Weekly Watchlist 024 - November 24 2024

What's new grappling groupies?

Been a real busy week for your favourite wrestling junkie, again. Sometimes you want to do nothing but watch wrestling, other weeks you want to just... watch less? I've been working on a big project I've started for the blog and its been occupying a lot of my brain during the day, so needless to say as soon as I get home, all I want to do is give it even more of my time. Not like it's a bad thing, its a real passion project that won't be on here for at least a couple months and I want to make sure I have as mush information as possible. Should hopefully be the start of a series of real in depth reviews for the blog. 

Either way, I was still able to get my usual 2 matches in for the week, and what a fantastic pair of matches I found! Buckle up folks, it's a bumpy ride.

Weekly Watchlist 023 - Nov. 17 2024

 What's new grappling groupies?

Back to my usual routine this week after a couple weeks of shaking up the formula to keep things fresh! Feels good to be back in the saddle again. I wasn't really feeling like watching a whole lot of wrestling last week for whatever reason, so it was kinda hard for me to just sit down and find something to pass the time with. This week, however, was not so hard. I had a big show I'd been meaning to watch for a while, DPW to catch up on, and some other matches that came across my radar that I wanted to give some time. 

So, without further delay, let's get into this weeks review!

Cactus! Cactus I'm flying!

Weekly Watchlist 022 - November 10 2024

Welcome back purveyors of predetermined pugilism!

Have I got a treat for you folks this week! I've been holding back on watching this for days now and I'm so excited to share it with you guys finally. I don't want to take up too much time, so let's get right into it!

Weekly Watchlist 021 - November 3 2024 - Halloween Special! Part 2

 Welcome back viewers of simulated violence!

Like I've mentioned in the previous 2 reviews, this weeks Watchlist is a continuation from number 019, part 1 of my Halloween Havoc review. I had to split it in half because reviewing 12 matches in one week was a bit much. 

 

Matches of the Month - October 2024

 October is in the rear view so that can mean only one thing! It's time for Matches of the Month! This was another exciting month of matches complete with Wrestling Roulette and a Halloween Havoc special to really spice things up this month! 

Enjoy the read!

Weekly Watchlist 020 - October 27 2024 - Wrestling Roulette

 Welcome back fans of phony fisticuffs!

Its review number 20 which means its time for another instalment of...

The Weekly Watchlist Wrestling Roulette!

For those who weren't around for post 10 where I first introduced Wrestling Roulette, let me give you a quick breakdown of the concept and basic rules. For those who don't know, I keep a spreadsheet with a running list of wrestling matches from all over the world and from all periods in history. It serves as both a record of what I've watched and enjoyed the most (or least, for some matches) as well as keeping track of matches I want to check out. I'm up to over 1300 entries right now and it keeps growing every day.  

Too often I get in a pattern with my watching and don't stray too far from the norm. Lately I've been working on catching up on DPW as well as just staying up to date with current AEW, WWE and TNA on the side. I haven't had much variety lately and I think I'm in desperate need of it. Wrestling Roulette is the perfect answer to this! For one full week, I force myself to watch whatever match a random number generator picks for me. I do have rules I've set out and will allow myself some wiggle room but, for the most part, I stay pretty consistent to the formula.
