The current AEW International Champion has had a plethora of great matches during his time with the company, but which are the best? This is what I plan to narrow down with this article. I have seen a solid amount of OC’s catalogue, so I think that, in good faith, I’m qualified to do such a ranking. While some wrestling fans find Cassidy insufferable, I think he’s incredible, so it was a joy putting this together. I hope you enjoy it. 10. Dynamite 10/5/23: Daniel Garcia vs Orange Cassidy When creating this list, I had the nine matches narrowed down…

Many consider WrestleMania III to be one of the most significant events in wrestling history, but why is that? Well, I am going to run down the five main factors that really make this PPV as monumental as it is. The sheer number of records that this show would break would be a catalyst for years to come, so without further ado, let’s get into it. 5. Record-Setting Pay-Per-View Buy Rates With buy-rates of around 400,000 (which grossed them an estimated $10.3 million), it was record-setting for the time. For an event in 1987, those numbers are still very impressive…
Toxic Attraction. A group that seemingly ran the NXT women’s division for over a year. A trio that had Wade Barrett infatuated. Mandy, Jacy, and Gigi had all the gold they could get on lock. And while Mandy was already established, Gigi and Jacy showed real potential to be big stars in the future. Now that it’s been almost a year since Jacy and Gigi split away from the tag division, it’s good to look back on who has been the standout of the tag team between the two. And honestly, it definitely hasn’t been Gigi. How They Were Viewed…
With WrestleMania season starting, I thought that it was only right to look back on a WrestleMania of the past. Nicknamed “The Ultimate Thrill Ride”, WrestleMania 33 as an event has gone quite under the radar with wrestling fans. This is most likely due to it being in the middle of two below-average WrestleMania’s, in 32 and 34. Or maybe it’s because of the five-hour runtime. Nonetheless, I’m writing this article to bring awareness to how fun the ride of WrestleMania 33 was and how people should really consider it the good WrestleMania that it is. Show Presentation With the…
Midway through 2023, we heard NJPW star Kazuchika Okada express his desire for wrestling to have a football-esc transfer window. If you don’t know what this means, it’s suggesting that for three months of the year, wrestling companies are able to bid for other signed wrestlers. While in practicality this would never work, in theory this is interesting. So I have eight different promotions, and who I think would be their number one priority. I have taken some liberties here and there, but I have mostly aimed to choose a wrestler who would benefit their company most, looking at the…
With TNA recently announcing its second ever women’s Ultimate X match, it made me ponder who the participants could possibly be. With this revamp bringing in a ton of new eyes to the product, it will be a good idea to showcase a lot of the names in the knockouts division while also potentially showcasing newly signed ones (*wink wink*). Also, before I get into the article, I do want to qualify that I’m assuming it’ll be a five-way, as a lot of Ultimate X’s are around that number. Tasha Steelz She won the first one, so it’s only right…
With Moose cashing in his feast or fired shot against Alex Shelley for Hard To Kill, I am one of the firm believers that this event should end in a title change. The dawn of the new era of TNA sure is exciting, and Moose winning would personally be my way of capping it off. This article is based around my reasons why Moose is the ideal guy to hold that TNA World Championship leading into the new era. Shelley’s Reign While Shelley winning the world championship will go down as one of the greatest moments in the company’s history,…
While it’s been a little over six months since the 2023 WWE draft, I think it would be good to take a step back and analyse who has benefited the most from their main roster run so far. This will be based on who has had the best booking, crowd reactions, and matches. There are thirteen different NXT call-ups to go through here, so I say we just go right into it! 13. Odyssey Jones You had to see this coming. There are quite a few flops on this list, but this one is by far the worst. More than…
Christian Cage and TNA are, respectably, both very popular topics in the wrestling industry currently. I thought that it would only be right to rank some of the best matches from Christian’s storied run in the company. I’m under the belief that this was Christian’s greatest ever run in wrestling, as he took it as an opportunity to re-invent himself and prove to be a main event player. Captain Charisma also established himself as a legend there and ended up cementing a TNA Hall of Fame-worthy legacy by the time he left. 10. Turning Point 2005: Christian Cage vs. Monty…
With Impact Wrestling reverting back to its Total Nonstop Action name, there is now a lot of buzz surrounding the company. TNA may truly be on an upward trajectory, with the company setting loads of ambitious sights for the coming year. Not only do they have the potential to further skyrocket in popularity, but they also have the potential to lose their spot at number three to the NWA (who got a great TV deal with the CW), so it’s important that they make the right decisions leading into this new era. While they have set sights on increasing venue…
