Hello! I'm Dan. I'm 31 years old, and I've been a Pro Wrestling fan for 26 years. I grew up primarily on WWE, but I watch many promotions now - New Japan, ST...
This is for Okada's IWGP Heavyweight Championship. I'm posting this one today, because today is my birthday! So it's fitting to do a review of arguably the most famous wrestling match to ever happen on April 9th, my special day! In March of 2017, Katsuyori Shibata walked into the New Japan Cup finals, and left as that year’s tournament winner, besting Bad Luck Fale in the finals. From there, he…
This was a request brought to me by one of my buddies. I was shocked to find out he knew anything about FREEDOMS. When I went to find this match online, I asked him “is it the Scissors Death Match?” He said Yes, and if only I knew what I was in for. They exchange beers at first, and then hit each other in the head with the cans. Takeda dropkicks Kenji into the cheese graters on the ropes. He grabs…
Up front, I want to brag about how I watched this event for this review: I spent $85 on eBay to buy the original DVD version of this show, which is a rarity among wrestling fans. When it comes to legendary supercards, it doesn’t get any more historic than this one. Coming just days after the end of the Monday Night Wars, WWE had a lot of momentum going for them. On March 26th, the announcement was…
This is a Bloodline Rules Match for Roman’s Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. What a long and winding road it took to get to this point, arguably the most anticipated match in WWE in a very long time. At WrestleMania 39, the world was Cody Rhodes for the taking. He came in with all the momentum in the world, and he was ready to become the new top man in WWE. The crowd was fully invested in…
This is for Iyo’s WWE Women’s Championship. Beginning in 2022, Damage CTRL looked to be a dominant force in the WWE women’s division. Bayley, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai busted their ass together and looked to siege the mountain top together. However, in the absence of Dakota, and the addition of Asuka and Kairi Sane, something changed in Iyo, and the three began to talk about Bayley behind her back.…
This is for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship. Coming into this match, Gunther is the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, sitting at a very not demonic 666 days as champion. Zayn won a Gauntlet Match to earn this shot, and he looks to be the man to dethrone the Ring General. Backstage, Zayn greets his wife and son, as well as Chad Gable, who helped train him for this…
This is for Rhea’s WWE Women’s World Championship. This is a match that had been building slowly for nearly a year, thanks to some tense face offs between the two, but very little physical interaction. Rhea has been Women’s World Champ since WrestleMania 39, when she won the Smackdown Women’s Title from Charlotte Flair in a great match. Becky won the Elimination Chamber Match to earn this shot,…
At the 1993 Survivor Series, Bret and Owen Hart were apart of a Survivor Series Team in an Elimination Match that wound up victorious, despite Owen being the only man from the team to be eliminated. He didn’t take too kindly to this, and took his frustrations out on his brother Bret. After patching things up together during the holiday season, both men announced their intentions of going after the…
What's the most unique WrestleMania you've seen? Is it WrestleMania 2, which took place across three venues in one night? Or maybe it's WrestleMania 9, which was the first one to take place outdoors, and is also utter dogshit. Perhaps it's WrestleMania XIX, which took place at a baseball field instead of a major stadium. Or, maybe, it's the WrestleMania that took place with no fans? In 2020,…
This is for Roman’s Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. After making his triumphant return to WWE at WrestleMania 38, Cody Rhodes made it known that his long term goal was to win the WWE Championship, a title he’d not held himself, and one that his father, Dusty Rhodes, never held, either. After returning from injury and winning the 2023 Royal Rumble Match, Rhodes set his sights on Roman…
