(Most of) AEW Dynamite (4-17-2024)

From Indianapolis! I have been there. I am not there right now.

I turned this on the TV tonight and decided I wanted to talk about it. I also tuned in about 24 minutes late so whatever happened in the first 24 minutes, I don’t know. Mercedes Mone ran off Julia Hart or something when I turned it on. Then Samoa Joe did a sit-down interview with Renee. It was good!

LET’S GO

Wheeler Yuta vs Daniel Garcia (IWTV, 8-8-2021)

IWTV 100, Williamstown, NJ

A request! From the H2O Wrestling Center in scenic Williamstown! I have no idea if it’s scenic or not. I said “scenic” like “haha how could it be, it’s in New Jersey,” but dog I’ve never been to New Jersey and I’m sure it has nice little towns and parks and stuff like every other goddamn place. This was just a momentary lapse in letting TV influence how I think. I apologize to the great state of New Jersey.

Wait, they’ve got a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park?

REVIEW: ROH Death Before Dishonor (7-21-2023)

From Trenton, New Jersey, at the CURE Insurance Arena, fka Sovereign Bank Arena and Sun National Bank Center! Insane to me that ROH hasn’t been to New Jersey since 2012 and only once since 2009.

I am ready to die before I take part in or even observe any dishonor.

REVIEW: AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door (6-25-2023)

HERE WE GO! From Toronto! This door is so mother fucking forbidden, bro! I’m fired up! AEW is hot right now! In a couple weeks if a show or three is a little lackluster I’ll say it’s cold! And then if they have a couple good ones I’ll say they’re back! That is how I do!

Daniel Garcia vs CM Punk (AEW, 10-8-2021)

AEW Rampage, Philadelphia, PA

With the seemingly inevitable return of CM Punk to AEW, in some form or fashion, I thought, “I’d maybe like to watch some CM Punk AEW matches.” I might only watch one. I might watch 10! Who knows?

(Requests open via Ko-fi)

REVIEW: PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2023 Night Two (1-8-2023)

Back for night two! (Here is night one.) And then it’s possible I will not watch another PWG show from this year. It is also possible there will not be another PWG show this year, this was three months ago.

(Buy from PWG!)

REVIEW: PWG Battle of Los Angeles 2023 Night One (1-7-2023)

I don’t know where I’m going
But I sure know where I’ve been
Hanging on the promises in songs of yesterday
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
Here I go again, here I go again

(Ko-fi)
(Buy the show from PWG)

REVIEW: ROH Supercard of Honor (3-31-2023)

There is not a single show this week I want to see more than this one, and that’s not a knock on either night of Mania, I’m fired up for those, but this card has so much I’m really itching to see. Most of all, Samoa Joe vs Mark Briscoe.

Alright. Let’s go!

REVIEW: AEW Dynamite (10-26-2022)

We’ll do it live.

PPV REVIEW: AEW Double or Nothing 2022 (5-29-2022)

I’m in a very cautious budgeting period of my normally reckless, freestyle way of life but I really wanted to watch this pay-per-view program live, so I went the crowdsourcing route via Ko-fi. It worked! And I actually did use the money to buy the show instead of sneaking away with it and stealing a pirate stream, which I do know how to do, despite everyone on the internet assuming you don’t know how if you suggest you’re willing to pay for something.

Also, I note nobody asked for any match reviews or anything, but I’d have a feeling of some type shame or the like if I didn’t do anything to even kinda feel like I’d earned this great payday, so I’m going to dust off the ol’ PPV-reviewing gloves and do a proper PPV review for the first time since probably, like, 2014.

This is a match review blog by design, but also it is a stupid fucking blog intermittently given attention by an aging idiot, so this will just exist. Who knows? Maybe more of this will happen. I do actually believe that there is value in how matches seem in the context of their entire show, but also in how matches seem in a vacuum. So in other words I have no opinion about reviewing wrestling other than most people should stop it. Not me, though.

Anyway, let’s go, motherfuckers.
