I don’t know if I’m ready to watch another set of G1 matches after what Ishii/Omega and Ibushi/Naito delivered yesterday. This tournament has, not surprisingly, delivered a handful of match of the year candidates and it shows no signs of slowing. I mean, except for Fale/YOSHI today which I don’t expect to live up to Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Fourteen
Things are starting to get real, real interesting now and I don’t know if my heart can take it. It’s a race to the top with Omega, Naito, and Ibushi leading the block but anything is possible! Tonight we see yet another man swing for the fences as he tries to end Kenny Omega’s G1 Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Thirteen
Does the “A” in “A Block” stand for “Another”? I love a handful of wrestlers in the block but it definitely does not shine in comparison to its counterpart. I appreciate the fact that the intro video and the entrances are just long enough for me to finish a bowl of cereal. Always thinking of Read more…
NJPW G1 Climax 28: Day Twelve
Best Block is back with G1 Climax 28 day twelve! This night is loaded with what should be some insane match-ups in tournament action – SANADA/Juice should be fun and good if not great, Naito/YTR should be the same, and Omega/ZSJ or Ibushi/Goto are the clear front-runners for match of the night. Can anything top Read more…
Stop Paying for Bad Wrestling
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…
