[8.0] "I love total nonstop action wrestling. the hate it gets by a lot of elitist critics is stupid, impact in 2012-23 was such an underrated roster as well with mike Bailey etc and all the crossover ppvs they did with NJPW were always fun and awesome. they were definitely on wwe's level during there time in the dumps"

I'm not the biggest young bucks fan and I dislike tf outta moxleys current reign. besides that though all elite is so amazing as a promotion and easily a top 2-3 promotion for wrestling in the world rn ^^ Mjf is possibly my fav wrestler ever, and Takeshita as well. now they have two of my other fav wrestlers to ever step in the ring too, speedball mike and the walking weapon ^^ All elites future is very bright especially after revolution and the past dynamites we've seen (besides the main event of revolution.... lol) aew has put on some of the greatest matches ever since they started too."

[] "Sometimes it feels like two steps forward and one step back with NOAH, they have good talent and shows but you have to slog through a lot of bad to get to the good. I'd like to think it's regenerating although very slowly. At least audiences seem more engaged nowadays. Still one of my most watched promotions, Kitamiya, Kenoh, Kiyomiya, OZAWA, KENTA, Marufuji (on his day) among others make it worth the watch. As for its history... that's a different story. Easily a part of wrestling history what a legacy. The Mutoh retirement recaptures that old magic."

[8.0] "They put on a terrific show but still somehow manage to hold onto a small town vibe. Many talented wrestlers on the roster to put on a weekly show on YouTube plus several PPVs each year. The shows are mostly just wrestling and do not waste half the time just talking in the ring like the big budget shows on the major networks."

[10.0] "A EWF é uma das maiores forças do pro wrestling brasileiro. A empresa entrega eventos de alto nível, com lutas bem produzidas, talentos promissores e um respeito enorme pela arte do wrestling. O trabalho que eles fazem para elevar o cenário nacional é algo que merece reconhecimento. Os wrestlers da EWF são extremamente dedicados e mostram um nível técnico impressionante. Cada show traz combates intensos, histórias bem construídas e aquela atmosfera que faz o público se envolver de verdade. Além disso, a produção e a organização dos eventos mostram o compromisso da empresa em oferecer sempre o melhor para os fãs. Se tem uma companhia que representa o crescimento e a evolução do wrestling no Brasil, essa é a EWF. O futuro do pro wrestling nacional passa por eles."

[6.0] "Pro Wrestling NOAH at the moment seems to be stalling on the gas petal they had in 2023 and through some parts of 2024. They can manage to be a good promotion but they've made mistakes that turns away wrestling viewers and it's looked down upon as a promotion in general. 2025 so far for NOAH has been as expected. Decent but forgettable. They made some brain dead decisions throughout 2023-24 that made the company look stupid and drove away fans. I'm happy that OZAWA is leading the charge here. I wanna see what they do with him but in general, they need more of a focus. [***]"

[9.0] "AEW is a good company and for a time it was on top of the world! I remember watching Double or Nothing back in 2019 and it blew me away with the presentation, the roster, and the match quality! My only qualm with All Elite Wrestling is that it sometimes becomes hypocritical with what they preach. Reusing legends for big matches, a messy main event scene, and a slight change in the product from a gritty take on professional wrestling to something akin to mid-90s WCW. AEW is far from bad, but it needs to fix its issues."

Nothing beats the warm feeling of WrestleMania season as the company never fails in making historic moments! Sure there have been some slump years and controversies, but the product has gotten better with a new creative in charge! The roster is insanely talented and ever since 2022, every show has been enjoyable! Albeit with a few misses. WWE has a rich history and has a great presentation!"

[] "I have been watching puroresu for a few months now, and i gotta say, Dragongate was the first promotion i checked out, i am am nothing short of amazed, of course i know about NJPW, AJPW, NOAH, DDT, etc. But Dragongate is so good, from the speed and intensity of the matches to the fastastic events and tournaments, after years of watching it maybe my opinion would change, but it is really good and in my opinion japanese wrestling is way better than american wrestling."

[7.0] "Personally, I think the whole project is something interesting on the stage. But I would have a few comments. Maybe not to the founder herself, because Sareee herself does a great job as the main star and shows really great matches. But I think the booking of the rest of the matches could be a bit better. While the main events always deliver an unforgettable dose of emotions, I think the rest of the matches on the card still have room for development. However, please don't get me wrong, I think the level is high, which doesn't mean I'm completely sold. If the above-mentioned shortcoming is corrected, I will definitely correct my rating to a much higher one."

[6.0] "I think Guo Zhe start this promotion as a hardcore/violent promotion like CZW or BJW in China. Their opening show is nothing special. Cards in the first show feature a "Hardcore" match with Guo Zhe bleeding on the stage by 9527. Other match such as wang tao and He yinsheng's cards are boring. The triple threat match is similar to single match between Wang Junjie and Gong Yu. Kitty Zhang did several movements and that's it. Their second show "Battle at Yangcheng" has a better booking. The Slam vs Wang Tao in a flame match and Chen Wenbin+Cheng Da's tag match are ok. Big Sam vs Chen Wenbin is fine but nothing special. Adam Tang and Wang Junjie's rivalry is more interesting than all others even though the quality of the match is less than the three matches I mentioned. I don't know if Guo Zhe would like fully engage as a promotor or he would still wrestling under the name of "Vito" due to an unofficial Retirement. But for this promotion...... let's see how things goes in 2025"

[0.0] "A one and done. This concept could certainly have worked but its rather clear that this promotion was merely interested in turning a quick profit during the late 90s wrestling boom period. Clearly that did not happen. Poor organisation, poor decsion making and shoddy production make this promotion merely a footnote in wrestling history."

[6.0] "Going back and watching SWCW in the early 1980's. 1983: Tully Blanchard had a great heel run as SWCW Champion. The Sheephearders, Adrian Street and Adrian Adonis were excellent heels, they pushed Scott Casey as their big baby face, but he lacked the mic skills and storylines in comparison to other territory champions. Cool seeing a young Rock n' Roll Express and Al Perez."

[2.0] "1982: Wow this was the geriatric territory. They were pushing older stars in their 50's like Wilber Snyder, Bobo Brazil & Dick The Bruiser. It was very slow paced, very similar to WWF at the time. 1983: They started pushing young baby faces like Spike Huber and Steve Regal. They made a huge deal how fast Regal moved in the ring, but the truth is he just moved faster than the relics he was wrestling."

[9.0] "ever since I started watching AEW in the summer of '22 to the end of that year. in that small time period I was hooked and was in store for great matches and great feud's in the likes of Punk v. Mox, BCC V. JAS, and more. but I stopped watching the show cause I lost access to TBS and TNT. I came to watching AEW in late 2023 a month or 2 before the first C2. (that and the second C2 were masterclasses). even though the majority of the matches they put on are on my top favorite matches of all time, (looking at you Ospreay, Kyle, and Takeshita) the stories are lacking, I really want to see AEW succeed and return to they're former glory given all the great and awesome talent they have, but until they can get they're booking team and tony on the right track, AEW is gonna be my go to company if I want to watch banger matches. edit: coming off of revolution I think AEW is starting to pick up some steam, that MJF/Adam match was a great one, a lot of story put in the match itself and the previous promos they both put on prior their meeting in the ring were masterclasses, and don't get me started on the feuds, marks say that AEW lacks long term storytelling but just look at Kyle/Will, back in 2020-2024 they were in the same stable and close friends, now Kyle has turned on him and aligned himself with will's former manager, the Toni/May story is splendid, from bring Toni's number one fan to taking everything away from her to Toni beating Mariah for the title at grand slam, I haven't their match at revolution yet so I don't how that turned out, my point is, AEW for some odd reason has people hating on them as if they're a threat to their country and the main focus of the hate is towards the storytelling. i get that the main title picture is in a really weird place but AEW has more stories to offer than the "death riders". I feel like the company can only go up from this point starting on. lets hope for it, cheers and thank you for giving me your time to read all this."

[7.0] "1982: Enjoyable watching younger versions of Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid. Focused on smaller more athletic wrestlers. I didn't like the yellow card, red card stipulations, this isn't soccer. Wrestler of the Year: Dynamite Kidd. 1983: Wow a ladder match in 1983, between Bret Hart and Bad News Allen. Stampede was ahead of its time. Bret & Davey Boy Smith were so young. My first time getting to watch Bruce and Keith Hart wrestle. Wrestler of the Year: Bret Hart"

[8.0] "Going through old footage from the PNW in the early 1980's. Here is a yearly summary. 1982: Looks like it was filmed in a dark basement of a fraternity house, but the action was much better than some of the more prominent promotions. They tried so hard to push Brett Sawyer, for which as bad of a heel promo guy that his brother Buzz was, he is equally as bad as a baby face promo. Rip Oliver was a much more interesting character. Wrestler of the Year: Rip Oliver. 1983: Loved the Buddy Rose face turn storyline against Oliver's Clan. Literally the audience poured into the ring to celebrate the turn. Billy Jack Haynes was the total package, and one of the better baby faces in 1983 territory wrestling. Cool seeing a young Curt Hennig work as a face. The wrestling itself was similar to the speed of the CWA & WCCW, as opposed to the slow methodical matches in WWF, AWA, MACW & GCW. Wrestler of the Year: Buddy Rose"

[4.0] "The television tapings may be the smallest crowds to date. No enthusiasm. The larger shows look like a high school gymnasium. Very few solid performers outside of Ronnie Garvin, Crusher Broomfield and Randy Savage. 1982 Wrestler of the Year: Ronnie Garvin. There was an increase in the quality of the product from 1982 to 1983, by bringing in Terry Taylor and Eddie Gilbert to help bolster the roster. Randy Savage was on another level. 1983 Wrestler of the Year: Randy Savage."

[6.0] "Wish I could get my hands on more film from this territory. Strange seeing Hayes & Gordy feuding in early '82. 1983: The footage I've watched is low quality, but you can feel the crowd's excitement for the product. The big feud was between the Amstrongs and the Midnight Express. This was a different incarnation of the Express, which included Randy Rose, Ron Starr, and Wayne Ferris, in addition to Norvell Austin and Denis Condrey. Bob Armstrong smoking cigarettes while doing promos is wild. Austin Idol's work in both SECW and CWA in 1983 was fantastic. Wrestler of the Year: Austin Idol."

[9.0] "Really enjoying watching the CWA in the 1980's. Here is a yearly review. 1982: Instantly hooked with the Midnight Express. Good fued between Lawler & Dutch Mantel. Jimmy Hart was a natural, just so good. Young Morton, Gibson, Eaton & Lane. Pushing the Fabulous Ones and making vignettes you can tell they were appealing to a young audience. Wrestler of the Year: The Midnight Express 1983: This territory was ahead of most other territories in terms of using vignettes, and relying on storylines. In ring they used smaller athletic wrestlers who utilized their speed. The Fabulous Ones and Lawler were so over. Lawler was money on the mic. Year begins with Koko Ware turning face against the First Family, even posing as Stagger Lee similar to JYD in Mid-South. The Fabulous Ones win a feud with the Sheephearders forcing them to leave the territory, but then the Moondogs arrive to ignite a feud with them over the Southern Tag Titles. So cool seeing the origins of the Rock n' Roll Express. Unlike other territories that did not televise key matches that took place at house shows, CWA does a great job of showing footage of the important matches in order to keep the continuity of their storylines. Wrestler of the Year: Stan Lane"

[8.0] "Reviewing the CWF from the 1980's. 1982: After watching other promotions, the CWF focused more on speed and athleticism in the ring. You could see an attempt with storytelling, especially in the case of big baby face Dusty Rhodes. Interesting seeing David Von Erich work as a heel. Wrestler of the Year Dusty Rhodes 1983: We begin with Dusty Rhodes on a suspension, and he poses as the Midnight Rider, even winning titles, but having to relinquish them in order to conceal his identity. Great storytelling in this territory, Dusty was ahead of his time. The wrestling was grittier than some other promotions of the era. Gordon Solie was a consummate professional, Buddy Colt not so good on color commentary, but the role of Barbara Clary was another example of how CWF was a trailblazing promotion. Wrestler of the Year: Barry Windham"

[7.0] "Going back and watching footage from the 1980s, and here is a yearly review. 1982: Technical wrestling, almost felt like this and Mid-Atlantic were the same company, similar to a Raw & Smackdown. Wrestler of the Year: Tommy Rich. 1983: Unlike WCCW, there are just so many squash matches. All the mid-carders and main eventers just smashing jobbers. In comparison to WCCW, CWA & MSW, the storytelling was lacking, which is a shame considering the tremendous roster of talent. In the summer things improved with the introduction of new talent and putting wrestlers into feuds, and showing those matches on television. Buzz Sawyer awful promo guy, Larry Zabysko and Paul Ellering were excellent talkers. Wrestler of the Year: Larry Zabysko"

[9.0] "I love this promotion. They mostly do Sunday afternoon shows which I love to bring my kid to. The shows are family friendly but aren't necessarily for kids. They book a lot of the best talent in the Midwest. Great social media presence and the promoter is visible and easy to chat with. My only complaints is I wish they had tag titles and I wish their shows were a little longer so they could have occasional 15+ minute matches."

[7.0] "I enjoyed watching AWA in the late 80's as a kid, but now watching footage from their strong run in the early 1980s. Here is a yearly summary. 1974-1981: Liked seeing Dusty Rhodes as a heel, Larry Henning was a big dude. Bobby Heenan was fabulous. Liked the Ray Stevens face turn, and Jesse Ventura's heel work. 1982: Nick Bockwinkel was an outstanding showman. Not much storytelling. They pushed the High Flyers, and a young Hulk Hogan. Wrestler of the Year Nick Bockwinkel 1983: The crowds were popping for these wrestlers. Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura & Nick Bockwinkel were so entertaining. Jerry Blackwell was the unsung hero of the heel locker room. Aside from Hulk Hogan, they lacked baby face stars. Baron Von Rashke and Mad Dog Vuchon were the next tier faces. The fact that Vern Gagne booked himself in the main event of a PPV was laughable. Son Greg and Jim Brunzell were heavily pushed, but underwhelming compared to other fun baby face tag teams in other promotions at the time. Interesting seeing Wendy Richter work as a heel. Wrestler of the Year: Jesse Ventura"

[9.0] "I appreciate the history of the promotion, and how they care about their heritage, and the lineage of the industry. Going back and now watching footage of before I began watching in the mid-80's. Here is a yearly review. 1974-1981: If you like bear hugs, chinlocks, wrist locks & long collar & elbow tieups this is the wrestling for you. Bruno Sammartino & Dusty Rhodes were huge baby faces. Billy Graham was outstanding: great body, great charisma, great at selling, great showman. Bob Backlund so overrated. 1982: Not a whole lot of storytelling, just baby faces vs. heels. Fun to watch Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, Jimmy Snuka. Adding Gorilla Monsoon to commentary was a great addition. Wrestler of the Year: Jimmy Snuka 1983: Definitely larger audience than other promotions, but where are the promos & storylines? Power move, power move, rest hold routine over and over. I do appreciate the multiple cameras, and Gorilla Monsoon commentary. Great cast of heels: Wild Samoans, John Studd & Don Muraco, but they lacked quality baby faces after Andre and Jimmy Snuka. Bob Backlund was terrible on the mic and in the ring, can't believe they kept the title on him for so long. Rocky Johnson was severely underutilized. Wrestler of the Year: Rocky Johnson"

[8.0] "Loved watching JCP in the mid-late 1980's when I was a kid. Now going back and watching the earlier years. Here is a yearly summary. 1981/1982: Technical wrestling. Story revolved around Sgt. Slaughter as a heel, but finally got good with the arrival of Oliver Humperdink and his stable. Flair & Valentine destroy Piper turning him full face was outstanding. Flair is on a whole other level on promos. Wrestler of the Year: Ric Flair 1983: Way too many jobber matches, storylines were stale, pushed too many old wrestlers like the Briscoes & Dory Funk, should have pushed One Man Gang. Had 3 solid heel stables with Hart, Humperdink & Jones, but failed to write them into interesting storylines. Steamboat & Youngblood were ahead of the curve in the ring. Old timers couldn't keep pace with their speed and athleticism. When they switched to arena shows in the summer they seemed to pump some life into the product, on their march towards Starcade '83. Best storylines were Piper & Valentine, and Race/Orton/Slater vs. Flair. Wrestler of the Year: Ric Flair 1984: "Let me tell you something." Still way too many squash matches on TV. This territory invested its time in too many old timers: Ernie Ladd, the Briscoes, Dory Funk Jr., Angelo Mosca, Wahoo McDaniel, Rufus Jones & Jimmy Valiant. And when it comes time to push younger guys they chose Angelo Mosca Jr. who was God awful, and Brian Adias, who was a lower mid-card guy at best. Wow Summer of 1984, Ric Flair and Tully Blanchard have an angle. I never knew that, but it wasn't significant because Tully barely wrestled the first half of the year, as he was stuck on commentary. Nikita Koloff debuts! He is limited in the ring, but "my Gawd" what a physique and authentic character. They suddenly create a Six-Man Title, but no background, no tournament, not even any belts! Don Kernodle was not a good fit with the Russians, and I was glad they final turned on him. They waste time running an angle with Jimmy Valiant and the Assassin with a "taped fist match." Can't make this stuff up, and Paul Jones was such a let down compared to other great mouthpiece managers in other territories in 1984. Wahoo turns heel, and is absolutely atrocious on the mic. They push the Youngblood brothers, but they were underwhelming compared to other young tag teams in other territories in '84. Similarly they pushed Rufus Jones and Pez Whately, both of whom pale in comparison to JYD, Iceman Parsons and the PYT in other territories. They bring in the Long Riders, who are suddenly the Mid-Atlantic Tag Team champions, after the belts had been deactivated for well over a year. Bass was a believable heel, unlike Dick Slater who weirdly returns from a long absences and goes from the promotions top heel to a baby face, and it doesn't suit him. Towards the end of the year they begin ramping up for Starcade '84, and Dusty Rhodes arrives and is absolute pure entertainment in the ring, on the mic, and in storyline. Rhodes pumped life back into the territory. He was aided by the returns of Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat. Starcade '84 was not good. Only two matches worth watching, were the Rhodes-Flair main event, and the match of the night, which was Steamboat and Blanchard for the TV title. Wrestler of the Year: Dusty Rhodes"

[9.0] "Going back and watching Mid-South Wrestling. Here is a year-by-year review. 1982: The best storytelling of any promotion. JYD was so over. Ted DiBiase's heel turn was terrific. Orndorff's face turn was great. Skandar Akbar's Stable was a great ensemble of villians. Bob Watts terrible on commentary, makes everything about himself. Wrestler of the Year: Junkyard Dog 1983: We open the year with DiBiase forming the Rat Pack & trying to expose the JYD/Stagger Lee conspiracy. The Rat Pack implodes with Duggan turning face, and DiBiase joining Akbar's Stable. They over push Mr. Wrestling II, and under utilized King Kong Bundy. Magnum TA easily the Rookie of the Year in the NWA. Love the much needed addition of Jim Ross to commentary. Wrestler of the Year: Ted DiBiase 1984: As much as I absolutley loath Bill Watts on commentary, I do appreciate the multiple storylines to follow in his promotion. I didn't realize Volkoff sang the Soviet anthem in Mid-South prior to heading to WWF. The best ensemble of tag team talent of the era with the Midnight Express, Rock n' Roll Express, The Fantastics, and PYT. Hilarious how furious Watts was that JYD headed to WWF, and took shots at him on Mid-South TV & bringing in Master Gee as his Walmartesc replacement. Great collection of talent including Magnum TA, Butch Reed, Buddy Landel, Terry Taylor, Dr. Death, Hercules Hernandez & Adrian Street. Wrestler of the Year: Butch Reed TBC"

[9.0] "I absolutely loved World Class Championship Wrestling when I was a kid. Here is a yearly review. 1982: The Von Erichs were so over. Used a small roster, seeing a lot of the same wrestlers each week. Best Storyline was the Von Erichs vs. H&H Enterprises. Gary Hart was tremendous. Bundy turning heel to feud with the Von Erichs was great. Wrestler of the Year: David Von Erich 1983: Loved the Von Erich-Freebird Feud, the Freebirds were tremendous at selling to get a pop for the VE. They would interchange wrestler combinations to keep the rivalry fresh. Jimmy Garvin was fantastic, loved his work, his feuds with David Von Erich & Chris Adams, and the angle with Sunshine & Precious. Wrestler of the Year: Jimmy Garvin 1984: The year begins with the Freebird-Von Erich Feud, which takes a turn following the untimely death of David Von Erich. The fallout of David's death includes inserting Mike Von Erich into the feud to replace David, and Mike wasn't as bad as critics make him out to be. He wasn't David, but he wasn't a jobber. He was a solid mid-card worker. It all leads to the stadium show, where Kerry Von Erich wins the NWA World Title. The reign lasts just 18 days. During the summer we see Killer Khan working with the Freebirds, only to later join Devastation Inc. & feud with the Freebirds. Chris Adams and Jimmy Garvin continuing their feud with Adam's now having Stella Mae French to counter Precious. Gino Hernandez was a national treasure. He was one of the best heel performers in any promotion at the time. Jake Roberts has made tremendous strides in the last two years, and his World Class work is his best work yet. The most notable swerve, was Chris Adams turning heel on Kevin Von Erich & joined Gino, Snake & Baby Doll. Wrestler of the Year: Kerry Von Erich TBC"

[7.0] "New Japan Pro Wrestling at the moment seems to be finding it's footing ever since Okada, Ospreay, G.O.D., White all left the promotion within months of each other but that's not saying much in general because the footing seems shaky at the same time. They managed to have a pretty explosive start to 2025 which some good events and acclaimed matches. There's a list of issues NJPW presents at the moment but if you come to see good old fashioned great wrestling than go watch NJPW. I hope they can carry momentum throughout 2025 and not stall like they did through 2024. They seem to be going into a great direction with Goto winning the belt and Kidd becoming their rising star.

[8.0] "We are 3 months into the year so far and I can confidently say that AEW has had a pretty dang good start to 2025! In terms of wrestling, AEW nails it down to every single digit and if you want amazing professional wrestling on a weekly basis then you have to go watch AEW in general. Storylines are still pretty weak and still turn away the casual wrestling fans. The only highlights for me right now is Storm / May, Swerve / Ricochet, Hangman. The Deathriders storyline is cumbersome and hard to watch at this point and the fact that it's the main event angle really hurts the TV product. PPVs usually range from Okay to Great and they seem to be more focused lately on what they wanna be and how to treat Collision in general. Overall, I thought AEW might have a weaker 2025 but they've proven me wrong. Let's hope they can keep some momentum considering they had a HOT start this month! EDIT: A lot has been happening that has raised the product for me. There has been more of a focus lately and that can be felt on each show. Good matches, interesting stories and an upcoming PPV that will be hard to mess up. It seems like AEW has been slowly been creeping its way back to the glory it once had back in 2019-2022. They still make headscratching decisions that hold them back... [****1/4]"

[8.0] "We are 3 months into 2025 and I can say that WWE has had a hot start to the year that has been good but also has been a bit underwhelming for the high expectations they set via advertising. RAW has been the must-watch show for WWE right now ever since the move to Netflix with constantly good shows and big moments. NXT is decent right now but nothing too hot even with some big debuts and SmackDown has been on a streak of being pretty boring and in general hard to watch. PPVs have been hit or miss too but nothing incredible. The storylines have carried the bulk of WWE programming and have gotten more intense with things like Cena turning Heel, Seth vs. Punk and IYO winning the strap. Overall, Good start to 2025 and I'm excited to see what comes next [****]"

I went with my brother to a show (BZW VI) because his friend bailed and I was stoked from the beginning of the show. Since then I go to as much BZW show as I can. Crazy match-ups with high quality wrestling, great local talents, crowds are always on fire. You can see rising stars and confirmed veterans. They tend to forget they are a Belgian federation which is disappointing for us Belgian fans but hey, I guess France sell better internationally."

If I were to rate it in a vacuum right at this moment with the destruction of Papa H's NXT, the bad booking that means nothing over the long term, and the waste of the best roster ever assembled, i am giving it a 5. The great matches are great, but when your booking is based around churning out content, the good matches are unfortunately drowned out by the cacophony of recaps, cookie cutter Raws, and reminders of what hashtags to use. Given the history and the unbelievable success as a brand and the amount of joy it previously brought me, it easily gets a 5. I hope it turns around soon. Edit 3/2023: much much improved. Definitely upped their game and the right players are getting TV time and they're developing a great new batch of talent. Stories make more sense and have a better build. I'm really happy to see stuff is turning around. 7 easy. Edit 1/2024 WWE will wind up the global property that McMahon was shooting for. HHH is such a great replacement for Vince. I don't love that they are just going to go back to amassing all the talent. Their pockets are deeper than anyone's and will continue to be the preferred destination for everyone that gets into the biz. Edit 2025.01.10: still the hottest brand. But we're exactly back to the death of the territories where WWE just gobbles up all the talent. They go to WWE score a big win and then fall into the abyss of massive talent and flounder without direction. Edit 3/2/2025: the jingoistic bullshit needs to end. Don't like people booing the anthem? Don't play the shitty song and stop supporting a guy that wants to isolate us from the world outside of NK and Russia.

The extremely stripped back and grounded presentation coupled with that philosophy of 'make it look real, but still exciting' creates something extremely fun to watch and completely enthralling. They did kind of lose that and fall into some more gimmicky stuff like the NJPW invasion in their later years, but for the most part the presentation stayed strong.

There are a few issues though, namely that I feel like it falls into the pitfalls of in some ways lacking a distinct identity and that it feels like Tony Khan has issues with saying no to people, particularly when those people are AEW Originals.

It's also a rare Japanese promotion that had a women's division and a men's division, which adds to the variety on offer. I typically don't like deathmatches but I love what FMW did, good wrestling and storytelling in the confines of a deathmatch, something some modern wrestlers could learn from, and FMW very rarely took things too far for my taste. Being fair, FMW was inconsistent, the smaller shows weren't always great and some of the matches were very standard, never bad but just nothing exciting, Hayabusa as a wrestler encapsulates FMW, sometimes exceptional, other times he'd deliver standard Japanese style matches. Ultimately, FMW was a very special promotion that influenced the entire world of pro wrestling, ECW and by extension WWF and WCW took major inspiration from FMW and IWA-Japan."

[] "There are many styles of pro wrestling, the two most hated would be the death match / backyard style and that of the WWE. It has been this way since at least 2008 however prior to this before the advent of backyard wrestling, WWF was considered by many to be a sub par wrestling promotion ashuing storied fights for storied conversations (promos). Has a reputation for wasting non American talent and for using racism in its televised soap opera storylines and held back woman's wrestling for decades insisting it's only place was as a 'soft core tintalising extra' for young men. Has dominated the professional wrestling scene through unethical business practices and has changed to American perception of what professional wrestling is to suit the style of the WWEs brand of sports entertainment which has lead to deminishing interest in the independent style of professional wrestling that traditionally created the 'supetstars' the WWE portrayed on its sports entertainment programming which lead to the WWE needing to rely heavily on in house produced talent and former mid level sports stars to full the roles it portrays on television which has lead to a systemic decline in professional wrestling quality within the WWE and a distinct lack of opportunity to tell stories through fights instead placing emphasis on soap opera drama to add levity to the matches. With this decline in professional wrestling attributes within WWE programming has come the rise in popularity for the WWE and a rise in profitability and global awareness and global viewership for the WWE and its sports entertainers. WWE is not only unequivocally the most successfully sports entertainment brand in the world it is seen as the largest wrestling promotion as they routinely display low level sequential wrestling matches that run in sync with the stories told through soap opera segments and promos, this wrestling is of an extremely basic and child friendly manor so that it can be enjoyed casually by the broadest audience without the viewer needing to provide more than a cursory amount of attention. It is this style of wrestling the causes WWE to receive much negative online interactions. And it is WWEs style of production and grandure that seemingly motivates it's supporters to negatively interact with wrestling through the IWC. Both these later comments refer to the 'team nature' marketing and relationship with it's fan base of the WWE in 2025 which has had the effect of bringing about a tribalistic rivalry like between sporting teams in order to earn profit and market dominance and this has dominated the wrestling world since it's inception."

[8.0] "Definitely one of the best promotions going right now, but an all-timer? No, definitely not. It still has a long way to go to prove itself to me. These are very well worked, booked and promoted house shows basically, so for it to be an all-timer promotion it's going to have to take that next step up."

[0.0] "Imagine you had a device that could turn a human being into a wrestling promotion. If you were to stick Andrew Tate into that device, PPP Tokyo is what would be the result of that, their most known wrestler groomed a 16 year old fan, the women in the promotion are treated as nothing more then sex objects, they decide to play club music while the match is going on which is super annoying and none of the wrestlers actually try in this promotion, so your matches consistent of either really bad comedy or are the most bland, basic and bog standard stuff that you could watch at a show at your local gym. Oh by the way, it's funded by the porn industry in japan, so in short, don't give a single cent to this promotion and literally just choose any other company to watch, you won't be missing out on anything."

It's the storylines that were truly awful. Since then it has been very hit or miss and the fans bending the knee because WWE is now involved have selective bias for sure."

[7.0] "This is a go to comfort watch. Not just for wrestling, but anything in general. It's so much fun and so simple, and I mean simple in the best possible way. Every episode is entertaining in some capacity and there were a lot of stars who came through. Regardless of my opinion on Jim Cornette overall (it's not high), the way he presented and ran this promotion should be commended. He gave a particular demographic what they wanted. Even by the early 90's wrestling was turning a corner with its stories but SMW kept it simple. A lot of matches aren't going to blow you away but they weren't meant to."

[6.0] "AEW's first years are simply fantastic, now nothing is bad (except the Tag Team division, by Jeff Jarrett), quite the opposite, it's fine but not as well as before. But there are some problems, but the most obvious to me is the following, AEW occupies Wrestlers de ROH, occupies his champions, his Wrestlers and even his shows. But what does Roh get? Exact nothing. AEW extracts everything from Roh making it poor in quality and consumption. Although to be honest this is ROH's problem, not AEW. But from there another problem comes out, the overpopulation of the roster, to put it in simple words, there is too much talent in AEW, and obvious you cannot have everyone working at the same time, and that is why Wrestlers are wasted. This is easy to solve but difficult to perform. Now AEW's most serious problem is Tony Khan, Tony has proven to be a child; that makes children's decisions; That makes children's tantrums, really, I can't appreciate Tony because he doesn't know how to be a fair boss, every Wrestler is his own Booker. This is not lost, it can still be lifted."

[8.0] "ECW was very good, with good matches, stories and wrestlers. ECW's appeal was very attractive. The Extreme Matches was a little seen in the USA (because in Japan this idea was already used from before) and if they knew how to bring this idea to execution. Although the last years of the ECW are the most remembered because there they had the best roster in its history. The right time lasted, it fell in bankruptcy at its best time in content but in the worst economically. Extremely legendary all the legacy of the ECW."
