AEW Dark and Dark Elevation have ended for the time being.

This in part has to do with AEW signing a new deal for AEW Collision to air on Saturdays.

Part of the new deal is that AEW Wrestling content will exclusively air on WBD.

As of today, this doesn't include ROH. pic.twitter.com/9O5JyheIL8

Not surprised but disappointed to hear that we’re losing one outlet for all their guys to get work in. Luckily there’s still indie deals for super green young guys like the Outrunners to continue improving.

The SmarK Rant for ECW Wrestling on TNN – 01.28.00

I didn’t have “ECW on TNN in 2000 getting kinda good in January” on my bingo card, but here we are.

The SmarK Rant for WWF Rebellion 99 – 10.02.99

Continuing our journey through the UK-exclusive PPVs on the Network, and hopefully this one is better than the first one.  Once again, no idea what’s on this show, we’re going in totally blind.

The SmarK Rant for Memphis Wrestling – 11.11.78

Once again, THANK YOU to KrisPLettuce for the amazing Google Drive of awesomeness.  Starting with these shows from as early as he’s got.  Look him up on Twitter at @KrisPLettuce and for $12 you get access to EVERYTHING.  ALL OF THE STUFF.  Or just send to [email protected] via Paypal.  Are you a wrestling nerd?  You will not regret it.  Plus then you can follow along with all the crazy reviewing tangents we’re going to be departing onto.

Taped from Memphis, TN

The SmarK Rant for Stampede Wrestling – 01.16.87

I’m home.

Taped from Calgary, AB

Your hosts are Ed Whalen and Jim Davies.

The SmarK Rant for AEW Rampage – 04.28.23

Taped from Sunrise, FL

Your hosts are Jim Ross, Excalibur & Tony Schiavone

The SmarK Rant for WCW Worldwide Wrestling – 03.02.91

OK, let’s switch over to these, since the Power Hour shows weren’t airing new matches anyway.

The SmarK Rant for AEW Dynamite – 04.26.23

Live from Sunrise, FL

Your hosts are Excalibur, Tony Schiavone & Taz

The SmarK Rant for Lucha Underground – S01E33

“Death v. The Dragon”

Taped from the Aztec Temple

Your hosts are Matt Striker & Vampiro

The SmarK Rant for Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling – 11.13.82

Taped from Charlotte, NC

Your host is Bob Caudle

The SmarK Rant for ECW Wrestling on TNN – 01.21.00

Taped from the Bingo Hall.  I know TNN wanted them to bounce around to different places for the sake of keeping it fresh, but it feels like they completed wasted their Center Stage tapings from last week.  You could easily have taped 3 or 4 weeks of stuff and stretched it out a bit.

The SmarK Rant for AEW Rampage – 04.22.23

Taped from Pittsburgh, PA

Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross & Excalibur

The SmarK Rant for WCW Power Hour – 02.16.91

No Rampage tonight throws off my whole mojo.  Well, might as well review some WCW.

The SmarK Rant for WWF No Mercy 1999 (UK Version) – 05.16.99

So another crazy thing about the WWE Network is all the stuff that I didn’t even realize was on there, for example all the UK-only PPVs that I never watched and reviewed in the first place.  So we might as well start going back and getting those all knocked out, too.  Suffice it to say, I’m going into these completely blind and I have no idea what we’re gonna get.

Live from Manchester, UK, drawing 18,000 and broadcast on Sky Sports.

Your hosts are Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler

The SmarK Rant for AEW Dynamite – 04.19.23

Hey Scott-

Any chance you’re still going to review Supercard from this year?

I already did buy the show, but I’m thinking that the moment has passed and there wouldn’t be much point now.  Plus frankly there’s not a lot of interest in ROH in general at the moment.  And I’m not really wanting to watch the Dante thing.

Live from Pittsburgh, PA

Your hosts are Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone

The SmarK Rant for Lucha Underground – S01E32

“All Night Long”

(06.17.15)

I always forget about this show when I’m looking for something to watch on random nights like tonight.  Just got a few episodes left to wrap up season 1 and I PROMISE I will try to get it done.

The SmarK Rant for Coliseum Video presents German Fan Favorites II

This was a random request from a reader because he thought I might enjoy it.  So weird that they’re still missing huge chunks of the Coliseum Video catalog on the Network and chose to put a random compilation released for the European market on there.  Also where’s German Fan Favorites part 1?

Released October 24 1994

Hosted by Gorilla Monsoon, who really loves the German fans.

My first induction for Wrestlecrap!  Share and enjoy.

The SmarK Rant for ECW Wrestling on TNN – 01.14.00

Taped from Center Stage in Atlanta, GA, on January 7, which is actually a really good fit for them.  Unfortunately whoever set up the production ruined whatever personality the arena has and made it look like just another ECW show.

The SmarK Rant for AEW Rampage – 04.14.23

Well now that I got Smackdown out of my system, might as well catch up on AEW again.

Taped from Milwaukee, WI

Your hosts are Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross & Excalibur
