AEW Dark Elevation Episode 99- 1/23/2023 (women's matches)

 By Mark Rodriguez We get two cool matches this time as we see Skye Blue and Emi Sakura in action. We also see more of the current beef between Athena and Yuka Sakazaki. First Match- Skye Blue vs Zoe Dubois Both women grapple and Skye sends Zoe rolling along the mat. Zoe goes for a swing but Skye grabs her arm and gets her in an armdrag takeover. Skye runs towards the ropes, and flips over to the apron to avoid Zoe's strike. She then elbows her in the face. Skye climbs the ropes but Zoe tugs on them, making her stumble. With Skye dazed and up against the ropes, Zoe runs over and hits her with a high boot to the face. Zoe grabs her and hits her with an uppercut. Zoe hits Skye with a second uppercut and then gets into three consecutive rolling suplexes. She goes for the cover, but Skye is able to kick out. Zoe gets Skye up against the ropes and presses her boot up against her throat. As she does this, she leans back as if she was a swan. Zoe grabs onto Skye, but her opponent starts h

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

 By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy.  The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for

TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures # 3

 By Mark Rodriguez Anyone that's watched the original 80's cartoon would remember that their take on Casey Jones was the most unhinged version of the character. He was a crimefighting vigilante but he'd be just as brutal against litterbugs and jaywalkers as he would be against actual crooks and thugs, all while talking like Dirty Harry. So what happens when this version of Casey gets super powers? Let's find out. 'SuperCasey' opens with some thugs blowing up a building and running away. One of them says that's what they get for not paying their protection money. Another one says he thought they did this because they started selling those 'gross' kimchi empanadas. A voice tells them he actually loves those empanadas. The guys don't know where this guy came from but they say he's in for a beating.  Casey Jones is on the scene and one of the larger men takes a swing at him, almost breaking his hand as he hits him square in the chest. The guy sa

 By Mark Rodriguez   This week we get two matches for Dark Elevation and one for Dark, so I'll put them in the same article. Emi Sakura joins Nyla and Marina once again, but we'll see how that goes with their current situation with Vickie Guerrero. We also see The Vipress return to Dark Elevation. Let's check it out.  Match 1- "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose, "The Problem" Marina Shafir & Emi Sakura w/ Vickie Guerrero vs Johnnie Robbie, Vipress & Zyra The match opens with Robbie facing off against Nyla. The Native Beast grabs Robbie and knees her in the midsection. She then swings her fist down upon her back. Nyla gets her in a headlock and drags her over to her corner where she tags in Emi. This surprises Marina who was expecting the tag.  Emi whips Robbie over to the ropes and hits her with a harsh chop to the chest. After delivering a second chop, she backs up and runs into her with the Flying Crossbody. Emi goes over to tag in Nyla, ignoring Mar
