WWL Weekly for 05/25/19 (BJ vs. Mendoza)
As usual with WWL, a new taping tends to present changes to the status quo. This week we have former TNA Spanish commentator Willie Urbina taking over the play by play spot next to longtime friend and partner Axel Cruz. As for the actual wrestling, let’s just say a pair of names left and the company traded up. This edition of the WWL Weekly features the main event of BJ facing Mike Mendoza. After a quick recap and the intro, we go to the opening match of the show. Sweet Nancy vs Genesis Nancy models herself after Monster Ripper who…

#Review WWL High Voltage 05/04/19
One of the things about covering Puerto Rico is that you’ll learn that most of the drama seems to come more from the backstage than from whatever happens on screen. See, last week a peculiar video surfaced showing the WWL Americas Champion Hombre Bestia throwing the title in a garbage bag. Why? He said he did not agree with working a hardcore match for $35. After chatting with both him and WWL, it became clear this was some sort of bid to have another company to give him a bigger paycheck. His agreement was specifically for that amount for any…
#Review WWL High Voltage for 04/27/19
WWL rolls on and it’s crunch time for their upcoming big show “Apuesta Letal”. The company is intentionally holding up matches in order to release them closer to the show to raise the hype. Today’s show has a big talking segment as World Champion BJ expresses himself after being attacked by Might Ursus and Mike Mendoza. After a recap of last week, Justin Dynamite tries to cut a promo but is immediately attacked by Mighty Ursus and we go to the intro.

WWL High Voltage for 04/20/19 | Review
Catching up on the slowly growing WWL High Voltage for 04/20/19 as they seem to be starting a new direction. Some stars are being pushed up the card, top stars are switching roles and the Tag Team scene, while not booming like before, it is gathering more bodies. A conspiracy seems to be afoot as Mike Mendoza, now a heel has been contacted for something. The Champion BJ, however, seems to not be paying much mind to it.

#Review WWC Superstars Of Wrestling 04/20/19
I am finally back to WWC Superstars Of Wrestling, which can be a very ‘old school’ company. By that, I mean that their TV show is still very much treated as simple ads for their live events. There may be promos and matches but the way they are treated is all in the name of getting the viewer to attend a show and not really about telling long-form storytelling. So very often, matches will re-air or entire episodes show matches from years past completely out of context just to fill the time slot. As long as those ads air for…
#Review WWL High Voltage 04/13/19
This is the WWL High Voltage before their next set of tapings titled “Fuera De Control” (Out Of Control). Things have kinda changed since the last episode as a big free agent has been brought in with Justin Dynamite. A very young but very talented second-generation wrestler who was mainly in CWA was crowned Champion but had a falling out with the company. Also, The Melendez Cousins might be on their way out as they might be moving to the US soon. They aren’t on the next set of tapings and a familiar face has seemingly taken their place. Here…
#Review WWL High Voltage 04/06/19
We continue to see what transpired at ‘Todo O Nada’ this week as well as develop the new top heel on the block, Mike Mendoza. Or is he something more complex? In today’s main event is what was thought to be a unification match between Super Cruisers Champion Mark Davidson and Americas Champion Hombre Bestia (Man-Beast) but its actually just a standard match with no gold on the line in this week’s edition of the WWL High Voltage review. After recapping LAX winning the Tag Team titles last week and the intro, we see the trio DOIT going around the…
#Review WWL High Voltage 03/30/19
