Weekly Watchlist 106 - War of the Chops - 2 Year Special

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, Cliff Morgan's Wrestling Vault proudly brings to you, fellow groupies of grifting grappling;

Weekly Watchlist 106, the 2 Year Special! 

Wow, imagine that! 2 whole years writing about wrestling for this silly lil' blog! Who'd have thought I'd make it this far? Me? I dunno! I was always hopeful I'd stick with it past the first few months, and I'm glad I did! Sure proved all my haters wrong! Ha! 

I'll have more to say at the end of this week's post, but for now, I just want to say thank you for checking in again this week. Whether it's your first, fifth, or fiftieth edition of the Watchlist. Thank you. 

So, without further ado! Let's get down to the review'in!

NOAH

Weekly Watchlist 105 - Speedball x Something Implodes

What's the story, maniacs of mimicking mauling?!

What do you get when former tag team champions face off in a one-on-one match! A fun bout! I'll keep things short and sweet today, as todays match and review are rather short, so I don't see a reason to waste any more time.

Onward! To the match!

Weekly Watchlist 104 - The Pink Striker Challenges the Cosmic Killer

What’s the story, boosters of bootlegging bludgeoning?

Gonna keep this weeks intro short and sweet. I decided to buck the trend set last week (can you really call one post a trend?) and move past the Savage/DDP feud, I’ll hopefully come back to it eventually  

This week, however, the rings of Pro Wrestling: EVE spoke to me, so I gave them a watch for the Watchlist this week.

Match of the Year Tournament - C Block - May 2026

Welcome back friends, to another edition of the Match of the Year tournament! 

May was a rougher month for yours truly, as I've mentioned a few times, but I was still able to find and reward some quality matches with a place in the Match of the Year tournament!

Weekly Watchlist 103 - Paige Fights for a Savage Head

What's the story, patrons of parroting pummelling?

A rather difficult week for yours truly, it was a real challenge for me to find something I wanted to review this week. I lucked out after finishing The Lapsed Fan's Starrcade Memorial Tour (for the second time) and deciding that I'd dig around in some WCW classics for a review this week. Match one of a three match series (maybe a 3 week review series?) was my choice for the week, which proved to be pretty fun! Maybe not a bona-fide banger, but fun regardless!

Well, what are you waiting for? Read on and find out more!

Matches of the Month - May 2026

Well, May certainly was a month that happened! 

Speaking for me personally, it was a difficult month for my mental health. I felt like I was pretty burnt out after the heavy wrestling month that was April and didn't really have the desire to watch as much this month as I did previously. I'd like to say that I'm in an upswing, but I won't lie and say things are better when they aren't.

I'm also enjoying the warmer weather more, spending time away with my wife and family, and putting my nose to the dirt better about applying to jobs. So it's safe to say that I don't always have hours and hours on hand to watch wrestling.

But! I did still watch some fantastic matches this month!  So let's not dwell on the negatives and instead focus on the very best matches from May of this year.
