Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features eight matches and takes us back to the typical Dark studio setting rather than coming from on the road… Anyway, on with the review.
Match #1: Britt Baker def. Billie Starkz
My Thoughts: This was a fantastic opening match, with Billie Starkz giving Britt Baker a decent run, almost getting the win with a super-close pinfall attempt. Starkz even made Baker bleed! Apparently this was filmed a while ago, which takes some of the momentum out of the finished product but still, I really enjoyed this one.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Dark Order def. Baliyan Akki, Marcus Kross & Vary Morales
My Thoughts: Dark Order versus enhancement talent… Oh, I wonder who;s going to win this one? And what do you know, it’s also a squash! Yes, this one weas another by-the-book Aew YouTube match for the Dark Order.

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features thirteen(!) matches… Yes, the match count is creeping up, something I’m not a fan of! Anyway, on with the review.
Match #1: Christopher Daniels def. Brian Pillman Jr.
My Thoughts: It’s great to see Christopher Daniels in action again, even if it is on Dark. This was a decent back and forth, with an outcome that was always in doubt (which is great to see!). Daniels hit the Bme for the crowd-pleasing finish.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Emi Sakura def. Jada Stone
My Thoughts: Jada Stone got one move in here, I’m not sure that even qualifies as a typical Aew quasi-squash Tbh. Not much wet on here, so not much more to say than that!
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Ryan Nemeth def. Dak Draper
My Thoughts: Who cares… It’s a Ryan Nemeth match.

It’s time for this week’s review of Aew: Dark, which emanates from Aew Universal and features a whopping 14 matches in just over an hour… So you know what that means. Squash-tastic action this week! We’ve got Taz and Excalibur on commentary so let’s get right to it.
Match #1: Jay Lethal def. Jd Drake
My Thoughts: This was a great opener with one of my personal faves Jd Drake holding his own against Jay Lethal. I know Drake isn’t going to win this but he gave one hell of a performance, making Lethal work for the win. One day Drake will get a solo win against one of Aew’s big-name stars.
My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: The Butcher & The Blade def. Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean
My Thoughts: The Butcher follows up his fantastic singles match last week with a total squash match on poor Carlie Bravo & Shawn Dean.

It’s Wednesday morning so you know what that means… It’s time for our review of this weeks Aew: Dark, which this week comes from Aew Universal in Orlando, Florida. Like the show itself, let’s get right into the action!
Match #1: Julia Hart def. Kelsey Heather
My Thoughts: Julia Hart continues her aggressive streak Again in this match, beating the hell out of her Kelsey Heather – an opponent who tried to trash talk too much and paid for it. Long may this streak continue as it’s certainly improved the presentation of Hart over the past few weeks. Hart ended the match with the same great-looking submission finish too!
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Powerhouse Hobbs def. Gus De La Vega
My Thoughts: Hobbs laid out Vega before the bell even rang and then pummeled him around the ring in a squash match… Literally! Hobbs squashed Vega against the ropes,...

Welcome to this weeks review of Impact Wrestling, which this week opens with a Before the Impact that saw Black Taurus defeat Raj Singh. With that out of the way let’s get right into the main show and this review!
Match #1: Digital Media Championship Match – Matt Cardona def. Jordynn Grace The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:
Jordynne Grace defends her Digital Media Title against the original champion of the world wide web, Matt Cardona! Both competitors shake hands to begin the match. Grace can’t take Cardona off his feet with a shoulder tackle so she changes her game plan and trips him up instead. Grace counters a neckbreaker but Cardona avoids the follow-up Vader Bomb out of the corner. Cardona takes control with a vertical suplex as Grace crashes into the turnbuckles. Cardona shows a lack of composure in his first intergender match but quickly refocuses.

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 week’s Major League Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have more great action from one of the most promising leagues around, so let’s see if Mlw has lived up to its potential.
Match #1: Rich Swann defeated Lance Anoa’i The following is courtesy of mlw.com:
Swann, who was suspended and fined by Mlw officials recently, was allowed to compete this week while his the appeal of his suspension was considered. Swann addressed the fans in a taped message moments before the match, thanking them. “I want to thank the Mlw faithful for supporting me, for being by my side, for walking step by step with Rich Swann,” Swann said. “You see, everybody knows that when the electricity flows, Rich Swann keeps the party going all night long. But I can only keep it going with you. Thank you so very much.

Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Mlw Fright Night to cover, as well as its gruesome main event. Let’s get to it… the movie “Brawl in Cell Block 99” was boring and cheesy.
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.
