(These guys have great chemistry! Really great match at a perfect life)

ROH pure championship

“ The Dragon slayer” Daniel Garcia Vs Weeler Yuta (c)  (9/7/22) ****1/2

(this is my sort of wrestling porn!! I could watch these guys wrestle all day long!! Really great and it honestly felt like they were grinding it out. I am disappointed by the outcome but it adds to a interesting story and it was a great match!!)

Tournament of champions

Sammy Guevara Vs Darby Allen ****1/2 (9/7/22)

(these two are amazing with each other! Love it! Love it)

Serena Deeb Vs Madison Rain ***

 (9/7/22)

Deeb should just crush everyone every time every match)

Jungle boy open challenge

“Jungle boy“ Jack Perry Vs Jay lethal 

 (9/7/22 ***1/2 (this was really good well put together I wish it could’ve gone a little longer and I wish they went a little deeper it could’ve been great but as it was it was very fun)

 Kokena Vs Davey Hskens (WOW 1990) *

(this is one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen!)

Bad company Vs David Sean 

Baxter & Night Rider (wow 1985) *

(this match looked like two real life wrestlers fighting to backyard wrestlers. Skills the amateurs Looking team definitely has some pro rules and prowess but they just didn’t look legit. The new rider is at chubby guy then spend that shorts and a yellow mask.. David Baxter looks like dollar store Ricky Morton. I feel like I’m tripping my balls off!)

Tournament of champions

 Jon Moxley Vs Sammy Guevara ( (AEW dynamite 9/14)) ***3/4 (fun match with a bit of Sports entertainment bullshit)

Athena and Toni storm Vs Serena Deeb and Britt Baker (AEW dynamite 9/14)) **3/4(I was a bit disappointed in this again perhaps a victim of my own expectations)

AEW tagteam title match

The Lucha brothers Vs swerve in our glory ( AEW dynamite 9/14) ****1/2 (wowie)

Tournament of champions

Chris Jericho Vs “ The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson (AEW dynamite 9/14)  ****1/2

(On this tournament the American Dragon has cemented why he’s the best I’d love to go back and watch all of his matches n this  back to back) 

Darby Allen Vs Matt Hardy ( AEW Rampage 9/16) ***1/4

(talk about better than I expected! Mat has really slowed down but nobody’s told him yet he really looks like he’s struggling to get around the ring, but there are moments where we see the old Hardy. But mostly Darby carried him. One thing I like about AW is how this very simple mid match is chalk full of backstory and Built in intrigue)

Penelope Ford Vs Willow **1/2 nightingale  ( AEW Rampage 9/16)  (I’m into Fords gimmick. I also really like willow! This could have 

Danhuasen Vs “All Ego” Ethan Page  **1/2 (AEW rampage 9/16)

(fun squash)

ROH pure title match

Samoa Joe (c) Vs Josh Woods ***1/4 

(I had high hopes for this it was good but I think my brain was fantasy booking 2005 Joe versus 2022 to Josh Woods)

Seth Rollins Vs Rey Mysterio (9/26 raw) 

(I just realize that Seth Rollins is doing a gimmick very similar to what Jimmy Jacobs was doing when they were a Tag Team back in Roh.  Really good Hotstar was totally stymied by a commercial break! In my eyes that commercial break has just killed the momentum of the match. I understand the nature the beast but as much as I don’t love the picture in picture it’s better than everything going to a crazy stop. They wouldn’t break for commercial in the middle of a double play or as the quarterback receives the snap.  They come back from the break and then we get some overbooked story line stuff and another commercial break… I know everyone says that this is different and it’s better than it was before but it seemed pretty on brand WWE and not at all like NXT)

Alpha Academy Vs Kevin Owens and Johnny Gargano (9/26 raw) *** (this could’ve been way better. It was pretty good but with the people involved even on just the baby face side of the ring it could have been awesome! Otis is really good at character work in between the ropes. I have a good mind to take this down a star rating just because Austin theory showed up! Am I the only one who feels like Austin theory is The made for TV version of Ricky starks! Good ending stretch! There’s A backstage segment after this that was fucking hilarious! Austin theory was complaining at Alford Academy when Bron Stroman called Chad Gable on Austin theory‘s phone to challenge him to a match next week! Braun Strowman weather on purpose or by accident sounded like jigsaw!!

Omas Vs two fellas your name I didn’t catch (9/26 raw) *1/2 

(I will say omas is looking better and they seem to be featuring him better) 

Candice Lerae Vs NIKI A.S.H (9/26 raw) * (did they have to do that to Ash?? They couldn’t get some local talent!! Candace looks great hopefully they push her to the stars!!) 

AJ styles Vs Sami Zayn (9/26 raw)  ***

(I miss baby face Sammy Zane and Heal AJ styles.  Things just start going and they hit another giant commercial break… and I’m looking at my phone when it comes back.. in what universe is Sammy versus AJ not a barnburner from start to finish? The WWE Universe!! No one in the business sells like Sammy Zane.. no one.. it was cool to see Sammy use some power moves. Definitely picked up after that first commercial some really good stuff. With that in mind why wouldn’t they go to another commercial and slow things down??? Dumb finish)

Matt Riddle Vs Damien priest (9/26 raw)  both these guys look great! There’s a spot that really popped me where riddle was going for a running kick on the apron and Baller moved him out of the way and took the kick! Super cool! It was followed immediately by a a gross falcon arrow like Suplex onto the barricade! This was what I’ve been waiting for on Monday night raw! Great finish but I feel like I’ve saw it somewhere before!)
