE trucks roll into your area, it’s a huge event seeing today’s top stars […]
HOUSEKEEPING • Mercedes Moné captured her 13th championship defeating Nor “Phoenix” Diana for the APAC Wrestling Women’s title at the House Of Glory show over the weekend. • Rebel announced that she’s been diagnosed with […]
HITS HANGMAN PAGE VS. KATSUYORI SHIBATA This was an entertaining, albeit predictable match, but “Hangman” Page continues to do a great job as champion and a great job making this pivoted storyline as good as […]
This week marked John Cena’s final appearance on Raw as well as his final appearance in Madison Square Garden. Fresh off winning the Intercontinental Championship last week, Cena came out to open the show this […]

“What do you call an ex-champ? A chump!” – Bobby Heenan Every new championship reign has its casualties, first and foremost being the dethroned former champion. Giving up a title is typically seen as a […]
Another week of just good not great promos from AEW. Both Blood & Guts matches took up a lot of the show on Dynamite, so there weren’t many promos throughout the show. The best promos […]
When WWE releases wrestlers, I often use my full-page column in the PWTorch Newsletter to write about those folks, what may have led to their releases, and where they might end up post-WWE. About a […]
Opening Segment – MISS: This wasn’t a terrible start to Raw, but I was hoping to see more variety in John Cena’s final matches, so I’m not excited to see a rematch against Dominik Mysterio […]
To help you add context, my “Hits” are ordered from best to worst. Each review includes a historical tidbit and a final grade. With that said, let’s move into the high points of this week’s […]

Welcome everyone! After a week off, we are back! What a wild a crazy show on Wednesday with AEW Dynamite “Blood & Guts.” So let’s look back at who I feel is rising and falling […]
It’s difficult, in these days of professional wrestling’s boom period, to accept the back-and-forth nature of Smackdown’s quality. Both week-to-week and within each episode, we see the twin poles of beauty and horror, excellence and […]
When I sit to write an article each week, it’s usually influenced by something that has recently happened on a show or is a headline, and look at the past as a nostalgia writer. Today […]
With this week’s Raw being billed as John Cena’s final appearance in Boston, it was no surprise that he opened the show. Introduced by Triple H, Cena came out to a thunderous ovation. However, in […]
Blood and Guts, baby! Moving past the decision to have two B&G matches on one episode, special shows like this is where AEW typically shines. I expect two wild matches that will move major storylines […]
“Champions are made, not born.” – Vince Lombardi The narrative of WWE centers around champions, those competitors who distinguish themselves by winning prestigious titles. What does the word champion really mean? The word stems from […]
Tatum Paxley opening promo: Hit Personal bias aside for Tatum, there’s something that endears her to the audience. Maybe because most of them have shard in her long journey through NXT, but she has an […]
