NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Seven & Eight Review]: Starmakers.

DAY SEVEN - A BLOCK – Zack Sabre Jr. v Bad Luck Fale - I'll take a 6-minute count-out loss for Fale! - 2.75/5 – Hiroshi Tanahashi v Lance Archer - A really good match that felt more like an appetizer for the two than anything truly epic. But the story was great and Archer …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Five & Six Review]: Who Let The Dogs Out?

I'm at Comic-Con, marks, so some of these are coming in a little late (hell, I'm watching this morning's Day Seven event as we speak!). But you can thank the lovely cardio room at San Diego's Grand Hyatt hotel for my early morning, post-convention G1 viewing pleasure during this otherwise wild nerd-out weekend. Here's my …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Three & Four Review]: The Heat is On.

NIGHT THREE - A BLOCK – Lance Archer v Bad Luck Fale - This match went a helluva lot better than I imagined. That's chiefly in part to how great New Japan is pushing their new singles monster, Lance Archer. To get a clean, pretty dominant win -- via Iron Claw nonetheless! -- over a …

It finally happened. The WWE Network streamed their first indie show live in the form of EVOLVE 131. This was EVOLVE's 10th Anniversary Show and it was everything marks would expect and more. I've been an EVOLVE fan for a couple of years now and I'll even be there live in Melrose, Massachusetts tonight. I …

AEW FIGHT FOR THE FALLEN [Review]: Boing!

-Peter “The Librarian” Avalon (w/Leva “The Librarian” Bates) vs. Sonny Kiss - It was just a match. Kiss looked good (yeah, hunnie!), despite the pairing's lack of in-ring chemistry. I do like that that was designed as a pre-show match to showcase Sonny and (hopefully) bury the Librarians. I know marks are begging for the …

NJPW G1 CLIMAX 29 [Day Two Review]: The Last Samurai.

B BLOCK - Juice Robinson vs. Shingo Takagi - An opening match to this year's G1 Climax B Block worthy of a main event in any other town. Juice has a new look, new attitude, and he's ready to let the "CJ Parker" go with a stronger, stiffer working style, and had no problem exchanging …
