Hello and welcome to this visual article showing the history of the AEW Men's World Champions. We look in visual detail at how the belt has travelled from Chris Jericho to today's current iteration of Jon Moxley. In the Bar Chart Race above you will see how long each man held AEW's top belt chronologically from its inception five years ago until today. This chart also highlights how long some champions held the belt in contrast to others. AEW World Championship Timeline - Who

If Collision communicated one thing... It's that CM Punk is back and this is his show. But if it communicated a second thing it's that this is not another two hours of Dynamite and it's a very distinct show. We're now in a position that a number of AEW wrestlers, the ones that are now on the show, will want Collision to succeed because they were either unsatisfied with the direction of Dynamite or because they feel their talent deserved more. Match Quality The match quality b

Rumours of an AEW 'roster split' persist with another report indicating it may be 'harder' split of talent rather than just a way to manage the tension between CM Punk and The Elite: This has caused a lot of consternation between fans and commentators alike. WWE booking in the years post WCW and prior to AEW has a lot to answer for with fans having to learn to trust that a company can use rematches, new title belts and even roster splits to create quality content rather than

Hello and welcome to this write up of what you could do as part of the Pro Wrestling Musings fansite. Two things first; 1. This isn't a paying website; we write for enjoyment and creativity. Ultimately to create something good. 2. You need to be an adult; 19+ having left high school. The ethos of the site is to be different, intelligent and creative. We try to treat wrestling seriously while acknowledging that it can be treated poorly, and can treat it's audience poorly at ti

Wins and losses should matter and in AEW, they do and they don't. Adam Page losing to Brian Cage to derail his journey to the World Championship matters. However SCU's multitude of wins to take them to a shot at the Bucks while they were champions did not matter because they all happened on Dark. AEW fans do not tend to watch Dark as the matches on Dark tend to be squashes with a few lower card wrestlers clashing in 'main events'. Therefore, when these records pop up on Dynam

Hello and welcome to what should be a thorough walkthrough of how I go from this: To this: So initially I gather statistics from whatever match I am watching with a quick shape based shorthand method that I made up myself. I started figuring this all out in August 2019, so i've been thinking about how I count, measure and categorise everything for 2 and a half years! The process itself, while a little taxing, is very rewarding and burrows into the deepness of how wrestling ma

Over the course of 2021, I collected in-ring statistics from ever 1v1 and 2v2 match on AEW TV and PPV, as long as the match was contested with traditional rules so no stipulation matches. For the full run down of these stats, click here. This article takes those statistics and ascertains averages from those numbers. Averages that give use what the average AEW match looked like in 2021 and the average for each of the three major divisions in AEW; Men's, Women's and Men's Tag.

CM Punk's epic promo on AEW Rampage, the first in 7 years, analysed line by line. Who is Punk in 2021 and what is he telling us?

Wins and Losses Matter was one of the first slogans put out into the world by All Elite Wrestling. Almost nobody is questioning if wins and losses shouldn't matter. Years of WWE booking losses as precursors to title shots made this an obvious open goal. So AEW's presentation of winners gaining title shots seems like a simple and effective strategy. But is it hamstringing the company more than most realise? Let us start at the beginning, wrestling fans have a complex when it c

On the 21.04.21 episode of AEW Dynamite Darby Allin defeated Jungle Boy to defend the TNT Championship. In the closing stretch of this match Jungle Boy was in control of the match and locked in the Snare Trap twice. Allin got to the ropes the first time but resorted to pulling Jungle Boy's hair and gouging his eyes the second time. He then managed to catch Jungle Boy in the last supper and win the match. Note Jungle Boy's dominance as Allin snatched a dirty win. As Darby A

The All Elite Wrestling Full Gear match card is STACKED! It is one of the more exciting line-ups of wrestling matches I have seen since, perhaps, Wrestle Kingdom 14. When you are being compared with the very pinnacle of wrestling that can only be a good thing. Most of these matches will be of exceptional in-ring quality, but a fan's enjoyment of a wrestling match is also affected by what proceeds the bell to bell action. Today we analyse and rank the build to each of the F

Craig's Pro Wrestling Musings #1 Wrestling Storytelling with Statistics - Relationship between Offence Difference and Win/Lose Records.

Hello and welcome to my website all about the eccentric world of professional wrestling. I started watching wrestling when my family finally got Sky TV when I was a teenager. I had always heard my friends talking about The Rock or Stone Cold at primary school but I saw very little of it. However I dived headfirst into the world of Smackdown and Raw at my first possibility. This was in 2003 when Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Triple H and Shawn Michaels dominated WWE television. As
