Stephanie Vaquer vs. Wren Sinclair: Hit I’m biased towards Goth wrestlers who lean toward the Succubus route, so maybe I’m being biased, but I lover this match. Sinclair has come a long way, especially after […]
Smackdown was a blast, with a tight focus on tag team wrestling and Bloodline story beats that delivered on several fronts. We were gifted with appearances by the two top guys in all of professional […]
Is it a new era in AEW? Sure looks like it. Coming off of WrestleDream, there is a new AEW World Champion. There were major returns in MJF and Adam Cole. There is the impending […]
Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. Kairi Sane & Iyo Sky: Hit I’m usually not big on screwy finishes, but I can accept them when it protects the losers and not make the winners appear […]
It was hard to follow last week’s go-home show, but it seems Smackdown stayed home this week. A bit harsher than needed, and perhaps not entirely true, but a sleepy crowd prevailed and colored the […]
Opening Segment: Hit I love Wes Lee being positioned as the next challenger for Trick Williams’s NXT Title. Lee has positioned himself as a great heel and a program between these two should be awesome. […]
Here we are again with another go-home show to a PPV. While my preference would be to have fewer PPVs per year to properly build to big events, this is what we had before us […]
Sexxy Red Opening: Miss Meh. I know she’s from that area, so I get the appearance, but I wasn’t impressed with her on the NXT hosting job she did, I was even less impressed tonight. […]
The Crowd: Hit I love seeing the developmental brand being able to fill an arena like this. I’m not sure what the actual ticket sales were, but the full arena was a great sight to […]
Smackdown delivered a go-home show that buzzed with electricity generated by white-hot feuds and hard-hitting fights. One word came to mind as I watched: Pain! Does anybody want to be Angelo Dawkins this morning after […]
Happy Anniversary!! It’s been five years since AEW Dynamite debuted and my wrestling fandom got reinvigorated. I’m happy about that regardless of the ups and downs of the company since that night. Oh, and we […]
TNA IMPACT HITS AND MISSES SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 SAN ANTONIO, TEX. AT BOEING CENTER AT TECH POINT AIRED ON AXS TV BY JOHN LASLO, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR (1) JORDYNNE GRACE & SOL RUCA vs. ROSEMARY & […]
Joe Tessitore & Wade Barrett: Hit I love these guys working together. Joe brings an energy that I haven’t heard in a long time. Wade is a stereotypical heel color commentator (and terrific at it) […]
In Oklahoma City, chaos reigned. But, chaos isn’t always a bad thing. Last night’s Smackdown brimmed with an energy that felt like anything could happen at a moment’s notice. From Kevin Owens’ barely-contained anger at […]
In one of the company’s biggest Dynamite episodes of the year, I was very excited to tune in despite what I would call a sub par build. I expected some great matches, storylines and perhaps […]
Wren Sinclair vs. Kelani Jordan: Hit Nice match between these two. I’ve warmed up to Sinclair since she joined the No Quarter Catch Crew. She’s shown a good personality to go with her ability in […]
Start of Raw – MISS: I liked how Raw started up to a point with the fans and the arrivals of wrestlers from earlier in the day. When they lost me was when Dominik Mysterio […]
TNA IMPACT HITS AND MISSES SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 SAN ANTONIO, TEX. AT BOEING CENTER AT TECH POINT AIRED ON AXS TV OPINION BY JOHN LASLO, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR THE SYSTEM ADDRESSES THE AUDIENCE – MAJOR HIT […]
Another Smackdown, another opportunity to witness some of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling. With Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns now allied and set against the Bloodline, this episode delivered something quite […]
C.M. Punk Promo: Hit Sometimes I forget just how good Punk’s promos can be when he is Dark Punk. Great intensity from Punk and I like the “blood” reference. I’ve rolled my eyes at other […]
After a strong episode a week ago and a ratings increase, albeit small, I felt AEW needed to have a show that continued to build the storylines they set in motion. If they were able […]
C.M. Punk – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with the opening promo from CM Punk. He was serious and intense as was needed for this feud. I could have used less talk […]
TNA VICTORY ROAD PPV HITS & MISSES SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 SAN ANTONIO, TX AT BOEING CENTER AT TECH PORT AIRED LIVE ON TNA PLUS BY JOHN LASLO, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR (1) MATT & JEFF HARDY vs. […]
