Before THE BELL • TAM NAKANO suplexes SAYA KAMITANI during their World of Stardom title bout last December. Check out “Ringside” for news from the recent career-vs.-career match between the two.

Media Review • Released just before this year’s ’Mania in Las Vegas, a new WWE-Peacock documentary offers up some memorable behind-the-scenes snapshots and candid interviews.

Names Makin’ News • Here’s a list of the TOP 10 WRESTLING-RELATED ITEMS you’ve been talking about lately and our gut reactions to each:

Ringside • The departures of TETSUYA NAITO, BUSHI, JEFF COBB, and TAM NAKANO from the Japanese scene are concerning, but CALLUM NEWMAN, YOTA TSUJI, SAYA KAMITANI, and others are ascending.

Quick Count • WrestleMania Week in Las Vegas brought good fortune, bad luck, and pleasant surprises.

The Lockup • More than a stepping stone to future singles glory, the term “tag team specialist” once represented a noble pursuit all its own.

Win, Lose, Or Draw • BRAD ARMSTRONG, BIG VAN VADER, and JOHNNY B. BADD will never headline Mid-Atlantic Territory Wrestling, but CHASE EMERY, MANOWAR, and PARTY McFLY are rekindling the same magic.
