WoW (Women of Wrestling) Season 8 Episode 1 Review

 By Mark Rodriguez Women of Wrestling has been around for several years but now thanks to AJ Lee it came back with all new episodes in 2022. Let's check out the first episode of their epic comeback as heroes face villains.  Match 1- Chantilly Chella & Randi Rah Rah vs The Tonga Twins Randi starts the first round of the tag team tournament match grappling with one of the twins and is slammed to the mat. Randi leaps onto the back of her opponent but is easily pulled off with a snapmare. The Tonga Twin grabs Randy for a hip toss but she lands on her feet. The Cheerleader sends her to the mat with a flying headscissors.  The Twin tags her sister in (the commentary really isn't a good job helping us tell Kaoz and Kona apart) and Randi trips her down. The Tonga Twin tries to pick her up but Randi flips back to her feet. Randi takes this chance to tag in Chantilly. Chantilly throws some kicks and the follows up with a dropkick that barely moves her larger opponent back. Chantilly

AEW Dark Episode 162 (Women's Matches)

 By Mark Rodriguez We got a couple of interesting matches in this episode of Dark. Kilynn King and Madison Rayne back in action and La Rosa Negra also shows up. I'll probably be doing reviews of Dark and Dark Elevation on and off from now on.  Match 1- Emi Sakura w/ Baliyan Akki vs Avery Breaux Avery goes for a handshake but Emi slaps her hand away and then claps her hands against her face three times, knocking her back. Avery fires back with a standing dropkick, knocking her opponent down. Avery poses for the crowd but Emi grabs her by the hair and tosses her across the ring. Emi gets Avery's leg tangled on the rope and sits on her, having some 'tea' with Baliyan.  Avery angrily gets up and socks Emi in the face twice, that barely phases her. Emi sends her reeling back with a harsh chop across the chest. Emi lets Avery hit her two more times, laughing them off. Emi then fakes her out with an incoming chop but rakes her eyes instead. Emi then grabs her arm and bites int

IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures #11

Originally by Paige with thoughts by Mark Rodriguez This comic features 3 stories, sort of. And hey, Shredder is on the cover. Will the Turtles finally face the big bad? Let's find out. Partners Mikey is in his own little world and finds a comic he's been looking for in the trash. It's the origin story of his favorite superhero. He reenacts the hero's different moves, even renames one of the moves "turtle-nado". While he was messing around, he hits a Footbot knocking it against the wall. This knocks out the robot's processor. When it reboots it scans Mikey as a friend... Mikey continues his "Sharknado", I mean turtle-nado, right in front of a oncoming truck. Oh noes! Mikey doesn't even notice the headlights or the blaring horn. Suddenly, the Footbot pulls him out of the way. He thanks the robot, but is stunned to why it saved him. Mikey wonders if he was considered part of the Foot. He tries to run, but the robot follows behind

After finding weaknesses within Krang, they now go after Baxter Stockman.  Shredder and Kitsune, in spirit form, arrive in front of Baxter Stockman, the current New York City Mayor.

Months ago in TCRI Stockman and Flood are checking over their specimens and expected delivery. Ms. Flood reminds Stockman that she has holiday vacation coming up which he already approved.

AEW Dark Elevation Episode 79 (Women's Matches)

 By Mark Rodriguez We got four matches this week as Madison Rayne enters the mix and we also get to see Skye face off against Diamante. Match 1- House of Black's Julia Hart vs Alice Crowley This match kicks things off as Julia Hart comes in with a slightly new look and her own theme music now (rather than the shared theme for the House of Black members). Julia gives Alice the cold dark stare, freaking her out a little. Both women lock up and Alice grabs Julia's arm. Julia grabs her opponent by the hair and gets her up against the turnbuckle. Julie goes for a swing but misses, and Alice gets her up against the ropes and gets in several hits.  Alice goes to Julia and tries to grab her but Julia grabs her by the hair again and throws her onto her back. Julia hits her with the standing moonsault but then gets up to break her own pin, getting Alice in a headlock. Julia gets Alice back to her feet but her opponent socks her in the face. Alice goes for the ropes but as she bounces bac
