The culmination of Kenny Omega’s story. The end of Kazuchika Okada’s run. One of the best tag team matches ever. A street fight between Chris Jericho and Tetsuya Naito. It’s safe to say NJPW Dominion 6.9 in Osaka-Jo Hall was one of the best wrestling shows ever.
Read More
King of Gate ended with a whimper. After delivering such a magnificent KOG Finals, the Dream Gate match on this night failed to deliver expectations and felt like a very uncharacteristic performance from both men.
Read More
After this week, it was clear that Eddie Edwards and Sami Callihan still have a score to settle. Be that at Slammiversary or further down the road, I don’t know. What I do know though, is that Eddie Edwards is unhinged, vengeful and angry, and that’s the sort of man I want as my world champion.
Read More
The final stop of ROH’s Honor United Tour was a fine show. The rest of the undercard was solid, but again, this event just lacked that one great bout that would’ve helped it stand out more.

Dramatic Dream Team is once again at Shinkiba 1st Ring for the seventh installment of their TV show, ‘Maji Manji’.
Read More
Night 2 of the Honor United Tour was a slight step up from Night 1. The main event (despite the ending) and the two singles matches involving The Briscoes are worth checking out, and are a big reason why I would put this show above the first stop of the tour in Edinburgh.
Read More
At six matches in under three hours, Wrestle Queendom is a breeze to watch. The back half of the card is especially strong. More-so than even the match quality, there’s a really great atmosphere throughout the show. There’s several hiccups in the show but overall this was a great first step and very successful showing.
Read More
The first hour of Only the Strong Survive grated on me terribly. But once you get to Moose/Cobb, it’s pretty easy sailing to the end, with a fun main event.
Read More
The main event is a must watch, Match of the Year contender with some crazy bumps and a great story to cap off a really good Best of the Super Juniors tournament. Be sure to watch the finals, and the Chaos/Suzuki-gun match if you have time.
Read More
This show had two great matches on it. Any show with two great matches is in some form or fashion a good show. Thumbs up for the Dragon Gate’s King of Gate semi-finals.

I came into this week’s Impact with as much anticipation as I have in a long time and they were found wanting. I’m still firmly all in on the new Callis administration, but they’ve got work to do. Thumbs firmly in the middle on Impact Wrestling’s Under Pressure.
Read More
Top to bottom, Best of the Super Juniors Night 13 was a fantastic show, as you’d expect with eight singles matches. Dragon Lee v Desperado is must-watch, Ospreay v Flip was #actuallygood, and there wasn’t a bad match on the card.

The penultimate night for the Best of the Super Juniors B Block sees stars emerge while favorites begin pushing through the muck. Also, two standout matches that you should go out of your way to see.

They can’t all be winners. Some fun stuff on NJPW Best of the Super Juniors 25 Night 7 but an ultimately disappointing show from top to bottom.
Read More
If you’re behind, the main event from NJPW Best of the Super Juniors 25 Night 6 is probably the only match you’ll want to watch, and even then it’s nothing you haven’t seen before from those two.

Matt Sydal and his third eye have helped make the X-Division feel like a division again, and that’s something every wrestling fan should be grateful for. Namaste.

EVOLVE 105 was a much better show than EVOLVE 104. The show was headlined by a fantastic main event that might’ve been the best match we’ve seen in EVOLVE this year.
Read More
From an in-ring standpoint, EVOLVE 104 was a very much a mixed bag. There really wasn’t anything bad on the show, but until the final two matches, it was incredibly average.
Read More
YOH and Ospreay make magic together.
Read MorePROGRESS Wrestling SSS16 Night 1 was a good show with a couple of low points. Mambo vs Sabre should be sought out by everyone, it will end up being one of the highlights of the whole weekend.

NJPW Best of the Super Juniors 25 Night 4 wasn’t as strong as the opening night of the tournament, but two of the four matches were four stars or above

Night 3 of NJPW’s Best of the Super Juniors 25 was a worthy single-cam, non-commentary show with a great main event between Will Ospreay and ACH.
Read More
Z and E’s victory might seem small in the grand scheme of things and it might amount to little more than footnote in Impact history. I don’t really care. However this story pans out, I know that it brought a smile to my face and brightened up my week. In my book that’s all wrestling should be about.

If you’re short on time watch the opener, SHO vs. Dragon Lee, and Taguchi vs Desperado from NJPW Best of the Super Juniros 25 Night 2. If you have time, watch the whole show, because it was great.

Read More
Night 3 of the ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds 2018 was a relatively good event which featured one great match and a number of really solid matches.
Read More
LIONS GATE PROJECT 12 is a short, easy watch that was a great showcase for the Young Lions and gave the older boys something more meaningful to do rather than go through the motions on a Road To show.
Read More
Even with the changes to the main event, this was a still a relatively good show as a whole. It’s not the best Global Wars/War Of The Worlds event we’ve seen in Toronto, but it was certainly a step up from Night 1 in Lowell.
Read More
With the current Knockouts roster they have at their disposal, Impact Wrestling can do something really special.
Read More
ROH/NJPW War of the Worlds 2018 Night 1 had a great main event, a title match and an undercard that, for the most part, was pretty tame.

Dead or Alive was a blast. The last three matches are essential viewing for people that like the DG style, and I would toss the opener into that pile as well. All in all, thumbs up for Dragon Gate’s Dead or Alive 2018.

Dual-branded PPVs are officially back with WWE Backlash 2018 featuring Samoa Joe vs. Roman Reigns, AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura and more!
Read More
The top 3 matches from NJPW Wrestling Dontaku 2018 were all quite good. The main event was the only truly great match but Cody/Ibushi had elements that I’m sure will contribute to the larger story later on, so I would check that out too if you have time.
Read More
NJPW Wrestling Hinokuni 2018 wasn’t a bad show, but it wasn’t that memorable either, aside from the result of the main event.
Read More
A poor crowd didn’t help matters but the Chapter 67 show died a death after an incredible WALTER vs. Sabre Jr match, which should have been the main event.
Read More
There really wasn’t much to NJPW Road to Wrestling Dontaku 2018: Night 12 until the final two matches. Goto/Juice absolutely delivered and the main event was a very good contest that served as a nice preview for the two big title matches on May 4th in Fukuoka.
