Weekly Watchlist 071 - Takeshita Wins Gold

What's new, devotees of deceptive destruction?

Back after a successful week of Wrestling Roulette feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for a revamp! Yes, you've read that right, after 70 weeks of the Weekly Watchlist looking basically the same for its entire life, I've decided to shake things up! It's not a massive change, per se, but I definitely feel like it's going to be a welcomed change for you, my dear reader. I hope to have made the entire reading experience easier and better for you with this revamp and if I have, or haven't, please let me know! Always looking for your feedback! 

So, why don't we get into this weeks Watchlist already, yeah?

Weekly Watchlist 070 - Wrestling Roulette

Welcome, welcome, one and all! This is week 70 of the Wrestling Vault which means only one thing!

 

The Weekly Watchlist Wrestling Roulette! 

 

Yes, that's right folks, it's time for the once-every-10-weeks tradition to return! You guys know the deal (and if you don't, I break it down in the Weekly Roundup), I let a random number generator pick matches from my master spreadsheet of matches. I've got almost 2400 matches to pick from (including stuff I've watched already, obviously) so only the RNG gods know what I'll be watching this week!

Why don't you read on and find out, eh?

Match of the Year Tournament - E Block - September 2025

Welcome, welcome! To the September block of the Match of the Year Tournament! 

We're onto the E block this month, getting ready to close out the year with the F block being all that remains! There's a chill in the air and pumpkins waiting to be carved, so it must be fall! My favourite time of year! 

Let's see what the early autumn has to offer for us, shall we?

Weekly Watchlist 069 - September 5 2025

What's the story, followers of fabricated feuds?!

I've travelled far and wide in recent weeks to find you guys a little gem of a match. There's a bit of a story as to why I went where I did and watched what I watched, but you'll just need to read on to find out why. I can't give you guys everything right from the start here, can I? It's another one-match-wonder this week, and it's probably going to stay that way for a while. I'm re-working and re-thinking some things for the blog this week, and hopefully you'll see the fruits of my labour in post 071, following next week's Wrestling Roulette post. 

But, until then, read on and find out what the other side of the world is up to!

Weekly Watchlist 068 - September 28 2025

What's the story, boosters of bogus beatdowns?!

We're officially out of wedding season but still not in the clear. Been sick since right after the "I do's" along with a whole host of other issues around the house. I've been itching to dig around and watch some old wrestling from across the globe recently but man, it's been difficult to even keep up with AEW every week, and that's the only current stuff I watch anymore! Roulette week should be the kick in the pants I need and will get things back on track, brother. 

But, until then, all I've got for you lovely readers is another lovely TV match from Dynamite! So it's not all bad! Trust me!

Matches of the Month - September 2025

What's up folks?

A shorter Matches of the Month post for September, which should be no surprise given how crazy this month has been. I'm currently drafting this the Tuesday before the post goes live as I'm on the tail end of an illness I'm fighting and just got back home after a last-minute-emergency-family-vacation. Not the fun kind of vacation, either. So bear with me if this month's synopsis' are a bit more lacking than usual. I'm doing my best here, guys.
