Seven years ago today, I started this Hammy Reviews blog! So what better day to start a new feature. ‘Reciews of Wrestling Matches’ covers, well, my reviews of wrestling matches. I’ve always been a WWE fan, but I’m pushing myself to watch other promotions (I have neglected Japanese wrestling, for example). Being a subscriber to the WWE Network, the majority of these mini-reviews will be of WWE/WCW/ECW matches. But I’m trying to get into AEW, and I’ve subscribed NJPW World…and there’s always Youtube to look at other wrestling promotions.
Of course, I’ll give them a star rating (out of five…and that rating will not go over five…). So here we go…
(Concurrently, I started to work my way through the NJPW matches in the wrestling magazine ‘Inside The Ropes’ list of 100 Greatest Matches of The Decade 2011-2021. Click here for the list and my reviews)
