Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation, the opening salvo in the Aew wrestling week. Once again we’ve got Paul Wight finally back on commentary this week where he is joined by Roh’s Ian Riccaboni. So let’s see what the show has to offer!
Match #1: Skye Blue def. Trish Adora
My Thoughts: Fan-favourite Skye Blue opens Elevation in a quasi-squash match against Trish Adora. Unfortunately both women didn’t quite gel and this one felt a lot more like the kind of “developmental” match Dark and Elevation are supposed to showcase. Which, if training wrestlers and giving them “TV time”, is what the show is about, is a good thing.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Brian Cage def. Tracy Williams
My Thoughts: Nice to see Brian Cage [finally] in another match on Aew programming. Interesting that, given he’s facing Wardlow for the title this week,...

Welcome to this review of Ring of Honor: Free Enterprise, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Marty Scurll’s big free show to help save the league from looking lame. There’s some great wrestlers here…and Bateman. F—— Bateman. Okay, I wanna get right to it.
Match #1: Mark Haskins defeated Alex Shelley The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
A back-and-forth battle between master technicians ended with Haskins forcing Shelley to submit to the Sharpshooter.
My Opinion: 3.8 out of 5 – This was some great stuff. The action was smooth, like fine tobacco. Smoke. Shelley and Haskins have a similar way of moving out in the ring that makes them mesh together really well. Smoke. Haskins got more out of beating Shelley than he did what’s his ass from Dudleyville. Smoke. Overall, this was a hell of an opener. Are You Smoking Yet?

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a couple from the Unauthorized show of a few weeks ago. We’ve got a decent one and a great one, which is less than the critics can say about The Rise Of Skywalker (they’re mad that Leia wasn’t revealed to be Darth Revan because it would have subverted expectations). Anyway, we have a show to get to.
Match #1: Dalton White Castle, Kenny Burger King (w/Amy Rose) and Burger Flip Gordon def. Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger (Beer City Bruiser) and Triple Cheeseburger (Brawler Milonas) – Colt Cabana’s Punderful Six-Man Tag Match The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Even though Gordon abandoned them during the match, Castle and King prevailed thanks to King rolling up Cheeseburger and pinning him while grabbing a handful of tights.
My Opinion:...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…Martha! Why did you say that name? We’ve got some matches here, like Amber Heard nailing that dolphin from the part of Aquaman t…whoops! Damn TalkTech. Okay, let’s get to it.
Match #1: Dak Draper defeated Ryan Nova The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Draper tried to hand Nova a participation medal before the match, which didn’t sit well with Nova, who immediately went on the offensive. Draper quickly overwhelmed Nova. Nova rallied with a flurry of kicks and a cross armbreaker, but Draper powered out and hit a power bomb. Draper finished off Nova with the Magnum Drop. Draper then presented the fallen Nova with the participation medal.
My Opinion: 2.7 out of 5 – Whatsa matta you? Catta gotcha tongue? That’s Italian for, “Welcome to my home.

Welcome to this review of Ring Of Honor: Unauthorized – Hanukkah Comes Early: Eight Crazy Matches, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I didn’t name the f—–g thing. Oy! Arbor Day is for losers. Who needs a planet when you can have a super-model for breakfast? My political leanings aside, this is a show that is (supposedly) run by Colt Cabana, so expect Jimmy Dean kissing a donkey.
Match #1: Ultimo Guerrero defeated Jonathan Gresham The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Joe Hendry joined Ian Riccaboni on commentary and proceeded to sing all of his comments. Guerrero pinned Gresham after the Cmll legend hit Guerrero Especial from the top rope.
My Opinion: 3.5 out of 5 – This was a fabulous match that had to endure Joe Hendry on commentary…singing! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Jesus f—k. Why would you have Hendry sing while Ian is doing commentary? Would you...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we’ve got a some wrestling here, so don’t fall asleep…or Freddy Kruger will get ya’! Then again, maybe not.
Match #1: Jeff Cobb, Kenny King, Josh Woods & Brian Johnson defeated Joe Hendry, Rhett Titus, Cheeseburger & Silas Young – Vegas Wild-Card Eight-Man Tag Team Match The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Both teams were selected by a random draw. After a flurry of high-impact moves from everyone, Cobb and Hendry faced off. They double-clotheslined each other in the ring, and then did the same outside the ring. In the end, Woods rolled up his tag partner Young to secure the victory for his team.
My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This went for a nice length of time and gave Brian a good showcase of his talents. Other than that, look for...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have two matches. That’s it. Roh TV is starting to piss me off. Who runs this damn thing? It’s Vince Russo, isn’t it? If he says bro I’m gonna lose it! Wait…I said bro! Ahhhhhhhh! Hold on, these are title matches. Maybe we have a chance?
Match #1: Kelly Klein beat Karissa Rivera – Women Of Honor World Title Match The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Klein dominated Rivera early, hitting a front-face Ddt and fallaway slam. Klein went for a second fallaway slam, but Rivera slipped out and landed a pump kick. Rivera followed with a spinebuster for a near fall. Klein recovered and hit K-Power for the win. After the match, Sumie Sakai came out and helped up Rivera. Sakai, who lost to Rivera...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Dalton Castle going full-tilt boogie on his minions for…I don’t know what. Hey, I don’t write their crap, just mine. Anyway, this should be a fun one, so let’s dance Nancy. Is that a lame joke? If I have to ask, it probably is.
Match #1: — Pj Black defeated Eli Isom (w/Cheeseburger and Ryan Nova) The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Black took control of the fast-paced match by targeting Isom’s upper body. Isom came back with a Death Valley Driver for a near fall. Isom went for a springboard move, but he slipped off the top rope and landed hard in the ring. Black hit a super hurricanrana followed by a springboard 450 for a near fall. Black finished off Isom with a moonsault into a double stomp.

Welcome to this week’s Ring of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have post-Final Battle, pre-Christmas “special” show, so let’s see what we get out of it.
Match #1: Twizted Sisterz (Holidead and Thunder Rosa) vs. Madison Rayne and Dr. Britt Baker The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Rayne and Baker demanded this match after they were attacked by Twizted Sisterz at Survival of the Fittest last month. The popular duo went on the offensive right from the opening bell, but Twizted Sisterz gained the advantage after isolating Rayne. Rayne eventually tagged in Baker, who hit a flurry of offense before Twizted Sisterz began double-teaming her. They landed a backbreaker, lung-blower and flat-liner in succession, followed by an assisted backflip that likely would’ve ended the match had Rayne not made the save at the last second. Later, all four women...

Welcome to this review of Ring of Honor’s Best in the World 2018 pay per view! I’m Nathan Favel and I say we don’t waste any time with pleasantries. Here comes the action!
Match #1: The Kingdom beat Los Ingornerbales de Japon – Ring of Honor Six-Man Titles Match
This was a solid opener with lots of action. Both teams looked good here, with Taven functioning very well as the leader of his team. Taven really has come a long way since he first arrived in Ring of Honor. Lidj is consistently entertaining and did not break that streak here. Taven got the pin off of Bushi for the win and the title retention.
Match #2: Flip Gordon versus Bully Ray
Ray disqualified himself after losing several attempts at finishing Gordon, who was ahouse of fire tonight. Several people, such as Eli Isom, Cheeseburger and Colt Cabana, who was on announcing duties tonight,...
