I’m a hardcore wrestling fan, by which I mean I’m a hardcore fan of wrestling... but I also have nothing against hardcore wrestling! I’ve been watching since 2006, back when I was 12 years old. In that time I’ve fervently followed WWE, TNA, ROH, Lucha Underground and others. Today I’m most passionate about NXT, New Japan and especially AEW! You could call me a modern wrestling savant but I know my old school stuff as well... I’ll be your huckleberry all night long.
Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here with a unique recap today as the vaunted Road To series has made a return, atleast for this week! AEW just uploaded a video hyping up the next episode of AEW Dynamite, a return to the Sears Centre which is already a storied venue for them at this point. Let’s get into it! We open with a shot of Cody Rhodes doing a sit-down interview, his face still bandaged up. It’s noted that we haven’t really heard comments from him since AEW Full Gear. He’s asked off-screen by an interviewer about his loss to…
First show of the show, Regal is backstage, greeting Becky Lynch! Huge pop that swiftly turns into boos as they remember she’s an invader, kinda funny. Becky goes into the ring, saying it’s been a while since she’s been here. It’s been a while since she sat there in that corner, defeated as they all sang her song. It’s been a while since you saw her kick somebodies’ ass! Notes that regardless of Trips’ invitation she was on the way anyway. Calls Bayley a teenaged girl with an old lady haircut. Says she destroyed all the Bayley Buddies except the…
Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here and we are closing in on a pretty damn crazy weekend of wrestling. The long talked about NXT main roster invasion has finally happened over the past few weeks, and we’ve been led to a truly unique couple of shows. Rounding out the weekend, WWE Survivor Series 2019 is upon us, and it’s set to be a very unique show to say the very least. It’s a three way war, with Raw vs. SmackDown vs. NXT! Plus, three very interesting world title matches will be taking place as well. Regardless of what you think…
It’s Friday night, which means another episode of WWE SmackDown! I’m Jordan Huie of the Overtimer and I will be giving you the live play-by-play of the show where hopefully Fox doesn’t spontaneously die on my feed for no reason this week! Watch this space. We open seeing a ton of SmackDown folks backstage, blue shirts aplenty. Big E is limboing. The nipples are cut out from his shirt. King Corbin, Roode and Ziggler in tow, comes up to speak to them but he’s not being heard. Roman, Shorty G and Mustafa Ali come up as well. Roman says we…
Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here, it’s Friday night which means it’s almost time for another edition of WWE SmackDown! And we have… not a whole lot advertised for it, as of an hour before the show starts. That does not seem sound, and it’s certainly not something that makes my job easier! Of course I might just be spoiled by AEW giving me whole cards to work with every week… but I digress. Let’s just look into everything we can for now, shall we? More invasions likely, days out from Survivor Series. As usual these past few weeks, they’re…
Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here and we are closing in on a pretty damn crazy weekend of wrestling. The long talked about NXT main roster invasion has finally happened over the past few weeks, and we’ve been led to a surreal couple of shows. First we have NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019. It’s a big show, in spite of only having four matches due to the length expected from the double WarGames encounters. I’ll be doing a match by match preview for the whole card, so let’s get to it! WarGames Match: The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Bobby…

After seven straight weeks of being beaten, at times by something of a landslide, we’ve finally seen the first ratings victory for WWE NXT this week. Admittedly it does have a few caveats, but a win is a win on the record books. They had to fight for it for sure, but they’re on the board now. In total viewership, the number for this past saw 916,000 for NXT and 893,000 for AEW. This is quite the bump for NXT, who saw 750k last week, compared to AEW’s 957k. AEW as usual did win every demo except for the demo…
