The RAW Tag Team Title match was a flawless example of tag team wrestling, the build, heel tactics from Dolph/Drew, the hot tag and all round storytelling was exceptional. Becky Lynch vs Charlotte was a thoroughly entertaining affair, with a good back story and great audience interaction this made for a very competitive contest, possibly the best since Charlotte/Asuka at WrestleMania. I enjoyed 3 matches from the PPV, Becky/Charlotte, RAW Tag Team Title match and AJ Styles/Samoa Joe, these matches alone elevated the event beyond what would have been just a mediocre PPV. So Monday morning I listened to the PW Torch review of HIAC with Wade Keller, Todd Martin & Bruce Mitchell, that combined with the PWJ review from Rox made me decide to watch the show. I kicked started the week by interviewing a new rising women’s wrestler in the UK, I then secured another interview with a prominent young talent from Preston City Wrestling (PCW). My priority for next week is to catch up with NJPW – let’s hope I find the week in wrestling has been like a very long car journey from one weekend to another, from WWE HIAC, NXT, MLW War Games and PWTorch I’ve managed to fit it all in. Shades of hard-hitting Joshi wrestling in this gruelling match, in which both wrestlers emerged looking highly impressive. I knew Mia Yim would be a joy to watch as always, but the sleeper hit was surely Karen Q Vs Xia Li. Hopefully they’ll get another shot at it at the next Takeover – their chemistry and ability deserves a bigger and better showcase.Īnd the Mae Young Classic continues to surprise. Dunne vs Ricochet was every bit the high-octane thrill ride you’d expect, with both performers on top form, but ultimately let down by a predictably messy ending. It feels very transitional right now, which isn’t necessarily bad – it seems as though some interesting storylines are being set up, and another high profile feud for the Dream is always a cause for excitement. Other highlights included Becky Lynch Vs Charlotte Flair, though why they didn’t utilise the cell I’ll never understand.Įlsewhere, NXT continues to chug along nicely. He’s always had so much potential, but precious little opportunity to live up to it.
Rollins/Ambrose Vs Ziggler/McIntyre was a highlight – all four performers seem to bring the best out of one another, and it’s a joy to see Ziggler revitalised. I caught up with Hell in a Cell, which was a surprisingly well put together PPV (with the usual surfeit of dud endings). My job is currently eating my life, my week in wrestling has been nowhere near as exciting as I’d like it to have been.
