It’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at Ring of Honor’s “Women of Honor” offshoot, so this week on Random Reviews… you can guess where we’re headed!

For a while, November used to be “that month where wrestling companies start to wind down towards Christmas”. Not this year.
We wrap up our look at the first half of 2016 by casting an eye over a select group of indie promotions from around the world.
When I first started really following independent wrestling in 2004, the first promotion I started watching was Ring of Honor. Seeing my first show live in the front row (okay, next to the aisle), it was a night-and-day change from the WWE product that I’d been watching for over a decade by that point.
Whilst this weekend was undoubtedly headlined by WrestleMania – and with a WWE-record attendance in Dallas, how could it not – a lot of eyeballs were also directed towards the independent scene this weekend. Would they also make it big in Texas?
We’re barely 24 hours away from the start of the long weekend of wrestling, and thanks to WWE, NXT and the litany of independent promotions live-streaming shows, you’re spoiled for choice – but with all of this choice, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle. So, what’s on each show that’s gotten me excited… and worried?
Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ll be aware that it’s WrestleMania weekend – but despite WWE’s best efforts to ensure that they are the only game in town, there are plenty of other shows ongoing that you’ll be able to watch in person and online. Just in case the three-hours of NXT, six-plus hours of WrestleMania as well as the Hall of Fame isn’t enough, we’re taking a quick look at some of the other events going down across the weekend – some of which we’ll be recapping once the dust has settled.
It’s that time again, as we continue our search on the world wide web for the freely available gems of matches that can provide a quick distraction from what the WWE is currently churning out. This time, we take a look at two women’s matches, some comic book wrestling, and something from the early days of a promotion that seems to be perpetually at death’s door.
