It’s a sad day for wrestling in Germany. Only saw him a couple of times wrestling, but he always gave everything in the ring. Rest in Peace, John.

My personal highlight this year was going to All In in London from Germany. Disgusting expensive four days in London, but worth every penny. Went to the Revolution Pro Anniversay Show on the day before All In to to see Will Osprey vs. Shingo Takagi and was blown away by that show, with suprise appearance by Skye Blue, Mickey James and Chris Jericho and whole lot of RevPro and NJPW talent.

All In was spectacular, the atmosphere was crazy. Beeing surrounded by nearly 80.000 wrestling fans is something I will never forget. I wish I had a better view though, the action in the ring is hard to follow if you're sitting to far away.

The downside of the weekend was the trip back home. Monday after All In the air traffic control in the UK broke down, my flight got canceled, had to reschedule onto the next day just to get it canceled again. So I had to spent two extra days in London and had to take the train to Brussels, from Brussels to Cologne and form Cologne to Berlin. Luckily the airline had to cover all the additional expenses.

The WWE House show in Berlin was also very good.

And now some general thoughts: AEW: I wish AEW would feature more women than just Toni Storm, Skye Blue, Julia, Willow, Saraya, Ruby Soho and Hikaru Shida. One match per show is is not enough. On the plus side though, Julia has really improved a lot since joining the House of Black. Orange Cassidy has really one me over with his first title rain as International Champion, even though I think it was a little too long.

NJPW: Eddie Kingston in the G1 was really fun to see. Lowlight of NJPW for me was EVIL stealing Sanadas belt and proclaiming himself champion. House of Torture is such a trainwreck that I usually skip their matches. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to watch NJPW regularly.

It’s just a minor thing, but the rule about sexualized content uses the word subreddit. Maybe this should be changed to the kbin name/word.

Maybe we get an announcement that we we’ll get another announcement at Collision

Today WWE finished their four event Germany tour in Berlin, in the same arena where they will hold the PLE next year.

The event started with Sami Zain against Dom Mysterio. Zain was super over and Dominick really thrived on the booing. Match ended in a disqualification win for Sami because of outside interference. After a two on one beatdown by Judgement Day (don’t know the name of the other guy), Jey Uso made the save and we got a tag match between Sami/Jey and Dom/Mr. irrelevant.

Next match was Raquel Rodriguez vs. Reah Ripley. Dom interfered several times and Ripley won.

Match nr. four was tag match between Imperium (Kaiser and Vinci) versus Alpha Academy. Before the start of the match, Gable dissed both of Berlins most known football/soccer teams to get some cheap heat. Kaiser was super over with the crowd and Imperium got the win.

Match nr. 5 was The Miz against Cody Rhodes. Miz got booed at every opportunity and played the crowd really well, even the Ref and the photographers got cheered while he got booed. After Cody won via Cross Rhodes, the event had a short intermission.

Match 6 was a tag match between New Day and Judgement Day for the Tag Titles. I didn’t saw much of the match cause I went to get more beer. Sorry about that.

Then it was time for the Intercontinental Championship Match. Bronson „Jonah“ Reed challenged the Ring General Gunther. Like Kaiser, Gunther was the fan favorite and his chops are loud. Really loud.

Main Event was Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Seth Rollins in the tamest street fight ever. During the match, the crowd chanted for tables, Seth got a kendo stick/shinai and threw it away. Then he got a chair and threw it away to finally bring out the table. Seth won minutes later when Nakamure went through the table. A fun main event, both guys are so good in the ring

Kaiser, Cody, Gunther and Seth hyped the upcoming Bash in Berlin PLE.

It was really a fun show and the crowd was really hot. Several times the heels got the “In die Fresse” chant, which means getting hit in your face. Yes, we Germans are pretty direct sometimes.

At this stage of his career, he should do what brings him the most fun. And if it’s a a reunion with Christian Cage, I’m all in for it.

All the best to you. Get healthy and heal up.

Put in the Hollywood Hunk and I’m game.

While it really sucks that Mox got hurt, it also shows a lot of sportsmanship from him. Putting Fenix over was the right decision. I bet that Mox didn’t knew how bad or not bad he was injured, but still called the audible to put the belt on Fenix.

I hope he recovers quickly to give us a run with the International Championship belt that is worthy as the Orange Cassidy run.

I have been to several Project Nova Wresling shows in Germany. They mostly feature new and upcoming wrestlers from Germany and Europe. They also upload their shows with a delay to YouTube, but I guess with german commentary only.

The way she presented herself during her entrance and title reign , it felt like she had a kind kind of an untouchable aura around her.

Current NJPW app on iOS is catastrophe, so I’m actually looking forward to the new service. Having to go to the website, selecting the video and the „chromecasting“ it to the app always felt like a clutch solution.

For (us) Europeans the price hike isn’t that much., so I will stay subscribed even though I currently haven’t that much time to watch wrestling at all. :(

Golden Elite vs. BCG/Takeshita is one of the matches I look forward too. I also look forward to Osprey vs. Jericho , especially after what happened after the Main Event (Osprey vs. Shingo Takagi) in Revolution Pros anniversary Show today.
