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!

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 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 the story, subscribers to staged strife?!
A fantastically fun TV match from AEW on offer this week, one I did not expect to review but knew I was going to the second it was advertised. You think I'm just going to glaze over Tommaso Ciampa's AEW debut like that? Ha! Do you even know me? Give me a break!
Let's not waste anymore time! Let's get on with the review!

What's new, worshippers of worked whiplash?!
I mean, aside from it being a new year and all, I guess that was a pretty silly question to ask, eh?
Regardless! Welcome to 2026! What a year 2025 was! I have high hopes for 2026 and, if the tail end of '25 is any indication, I think '26 is gonna be a good year for the graps.
Let's go over AEW's Continental Classic semifinals and finals to cap off the year that was, yeah?

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!

What's new, acolytes of acrobatic absurdity?!
Well, your boy has gone and done it. I'm officially married! And what a wedding it was. I won't bore you guys with the details, but it was a weekend I won't soon forget. For better and, unfortunately, for worse. Unrelated to the wedding itself, thankfully. We lost a dear pet on the big day and we're both taking it pretty hard. One day at a time. I knew all I'd be able to manage this week would be All Out and, as I draft this intro on Thursday evening, I'm in the middle of watching Hanger and Fletcher, the match I had pencilled in for this weeks review. It's some major eleventh hour work going on at Wrestling Vault HQ.
But, I've never let that stop me before! The show must go on! So, dear reader, read on and find out just how goo this shows main event really was

What's new, diehards of dramatized dropkicks?!
This week, I bring you something I haven't done since Watchlist 004! Bring you a review of a show I was at LIVE! Well, I should correct myself from the hop here, I will not be reviewing September to Remember from top to bottom, I simply don't have the time, but I will be reviewing the opening match as someone who was there in attendance live from London, Ontario's Canada Life Place. It was a really fun show and I was so happy to be there live with my fiance. But the rest of the story is gonna be buried in this review, so if you want to find out more, read on!

What's the story, chasers of choreographed chaos?
Time just keeps moving forward which means the reviews just keep a'comin. Sticking with my 1 match review again this week as the wedding countdown is nearing closer to two weeks than three. Hard to believe we're as close as we are. But, you guy's aren't here for that, are you?
As I talk about later in this review, it's all I can do to keep up to date with the current product (of course referring to AEW) so reviews will more than likely just be a recap of the best match from TV the past week. Give me some time to get back in the saddle and then we'll be back to business as usual.
So, until then, enjoy this wee's exciting offering!

What's new, lovers of ludicrous leglocks?
You'll be getting a bunch of one match reviews for the foreseeable future. I do plan on going back to two, unless everyone prefers a single review of course, but with a wedding looming close and everything piling on me all at once, I can't take the time to write two reviews along with everything else I do. I'll also be taking this month off for Five Star Fridays, which is something I'll be doing for the foreseeable as well. 3 Five Stars in a row, a month off, then 3 more. Rinse repeat. Gives me time to work on other projects as well as workshop new Five Star posts.
With all that out of the way, let's get into this weeks review, shall we?

Whats happening wrestling fans?
Another month behind us, eh? Hard to believe we're 5 months into 2025 already. Where has the time gone? I certainly don't have the answer! I've been trying to figure that out myself!
Things haven't been the best lately here at Wrestling
Vault HQ, this wrestling reviewer has got a lot going on upstairs right now. Wrestling is my biggest escape and one
true love, aside from the people closest to me, but even then, it's hard
to sit down and focus on something when you don't want to focus on
anything at all. It's a constant struggle, but I'm making the right moves to come out of this better than I was before.
That said, I need to keep something
consistent in my life and I refused to let a week go by without posting
something. So, here it is, another one match review this week. But fear
not! It's a blisteringly good 15 minute war.
Wait, why I am I spoiling the match here?! Red on and find out more, ya greedy bastards!

What's new wrestling fans?
What a week of wrestling this was. And I know, I say that pretty often, but man, do I mean it this week. I get more in depth about just how good AEW Revolution was, but for those that read and scroll, it was the best show of the year. Full stop. Everyone else doesn't even need to try, the winner has been declared.
And why, exactly, is that the case? Read on, dear reader, and let me tell you why!

What's the story wrestling fans?!
Welcome to March! Man, does it feel good to look outside my window and see some green grass poking up through the horrible white stuff. I feel like we're gonna make it, like this dreary season is almost behind us. I'm starting to get some drive and desire back after weeks of feeling terrible. Bring on the sun!
This is a pretty big week in wrestling for the major companies. Elimination Chamber is in the rear view and Revolution is set for tonight (at time of publishing). The Chamber was... a show, I'll go deeper into what I mean by that in my weekly roundup, and Revolution's card has me well hyped. My week got ate up unexpectedly at the eleventh hour but luckily I watched some noteworthy matches on the weekend that are absolutely worth talking about!
Let's get into those, shall we?
What's up, friends?
Another watchlist, as promised, which means another week of exciting wrestling action, right? Well, not entirely. I was kinda burnt out this week, didn't really know what I was going to watch. Usually, I get the bulk of my watching done Saturday and Sunday, followed by Monday and Tuesday. I usually know what I'm going to review by the start of the week and I start drafting these posts by Tuesday or Wednesday night.
This week, however, I didn't watch a single match until Monday. I just wasn't feeling it. While I was at work Monday, trying to think about what I should watch so I don't fall behind, I remembered I had a whole other list of matches sitting on my phone of stuff I've been meaning to check out. So, that was my point of reference for the week, a pseudo-roulette. Some matches I'd seen before, others were brand new, but almost all of them were excellent.
So, without further delay, let's get into it, shall we?
What's the story, phony fighting fanatics?!
Welcome to the final post of 2024 and, somehow, the first Weekly Watchlist of 2025! Make that make sense! It's been a busy time here at the end of 2024 for your favourite wrestling blogger, but I'll always carve out some time to give the people exactly what they want. So, without further delay, let's dive into this weeks watchlist!
What's new, enthusiasts of tournament-based, predetermined tousling?!
Happy Holidays to all! I hope you've been able to enjoy yourself this season and find time to relax and be with friends and family. I've been busier than ever and feeling a bit of a crunch a few days before Christmas but doing my best to just go with the flow and enjoy the time I have.
I also did some brainstorming this week, thinking about what I could review for this weeks review when the idea came to me one night, after I was visited by three spir- wait, wrong story.
Breaking a bit from the norm, I'll be giving AEW's Continental Classic a spotlight this week. I've been catching up on the matches before World's End and felt like there were too many good to great matches that deserved a bit of love.

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.
