This marked the end of Condry and Eaton's only NWA World Tag Title reign and the last time they'd hold gold together for nearly two decades, losing in what was their 18th (!!!) 2-out-of-3 falls encounter against Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton in under 200 days.

It's one thing to hear about matches with crazy reputations that go in either direction; it's another to see them for yourselves. That perfectly describes the only ever encounter between Andre the Giant and the infamous Akira Maeda, one of the godfathers of Japanese shootfighting and a man who...well...to put this bluntly, has a reputation for himself in the wrestling realm.

Over the weekend, New Japan Pro Wrestling ran one of their two shows in the United States this year, The New Beginning USA, in Trenton, New Jersey's Cure Center; headlined by IWGP Heavweight and Global Champion Yota Tsuji defending the latter title against AEW's Andrade El Idolo, but there were a couple of other matches on this card that piqued my interest.

Hard to talk about Pro Wrestling's arc since the turn of the millennium without mentioning Pro Wrestling NOAH.

A man who was as polarizing an in-ring performer at his peak, Cena's in-ring ability, and more importantly, match catalog, are hard to deny with just one final bout, against Gunther this Saturday evening, left in his Hall of Fame career. A student of the game, with the vintage tape collection to prove it, Cena's prints are over some of the best bouts that have ever taken place in a WWE ring,

I don't think this is a foregone conclusion by any means, and that speaks to the preposterous level of high-end talent women's wrestling has this year across several different promotions. However, Storm arguably has the best outright match and feud this year, an untouchable promo catalog, and is undeniably a top draw in the industry with as over-the-top a persona as you can get in modern-day wrestling.
