Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Let’s get straight into it and see what went down in this episode…

Match #1: Fallon Henley def. Tiffany Stratton The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Fallon Henley may have won the battle against Tiffany Stratton, but The Blonde Bombshell may be winning the war. Stratton looked like her usual dominant self showcasing her amazing blend of power and athleticism, but one roll-up from Henley allowed the country Superstar to score a major victory. However, after the match, an infuriated Stratton concentrated her frustrations on Henley and dumped trash on the helpless Superstar.

My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Nxt Men’s Breakout Tournament – Lexis King def. Dion Lennox The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

After attacking Trey Bearhill last week on Nxt and being inserted in the Nxt Men’s Breakout Tournament, Lexis King...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features a moderate six matches (and isn’t a bunch of repeats unlike this week’s Elevation – hence no review of it). Let’s see what went down…

Match #1: Harley Cameron def. Mafiosa

My Thoughts: Qtv’s “Harley Cameron” gets her first singles match on Dark and it was a pretty solid debut. Nothing to set the world alight but both women gave as good as they got and in the end it was everything a Dark debut could be against enhancement talent that are, unfortunately, never booked as aggressively as signed talent.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Blake Christian def. Lee Johnson

My Thoughts: Honestly I was surprised to see Lee Johnson lose this one – even if it does feel like its been an eternity since he’s been on Aew programming. That’s not really the...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features just four matches – matching this week’s Elevation. Let’s see what went down…

Match #1: Matt Taven def. Brian Pillman Jr.

My Thoughts: An impressive opening match with Brian Pillman holding his own against the more experienced Taven – which I honestly did not expect. Pillman, in the few solo matches he’s had recently, has shown a new side to his character and seems to have come on leaps and bounds with his skills too.

My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Lee Johnson def. Blake Li

My Thoughts: It’s Lee versus Li in a squash match to the death… No, seriously, this was your typical Aew squash match. with Li getting at least one movie in before Lee took over and ended the match in swift fashion.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Josh Woods def. Daisy...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features eleven(!) matches which immediately fills me with dread… Anyway, on with the review.

Match #1: Matt Menard & Angelo Parker def. Fuego Del Sol & Leon Ruffin

My Thoughts: A decent opening match and it was great to see Fuego Del Sol back in action on Aew programming, especially here where he teams with Leon Ruffin. A decent start to the show.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Mei Suruga def. Hyena Hera

My Thoughts: Hyena Hera tried to use her height advantage over Mei Suruga but it was not to be as Suruga went rabid and started biting Hera! The rest of the match was a decent back and forth between the two. Nothing super exciting but good enough.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #3: Varsity Athletes def. Allen Russell & Kameron Russell

My Thoughts: I’ve said for a few...

It’s Monday so you know what that means, it’s time for our weekly review of Aew: Rampage! This week’s show features Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Jim Ross on commentary. Now let’s get to the review…

Match #1: Aew World Trios Championship Match The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks – Nick & Matt Jackson) def. Ethan Page, Isiah Kassidy, & Matt Hardy The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Isiah Kassidy worked over Nick’s arm but Nick escaped and hit a twisting arm drag off the top rope. Nick tagged in Matt Jackson and the Bucks used their tandem offense on Kassidy. Kenny Omega and Matt Jackson tagged in for their respective teams. They locked up and Hardy hit a shoulder block. Omega avoided a Side Effect from Hardy. Matt Hardy was looking to jump off the top rope onto Ethan Page when Page stole the glory, knocking down Omega.

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features nine matches and is once again filmed at the Dark studios in Orlando, Florida rather than coming from on the road… Anyway, on with the review.

Match #1: Ar Fox & Top Flight def. The Wingmen

My Thoughts: What’s this? The Wingmen in a decent match shocker! I know that’s hard to believe given how they’ve been booked in forever… but it looks like the were given a chance to shine against Top Flight and Ar Fox, who also managed to draw out decent wrestling from the normally-comedic team. Surprising but superb start to this week’s show.

My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Red Velvet def. Sofia Castillo

My Thoughts: What went on here then? Red Velvet has a good match on Elevation then we get this on Dark. In one match she looks strong and...

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features seven matches on the card And is the 100th episode of the show… however we get no celebration, no rejoicing, just another YouTube show with regulars Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary, joined once again by Roh’s Ian Riccaboni. So let’s get into the review!

Match #1: Red Velvet def. Billie Starkz

My Thoughts: What a cracking start to this week’s Elevation. Red Velvet and Billie Starkz put on a great competitive match that made Bille Starkz look good in defeat and was a great showcase for Red Velvet – who’s surely going to be the one to, given recent events, dethrone Jade Cargill? Loved this one.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Dark Order (John Silver and Alex Reynolds) def. The Workhorsemen (Jd Drake and Anthony Henry)

My Thoughts: Two great tag teams going at it,...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features thirteen(!) matches… Yes, the match count is creeping up, something I’m not a fan of! Anyway, on with the review.

Match #1: Christopher Daniels def. Brian Pillman Jr.

My Thoughts: It’s great to see Christopher Daniels in action again, even if it is on Dark. This was a decent back and forth, with an outcome that was always in doubt (which is great to see!). Daniels hit the Bme for the crowd-pleasing finish.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Emi Sakura def. Jada Stone

My Thoughts: Jada Stone got one move in here, I’m not sure that even qualifies as a typical Aew quasi-squash Tbh. Not much wet on here, so not much more to say than that!

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Ryan Nemeth def. Dak Draper

My Thoughts: Who cares… It’s a Ryan Nemeth match.

Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, and yes, given how much wrestling we had to cover last week I missed last week’s show! This week features seven matches and a number of big-name stars! We’ve got Ian Riccaboni, Matt Menard and Jose the Assistant on commentary, so let’s get into the review…

Match #1: 10 def. Baron Black

My Thoughts: Baron Black jumped 10 before the bell and 10 totally no-sold it, along with everything else Black tried to throw at him. I do wonder what the plan is for 10… He is being head-hunted by Jose the Assistant on behalf of the Lfi, yet when he gets a decent singles match Aew throw Orange Cassidy into the mix?! Then he goes and has squash matches like this. What is the plan? What It It?!

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Eddie Kingston and Ortiz def. Russ Myers...

It’s Monday morning, so you know what that means, it’s time for this week’s review of Aew: Rampage! This week’s show was broadcast from the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C. and featured Excalibur, Chris Jericho and Jim Ross on commentary… Now let’s get to the review!

Match #1: Claudio Castagnoli, Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta def. Isiah Kassidy, Marq Quen & Rush The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

William Regal joined the commentary team for this match. The Firm watched from the front row. Kassidy and Yuta chain wrestled. Wheeler rolled up Kassidy for a near fall. Rush tagged in and taunted Moxley. Moxley tagged in and he and Rush slugged it out in the center of the ring. Mox charged in with a high boot to Rush’s jaw. Moxley planted Rush with a stalling German suplex. Marq Quen inadvertently kicked Rush when...

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew: Dynamite, which was broadcast live from the Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia and is a “Dragon” themed show (gotta get that product placement/ad cash!) We’ve Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, Jr and Taz on commentary, so let’s get to the review!

Match #1: 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match – Bryan Danielson def. Daniel Garcia The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Danielson and Garcia grappled on the ground until Danielson got the mount. Garcia got out but Danielson started the ground and pound. Garcia transitioned to a knee bar and both competitors began to exchange kicks. Danielson got a heel hook to counter the knee bar. Garcia backed Bryan into the corner and then slapped him. Bryan connected with an open palm strike and followed up with a suplex. Garcia used a butterfly suplex on Bryan Danielson and then applied an arm lock.

This week’s episode of Aew: Dynamite is first of two shows of Fyter Fest week two. This week Dynamite emanated from the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia; with Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, and Taz on commentary yet again. Let’s get into the week two, night one, action!

Match #1: Brody King def. Darby Allin The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Darby blasted Brody with a shotgun dropkick and then followed up with a tope suicida. Darby’s feet got hung up on the middle rope and Brody took advantage of this, grabbing Darby and hurling him into the steel ring barricade. Darby jumped on Brody’s back but Brody flung him off and followed up with two consecutive sentons onto Darby. Brody King chopped Darby’s chest. Darby jumped off the turnbuckles but Brody countered with another chop. Brody grabbed Darby by the belt and rag dolled him across the ring.

Another episode of Aew: Dark, which this week is back being taped at Aew Universal. Let’s join Taz and Excalibur, commentators for Dark as usual, and see what this week’s Nine matches have in store… The match count keeps getting higher!

Match #1: Max Caster def. Trever Aeon

My Thoughts: Trever Aeon certainly has a striking look, however he didn’t have the striking ability to beat Max Caster who took the fight to Aeon in a typical Aew quasi-squash match!

My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Serpentico def. Vary Morales

My Thoughts: Serpentico wrestling in another singles match without Luther? Joy! Here he takes on the ever-reliable Vary Morales, who’s always impressed in his Aew appearances. And that’s the case here too, as Morales goes toe-to-toe with Serpentico in a fantastic, fast-paced match between two evenly-matched competitors.

My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #3: Kris Statlander def.

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation, we’re back to just Mark Henry and Paul Wight on commentary and this week’s show is another short card, featuring 6 matches this week. Let’s get right into the action!

Match #1: Ethan Page def. Jd Griffey

My Thoughts: Griffey had a decent showing here in this quasi-squash match, but this one was Ethan Page’s to lose. It’s good to see Page actually wrestling on Aew television and not just cutting promos. Maybe now Scorpio Sky has the TNT Title spotlight that some of the spotlight will rub off on Page. Here’s Hoping!

My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Roh Women’s Title Match – Mercedes Martinez def. Hyan

My Thoughts: Mercedes Martinez gave Texas local Hyan a Lot of room here. It even looked like she was doing Hyan’s moves for her at one point!

Welcome to the first of this weeks Aew reviews, Aew Dark: Elevation, which kicks off the wrestling week for us here at Nerdly. As always I’m editor Phil and let’s get straight into the review!

Match 1: Riho def. Angelica Risk

My Thoughts: I expected this to be a swift squash match for Riho on the road to her match against Jamie Hayter later this week but that was not what we got. Angelica Risk was actually a decent opponent for Riho, matching Riho’s speed with her own strength – with a running hip (really butt) shot on Riho in the corner that looked vicious.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match 2: Brock Anderson, Lee Johnson & Dustin Rhodes def. The Wingmen

My Thoughts: A solid trios match that saw Dustin Rhoides outclass everyone in the match in the brioef time he was in the ring. As I always say,...

Welcome to this week’s Aew: Rampage review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I vote me…to kick my ass! Ow! Take that me! Ow! You son of a bitch! Rampage starts now!

[Author’s Note: Darby Allin, who’s been accused of rape, is on this show and if that alarms or upsets you, then viewer discretion is advised]. Match #1: Andrade El Idolo (w/ Chavo Guerrero) def. Pac The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

The Verdict: 8 out of 10 – This was a damn good match. It was worth waiting for. Both fighters worked well together and delivered the kind of fast, aerial action that blended the more modest kind of wrestling that you might find in a WWE match with the raucous mayhem many were expecting. Measured is a word I’d actually attribute to this bout. You get equal parts stunts and strikes being mixed into this Poop Deck Pappy.

Opening with a replay of the post-Saturday Night Dynamite promo by Eddie Kingston (which was already available to view on Aew’s YouTube channel) this weeks episode of Aew Dark: Elevation is going to one of the final few before Aew hits the road and, I’m guessing, we don’t see as many indie wrestlers making their appearance(s) as enhancement talent on Dark and Elevation… Anyway, back to the review!

Match #1: Billy Gunn and Colten Gunn def. Jd Drake and Ryan Nemeth

My Thoughts: I was hoping for something interesting from this opener and instead we got another Gunn Club quasi-squash match; with Colten taking a beating from Nemeth and then Jd Drake (though there were a couple of botches and telegraphed spots as it happened), before tagging in his dad to run buck-wild on the Wingmen and get the win after hitting the Famouser on Nemeth.

Welcome to this weeks episode of Aew: Dark, I’m editor Phil and let’s not mess around with extraneous introductory waffle and let’s just jump straight into this weeks episode!

Match #1: Lance Archer def. Rex Lawless

My Thoughts: Well this one went on longer than expected for a Lance Archer squash match! Still this one didn’t go longer than two minutes with Archer eventually hitting the Blackout of Lawless for the win. Nice to see Archer taking on someone slightly bigger than normal too… seems unfair to have him throwing little guys around all the time.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Brian Pillman Jr. def. Bear Bronson

My Thoughts: I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into this one. After all Bear Bronson is a big guy and Pillman isn’t. I know I didn’t expect Pillman Jr. to win with a crossbody,...

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew Dark: Elevation, from Daily’s Place and in front of a live audience yet again. Without further adieu… lets’ get into it!

Match #1: Jade Cargill def. Rache Chanel

My Thoughts: A fast and decisive squash match for Jade Cargill, which techinically was little more than a reason “Smart” Mark Sterling to cut a promo about and on behalf of Cargill.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Santana & Ortiz def. Liam Gray & Adrian Alanis

My Thoughts: Former Evolve tag team partners Liam Gray and Adiran Alanis we’re back together tagging against Proud & Powerful who look to be repeating the Britt Baker formula of racking up wins on Dark and Elevation – and I’m here for it. It really is great to see Santana and Ortiz actually in a tag match rather than being part of more Inner Circle shenanigans! Can’t wait...

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which is the first (I think) to be filmed in front of a huge live crowd and deals with the fallout from this past weekend’s Double or Nothing. And in a real shocker… this episode is not even Ninety minutes long!

Match #1: The Acclaimed – Max Caster and Anthony Bowens def. Brent & Brandon Tate

My Thoughts: The Acclaimed delivered yet another great match against twins, and current Ovw Tag Team Champions Brent & Brandon Tate – how displayed just why they are champs. Though it was enough for the fluid tag team work of Bowens and Caster.

My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Leyla Hirsch def. Robyn Renegade

My Thoughts: So, so glad that the live crowd at the taping of this match popped for Leyla Hirsch – I’ve always said she’s one of my favourite Aew stars and it now...

Welcome to this return of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this simplified version of the column shall encompass all of the major reviews on the site and serve as the exclusive debut of many of the leagues’ different reviews, including the Major League Wrestling, Ring Of Honor, National Wrestling Alliance, Nxt UK and 205 Live, along with my versions of the two Aew: Dark reviews and the debut of New Japan Strong. These promotions will have their matches scored and the best match of the week will be named before we wrap-up with a verdict on the week in wrestling overall. Okay. Let’s kick some ass. Melvin McMelvin: You cannot say such things! Me: Who the f—k are you? McM: I am Melvin McMelvin, attorney for the Internetal Protectorate! I represent the decency of the internet! I got rid of Cambodian Thong Pies!

Fans, friends, and family members of Flyin' Brian Pillman are paying tribute to the late pro wrestler on what would have been his 59th birthday. Known for his antics as "The Loose Cannon" in WCW, Ecw, and WWE, Pillman passed away at the age of 35 back in 1997. His tragic tale was recently chronicled with the two-part season 3 premiere of Dark Side of the Ring, Vice TV's acclaimed documentary series highlighting pro wrestling's darkest stories.

Pillman might be gone, but many are honoring him on social media. One particularly touching tribute post comes from Pillman's son, Aew star Brian Pillman Jr., who has since been following in his father's footsteps as a professional wrestler. On his way to an indie show hosted by New England All-Star Wrestling, Brian posted an image of himself wearing the same unique shirt his father often wore on WWE television.

In the caption, Jr. writes: "Happy Birthday Dad!

Welcome to this week’s Mlw: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Daniel Baldwin is not dumb-stupid! Me smart! Alec dumb! Stephen Baldwin buck-toothed dip-s—t! Billy Baldwin good-looking! Adam sissy! Daniel Baldwin run into wall! Ow! Casey Anthony: I didn’t kill my daughter. Daniel Baldwin: I like cheese! Me: Oh God! The change happened again! I was The Baldwins…and that moose that ate the baby! This has got to stop! Wait…f—k it. Let’s start the review.

Match #1: Lio Rush def. Brian Pillman Jr. – Mlw Middleweight Title Match The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Pre-match, Lio calls Pillman a “cosplay clown” but Brian looks like he has the eye of the tiger as the champ makes his way to the ring. The belt is hoisted and the bell sounds. Each men take their time at getting offense...

Welcome to this weeks Aew: Dark review, which comes hot on the heels of the Revolution pay per view and – as I’m in the UK – after the news that Aew and Impact are teaming up for a Champ vs. Champ title match next month!

Match #1: Powerhouse Hobbs def. Angel Fashion

Powerhouse Hobbs opened Dark with a match against Angel Fashion who, given that he lost in a tag team match against Team Taz’s Ricky Starks and Brian Cage last week, seems to be a human punching bag for the oragen and black mean machine crew. Oh, and this was a squash… As if you coudln’t guess given the size difference between these two men.

My score: 1 out of 5

Match #2: Scu def. Azriel & Danny Limelight

Azriel and Limelight were thrown together in a tag match against Scu, who were fresh off their Loss at Revolution in the Casino Tag Team Royale.

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew: Dark, which is the lead-in for this weeks huge “Crossroads” episode of Dynamite… Let’s get right to it!

Lee Johnson and Aaron Solow def. Louie Valle and Chris Peaks

Lee Johnson and Aaron Solow, members of the Nightmare Family are led out to the ring by Arn Anderson cementing them as The tag team to beat… Which meant that the outcome of this match was inevitable, though that doesn’t mean this disappointed. In fact anything but. Solow and Johnson worked great together, flowing smoothly as a tag team and whilst they lost, Peaks and Valle put up some great offense – when they weren’t telegraphing moves!

My score: 2 out of 5

Red Velvet and KiLynn King def. Ivelisse and Diamante

So someone decided to put Red Velvet in a tag team with KiLynn King the night before her big match against Shaq and Jade Vargill.

Major League Wrestling have today announced Injustice (Myron Reed & Jordan Oliver) vs. Contra Unit for this Wednesday, February 10th on Mlw’s flagship weekly series, Mlw: Fusion, available on YouTube, Fubo Sports, Dazn, beIN Sports and the Roku Channel. Learn more about where to watch.

Jordan Oliver and Myron Reed have wanted to get Contra in the ring or on the streets since last summer, watch Reed & Oliver challenge Contra to a match:

Contra Unit extinguished the bright career of Injustice’s Kotto Brazil last May and ever since Reed and Oliver have been determined to get some justice. With Injustice calling out the “global dealers in violence for months,” Contra would strike with fury moments after Reed endured his heartbreaking championship loss. Injustice endured a brutal beatdown courtesy of Contra, where the Iranian super soldier Daivari would be revealed as having joined up in arms with the international cabal.

Major League Wrestling have today announced Ach vs. Brian Pillman Jr. for this Wednesday February 10th on Mlw’s flagship weekly series, Mlw: Fusion, available on YouTube, Fubo Sports, Dazn, beIN Sports and the Roku Channel.

Ach is not in a good mood since Team Filthy (allegedly) attacked him just days before the biggest match of his life – most likely changing the outcome of the Fatu/Ach World Heavyweight Championship bout.Now, Ach looks to unleash his fury in the ring and make a statement as he eyes payback on Team Filthy for their disgraceful conduct. But is Ach 100%? The short answer: No. Ach’s ribs remain tender, following the attack by Team Filthy. Dr. Sweglar said it could take up to a half year for him to fully recover. Does this create an opportunity for Pillman? Will Ach bounce back after heartbreaking heavyweight title match?

Scheduled for Wednesday’s card: Title vs.

Welcome to this week’s episode of Mlw: Fusion, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Marco Polo got lost in a swimming pool. We’ve got Salina de la Renta as the booker and Mary Poppins…With A Shot-Gun! With a spoon full of…Boom!…the medicine goes down. I’m the hottest chick in the world and this s— starts…My Boobs!

Match #1: Low Ki def. Budd Heavy The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

The bout is quicker than a New York Minute as The Lone Wolf of Brooklyn comes charging heavy at Heavy with a running elbow strike and downs the big man for the knock out and the referee stoppage. Eight seconds. That’s all it took.

My Opinion: 0.6 out of 5

Match #2: Mil Muertes (presented by Salina de la Renta) def. Brian Pillman Jr. The following is courtesy of mlw.com:...

When Tony Khan started Aew two years ago, he immediately linked himself with Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks.

In the opening days of the company, Khan was the man behind the curtain. However, “The Elite” as they are known, were the faces of the company. They were the ones out front in press conferences and at the top of the early cards.

When Aew first began to run shows in the summer of 2019, Kenny, Cody, and The Bucks were staples of the show. Omega was in the company’s first world title match and Cody embarked on a personal feud against his brother, Dustin. On Aew’s first pay-per-view, Double or Nothing ’19, Rhodes and Omega had the two biggest matches on the card.

Slowly though, Cody began to separate himself from the rest of the group. He took his own path after losing to Chris Jericho in...

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and it’s been a little while since I reviewed Dark, because the match amount and weekly length of the show was becoming very difficult to deal with as the rest of the usual wrestling shows were coming back and yada yada yada. In an effort to retain my sanity, I’m gonna start reviewing Aew Dark a bit differently. Since they just keep loading this show with squash matches, I’m going to stop reviewing this show per match and instead just make comments about the best performances of the wrestlers themselves. My apologies to those that want an individual match review per show, but I don’t wanna start to hate this show and reviewing a show that has a weekly card that is in excess of twenty or so matches…...

Welcome to this double-sized review of All Elite Wrestling: Dark, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have five million matches to get to, so let’s get to them before I smash my balls with a tire-iron.

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and if this so has one more squash match, then I’ll review it. If you take a poop and drop your watch in the toilet, then you’re gonna have a shitty time. On this episode of M.A.S.H, they go daaaaaaaaaaaaanciiiiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!

Welcome to another double-stuffed review of All Elite Wrestling: Dark, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m doing the number-rating-only deal for this sucker. I’ll still recommend the matches that were the best, but that’s it Brad Pitt.

Welcome to this week’s review of All Elite Wrestling: Dark, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Canada can suck it! On this episode of Unsolved Mysteries, we look into the case of this show and why there are So Many Phucken Squash Matchessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!! If I see another squash match on this show, then I’m gonna be so pissed off! So, there had better be no squash matches…Damn It!!!!!!!

Match #1: Rey Fénix def. Lee Johnson

My Opinion: 3.1 out of 5 – This was all about Rey’s fantastic performance, one that was mean and meaty, but had a nice crisp bite to it with a bit of heat…very nice. Really, Rey was the whole reason to see this. Lee did well as Rey’s punching bag, but that’s what Lee was there for. Keep an eye on Rey, because he just might be in...

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we’ve got an hour of action, because fickle ol’ Tony can’t make-up his frickin’ mind! I…don’t wanna do this. I’m gonna let Mark D. Mark handle this…old prick.

Greetings dorks and dorkettes! “Smart” Mark D. Mark here to handle all of your wrestling needs, while Nathan totters off to stick his tongue in his dead mom’s bone-dust like the chode that he is. We have more pathetic losers grappling their little hearts out because they don’t have the guts to abandon their pathetic dreams because their pathetic lives hang on the tenuous grip of sanity that the roar of the crowd provides. In this hour of majority silence, I, “Smart” Mark D. Mark, would like to remind you that Covid-19 is just fake...

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and “I’m Not In Love, But I Called You Up, Just To See If Things Are Goin’ Well”, because you’re getting a Brand New Submarine!!!!!!! Brian Cage defends the Ftw World Title against Brian Pillman Jr., so don’t ask about that Daredevil TV show, because it bored me (fight scenes kicked ass though).

Match #1: The Nightmare Sisters (Allie and Brandi Rhodes with Dustin Rhodes) def. Diamante and Rache Chanel

My Opinion: 2.3 out of 5 – This was a weak match that saw Diamante kicks some ass and Allie followed along right behind her. There’s some-thing here with Rache, but she doesn’t have enough immediate talent to be on TV yet. That being said, Rache has a weird, 1996 Booker T stance that she has when she fights that she...

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Hardbody Harrison is in jail for life, because he’s an idiot…and an evil perv. The show has six matches, which includes a match from Brian Pillman Jr., who now has to thank the booker-man for this wonderful opportunity…to get Covid-19. Dark starts… I can’t believe you don’t shut-up!

Match #1: Shawn Spears def. Brian Pillman Jr.

My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – This should have been a much longer match, but for the one we got, this was still fun and tantalizing…like Lorraine Bracco…good for her. Bp did well, except for the oil spill, but what does a seagull know? You’ll see some nice mat work here, but it all felt too brief and secondary to Spears’s and his stupid glove. If you like a...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and my banana hammock is more like a tooth-pick in a hanky. We’ve got only two matches this week. Did you know I moon-light as Megan Fox on the weekends, except I don’t look anything like her and my name is MacGarnagle, decrepit detective. Well MacGarnagle, Billy’s dead… It’s Mlw time.

Match #1: Richard Holliday def. Chessman – Caribbean Championship Match The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Before the bell rings, Holliday takes a pause to sanitize his hands and then takes a moment to pieface Chessman. Chessman has had plenty and slugs away at Rich before double dropkicking him out of the ring. Chessman’s chair comes into play onto the outside and Richard uses it to his advantage. Holliday soon goes for a pin attempt in...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Mjf’s big Loser Leaves Town Match with Mance Warner for our main event. Muscular dystrophy is a very real threat and I like pudding pops! Let’s get to the wrestling! Also, muscular dystrophy victims deserve our understanding and support. Also…I like pudding pops! Wrestling kunsaku meijuda ponsutaka raidiaka kazuun!

Match #1: Douglas James defeated Septimo Dragon The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Septimo is swift on his feet but James is more frustrated than impressed and shows that aggression with a low suicide dive onto the outside. Septimo soon returns the favor with a standing moonsault onto the outside and then a suicide dive as a secondary receipt. Hard slaps in the corner by Septimo before eluding the attacks of James, flourishing with a modified hurricanrana,...

Welcome to this week’s Mlw: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the Jagged Edge Killer…it’s Slade! I hate that f—— blonde haired goon and don’t tell me it was Jack Forrester either…doesn’t even own a typewriter. Okay, let’s get right to the action on the 100th episode of the show, with Cima getting a crack at the World Championship.

Match #1: Davey Boy Smith defeated Erick Stevens The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Tom Lawlor is on commentary as the two lock up. Big “Let’s Go Davey” chants echo throughout the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Shoulder tackle downs Stevens as the sold out crowd continues behind Db. Several snapmares by Davey who soons piefaces Stevens down. Some very hard shots traded between the two. Two bodyslams and a leg drop leads to Db hoisting Erick...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Regina King has won the Soul Train award 15 times. Now that the whole Mlw roster has left the league for the animal shelter, so we’re gonna watch a bunch of rhinos from the zoo, ram each other from an hour.

Match #1: Dominic Garrini def. Zenshi The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Zenshi shows his quickness against Dom, but once the two lock-up it’s a quick takedown by Garrini. Zenshi however, uses the ropes to flip free, but Dom maintains a grip on the ankle. Zenshi turns it into a pin combo for two. The Chilean star gets another pin attempt, and Garrini prompts him to come at him. Zenshi gets on the mat accepting his challenge, and Zenshi takes him to the mat with a headscissor takedown.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the finale of the Opera Cup, which is a tournament that has no signing or fat ladies. I’m so pissed! The good news is that we’ve got Davey Boy Smith Jr. fighting Brian Pillman Jr., so you don’t have to learn any new names. Hulk Hogan Jr., here I come!

Match #1: Myron Reed defeated El Lindaman – Major League Wrestling World Middle-Weight Championship The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Before the match, Myron agrees with all the Cassius Clay comparisons that are being thrown at him, but he’s no system rat, he’s no robot. He doesn’t fit in anyone’s mold. If he’s more like anything, he’s more like Muhammad Ali because he wants justice. Reed and Lindaman stare one another down.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we’ve got more of the Opera Cup tournament. As long as they sing once they win the thing, then I’m happy. That being said, if they even think about dancing…They’Re Firrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred! Okay, let’s get right to it.

Match #1: The Von Erichs (Marshall & Ross Von Erich) defeated The Filthy Squad (Kenn Doane & Mike Mondo) – Major League Wrestling World Tag Titles Match The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

It doesn’t take long for the action to start as Ross & Marshall go right on the attack. They give that offensive attakc an exclamation point with a double dropkick on Doane. That tide soon changes when the Squad isolate the younger Marshall. The Filthy Squad live up to their new name by attacking Marshall’s taped knee...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have The Opera Cup, which is a famous wrestling prize of yesteryear that has made its return in Mlw.

Match #1: King Mo & Ach def. Injustice (Kotto Brazil & Jordan Oliver w/ Myron Reed) The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Ach shows his pure athleticism as he starts off the match with a flurry of offense. He and Mo do a double team hip-toss on Brazil. Mo kicks the legs of Kotto and tags back in Ach. Guest on commentary Dan Lambert says Mo wants checks and he wants gold in Mlw and that’s evident in this match. Kotto Brazil shows his athleticism against Ach, but also shows his underhandedness as he allows his Injustice members to seize attack on Ach behind his back. Lambert makes it clear that...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of wrestling to get to, so get your copy of “The Last Waltz” ready, because it’s time to dance, mama.

Match #1: La Park & El Hijo de La Park defeated Septimo Dragon & Magnus The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

Salina de la Renta shows her serpent-like game plan as the Parks play pals with Septimo & Magnus before going on the attack. El Hijo and his father use “extra curricular means” to maintain control and begin splashing both in the corner. They then begin to take a chunk out of Magnus’ chest with some slaps against the ropes, but Magnus turns the tide with a corkscrew plancha before Septimo follows suit with a Tornillo. Magnus and Septimo get the action back in the ring and go for...

Welcome to this week’s review of Major League Wrestling: Fusion, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this is CNN. Howdy Doody was a rolling stone and it always rocked me gently, rocked me so. My name is Edith Ann and that’s the truth. Lppllsxslxpslspsls! That’s the sound of a tongue being stuck out and making that spitting raspberry noise. Okay, we’ve got a special global version of Fusion to get to, so let’s jump right into a massive undertaking that concludes with a modern wrestling icon fighting Hammerstone in the biggest match of his career, so far.

Sebastian Happ ain’t my name bayyyyyyy-bayyyyyyyyyaaaaaayyyyyy. Let’s find out what kind of picture we’ve got comin’ our groovy way tonight.

Match #1: Richard Holliday defeated Kotto Brazil The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

While the night didn’t end well for The Dynasty, Holliday got things started on this week’s show with a victory for his group. Holliday used a size and power advantage to defeat Kotto Brazil, who has apparently healed from his eye injuries. Brazil removed the eye patch that he’s been wearing for months on his way to the ring and competed without it. The extra eyesight didn’t necessarily help the Haitian Sensation, as Most Marketable scored the victory with a gut-wrench powerbomb.

Welcome to this week’s review of Major League Wrestling right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a Fury Road special to get to, so I can imagine we’ll get a big match or two on this card. Okay, let’s see if it was a great show or not.

Match #1: Gringo Loco defeated Myron Reed The following is courtesy of mlw.com:

The live special opened with Reed and Loco. Reed came to the ring with tape over his mouth, once again protesting what he feels has been unfair treatment by Mlw officials. But when referee Doug Markham, who has been the target of most of Reed’s ire, went to check Reed for any illegal objects, Reed wouldn’t allow it. That would come back to hurt Loco later. During the match, Reed thought he had the bout won. But Markham caught...
