WHOAAAAAAAA OHHHH OH OH OHHHHHHHH!
It has been OVER A YEAR since Beyond has run anything from their home at the White Eagle in Worcester, MA. We have a limited number of fans in attendance. Temp checks and masks required. I’m not there but tuned in on IWTV. The card is a complete mystery. Paul Crockett & Sidney Bakabella are on commentary. LET’S GOOOOOOOOO!
Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan vs. Timothy Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa
This is our replacement for the MSK match but it’s non-title. Burch and Thatcher trade mat work to begin. Both guys tease tagging out but stay to fight more. Ciampa becomes legal and so does Oney soon after, changing the tide. Ciampa turns him inside out with a clothesline and tags in Thatcher for a tandem uppercut spot that gets two. Thatcher hits a belly to belly to lands grossly on a clothesline and rolls outside hurt going into break. Returning, Thatcher is back in and taking a single leg crab. He gets free and tags out, with Ciampa firing off clotheslines in each other for his opponents. Tag to Tim for uppercuts. He and Ciampa light up their opponents with vicious strikes.

Friends, pals, and acquaintances, I come bearing wonderful news. Yes, there is a pandemic that continues to ravage the country and the world, but nevertheless, NXT returns to our literal hearts this Sunday with the horrendously, yet perfectly, named Vengeance Day.
It is imperative that whenever you see the words Vengeance Day, you read it in your finest Vince McMahon voice. VENGEANCE DAY is here, complete with having a useless ‘a’ that makes it impossible for me to spell correctly.

Surpassing the sterling quality of its predecessor WCW World Tour, Revenge was a Nintendo 64 fixture in the musty basements of my shockingly abstinent teenage years. I’ll always love you intensely with a fire that burns.always.
SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN).
With last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite ending with the appearance of New Japan’s Kenta, and Tony Khan’s announcement that the Bullet Club member will team with Kenny Omega to face Lance Archer & Jon Moxley, the wrestling world is abuzz with the possibility of the “forbidden door” being opened.
Whether it’s AAA, Impact Wrestling, the NWA, ChocoPro, Tokyo Joshi Pro, or now apparently New Japan Pro Wrestling, Khan has adhered to his “all options on the table” mantra even during a pandemic. Given these recent developments, I wanted to point out a few New Japan wrestlers who fit, should COVID travel restrictions allow. I have also included for the uninitiated a few matches you can watch that sell you on why I think these wrestlers would be a great ambassador of New Japan to an AEW/American audience.
