- Alright it's time for me to try and find some modern wrestling fun once again as a wrestling fan from the attitude era. I've found it difficult so far, but now I have a new mentality which will help me. This week we watched AEW Dynamite, WWE Raw, TNA Impact and MLW. I had a lot of fun watching and reviewing these shows. Let The Hawk know which show you found the most enjoyable overall!

Apologies for the mic. I just got a new one but haven’t found the time to perfect it yet. I won’t smack it one…yet.
Your fine on the mic quality it doesn't sound like it crackles or boggle my ears anyways why isn't smackdown & nxt included in these weekly wrestling reviews
A nice microphone isn't going to fix that voice.
I don't mind the mic, just glad you're making more of these.
😄👍
Dude your commentary is half the reason I can watch modern and mid life crisis a wild slap nuts matches you don't have to apologize it is a great review even if the damn mic decided to f off at some point
Just wanted to let you know at 27:38 they went on commercial break. You probably saw the fite tv broadcast
Honestly, Jarrett has been pretty great in AEW. He plays the "old school heel" role perfectly.
He is fun to watch!
Hes been great.
The crowd hates him (hes a heel)
@@hia5235 Ain't he great? Well you finally answered that haha. I've never had a hate for Jarrett. He plays the villain great. Sure he held the title too long, but so did Triple H. And people can defend him all day, the reign of terror still sucked and WWE went downhill because of it. Difference is, when Jeff was on top, TNA was must watch regardless
I took a "I paid 400 dimes to see Jeff Jarrett" sign last month, but it didn't get on tv.
@@ShaneSpear02 hahahahaha!!!!!!! never drew a dime...
What’s funny is that Jeff has been super popular in AEW. He’s not tried to put himself in the spotlight and it’s been fun
Jeff is actually a great hand and a wrestler genius, he's just incredibly selfish usually.
"He’s not tried to put himself in the spotlight and it’s been fun"
its because he CAN'T...... Justin are u that much of a fking *mark*
SOOO MANY Things I want to say but this website won't allow it..
I remember when I went to Dynamite/Rampage live in San Antonio a few months ago, Jarrett got Insane Heat, proving he's still a Master of Old school Heel schtick
How can he even put himself in the spotlight when he is not in charge lmao
Feuding with cassidy is perfect for him, not mention I already really Sanja dutt
Genuinely finding this new "positive outlook" to be quite funny, there's a few times i can literally hear what really wants to be said almost come out, just to be replaced with something like "I'm fine with anyone doing a Samoan Drop."
😆👍
The new POSITIVE HAWK persona made the Jeff Jarrett segment genius. I'm laughing my butt off for several minutes.
SAIA DA MINHA TV IMEDIATAMENTE
The moment he went into the mini rant about JJ ruining his life, I knew he was gonna lose it when he showed up in AEW
Jeff Jarrett has been booked surprisingly well in aew, I'm really enjoying his run there so far.
MY WORLD! MY WORLD!
Choke on that slapnuts
@@baconoftheark don't piss me off
I've also being enjoying Jeff Jarrett in AEW. I do think alot of it is because he's working with jay lethal. Lethal is criminally underrated.
Honestly part of me even wants to see him take one of the secondary belts like when he faced OC for the International title. He does great heel work and being able to flaunt any belt would be nice heel work for him and whatever his stable is called plus he’s dirty enough that it doesn’t feel like a burial for him to go over younger wrestlers (helps that he’s in nice enough shape he could easily pass for being ten years younger)
Every time I see Jarrett on AEW I think of this channel😂
when he comes out on dynamite or rampage... they need to incorporate the crowd going "A wild Slapnuts appears!!!" sorta like "adam cole bay bay!!!"
My absolute favorite wrestling series along with OSW and Deadlock Sync. Great video.
OSW, Marky and CorporateCian the only wrestling yt guys worth keeping up with. Love Deadlock as well, just prefer these video formats over the podcast audio. They're great though
Osw is great
@Robbie Doyle I think you'd love the Deadlock Sync series. Someone went and added the footage they talk about akin to OSW
To let you know about Gargano and Lumis, they've been connected as characters for about 2 years now. In nxt Johnny led a heel faction called The Way, with himself, wife Candice, "son" Austin Theory and "daughter" Indi Hartwell. At some point Indi was fixated with Dexter, he just revved her motor, and he psychotically developed feelings for her as well, and Gargano started acting like a dad who didn't want his daughter to go out with a particular dude. Eventually they married, and after a while he was accepted into the family. Basically Dexter is Gargano's fake son-in-law, and that's not really the story anymore but they've been associated regularly enough since Lumis debuted on Raw.
Who cares
@@vsorah Shut up.
@@vsorah he was telling the guy who was confused on why there together
@@vsorah Potentially Marky, he might not, but he might. Literally only takes 2 seconds to read, he'll smack me one if those 2 seconds annoyed him
It still doesn’t feel right that Gargano is with Dexter though. The Way doesn’t exist anymore and Indi isn’t even on the main roster yet. They are just two extremely different people hanging out with each other for no reason now. It’s clear that they had no idea what to do with Dexter since bringing him back
In all fairness, the longevity of Double J is insane. He was wrestling when I was a kid and he’s still wrestling now. It’s just crazy. Same with Jericho and Orton.
Funfact_ Jarett has more lost in AEW than he ever had in TNA! LUL
AEW is just TNA 2.1
@@mikejones4830 if that was true, Jarrett would be world champion
This is not fact...absolute fiction.
Jarrett had 140 wins, 147 losses and 11 no contests in his TNA career...
Glad to u see back the Hawk back and Jeff in AEW it’s been surprisingly fun it’s truly his world
TNA wasn't? Haha love Jeff
@@I_Am_The_Social_Reject TNA crowd are frowning during Slapnuts' reign of terror
@@omellemmor4732 Nah TNA was the hottest during that reign. Unlike the infamous reign of 2002 where WWE started going down hard
Omos doing a 450 would be fucking insane
J-E-F-F J-A-R-R-E-T-T!
Wild Slapn@ts appears!!!
Haven't seen these shows last week, but from your review of them, it makes me glad that AEW is still going strong with it's wrestling prowess especially since I've been missing out a whole lot. But on the more important thing, welcome back home Hawk! We miss you and your J.O.B!
Jarrett has been great in AEW.
The moment when Lethal and Jarrett won the tag titles for 1 minute from The Acclaimed until Aubrey noticed them cheating was just awesome
Tommy Dreamer looks like a Tommy Dreamer action figure someone left on a radiator. I swear he aged 20 year since I last saw him in 2019
“Lots of people did it for The Rock tonight” 🤣
Everytime Kai-n-sky come out, there should be a deep, loud,... "Indeed."
Owens and Sami are more akin to Triple H and Shawn Michaels of this generation. Owens cheated his way to the top and Sami has always used his talent.
This is probably my favorite series on the channel, I’d love to see more.
Owens has good chemistry with almost anyone he works with looking extremely dangerous but relatively safe if trained or tough enough Sami must be H then extremely tough wonder what his favorite heavy metal bass guitarist if it is Lemmy Kilmister then the comparison is good
I somewhat Disagree Ciampa and Gargano felt more like Hunter and Shawn
I was at the Raw in this video and there definitely was a Johnny Wrestling chant.
I heard that too. These two guys really gave their all.
So happy to see you commentate on AEW!! When Slapnuts first arrived in AEW I laughed and said out loud "NOOOO!!! A WILD SLAPNUTS APPEARS!"
I'm loving the debut of "Positively Hawk" LOL!
You know what I miss more than anything from wrestling?
Jerry saying puppies. I'm easily pleased.
Plz don’t get me wrong i love the new attitude hawk but the negative one was so fucking funny when he keeps roasting everyone 😂
Keep up the great content Marky! Love seeing you come round to AEW. Not all of it will be up your alley, but a lot will be.
31:14 This is why we’re here
I almost wanna see JJ win something so the Hawk has an aneurysm but I don't want the Hawk to die so hopefully he doesn't win.
Johnny Gargano & dexter lumis are part of a family faction called the way with Candace lerae & indi hartwell from nxt
I was rooting for JJ, actually I want him to capture gold. Love seeing him work. Also I like Taya.
Sarcastic pretend to be happy and loving it Marky is hilarious
The Swanton bit did it for me
Thank you marky for motivating me, to work out and not be like another statistic on being a Fat Boy fan, I’m in college now, (Uni) down to 195 and talking to chicks now, I haven’t been up to date with the times for the past 4 months, but keeping up on sites. Sometimes I wonder the sport that we love the most, why don’t we treat it with more respect by everyone in the front row, for Christ sake, folks like marky, Cage, and any other heavyweights motivate me to be a better and healthier self. I’m rabbling and having my self “The Flower” but thanks marky for the motivation to be a Healthy body wrestling fan. Anyone else SHUV IT.
Wtf is wrong with you?
It’s not just a hawk gimmick 😂
“Jericho and Omega both look like Randy The Ram” had me weak.
I thought Jordyn was the stuff until she became entirely tooo buff
Same. It’s weird because that’s the sort of look that’s popular with women nowadays too. They aspire to be a bit more curved.
I was crying at the Jeff Jarrett commentary, that was hilarious.
I agree with you about Piper Niven, less is more is better with her. She could be a dominant force if used right.
Back in NXT Dexter Lumis was Gargano’s son in law.
Love seeing Slice Boogie. Got to meet him at an MLW show in Charlotte, NC. Him and Danny Rivera are some of the most humble, funny, and most down to Earth guys to ever be around. Also SN: MLW is no longer available on UA-cam. It's exclusively on REELZ.
Is MLW not on Pro Wrestling TV anymore either
It’s on sky tv in the uk which is pretty cool too
@@fifedogg511 older episodes are, but I'm not sure if they still are over there given it's been a couple months since I checked.
@@Markyd123 sadly I live in North Carolina in the U.S.A. so I gotta figure something out because this is my favorite promotion on the planet right now.
MJF, even though he's a heel gets cheered because he's too good
The best in the world at being a vanilla midget who can’t do anything but cheap heel heat on the mic.
Went 60 mins w bryan danielson... and is actually a goat at the age of 26
Fans are so annoying when they refuse to play along with the characters. He's a heel. He's meant to be booed. Smarky wankers 🙄
3:58 Imagine it's Lex Luger said "I DON'T KNOWWWW" 😆
@Markyd123 I really like watching Taya Valkerie, especially her big...... moves!! I will definitely watch Taya vs Jade for the TNA aspect of it.... In the ring however, I've never seen Taya do anything impressive. She's slow and her moves don't look great. She lacks intensity in the ring and nothing ever looks like it really connects. That being said, I do respect her modesty in her choice of ring gear. You can tell by her gear that she wants you to pay attention to the match in the ring and not just stare at her boobs.
Thanks nobody else has really answered that question!
Jericho was a student of Stu Hart at the Dungeon too.
PCO is my favourite part of Impact. Lately I fast-forward to PCO's segment and then I'm done.
Lumis is Gargano’s “son in law”
Later black and gold NXT got weird
BTW, apparently Slapnuts was offered the AEW International Championship, but declined.
Things have really chanhed
The reason Jarrett lost to OC is b/c the owner is a mark and OC is his favorite “wrestler”.
Loves how you called Eddie Edwards slapnuts 🤣🤣
dude.... I like Cody but if that's the guy headlining WM then its pretty much official the business is DED for now.....
Really? Because I can't stand reigns. He was forced down our throats for years. They need a change
@@rickjustus6416 cody rhodes .... signs a deal with WWE and is immediately handed the main event of the following years WM. kinda whack
@@heyyoitsmebrian but yo, he went out there with that torn pec. You ever torn your pec? Cmon now. You know they make deals with superstars. He didn't just arrive. Hes been around for 20 years.
I can't take any grown man with a lisp seriously.
I think at this point you have to accept the Jeff Jarrett, become the Jeff Jarrett. Then, and only then will you be free of the Jeff Jarrett because you and him will be one. On a serious note, I have an idea for a video. I know you do the, 'Was It Any Good?' series but how about an 'Are They Doing Any Good?' series. Pick any current wrestler, pick a time frame (3 months, 6 months etc...) and give your opinion on what they're doing right, wrong, different writing direction or whatever you want. Then, you could come back in a few months to see if things changed. I'd love to see your take on the current run of PCO
Got to admit... loving the new positive Hawk. I started enjoying modern wrestling so much more once I adopted a similar approach to it.
Dude for his age he is getting down and his storyline with the piece of fruit is entertaining positive attitude just in some fun wrestling would be a refreshing change I can't even listen to Cornett anymore
Ngl Jordan Grayce is now more man than women and I'm not the only thinking that surely
MarkyD commenting on JJ’s new stuff is what I needed in my life.
Btw, I’d love to hear your opinion on Orange Cassidy’s current run as AEW ‘all something’ champion. I think he’s inexplicably been booked stronger than Jarret’s early TNA run and Triple H’s early 2000’s championship burialfest.
Who'd Orange bury?
@@KruelAidMan doesn’t he have a 10-20 match win streak as champion. He’s wins every week doing the same sh*t. He’s a comedy gimmick wrestler who is booked like a giant slayer (he’s beaten Big Cass, the Butcher, Ethan Page, Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, among others). TK books him like prime hogan or early TNA Jeff Jarrett.
@@Somethingelseentirelydifferent a champion who actually wins matches? Perish the thought.
>giant
>Lethal
>Jarrett
lol MJF said he doesn't need legends to succeed. Guess kayfabe wise he got a perfect memory span of an ideal WWE fan from Vince's standpoint.
Another banger, please keep this series going!
Do you not think there's already more than enough coverage of modern wrestling out there?
Kinda prefer the old negative bird to be honest - the beak had more venom.
Taya Valkrie's gonna be the new Wild Slapnuts at this rate
Hawk anytime I hear or see Jarrett mentioned I think of you. You are now linked to JJ.
I'll say Jarrett should've won that match. He's been fantastic in AEW, and weirdly enough, he doesn't feel out of place.
The Samoans in MLW would be a serious gain to the Bloodline if WWE could get them
Now I know you dont do research but the bloodline storyline is worth the watch. A cool video idea would be doing a ring of the hawk type of review of the WWE's Bloodline supercut on youtube.
I do know a bit about this one. It was the only thing that interested me last time I watched
I second the idea
Third the idea
they did this "amazing" long term storytelling for Sami Zayn .... and the ultimate payoff is him winning the very meaningless tag team titles. when every fan 2 months ago was like "nooo noooo..... theyll make Roman defend 1 title saturday night(Sami) and 1 title sunday night(Cody)"
@@heyyoitsmebrian Its great either way because every part of the bloodline storyline is great
R-Truth in the tennis fit will always get me to pop!
Loving the hat. GO HAWKS!
Jarrett's been surprisingly enjoyable in AEW. He's really injected new life into Jay Lethal's group. I think Satnam Singh has been quite entertaining to watch.
“Jack Swagger is here” that shouldn’t of killed me
Why was he dressed like that and is legs are so long and skinny 😂😂
I've seen Jordynne Grace's new look and the nickname you gave her is on point.
28:35 this is my favorite running joke. Bubba Ray getting jump scared and Kurt Angle just looking on concerned, as Jeff complains about people doing his move 😂
I hope someday you can make a clip show of NWA, Memphis Wrestling, Reality Of Wrestling and UWN. Those are just fun to watch. Especially Memphis as you know those guys have regular jobs.
"Atleast King looks like a witch" 😂
Why do I feel like half the things Hawk says are meant sarcastically
Here is some AEW freakazoid context: Jungleboy, Guevara, Darby, and MJF have a narrative going on about them being the 4 pillars of AEW... it's a Japanese thing. Stu Grayson just got resigned, so they are trying to give him some shine. Jeff Jarett is actually good in AEW. Twitter despises him. Heel women's faction has been ice cold, recently got some heat by cutting promos that make fun of the geek audience. Hangman and the Elite reuniting at the end is seen as a big moment. Overall, AEW has been a lot better these past couple weeks, last weeks Dynamite even had a storyline that carried through the show... low bar I know.
MLW does NOT upload their full shows any longer just to let you know. They used to, but are now on Reelz.
Can't get away from good old Double J Jeff Jarrett.
"I can watch modern wrestling in a new positive light with no chance of anyone ruining it",
Me: looks at the thumbnail, ah shit here we go again.
amazing wrestlemania season, you should quit Impact for ROH the next week, not like i dont like it (well sometimes i do) but ROH Tony Khan is another great booker to compete with AEW Tony Khan, both put on great shows lol
The following Dynamite was great too with a cracking Omega match. Also nuts is perfectly fine in AEW. A welcome addition actually. No, really. He's doing what the likes of Jericho should be doing and working to enhance the younger guys.
No way, you allowed that samoan drop. You really are changing 😮
I hope your not serious about the somain drop.. I always agreed with that and enjoy you bringing it up every time!
Great video as always. I hope you talk about Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling again and have a great day!
31:13 Is one of the greatest reunion in the history of reunions. I literally jumped up for joy
Steve Maclin has a gimmick. He's basically The Punisher.
Taylor Wilde is a Wiccan in real life.
AEW did Nicole Matthews wrong. She's a Shimmer champion and 2 time Shimmer tag champion with Portia Perez as the Canadian NINJAS. Tony Khlown brought her in because everybody knew Taya Valkyrie signed with AEW.
Yo Hawk! Hope you catch the followings weeks episode Hammer vs Fatu II
Only if you smack him one!
That intro really reflects my perspective. Even if I know a lot of modern wrestling is terrible, I still go into it with the intention of enjoying myself. I'd rather enjoy something semi-ironically than being a bitter hate-watcher. Though I have to be honest I completely lost it when you called Kevin and Sami the Rock and Austin of this generation 💀
Yup I was just going into it trying to find the bad. That was my wrong.
@Markyd123 Well I loved those videos too, but I'm glad you're having more fun with it.
The Theory booking is actually sound. In storyline Cena said in promo Theory isn't ready and we just watched a match where he barley got by on the skin of his teeth from Montez who they should himself lol to get you thinking huh maybe he isn't' ready?
That slice boogie clip is gold
I really miss Slice Boogie and Limelight Rivera, 5150, in MLW
Slapnuts is actually really entertaining in AEW. I'm not sure why he's on TV every week with all of the talent in that lockerroom, but he loses virtually all the time. He's apparently a backstage producer for the company.
It was fun I have to admit
Old school fans appreciate aew matches the hawk proves it
31:10 A WILD SLAPNUTS APPEARS!
Great video. I like your perspective on modern wrestling, especially because you give a neutral viewpoint. Are you going to review WrestleMania?
You should do every Johnny Gargano NXT Takeover match for Ring Of The Hawk and I can almost guarantee he will get a A at least B
Win or lose he really is Johnny Takeover
He always will be Johnny Takeover but yk our boy Marky D would do him just for Ring Of The Hawk
i don't watch wrestling anymore, i just watch people talking about it.
This week was a close contest but for me aew was the best . Keep up the great content
Love this series. I’m more of an AEW guy now but I watch everything and it’s cool to get your opinions on the modern shit
Piper waddling around the ring was tragic.
i love how Hawk can’t escape Slapnuts 😂😂
Protect Microman at all costs
The sudden fear on the Hawk's voice when he realizes which song is playing at 31:12 is priceless
Welcome back buddy!
