Welcome to this review of Ring Of Honor: Honor United 2019 – Newport, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and…this show sucked. Yeah. The London show rocked and this one sucked. You’ll get it in a minute.

Match #1: Villain Enterprises (Marty Scurll and Flip Gordon) defeated Tracy Williams and Flamita

My Opinion: 3.5 out of 5 – Fortunately, this show did start off with a lovely match. I used lovely. I can do that. Suck it, Donald Trump. This was a fantastic way to start the show, as it was a longer match with plenty of action that was properly paced and fought with heart and passion. The sucking hasn’t quite started, yet.

Match #2: Shane Taylor defeated Danny Jones – Ring Of Honor World Television Title Match The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:

Roh World Television Champion Shane Taylor successfully defended his title against UK competitor Danny Jones.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt:uk review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of interesting stuff to get to, so let’s do so.

Match #1: Nina Samuels def. Lana Austin The following is courtesy of WWE.com:

Although a tenacious Lana Austin was operating on all cylinders against Nina Samuels, delivering a fierce forearm that nearly closed the door on her opponent, Samuels overcame her upstart foe with a fireman’s carry into the Primadonna for the victory.

My Take: 2.5 out of 5 – This was a quick match that had some good wrestling but felt a bit flat, if that makes sense.

Match #2: Eddie Dennis def. Jamie Ahmed The following is courtesy of WWE.com:

Still recovering from his brutal No Disqualification Match against “Bomber” Dave Mastiff, a very angry Eddie Dennis roared back with a dominant showing inside the squared circle and around ringside against Jamie Ahmed.

Wrestling Travel, the World’s only travel company specifically focused on wrestling events and building a wrestling-based community for fans, welcomed the biggest independent wrestling convention in UK history to Manchester and didn’t disappoint!

Wresting MediaCon 2018 took over Bec Arena in Trafford Park for two days of live wrestling shows, superstar panel Q&As, meet & greet opportunities, live YouTube stage shows and welcomed over 1300 people through the doors over the weekend. The fans got up close and personal, meeting two of the most important names in pro-wrestling as Jeff Jarrett and Pat Patterson wowed the crowds whilst Manchesters very own Lana Austin had the biggest opportunity of her career facing Su Yung of Impact Wrestling (see our review of that right here).

There was plenty of action exclusive to the live audience as UK sensation Nick Aldis announced that he’d be invoking his rematch clause against Cody Rhodes.

Taking place as part of the first Wrestling Mediacon in Manchester, England; Impact Wrestling vs. the UK saw a handful of Impact’s biggest stars take on, and team up with, some the latest and greatest UK wrestlers – from pioneers of the UK scene like Jody Fleisch and Johnny Storm to Wos stars Justin Sysum and Nathan Cruz. At 2 and a half hours the show was fast-paced and more importantly well received by the UK crowd. We were there in the front row to give you our report and feelings on this historic event.
