Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m writing this out of order, so I can say a bit about the numerous accusations of sexual misconduct (to put it very lightly) from wrestlers all over the world. Just because there are a plethora of deviants in wrestling, that doesn’t mean you have to quit wrestling or be ashamed to watch it, but it does mean that it’s gonna leave a bad taste in your mouth for a while. As many pigs as there are in wrestling, it would seem we also have many who are good people as well. Jordan Devlin may be a monster, but Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) seems to be a good man, by and large. Marty Scurll might be a scum-bag, but Jeff Hardy has a great reputation (his drug addiction...

So, if you’re a pro-wrestling dork like I am, and you like to entertain yourself from time to time with news, reviews, podcasts, discussions, quizzes, lists and debates from fans and wrestling personalities on the YouTube platform, then you’ll likely have your favourites. I do. So… at a time when consuming media, and YouTube in particular, is at an all time high, I thought it would be cool to highlight and talk about a handful of the best wrestling-based YouTube channels out there. Now… believe me, I’m not gonna list people I personally haven’t seen, and so I’ll likely miss some excellent channels out, but we can’t see ‘em all. Feel free to recommend us some.
Let’s go.

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I’m really getting tired of Tony Khan lying about what Aew is really going to be about! Well, I’m gonna give this show a fair review, no matter how offended I am by Tony’s ego. Okay, Dorothy Gale has a hot date with The Wizard Of Oz…she’s so off to see the…wiz.
Match #1: Adam Page & Kenny Omega vs. Kip Sabian w/Penelope Ford and Jimmy Havoc – Aew Tag Team Titles Match The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
“Sabian and Jimmy Havoc—I thought were fabulous last week,” said Jim Ross. “I feel like the idea of “Hangman” Adam Page and Kenny Omega not getting along is water under the bridge now,” added Schiavone. “At least they’re having cocktails together. They’re communicating to some degree,...

The Rings of M’fulche?! Every piece of art has been pilfered like a virgin’s sweet cherry! I’m going to smash Pandetti when I see that little Italian! Well, while I mourn the death of my Shangri-La, perhaps you’ll enjoy the buffet of semi-nudified flesh that leaps across the canvas. Oh! The f—— Pfhindala! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Match #1: Natural Nightmares (Dustin Rhodes & Qt Marshall) def. John Silver and Alex Reynolds
My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – I enjoyed this, with S&r really doing the big work here. It’s nice to see both of them getting to shine with ol’ Dustin and Qt. As matches go, this was meaty and mean, but never too showy.

I’m Nathan Favel and we have Chris Jericho in “The King Of The Universe!” See Chris on Rygell 7 with the three-boobed babes: “Move, you triple-jugged bitch-hussies!” See Chris battle the nitro-lizards of Zangularos: “Eat shit you atomo-balled psycho skanks!” See Chris fight Charlie Brown: Hey, blockhead, where’s that pumpkin-headed dip-shit Linus at? Hey cue-ball, shut your ass!” Chris Jericho…King Of The Universe! Aew starts now…you stupid idiot!

Match #1: Hikaru Shida def. Dani Jordyn
My Opinion: 3.1 out of 5 – I liked the way this cookie crumbled. The chocolate chips melted in many of the right spots and the batter never broke down to sugar soup like when Boo Berry was offed by Monsanto for pissing off the Corn-Holes. Shida and Dani meshed really well and knocked the snot out of each other.

All Elite Wrestling’s PPV schedule is more sporadic than WWE’s. When they did their last show, Aew Revolution, it was on Leap Day. It was a different time. The coronavirus was still in the “not that big deal” phase where delaying the new James Bond movie seemed like a silly, exaggerated response. The match of the night was Hangman Page and Kenny Omega vs. the Young Bucks and the aftermath was very open-ended as all four men and Cody were set to take on the Inner Circle in what was supposed to be Aew’s version of War Games.
Soon after, they did a show in Jacksonville with no audience due to Covid-19 concerns. Next thing you know, they’re at Qt Marshall’s training facility in Georgia for a month’s worth of tapings, featuring 1/3 of the Aew roster and a handful of indie wrestlers. The Young...

Welcome to this week’s review of All Elite Wrestling: Dark, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more matches on this show than ever before…but are they good? I love you…you bastard. It’s wrestling time!
Match #1: Colt Cabana defeated Shawn Dean
My Opinion: 2.9 out of 5 – This wasn’t bad, but it also felt like one of those old tune-up matches from back in the day and those just feel like a fast way to go real slow. Both guys looked good, but a little more time wouldn’t have hurt.
Match #2: Jurassic Express defeated Mike Reed & Ryan Rembrandt
My Opinion: 2.4 out of 5 – This wasn’t quite as exciting as I was expecting a match from the Je to be, but it wasn’t bad either.
Match #3: Private Party defeated Lee Johnson & Musa

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dark review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I look like that boy from “A Perfect World” once he puts that Casper costume on. This week, we’ve got a couple of matches that’ll make you go “I like penguins!” Hey, would you like a pair of flip flops? Well, too f—— bad…you get wrestling.
Match #1: Jimmy Havoc defeated Shawn Dean My Opinion: 2.8/5
This was way too short, but not bad for some-thing that was less than five minutes. Havoc is having a pretty good run lately, but I wish that the booking would let him past the point he’s being kept at. Dean did good and has a hand to hang on with, but Havoc had more than one hand for grabbing the brass ring up Dean’s ass. That didn’t make sense,...

Match #1: Darby Allin defeated Sammy Guevara – TNT Championship Tournament Quarter Final Match The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:
The winner will go on to face Cody in the second round. Sammy is on a three-match winning streak. “Has there been a bigger break-out star since the beginning of Dynamite eight months ago than Darby Allin?” pondered Jericho. As Darby made his way to the ring, Sammy jumped him, propelling himself over the top rope! “The match has not even started! The bell has not even sounded!” said Schiavone. Sammy whipped Darby into the steel barricade on the outside. “This was The Inner Circle’s plan, and Sammy followed through,...

The art of professional wrestling is one that requires so much more than skill. You must have a personality. The desire to see and be seen. You have to have talent and skill. You have to be willing to play the part. It’s like a multitude of jobs all rolled into one, and you have to be the right person to do the jobs the right way or it doesn’t even work. Jimmy Havoc is a man who can make it work. He’s been involved with the professional wrestling industry for years, and he’s good at what he does. He’s

Welcome to this week’s Aew: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we’ve got more phantom zone matches to get to, which is actually quite entertaining to me.

Just go watch the matches instead, you kook.
Match #1: Cody Rhodes defeated Jimmy Havoc The following is courtesy of allelitewrestling.com:

Match #1: Jimmy Havoc defeated Marko Stunt
My Opinion: 3.3 out of 5 – For all the talk of Stunt being too short to matter, he did damn well with Havoc, who got to show his wrestling ability for a change. These guys I really enjoyed this whole thing. The way these guys put a lot of power into each move gave this a grueling feel. There’s plenty of ground-and-pound, but the high-flying still found its way in, which isn’t a bad thing. Maybe we can see more of these guys in this context more often?

February 4th 2020 Match #1: Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Marko Stunt) defeated Sonny Kiss & Brandon Cutler
My Opinion: 3.3 out of 5 – This was a fun burst of action that had as many colors woven into it as a bowl of Fruit Loops at the Gay Pride Parade. Everybody worked well together and kept the pace up near where it always needed to be. This wasn’t long enough for my taste, but it was good enough for that same taste.
Match #2: Hikaru Shida defeated Mel
My Opinion: 1.6 out of 5 – You can just skip this s—. The wrestling didn’t get very far in quality and made me doubt what I’d do for a Klondike bar.

There were no issues of two guys struggling to find a rhythm or attempting to make the match look legitimate or any-thing like that.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Bugs and Daffy and Tweety and Taz and all your cartoon paaaaaaalllllsssss! Okay, we don’t have any of that, but we’ve got some wrestling. You like wrestling? How about some Major League Wrestling?
Match #1: Gringo Loco & Air Wolf defeated Kotto Brazil & Myron Reed The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Referee Frank Gastineau does the due diligence of checking Injustice for foreign objects and sure enough, finds a chain inside Kotto Brazil’s jumpsuit. While confiscating that, Oliver hands Kotto those familiar brass knuckles to Brazil, but Gastineau catches such transgressions in his peripherals to take those away as well. The pace and rhythm begin in Injustice’s favor but Gringo Loco hits a standing moonsault to shift the momentum. Air Wolf takes over up against...

Welcome to this review of All Elite Wrestling’s All Out, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have some big matches here, so let’s rip it and dip it and chip it and eat chocolate pudding. Oh no you didn’t! Okay, let’s go All Out! Did that joke work?
Match #1: Nyla Rose defeated Leva Bates, Faby Apache, Priscilla Kelly, Solandra Royale, Penelope Ford, Shazza McKenzie, Sadie Gibbs, Big Swole, Britt Baker, Tenille Dashwood, Bea Priestly, Brandi Rhodes, Awesome Kong, Allie, Nicole Savoy, Teal Piper, Odb, Jazz and Mercedes Martinez – Casino Battle Royale Match
My Opinion: 2.4 out of 5 – The closing stretch of this match made it fun to watch. I would’ve gone with Martinez as the winner, but Nyla will do fine, I think.
Match #2: Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) defeated Jack Evans and Angelico – Tag Team Match

Chris Jericho became the first Aew World Champion in history ...
Aew held its All Out pay-per-view on Saturday night from the Sears Center outside of Chicago, Ill. The main matches on the show featured Pac defeating Kenny Omega, the Luchs Brothers beating the Young Bucks and Chris Jericho beating Hangman Adam Page to become the first-ever Aew World Champion.
Here are full results from Saturday's show:
(1) So-Cal Uncensored def. Jurassic Express
The announce team did a nice job of pumping this as a big win for Scu, and I liked how they openly talked about how neither team had a win yet in Aew and this was a big match for both sides. The announcers also played up that it was Scu's experience, both in terms of overall years in the ring and as a team, that helped them get the win in the match. Jurassic Express stayed strong,...

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a few matches in here, like cookies in cereal box. It’s a cute joke. Okay, let’s dive right into this episode of Mlw: Fusion.
Match #1: Mance Warner defeated Ricky Martinez The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Salina started off this bout off by announcing her Sicario for his match-up against Mance. Martinez has had a lot to prove to Salina since he’s been in hot water after suffering some losses so he was sure to take advantage when the Bruiser from Bucksnort entered the ring. Martinez seized the opportunity to crotch Warner on the middle rope. Martinez continued his assault, but Mance showed his gusto by wanting more from his opponent. Martinez attempted to deliver on such, but all that was put to a...

Aew crowned its first champion tonight. Who held up the gold when the smoke cleared? We have the results.
With only a couple months until All Elite Wrestling starts airing on TNT, they’re gearing up for one of their bigger shows with Aew All Out. This is the one year anniversary follow-up to All In, the indie party PPV that Cody and the Young Bucks put together back in 2018. Since establishing Aew, the promotion did a huge introduction show in Double or Nothing, then two lesser shows in Fyter Fest and Fight for the Fallen. Now they’re building towards what will apparently be one of their four big annual PPVs.
One of the reasons why it's so big? We’ll finally have ourselves an Aew World Champion via this show.

Aew's next big pay-per-view will be August 31 in Chicago ...
The stage for All Out was set in stone Saturday night when Aew held its third show, Fight for the Fallen, which took place in Jacksonville, Fla.
The free show (here in the U.S.), which aired on B/R Live, was the perfect go-home sell job for Aew's next big $49.99 pay-per-view, All Out, which is set for next month in Chicago (on the anniversary of All In).
All Out will feature the crowning of the first Aew Champion, when Chris Jericho faces Hangman Page. The Young Bucks and the Lucha Brothers will clash in a ladder match for the Aaa Tag Team Championship. Kenny Omega faces Jon Moxley and Cody Rhodes vs. Shawn Spears also seems set for the show. On Saturday night, Aew also teased Awesome Kong vs. Aja Kong.

Welcome to this review of All Elite Wrestling’s Fight For The Fallen Pay Per View, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Aew has got another big card before All Out, so let’s see if they can keep their momentum going.
Match #1: Sonny Kiss beat Peter Avalon
This was a bit of a mess, but not a terrible one either. Kiss was the driving force behind this match, but Avalon didn’t exactly look lousy. The match was kind of odd, but it worked for what it was.
My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Shoko Nakajima & Bea Priestley beat Dr. Britt Baker & Riho
This was a fun tag match that was hot and cold as far as action, but when it got hot it burned.
My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 Match #3: Mjf, Sammy Guevara and Shawn Spears beat Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin and Joey Janela...

Welcome to this review of All Elite Wrestling’s Fyter Fest Pay Per View, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I hope this is good. What else needs to be said? Aew doesn’t need a blemish and can’t afford one.
Match #1: Best Friends defeated Private Party & Scu
This was pretty good. There was lots of action and it made enough sense to not make my head spin. I’ve got no real problems with any of this.
My Opinion: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Allie defeated Leva Bates
This was beyond bad. Just get the hell away from this. Allie tried but couldn’t make Bates a good wrestler.
My Opinion: 0 out of 5 Match #3: Michael Nakazawa defeated Alex Jebailey – Hardcore Match
This was pretty lousy, but not for a lack of trying. The idea behind this match just felt off the whole way through.

Welcome to this week’s review of Major League Wrestling: Fusion, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a wild main event to get to, so get your crazy pills out and get ready to go…crazy. That was supposed to be an Ozzy Osbourne reference, but it’s hard to do that line without screaming. Okay, let’s get in there and watch some Mlw.
Match #1: Richard Holliday versus Teddy Hart (No Contest)
My Opinion: 0 out of 5 – This was just an excuse to do one of those stolen title angles. Holliday stole the Mlw Middle-Weight Championship while Mjf jaw-jacked with Teddy Hart. Yeah, it’s as exciting as it sounds.
Match #2: Jordan Oliver beat Isaias Velazquez
My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – This was a good little match featuring two talented wrestlers. The action was easy to watch, like a lamb piloting a B-52 bomber.

Jon Moxley, the former Dean Ambrose, made his Aew in-ring debut against Joey Janela and it wasn't pretty. Here are the results!
As an all-new wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling has been hitting all the right notes right out the gate. Their prototype show All In made waves, but not nearly as much as their first real show Aew Double or Nothing. The event was both a critical and financial success. They’re a few months away from starting their weekly series on TNT. Their big August event All Out sold out in about fifteen minutes.
They’re going to attempt to keep that momentum going with Aew Fyter Fest. The gag story behind the show is that the Young Bucks had fellow Aew wrestler/executive Kenny Omega watch one of the Fyre Fest documentaries. Only halfway into the doc, Omega was blown away by the very...

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...

Welcome to this All Elite Wrestling event called Double Or Nothing. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a chance to witness history, right here on Nerdly. Unless the building explodes or something like that, then Aew will be delivering a major show that has drawn over 12,000 people to Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a big deal and changes everything in professional wrestling. Let’s stop pretending that this is just some T-Shirt company and take this for what it is. Okay, here comes Double Or Nothing. I know, this is pretty damn cool.
Match #1: Adam Page beat Mjf, Dustin Thomas, Sunny Daze, Brandon Cutler, Michael Nakazawa, Brian Pillman Jr., Isiah Kassidy, Joey Janela, Jimmy Havoc, Shawn Spears, Billy Gunn, Glacier, Jungle Boy, Ace Romero, Marq Quen, Sonny Kiss, Marko Stunt, Tommy Dreamer and Luchasaurus – Casino Battle Royale Match For An All Elite Wrestling World Title Shot

Wrestling fans everywhere have been on tenterhooks to find out which network, what channel, which cable/satellite provider would be the home for Aew in the Us… but none of us ever gave a thought to the UK; and That’S the first TV deal that Aew have announced!
Aew are partnering with World of Sport broadcaster ITV to air Double or Nothing on the ITV Box Office channel, with the Double or Nothing pre-show to air on ITV4 – presumably as a warm-up for UK fans still wondering if the PPV will be worth a buy (it will)… It’s huge Huge news for Aew and the UK wrestling scene. Perhaps this is payback for Vince McMahon basically plundering the World of Sport roster for Nxt:UK – we all know how petrified McMahon was when WoS returned, ramping up his plans for a UK-based WWE roster in the wake of the shows initial broadcast.

Match #1: Impact World Champion Johnny Impact def. Jake Crist, Dante, Pat Buck & Ace Austin – #1 Contenders Match for the X-Division Championship
My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This turned out just fine, but I wish that it…you know what I’m going to say…lasted longer. The spots looked excellent and the pace was swift, so it all moved along quite well.
Match #2: Team Lucha Underground def. Team Impact
My Opinion: 2.5 out of 5 – The action was a bit lame, but at least some very talented wrestlers got another shot at showing what they can do. In some ways, this might be the final time we see Lucha Underground in any facet, so there’s that, at least.

Match #1: Teddy Hart defeated Ace Austin – Major League Wrestling World Middleweight Championship Match The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
World Middleweight Champion Teddy Hart defended his title successfully vs. up-and-comer Ace Austin. In addition to a title defense, Hart earned a trip to the hospital. The Dynasty – Mjf, Richard Holliday and Alex Hammerstone – were partying at ringside during Hart’s match. Following the contest, Hart got into a verbal altercation with the trio. But then it became something more than verbal as Mjf hit Hart over the head with a champagne bottle.

Djz had the early advantage on the outside of the ring. But Reed is quickly becoming a master of the cutter. He nailed two in succession on Djz early in the match to get the momentum back.

Match #1: Joey Ryan defeated Richard Holliday The following is courtesy of Mlw.com:
“Most Marketable” Richard Holliday stepped in with the King of Sleaze Joey Ryan and the youngster held the early advantage, even going for his own version of the Garvin Stomp. Holliday later picked up a pair of near falls with a roll through and a neckbreaker. Holliday tried to put Ryan away with the Market Crash, but was thwarted. Ryan ended up scoring with a pump handle suplex that seemed to turn the tide. Ryan then went into his trunks for his trademark lollipop to set up Sweet Tooth Music.

Period 1 (5 minutes): Kotto Brazil vs. Fulton – Despite being a match in two rings, surrounded by a steel cage, this one started outside. Brazil flew through the door of the cage, driving Fulton back through the timekeeper’s table. While Brazil had the early advantage, Fulton’s size and strength eventually took over for much of the first period.
Period 2 (2 minutes): John Hennigan entered for his side and was able to give Brazil a bit of time to recover after nearly five minutes of beatdown from Fulton. Hennigan and Brazil were able to gain the...

Period 1 (5 minutes): Kotto Brazil vs. Fulton – Despite being a match in two rings, surrounded by a steel cage, this one started outside. Brazil flew through the door of the cage, driving Fulton back through the timekeeper’s table.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots to cover, so let’s do so.
Match #1: Jimmy Havoc beat Brody King The following is courtesy of Mlw.com:
Fans weren’t likely expecting an overly technical matchup in this week’s opening match. Not with the brawling bounty hunter Brody King matching up with Jimmy Havoc, the self-proclaimed King of the Death Match. While there was plenty of pure fighting and battling all over the arena, it was actually a technical wrestling move which secured the victory for Havoc. England’s Most Dangerous Man was still sporting a bandage on his left arm from a massive laceration in a grudge match with Lawlor a couple weeks back. That grueling bout with Lawlor seemed to affect Havoc throughout this matchup. King had the upper hand for much of the match.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this week, we have a special two hour event called Battle Riot, which featured the first World Middleweight Championship match and the first Battle Riot match. Let’s just jump right in.
Match #1: Kotto Brazil beat Myron Reed The following is courtesy of Mlw.com:
In our opening bout, Kotto Brazil was looking to pick up another victory after recently seeing a long Mlw losing streak come to an end. The two middleweights were looking to impress League officials, knowing their bout was going on right before the highly-anticipated World Middleweight Championship match. Brazil and Reed were very evenly matched. In fact, early on they were often caught utilizing the same maneuvers at the same time, including a nasty collision when both went for a flying cross body block.

Match #1: Kiki Roberts vs Kahuna Khan – Prospect Match The following is courtesy of Mlw.com:
Kodokushi Death Squad Wreaks Havoc. In our opening bout, Kiki Roberts was set to face off with Kahuna Khan in a prospect match… until both men saw red.

Yung took Khan out with a kendo stick and Zeda mauled at Roberts’ eyes. What are these two vicious women doing in Major League Wrestling?...

Welcome to the first Mlw: Fusion review here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I say we should get right to the action!
Match #1: Ariel Dominguez vs Jaye Skye
To my surprise, this match never got past the first second. Su Yung (Savannah Young) and Zeda Zhang ran out to obliterate the fighters before they could even make an offensive move against one another. This was probably not the best match to start this initial review out on, but it’s what we’ve got to work with. As long as they don’t do things like this too often, this angle could have a great effect on future fight cards. Needless to say, there was no winner in this match.
Verdict: Since there was no match, I can’t really rate it, can I?
Match #2: Sammy Guevara beat Fred Yehi
The idea here was that Sammy...
