One of the key elements of WWE is that they believe in their homegrown talents. Talking about homegrown talents, it is their developmental territory that is popular as the Nxt. Under the supervision of Shawn Michaels, WWE has dug out some fine superstars in recent times, namely Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Charlotte Flair and the list is endless.

Two such popular names who are being tipped as the next big things in Nxt for now are Myles Borne and Stephanie Vaquer. Borne is a member of the No Quarter Catch Crew, and despite having his own challenges, he has come out with flying colours. Stephanie Vaquer continues to be the women’s champion in Nxt, which she won after defeating Giulia at Nxt: Roadblock.

Welcome to this weeks episode of Aew Dark: Elevation, I’m editor Phil and let’s get straight to it, with no messing – much like Elevation itself!

Match #1: Ftr def. Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson

My Thoughts: Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson had a pretty decent showing here thanks to Ftr giving them some leeway to show off. A couplke of spots looked a little too telegraphed but otherwise this was a decent hard-hitting Wrestling match as per most of Ftr’s matches.

My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Nyla Rose def. Delmi Exo

My Thoughts: Another Nyla squash. Anyone else wishing she’d face an actual opponent these days? Another case of linger intro than match!

My Score: 0 out of 5 Match #3: The Acclaimed def. Baron Black and Tamilian Vineesh

My Thoughts: Tamilian Vineesh took all the abuse from The Acclaimed in this match, with Black getting a...

Welcome to this week’s column of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Mr. Rogers here with us. Mr. Rogers: Hello my television neighbor. I wanted to talk to you about violence. When people watch violence, that doesn’t make them violent. Violence is wanting to be violent and then choosing to be violent. When you watch wrestling, you are watching it because you want to watch wrestling. Watching wrestling doesn’t always have a meaning besides wanting to watch wrestling. Wrestling can be fun, but we should always remember that wrestling can hurt the people that do it, because it is violent. When wrestlers get hurt, that’s not your fault. However, you should always try to empathize with them when they are in pain. Mr. Robinson: Hello boys and girls! I’m in pain listening to this old-ass...

Welcome to this return of The Last Week In Wrestling, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this simplified version of the column shall encompass all of the major reviews on the site and serve as the exclusive debut of many of the leagues’ different reviews, including the Major League Wrestling, Ring Of Honor, National Wrestling Alliance, Nxt UK and 205 Live, along with my versions of the two Aew: Dark reviews and the debut of New Japan Strong. These promotions will have their matches scored and the best match of the week will be named before we wrap-up with a verdict on the week in wrestling overall. Okay. Let’s kick some ass. Melvin McMelvin: You cannot say such things! Me: Who the f—k are you? McM: I am Melvin McMelvin, attorney for the Internetal Protectorate! I represent the decency of the internet! I got rid of Cambodian Thong Pies!

Welcome to this weeks sub-2 hour long Aew Dark: Elevation… I say that because Aew literally put “almost 2 hours of wrestling” in the title of the show on YouTube! Hey, at least if they do that we know what to expect upfront. Let’s get to it…

Match #1: Qt Marshall def. Robo

My Thoughts: Despite Paul Wight saying on commentary that this match featured a “valiant effort by Robo,” this was a squash. And a bad squash at that. This is the kind of wasted TV time that could easily be cut and make Elevation a trimmer, faster, Shorter show.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Abadon def. Leila Grey

My Thoughts: Yet another squash match. Abadon made short work of Leila Grey who only got in a couple of punches and a kick in the corner in the entire match! Otherwise Abadon threw Grey around like a ragdoll.

Welcome to this weeks review of Aew Dark: Elevation, the promotions second YouTube show that aims to showcase new and upcoming talent. We’ve had a good couple of weeks from this show so let’s see how this week fares… Oh sh*t, we’re not off to a good start with another 150 minute show!

Match #1: Jungle Boy def. Adrian Alanis

My Thoughts: Adrian Alanis got to go it alone in his first singles match against Jungle Boy, and wouldn’t you know it this was another of Aew’s quasi-squash matches, with just enough action to give this some length but featuring Jungle Boy pretty much railing on Alanis for the duration. Still I could watch Jungle Boy do this all day…

My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #2: Dustin Rhodes def. Aaron Solow

My Thoughts: A great match between two men who are now, storywise, rivals. But what this actually was,...

Welcome to this week’s National Wrestling Alliance: Powerrr review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this is gonna piss you off. Just read the review.

Match #1: Royce Isaacs defeated Andre Guhn

My Opinion: 2 out of 5 – This was two minutes of “hurry up damn it”. This match just wasn’t much to look at.

Match #2: (Main Event) Ricky Starks defeated Zicky Dice – TV Title Match

My Opinion: 2.8 out of 5 – This was a taste of what a match at length between these two can do. Why are we just getting a taste? Why not give us fifteen minutes? What, are we not good enough for fifteen minutes? What do we have to do to get the fifteen minutes? Do we have to get down on our knees and lick master clean? Is that it? Master needs a tongue bath? Anyway, this match was as short as my dinky.

Welcome to the first National Wrestling Alliance: Powerrr review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I didn’t choose to name the damn show “Powerrr”. I think the extra “r” or two is there because of coke-lines or something. This show is a one-hour broadcast that is modeled on the old Jim Crockett TV format, so expect nostalgia lined with Punky Brewster hair-gel and Alf condoms, “because he can’t spend all day eating pussy…cat”. This isn’t always a show designed to offer great wrestling, but it does have some great production values and a very lively atmosphere. Let’s get to this time-warped trip through Billy Corgan’s bank account before he smashes my pumpkin.

Match #1: Aron Stevens defeated Sal Rinauro – Submission Challenge Match

My Opinion: 2.3 out of 5 – This went all of two minutes and was…A Squaaaaaaaaaaaash! No! No! Damn it!
