After such an eventful few days, this week feels like a collective exhale. NJPW’s Dominion aside, it’s a quieter collection of graps, but that can produce some of my personal favourite offerings. These are the weeks where you’re given the time to enjoy a Gates of Agony TV match, or perhaps head to All Japan …

It was a busy weekend for professional wrestling and though I’m still recovering from the rollercoaster ride, it’s time to overanalyse some graps. Clearly, it was all about the main eventers this week, from IMPACT Under Siege to AEW Double or Nothing, and so that’ll be our main focus. NXT Battleground inexplicably emerged as a …

It’s a special week and so, we’re doing something slightly different with the match guide. This is your pre-PPV edition, featuring the week’s matches as well as a few bouts that I couldn’t get to before our last entry. Then, early next week, I’ll be covering the Best of the Super Juniors final as well …

This week, Sareee and Trinity return to the ring, Best of the Super Juniors rolls on and ROH hosts a Fight Without Honor.

It’s a slightly quieter week for the wrestling world, but only slightly. WWE’s World Heavyweight Title tournament gets underway, AEW takes us back to January with a virtual PPV card on Dynamite and NJPW’s Best of the Super Junior gets rolling also. Better yet, Ring of Honor returns to Universal Studios after an extended run …

Not long ago, this site hosted ‘The Hoopers Weekly Tour of the World.’ That flame burned bright but sadly, went out slightly sooner than expected. Moving forward, I will be taking on the mantle in some form or fashion but first, I wanted to give The Hooper a chance to conclude his “Tour of the …

Believe it or not, wrestling isn’t complicated. Throughout history, there are simple formulas that have proven themselves time and time again. Maybe it’s a natural stylistic fit, perhaps two contrasting personalities or even a betrayal. If it works, it’s probably been seen somewhere before, creating obvious overlap between each era’s greatest hits. The execution may …

In his latest stop on the road to MJF, Bryan Danielson collects yet another classic, sharing a brutal battle with the mercurial Rush on Dynamite.
Combining for an electric trilogy, Darby Allin and Samoa Joe made magic together. With such differing careers though, why is this pairing so perfect?
There were few safer bets in wrestling than Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay stealing the show at Wrestle Kingdom. After all, that’s who both guys have so consistently been, especially in that setting. This was a match with almost impossibly high expectations and yet, they still felt certain to exceed them. At Wrestle Kingdom though, …
