Hits & Misses

Acknowledging Ceremony – MISS: While Tribal Combat between Roman Reigns and Jacob Fatu was a good PLE main event at Clash in Italy, I was only interested in it from the standpoint of the World […]

To help you add context, my “Hits” are ordered from best to worst. With that said, let’s move into the high points of this week’s episode, starting with the most significant moments. HITS HAZUKI MADE […]

WREN SINCLAIR vs. KELANI JORDAN – HIT This harder heel edge suits Kelani Jordan really well. Loved the jump-start to the match; it’s rare when the wrestler entering the ring does that, so it stood […]

HITS OMEGA-OSPREAY HEART TO HEART This drama was a solid way to start the show. Kenny Omega asked the question most fans would be asking: “Why the Death Riders?”. And it was a fair question. […]

Opening Segment – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with the segment involving Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, and Oba Femi. The pre-taped sit-down interview with Lesnar was very strong. His explanation was perfect. […]

HITS The System Stake their Claim on TNA While I think that some members of the team should have more wins for credibility’s sake, The opening Segment with The System was effective tonight in staking […]

To help you add context, my “Hits” are ordered from best to worst and are strictly my opinion. This week’s Collision portion of the Fyter Fest special felt far more focused than some of AEW’s […]

HITS MARK BRISCOE VS. TOMASSO CIAMPA If you like hardcore matches, this one had it all, including Ciampa using a cheesegrater to bloody the forehead of Briscoe in a spot that was very well executed. […]

TONY D’ANGELO & MYLES BORNE vs. MASON ROOK & KAM HENDRIX – MISS Mixed feelings on this one. I always enjoy a match first up on a show, and NXT does that pretty much as […]

Opening Segment – MISS: If the goal of this segment was to turn Roman Reigns and The Usos heel while turning Jacob Fatu back babyface, then maybe this would be a Hit. Given some of […]

HITS WILL OSPREAY & THE DEATH RIDERS This continues to be my favorite part of the show each week. I think they are hitting this storyline out of the park. I’m glued to the training […]

TATUM PAXLEY & LIZZIE RAIN vs. NIKKITA LYONS & ZARIA – HIT The wrestling was good here, with everyone looking solid. A good week 3 for Lizzie Rain. It’s a good idea to focus on […]

The month of April was built around the Universal Championship tournament, CMLL’s way of crowning the ceremonial champion of champions. The fact that there are enough champions to fill out this kind of tourney says […]

The Vision vs. Street Profits & Hendry – HIT: This is a minor Hit. The opening segment was ok. Roman Reigns came off as a bit of a jerk. The mic work from The Vision […]

INTRO We’ve got a quick turnaround for the TNA Impact Feud Tracker this week. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the PWTorch team, and many thanks to anyone who joins me on this journey! […]

HITS Indi Hartwell Calling Out Ash by Elegance and Elayna Black’s Materialism: I loved Indi Hartwell coming out and acting like a true babyface in a wrestling world that has seemed to have lost its […]

JAIDA PARKER vs. KALI ARMSTRONG – HIT: Man, this crowd love Jaida. You can see why: she has a ton of charisma and works the crowd well. Armstrong, coming in as heel, didn’t really show […]

HITS TED TURNER TRIBUTE It’s something I bring up often in this column, but I always appreciate the respect AEW has for pro wrestling, the history of pro wrestling, and the people that have made […]

Opening Segment – MISS: Part of me liked the way Raw started off hot with Roman Reigns arriving to try to start the show calling out Jacob Fatu, only to find out that Fatu hadn’t […]
