my thoughts from this weeks double Dynamite / Collision episode. #AEW #WrestleSky 🤼

Samoa Joe challenges Adam Page | You don't defeat Godzilla Like Godzilla or even the destroyer god itself, Samoa Joe doesn’t revel in carnage. He’s ambivalent towards it, because he’s a fundamental force of nature.

I believe Samoa Joe is the perfect professional wrestler. Here’s my case why.

I’m really proud of this piece. I hope you guys check it out and let me know what you think, though. #WrestleSky #AEW #WWE

The question every wrestling fan dreads | You know it's fake, right? I’m often asked what I do for a living. When I say that I’m a professional wrestling columnist, people stare at me in utter disbelief. They’re bewildered.

I’m lucky to call myself a wrestling columnist. I’ve always kept a day job though and I’m often asked what I “do for a living.” When I mention my column, people seem bewildered.

I think pro-wrestling has tragically become misunderstood. Here’s why:

AEW Dynamite 10.7.25 Match Ratings

It’s weirdly comforting to imagine that I’ve probably ran into someone from the internet

how long have you lived in Cville?

AEW 'Forbidden Door' Review: Solid show, with one exception The AEW and NJPW joint venture, “Forbidden Door,” is always one of the year’s most exciting shows — despite its lackluster build.

Here’s my full review of Forbidden Door. It wasn’t a perfect PPV by any means, but all in all, I was pretty impressed.

All of my match ratings are included, as well.

business as usual for the Hangman. the ace of the world doing ace shit. what a phenomenal match, making great use of MJF’s stipulations

****1/2

Toni Storm delivering yet another standout performance on PPV. Match of the night thus far.

****

Vintage Okada performance. Leave it to Strickland to conjure that out of him.

Wardlow’s return was crazy. What a faction.

***3/4

The tag team championship match was strange. The rules were unclear. The run in was stupid. The finish was flatter than a plate of piss.

**1/2

I loved how AEW honored the legacies of Marty Jones and Johnny Saint. What a tremendous ode to the history of English wrestling.

The Windy Man strikes again. TMDK

***3/4

Mercedes Moné escapes with her title intact. Awesome match.

***1/2

I love the angle, here. Three rising stars trying to grab the brass ring and beat a legend in Moné.

I forgot to tweet the Fletcher/Takahashi rating because of the fatal fourway entrances.

It’s so cool to see a women’s mid-card championship receive this kind of spectacle, from an American promotion.

Kyle Fletcher vs. Hiromu Takahashi fucked. That was a lot of fun

***1/2

I really dug their finishing move, but (Adam I Lost My) Edge (Copeland) and Christian (Cage) left a lot to be desired.

**3/4

I know this isn’t a hot take, but Bullet Club needs to die. They’re not just beating a dead horse anymore. They’re mutilating it.

We need a Women’s Blood & Guts match after Forbidden Door. Then, we need a Women’s Eliminator Tournament to take center stage. Multiple matches on Dynamite and Collision for multiple weeks, that can take this division in a new direction.

I just want Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander to be friends again. Is that so bad?

Oku and JetSpeed are every bit as fun as I thought they’d be. This is the kind of firework extravaganza, j-weight stuff that AEW fans love.

I really hope Ricochet circles back to Swerve Strickland in the near future, now that The Gates of Agony have joined him. They’re just another wrinkle in that feud, that would really make things interesting.

Uemura bleeds star power.
