2026 Rolling Wrestling

Wrestle Kingdom is starting off with a j-pop performance and the wrestler is doing the choreography. I hope Trips can get Gunther to do the same at Mania.

Just tuning in to WK20 right now since I got off work early, and I'm already hyped seeing Baliyan Akki with Chris Brookes in the dome.

I'm ready to drink and cry for Tanahashi's retirement match.

Tanahashi vs Okada was everything I could have hoped for.

I haven't watched NJPW regularly in years, but I guess it makes sense to make Yota Tsuji the top guy. He's got something, maybe not a "carrying the company on his back for years" kind of something, but I found his young lions class to be fairly boring, so I guess he's the one you take your shot with.

Yota was always my favorite from his class, though they really tried to make Shota the next guy (I really do feel bad for him that it didn't take in the way they had hoped). I'm selfishly glad because it led to the Goto title reign that I had been wanting for years.

ROH wrestler Trish Adora’s finisher is called the Lariat Tubman

He retired Cena.

He retires AJ.

What heat. What an unstoppable monster. Yes! What a build!

Let’s use it all that months of build to… lose the rumble to romanwinslol.

Yep, I didn't get the logic there either. For most of the past decade they've completely lost the plot when it comes to booking Rumbles. There's no story, it's just 1) somebody comes out and runs wild, 2) they get cut off, 3) everyone stands around and waits for the next entrant, 4) repeat. Especially in the women's Rumble.

That said, Liv winning was cool.

I'm not 100% sure how much pull/booking power Saudi Arabia has over WWE for a match like that. I know that there were stories of how they requested certain wrestlers who were retired/no longer alive for the first show they hosted.

Was stoked for Royce Keys debut!

FUCK ICE
FUCK ICE
FUCK ICE
FUCK ICE

obviously that, but i'd guess everyone is finally thrilled we're getting the best version of Andrade

Dynamite is honestly the best wrestling has ever been atm. Feel like we are in the midst of a new special era. Revolution is gonna be boss.

The main event was a 5 star classic.

myaew.com is a fucking bargain!

Ok having looked at it, not everything is uploaded yet, so maybe worth waiting

It is obscene how good Dynamite is at the moment.

wtf is juice Robinsons afro mullet

Anyone watch Wrestlemania night one?

The internet seems angry. A Hulk Hogan ad got more screen time than all women? Only 90 minutes of wrestling on a 4 hour show? A Tony Khan tweet seems to not have been met with disgust but people going “yeah ok maybe I should tune in”? Lmao it seems they have shit the bed.

Dynamite was an all timer. If you haven’t watched, it is worth your time. Maybe as good as the Raw where Mankind won the title… actually, fuck it, maybe better because this had Osprey v Hechicero.

I watched only the main event live. 74 minutes of commercials and 82 minutes of wrestling on a four hour show? That's horrendous. What was with all the short matches? I have no clue what the face/heel dynamic was supposed to be in the main event. And after two months of WWE doing everything they can to get Orton booed? The greatness of WM 39 and WM 40 feel like ancient history already.

As a person who has called themself "EVIL" for many years now (and whose favorite anime is Inu-Yasha), I love this.

Oh that looks great. I never cared for Evil but the change may do him good.

Darby's run is an all timer and every Dynamite is gold at the moment. Weirdly I don't feel particularly interested in Double or Nothing though, bar Takeshita-Okada. I'm sure it will be wall to wall bangers but it also feels like a weird stop gap on the way to All In. I fear Forbidden Door may be this even more so, although maybe we get MJF-Mistico again, so kinda who cares?

sorry, but that EVIL intro is nowhere in the same league as Shinsuke Nakamura's WWE entrance, which is a stone cold classic.

I’m only an hour in to DoN but this may have been the best first hour to a wrestling show I’ve seen

my goodness the crowd for the grande americano match is unlike anything i've heard.

AEW is having a year as good as there has been in wrestling. If they could sort out their women’s division, it could be an actually perfect show.

But really I just want to know people’s opinion on Lio Rush

wasn't aware people had an opinion - he struck me as a gnat wrestler, a la enzo amore.

His new gimmick is a sight to behold. He is essentially wrestling Gollum. It is… a very left field choice.

His commitment to the bit is really impressive, even if I’m not personally sold on the character. Keeping up that kind of very specific persona for a whole match takes a lot of effort. I do wish AEW’d more consistent about how they’re selling it, though; commentary talks about him like he’s faking it (trying to suspend disbelief here, guys) and seeing him in a dress shirt and holding a colourful umbrella last week was far too incongruous.

this genuinely slaps and has made my backyard summer bbq playlist

Banger

i really like how lio has adjusted his style to fit his character. when he first showed up in that battle royale i was kinda shocked!

SAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy for Sami. I’ve not watched most of his main roster career but El fucking Generico is world champion.

Can I shock you? I rather think this Omega-ZSJ match is a fucking banger

Holy fuck I thought Pac had killed Shota

Maya World, star of the show.

it popped in my feed, but this stone cold/sami breakdown of sami's jackass match really held down my (we know it's brief) love of his championship run.

Go out of your way to watch Fletcher v Komander from Dynamite
