Like any competition, wrestling is ultimately a zero-sum game. There are only so many spots on the roster, and far fewer at the main event level. For there to be winners, there must be losers. […]
Another fun week of AEW wrestling has concluded and here are some tidbits before we get to this week’s Rising and Fading Stars. •Will Osprey and “Hangman” Adam Page started the latest episode against Konosuke […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This column was written before this week’s Dynamite. There will be a new version of this column based on last night’s Dynamite soon! Welcome everyone! What a little interaction we had at the […]
WrestleMania season came to its unofficial end with WWE Backlash, formerly known as WrestleMania Backlash. Before identifying this weeks’s Rising & Fading Stars, it seems fitting to describe my criteria. A WWE Rising Star is […]
This column’s picks are based on the latest episodes of Collision and Dynamite last week. What a fun start to Dynamite we had this week with a giant eight-man tag. If you are/were a PWG […]
With WrestleMania well in the rear-view mirror, WWE’s narrative is settling into some promising new directions. Who is poised to level up, and who is stagnating? Let’s begin. Rising Star of the Week: Sami Zayn […]
The exhilaration of WrestleMania week has come and gone, and a new season of WWE programming has begun, complete with novel parings and storylines. Who is poised to take a greater role, and who is […]
WrestleMania 41 is in the bag, earning mostly positive reviews. Some performers stepped up their game and made the most of their WrestleMania moment, while others stumbled in the spotlight. These stood out the most. […]
The biggest week and professional wrestling has arrived! That means audiences are at their zenith, storylines months in the making are reaching climax, and the pressure to perform is higher than ever. Which wrestlers are poised to […]
With WrestleMania fast approaching, WWE kicks into high gear. Talent are upping their game in an attempt to impress fans and management. Who’s killing it, and who’s falling flat in WWE including Raw, Smackdown, and […]
Pro Wrestling Torch columnist Sean Radican interviewed ROH veteran Shane Taylor in a VIP exclusive podcast. Taylor discussed a wide-variety of topics including the formation of Shane Taylor Promotions, his reaction to hearing ROH was […]
Did your favorite color win, everyone? Were you team Walmart or team K-Mart? I mean does it even matter? Doesn’t it always boil down to which store has the products you’re looking for and sometimes […]
Despite the clustermess (thank you Wade on Twitter for that) that was the main event, I really thought TLC had some great moments and just a couple of ones that make you feel your age […]
After Hell in a Cell almost two weeks ago, let’s follow up with how Smackdown followed up before we’re graced with unnecessary risk-taking at TLC on Sunday. RISING STAR OF SMACKDOWN: Jinder Mahal Jinder remained […]
Hell In A Cell was overall, not good PPV. Too much of the same rhythm we get with prolonging feuds and under-utilization of potential wrestlers that would bring a whole cavalcade of new life into […]
Battleground wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t all that memorable, either. The Punjabi Prison match reminded us why we’ve only seen two before (seriously, if I was still in Philly, trying to watch this through two […]
RISING STAR OF GREAT BALLS OF FIRE: Braun Strowman I’m a real big Braun fan now – I mean, how couldn’t you be? Maybe it’s totally counterproductive, but that bearded seven foot beauty sure came […]
RISING STAR OF OF THE WEEK: Samoa Joe See? Now this is how things are supposed to work around here: Joe gets Rising Star of Extreme Rules last week and now he casually chokes his […]
So Extreme Rules was not “extreme” at all. With the exception of the main event outcome, it felt like any recent Raw you could be capable of stumbling upon. A valid indication that (1) these […]
RISING STAR OF THE WEEK: Finn Balor Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose – all three of these guys have been given prime spots in the babyface main event picture and each one of the […]
I’d say my immediate reaction is that WWE Backlash was an extremely solid show from just a wrestling standpoint, but it severely lacked any sort of engaging storytelling. So don’t look at tonight’s RSFS as […]
So leave it to me to miss last week’s “Rising Star, Fading Star” in favor to recap WWE’s annual un-notoriously noteworthy trip over the pond. Never understood the reasoning behind making these events so “par […]
RISING STAR OF THE WEEK: Jinder Mahal Say what you will about the shoddy booking, because yes, it indeed was shoddy, lazy, and all types of negative adjectives, but Jinder Mahal is still the number […]
RISING STAR OF THE WEEK: Braun Strowman This may be the first time since writing that a wrestler gets a “Rising Star” because he completely obliterated the previous week’s “Rising Star” winner. This whole segment […]
