Another quick 5 match episode of Honor, this time under an hour. Red Velvet vs Leyla Hirsch was an awesome opener. I was rooting for Leyla in the tournament but I like both so Velvet going on is cool too. Velvet vs Aminata in the semis shall be excellent, another where I'm a fan of both. Abadon squash setting up their tournament match with Mercedes upcoming, this tournament rules. Big Shotty's win streak continues. the traditional 4 corner tag was a fun main event, nice win for the Infantry.

I went back through the past year+ of results and picked out what I thought were the one or two best matches from each episode. Just recommendations as of course you can pick & choose any you'd like! Going back to the beginning of 2023, here's a list of what I considered the best matches throughout 2023 into 2024. (Though there was a season changeover in the middle of the year so some talents rotated out while others came in.) I believe most everything is on their Youtube channel @WOWSuperheroes either match by match or in 30 minute cuts of the full episodes. Not sure if including all the storyline angles that play out over time such as Kandi Krush's stolen boxing gloves or the Mother Truckers going to jail, but those bits are often great too. Note that most WOW matches are 5 minutes or under with an occasional few going a little longer than that. Generally each episode is 4 matches.

Maclin/Speedball was a good quick opener. Jake Something looked good in an almost squash over Laredo Kid, wouldn't mind seeing him as X Champ. the PCO/Kon backstage bit was amusing, PCO always rules. Tasha and Xia continue to have fun short matches together. Solid trios main event, never realized til they said it here that Moose vs Young has never happened before.

Short episode of Honor tonight at just over an hour with only around 5 matches. Queen Aminata vs Taya was a great opener and I was pleasantly surprised by Aminata pulling the upset! Nice to see Mike Sydal back after he'd been gone from AEW for years now. Also cool to get a Taiji Ishimori appearance in for a quick squash. Blake Christian vs Komander was good stuff. Main event was fun with all the buildup and now Johnny TV has custody of The Boys.

Gambino/Aussie delivered the goods. Great win for Gambino to continue the streak. Rebel Haze and Fury as sort of a new Heavy Metal Sisters made for a fun team. Nice to see the Disciplinarian pick up the win though for IQ Superior Tiki/Gloria was a fun little match, felt like a big win for Tiki. The post-match backstage scene made me interested in a Gloria/Kandi Krush team even though I guess Kandi will be turning for it. Main event was a blast. The Fab 4 are always great. Back to back big wins for the Mother Truckers, nice setup for them getting the next tag title shot.

Nice additions for sure, but damn really stretching it out with the last pack not coming until November. Muta eventually being in is cool

WWE 2k24 DLC confirmed during RAW: Post Malone Kairi Sane Diamond Dallas Page Lex Luger The Dudley Boys Carlito Pat McAfee Jade Cargill Mr. Perfect CM Punk Full list to be revealed tomorrow

She was let go after the end of NXT UK in August 2022 and at the time said she hoped to be back in WWE one day, but I guess nothing came of it. TNA reached out in November 2023 and she's reportedly signed a 3 year deal.

Decent show overall. Young/Kazarian was a solid opener. ABC/GYV had a pretty great match ending their best of 3. Glad to see MK Ultra regain the knockouts tag titles, felt like they never should've lost them. Alexander/Gotch was good. Finish to the world title match felt weak. X Division title main eventing telegraphed the outcome there. Full results No Surrender:

Surprisingly they did not and only had one Impact match back in 2016 before Deonna was signed and this was their first since a 2017 ROH match. Felt random since it was Madison's first match since a one off appearance on ROH back in August. I feel bad for Madison since I thought she was really good at a couple different points in her career but more often than not now, people will see her recent years and conclude she's no good at all.

Love this idea, and would love to see them able to do it over a live Friday/Saturday block like when they have Battle of the Belts to do it 2 night true Crockett Cup style.

It's the One Year Anniversary episode of Honor on HonorClub! Taya vs Sussy Love was a real fun opener this week. Thought Sussy looked great, loved some of her unique moves throughout. Red Velvet vs Sandra Moone was also awesome, good near falls and a great finish. Fun to get a rare Danhausen match. Abadon/Viva Van is another solid one. Some great looking matches setup for round 2. Billie vs Robyn ruled. Loved Robyn's sunset power bomb to the outside, looked killer. Robyn and AR Fox are the 2 people to compete on episode 1 and now episode 52. Nice promos from Aminata and Billie later on. This week's 4 corner survival was pretty great. Exodus Prime fit right in with Sydal, Fox, and Komander, everybody had some good shine. Main event was suitably epic for a feud blowoff. Nice drama throughout and loved the visual of them surrounded by tables before the properly brutal looking finish. Another excellent Athena defense.

Good matches with some squashes mixed in. Fun main event, another great showcase for Kevin Knight, he was on fire and looked excellent in the closing stretch. Maclin/Seven was good stuff. Solid build to No Surrender

Supercard of Honor is confirmed for April 5 at the Liacouras Center in Philly.

Great opener and a fun main event with some solid stuff in between. Enjoyed Jake Hager being the big babyface save for the Oklahoma pop. Orange/Bennett was fun, also a shoutout to Orange/Taven last week being absolutely epic since I didn't catch up in time for last week's thread. I was wondering why Flair wasn't around for the big tag title win since his whole thing was being by Sting's side all through his final ride, so glad to see that come up. Thought Wardlow's promo was the most interesting he's been in awhile, but also expected someone to interrupt. Very much look forward to Danielson/Akiyama.

Full roster so far for WWE 2k24 of a little over 200 total. Looks to be about the usual. Still missing some confirmed names but this is the list 2K put up today.

Catching up on 2 weeks of WOW Crazy opening with the trios match ending in injury resulting in a no contest and basically saying they'll redo it later. I was surprised how much focus they put on it but it did give a realistic/live show vibe to things. Replaying it again later made it seem like an easy way to make it angle to put Coach back in the tournament since she was substituted in this match. Miami Sweet Heat vs. Mother Truckers was chaotic. Laurie busting out a Coast to Coast was awesome. I thought Miami would pull off the win here so was surprised by the result, but the finish was pretty much perfect with the Truckers blocking the double suicide dives with road signs, that ruled. Then Vicki & Penelope just beat them with trash cans afterwards. Very good main event from Abilene vs Aussie in the title rematch. Aussie's full nelson suplex and rana looked great, but Abilene still sneaks out the victory. Unique episode with 3 matches instead of the usual 4 and the main event getting a little more time. == Onto this past week, fun trios opener with some unique spots. Loved Genesis getting the big win and Exile finally seemingly being back on the same page as a unit. I wanna see them go all the way and win the trios titles. Beating Chainsaw was a great victory for GI Jane. Jessie Jones/Santana was a solid continuation of that feud. Gambino/Aussie next week should be awesome. Main event seemed to come out of nowhere coming off Miami Sweet Heat losing last week so I guess their punishment was only they weren't getting the 'first' title shot, but I love to see them regain the gold anyways, my favorite team. Fun match and heel work to steal the win.

Catching up on Impact, pretty good show. Another that packed a lot in with some shorter matches in between and some fun backstage bits. Kazarian/Jake was a real good opener. Dirty Dango bringing up Scott Norton made me wish they would bring him in. Fun main event and nice post-match chaos setting up next week and No Surrender.

Nice opener from Queen Aminata vs. J-Rod. Glad it wasn't a total squash and J-Rod got to look good for awhile. Aminata always kills it. Looks like a fun tournament, looking at the bracket I'm guessing a Billie vs Taya final. Leyla/Rachael was awesome. Nice story with the injury playing in to it, great finish. Would personally love to see Leyla as champ. Mercedes/Adora was very good too. Sad for Adora to get bounced in the first round but glad she had a great showing at least. Nice to see Kenny King back in ROH, short but solid match with Dalton. Great main event from Diamante and Kiera. Like Adora, I would've liked to see Kiera go further but an enjoyable match. The women's TV title tournament has definitely delivered the goods thus far. Looking forward to Athena/Nyla 2/3 falls tables match coming up.
