The main event of this past week’s AEW Dynamite was an unsanctioned, lights out match between former NWA Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa and Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. While I was expecting the usual chairs and kendo sticks, there were also spots involving tables…and even thumbtacks. Dr. Baker took the brunt of the thumbtacks spot, being …

Was “No Mas” A Little Too Much?
- By 0215ag3sxa in SLTD Wrestling
Much has been made about the wrestling/sci-fi promotion Lucha Underground. With their wide variety of innovative matches, like “Cero Miedo”, “Grave Consequences” and “Aztec Warfare” (think a Royal Rumble-style match, instead of having to get thrown over the top rope to be eliminated, you have to be pinned or submitted), love of violence in the …

The Best Destination For Alberto Del Rio
- By Tom Robinson in Editorials, Slider, WWE
Alberto Del Rio had been one of my favourite wrestlers in WWE for years. I saw a lot in Del Rio which I don’t think many people did. His wrestling skill was exceptional and he was not too bad on the microphone either. He’s certainly a lot better on the stick than the majority of …
