Our Contributors

Craig William
Founder
Craig started the PWM site back in 2019. He invented the whole Match Stats concept (counting and categorizing the moves in a match) that's at the core of PWM's uniquely data-focused approach to covering pro wrestling
He has stepped back from an active role since 2024

Sergei Alderman
Editor in Chief
Sergei came to PWM in 2021 with the Styles Make Fights concept - taking Craig's match stats and putting them into context over the course of time to talk about each wrestler's fighting style. SMF has been defunct since 2022, but Sergei has brought many other concepts to PWM such as Learning Tree - focused on tracing back pro wrestlers' training lineages
Sergei has been part of the #AEWeekly team since the beginning in 2022, and has taken the lead on organizing the weekly group project since Gareth stepped back from that role after the first year
Since Craig stepped back from the site in 2024, Sergei has taken on that lead role

Peter Edge
History Writer
Peter has been a major part of PWM since 2021, with articles covering Wrestling Observer News topics, as well as picking (and justifying) the Top 10 of assorted wrestling-related things
Currently hard at work on the massive GOAT100 wrestling history project, selecting and justifying with data the 100 greatest wrestlers of all time
Peter has also been a big part of all of our group-written projects, including covering the Moment of the Week beat for #AEWeekly for almost 3 years, and then the MVP section for a year after that.

Lauren Wisniewski
#AEWeekly Team
Lauren is a key part of the #AEWeekly team, covering the Story Beat of the Week section since the beginning of 2025
Outside of PWM, Lauren does voice acting and other writing under the pen name LW Salinas

Abel Loza
#AEWeekly Team
Abel is an important part of the #AEWeekly team. He's been covering the Match of the Week for us since the beginning of 2025 and often covers two beats when our team isn't at full strength
Outside PWM, Abel also writes extensively about NCAA football

Larissa Sapko
#AEWeekly Team
Larissa is the newest member of the PWM community. She has a background in labor organizing and wrote a great piece on the history of labor organization in pro wrestling (check it out by following the "Outside" button below...)
She has been handling the Moment of the Week section for #AEWeekly for the past few weeks and will hopefully be contributing full articles soon!

Emiliana
#AEWeekly Team
Emi is a vital part of the #AEWeekly team. She has alternated between covering Moment of the Week or MVP since late 2024
Emi has stepped away from writing about AEW since March but we hope she will return when her beloved Cowboy Man does
Emi also writes and edits for the Social Suplex newsletter, records podcasts, and lovingly handcrafts .gifs

Gareth Ford-Elliott
Writer & Editor
Gareth was a huge part of the early years of PWM. He contributed his series Tale of the Tape putting match stats into context, from 2021 through 2023. He also published several opinion pieces and ran the PWM annual awards
He also spearheaded our group-written projects, both in the Roundtable and #AEWeekly format. He both organized the team and wrote Story Beat of the Week for the first year of AEWeekly, then moved to whichever beat needed him - Match of the Week for a while, then MVP - until stepping away from PWM in 2024

Greyson Peltier
Writer
Greyson's unique approach, viewing pro wrestling through the lens of politics and culture (and vice versa), primarily focusing on All Elite Wrestling has been an important part of Pro Wrestling Musings since 2021
In addition to his inimitable Change The World series of articles, Greyson also pinch hits for #AEWeekly, occasionally sharing his perspectives on the latest week in AEW
He has a professional background in political media, marketing, and communications, and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with honors from the University of Southern California

Sam Preston
Writer
Sam brings new concepts to PWM regularly, spearheading Roundtable discussions on different topics, and brought us a series of articles talking about his local charitable indie wrestling promotion, Tamar Championship Wrestling

Joe McCaffrey
Contributor
Joe has contributed to many PWM Roundtables and was a key day-one part of the #AEWeekly team for the first two years, writing the Match of the Week section for much of that time, or also sometimes the MVP section
After moving on from #AEWeekly he created a similar "best of the week in categories" project called ESCAPE & ENGAGE written solo hosted at his Substack

Debesh Mehrotra
Film Maker
It may seem unusual to see someone front and center among our contributors based on just one piece from five years ago, but only if you haven't read it! Deb is an exceptional storyteller with a unique perspective – PWM can only wish he might bring us more someday, but he is a busy man
Debesh is a maker of short films from India, ranging from a narrative coming-of-age tale like "Squeaky Shoes That Chase Lost Souls" to video essays about his fandom experience and insight into the storytelling of New Japan wrestling. To avoid copyright strikes, he uses cartoons he draws himself (basically storyboard frames) to illustrate the New Japan video essays
In one case, rather than make a video essay, he brought a set of those cartoons (about the oddball kick-a-thon between Kota Ibushi and Taichi in 2020) to us to accompany his written essay, rather than a video essay

Sam Brown
Guest Podcaster
Sam aka Sir Sam has been a frequent and welcome guest in many PWM Roundtable discussions. Likewise he has welcomed several PWM regulars as guests on his longrunning podcast AEW Match Guide
He also covered Story Beat in #AEWeekly for Gareth when he needed a few weeks away in early 2023

Patrick Eire
Writer
Patrick brought the Retro wrestling Match Guides to PWM in 2022, as well as the Weekly Roundup in 2023 & 2024. He wrote a great Terry Funk obit when he passed in 2024 and a Top 100 Wrestlers of 2024 series at the beginning of 2025.

Tim Morehouse
Writer & Data Collector
Tim is one of the few besides Craig to learn and independently use Craig's method of collecting move data, and used that to write a series of articles on Retro matches, as well as a series on the moves used throughout AEW Dark: Elevation that ran from 2021 to 2022. He also took on using the attribute matrix developed by Sergei for grading factions to take over the AEW Factions ranking series from 2022 thru 2024
TIMMAY also had a role in #AEWeekly, covering Match of the Week for a few weeks in 2024 after Joe had moved on
