Welcome back, wrestling fans, to another Matches of the Month!
A leaner month for quality wrestling, at least from what I found, but still enough quality matches to warrant one of these posts! I mean, I'd still post one even if there was only one good match, honestly. I'm all about consistency!
Let's not waste any more of your time. On to the matches!
What's the story, superfans of scripted scuffling?!
This is a rather special edition of the Weekly Watchlist, as I attended this show live! You guys get a unique perspective to this show that only a live viewer can provide, so I hope my takes on this show please you, dear reader! So, without further ado, let's get into this!

Welcome, one and all, to the 11th edition of...
The Weekly Watchlist Wrestling Roulette!
Yes, dear reader, it's back! The once-every-10-weeks tradition continues! We've crossed the milestone of 10 editions of Wrestling Roulette, with the 11th instance proving to be the craziest of them all!
For those unfamiliar with the general concept, once ever 10 weeks, I let a random number generator pick the matches for me. That is normally what I let happen, but this week is somewhat unique, and you'll find out exactly why as you read on.
So what am I keeping you here for? Go ahead! Read on!

What's the story, worshippers of whitewashing warring?!
We're a week shy of Wrestling Roulette and getting into the lovely summer months. I really wish I could enjoy the weather more this week, but wildfires to the north and west of me has put everything in a gloomy, gross haze. So, I'm stuck inside watching wrestling! Oh no! Whatever will I do!?
I guess I could write about it? That sounds like a fun idea!

What's the story, addicts of approximating assaults?!
Something of a special post for you guys this week as I celebrate the anniversary of one of the most important matches in the history of wrestling. Now, let's not get confused, there's a big difference between "important" and "good" or even "great" matches. I never said I would always review the best matches!
Let's get right into the action this week, yeah?

Welcome, one and all, to the end of the first half of 2026!

What's the story, partisans of pseudo provocation?!
A shorter review this week as I found myself both a bit busy and burnt out, but I have good news! I've been feeling much better! A combination of medication changes and lifestyle changes have been making me feel much better and wanting to do my writing more. I need to get out of the habit of leaving it until the last minute, like I've been guilty of lately, but we'll get there. Baby steps.
Let's get into the review for the week, shall we?

Welcome back to another Matches of the Month!
We've made it to June! Halfway through the year! Wow, crazy to think. Really feels like we were just celebrating the start of the new year the other day. But, such is the passage of time. Let me give the month that was a brief, but necessary, breakdown.
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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
What's new, clientele of cosplaying competition?!
A busy week means we'll be pulling from the modern day for this week's iteration of the Watchlist. I didn't even get a chance to dig around for anything else, as soon as I saw this match, I knew it was going to be discussed as the week's feature. It's just that good.
So, let's not waste any more time, yeah? Read on!

What's new, viewers of veiled vanquishing?!
Things have been a bit slow for your favourite wrestling reviewer recently. A combination of burnout and depression hitting me with a lethal one-two combination that has been putting me on the backfoot for a number of days. I'm still putting in the work to keep on top of the blog, at least the weekly posts, but it doesn't come without some difficulties.
Similar to when I was in a rough spot last year, I decided to watch a wrestler that, if he were in my shoes, would surely not give up. Would push on through the pain, and would persevere until the bitter end.
For days like the ones I've been having, sometimes I just need to ask myself;
What would Kenta Kobashi do?

What's new, defenders of delusive disagreements!
Welcome, one and all, to the 10th edition of...
The Weekly Watchlist Wrestling Roulette!
Yes, dear reader, it's back! The once-every-10-weeks tradition continues! We've reached 10 instances of Wrestling Roulette and 100 total Weekly Watchlists! Man, what a milestone. First off, I'd like to thank my mo- oh, it's not one of those occasions? Oh, my bad.
I didn't have anything big planned for this roulette, saving a big post for my upcoming 2 year special, opting instead to let the RNG gods decide my fate once again this week.
So, what did they spin up for me? Read on and find out!
Welcome back friends, to the end of the B Block!
What a month April was, eh? Busy, busy, busy. I was a bit worried that there wouldn't be a lot worth talking about this month, with how the 'Mania week shows were panning out, but we sure lucked out.
Let's get right into things, shall we?
