PWG’s renowned annual tournament, the Battle Of Los Angeles, is coming up next month. As always, 24 indy standouts from all over the world are involved. Obviously that’s a lot of names, and I may or may not have extensive knowledge of each of them… so just as a quick primer, here’s a sentence on every last one of them! A-Kid Crazy young high flier out of Madrid with a name that makes google searches really annoying! Jonathan Gresham Second coming of the American Dragon… no joke! Artemis Spencer Canadian sensation out of DEFY. Darby Allin Suicidal risk-taker. Mick Moretti…

With another Wednesday comes another show for the black and gold brand. This happens to be the go-home show for TakeOver: Toronto, a full preview of which you can expect to see very soon. But for now, here’s a quick recap and review of what went down on the August 7th, 2019 edition of NXT! Street Profits opened the show for a contract signing for their NXT Tag Team Title defense against the Undisputed Era. Hilariously, Regal is there waiting in the ring with the world’s tiniest table, atleast the smallest they’ve ever used for a contract signing. It’s easy…

– There’s been much ado as to what AEW’s show on TNT will be called. The general thought was Wednesday Night Dynamite, which I don’t hate but I liked the idea a lot more when it was ‘Tuesday Night’. Just rolled off the tongue better, wouldn’t really put Wednesday in the name of a show. Anyway that speculation resurfaced today, because PWInsider is reporting that a new trademark for AEW has been filed. Those who saw the press conferences and ticket rallies earlier in the year might recall a line spoken by Cody Rhodes. “It kind of feels like, it…

After the Spears/Cody contract signing last week, we’re up now with AEW Road To All Out Episode 4. We start with a classical tribute to Harley Race before going right to Alex Marvez in the Control Room. He discusses TripleMania XXVII, and shows some highlights from the matches in which AEW’s EVPs guest starred. He then takes us to Chief Branding Officer Brandi Rhodes to talk about how the AEW Women’s Champion will be crowned. Brandi announces that the Casino Royale, the royal rumble riff from Double or Nothing, will return at All Out, this time with 21 women. I…

So during last night’s episode of SmackDown, we saw a revelation in the case of Roman Reigns’ mystery attacker. After Daniel Bryan and Rowan defeated the New Day in tag team action, they were still in the ring watching as Roman questioned Buddy Murphy. Murphy himself being a suspect in the case. Buddy at first stated that he saw no one, and wouldn’t tell Roman even if he had. Roman responded by attacking him, pushing him against a wall and demanding a name. Eventually, Buddy relented and explained that it was Rowan, and Rowan alone who he saw. Cue Bryan…

Over the last few days, plenty of details have been released about WWE 2K20. First things first, the game drops on October 22nd. As always, it will see releases on the PS4, Xbox One and Windows. And the cover stars are none other than Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch, proving that the folks at 2K read our articles! Becky is of course the first woman to have the distinction. We also know that the rumors are true… a Showcase mode focusing on the Women’s Evolution will be included in the game! WWE’s Showcase is a long-running mode in which you…

Well the cat’s out of the bag, apparently. As this past edition of SmackDown came to a close, Roman Reigns confronted Buddy Murphy, one of the internet’s prime suspects for the incidents that have been threatening Roman’s life. After Buddy initially denied knowing anything, Roman roughed him up until he started to talk. WWE’s Best Kept Secret revealed that it was none other than… Rowan. Not Daniel Bryan, atleast as far as he knew. He just saw Rowan. Cut to Bryan and Rowan, who just happened to be in the ring as this went down, looking concerned. Now of course,…

Yesterday on the latest episode of Being The Elite, Kenny, Cody and the Young Bucks pulled a bit of a rib on us. They celebrated the sell out of their inaugural episode of AEW on TNT. But the conversation quickly spilled into them pretending they had no locations planned whatsoever for any of the episodes going forward. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdAJ29S1cYY In keeping with how things usually go on BTE, they proceeded to rattle off big decisions as if they’re being made on the spot. Each camp talked about where they wanted AEW on TNT (that’s just what I’ll keep calling it until…

At the end of tonight’s Raw, Dolph Ziggler and the Miz were set to have a contract signing ahead of their scheduled match this Sunday at SummerSlam. And none other than Shawn Michaels was presiding over the whole thing. Ziggler has not only been needling Miz, but many legendary figures in wrestling. These include HBK and another man who came to fame in the 90s, one Bill Goldberg. Dolph of course ran down both Miz and Shawn, before signing his contract. But Miz let him know that he needed to read the fine print, because the opponent Ziggler just signed…

As of writing, Monday Night Raw is only minutes from starting. And we have a fair bit advertised going into this show, including the in-ring return of the one and only Trish Stratus! Trish Stratus has recently been confirmed to be facing Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam. The two of them will share a ring for the first time tonight, as Trish Stratus teams up with Natalya against Charlotte and Becky Lynch. The latter there is a begrudging pairing to be sure, as Becky and Charlotte have been enemies for the past year straight. On the other side, we have the…
