What's the word, friends?
A new edition of Matches of the Month is here to celebrate the beginning of the autumn season! Yes, that means the leaves are turning and the temperatures are dropping as old man winter starts to tighten his grasp on us here in the great white north.
But fear not, friends! I will push on! I will power through! I will continue to find the very best wrestling the world has to offer!
But before we get too ahead of ourselves, let's take a look at September, yeah?
Hey friends, how are we doing?
Normally, the schedule would call for another edition of Wrestling Roulette, with this being a "10" edition of the Weekly Watchlist. And I'll be straight up with you guys, I had it all figured out for weeks. I have a whole slew of UWF-I matches I recently added to my home media server that I was wanting to get through, so I threw all the matched I had into a spreadsheet (just over 200 entries) and had about a dozen matches already picked out for the week of watching, knowing I'd probably need to spin the wheel again to pick 4 or 5 worth talking about.
But then, on Saturday night, the news broke.
PAC passed away.
I was totally stunned by the news, just like everyone else. And that night, I decided to completely flip the script. My UWF-I roulette will have to wait for another week (hopefully I'll return to this idea again soon) as it's time for me to pay tribute to one of the very best of the modern age.
This week is for the Bastard.

Editors note: This post is formatted uniquely, as I wanted this to be an all-encompassing tribute to PAC. As a result, there is an "extension" to my Weekly Roundup piece after the matches are reviewed. If you need to read this week's edition in pieces, please do. Look after your mental well being.

What's new, fiends of fronting fuming?!
I've been on a real hot streak of covering matches from the land of the rinsing sun the past few weeks, eh? I thought the island deathmatch from last week's Watchlist would have killed the momentum, but all it did was spur me on to find some more wacky wrestling.
And friends, this may be one of the wackiest yet.

What's the story, evangelists of embellishing eradicating?!
I continue my journey in the rings of Japan this week with, what might possibly be, the strangest match I've ever reviewed on the Wrestling Vault. I say this, knowing full well I've reviewed a match on a Bullet Train as well as a handfull of CHIKARA matches in my day too.
Despite all that, I think this one has to take the cake.
Why is that, dear reader? Well, read on and find out!

What's the story, watchers of whitewashing wrecking?!
I continue through the rings of Japan with another Stan Hansen encounter this week! What can I say, when I'm in a good grove, I like to stay there! This match blew every expectation I had away and thoroughly entertained me.
Let's read some more about it, shall we?
