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.
We have ourselves another edition of AEW Dark uploaded earlier in the evening. They run down the card and it’s an eccentric one as usual. First up we have a tag team match as Low Rida and Fuego Del Sol make their way out, debut for them both. They seem to be an actual team watching them come out, or atleast they do a pretty good job of acting like one. They face off with Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky of SCU! The third man in the group is in a singles match later tonight. Fuego Del Sol & Low…
WWE Monday Night Raw continues. We get a card rundown for Backlash culminating in hyping Asuka vs. Nia Jax – this is actually Jax’s first mention on the show as far as I recall even though Asuka has appeared plenty. I presume we’ll see her in this closing segment as Asuka comes out for this main event match against Charlotte Flair. Right as the bell rings, Sasha Banks and Bayley come out once again and join the commentary booth I suppose. WWE Raw Women’s Champion Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair (Non-title) As Asuka is distracted, Charlotte catches her with a clothesline!…
WWE Raw continues, MVP and Bobby Lashley now facing off with the Viking Raiders. MVP & Bobby Lashley vs. The Viking Raiders MVP and Ivar start but MVP immediately tags out to Lashley, Bobby gets the advantage, hits a Flatliner and takes Ivar to the heel corner. Quick tags and isolation as they double team him. Ivar fights back, hoists Lashley over to his corner and Erik tags in, forces Lashley back to the heel corner where MVP tags in. Erik drives him into a neutral corner and hits a shoulder thrust. Back to the Raiders’ corner, tag to Ivar…
WWE Raw continues. Drew McIntyre will be inserting himself into the VIP Lounge later on but first, Charlotte Flair says she did not lose at TakeOver: In Your House, not pinned or made to submit. She was raised to follow the rule that to be the woman you beat the woman. But she accomplished her goal, she elevated the title and the NXT brand and she main evented TakeOver, now she’s main eventing Raw. Asuka dances in front of her. Flair gets upset and asks if she ever takes anything seriously. Asuka says she does and slaps her across the…
WWE Raw rolls on with Apollo Crews coming out to talk about how excited he is to defend the WWE United States Championship at Backlash. His challenger will be determined by a triple threat match between Andrade, Angel Garza and Kevin Owens. Andrade and Garza cut him off but Owens attacks them on the way down, retaliation for pre-match attacks in recent weeks! He sends both men into the barricade before rushing into the ring and demanding they both enter! Commercial break. Kevin Owens vs. Angel Garza vs. Andrade As the bell rings when we come back, Angel and Andrade…
MVP is being interviewed backstage, says if the interviewer wants to hear the full details of the excruciating Full Nelson that Lashley applied to McIntyre and will do so again at Backlash, she’ll have to listen later tonight on the VIP Lounge. R-Truth appears and is looking for a hiding spot. MVP calls him a clown and Lashley attacks from behind to put him in the Full Nelson to drop him. They walk off. Truth continues to be the only one they’re consistently willing to feed to Lashley in the build to his world title match. We now have the…

She tells him that to her understanding, he is. Orton asks if the segment is up next and she says. He replies “Outstanding” and starts to leave but she asks him what he’s doing. Randy says he thinks there might just be two guests. Incredibly, in the…
WWE Raw continues. Rey Mysterio has another video interview tonight and Seth Rollins is on the broadcast booth to watch. Rey says he saw his doctor this morning and the prognosis is promising, his eye is healing but any further damage or infection is always at a high risk. Rey says that when he gets back into the ring, he won’t wait until the end of the match to hit a 619, at the start of a match there will be a 619 with the name ‘Monday Night Messiah’ written all over it. He promises to kick his ass for…
