What's new, lovers of ludicrous leglocks?
I'll keep this intro short this week, which will make more sense when you get to the Weekly Roundup, as I want to get right into the action this week. No fluff, no filler, all killer, all... buff? I dunno, man, I'm sleep deprived. Let's get to the action!

What's new, worshippers of worked wristlocks?!
Similar to last year, I decided on this post before I even started writing this week. I knew I wanted to do something big for WrestleMania season, but I wasn't too sure what, at the very start. A bit of thinking and talking thinks over with my lovely wife, and I came to a conclusion.
Last year, I reviewed Mania 41 top to bottom, eventually going scorched earth in my review of the company as a whole. Since then, I've left WWE in the dust and have not looked back. Now, just over a year later, I look back at the year that was as well as both WrestleMania 42 main event matches as to compare and look at where the company is a year on from when I left it behind.
So, much like last year, warm up those dice, get those bank cards warm and your slots arm limbered up, because we're going back to Vegas, baybee.

What's good, patrons of preformative pain?!
This week, I had a hankering. I was hungry for some good 'ol classic tag team wrestling. Some of that old-school, hard hitting, big beefy tag stuff. You know what I mean? Does that ring any bells? No? ... really? Not picking up on any hints?
Ah hell, just keep reading then...

What's new, fanatics for feigned fury?!
A lighter shift for me this week, but I still managed to find some exciting wrestling to review! It always seems that, no matter where I look, I'm able to find some quality wrestling to enjoy. Crazy concett that, eh? There's ghreat wrestling all over the world! Who'd have thought!
Let's see what's out there from this week, shall we?

What's the story, marks for manufactured mayhem?!
This is a special edition of the Wrestling Vault! A special hijack! I won't spoil it anymore than that, you'll just need to read on to find out more! Just trust me when I say this, it's worth it.

What's new, disciples of dramatized devastation?!
Y'know, I'm kinda proud of myself! I've been keeping my nose to the ground and picking up on a lot of the most talked about and exciting matches from this past month. Moreso than usual! I think I've watched just about every really noteworthy match that happened this month! Well, noteworthy to me and my tastes, at the very least!
So, let's check out one more noteworthy match from March, yeah? Round the third month of the year off with a certified, bona-fide banger.

What's new, connoisseurs of counterfeit clashes?!
Back at it again! Another week of wrestling! I was a bit thrown off this week, honestly, found it hard to watch much of anything, but something that's just the way the cookie crumbles. I managed to find something exciting to review, a rematch of something I reviewed last year, and it's almost as good as the first bout!
So, let's stop wasting time, yeah? Let's get into this!

What's the news, stans of staged stiffness?!
What an absolutely action-packed week of wrestling we've had! Three huge women's only shows, right around the time of International Women's Day, mind you, and some great stuff on Dynamite as well!
Let's not waste any more time in the preamble, let's get right down to business!

What's the story, champions of comedically coordinated combat?!
Welcome, one and all, to the once-every-10-weeks tradition that is...
The Weekly Watchlist Wrestling Roulette!
We're back again with another spin of the wheel to find out what the RNG gods drop on our lap for the week! As these weeks chug along, I'm realizing that I need to add some more wrestling from across the globe to my master spreadsheet of nearly 3000 matches. The only problem is, I've watched a lot of them over the past 2 years of writing, and haven't done a lot of updating. So I'll need to put a bit of time into adding new stuff.
Regardless, we've got some great matches this week! Let's see what got spun up!
What's the story, bingers of bodyslam burlesque?
This is a bit of a unique post this week. A double feature retirement/goodbye show that I wasn't aware of until it was already over. I felt it was fitting to give it some time this week, so it was decided very early on that, regardless of match quality, this would be my review piece for the week.
Thankfully, the match was more than excellent.

What's the story, devotees of dramatic drop zones?!
An action packed week of wrestling from across the globe! I was digging into the last few shows in the DPW library on my Twitch stream, catching up on an exciting CMLL show, as well as AEW's weekly offerings! Grand Slam Australia was a PPV worthy show! Dynamite was exceptional! Not a bad match this week!
Let's see what was worthy of getting the review spotlight this week, yeah?

What's the story, advocates of artificial altercations?!
Felt like having some fun a mere week after the Super Bowl with a special edition of the Weekly Watchlist! It's not so much a match as it is just 20 minutes of fun, but if you'll indulge me this week, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled nonsense next week.

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 the story, spectators of synthetic submissions?!
Back with another pick from my Twitch stream this week! I was in a UWF-I kick so you guys are treated to a wonderful blend of work-shoot wrestling this week.
Let's not waste any more time, yeah? On with the show!

What's new, spectators of synthetic submissions?!
I won't waste any time at the start here, I've got a real ambitious edition of the Watchlist laid out for you guys here, so jump right in and get to it. One of the biggest wrestling cards out there makes for one of, if not, THE most ambitious and lengthy Watchlist to date.
Enjoy, friends.

What's new, worshippers of worked wallops?!
Back to the DPW library this week, trying to take the final bites out of the remaining few shows I have left. I''m not looking forward to finishing DPW, let me tell you that.
As always, their cards are exciting and filled with great matches, but which match made the cut this week?
Well, dear reader, read on and find out!

What's good, supporters of staged suplexes?
Catching up on some of my backlog with this match to start 2026. The Continental Classic took a lot of my attention during the back half of 2025, so I didn't have an opportunity to seek this match out and enjoy it.
But man, am I glad I did.

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?

Welcome, welcome, one and all, and Happy Holidays! This is the 80th edition of the Weekly Watchlist 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 over 2500 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?
What's the story, enthusiasts of elastic elbowing?
Burning the midnight oil for this post, something I hate doing, but circumstances this week led to this one being a last-minute review.
If all goes as planned, I'll be better prepared for next week and not drafting my intro paragraph in the wee hours of Friday evening. But, c'est la vie.
