Welcome to this review of Ring Of Honor’s/New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 SuperCard, which emanated from Madison Square Garden in one of the great moments of wrestling history. I’m Nathan Favel and right here on Nerdly, we have one of the biggest events in wrestling history to discuss, so let’s do so.
Match #1: The 30-Man Honor Rambo: Winner – Kenny King
My Opinion: 3 out of 5 – This was less about great wrestling and more about big surprises. The action was of a certain quality, which should neither condone nor condemn the match itself. In what may have set the precedent for the card, the Japanese wrestlers were the best thing here. Overall, this match got the crowd excited, which is just fine.
Match #2: Ring Of Honor World Television Champion Jeff Cobb (New Champion) defeated (New Japan Pro Wrestling) International Wrestling Grand Prix Never Open-Weight Champion...

Welcome to this edition of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have another good week to look at, so let’s strap on the boots and wonder what the hell I’m talking about.
Best Promo:
Miz’s Twilight Requiem (WWE) – The Miz spoke at length about every mistake he’s made in the WWE and why Shane McMahon’s betrayal felt like the ultimate turning point in his career. Also, I have no idea what the title means. It just sounded dumb enough to work.
Best Move:
Super-Kick (WWE) – Tony Nese and Cedric Alexander had a tremendous moment in the main event of 205 Live that saw both men super-kick each other at the same time.
Best Moment:
Life After Death (WWE) – When Tommaso Ciampa got injured, he was forced to relinquish the Nxt World Title. Triple H and the Nxt...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have some great wrestling on this card, so let’s see if Jordan Peele is gonna swap my body with a rabbit.
Match #1: The Briscoes and Silas Young defeated Shinobi Shadow Squad The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Anyone expecting the Briscoes and Young to steamroll 3S quickly found out that wasn’t going to be the case. The underdogs gained an early advantage with quick tags and a stick-and-move approach. Eventually, the Briscoes and Young isolated Cheeseburger. After Cheeseburger tagged Isom, Isom entered the ring with a head of steam and hit a Death Valley Driver on Jay Briscoe for a near fall. After Jay Briscoe recovered, he hit a Death Valley Driver of his own on Isom, and Mark Briscoe followed with Froggy Bow. The cover seemed merely a formality,...

Match #1: Zack Sabre Jr. defeated “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
Sabre was making his much-anticipated Roh debut, but anyone thinking he would have an easy time with Williams was mistaken.

He then applied the Texas Cloverleaf, but Sabre turned it into an inside cradle for a near fall. Williams answered with a hard clothesline for a near fall. Sabre landed a series of strikes and then applied his Hurrah submission move. Williams could not escape and had no choice but to tap out.
