Welcome to this review of All Elite Wrestling: Double Or Nothing, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we lost Hana Kimura, Shad Gaspard and Larry Csonka. Shad and Larry have GoFundMe pages you can donate to here and here. When I was Pam Grier, my sweet, black ass always loved to watch half-naked people grab each other real hard and I’m doing that now as Double Or Nothing begins…now.
Match #1: Best Friends defeated Private Party
My Opinion: 3.4 out of 5 – This was a sparkly match. Sparkly is the word I’m sticking with…sparkly out the ass. While no Steiners/Road Warriors clash of maniacs frenzy, this was an encouraging sign for Aew’s tag division, as Pp did better than they have in the past, while the BFs line-danced their way to the win.
Match #2: Brian Cage defeated Darby Allin, Colt Cabana, Orange Cassidy,...

Welcome to the first National Wrestling Alliance: Powerrr review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I didn’t choose to name the damn show “Powerrr”. I think the extra “r” or two is there because of coke-lines or something. This show is a one-hour broadcast that is modeled on the old Jim Crockett TV format, so expect nostalgia lined with Punky Brewster hair-gel and Alf condoms, “because he can’t spend all day eating pussy…cat”. This isn’t always a show designed to offer great wrestling, but it does have some great production values and a very lively atmosphere. Let’s get to this time-warped trip through Billy Corgan’s bank account before he smashes my pumpkin.
Match #1: Aron Stevens defeated Sal Rinauro – Submission Challenge Match
My Opinion: 2.3 out of 5 – This went all of two minutes and was…A Squaaaaaaaaaaaash! No! No! Damn it!

Welcome to this week’s review of Impact Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have some nice matches to get to, so let’s go down to Emmett’s shop and fix Emmett. That’s a Charles Bronson/Andy Griffith/Simpsons joke. Okay, let’s dive right in to Impact and see if it lives up to the standard that it should be at.
Match #1: Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer & Sabu w/ Super Genie def. Moose & The North (Ethan Page & Josh Alexander) The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com:
Rvd hits Moose with his signature spinning heel kick in the early going. Rvd connects with Rolling Thunder as Sabu hits a springboard leg drop on Moose! Moose causes a distraction for the referee, allowing him to hit a low blow on Dreamer. Moose attempts Rolling Thunder of his own but Dreamer cuts him off...

A recently discovered WCW game from the Nes era has been digitally preserved.
That mysterious WCW game for the Nes that was never released how now been digitally uploaded by the Video Game History Foundation. While we're not sure if this game will be made available to the public at any point through an official means, this process does ensure that the game will be preserved in a more accessible and sustainable format.
The Video Game History Foundation have even gone so far as to add upload a video of their full playthrough of the game, which goes to show just how much work was done on this title before it was seemingly cancelled. This only adds to the mystery of why it was never officially completed and released.
This game was first discovered by a YouTuber known as Archon 1981 who uncovered the previously lost wrestling game...

Ring of Honor Television is in the books for another week. The company is building towards it’s 15th Anniversary Pay Per View event where the winner of the Decade of Excellence Tournament will face off against Ring of Honor World Champion Adam Cole. How did the show hold up this week?
The show opened with a great recap of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 11 show where Kyle O’Reily was defeated by Adam Cole from The Bullet Club, winning the Ring of Honor World Championship in the process.
One thing I love about Ring of Honor is the working relationships they have with other companies like New Japan Pro Wrestling and Cmll in Mexico. Ring of Honor is not a big company in the United States so to have their world championship competed on a stage that rivals Wrestlemania says a lot for what these partnerships can bring.

WWE Network
Unsurprisingly, Vince McMahon has a whole lot in common with Ted Turner, his self-selected nemesis during the nineties. Both McMahon and Turner took their father’s names and, later on in life, their businesses, and each man transformed that business from a success into a massive corporate leviathan.
Turner and McMahon clashed for the first time in the 1980s when the WWF was in the throes of trying to go national. McMahon bought a controlling interest in Georgia Championship Wrestling in 1984 specifically to gain access to their two hour Saturday evening timeslot on TBS, Turner’s cable network. That, plus his own USA Network deal, would have given him control over all nationally televised wrestling.
Unfortunately, McMahon reneged on a specific promise to air original programming, sending in shows culled from matches already shown in syndication (also known as repeats). The event, pivotal in the history of the era,...

WWE
February 2016 will mark two years since the launch of the WWE Network and while there’s no doubt been some great content produced for the online streaming service, they’ve only just scratched the surface on what they could do with it.
It would be easy to write an article on 10 Archive TV Shows or Promotions that we’d like to see more of on the Network, but with the recent addition of some Stampede, Uwf, Smoky Mountain and Jim Crockett stuff, it seems WWE are taking notice that fans are craving some of the older content they’ve either never seen or want to revisit.
In terms of original content, the live events from Tokyo and Msg were big hits on the Network, as have been the various Stone Cold Podcasts that took place after live Raw shows, but a lot of the other original content such as...

World Championship Wrestling has certainly earned its place in wrestling history. The company has provided fans with memories that will live on thanks to the WWE Network and it will always hold a place in the hearts of older wrestling fans.
However, for as much good as the company did, when WCW was bad, it was terrible. For every good idea the promotion seemed to have, they had five other terrible ideas.
From Jim Crockett to Jim Herd to Bill Watts to Vince Russo, every booker of WCW came up with gimmicks that could only be summarized in one word: Garbage. Many of them were silly, pointless, stupid, ridiculous, or insulting. To the wrestler performing the gimmick, it meant the possible end of his career.
Even though most people choose to remember WCW for the glory days of Nitro and the nWo, we thought it would be fun...

Blood.
The word alone adds a certain power to its circumstance. Deliberately opening one’s self up, otherwise known as ‘blading’ has been a staple of professional wrestling for decades now. Done to add story and drama to an intense battle between two hated rivals, blading is a child of the classic generation of pro wrestling, when protecting Kayfabe was everything. Anything to maintain the illusion that the battle in the ring was real.
The blood these men spilled was real.
In various times, blading has either been encouraged or outright banned depending on the image the given promotion was portraying. For example, in the late 1980s, blood was banned in the Jim Crockett hemmed WCW, a rule that cost Dusty Rhodes and booker Mike Graham their jobs when Dusty bladed in one particular match. Eric Bischoff’s attempts to pitch WCW to adult males in the mid 90s saw this rule revoked.

We are now one week away from the 29th edition of Wrestlemania – the biggest and grandest PPV in the history of the wrestling industry. For almost three decades Wrestlemania has been the scene of some of wrestling’s greatest feuds and most memorable moments. Stars have been made and careers etched in the annals of time. But as big as it has become the original Wrestlemania was far from being “The Grandest Stage of ‘em all” as it has become know. It wasn’t even given full national PPV exposure! Unbelievable when you think of how huge the event is today.
For those of you that are new to WWE or perhaps weren’t around when it all began What Culture show’s its age and goes back to 1985 to bring you a full run down of all 28 previous Wrestlemanias. If this doesn’t get you in the mood for...
