[6.0] "I really like Tyris, because now I can go to Valencia, near my house, to see some wrestling event, it is a pride for me what he is achieving in this last year. I look forward to continue doing more events."

[8.0] "they are good But many of Bookingie's mistakes are mixed with many good things, and this has taken a little pleasure from me as a viewer. I don't know if this will be fixed after several years. But for now, I think the score of 8 is quite appropriate."

[10.0] "In all the different eras and phases of wrestling. In an industry where many names, both wrestlers and companies, come and go. WWE has always been present and has always been at the top of this sport. So I think it deserves a score of 10."

[7.0] "This promotion has a rich history and has contributed a lot to the formation of modern wrestling as we know it and a lot of our favorite talents come from TNA. However, a combination of bad decision and bad luck led to their fall from glory somewhere in late 2000s and early 2010s. Fortunately, now they are getting a grip on the promotion and they have started to revitalize a few things and I'm looking forward to more good things happening them."

[2.0] "Oh boy. This show was pretty bad. And I liked GLOW, POWW and WOW. Tried hard to look hip and cool, and failed badly. The skits were dire and outdated, in fact some were recycled from GLOW. For that matter, most of the gimmicks were too, from GLOW and Johnny C and Steve Blance's other DOA effort, CRUSH. Then there were the long segments of some of wrestlers frolicking on the beach in bikinis. They looked good, but somehow, they made it boring with the slow mo video footage. Then finally, there was the wrestling. It was okay. More so from the more seasoned girls but the newer green girls tried too. Usually just one or occasionally 2 matches. But it wasn't worth it to watch the show. Not surprisingly, it only lasted one 13-episode season, I hope they were paid well, at least, for this. Maybe not the worst all-women's wrestling fed, but close. The porny ones probably take that dubious honor."

[0.0] "Absolutely abhorrent and morally reprehensible company, that should not be touched with kid's gloves anymore. Even if you can see past their inhumanly gross behaviour, all the rape and sex trafficking, firing hundreds of workers while raking in record profits, and dealings with Saudi Arabia, the product just remains god awful. Between the worst production imaginable, complete colour oversaturation and seizure inducing editing, unlistenable commentary, unbelievably awfully scripted promo verbiage, high school play level acting and the most boring formulaic matches imaginable, this company is the worst thing that ever happened to wrestling. They never wanted to be wrestling or be called wrestling and I think it's time for wrestling fans to fulfill their wishes and be done with them. It's sad in some ways, as there are still very talented wrestlers working there."

[10.0] "A lot of talents, a lot of emotions, best promotion in the World ! I've been totally addicted since I discovered it, to the point where my movie consumption has plummeted!"

[] "I would like everyone to know that "RF" is no longer affiliated with Battleground Championship Wrestling. While I have been the owner of the company from the start, I can see the confusion and have heard the concerns. I will be making a public statement on this matter as well. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me on social media. -Timothy Embler"

[6.0] "Still my favourite promotion of all time but the feeling has kinda soured over the past few years. Wrestle Kingdom and the New Beginning tour have been a very promising start to the year and I hope they're able to reach their past heights despite the departures of Ospreay and Okada"

[10.0] "Trying to rate an entire promotion is nuts because you have to look at the past and the things the promotion has achieved as a a whole and you also have to look forward and ask if the promotion can project itself into the future. As for the past. AEW will be considered historical in wrestling for changing the American PW landscape. From the early moments of Mox's debut to the recent Sting retirement matches - AEW has delivered a rock solid reason to watch TV on a Wednesday (and Saturday) night. While some people complain - I think the company gets FAR more hate than it deserves. Tony Kahn has opened up a huge network of wrestling in America which actually has caused other companies to take serious notice. AEW over the years has become a fusion of some of THE best guys in the business. Business has stabilized but AEW has started major traditions like Wembley and Arthur Ashe. While AEW deals with major social media backlash still from last years All In and other events, Tony Kahn continues to deliver a great week by week product with new surprises again and again (Who guessed Samoa Joe would be AEW KING). As far as the future goes, this is ridiculous my boy. We are talking about Ospreay and Okada and Mone and Takeshita and Cole and SWERVE and Hangman and Darby and Omega and Mox and yeah the list goes on. This is probably the best wrestling roster ever. So that's me in '24 and I give them a 10 for completely mindshifting the entire pro wrestling landscape. If I come back in 10 years and everything goes bad I'll change me rating."

[5.0] "AEW used to be a world class wrestling company but now it's sinking downhill a lot more faster than WCW did in 1998 to 2001 as Tony Khan announces the lineups of his shows way too much before they go on air Live and he's too delusional now to look at where he's going wrong and how he could improve his own product. For me the issues with the company aren't the talent, it's mainly Tony Khan putting his head in the sand and not caring about his own fans like he used too when AEW started. Tony Khan puts on shows extremely frequently in bigger venues which don't even sell out these days and have shocking attendances, while viewers and ratings are dropping each week because of his own questionable bookings and decisions that's already dampening the reputation of himself, his talent and most importantly AEW. The women's division of AEW needs a gigantic improvement as it's never been taken seriously enough from the offset. If he wants AEW's ratings on CageMatch to improve then Tony needs to look seriously in the mirror as if he doesn't, his company will keep declining as AEW used to be a 10/10 and I was watching the shows every week while looking forward to PPVs. I don't even feel that same buzz and excitement anymore because of Tony Khan's questionable bookings and decisions"

[8.0] "I believe this promotion has rejuvenated the business in a lot of ways, they have a great roster, good matches and amazing ppvs. However, they do make some questionable bookings that can damage the company's reputation and credibility along with the backstage and twitter scandals. All in all, they are such a breath of fresh air specially in north America and their existence can benefit all, particularly the wrestlers and the fans."

[9.0] "The in-ring action you see in this organization is second to none and they have set the bar high. However, one might argue that they lack the story telling and the entertainment factor that is desired by the more mainstream audience, but I believe that's not the kind of pro wrestling that New Japan is supposed to deliver, I think the Japanese strong style, in its entirety, is best represented by Tanahashi's promotion."

[] "Started watching them in 2008 but it's been on and off for a few years now. I don't really know why but I continue to have a soft spot for this company. I was a straight up a mark for them during what's considered one of their worst periods - the Hogan and Bischoff era. Of course, I can look back and see how bad a time that was from the onscreen product and definitely the backstage crap that was going on. Defended them way more than I should've. They're a solid promotion who has had better days. Hope they will improve and become a viable option for many wrestlers because they're currently in a position where it feels like a "this is where wrestlers go when they have no other big options" type of promotion."

[] "[9.0] GLEAT is an entertaining watch every time I get the opportunity to watch an episode. Im not going to say it is the best promotion out there but enjoy what I see and that is all that matters at the end of the day."

[9.0] "What AEW is right now, and what it has been in the past, is almost exclusively what I've always wanted from wrestling. The past few months (September to November '23 to be exact) were absolutely dreadful, but the comeback has been immense from December to now, to the point where I'm actually going to a show of theirs in July."

[6.0] "I'm definitely interested to see how they do after Rossy's departure and a few roster departures in May. The only Japanese promotion to actually GROW during the pandemic, they fell hard from 2022 to 2023, and the booking, business, and busy-ness decisions of Bushiroad have been confusing to say the least. Still the home of a lot of the best joshi around, but certainly at a lower point than they were in 2021/2022."

[] "Rating too low for this company that has so much to do with wrestling and deserves much more respect on this website I think"

[0.0] "The pedo fed. Anyone who knowingly takes bookings from Rob Feinstein should be ashamed of themselves."

[] "Best show in Canada for over a decade now! If you know you know! Hard to believe such a consistent show has flown under some people radar... everyone you can think of from the last 15 years that became someone from the indys has been thru C4 Ottawa. They seem to have a great eye to get whoever is months or weeks away from breaking out..... Roster is always stacked and a great mix of levels and local & guest balanced..... Just watch it! oh and Dr Bob (the commentator) should most def announce more places !"

[0.0] "People have almost died multiple times in this company, and I feel like none of those incidents are brought up enough in a world where people are not too shy to constantly bring up the ECW Mass Transit incident (hey, the guy involved in that is involved in one of those incidents here that I'm talking about! What a wooooorld! ). I don't have a problem with deathmatches, and yes, I mean REAL deathmatches that respect the niche. XPW is full of just straight up nonsense and egregious spots that are only violent or gross, and make no sense in the world of wrestling. But, I am not the least bit surprised considering who the owner is."

[6.0] "I watch the Big 5 with my partner (MITB should absolutely be included with the Big 4), and occasionally will check out other "PLEs" if a card gains A LOT of traction. That said... This company has singlehandedly done the most to both help and harm the world of pro wrestling. "Eh! But see, this is 'sports entertainment! '" I get that. And usually, I am very "sports entertained". But the fact that you can't talk to someone about wrestling, without there always being a comparison to this company (Attitude Era made the most money, Hogan in the 80s is the biggest ever, Vince is a GOD, blah blah blah) shows exactly what is currently wrong with wrestling fandom. Also, let's look at their partners in TKO Holdings aka UFC/Endeavor. UFC own PowerSlap! , a slap fighting promotion. Does that inherently give UFC additional credibility, because they have the most money and most TV exposure for an EXTREMELY niche "sport"? No, it does not. "You're a nobody unless you wrestle here! ", a direct quote from fans who have no idea that people like Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson and countless others did their best work outside of the company. The spectacle is awesome, don't get me wrong. But their programming is super formulaic (RAW is 3 hours, with usually 4 matches on average, and the rest is all advertising or promos), they listen to the dollar bill too often which leads them to frequently shoot themselves in the foot and stumbling into something that they claim was always the plan (lookin' at you, recent Cody/Roman/Rock stuff), and iffy at best partnerships with governments of countries with less than ideal public standing hurts this company A LOT in not only my eyes, but the eyes of many other people who enjoy this business. Not to mention, that the egomaniac who went out of his way to make this company into what it is, is and always has been a certified creep and a backstabbing businessman, leaving a trail of broken people, families, and former companies offering many employment, in his wake."

[7.0] "Although Kyushu pro is light on storylines it is still a good promotion to follow. It has a solid roster of local talent who are all great workers including Tajiri, Mentai Kid and Naoki Sakurajima. Every match is an easy watch and always of a professional standard. Great production and decent crowds too."

[10.0] "This promotion has consistently been my favourite since 2017, amazing roster of talent that never seems to weaken even when their top stars leave or retire.New talent are signed or brought in as rookies that hit the ground running. The best womens promotion in the business without question, but now with Rossy gone and several of the talent likely to follow him. It's a really uncertain time for Stardom. I just hope the roster is ok and will thrive"

[7.0] "I love TNA. And it's currently my favorite mainstream North American promotion. No satire here. I *adore* TNA, and have converted my partner to the same mindset during their 6 years of watching pro wrestling as a whole. The best booked North American women's division (and it is NOT close, coming from someone who watches Japanese wrestling more than anything else), a stacked roster, some of the most beautiful Championship belts in the business as a whole, fun promotion-exclusive match stipulations, and a stroke of genius in rebranding back to TNA and going all in on themselves and their former identity. Yet, I only rate them a 7 as of today. I am not sure that there is a wrestling company today that has continued to have success (whether you like it or not) on the scale that they do, while simultaneously almost always shooting themselves in the foot... then the d***... then breaking all of their own fingers. When it's good, you go "wow... people should put some respect on TNA... look at these matches, look at this roster"... Then the inevitable happens and we all once again just collectively sigh and go "oh... there it is." Top this with today's climate of them forcing Scott D'Amore out of the company because he felt that there needed to be a shift in procedure to maintain their momentum, and you have a cocktail of everything TNA embodies, thus making those of us who stick around feel unseen, sad, and unfulfilled."

[5.0] "XWF was an interesting inbetweener promotion that came around during the falling of WCW. I watched the lost episodes DVD and there was a lot of potential in this company. The roster had multiple big names including Mr.Perfect and Jerry Lawler. I wonder why they didn't have any more shows? Maybe they ran out of funding after three. The lost episodes DVD is fun to watch and these shows seem to be also on Youtube. Not very memorable promotion but not a bad one either."

[8.0] "From today I decided to watch TNA and I think it is an old company and has delivered lasting matches in the history of American wrestling."

[10.0] "The biggest sports entertainment company in the world and for a good reason. I was a lapsed fan who only watched the big 4 PPVs for the last 5-6 years because of that old creepy perverted man. Has me hooked back ever since Triple H took over. Business is Hot, wrestling is great, the promo work is the best it has been in years. Cody, Roman, Seth, Punk, Drew, Sami, Owens, Gunther, Randy, LA Knight, AJ Styles. The current roster is the best it has been in years. Also the women's division is the best in the world with Becky, Bayley, Rhea, Bianca, Iyo, Asuka, Kairi, Charlotte etc."

[4.0] "AAA is and has been runner up for a long while now. If youve only seen AAA it may seem like ideal Lucha Libre but once getting into CMLL it really showcases the differences in each company and how less rounded many of AAAs talent are. It doesnt help that AAA is seemingly far more open to booking anyone regardless of how shit of a person they are if it manages to fill just 20 more seats. Theres talent and stuff Ive liked and still like in AAA over the years but its really become apparent to me over the past several years that AAA is probably not getting away from playing second fiddle to CMLL for a very long time if ever with the way it is. Its many foreigners first (including myself) introduction to any sort of Lucha Libre in Mexico itself which is a good thing and something that CMLL just seemingly doesnt try at all to grow to a non Mexican audience."

[] "Been going through some early 80's territories stuff and so far have been really enjoying Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling with Piper, Slaughter, Jake Roberts, Ole Anderson etc. Just some really good stuff all around."

[8.0] "Pound for pound, pre-2022 ownership change, ROH is probably my favorite promotion to have ever existed. I found a lot of my favorite wrestlers through their work here. Yes, it's a super Indie. Yes, it's small potatoes (sorry, fellow ROH lovers, but you know it to be true in comparison to "competition"). But the work and matches in this promotion's history are NUTS. Danielson v KENTA? Or anyone else for that matter because this is the American Dragon's playground? Kobashi v Joe? Roddy v Ace at War of the Worlds? Nigel v Jimmy Rave where we get the true origin of the Jawbreaker? Steenerico v Briscoes Ladder War? Truly, a diamond mine full of gems in the match catalog. Then, the company was bought by Tony Khan. It was sterilized and given big lighting panels and vanilla set design, where it basically acts like AEW's version of NXT. And for me... That is really not okay. ROH is now a shell of what it was, and the reactions are usually "That's still around? / I haven't seen ROH in forever... Who is even there? / etc." Questionable booking choices of TK, backstage incidents with talent being granted their release after shows go off air... It's not a great look. I think it's unfair to just tank the rating because of how ROH currently does business, but I myself have and can see criticisms as well. Now if you'll excuse me... I'm gonna go watch Steenerico vs Young Bucks from Contention '09. And cry and cry and cry, reminiscing about the good ol' days."

[8.0] "Transparency: I have been a fan of the founders of this company for a handful of years now. And my partner and I are Patrons of the company, and have been for a while. BUT, that truly does not influence my rating as such. If it did, I'd blindly give it a 10. But, here's the truth. It's now a super-Independent, and a f****** outstanding one. If you think it's bad, cool. But tell that to the more established companies that are now prominently poaching talent from them. Lucky Ali and Jay Malakai are now in NXT. Bryan Keith, after years of grinding on the road, is now signed to ROH, and will more than likely see his way to AEW TV frequently in the upcoming future. Shows are paced well, matches have the right winners booked, and I love that they prominently use tournaments, especially the Carolina Classic and their outstanding booking of tag teams in said tournaments. My word, the library of tag teams/tag matches that have been a part of DPW are WILD. Violence is Forever, Workhorsemen, Super Smash Bros, Motor City Machine Guns, Grizzled Young Vets... They bring over talent from Japan, and treat them with respect and the spotlight that they deserve... Just good stuff. I take points away due to the company only being a few years old and not truly established, and for just certain Indy things of today that get to me (it's a personal thing with promos... I find that a lot Indy workers who grab a mic nowadays take me out of it, as well as overuse of certain spots by talent. But, again, that's today's Indies). I could absolutely see this company exploding over the next couple of years, as they're gaining lots of traction. A great starting point if you're looking into watching some Indies, especially if you enjoy women's wrestling, tag wrestling, or stipulation matches that matter (looking at you Tankman v Corino in a steel cage 13-minute sprint where they just killed each other for the title at You Already Know 2024... That card also has the fantastic match of Lady Frost v Miyuki Takase for the DPW Women's title, and countless other bangers. Actually, just go watch that show; great stuff)."

[8.0] "Giving an 8. My weekly watches are stuff like Stardom, a few indies, and over the past year, TNA. I am not a tribalist fan, like a lot seem to be when it comes to this company, or "the big competition". My consumption of AEW these days is their YouTube clips, Twitter posts, and the occasional PPV if I am interested in the match card. Which directly lines up with my problem with this company and my rating. Most of the "stories" do not and cannot make me care. Currently Hangman/Swerve has gotten me interested, as well as Joe as champ and Sting's upcoming retirement as of posting. There's quite a bit of overpushing that occurs here, especially on the Women's side. I *adore* women's wrestling. Stardom is a favorite of mine, love the TNA Knockouts Division, and "you know who" has been on fire over the past year with the likes of matches from the big stars like Ripley and Belair, and others in "developmental" like Valkyria, Stratton, Perez, and Vice. But in AEW, why am I constantly having certain talent just constantly on TV in repeated losses when stars like Shida, Rosa, Baker (yes, I like Britt, cry more), and others with proven track records of getting over are not on TV? This goes to the men's and tag and trios divisions as well. Talent are overpushed, or not seen. And the stories don't make *a ton* of sense usually? And certain stuff is really disconnected? I say all those negatives, leading into the good because HOLY GOD, WHEN THEIR MATCHES ARE GOOD, THEY ARE F****** GREAT. Some of my fave matches have happened in AEW, but the booking and TK acting out on Twitter take me out of it quite often. While often being really long and kinda dragging, AEW's PPVs giving you 4 hours of matches for the price isn't a bad value in my mind. But, I get when people say 14 matches on a card is long. It can get wild. The big thing to remember is: everything doesn't have to be in competition with each other, and there can truly be alternatives. And AEW to me is a valid North American alternative that needs to find it's footing, and that spark and shine that was present when the promotion was freshly minted and new."

[10.0] "I get the hate, but it's a 10. Due to importance and influence alone. Is this the peak of grappling? No. Was it a train speeding towards certain doom? Oh, absolutely. But this promotion is insanely important to where wrestling is as a whole even to this day. Austin, Pillman, Rude, Cactus, Funker, Mysterio, Guerrero, RVD, Taz, Raven, The Dudleyz... All had moments here. Not just moments, but moments of importance. If you don't like ECW, that is truly understandable. But to just say the same old s*** like "mudshow", "carnies", or my personal favorite "nothing but addicts" is laughable. Boy, do I have some news for you about locker room culture and what went on in 80s/90s WWF. It's a damn shame that Heyman ran it the way he did, followed by Vince's purchase then the following steps to make the brand and it's talent look absolutely foolish."

[] "The BEST promotion for anyone who loves the traditional British style. Credit to John Freemantle for continuously running great shows."

[5.0] "I like the Yuya Aoki movement, and Takuya Nomura is lights out great, but I don't think Big Japan has an in-depth roster enough to compete with GLEAT, let alone the top national men's promotions like New Japan, All Japan, NOAH, DDT, and Dragon Gate.."

[1.0] "I feel awful giving an independent wrestling promotion a harsh score, but unfortunately this wrestling promotion truly deserves it. For context, this wrestling promotion USED to be at the very least adequate for an indie - fun matches with decent star-power in the local indie Springfield scene, you could tell a lot of the people there really cared about the wrestlers. That all changed in the beginning of 2023 when Steven Lucas, one of the owners made transphobic remarks in regards to another promotion's match, behavior of his which apparently wasn't new and which PWA swept under the rug. And if memory serves right, the promotion was already under fire for how late they were to call an ambulance for Victor Analog after an injury. After that happened, numerous wrestlers and announcers (including people who were trained by PWA) ended up dissociating from the promotion entirely. Spencer Powers, arguably the "hometown hero" of the promotion who held their main belt, pretty much just stopped wrestling in general, while the younger headliners of the promotion such as Victor Analog (probably the best wrestler who's ever been on their roster) and Anakin Murphy moved on to more prominent promotions in the St Louis area. With that, and the fact that they stopped being able to get wrestlers like Matt Cardona to wrestle for one-time events in their pomotion, led to their current state in 2024. Now, all of the former mid-card acts they used to have - the wrestlers who were too old and out of shape to have any true amount of potential in wrestling - are treated as their main stars, since everyone younger left the promotion. The women's wrestling portion isn't too bad, but the promotion in general just lost all of the feeling that the promotion used to have."

[10.0] "This rating for me is more emotional than rational, but Ice Ribbon was (and is) one of my favourite Joshi promotions and they always delivered in bringing good shows, new talents to the Joshi scene and a lot of passion and effort into the pro wrestling art. Sadly this promotion just can't catch a break from Stardom poaching most of their best talents to a lot of the promising young stars retiring from wrestling and the tragedy that happened with Asahi (RIP) but they still never failed to deliver entertainment, happiness and good matches whenever I had the oportunity to watch one of their shows. Sadly their format of distributing their shows makes it nearly inaccessible on occident and I can't keep up with them as much as I like, but I always hope this promotion to shine in the Joshi scene."

[10.0] "ive come to truly appreciate ddt as of late. it really has something for everyone, which very few companies can pull off. ddt typically gets known for their comedy wrestling, which is probably some of the better comedy wrestling in the world, but they are much, much more than just comedy. konosuke takeshita is one of the bigger examples of non-comedy in ddt, since he has had his rise in aew. but kazusada higuchi and the recently retired yukio sakaguchi are two more incredible hard hitters in the company that would do well anywhere else and not just ddt. then you get to saki akai, who wasnt one of the best in ring wrestlers but had an aura and a passion that couldnt be replicated that ddt fans fell in love with. theres some exploding deathmatches in ddt on occasion, theres comedy, theres absurd high flyers, theres some of the best technical bouts youll see anywhere, and theres some of the hardest hitting matches out there too. ddt truly has it all. if youve only seen ddts comedy and it isnt for you, i encourage you to check out some of their top matches too because theres a good chance youll find someone or something youll like there."

[] "it is a very good and consistent wrestling company still having leaders like basso brothers and havok with all time faves like hayter and party power also with new talents like scorch and katioa. very excited for the future. [10/10]"

[10.0] "have been looking at WAW for a while and the booking is perfect, championship reigns are never too long or short and wrestler pushes are never too forced or rushed. simply great progression making every show feel like things are actully going somewhere"

[3.0] "NWA used to be a glorious promotion. What happened? Billy Corgan needs to get the hell out of the company, he is making it into one of the worst promotions in pro wrestling, not even close to the standards it had back in the 1900s. Both TV titles, the US tag titles, and the junior title all need to be removed, there's no point in having so many championships with such a small roster. The world title needs to be taken off of Tyrus, he's doing no favors to the company. We also need Cyon to lose the national title. When all that happens, I'll give a better rating. (Edit #1): I gave this a two formerly, but things sorta started looking up with Tyrus gone and EC3 as the champ. Still nowhere near respectable though... I'll give it a three."

[10.0] "My favourite promotion for the majority of my adult life, until I discovered Stardom shortly before the pandemic. Fabulous wrestling, supremely proffesional presentation and some of the most memorable title matches in wrestling history have been given to the world by NJPW."

[7.0] "From what I've seen of it, it is an enjoyable presentation of Catch-As-Catch-Can style wrestling. Focuses heavily on MMA style limb control, groundwork etc. An enjoyable watch."

[10.0] "Personally my favorite promotion of all time. New Japan is the best. The promotion with the most number of best matches in history of this sport, that's saying a lot. 10 out of 10. New Japan is GOATED for me."

[10.0] "Stardom is simply the best women's pro wrestling right now. One of the best promotions in terms of quality of matches. 10 out of 10. Absolutely love it."

[10.0] "All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling was incredible. The best women's wrestling there ever was. The promotion that gave us a huge amount of the greatest matches in wrestling history. 10 out of 10."

[2.0] "Full of bad history, stupid decisions, awkward booking and they can't even book babyfaces right anymore. The sets are horrible, the themes have ALL become terrible, nobody looks like a star anymore, they can't build guys (they only get over by themselves and somehow get even buried like guys like Zack Ryder), they bury promising young guys (Paul Burchill is the prime example I can think) and they squandered the Invasion angle so badly. You can't enjoy something like WWE, the only reason they're still here is because of guys like Jim Ross and Pat Patterson (RIP). They give someone some generic gimmick and let them figure it out themselves, giving the good stuff only to the guys they like (that 50% of the time can't even make things work). Raising my rating because I've been more forgiving towards the behind the scenes stuff, but the product on TV is still pretty bad (or at least IT WAS bad for too many years) Edit 2024: in just one month they lost all goodwill"

[] "Fantastic promotion! Puts on really fun shows and the wrestlers they book go out of their way to make it special. 10/10 would highly recommend attending a show if you're in the area."

[9.0] "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."

[5.0] "All Elite Wrestling embodies everything that's wrong with modern professional wrestling. If you want to watch a bunch of short skinnyfat wrestlers synchronize a tumbling routine then this company is for you. Tony Khan books like he's booking an E-fed and playing the hits from better promotions that came before. That said, AEW is a company of contrasts. Look no further than the masterpiece that was CM Punk and Maxwell Jacob Friedman's feud that played out over the previous few months. When the professionals are out there you get a truly world class product. Unfortunately so much of the company is dedicated to play wrestlers getting their buddies on TV and no one takes anything seriously. Up and down the talent roster you get some truly great talent like Jay Lethal, Keith Lee, Darby Allin, and the list goes on. But so much time is dedicated to silliness with redundant angles and segments. This company has time to grow and they have put on some the best wrestling in years, however it gets bogged down in indyriffic nonsense too often. Part of me wonders if fans will give AEW a pass on everything because it is the only legitimate competition to WWE since 2001 because some of the stuff that makes air is truly ridiculous. * I would also like to note that AEW is a case study in what happens when a mark books a territory and how wrestlers are their own worst enemies in regards to booking themselves."

[8.0] "in my opinion the best federation in France with Rixe. regular talents like Antonio Adamo, Tom La Ruffa, White Storm, Mareck, Eddy Marston and Jack Spayne who give great credibility to the product and very promising young wrestlers like Chris Baviera, Adam Frost, Stanislas Cartier, Lucas Menil and Shawn Olsen who are the future faces of the promotion. there is nothing to say, since 2018 TPW has known how to attract talent and promising young people to offer us entertaining matches and different posters at each show."

[6.0] "a very recent promotion which gives itself the means to grow and evolve. very good cards at each show and very dynamic matches. the promoter is a wrestling fan and you can feel the passion he puts into his shows. the future of Brawl Spirit is golden"

[9.0] "the best in France. their regular shows have crazy star power with Cara Noir, Tristan Archer, Will Ospray, Aigle Blanc and their shows dedicated to young people allow us to discover new talents like Aiden Black, Atem, Ricky Sosa and the Breiz Buvett Club. there is no better in France and I think we can talk about a European Top 10"

[6.0] "in decline for 2 years, few new names and less exciting storylines than before. It's a shame they have a lot of good wrestlers ready to emerge and already established stars. there are really better things to do"

[3.0] "this promotion shames the profession. Wrestlers are often students put on shows too early. the storylines are sloppy, poorly executed and poorly developed. Apparently a lot of guys are not paid as agreed after the show and the wrong people are put forward. there must be 4 or 5 guys who are good wrestlers and who should leave because they really aren't helped by the structure and boring storylines offered by AYA."

[6.0] "A satisfactory wrestling promotion with a steady talented roster and tv shows for view weekly on YouTube."

[6.0] "WWE isn't a easy promotion to rate because there's some horrendous stuff but also some amazing stuff, thankfully seems to be in better hand with Triple H (though i'am really not fan of his work as a booker) because in 2017-2022 when Vince McMahon was doing his bullshit this was absolutely awful and unwatchable with some incomprehensible, illogical and STUPID booking decisions until a point you can't watch it with people not really into wrestling (the kind of persons who watch when they have the time or there's nothing else to watch you know) without being cringed, it was one of the worst period in WWE history quality standpoint. The 2015-2016 is one of my personal favorite period of this promotion, maybe because it's back when i got back into wrestling but there also was some memorable storylines and matches that we still talk about nowadays. Every period has its up and downs, we had Jeff Hardy winning his first WWE championship but we also had Katie Vick, we had the rivalry between Stone Cold and Vince McMahon but we also had a rivalry between Reigns and Corbin where Roman Reigns ate dog food, we had Daniel Bryan winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 30 but we also had Val Venis feuding with Yakuzas. Now the product has improved since Vince McMahon left the booking management but i still find it stale because most thing seem predictable. This promotion will always be beloved and hated but one thing is sure is that most of wrestling fans wouldn't be what they are without WWE and even if WWE doesn't longer suit with me, i recognize that without this promotion i won't be the wrestling fan i'am now."

[10.0] "This promotion popped into my head for the first time in half a decade and now I can't stop thinking of the memories. This promotion was so fun, wild and a blast to watch every time. Between the talents they had on their shows, the quality of matches, the amounts of sheer hilarity and absurdism along the way, the crowds, their social media game, etc, this was the hottest indy in Texas for a while. They even mastered the idea of doing shows live on Twitch, which helped their popularity. It became a super indy to a degree, without fully going there. I still miss it and always will. At least their shows are still on Twitch and youtube, so those memories can still be relived to a degree. I miss those days."

[8.0] "I'm probably biased because quite a few wrestlers that appear here are really nostalgic to me, but I honestly really like this promotion. Good wrestling, very small environment but that's something I really love with this. I like it a lot!"

[6.0] "Kind of sad to see this promotion go. Their style was decently fun a mix of British wrestling a tad bit of a bunch of other styles. Also I just love the theme of a carnival based wrestling promotion, it's a cool aesthetic even if they didn't lean heavily into it. I'd say check out what this defunct promotion has on their youtube you might like what you see."

[6.0] "Somewhat disappointing over the last half year or so, hoping now that they're building to Revolution that things start to spice up a bit. Tony said that 2024 AEW would be like 2021 AEW, and I can only hope that he delivers on that, because the company (to me) is nowhere near the heights of that era anymore"

[9.0] "Absolutely great z-tier promotion and idea from the superstar genius mind that is Survival Tobita and how much he can push the boundaries of what actually constitutes wrestling or not. Unemployment Pro is all about dudes wrestling in a tiny room with no ring, no official ref, no ropes, no mat, nothing but a dirty ass floor and the few dozen who come to watch having to essentially just lean on the wall and hope they don't randomly get caught up in the matches either in there or when they spill out into the streets lol. Weird stuff and even weirder matches but if you can brave the jump into Tobita's bizarre world then you are rewarded greatly with a bunch of really solid hardcore work alongside seeing GOAT-tier talent like Keita Yano or that one dude who really likes dressing up as Leatherface every now and then. Great watch if you're all about the goofy ahh promotions that don't care about being comfy viewing, based all in all."

[8.0] "They are going forward in good direction. Hope they will focus more on sports based presentation and not on other BS!"

[6.0] "Njpw during last year was cold with Sanada title reign and other stuff. They need to redeem themselve. But they also lost the God(Okada). So my hopes are very low, idk. But i have still hopes on TANAHASHI as president. Push young stars and make TSUJI champ ASAP because he is the guy."

[] "I understand the appeal of wanting wrestling legends on your card to get as many eyes on your company as possible, but holy cow. When your whole promotion is based on old wrestlers from a decade or two ago, I don't know how you expect them to still perform like they're in their prime. I'm not gonna blame them for the Jake incident, but they didn't do anything to stop him from going out there and making a fool of himself. I don't know how they expected this to be anything more than an absolute trainwreck."

[10.0] "TJPW revitalized my love for pro wrestling when I started watching it in 2021. Maki Itoh was the one that got me watching and I haven't missed a show since. It's mostly a fun and light-hearted promotion until it's not, as in many of those ladies can really work when the time comes. Also it's more of an idol-based promotion with no true babyface and heel dynamics but instead you simply cheer for who you're a fan of. Is it for everyone? No. Is it for me? Yes."
