The amount of professional wrestling available at the click of a button these days is staggering. Dozens of independent and foreign (to me) companies have streaming services or streaming partnerships and that number just seems to be growing by the day. When I decided to start writing about wrestling, I figured my main focus would Read more…

NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Eleven
Well, here we are with another A Block show on G1 Climax 28 Day Eleven. Unfortunately it’s one of the weakest looking cards of the entire tour but with a block that features Bad Luck Fale, YOSHI-HASHI, and Mike Elgin that’s bound to happen. Elgin is a great wrestler but a terrible human being, by Read more…
MLW Battle Riot
Major League Wrestling is undergoing a resurgence and it has been building to their biggest show to date in New York City. The event took place on July 19, aired July 27 on beIN Sports, and came to their official YouTube channel the following day. The Battle Riot match is MLW’s version of the Royal Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Ten
B Block stands for Best Block so I’m awake as of 3:45am and ready to watch this sucker live! Yes, I could easily just watch this show once it goes up in full on NJPW World but there are too many potential classics happening in the tournament tonight for me to sleep through it. Onward Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Nine
A Block is back on G1 Climax 28 Day Nine with a few matches that could at least be pretty good if not great, plus the peculiar match-up of Okada and YOSHI-HASHI. Can weird-mode Okada focus enough to beat YOSHI or will the Rainmaker’s balloon be popped like the hopes and dreams of anyone wishing Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Eight
It’s back! It’s finally back! I know it’s only been three days since the last G1 show but, really… has it really only been three days? It feels like forever since I’ve last climaxed and I’m happy to be back to normal for another few days. Day Eight is a B Block show with some damn intriguing Read more…
The List: Favorite Gimmick Matches
When a feud becomes too heated to be finished with your standard, garden variety wrestling match the only logical step is to up the ante to a more physical, more brutal, and oftentimes more horrific degree. There are countless variations on gimmick matches and new ones being dreamed up by weirdos all over the planet. Read more…
NJPW G1 Cilmax 28: Day Seven
It’s 2:30am and here I am! G1 Climax 28 Day Seven is an A Block show and while I’m much more a fan of the B Block match-ups there are a few here that I am quite looking forward to. With my newfound admiration for Hangman Page I’m excited to see him and Tanahashi lock Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Six
B Block is back baaayyyy beeeee! I decided to forego the 4:15am alarm clock so I could instead sleep in and catch this in the morning after our puppy inevitably wakes us up way too early for a Saturday. I’ve mentioned how much of a fan I’ve become of SANADA lately so I’m looking forward Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Five
It’s gonna be a packed weekend full of early-morning alarm clocks and afternoon naps as we gear up for another series of G1 shows Saturday and Sunday, but first it’s time to catch up with Day Five action from the A Block! This is, for me, the less exciting block but I’m sure a number Read more…
