WWE Cruiserweight Classic: Thoughts and Hopes for the tournament

Wednesday night kicked off the opening of the 32 man tournament known as the Cruiserweight Classic. This is an extremely significant venture for the WWE and the WWE Network. Growing up a wrestling fan, I didn't think I would see something like this happen in a major North American promotion, and certainly not the WWE. The fact that most of the talent lineup are not under a WWE contract makes it even more fascinating. What also makes this tournament fascinating is the presentation. This show is being treated like a sporting event with serious discussion on weight cutting, fighting styles and the representations of their countries. They even did a Bracketology special. This is a complete departure from the WWE presentation style. This isn't sports entertainment, this is professional wrestling, and they are pushing that fact. Mauro Ranallo and Daniel Bryan bring a feel of legitimacy and excitement to their announcing that this show feels even ...

Looking back on 2017- The Impressions on Wrestling Awards!!!!

2017... a crazy year. Not my favorite year in terms of world happenings, but a hell of a year for wrestling. There was an obscene amount of great matches last year. We also had some juicy news stories. I have decided to do a mini awards celebration for this incredible year. Please note that I do miss a lot of wrestling every year due to the sheer amount of content. These awards are voted on by one person, who happens to be me. So this is a very biased list based on my opinions. There will be a mix of positive and negative awards, which will hopefully keep it fresh. Alright... all of the introductions are out of the way. Let's get to it!!! First up... Best Promotion New Japan Pro Wresting This is an easy pick for me to make. The in-ring quality of NJPW was off the charts in 2017. It started off with an amazing show in Wrestle Kingdom 11 and had some amazing shows along the way, like the G1 and Dominion. We had two amazing trilogies with Okada/Omega and Naito/Ta...

ROH and NJPW present: War of the Worlds- Review

Wow! What a show! This was one of my most anticipated shows this year, and boy, did it deliver! The big matches delivered and so did everyone on the undercard. Seriously, wow. The show took place in a sold out Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. I will say this, the worst part of the show was the crowd towards the end of the show. For the last two matches, they just cheered at select spots instead of truly getting it going. Weird. Anways, let's break this mother down! Opening Segment- They opened the show with Bullet Club cutting a promo. Karl Anderson introduced the IWGP Champion, AJ Styles. Styles said that there were no followers in Bullet Club, they all lead. This brought out Kazuchika Okada, the former IWGP Heavyweight Champion, who got in Bullet Club's face since they screwed him at Wrestling Dontaku 2014. Styles stated that he was busy with Elgin tonight, which then brought out Michael Elgin. Elgin stated that he thought he'd b...
