Flashback : RoH Reloaded 2016 : Jushin Thunder Liger vs Dalton Castle

Jushin Thunder Liger is a true living legend of the wrestling business and has had a storied career across every major wrestling promotion in the world. The current Ring of Honor world champion, Dalton Castle has all the makings of a major star with his flamboyant persona and charismatic in ring style. So when these two fan favourites collided in the RoH Reloaded 2016 tour, the fans were in for a very entertaining bout that mixed some light hearted moments with some exciting wrestling (how about Liger pulling off the top rope rana at his age?!). 


As the fans in attendance chanted at the beginning of the match "We're not worthy".

Flashback : Impact vs Lucha Underground 2018 - Austin Aries vs Pentagon Junior vs Fenix

With their most recent change in management, Impact Wrestling has been slowly and steadily been improving their wrestling product and their Wrestlemania weekend crossover event with Lucha Underground held a lot of promise on what was a packed few days of wrestling.

The main event had Alberto El Patron and Pentagon Junior face off against the team of Impact World champion Austin Aries and Fenix but Alberto infamously no showed their event which led to plans being changed and the main event being changed to a 3 way at the last minute. And what a match it was. It is easy to get carried away with booking matches that are just too long with way too many false finishes (especially on Wrestlemania weekend where every show is trying to one up the other) but this one was short and exciting enough to build anticipation for the just concluded Redemption PPV. 


If Impact Wrestling can capitalize on the popularity of lucha stars like Pentagon Junior, Fenix, Drago etc, wrestling fans are in for a treat!
