Wrestling is usually best when it's simple. Because when it's complicated, it just ends up confusing. As was the case in both TNA and AAA this week. TNA Lockdown was a pay per view event that asked more questions than it answered. What was the point of the all-cage match gimmick? Why was there so much interference in these cage matches? Why did so many of them need "creative" finishes that left viewers scratching their heads? And perhaps most importantly, why did so many babyfaces lose in such humiliating fashion? Meanwhile, AAA delivers a tournament match that is not the advertised tournament

That's what I will do today, I will show you multiple paths all the way from Col. James H. McLaughlin (and even before!) up to the current W
Wrestling Observer Live with Jim Valley. ROH's Death By Dishonor Friday night was an outstanding in-ring wrestling event.

We should call him 'The Finish' Sami Zayn, because you tell when his interference is going to lead to the finish of a main event. Plus, Hiromu Takahahi's new WWE name, Ilja Dragonov, Giulia, live AEW Collision preview, AAA, CMLL and muc
