This week was one of the hardest weeks of the year to put into a top ten. We had the finals of the G1 in Ryogoku Sumo Hall, the continuation of NOAH's N-1 Victory tournament, and we saw some amazing shows as Stardom gets into the thick of their 5 Star GP tournament too! The quality of these tournaments has been extraordinary, especially the last couple days of the G1 which was a much needed boost to a fairly lackluster tournament. All of these wrestlers have had multiple matc

Here we are, once again, with another fantastic week for professional wrestling! This was easily the hardest list to compile as I really didn't want to leave people out, but I also wanted to showcase all the amazing performances from around the world, from the indies all the way over to Japan. This is why I'm now trying to have one wrestler per match on the list. "trying" being the important word this week. Honourable Mentions: -Maya Yukihi (Maya Yukihi vs Giulia, Stardom, 4/

Welcome to the very first "Worker of the Week" where I rank the performances of wrestlers across the world, from AEW and WWE to New Japan, and Stardom, amongst many others.

Points accumulate over 52 weeks and we see who is "Worker of the Year" for 2023 Honourable mentions for Week 1:

Hello friends and welcome back to the PW Musings AEW Power Rankings and this week we focus on the tag division. NGL but doing these tag rankings has been a chore recently with the lack of competitive action in the division with the majority of AEW contracted tag teams facing off against non-contracted talent or even easier than that against Chaos Project. But in the last few weeks, business has picked up with the debut of one of the greatest teams in the history of pro wrest

This month fifty years ago NJPW held it's first ever event at the Ota Ward Gymnasium with Karl Gotch facing Antonio Inoki in the main event and in the 50 years since, some of the greatest have gone through one of Japan and the world's greatest wrestling promotions competing in some of wrestling's greatest ever matches.

Hello friends and welcome to the latest edition of the AEW Tag Team Division Power Rankings. With a limited schedule of action in the tag division over the past 6 weeks, ranking the duos of AEW has been the most difficult it has been since PW Musings has started the Power Rankings format. Teams have been stuck in multi-man matches and been distracted by faction teammates struggles with rivals. Injuries have also blighted the division, most evident with the Rey Fenix arm inju

Well, 2021 was just slightly better than 2020 I guess. In the world of AEW we did get fans back into the arenas plus many a new signing including CM Punk, Bryan Danielson and Adam Cole.
