WWE Draft opening segment – MISS The entire concept of the draft is convoluted as hell. When every wrestler ends up on every show, what is the freaking point other than to pop a rating? […]
IMPACT WRESTLING HITS AND MISSES APRIL 27, 2023 TORONTO, ONT. AT THE REBEL ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX AIRED ON AXS TV (RECORDED) REPORT BY JOHN LASLO, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR (1) JORDYNNE GRACE vs. MASHA SLAMOVICH – HIT This […]
Rhodes – Balor – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with Cody Rhodes coming out to address his upcoming match against Brock Lesnar at Backlash. I was not expecting Finn Balor to interrupt […]
TONY D’ANGELO & STACKS vs. PRETTY DEADLY – TRUNK MATCH Well, I mean. I guess I give them credit for trying out a new match type. We’ve never seen anyone try to stuff their opponents […]
(1) TIME MACHINE (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin & Kushida) vs. “SPEEDBALL” MIKE BAILEY & JONATHAN GRESHAM & TREY MIGUEL – HIT Time Machine was, frankly, a well oiled machine. Even though Alex Shelley and […]
LWO vs. The Judgement Day – HIT The match overall is fine. I will never remember it or go back and watch it. The crowd is still super into the LWO stuff, so objectively, the […]
The Creed Brothers vs. Gallus vs. The Dyad – HIT Perhaps inspired by the North American Open Challenge openings of late, they went with a messy brawl to open and the crowd ate it up. […]
HEATH & RHYNO vs. CHAMPAGNE SINGH & SHERA-MINOR HIT A decent match with a group of solid wrestlers, a nice warm up for the rest of the night. There were some chants of ECW for […]
The K.O. Show – MISS The words delivered by Kevin and Sami were acceptable, but I wasn’t a fan of this opening segment. I don’t understand why Kevin and Sami would volunteer a rematch to […]
Mysterios – MISS: After 20 years, I should be used to the fact that WWE won’t ever let Rey Mysterio talk for more than a minute before being interrupted. Dominik was not good in his […]
Brawling Brutes vs. Imperium – HIT Gunther has gained creditability for me. So when a match graphic appears, and Gunther is on it, the match, at worst, will be good. The match started slow but […]
MULTIVERSE UNITED- ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE IMPACT X NJPW MARCH 30, 2023 LOS ANGELES, CA AT GLOBE THEATREAIRED LIVE ON FITETV BY JOHN LASLO, PW TORCH CONTRIBUTOR (1) TREY MIGUEL (c) vs. RICH SWANN vs. […]
TONY D’ANGELO & STACKS vs. PRETTY DEADLY At Stand & Deliver, these four men took place in a backstage segment when D’Angelo took offense to something that Kit Wilson said. It turned into a bit […]
WWE WRESTLEMANIA 2023 NIGHT TWO IN-PERSON PERSPECTIVE APRIL 2, 2023 ENGLEWOOD, CA AT SOFI STADIUM AIRED ON PEACOCK, 8:00 p.m. EST, 7:00 a.m. CST BY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH.COM CONTRIBUTOR As I mentioned in my […]
WWE WRESTLEMANIA 39 NIGHT ONE HITS AND MISSES APRIL 1, 2023 ENGLEWOOD, CA AT SOFI STADIUM AIRED ON PEACOCK, 8:00 p.m. EST, 7:00 a.m. CST BY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH.COM CONTRIBUTOR Announcers: Michael Cole and […]
CHASE U vs. SCHISM Taking place on the pre-show rather than the show proper, Chase U fought Schism for the fate of Chase University. Whatever that meant. While the feud has been entertaining, they didn’t […]
Ludwig vs. Cody Rhodes – HIT The match was solid—an excellent way to start Smackdown. Cody gave Ludwig a ton during the match. It would never be a five-star classic more to provide Smackdown with […]
BATTLE ROYAL – WINNER TAKES 5TH SPOT IN NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Chaotic, hard to follow and clearly scripted. That’s how I’d briefly describe any battle royal and this one is no different. From the […]
EDDIE EDWARDS vs. BHUPINDER GUJJAR- MINOR HIT A decent match, and Bhupinder Gujjar showed that he has what it takes to be higher on the card. He only lost to Eddie Edwards BACKSTAGE SEGMENT-HIT Gia […]
Opening Segment – HIT: WWE was smart to start off Raw with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn after they finally hugged it out at the end of last week’s Smackdown. WWE has been spacing out […]
Cody Rhodes opening promo – HIT Excellent promo to start Smackdown. The opposite of the typical WWE promo train. Cody wanted to call a truce between Sami and Kevin Owens. I liked how Cody went […]
INDI HARTWELL vs. TIFFANY STRATTON Was tonight the night for Indi Hartwell? That was the question being asked on commentary many times throughout the course of the matchup. The winner of this match would go […]
Edge – Balor – HIT: I haven’t cared much about the ongoing saga of Edge against The Judgement Day. I think that he and Finn Balor can have a very good match at WrestleMania. As […]
IMPACT HITS AND MISSES MARCH 16, 2023 LAS VEGAS, NV AIRED ON AXS TV (RECORDED) BY JOHN LASLO, PW TORCH CONTRIBUTOR BTI: “OUTRAGEOUS” ZICKY DICE (w/Johnny Swinger) vs. CHAMPAGNE SINGH (w/Shera) – MISS Both competitors […]
