Welcome to this week’s NXT UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the WWE’s rip-off version of Progress/OTT/World Of Sport (the good version)/Insane Championship Wrestling (if you squint real hard) stumbling along helplessly like Mark Wahlberg in San Francisco’s “Rainbow District”. We’ve got enough of very little to talk about, […]
Stars: Cress Williams, China Anne McClain, Nafessa Williams, Christine Adams, James Remar, Marvin Jones III, Damon Gupton | Developed by Salim Akil Black Lightning is back, and the series is taking a drastic turn in not only the storyline but also the look. Whether it’s the film they are using or how they are shooting […]
The Bump debuted last week, a new TMZ/After Buzz feeling chat-show style program that goes out on YouTube, social-media and the WWE Network each week. I reviewed it here and spoke about how much I liked it, appreciated the fresh feel and new concept, and thought it worked well in an age where FOX is […]
Welcome to this week’s All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Crank Yankers! Okay, this is the second week of Dynamite, so if they blow it then I’ll blow my top. Why do I feel like the female readers (they may not exist) just shuddered at the […]
Welcome to this week’s NXT review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Chicken Kabobs are pretty damn good. On LA Law, a man eats his wife’s face…with hilarious consequences! Then, on…I just read TV Guide. Sorry. Okay, NXT looks like a winner this week, so let’s see if I’m right/I already know and […]
Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have…no actual matches. What we have are extended clips from the lucha libre stars of CMLL, which means that the ROH TV editors didn’t listen to a word I said last week. Well, they probably don’t read these […]
Having seen the other two seasons of Big Mouth I was very excited for the third season to finally be released on Netflix. If you haven’t heard of the show, it’s an animated series that deals with a very important period in a child’s development – namely puberty – but also deals with many other […]
Stars: Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Nicole Kang—Mary Hamilton, Camrus Johnson, Elizabeth Anweis, Dougray Scott | Created by Caroline Dries You may know me from my weekly review of Black Lightning (also on the CW network) but being an avid Batman fan, both comics and film, I was interested when a Batwoman television series […]
Welcome to this week’s Monday Night Raw review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Hell In A Cell was doing good, until it took a nose-dive into Hell itself. You don’t have a DQ in a Steel Cage Match. You know you screwed-up when a porno company takes the time to humiliate you […]
To celebrate the release of Vikings: Season 5 Volume 2 – available on Blu-ray and DVD on 7th October – we are giving away a DVD. Catch up on the latest of the popular franchise before the new season premieres later this year and enjoy the internationally broadcast extended episodes and special features including deleted […]
Welcome to this week’s Major League Wrestling: Fusion review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have lots of wrestling to get to, so get your copy of “The Last Waltz” ready, because it’s time to dance, mama. Match #1: LA Park & El Hijo de LA Park defeated Septimo Dragon & Magnus […]
Welcome to this week’s Impact Wrestling review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and…wrestling is cool. No weddings this week, which is good. Wrestling. Just have wrestling matches. No weddings! Okay. Wrestling. Now. Match #1: Tenille Dashwood def. Madison Rayne & Kiera Hogan The following is courtesy of impactwrestling.com: Kiera and Madison work together […]
Table for Three is a great original show idea and I’ve enjoyed watching each episodes over the past five seasons or so. The new episode which landed this week was titled “General Managers Special” and features Eric Bischoff, Kurt Angle and Vickie Guerrero. Now, if you’ve been a fan of WWE over the past couple […]
Welcome to this week’s Friday Night Smackdown review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the return of Smackdown to Friday and the debut of Smackdown to FOX. We’ve got a few big matches to get to, including Brock Lesnar fighting Kofi Kingston for the WWE World Title. Free Hat! Let’s see […]
Welcome to this week’s NXT UK review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Joaquin Phoenix wearing a green wig and playing with those creepy little girls from The Shining. Who in the hell would play with them? This has been a pretty good week for wrestling, so I suppose the European […]
The Netflix original The Politician is a fascinating look into the possible consequences of unhealthy obsessions with ambition and determination which is something not many TV shows look into. Too many times we see a determined character who risks friendships, relationships, family etc to achieve the thing they crave and they achieve their dreams making […]
I’ve been clamouring for a talk-show style show in WWE for some time. A show like a late-night chat program where wrestlers are interviewed and the current product is discussed in a playfully casual manner. Finally, we’ve got just that. The Bump, which aired this week on the WWE Network, is hosted by WWE backstage […]
I have been waiting for a new Jeff Dunham comedy special for the longest time and finally Beside Himself was put on Netflix, a special for which I could not be more excited. The title is obviously a pun and shows the intelligence and comedy of the show itself. Beside himself as a phrase describes […]
Welcome to this debut of All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this is the debut All Elite Wrestling’s weekly Wednesday night broadcast on TNT. This is a big moment for wrestling, as the last attempt at getting a new competitor on national TV, Total Non-Stop Action Wrestling, failed despite […]
Welcome to this week’s NXT review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the full two hours on USA, so let’s see if NXT can kick All Elite Wrestling’s ass…or not. I love monkeys! Match #1: Adam Cole def. Matt Riddle – NXT Championship Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com: Adam […]
Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Defy Or Deny in the main event, so enjoy four of ROH’s prime stars fighting for the right to be the best. Match #1: Soldiers of Savagery (Moses and Kaun) beat Sal Rinauro and Michael Stevens The […]
Photo Shoot is another one of those easy-breezy but entertaining original programs on the WWE Network. It’s simple in concept and execution. You take a WWE talent, man or woman, legend or current member of the roster, and you sit them down in front of television and show them a bunch of photographs from their […]
