Good day everyone! And welcome to your new Lucha Underground Analysis covering the weeks of February 11th and 18th. February 11th brings us some additional advancement in Catrina and Ivelisse’s respective stories, but the 18th is absolutely filled with every woman you can think of! Yes, yes, Catrina… Ivelisse… Black Lotus… Sexy Star… Melissa Santos, … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! On the last stop before Fastlane, we’re (hopefully) finishing up our Groundhog Day-esque loop of Paige wrestling singles matches while Nikki and/or Brie Bella observes. SERIOUSLY. WE. HAVE. BEEN. DOING. THIS. FOREVER. At this point, the repetition has got to be intentional, right? Maybe it’s the creative team’s way of … Read more
Greetings all, and welcome to another Divafied edition of the NXT Redux!~ Last time we saw each other, Sasha Banks finally realized her dream when she became the new NXT Womens Champion by defeating Charlotte, Bayley and Becky Lynch in a fatal-4-way. It was a beautiful moment that will surely be up for many year-end … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to this week’s edition of TNA Xplosion coming to you from Glasgow, Scotland. We’re in for a special treat for fans of British Boot Camp season two, as this week there is a semi reunion of the cast in form of a mixed tag match. Hometown fan favorites Noam Dar … Read more
Brie. Mode. Those of us who view Total Divas on a regular basis know exactly what that means. But those of us who might be new to the show got a taste of exactly what Brie Mode is this past Sunday, as did new cast member, Paige! Twice a year, World Wrestling Entertainment embarks on … Read more
Vroom Vroom! Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux, the last one before WWE Fastlane. The Divas Division’s engines were revving loudly last night and storylines progressed at decent speed as we actually got treated to some interesting character development and two matches! Lana kicked off the show, as Rusev and her confronted … Read more
Welcome to a (very belated) Main Event Redux! I’m filling in for Eleri this week. After waiting a few days to find full video of this match to embed (and failing spectacularly), I’m just powering through with this review, watching the match on Hulu. You’ll just have to imagine the missing parts of the match … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to what will be a very brief edition of Impact Write-Up on this fine Valentine’s Day. After finishing up things over at that Manhattan Center last week with Lockdown, TNA’s annual UK Tour kicks off this week and our first stop of this extensive trip is Glasgow, Scotland. On this … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! We’re almost a week away from Fastlane, and the WWE has taken a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach to this Paige/Nikki Bella feud, as they’re again putting Paige in a singles match as Brie and Nikki sit in on commentary. I’d argue that this feud is far … Read more
Well it’s Friday, and honestly, I should probably just wait and post this on Sunday. That way you guys could just have a recap of last week’s episode to better prepare yourself for this week! But alas, I’ve procrastinated enough in terms of writing this. Granted, it isn’t my fault that I work almost 60 … Read more
I can’t intro this. Let’s just jump right in. We head backstage to get a peek at both Sasha Banks and Charlotte warming up for the fatal 4 way, similar to the ones we saw earlier in the night involving Bayley and Becky Lynch. From there, we transition right into a very incredible video package … Read more
Greetings peeps and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux! Raw has rolled on into Ohio this week on the road towards the worst named pay-per-view since ‘This Tuesday in Texas’, WWE Fastlane. This week, we were treated to an in-ring promo from Lana, some on-stage verbal shenanigans from Stephanie McMahon, managerial duty from Naomi, Natalya … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to this week’s Impact Write-Up; the “free PPV” Lockdown edition. It’s our last night at the Manhattan Center in New York City and what better way to leave a final impression than by providing a night full of six sided steel cage matches. Granted, it is an hour shorter than … Read more
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s WWE Superstars write up! Last night saw a tag team match unfold, featuring two of my faves, Naomi and Cameron. They were on opposing teams, having still not made up after their terrible falling out last year. They’ve made waves as singles competitors and hopefully 2015 will give … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! We’re back in action after last week’s abysmal, practically-Diva-free live edition of the show. Before we get to the night’s (criminally short) Divas match, let’s venture outside the arena for a double date orchestrated by Natalya and Naomi. This was apparently set up on the WWE App during Raw, but … Read more
Greeetings! Just as a heads up for the double header — being that Lucha Underground is a little short on women’s action for the time being, if we go a week without a match, I may hold off and do these bi-weekly just so we have a bit more to talk about and obsess over … Read more
What’s up, lads and ladies? I’ve had a pretty killer two weeks, travelling up and down England so catch up with friends, and lucky me had the opportunity to finally meet my fellow DDer Jack in the flesh! We went to the TNA show in Manchester last week, which was INCREDIBLE. We saw Kong and … Read more
Good day all, and as always welcome to this week’s NXT Redux!~ The Fatal-4-B.A.[Y]E stage is still being set as we prepare for TakeOver next week, and tonight we delve into the next chapter by witnessing Bayley go one on one with Becky Lynch. In addition, as reported last week by my fearless leader, the … Read more
Hola Knockout fans! We’ve got some Knockouts action this week on TNA’s B-show Xplosion this week; or maybe it’s now TNA’s C-show behind TNA Unlocked? Either way, this week’s Xplosion match features Brooke in her first singles match since returning to the company after being MIA for nearly a year. She goes one on one … Read more
Happy February everyone! The snow has practically gone and finally, the doors to Monday Night Raw are open once more. The weather was frostier than a confined space with Ashley Massaro and Sunny in it last week, yet thankfully things have returned to normal and we can stop moaning about the cold weather and resume … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to this week’s edition of Impact Write-Up. It’s been another cold and wintery week in New York but the action from the remaining TNA New York City shows from the Manhattan Center continues to be hot! On this week’s episode of Impact Wrestling, we are treated to a triple threat … Read more
Good day loyal readers, and welcome to this week’s NXT Redux! Going to start you off with a little warning… I just watched the series ender to one of my all-time favorite shows, Parenthood, and so this redux might be a big fat mess since I’m all in the feels right now. Regardless, I will … Read more
Happy Thursday, everyone! Who’s ready for a recap of last Sunday’s Total Divas? There wasn’t too much drama this go around, but they still managed to squeeze out a pretty good episode thanks to home invasions, lesbian kisses, and body image issues. The body image issues hit close to home for a lot of us, … Read more
The Royal Rumble has typically been a “hit or miss” type of event as far as the Divas are concerned. Either the Divas are featured in cool matches and moments (like surprise Rumble entrants) or they’re not featured at all. This year, though, we were met with a “middle of the road” scenario. A match … Read more
In this modern world of empty excess, round-the-clock news and constant global instability, it’s difficult to find anything truly surprising or shocking nowadays. Indeed, I think the last three or four moments of genuine speechlessness I’ve experienced in my life have all been sport-related (including good ol’ fake sport), and even then they were spread … Read more
Hola Knockout fans and welcome to this week’s Impact Write-Up! I’d like to take a quick moment to confess that while I didn’t tune in to Impact at its regular scheduled time last night, was viewing the Shine 24 show at the time and ironically it did tie into some of TNA (more on that … Read more
