Aew Revolution 2024 was a hell of a show and it ended with the satisfying finale of Sting’s time in the ring. The final stretch of Sting’s career was a wonderful chance to set things right for the legendary wrestler, after the wrestling business had constantly let him down over the years. He was once the ace of WCW, but the incompetence and selfishness of others hurt his legacy in different ways at different promotions. But despite being in his 60s, his three years at Aew allowed him to go out on his own terms.
The Stinger is a beloved icon for a reason. While he did get wrapped up in such unfortunate things as the WCW mini-movies, the Shockmaster, the ill-fated Hulk Hogan match at Starrcade, and a really unfortunate PPV main event involving Jeff Hardy, Sting was still one of WCW’s great highlights and kicked a...

Ole Anderson, a legendary professional wrestler best known as a founding member of the popular Four Horsemen faction alongside Arn Anderson, Ric Flair, and Tully Blanchard, has died. He was 81. WWE confirmed Ole’s passing on Monday, first online and then on-air during Monday Night Raw, referring to the iconic grappler as a “prolific and decorated tag team wrestler.” A cause of death was not given. “A founding member of The Four Horsemen, Ole’s hard-nosed style and gruff demeanor helped define the group as one of the greatest stables in sports-entertainment history,” WWE shared in a statement. “Trained by WWE Hall of Famer Verne Gagne, Anderson was a prolific and decorated tag team wrestler, most famously alongside Arn Anderson in The Minnesota Wrecking Crew,” the statement continued. “When the duo then joined forces with Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, and manager J.J. Dillon, they established the iconic stable known as The Four Horsemen.

Welcome to this review of this past Monday’s episode of WWE Raw, right here on Nerdly. The build to Crown Jewel – which takes place this weekend – continues on this show, so let’s see what went down this week!
Match #1: Bianca Belair def. Nikki Cross The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
After Nikki Cross caused Bianca Belair to lose to Bayley last week, The Est got a piece of the new and vicious Cross, who was more vindictive and unpredictable than ever. Bayley tried to get involved and send Belair to a second straight loss, shoving Belair into the post. The attempt backfired, however, as Cross pushed Bayley to the floor, taking out Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky as well. Cross’ banishment of Damage Ctrl led to Belair planting Cross with the K.O.D. for the win. Following the match, Damage Ctrl put the boots to Belair,...

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 week’s Monday Night Raw review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Woody Allen creeps me out. Blagaingo! This is the final show before Starrcade. I love Starrcade. The 1980s are a sterling time in wrestling. You get the best matches from all corners of the National Wrestling Alliance. Greg Valentine, Roddy Piper, Nikita Koloff, Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Magnum Ta and Ric Flair are some of the biggest stars in wrestling. The Road Warriors and The Steiner Brothers battle The Midnight Express and The Rock N’ Roll Express for tag supremacy as Jim Cornette falls fat-ass first from a scaffold every week on TBS Superstation. We have MTV and steroids and f—ked-up hair-styles and Traci Lords (who is at least 18 for sure), all of which will last forever and never lose their luster. Cobra is the greatest movie ever made.

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.

Aew wrestler, co-founder and executive vice president Cody Rhodes lost his “Rhodes” for legal reasons when he left WWE. “The American Nightmare” has the rights back now but still won’t use his family’s adopted surname in the ring or on wrestling TV, he said on Thursday.
On other television shows, however, it’s a different story.
“I’m very happy about being Cody Rhodes again. The details of it all aren’t important other than it was a very positive, no-hard-feelings-on-either-side type scenario,” Cody said. “I will say though, it’s not something I probably will use in the wrestling space.”

During their entrance, the Bucks were ambushed by the minions from The Dark Order! “It’s all about the numbers,” said Jim Ross, as the Bucks were outmanned. The Dark Order used their symbiotic offense on Nick Jackson. “Mr. Brodie’s leadership is really paying off here,” noted Jim Ross. Matt tagged in and took out both members of the opposition with a double clothesline!

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and My Girl Bill better not do it with Jim Swafford or I’ll replace her with the Maytag mascot. We’ve got The Joker telling Anne Murraaaaaay that she can’t sing a lick, which is also how a lot of singers get record deals (think about it). Okay, we’ve got Warhorse and Steven Spielberg behind him for re-shoots, so let’s dive right into the fun…The Fun!!!!

Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Donald Trump is having people stolen away in the night, as they say. From what I’ve heard, this all has to do with the Black Lives Matter movement and wanting to silence those people that have been actively protesting the systemic racism in the U.S.A. Well, I guess Donald Trump wants to be Big Brother, because he’s a dumb son of a bitch. Well, as Donald Trump tries to ruin peoples’ lives, let’s take a look at some wrestling from the guy who thinks 1996 WWF is the same thing as “sports-like presentation”.

“This is the biggest night of Sonny’s career,” said Excalibur. Cody booted Sonny with a pump kick right at the bell! Cody tried to end it quickly with a Disaster Kick! Sonny kicked out at two and rolled to the outside while Arn gave Cody some tough coaching.

Following my list of the Ten Best WrestleMania Matches of the 1990s, I was sent down a rabbit-hole of watching every WrestleMania again and figured it might be cool to do the same for the 80s. Now, the 80s doesn’t have as many matches to choose from like the 90s did, and the 00s and 2010s will, but there’s still five WrestleMania events to dive into, so I thought it would be cool either way. Plus… there are some damn fine matches to be found in those first five Mania events. Sure… the workrate in many areas of the WWF during that time wasn’t as great as it would become, but there’s still plenty of iconic and entertaining matches, many featuring the same group of guys. So, here it is, my top ten of the best WrestleMania Matches of the 1980s.

Chris Jericho’s Inner Circle faction in Aew has a lot of similarities to the nWo in WCW. It’s headlined by a main-event level wrestler, who made the unforeseen jump to the new promotion, and Jericho, like Hogan in 1996, demands and expects to be treated like a god.
Much like how the nWo started — before it grew into an over-inflated group of egomaniacs — the Inner Circle has the star (Jericho), the tag team (Ortiz and Santana) the up-and-comer (Sammy Guevara) and the muscle (Jake Hager).
The group is also starting to take on some less-than-desirable nWo characteristics. Perhaps the most glaring is the silliness. Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic forced Aew and the rest of pro wrestling into shows without live audiences, Jericho’s group seems to be getting goofier and goofier.

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...

The crowd was firmly behind the Young Bucks, chanting for them. The Bucks showed off their tag team prowess with constant double maneuvers and quick tags. Mjf said the Bucks are phonies. “Where were they even trained? The Butcher and the Blade were trained by real greats like Les Thatcher and Josh Barnett!” The Butcher ran in like a locomotive off the rails and hit the Bucks with a double-clothesline. Nick gave a superkick to the Blade and then to the Butcher. The Bunny pulled Nick from the apron and the Butcher connected with a cross body block on the outside.

Aew's much-maligned group has taken on some serious Nwo undertones the last two weeks ...
The Dark Order has been a maligned group in Aew. From their debut over the summer to the ill-timed push the group has been receiving since Aew Dynamite debuted on TNT this past fall, every step for the Dark Order has been met with heavy criticism.
Not enough was done to build the characters. Formerly the Super Smash Brothers, no explanation was given to longtime wrestling fans on why the team had new personas. At the same time, to new Aew fans who maybe didn't see the Super Smash Brothers in Roh or the indie scene, little was done to introduce them or tell the audience their backstory.
They were this group of evil, who had followers in masks, and they existed merely to exist. One of Aew's biggest missteps since the launch...

King Corbin, Lord Of The Ring (WWE) – Baron Corbin cut a hell of a promo on any-one he thought doubted his ability to become the King Of The Ring. The man may not be a great wrestler, but he is getting mic skills like I can’t even believe.
Best Moment:
…And The Ground Shook… (All Elite Wrestling) – Arn Anderson gave Tully Blanchard a Spine-Buster so perfect it made the crowd erupt in praise. If Arn could still wrestle, he’d be in every marquee bout for the rest of the year, at least.

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.

You know… I don’t think many of today’s wrestling fans, the casual viewers anyway, realise just how f@cking good tag team wrestling can be.
It isn’t hard to find a good tag team match nowadays. I mean, all you have to do is watch an Nxt TakeOver Special and it’s likely you’ll see a blinding tag team encounter. If you popped over to Aew for their Double or Nothing event then you will have seen a couple of top notch ones too. New Japan presents them regularly, Nxt UK has shown us some great ones… they’re out there, if you look for them.

When the WWE fired WWE Hall of Fame legend Arn Anderson, there were many rumors circulating.

It was said that Arn was always looking out for the wrestlers and McMahon was always clashing with him over the way wrestlers were dealt with. According to a recent report by Wrestling Inc, it sounds like Anderson’s way of dealing with a wrestler was what led to his termination. Earlier reports indicated that something happened at a WWE house show and that is what led […]

Nxt: Takeover Toronto occurred Saturday night and man, what a show it was. Nxt on the WWE Network is one of the best wrestling shows out there and for good reason. Too often in wrestling today, companies want to over complicate things with over dramatic storylines that border, and often fall, into ludicrousness. Nxt strips back some of the nonsense that has become commonplace in wrestling today and brings it back to basics.
Match #1-Bobby Roode vs Tye Dillinger
Before the match even starts, we get Booby Roode’s entrance and man was it a trip. A choir is on stage singing his theme song. Was it silly? Yes. But it also played into the over confidence his character has. A perfect meld of song and performer.
Tye Dillinger comes out and his outfit made him look like an extra from the movie Barbarella. The jury is still out on his character.

After a pretty strong Dlc calendar post-release, the content window for WWE 2K16 is now sadly closed with the final package – the Hall Of Fame Showcase – now available to players. It’s a good way to crown the Dlc offering – particularly as it offers a lot more than the other Dlc packs released so far – and at $9.99 it’s not the worst value either.
The biggest selling point here is variety: there’s something for everyone. The matches included are Macho Man Randy Savage vs Jake The Snake Roberts, Rikishi vs The Rock, Alundra Blayze vs Paige, Larry Zbyszko and Arn Anderson vs Ricky The Dragon Steamboat and Dusty Rhodes, Tatsumi Fujinami vs Ric Flair, The Bushwhackers vs The Natural Disasters, and The Outsiders vs Harlem Heat.

The timing is right for WWE to bring back stable with a familiar name: The Four Horsemen. The name is synonymous with one of the most famous groups in the history of wrestling, right up there with the New World Order and D-Generation X.
What’s interesting about the Four Horsemen is that they were only in WCW and once WWE bought the company in 2001, they never created a stable with the Horsemen name. Why not now?

You don’t have to be a fan of WWE for too long before you notice that they tend to like their superstars to be larger than life. Some of them aren’t just large in attitude but also have the appearance of being huge monsters, often towering over other superstars and using their height and strength to dominate matches. With WWE: True Giants we take a look at some of the larger behemoths.
Featuring some superstars you would expect, and lacking a few that should really be there the main documentary is a good look at some of the wrestlers from the past and present that we’ve come to love (or love to hate). Some of them have been “faces” often others were “heels” but they still had their place in the history of the squared circle and have also many made their way into the Hall of Face.
