I've just finished watching the women's Rumble and think it was the best one they've done, Alexa and Bianca were so great in the first half and then the Shayna stuff rocked at the end. Only real down point was Santino. Shame about the result though - Shayna should absolutely have been the winner from NXT.

Hangman Page has been awesome with his stuff with Omega and the Bucks. I legit love that jab at the Bucks for not winning the tag titles before him.

including him just kind of stewing there until finally interjecting that. great stuff

Wrestler of the Week, Week 3 (Jan 17-23)

5. Davey Boy Smith Jr.
I really enjoy MLW's match making in the past few months, and this Opera Cup highlighted that. Davey Boy had to go through a series of tough guys, in Low Ki and Alex Hammerstone, establishing himself as the big tough guy around, and on the other side of the bracket, his former tag team partner and long time friend Brian Pillman Jr. was a big underdog in his matches with the much more experienced TJ Perkins and Timothy Thatcher, and the two would go on to play those roles to perfection in the tournament final. Davey would pick up the win in a tournament I enjoyed a fair bit, which is good for number 5.

4. Cara Noir
Cara Noir was one of the few bright spots of British Wrestling in 2019 and was scheduled to challenge Eddie Dennis for the Progress Title last Sunday at Chapter 101, the first show of the company's new era after Jim Smallman's departure. Instead, the show began with Dennis announcing he was injured (shortly after returning from 6 months on the shelf) and vacating the title. Cara would go on to win the title in a 4 way elimination match that came down to Cara and Ilja Dragunov, his opponent in a trilogy of matches in 2019 that elevated both to this level. Cara becomes the first non-WWE talent to hold the Progress Championship since Mark Haskins in 2016 and it will be interesting to see if this is the beginning of a new direction for Progress. Either way, this is a big step in Cara Noir's career.

3. Buddy Murphy
The best way an undercard guy can usually get elevated in WWE is by affiliation with a top star, as they immediately are forced to actually remember you exist week to week. Buddy is a great worker and had some of WWE's best matches last year, so getting into a prominent role like a tag team with Seth, one of WWE's most valuable acts, should enable him to showcase that which in today's era can be enough to make you... as close to a star as WWE makes

2. Adam Page
The booking of the Adam Page/Kenny Omega team has been some of the best stuff in AEW, and easily the best stuff since Full Gear. This was obviously just the beginning of the next chapter, and it's clear for all to see that there is tension in the group, and if AEW can tell this story well (and the evidence so far is that when it comes to the major story beats, they've mostly done that) then the long term project that is Adam Page should pay off. The signs are already there as he is coming off as more of a star each week.

1. Keith Lee
Keith Lee is one of WWE's best successes in recent months, and was probably the person who benefited most out of Survivor Series (at least, on the men's side). He's been on a hot streak ever since and capitalized on that momentum winning the North American Championship from Roderick Strong in a predictably great match. You have to wonder if Lee is a guy Vince has any interest in, but I really hope not because he can have fun matches with so much of NXT if he's about to spend a year or more in prominent Takeover spots.

Advokaiser makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Jan 10-16 2020:
5 - The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson and James Drake)
Alex Shelley's debut in NXT was a pretty cool thing, when you read his Twitter posts about what it means to him. But his first match teaming back together with KUSHIDA was a loss to the Grizzled Young Vets, who got to cut a promo afterwards and show a worldwide audience one what we in the UK have known for a while, that Gibson is one of the best heels in wrestling

4 - Drew Mcintyre
This week's RAW started with a pretty fun segment, where both AJ Styles and Randy Orton felt like fresh and interesting characters. Then out came Drew, who continued to come off well in his babyface role and then won the triple threat with these two other guys who had been positioned as a big deal on the show. The babyface role is where Drew always should have been and it's a great sign if they're running with that in 2020

3 - Tyler Bate
Last year, Tyler Bate wrestled 40 matches, and less than 10 singles matches. He's already one of the best in the world at such a young age, but in 2020 I need to see him in more matches like the one he had this week at NXT UK Takeover against Jordan Devlin. He came out on top there, despite Devlin seemingly being on the rise, so I expect they have big things planned for Tyler. Plus, he set up a match alongside his Moustache Mountain teammate Trent Seven vs. two of NXT's top stars in DIY for Worlds Collide.

2 - Tessa Blanchard
It's possible that considering what she achieved this weekend, we could be viewing Tessa as a slam dunk number 1 this week. She's the first woman to hold the Impact Wrestling Championship, a title that has been a fairly big deal at some points in recent history, and that's a big achievement for her and a big step for Impact. Unfortunately her week hasn't been all good, and a cloud hangs over her title win due to her past behaviour - the same cloud that in many ways has hung over her career to this point.

1 - Marty Scurll
Marty might once again have proven to be the smartest man in wrestling. While his friends went off to live their dream, his name became one of the hottest in wrestling over the past year, with no end to the speculation about his next move. Marty managed to turn that, along with ROH's desperation to hold on to at least one star, into a lucrative deal for himself - with what is being reported as WWE main roster money for something like 40 dates a year - as well as taking over the head booking position in ROH, which seems to have had the knock on effect of helping to repair the ROH - NJPW relationship, as ROH went on to announce NJPW talent for Wrestlemania Weekend after not seeing any in months. This seems like a great move for both Marty and Ring of Honor

Advokaiser makes me feel eternal. All this pain is an illusion.

Looking back I probably should have still given njpw at least 1 point but in December I was feeling extra down on them and I did feel like they had a worse year than they'd had in a while, with a lack of fresh matches and what was, in my opinion, a very messy end to the season in terms of getting to the big matches at wrestle Kingdom. I thought that OTT and GCW in particular were companies that deserved some recognition in the category as they consistently put on fresh and hot shows that delivered huge to their fanbase and generated worldwide buzz.

I feel like when you're main eventing with Joe Coffey, you're probably doomed from the start.

especially when he's supposed to be the babyface

it was a good match but i was a bit underwhelmed compared to what they're capable of. easily the worst show to ever have the name "takeover" as nothing else is remotely worth watching. the tag and the main event and the women's match were all actively bad, and seven/dennis is just fine.
