Jason Powell
Jason Powell is a long-tenured pro wrestling journalist whose coverage blends live event play-by-play, post-show critique, ratings analysis, and historical context across major promotions. As founder and editor of Pro Wrestling Dot Net, he serves as a central voice on WWE, AEW, NXT and TNA/Impact while tying current storylines back to past eras and industry shifts.
Powell’s WWE Raw Hit List and Live Coverage
Powell is a primary analyst of WWE Raw, using recurring Hit List columns, live reviews, audio shows, previews, and ratings pieces to track the brand from multiple angles.
His Raw Hit List features short, direct reactions to key matches and angles, highlighting booking strengths and weak finishes while calling out emerging acts such as Jaida Parker, Oba Femi, and factions like the 946. He runs live Raw results reviews that follow the show match by match, as seen in his SmackDown and Raw reports that focus on championship bouts, tournament qualifiers, and major storyline developments. Around those reports he publishes Raw previews and Netflix global view analyses, using viewership data to judge how big matches or themed episodes move the audience.
Audio reviews under his name extend that coverage, providing post-show breakdowns of title matches, qualifiers, and faction segments that mirror and deepen what appears in his written reports.
NXT TV rating and Hit List coverage
Powell covers NXT with the same structured approach, combining TV rating pieces, Hit Lists, and audio reviews keyed to the brand’s championship scene and tournament cycles.
His NXT TV rating articles ask whether specific cards or stipulations sustain or improve recent numbers, such as open challenges for the NXT Championship or triple threat matches for title shots. In Powell’s NXT Hit List columns, he zeroes in on standout promos, character work, and evolving angles, including Dusty Classic tournament matches, therapy-session vignettes, and the positioning of champions like Grayson Waller. His NXT audio reviews recap entire episodes, walking through title matches, women’s division programs, and tag tournaments while keeping an eye on how new acts and ongoing feuds fit into the broader direction of the brand.
AEW and TNA/Impact event and ratings reporting
Powell’s AEW coverage spans weekly television, pay-per-view cards, and business-side indicators such as show ratings and lineup strength.
He writes AEW Dynamite Hit Lists that evaluate how effectively the show builds to major events like All Out, focusing on marquee matches, interference-heavy main events, and feuds such as Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page. On the news side he publishes AEW Collision lineup pieces and Dynamite and Collision rating notes, emphasizing what tonight’s card looks like and how tribute shows or special episodes perform in viewership.
His AEW pay-per-view reports and previews drill into full cards, outcomes, and standout matches, positioning each event within ongoing story arcs.
Powell extends his event reporting to TNA/Impact, writing Impact pay-per-view reports and notebook columns around talent such as Jason Hotch while also hosting member-exclusive podcasts that follow multi-man title matches and mystery attacker angles. Across these promotions he moves between straight match reports, opinion-driven Hit Lists, and notebook-style observations, keeping the same direct tone and focus on match quality, booking logic, and fan response.
PW Boom Podcast and audio analysis
Beyond written coverage, Powell is the host of the Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast, where he interviews wrestlers, promoters, commentators, and executives and leads broad discussions of the industry. Recent PW Boom episodes feature deep dives on events such as AEW All Out, WWE Money in the Bank, NXT Heatwave, and AAA shows, with guests who help him unpack title changes, promotional competition, and pay-per-view fallout. He regularly records Boom episodes and other free Dot Net podcasts that review weekly TV like WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event, spotlight major matches such as CM Punk vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship, and cover news topics including high-profile deaths and promotional strategy.
His audio work also includes hosting media calls and roundtable discussions, as in AEW media-call episodes with Tony Khan and collaborative shows with analysts like Jake Barnett and Will Pruett, giving him a forum to explore business narratives and creative decisions at length.
Must-Read lists, Dot Net Notebook, and historical perspective
Powell uses recurring features such as MUST-READ LIST, Dot Net Daily, Dot Net Notebook, NEWS TICKER, and member-exclusive podcasts to surface what he considers essential stories and to add commentary that reaches beyond single shows. In these formats he highlights wrestlers like Gunther and storylines cutting across promotions, organizes daily news into concise updates, and records notebook-style reflections on match quality, booking trends, and character presentation.
His historical and legacy coverage includes WCW-focused pieces, reality show casting items, and obituaries for figures such as Ted Turner and Van Hammer, as well as notes on documentary series like “Mr. McMahon,” where he provides episode-by-episode commentary on eras including the Attitude period and notorious incidents like the Screwjob.
Powell’s background in wrestling journalism dates to the late 1990s, when he reported on the rise and fall of ECW, the Monday Night War, and the WWF acquisition of WCW, and he has held editorial roles at earlier wrestling and fantasy sports outlets before founding Pro Wrestling Dot Net. That long view shows up in his present-day work, where current WWE, AEW, NXT, and TNA developments are consistently framed against past boom periods, promotional battles, and shifts in how wrestling is distributed and consumed.
