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.

Not for nothing, but I’m pretty sure that the other two teams in this match are also best friends. Just sayin’! Anyway, looks like AEW’s continuing the trend of having qualifiers as part of their Buy In portions of their shows, which does make some sense when you think about it.

You can expect results within seconds of a match’s conclusion and maybe even a sassy line or two! Kickoff show is underway.  Within seconds a…

The 25th NXT Takeover event, kindly titled NXT Takeover XXV, is in the books. If this was a main roster show they would’ve tried to call it the 25th Anniversary of Takeover… It’s one that was plagued with unforeseen issues in the build, to the point where it seemed like the show was damn near cursed before it ever occurred. Dominick Dijakovic, would-be challenger to Velveteen Dream’s North American title, got injured a month before the show, with only three NXT episodes left from a lone taping to come up with a suitable replacement. The War Raiders/Viking Experience/Viking Raiders were called…
