My Top 5 HHH Matches.

Intro.

Ok guys, go get yourself a snack, sit back, and relax, because it's time to play the game.

5 HHH vs Cactus Jack WWF Royal Rumble 2000.

This is one of my favourite matches ever. I remember watching it as a kid, and I loved it, this is a bloodsoaked masterpiece.

4 HHH vs The Rock Ladder Match For The WWF Intercontinental Championship Summerslam 1998.

Every fan praises Shawn Michaels, and. Razor Ramon, for being the blueprint for what a Ladder Match could look like, but for my money, this is the best executed Ladder Match of all time, these two worked an absolute classic.

3 HHH vs Shawn Michaels 3 Stages Of Hell Armageddon 2002.

HHH, and. HBK did have some decent Matches together, but this one, was by far their best, it was just majestic in my opinion, and even though I didn't agree with the result, and what it sparked off afterwards. I think this is one of the best Matches that HHH has ever had.

2 HHH vs The Rock Iron Man Match Judgement Day 2000.

Both of these men, at this time in their careers, were at the top of the mountain, in the wrestling world, and they brought the best out of one another. I still go back, and watch this Match from time to time, and it never lets me down.

1 Both Matches With The Undertaker At Wrestlemania 27 And 28.

With both stipulations being differant, one a No Holds Barred Match, and the other, taking place inside the Hell In A Cell structure. I think these Matches are the embodiment of great Pro Wrestling storytelling, when you watch these two, back to back.

AEW Dynamite Review 28.11.2024.

Intro.

AEW's Continental Classic is back, and I couldn't be more happier. I've felt for some time, that AEW has needed to go back to its roots, and given the fact that last years was a success, it makes sense to bring it back. And with the company going into smaller venues, I feel this could be a real moral booster, for fans, and talent. This. Could act as a reset.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment And Continental Classic Match.

I liked this. MVP came out with Shelton Benjamin, and. And Bobby Lashley. He put over Chicago, and the sports legends that come that state, and his team, saying that if you get an invite to join his crew, it's like being given a Golden ticket, he then turned his attention to Swerve Strickland, and called him arrogant, and showed footage of how Bobby battered him at the PPV. MVP called his crew the merchants of pain, and misery, bceause all they want is Gold to end this segment. Shelton then, beat Mark Briscoe, in the 1st round of the Continental Classic. I liked this Match, I felt like the agility, and physicality from both men, made for a great Match, and the physicality was superb. Shelton abvances to the next stage of the tournament, and I can't wait to see who he faces next.

Mercedes Mone Segment.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Tony Schiavone interviewed Mercedes Mone, and she got straight to business, saying that Statlander  gave her a great Match on Sunday, and I agree it was excellent, she turned to Camille, and started bullying her, saying that she couldn't get the job done, she went to fire her, but. Camille got there before she did, and quit, standing her ground. This felt very WWE to me.

I Love The Costco Guys.

I'm just going to say it. I love the Costco Guys. Aj Booooooooooom wrestled that Match against Qt Marshall, with a broken foot, what a legend. Right off downstairs to get me a Double Choc Chunk Chip Cookie.

Chris Jericho vs Tomohiro Ishii ROH World Heavyweight Championship.

I liked this, and I never thought I would say this about a Chris Jericho Match, in our year of 2024. This. Match was a physical war, complete with chopfests, and slap matches. Jericho retained, and, yeah, this was good.

Swerve Strickland Segment.

Max Castor got decked by Swerve Strickland, for being a bit too mouthy. Renee Paquette, sold this perfectly.

Hangman Adam Page Segment

Tony Schiavone, tried to interview Hangman Adam Page, but. Hangman was in no mood, he called Christian Cage a failure, and said that he wants to be the next AEW World Heavyweight Champion, whilst stating that he's better than Moxley, and White. Jay White then came out, and reminded us that he's beaten Hangman twice, so that puts him in contention. Pac. Wheeler Yuta, and. Marina Shafir came out, and a fight broke out. Jay was about give a bladerunner, but Mox stopped that from happening. Jay white was left lying in the ring,  as this melted into the next Match. I liked all of this.

Claudio Castagnoli vs Ricochet.

After the worst of the carnage had cleared, Claudio Castagnoli, beat. Ricochet in a solid tournament Match, that can only be described as a one sided beating. Claudio continues in the Continental Classic.

Damn It Don Callis Segment.

I have no other words than. I liked all of this, because I like the direction, that AEW is taking this group, and what a revalation has Kyle Fletcher been in 2024.

Adam Cole Segment.

This feud needed a good night, and it got just that. Adam Cole, came out, and wanted to take the fight for his friend Roderick Strong, who MJF injured at Full Gear, by saying that's he's going to get the ass whooping he deserves, this brought out Kyle O'reilly, and he also wants to take the fight for his fallen friend. Max then showed up on the screen, playing a piano, and said that he's not interested in facing either one of them, but he will be in the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale next week, both men then said, their also in. This wasn't bad, but overall this storyline hasn't connected with me.

Womens International Championship Jamie Hayter vs Queen Aminata.

Jamie Hayter, beat. Queen Aminata, in a solid Match, to advance in the Womens International Tournament. This. Needed more time. I mean after 5, years c'mon AEW, do better.

Mina Shirawawa Segment.

Mina Shirakawa, then had a nice sit down chat with Renee Paquette. She explained why she attacked her former friend Marieh May, she said that on Saturday she saw the real Marieh, and as if by magic. Marieh came out, and battered with a Champagne bottle. Marieh stood tall in the aftermath, and said that she wants Mina. The pair will meet at Winter Is Coming in two weeks time. Can I also put over once again. Renee Paquettes selling during this segment, this women is gold.

Darby Allin vs Brody King Continental Classic.

I liked all of this, at times it made me worry for the safety of Darby Allin, because was getting chucked around like a wet tracksuit, and it was glorious. King got the win gutso bomb, and had a stairing contest with Claudio Castagnoli, to end the show.


Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

I'm rejoicing in the fact that The Continental Classic is back, because it made this broadcast feel a bit more whole, and that's I like in my wrestling.

This Weeks AEW Dynamite is a Solid 8/10.

My Top 5 times Wrestling Left Me Feeling Unsatisfied.

      Intro. 

Over the past thirty of years, of me watching my favourite form of entertainment, there have been plenty of moments, that have left me feeling, well, a bit unsatisfied, so I decided to write a list about, because my god these Matches, moments, and situation, were, and are, highly frustrating.

5. Jay White vs MJF AEW Full Gear

My god this Match was unsatisfying, and it still leaves a bad thoughts in my mind. Wrestling should never leave you questioning your life decisions.

4. Immortal.

Immortal. Hulk Hogan, and. Eric Bischoffs favourite form of escapism. Self Indulgence. I loved this at the time, but as a fan watching this with 2024 eyes, not all of this holds up very well.

3. WCW In 1999.

WCW in 1999. I have no other words, because my god this creative, looked like it had been regurgitated from the bottom of a toilet.

2. WWE In 2004.

This, year in WWE History at points, made me question my life choices. Armageddon 2004. Need I say anymore.

1 Retribution.

Retribution, agh yes. Retribution. Pandemic era wrestling at its worst. Right i'm going to go, and a have a lye down, because my head hurts, from being completely unsatisfied.

My Top 5 WWF PPV's From The Year 2000.

Intro

The year 2000. A year that could easily be seen, as the peak of civilisation. From me thinking Oops I did it again, and then gaining my senses, by getting One Step Closer to the edge, and yes I was about to break. Me, and my friends, would have a field day when it came to wrestling. The Attitude Era, was nearing its completion, and WCW was falling apart even more at the scenes, However TV was also getting good as well. The Nerd in me loved Roswell, and. The spin off to one of the best TV shows ever. Angel, had me hooked, and it was a gateway, to me getting into the horror genre. Futurama was also goated. I love you Bender.

5 WWF Unforgiven 2000.

That Tag Team Championship Cage Match, between. Edge And Christian, and. The Hardy Boyz. The Fatal 4 Way WWF Championship Match, between. The Rock vs The Monster vs Kane vs The Undertaker, and. HHH vs Kurt Angle, this PPV to was class, and I had a great time watching it back recently.

4 WWF No Mercy 2000.

Stone Colds Steve Austin's Return, battering Rikishi. HHH vs The Monster, and. Kurt Angle winning the WWF Championship from The Rock. This. Was yet another stellar outing from the house of feducation.

3 WWF Judgement Day 2000.

The Rock vs HHH in a one hour Iron Man match, and the return of The Undertaker.

2 WWF Backlash 2000.

The Rock, and. HHH had a barn burner, and. The Monstar had a great showing against Chris Jericho, but on the night of April 30th 2000, it was all about the Return of one man. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Enough said.

1 WWF Royal Rumble 2000.

I loved this show, even until this day. I remember watching this, recorded the after it happened, when I got home from schools. The Hardyz Boyz vs The Dudley Boyz, and of course that classic Street Fight for the WWF Championship. Just don't watch what Mae Young did, because i'm broke, and can't afford anyone's therapy.

 

Top 5 Survivor Series Moments

Intro.

As the winds of change started to echo throughout the wrestling industry, just a couple of years ago. Gone were the days of the one month rivalries, and all out brand warfare, and in its place, was well placed storytelling, with cohesive endings, with an induced mix of all out carnage, and no i'm not talking about Cm Punk burying a company, whilst eating baked goods. Survivor Series 2022, didn't just mark the start of what was to come, it marked a landmark moment in WWE History in my opinion, as HHH steer shipped the company into new heights, that they're still reaping the benefits to this day.

5 IIIIIIttttttssss Sting.

The Anual Multiman Match that year focused around Team Authority vs Team WWE. I love this Multiman, because this was just, differant gravy. The near falls were electric, and sold the importance of the Match Perfectly, and then after this Match ended, it happened, and it was a moment that I never thought would happen. Sting showed in WWE, this, made my mind melt, and I loved it.

4. HHH nearly gets murdered by Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Car Cranes. HHH, and. Stone Cold Steve Austin, man this was one hell of a dangerous mix.

3. HHH vs Ric Flair 2005.

This, if you've never seen it, is a strawberry juice induced, violent funfest, that is a perfect sign of the times.

2 Brock Lesnar vs Daniel Bryan.

I love this Match, even though Lesnar is persona non grata, at the minute in WWE, due to being implicated in the Vince alligations. His matches at this time were ace in my opinion, and this is my favourite. 

1 Sami Joins The Bloodline.

Romans grooming of Sami Zayn was nothing short of compulsive, and this moment at the end of this show, was pure class, the look on Kevin Owens face said everything.

My Top 5 Times Wrestling Made Me Think Did That Just Happen.

         Intro 

Over the past thirty years. Wrestling has had some crazy moments, that turned my head, and made me think, did that just happen? so I've put together a top 5 list, that features some of these moments.

5 Swamp Fight Bron Strowman vs Bray Wyatt.

I'm probably the only person that I know, that gave this Match a free pass, because it happened during the pandemic, and yeah, this was nuts. I understand that when this Match happened, every wrestling company was throwing all their ideas against the wall, due to the fact that the world had shut down, and it worked when it came to taking my mind off of what was going on in the world, but, yeah, this was all kinds of crazy.

4 Mae Young Is Pregnant.

This. Was. The Attitude Era, at it's lowest. Mae Young was pregnant, in her eighties. This. Was in storyline. ( Thank god )

3 He Who Shall Not Be Named Using A Racial Slur.

This. Actually happened. He Who Shall Not Be Named used a nasty racial slur, towards John Cena, at the 2005 Royal Rumble, to the shock of Booker T who overheard everything. This is something that I do not condone.

2 The Streak Comes To An End.

Wrestlemania 30, will go down for two things. The emergence of Daniel Bryan, as he became. The WWE Champion, it was an emotional moment, but this in my opinion was overruled by The Streak coming to an end. Mark Callaway portrayed the character of The Undertaker, at this point, for the best part of 24 years, and in 1991. At Wrestlemania 7, he beat Jimmy Superfly Snuka, and this would kick start something, that would take on a life of its own, and become a part of the wrestlemania card that fans would look forward to year in, and year out. That was until Mania 30, he faced Brock Lesnar. Due to sustaing a concussion during the Match. Mark has said, that he doesn't remember what he did that day, let alone the Match. The Match itself was a bit of a letdown, but when you take in all of the facts, this was something that you couldn't believe, until you saw it happen live.

1 Stone Cold And Booker T Have A Fight In a Supermarket.

This. Was, really something. Just picture the scene, you go to Tesco and a couple of guys just start fighting in the cereal isle, You're going to turn away, are you, well, even though this was a makeshift store, both Stone Cold Steve Austin, and. Booker T, did just that. I laughed out loud when I saw this.

My Top 5 Takeaways From AEW Full Gear 2024.

     Intro.

I have to start this off with an apology. Due to my day job. I wasn't able to do a full review, so I thought I would give you guys a Top 5 list. It's my dream to do this a full-time one day, so having to miss things like this, is something that I don't take lightly, but if there's one thing. I can Guarantee, is that when I do these lists, you are getting my all.

Honourary Mention.

Ok guys. I have to start with the elephant in the room. The Costco Guys. I understand that these guys, have become quite vitriotic with some fans, and to those fans, all I have to say is this. Just smile. AJ Boooooooms match with QT Marshall was a bit of fun, and if it brings in a new audience, then who cares. The Internet, and. purists, need to lighten up.

5 The Tag Team Championship 4 way Match.

This. Match, was a let down, and it failed to get out of first gear, and it was a shame, because it had one of my favourite Tag Teams involved. The Outrunners, and, my best mates. Private Party. The booking felt lazy, the in-ring work was predictable, and the Acclaimed seperation arc, was nothing short of tedious.

4 Some Matches Didn't Deliver.

The Tag Team Championship 4 Way Match, and. MJF vs Roderick Strong, both fell very short of the mark, in my opinion, but after these pieces of sludge. The PPV does get better.

3 Will Osperay vs Kyle Fletcher.

I get the feeling that Dave Meltzer is going to feel the same as me. I loved this Match. The timing, in-ring work, their chemistry, and all round moveset, made this a must watch. This. Is. Yet. Another Match of the year contender. The near falls, brought home the story of the match, as kyle got the win, after a fantastic final exchange. You need to see this Match.

2 Championship Champagne Celebration.

Marieh May, and. Mina Shirakawa's Championship Champagne Celebration, why was this on the PPV, it was a TV segment, that existed for TV purposes. I could see what was going to happen, coming a mile off, and, but. Mina vs Marieh is a tasty prospect though.

1 Orange Cassidy vs Jon Moxley AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

This. Was. All kinds of crazy, because it wasn't a wrestling Match, it was a fight. The Physicality was fast paced from the early going, as the carnage became a bloodstained nightmare for Orange Cassidy. As the final 10 minutes, saw the final exchanges, what we got was a shenanigans led trip to the senses, as. The Conglomeration, and, the rest of the Deathriders, clashed, this would act as the start of the end, as Marina Shafir, hit Cassidy with the briefcase, and Yuta gave Cassidy, a Bopsycho knee, paying shade to the man that he helped take out. Hangman Adam Page came out, and had a stairdown with Moxley. Jay White then came out and attacked Hangman, and Christian cage tried to cash in his Championship Contract, but this didn't happen. Yuta, and. Moxley, cleaned up Cassidy, the hard way, and then the Deathriders made their escape, that was until a vehicle got rammed into The Deathriders nicked aprahended someone else's car, and got away, when the camera panned around to show an insensed Darby Allin, came out and smashed up what remained of The Deathriders escape car. This. Was. A game changer, and I loved it.

Overview Of AEW Full Gear 2024.

With three exscurtions, either not delivering, or being a waste of time, that would've been better suited to TV. I think this PPV was a great watch. AEW at this moment in time is going through a form of transition, that is splitting the critics, and fans, down the middle, but on the evidence that I saw unfold in front of my eyes. I think the company, needs to find a sense of direction, that can carry them forward, because it's a worrying state of affairs, when influencers were the most over thing on the card.

AEW Full Gear 2024 is a solid 8/10.

 My Top 5 Bloodline Moments.

Intro.

Were do I start with this long lasting arc, that has catapoulted WWE back into the mainstream, well here are top 5 moments.

5 Which One Are You.

Before the foundations were laid out. Jey Uso, won a number contenders Match to face his cousin at the 2020 Night Of Champions PLE. The storyline that came alongside with this, echoed Romans new arc, as The Tribal Chief, that behind the scenes was being fronted by Paul Heyman. This Moment centred around a great Promo Dual that Roman had with his younger cousin Jey, as the for shadowing for what was to come, started to become a reality. Jey sounded emotional on this night. As everyone knows his brother, but. Which one was he, this added a core of reality, to this already great Friday Night Smackdown segment.

4 The Trial Of Sami Zayn.

This. Is one of the best segments to ever air on Monday Night Raw, you need to see this.

3 Honourary Uce.

Sami Zayn is made an honourary Uce. This segment made me feel very Ucey.

2 Sami's Betrayal.

The Royal Rumble 2023, started off a continuation pattern in HHH's booking. In the last days of. He Who Shall Not Be Named, awful booking decisions this arc was created, and then 2022 happened. Vince was out, and his form of creativity went with him. Smaller cards, with a sharper creative edge, came in its place, all being helmed by Paul HHH Levesque. Sami escaping the clutches of Romans grooming, was nothing short of gripping, as this started of a four month storythread, that would see Zayn and Kevin Owens overthrow The Uso's, at Wrestlemania 39, to become WWE Universal Tag Team Champions. KO was Sami's light, and it was great to see.

1 The Rocks Rock Concert.

This. Is my favourite Bloodline moment, and all I have to say is, you're welcome.

  WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review.

Intro.

This Past Friday morning. I was wearing all black, as we got the announcement, that the WWE Network is closing down, and most of the content will be going to Netflix, alongside the with weekly TV Shows, and the PLE's. I think this makes a lot of sense. WWE is going to become way more accessible, in more countries. Global expansion is the name of the game, and at the minute WWE are owning it.

Temu Bloodline.

Solo and his gaggle of bastatd came out to kick start the show, he said that he, and his crew, are ready to dominate at Wargames, because Roman isn't, because he's running late, and hasn't arrived at the arena. Solo said, that when Roman turns up, he wants to meet him in the centre of the ring, so he can hear the terms of surrender from Solo. This. Was an excellent through episode storythread, that had me hooked throughout the two hour durration. Roman, and, the og Bloodline were seen backstage later, trying to figure out what to do.

Bianca Belair vs Chelsea Green vs Blair Davenport United States Championship Tournament.

I liked this. The Match flowed nicely, the physicality was great, the chemistry was solid, and the near-falls fell into place nicely, even though Jade getting planted on the windshield of a car, causing Bianca to leave the match, made for an unpredictable element. It allowed Chelsea, and. Blair to shine, and in my opinion. they stole the match, with an excellent exchanges, that wouldn't look out of place on a PLE. Chelsea, got the win, and advances in the tournament.

LA Knight vs Santos Escobar United States Championship.

I didn't like this. The Match felt clunky, and using Neo Nakamura, in the same heel character as last year, to me, is a waste of time. Knight retained, this was, what it was.

Street Profits. Motorcity Machine Gunns, and Johnny Gargano Segment.

Johnny Gargano, then played peacemaker, when. The Motorcity Machine Gunns, had a chane encounter with The Street Profits. Montez Ford, later on beat. Tomasso Ciampa, in a decent TV Match.

Cody Rhodes And Kevin Owens Segment.

I liked this. Cody was given the walk through treatment, and this built into a great segment. Cody called out KO, and he came out through the fans. Both men had a fantastic promo dual, that was centred around, KO's self centred nature, that has caused him to turn his back on his friends, from dangerous actions, that took out Randy Orton, to history with Roman's crew, all KO did was complain, which pissed off Cody, who then explained his reasons for teaming with Roman, saying it was the best thing to do, and that the only thing that's holding KO down is KO, from the shades of Berlin, a rematch is almost certain. Cody told KO to pick a time, and he'll be there, but. KO refused, this, and said that the Match will happen when he says, because he hates Cody. Cody then flipped the script, and said that KO hates KO. All of this was well put together. Carmelo Hayes then wound Cody up in the aftermath.

Bayley And Naomi vs Candice Lerae And Tiffany Stratton.

This. Was. A waste of time. The Match was thrown out, after Nia Jax, got involved. Beforehand, the Match was a mess, and failed to get up off the ground. Iyo Sky, came out to make the save, but she got decked by The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, this caused Rhea Ripley to come out, to end this train. I hated this. It was far to predictable.

Bloodlines Come Together.

All of this, was excellent. The Temu Bloodline, were out first, and Solo took to the mic. He spoke about the love he has for his own, and all they have to do is surrender to Solo, and they can run this town, for decades to come. Roman didn't need to say a word because out stepped Paul Heyman, for the first time in over 4 months, and said that the numbers not adding up didn't make sense, because the Wargames Match, it won't be 4 on 5, it will be 5 on 5, and he then pointed to the stage, and all you could hear, was that familiar sounding guitar crank, and out walked Cm Punk. A fight broke out. Tama. Jakub, and. Tonga got taken out by. Jimmy. Jey, and. Samy. Punk and Roman, then had a go at Solo, and Jakub, and then had a stairdown themselves to end the broadcast. Wargames just switched up another gear, and I love it.

Overview Of WWE Frday Night Smackdown.

I enjoyed large parts of this broadcast. Cody, and. KO, had a barnstormer of a promo segment. The ladies Tournament Match was solid. Montez Ford, and Tomasso Ciampa, had a good showing, whilst The Bloodline stole the show.

This Weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a decent 8/10.

Why I Love Linkin Park And How They Helped Shape My Love Of Wrestling.

Intro. 

It's no secret, that I'm a massive wrestling fan, but, most of you may not know, I'm also heavily into music. I'm not a musician, but I do feel that Music has shaped, how my life has turned out, and has helped me when I needed it most in my life. One of my biggest influences is Linkin Park, and as I was getting into them, my love for wrestling was evolving. I never had it easy when it came to my school life, but I knew that in the end. It didn't even matter, because, when things got bad, they saved my life, and here's how.

13 year old me.

If you could go back in time, to a part of your life, which one would you choose. I would choose, when I turned 13, because I would do everything so differantly, me and my friends, were all big wrestling fans, which even during the year 2000, a massive boom period for the WWF, we would be bullied, because this made us differant. I felt alone, like I had nowhere to go, and as it turned I wasn't alone, because later that year, an album called Hybrid Theory came out, and all I answers to the questions that I had, became clear, these men were just like me. Mike rapped about isolation, and loneliness, whilst Chester had a voice that resembled an angels, that could also boil nails, at the same time, the backing sound provided by. Joe Hahn. Pheonix. Brad Delson, and. Rob Bourdon, made for an electric cocktail, that I instantly fell in love with, this album made me feel normal, in the same way that watching Stone Cold Steve Austin used to make me feel. In 2003 the band released Meteora, their second album, Hybrid Theory was a phenomanon, and. Meteora was a great follow to this mega debut. My love for this band deepened.

Crossroads.

Linkin Parks Music, has a DIY attitude to it. Yes they were signed to a big record Label Warner Bros, and the label Boyband, in their early years, acted as an unfair tag, that by the time. 2007 rolled around. Minutes To Midnight, added a solid look into the future, for were the band was going, my life was going down this same route, with the lyrics from Shadow Of The Day, which helped me when I needed it most.

As I Got Older.

As I got older. My fandom for wrestling, and. Linkin Park didn't stop. TNA was the new kid in town, and this came at a time when the WWE were failing to create stars. TNA was enhancing the furure, and taking a look, at were the industry was going. Linkin Park on the other, were taking acts out on tour with them, that are now selling out arenas.

Creative Flux.

From the years of 2012-2017. Both WWE, and. Linkin Park would go through some sort of creative Flux. Linkin Parks would see 3 albums have varying success, and. The WWE's creative would start to fail, as those years went on. I still found some enjoyment from Linkin Parks Music, whilst The WWE made me question my life choices, my life at this point from a work level, was on the floor, and my confidence was shot, and then it happened. On the 20th of July, the world got smaller, and colder on a summers evening, as news slowly started to filter through here in the UK, that Chester Bennington had taken his own life, at the age of 41. My heart sunk into my guts, as I struggled to digest the news. Wrestling at this point did work to take my mind off of what was going on. My musical guidance had been ripped away from me, and this made me feel worse, but, there was a voice at the back of my head, that said you can turn this around, and it was the lyrics to the song Heavy, and this said to me, it's within you to do this, and I did. RIP Chester. I hope i've made you proud, even though I didn't know you.

Controversy With A Concious.

September 5th. All day I was buzzing with excitement. Linkin Park were back, and with a new Singer, she went by the name of Emily Armstrong. On first appearance on the livestream concert, I thought she sounded a bit rough, but as the show went on, she grew into confidence, and I thought she did a good job. But as soon as this ended fans went to the internet, and discovered her past. Emily has, or had, links with Scientology, and had ties to the Danny Masterson case, when she supported him, at one of his hearings. I won't go into detail on what Masterson did, because it's awful. She then issued a statement saying that she has had nothing to do with Masterson, but didn't say anything about Scientology, fans picked up on this, and was labelled a scientologist by the media because of this. I have my thoughts on scientology, and even with recent developments. I don't think she's in the church fully anymore, and as for not talking about it, she probably can't, due to how the church treats outcasted people. My take on this is simple. I think, when you get someone who's manipulated someone, and done the unthinkable. In my experience, you'll find thousands behind him, that don't think it's ok to ruin other peoples lives. I have my thoughts on Scientology. It's something that I can't get my head around. November 15th 2024, the band released their 8th studio album From Zero, which is a paranim of their original name, before they were called Linkin Park. I really like the Album. For an Album that has had a massive machine promote. It reminds of Indy wrestling, because a lot of the tracks on the album, like. Stained. Cut The Bridge, and, the lead single. The Emptiness Machine, all have the routes of an independant wrestling promotion, oozing out from thier pours. What I'm trying to say is this, we all have the right to enjoy what we enjoy. And if this album helps someone, in the same way Chesters words did, then its all been worth it, because that's what matters.

 My Top Ten Bands That shaped My Love Of Pro Wrestling.

No Intro Needed.

5 Slayer.

As a fan of Heavy Metal music, the corilation between this genre, and wrestling goes back decades, from the time when Ozzy Osbourne, was seen sat at ringside, at Wrestlemania 2, but to me Slayer was a massive influence on my fandom. I listen to South Of Heaven on repeat when I did my Karate training back in the day, and unto this day. I listen to them when I go on walks,  when getting my exercise.

4 Slipknot.

I love this band. I have been a fan since I was fourteen years old, and getting into them, just so happened, when the back end of the attitude era, was starting to slow down, which meant that my tempo increased.

3 Pantera.

I'm just going to say this, so we get this clear. I don't agree with any of Phil Anselmo's controversial takes, in any way shape or form, but I love the music. Back when I did Karate. Pantera would be on my training playlist. In terms of Wrestling. In the mid nineties, the industry could easily have been soundtracked by  this band, which is when I first became a fan.

2 Korn.

Back in the late nineties, when I was entering my pre-teens. My favourite band at that point was The Offspring, that was until one of my boneheaded friends introduced me to Korn, and even it wasn't love at first listen straight away. I feel that it was a perfect way, to look at my relationship with wrestling at the time. Did I like Chris Jericho at that time. No, but I grew to love him, ( that was until earlier this Year ) Eddie Guererro I wasn't a big fan of in WCW, but I loved him in the WWF. This basically descrides my love for the band Korn.

1 Linkin Park.

This band, alongside Pro Wrestling, has got me through some dark periods in my life. I will be writing another piece on these guys a little bit later on, that will allow to go a bit more into detail.

Why I'm Looking To AEW Full Gear 2024. Top 5 reasons.

Intro.

Even though this weeks Dynamite, felt a bit damp. I'm still looking forward to the PPV, and here's why. 

5 The Costco Guys.

I have one word to describe this reason. Boooooooooooooooooooooooom. Right I'm hungry. I wonder if I have any Chicken Bakes downstairs.

4 Jon Moxley vs Orange Cassidy.

Even though a lot of critics, haven't liked a lot of this. I have, and the Match is going to deliver on the night, but I also respect others opinions. Were all differant people.

3 MJF vs Roderick Strong.

This. Match, even though the build has been a convoluted mess, the Match screams lofi burner.

2 Will Osperay vs Kyle Fletcher

This Match screams Match of the year. I can't wait to see this Match, as it unflods this weekend.

1 Chris Jericho Isn't On The Card.

At long last. Chris Jericho isn't on an AEW PPV Card, thank God. I'm so releaved for this.



AEW Dynamite Review 21.11.2024.

Intro.

When the new year comes around, we will be seeing a new trend within AEW, there going to be running smaller venues. I think this is a great idea, performers will thrive under a smaller spotlight, and this could help develop a better feeling within the company and beyond. One other thing, apologies for the lateness of this review, this is due to the fact that I was securing a Linkin Park ticket for there Wembley Stadium show, next June, and guess what. I got a ticket, so i'm a very happy Patrick. 

Full Gear Round Up.

The show started with a shortened version of the hype video, that aired on Collision, soundtracked to Guns And Roses November Rain.

8 Man Tag Match.

The Don Callis Family, beat Will Osperay. Ricochet. Powerhouse Hobbs, and. Mark Davis, in a fantastic opening contest. The Matches within the Match, were sensational, and the chaos induced physicality, blended into the story of the Match. I really liked this.

Jon Moxley Promo.

This. Was. Excellent, the subtlety surroundings of Jons words, were great, as he laid into what Orange Cassidy is like, beneath the surface. Claudio Spoke in swiss, and said that he's going to end Darby later on. Cassidy, and. Darby answered this back. Darby said that The Deathriders, will have there day, whilst Cassidy told his conglomeration friends, that he's going to take the fight on his own.

MVP Segment.

The Hurt Syndicate, were seen showing up, and MVP had an announcement. Big Bobbles Lashley is going to be in action later on. Swerve then came out, and decked Bobbles. MVP, and. Shelton Benjamin, then beat up a Swerve lookalike, buy a staircase, and just like i was saying, be still my awful WCW loving heart.

Adam Cole Segment.

I didn't like this. Adam Cole came out, and instantly put over his friend Roderick Strong, and even though, he isn't facing MJF at Full Gear, he's going to make sure that Max receives the ass whooping of a lifetime, this is when Kyle O'reilly came out, and both men had an awkward promo dual, that echoed their past, and looked how well respected by his peers, who would go to war for him, he added that Max is more evil than him, and this is worrying. I thought all of this, fell flat, and it was performed to crickets.

Kris Statlander vs Hikaru Shida.

I liked this. Statlander, beat. Hikaru Shida, in a decent Match. Mercedes Mone, from sport trashing, to sending in her lackey to taken out, Stat and Shida, instead she was the won who got decked.

Bobbles Lashley vs Joe Keys And CheeseBurger.

Bobbles Lashley, beat. Joe Keys, and. CheeseBurger. Nana came out whielding a steelchair, this allowed Swerve to attack lashley with his trusty chain, to end the segment. I liked this.

Marieh May And Mina Shirakawa Segment.

Ok guys, Saturday at Full Gear. I will de getting my tits out, for this segment, because it's a clear indication that Toni Storm is coming back. This was great, both promos were awesome.

Darby Allin vs Claudio Castagnoli.

I liked this. From Darby suffering a rush of blood to the head, whilst claudio lifted up the ring steps, the pacing selling the violence, the flip reversal exchanges, and Claudio launching Darby through a table, via way of the safety rail, this allowed Claudio to get the win with a hard lariot.

Private Party Segment.

My best mates Private Party, told Renee Paquette, that they were not going to give away their game plan, ahead of their Tag Team four way Match this weekend, and then in stepped The Costco Guys. AJ Boom, and. Big Justice, and they had an announcent. The Rizla is going to be the guest bell ringer, for AJ's Match against QT Marshall. Right i'm going to take a quick break, so I can go downstairs, and plant my face with. Double Chunk Chip Cookies.

MJF Segment.

MJF, then showed on screen, at what looked like the outside of an abandoned warehouse, were he cut a scaving, and highly personal promo on Roderick Strong, that focused on his up bringing. Roderick answered this back later on, with a great babyface promo, with Tony Schiavone. I'm not sure what to think about this, because the balance, just felt off.

Postman Perry Segment.

Well I don't know how Postman got here tonight. He has a feeling that something aint right, he's so scared he might fall of his chair. There's no clowns to the left, nor. The Elite to the right, here he is, he's watching his van get smashed, by Daniel Garcia. This. Was pointless.

ROH Championship Contract Signing.

I laughed my ass watching this, because it was just so stupid, and ridiculous. I won't go to much into detail, because you need to see it for yourselves. Jericho, and. Big Tom, have patter, who would've known.

Jamie Hayter And Julia Hart Segment.

Julia Hart vs Jamie Hayter, at a later date, oh go on then AEW if you must. Just get on with the Match already.

Orange Cassidy vs Wheeler Yuta.

I thought this was a mix-bag of a main event, the physicalty was performed well, and the lts, was a nice touch, but overall, this was a flat match, with a poor outcome. Cassidy got the win by roll up. The rest of the deathriders came out, to attack Cassidy, it started off with Pac taking out Cassidy, and. Moxley. Claudio, and. Marina taping up Cassidy, and playing a violent game of pass the parcel. The Conglomeration come out to make the save, and give Cassidy back his glasses, as the show went off air.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

I'm not sure what to make of this weeks AEW Dynamite, the in-ring work, went from good to poor, whilst the promos, went the same way.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is midway 7/10. This can only be seen as a disapointment, with a major PPV, just days away.

 My Top Episodes Of Darkside Of The Ring.

Warning.

Just a heads up, I will be discussing issues like. Child Murder, sexual assault, and suicide, reader discretion is advised.

Intro.

The Vice Docu Series Darkside Of The Ring, has divided the wrestling fanbase, from raising points of controversy, to bringing up points, that some fans already know, but in my opinion, it's been a revelation, it's managed to bring up, and raise awareness of issues, that would normally get ignored by the mainstream media. I think, if the need for conversations has got to be had, then it's ok to educate the audience, because social issues, are real issues, and sometimes you need to take a step back, and take a breath.

5. The Ultimate Warrior Season 3.

I found this episode to be horrorfying, and, enlightening, the man known as James Hellwig, was a complete differant person to the character that he potrayed. His divergance into unthinkable Racism, and full on persona, that lead to multiple problems, this was an eye opening piece of TV, that has stayed with me, since the first time I watched it.

4 Nick Gage Season 3.

This episode confirmed what I thought about Nick Gage, he's absolutely nuts. Enough said.

3 Plain Ride From Hell Season 3.

From accounts of Drug misuse, insane antics in the air, the awful accusations that came surrounding Ric Flair, after a stewardess accused him of sexual assault, that led to Tommy Dreamer to say some awful comments, that led to him getting suspended by his employers. TNA, to the heartbreaking realisation, that the industry failed Terry Runnels, after her ex Dustin Rhodes, wouldn't leave her alone, and the alleged sexual exposure from Brock lesnar. This. Was. A sickening look into the industry's time window, that should never have existed.

2 The Fabulous Moolah Season 1

This. To Me, shattered all of my illusions, when it came legendary status, and how that term gets thrown around nowadays, because this lady, isn't a lady, nor is she a legend, what this episode uncovered, was how the awful side of the industry, can encapsulate one person. By all accounts the Fabulous one was an awful lady, who got off on the suffering of others, by the worst ways possible.

1 The Benoit Murders Parts 1 and 2 Season 2.

This. Episode is one of the finest points of Wrestling documentary making, it acts as a severe gut punch to the senses, that reminds us as the viewers, that life is precious, and that every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child. Daniel was let down in the worst way possible. Chris's oldest son David gives a great insight into what his dad was like, that painted the image of son, trying to get the best from an awful situation, which is understandable. The talking heads. Vicki Guererro. Jim Ross. Chavo Guererro, and. Chris Jericho, all give good insight, and feelings, and post trauma accounts, as the WWE was forced to tighten it's wellness policy. This two parter ended with Chris Jericho, bringing David, and. Nancy's sister together, at an AEW show, this at the time reminded me, that the industry, does have a soul.

My Top 5 AEW Dynamite Main Events.

Intro.

Over the past five years, since AEW's birth. The company has delivered in many area's. LTS, and compulsive storytelling in Matches, this has made their main events, must view watching, from weekly tv, to PPV outings. Tony Khans little promotion that can, even in it's current state of creative flux. Has managed to carve out a future for itself, and the main events in part have been stellar, so here are a few of my personal.

5 Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley AEW Dynamite Winter Is Coming 2020.

I love this Match, it's one I always tend to go back to, the physicality was perfect, and the pace, and timing, was done to perfection. A new dawn in AEW wasn't just on the horizon, it was here, and. Kenny Omega was his name.

4 The Young Bucks vs FTR AEW Dynamite April 2022.

This is one of the best Tag Team Matches, that I have ever seen, just pure perfection, from two of the industry's best teams. Enough said.

3 Dr Britt Baker vs Thunder Rosa AEW Womens Championship St Paddy's Day Slam March 2022.

Everyone rates these two ladies lights out match, that took place a year beforehand, as one of the best Matches that AEW have ever committed to the canvas, but for my money, their Steel Cage for the AEW world Championship, was better. I know that's a hot take, but this one, is awesome, and the sight of Rosa celebrating with Dustin Rhodes afterwards, reminds me, that if you want something bad enough, you can achieve it. I don't think there's any need for more words is there.

2 MJF vs Cm Punk Febuary 2022.

This. Is. One of the best wrestling storylines of all time, in my opinion, and this Match, just added an extra thick layer of drama, to what was an already boiling melting pot. I love this Match. Punk was defeated for the first time in AEW. And it made for compulsive viewing.

.Darby Allin vs Konosuke Takeshita Dynamite Febuary 2024.

With AEW finding itself in a current state of creative flux, this Match, is a clear reminder, that in our year of 2024, they can still produce gold. This. Is, one of the best TV Matches of 2024. Darby needs to hold gold in 2025.

Another Top 5 Celebrities I Would Love Face In A wrestling Match.

5 Jake Paul.

I can't stand either of the Paul brothers. I just think they're the worst form of people, who have done shady things. Plus It would make a good fight, for him, because I would lose.

4 Dana White.

Just imagine. The head of the biggest fight promotion in the world, fighting an unknown blogger, that just spells weird humour.

3 P Diddy.

Now this one just makes sense, now doesn't it, given everything that we know about this guy.

2 Justin Bieber.

I would fight this guy, for crimes against music, yeah, the song baby sounds like a drill going into the side of my head.

1 Hulk Hogan.

I have no time for awful racist human beings, and it would be funny to slowly watch him melt on national TV. You won't be able to blame this on the beer Hogan.

My Top 5 Bloodiest Wrestling Matches.

 Intro.

In the words of My Chemical Romance. Give me blood, blood, gallons of the stuff. Blood can be used as an enhancement, to help advance Matches, and help storylines to get to the next level, so this gave me an idea, just what are bloodiest matches in wrestling history.

5 Cm Punk vs Drew Mcintyre Hell In A Cell 2024.

With a year long slow build, and two previous matches, that failed to deliver in comparison, but this Match, on this night, became my WWE Match of the year. both men busted each other open, inside satin's favourite structure, as the physicality, and the blood sold this Match perfectly.

4 HHH vs Ric Flair Steel Cage Match Taboo Tuesday 2005.

Wrestling over the decades, has told the story, of hate outweighing love, many times over the years, but this one felt special. The act of betrayal, may be looked at as predictable, due to how Paul Leveque played his character, and the fact that he had developed a real life relationship with Flair, this is why the match worked in my opinion. The red stuff oozed from both men, as the violence took center stage.

3 HHH vs Cactus Jack Royal Rumble 2000.

This. Is essential viewing. I was 12 years old when my brother, let me borrow his VHS, that he taped from the night before. I fell in love with this Match, and then developed a fear of Barbwire in the aftermath.

2 Cm Punk vs MJF AEW Revolution 2022.

This. Match, had one of the best builds to any match, that I have ever seen, in over thirty years of being a fan of this business. If you've never seen this Match, then you should give this a watch, because it's simply incredible.

1 Pat Patterson vs Sgt Slaughter Madison Square Garden 1980.

I understand, why. Pat Patterson is persona non grata these days, but back in the day, he had some pretty hardcore Matches, and this was at a time when hardcore wasn't even a phrase. This Is a disgusting bloodsoaked nightmare, that still gives me the willies, unto this very day, because gallons of the stuff, came out from both of these men.

 WWE Monday Night Raw Review 19.11.2024.

Intro.

With Survivior Series, now just under two weeks away. Things are starting to take for the WWE, and its storytelling, even though this was a pretaped show. And i'm starting to feel the strain of all of these types of shows. I do think it's important to give those that entertain us, some well earnt time off. This time of year is a time to take things a little bit easier, as christmas starts to creep around the corner.

Superstars Seen Showing Up To The Arena.

Seth Rollins. Big Bronson Reed. Sheamus, and. Bron Breakker were all seen showing up to the arena.

The Mulletchaser Segment.

The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, were out first, and welcomed us to Monday Night Mullet, she said that, she knows Jade and Bianca, didn't come alone, and neither did they, and out came Nia Jax, and. Tiffany Stratton, and. Candace Lerae. This would end being the heel Survivor Series Team for WarGames. Nia ran through Raquel, and. Ms Chaser, saying what she thought of them, and then out came Bianca, and. Jade, and Naomi, and they said that The Mulletchaser is right they didn't come alone, and that's when Iyo Sky Joined them, all ladies got into the ring, and. The Mulletchaser was quick to bring up the fact that the numbers don't add up, this was when a returning Rhea Ripley came, and shouted the term, Waaaaaaaaargaaaaaaaammmes, and gave the Mulletchaser, a headbutt sandwich, because her face mask, was the other part of the bread. A fight broke out to end this segment. This would be later confirmed, as the womens Wargames Match. All of this felt a bit predictable to me

Rey Mysterio And Zelina Vega vs Chad Gable And Ivy Nile.

Rey Mysterio, and. Zelina Vega, beat. Chad Gable and Ivy Nile, in a decent TV Match, that showed a lot of promise, with a 619. I liked this.

The Miz Segment.

The Miz looked back on being kidnapped, and then swerving The Wyatt Sick, with the help of Karrion Kross. This didn't end well, because later on Bo Dallas delivered a chilling message later on, saying that this isn't over. I'm not sure what to make of this.

Gunther Segment.

Gunther then had words with Ludwig Kaiser, telling him, that he doesn't speak for him, he walked away, and sees Damien Priest sitting their signing merch, and attacked him, but Priest flipped the script, and battererd Gunther. The Look on Adam Pearce's face said everything.

Sheamus vs Bron Breakker IC Championship.

I liked the physicality, and speed of this match. Both men had a chopfight. Sheamus was sent over The announcers desk, but, this all came to a disapointing end, when Ludwig Kaiser got involved, and the match was thrown out. I liked the match. I just hated the ending.

The OG Bloodline Segment.

Jey, and. Jimmy Uso, and. Sami Zayn, where seen trying to get Seth Rollins on side, to join their team for Wargames. Seth said No, but things can still change.

War Raiders vs Dominik Mysterio And Carlito.

This Match screamed one word. Skip. The War Raiders got the win. This. Was very flat.

Lyra Valkyria Vingnette.

I have a question for you guys. When was the last time we saw Lyra Valkyria? I feels like it's been a long minute.

Kofi Kingston And Xavier Woods Segment.

Kofi Kingston was talking backstage to The Alpha Academy, that was until Xavier Woods showed up, feeling a bit guilty, about how things have turned out recently, but when Kofi excepted this, Xavier took it the wrong way, and had a go at Otis, when he tried to give Xavier some advice. Xavier then put, he and Kofi, in a Tag Match against them next week.

Seth Rollins vs Big Bronson Reed.

I liked this. From the decent physicality, to the Bloodline two sides back up, becoming the main backdrop of this main event. Bronson got the win, after Solo appeared on the announcers table, this allowed Bronson to hit seth with a Tsunami, for the win. Wargames is starting to look a bit tasty isn't folks.

Overview Of WWE Monday Night Raw.

This. Was. A rough edition of weekly TV. The promos felt forced, and the in-ring work, was hit and miss.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a mid 6/10.

My Top 5 Times Wrestling pissed Off My Family.

  Intro.

Look guys I love my family, but when it comes to wrestling, I know for a fact that over the space of the last 30-plus years, I've driven them around the bend. Here's just a 5 list. Prepare yourselves, because you're going to laugh, you might cry, and you might want to punch me, so here goes nothing.

5 My puppy was made to acknowledge her Tribal Chief.

My mum hated this. I made my Puppy Jayne acknowledge her Tribal Chief. This was vital at the time.

4 Can I Go To WWF Insurrextion. NO.

Agh yes. The WWF in the early noughties, me and my friend Tim, were, and are still big fans of the WWE, and if you remember these times, especially over here in the UK. The WWF was red hot, and as soon as they announced a PPV for these shows. Me and my mate were all over it, pissing off our parents, and what I did was, well, annoying. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. No. Mum can I go To WWF Insurrextion. No. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. No. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. Just shut up. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. Just shut the f*** up. She turned the air very blue.

3. Wrestling Is Fake.

9 year old had this debate with my dad, and guess what. I lost, oh well somethings  have never changed.

2 Clotheslines Suck.

Agh yes, the time when I clotheslined my older Brother, hah that'll teach him, for saying that The Rock Is fake.

1 My Family Has Had To Put Up With Me.

My poor old family has had to put up with a wrestling fan, that has been raised on the fed, yeah I know, they have the tolerance levels of saints.



Top 5 Celebrity Appearances In Wrestling That Are Questionable Knowing What We Now Know.

Intro. 

Celebrities have always had a place in the Pop Culture mainframe, and wrestling is no differant, but not all of these individuals are the image of perfection. With multiple scandals surrounding these individuals, these moments have not aged well.

5 U.S President Donald Trump Various. 

Donald Trump has had an interesting time with He Who Shall Not Be Named former empire. From Wrestlemania 4 and 5, being held at Trump Plaza. Mania 23, he over saw the headshaving of an awful human being, to guest hosting Monday Night Raw In  June of 2009. None of these moments have aged well, given what we know about this narscasistic human being.

4 Kid Rock Monday Night Raw June 2000.

Oh my, were do I begin with this. Homophobic, transphobic, waste of human exscrament. His performance of American Badass, was used as The Undertakers entrance theme until December of that year, when the WWF changed it to Rollin by LimpBizkit. Kid Rock over the past decade has come under fire for supporting Donald Trump, and has said some horrific things in the wake of Budweisers deal with Dylan Mulvaney. I don't stand for any form of phobia.

3 Mike Tyson.

This Man has a catalogue of controversies suurrounding him, but it's prison sentence for Sexual Assault that lasted from 1989-1994 that has placed him on this list. I get that placing him on the build for Wrestlemania 14, facing off with Stone Cold Steve Austin was a business masterstroke, but tact needed to be the main focus, and It wasn't. Even though as a boxing fan. I'm admirer of Iron Mikes. I don't condone what he was put in prison for.

2 P Diddy.

P Diddy, at Wrestlemania 29. With all of the accusations surrounding this man at the time writing, this hasn't aged well at all.

1 Jared The Subway Guy.

This Guy. Made multiple adverts with John Cena for Subway, and yeah, none of this aged well. Jared is serving time in a Federal Prison for crimes against Children. Enough said.

AEW Collision Review 17.11.2024.

Intro.

As the year starts to wind down. I sit here on a Sunday Morning having just Watched, AEW Guns And Roses montage package, and the main thoughts that ran through my mind, was, wow, the year has gone by quick. AEW Full Gear is next Saturday, and I have to say. I'm looking forward to this PPV. Dynamite this week, may have fallen by the wayside, in terms of quality, it hasn't detered my enjoyment of the product, that has been coming out, on a weekly basis.

Marieh May And Anna Jay Seen Showing Up.

AEW, then tried to take the piss out of WWE, by having to of their stars, in Anna Jay, and. Marieh May, show up to the arena.

Mina Shirakawa vs Harley Cameron.

I didn't like this. The Match fell very flat, and never recovered. Mina got the win, and she will have a celebration with Marieh next week, at Full Gear.

Daniel Garcia vs Johnny TV.

This. Is. Another Match, that fell flat to me, and never recovered. Jack Perry Kidnapping Daddy Magic, was a highlight, but that's it. The physicality was predictable, and the match stagnated as a result. Garcia got the win, and we were shown Perry attacking Magic, he tried to take him for a ride, but this backfired, and Garcia, caught up with Perry, and they flipped reversed the script, and took Postman Perry for a ride. The Match wasn't very good, but this had me laughing.

Lio Rush Segment.

Lio Rush, is looking to the future, and you know what I don't blame him, because he's ace, and he's seven years younger than me. Which is amazing, in my opinion.

Shelton Benjamin vs Kommander.

I didn't like this. The Match felt clunky, and it's a shame, because this had a lot of promise. Shelton got the win, and then he and MVP tried to unmask kommander, which led to Alex Abrahantez, to get flawed by MVP, who also had a few words with Max Castor, later on.

Kris Statlander Segment.

I have no other words, other than. Hikaru Shida vs Kris Statlander, yes please.

Powerhouse Hobbs vs Bronson.

Powerhouse Hobbs, beat. Bronson of the Iron Savages, in a squash Match, that was flat, but also resembled two big men slapping meat.

Roderick Strong Has Some Words For MJF.

Roderick Strong, then had a backstage segment with Renee Paquette, and he had some words for Max, and all I can say is this. I think this match could be a sleeper hit, at the PPV.

Tag Team Full Gear Qualifier.

The Acclaimed, beat. Rush, and. The Beast Mortas, in a decent TV Match. Jake Roberts had fun, giving Max Castor a right hook, to the back of the head. Max's pre Match rap cut to the gut, and. The Acclaimed got the win, completing the four way, for the PPV next weekend. I liked this.

The Conglomeration Segment.

Ishii, has no words for Chris Jericho, so Mark Briscoe, and Rocky Romero, took up the fight, and all I have to say is this. God Bless you gentlemen.

FTR Segment.

FTR vs The Outrunners, at a later date, yes please. They want Gold. No, don't seperate from my guys The Outrunners. I might cry if this happens, because everything should be about The Outrunners.

AEW Womens Championship No Dq Match Marieh May vs Anna Jay.

I liked all of this. From Nigel Mcguinness's jealousy, when Marieh May rested on Tony Schiavone, after the chaos had started. Both ladies had fun with Ladders, and trash can fun. Marieh whipped Anna like a goverment Mule. Deonna Purrazzo, and. Taya Valkarye, were seen watching on, as the violence ensued. Marieh's transition into a table spot, was a bit awkward, but that's what made it so endearing. Marieh May, then got suplexed onto a guardrail bed. Anna turned to her old friend Barbwire, and tried to mane May, with her Queenslayer submission hold, this allowed May to hit Jay with her Storm Zero finisher. Mina Shirakawa then came to celebrate, and all was right with the world. ( I think )

Jon Moxley Segment.

I loved this Segment. I'm currently enjoying were AEW is taking Jon's direction. I understand that not everyone has liked this, but I think it's revived some good energy in the company. Cassidy, and. Mox Next Weekend, is going to be a sight to be seen.

November Rain Montage.

AEW, then showed a video montage of Novembers best moments, soundtracked to November Rain, by. Guns And Roses. This was perfect. I liked all of this, and it was a great way to end the broadcast. As you can also tell. I love Guns And Roses.

Overview Of AEW Collision.

I thought this broadcast was an uneven mix-bag, that has me feeling quite pleased having just watched it. The Promos went from poor to good, and the in-ring work followed that same pattern.

This weeks AEW Collision is a mid 7/10.



Saturday, 16 November 2024

WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

Intro.

With the flatlining disaster that was Monday Night Raw, in the rearview mirror of life. It was time to take a look at Paul Leveques, proper endeavour into the world of Cinema. Cheers Papa H. 

Superstars Seen Showing Up

Naomi. Nia Jax, and. The Motorcity Machine Gunns, were all seen showing up to the arena, ahead of their Championship Matches, later on in the show.

Cody Rhodes Segment.

I liked all of this. Cody came out, and he didn't do his normal bask in the fans, he looked like he was in a differant mood than normal, and then all was revealed, he called out Kevin Owens. But, he was met by Nick Aldis, who informed Cody, that because of KO's actions last week, against. Randy Orton, he has told KO, to stay away from Smackdown for this week. Nick told Cody, that he can't let him go into business for himself, because if he did, it would feel like he would be letting the inmates run the asylum. Cody then explained the relevence of family, and how he feels about Randy Orton, he told Aldis, that the ball is in his court, as he walked out to end the segment. I liked all of this. KO Answered this back perfectly later on, via a video message.

OG Bloodline Segment.

Jey, and. Jimmy Uso, and. Sami Zayn, were backstage waiting on Roman, this was a superb episode long run through thread.

WWE Womens United States Championship Tournament.

Bayley, beat. Candace Lerae, and. B-Fab, to advance even further in the tournament. I didn't like this. It felt a bit predictable to me.

LA Knight Segment.

My guy LA Knight was out next, to host an open challenge. His promo beforehand, stated that he's a fan of British Northern Popstars from the 1990's, he said that he isn't like Logan Paul, because he will defend his belt, whenever he can, and he doesn't care if The Bloodline implodes. He called anyone out from the back, and he was greated by Legado Delfantasma. He and Santos then engaged in a decent promo dual, that levied from pissing off fans in Milwaukee. Basketball, and, well. Sex. Humberto, took up the fight, and lost, in a flat TV Match. What followed this, was the best thing on the show.

Old vs New Bloodline Segment.

Jey. Jimmy, and. Sami, are seen walking into Romans dressing room, and Sami told him, that they've got no one, because. The Bloodline have burnt a lot of bridges, they then watched Solo, and his crew come out to the ring. After he failed to get the fans to Acknowledge him. Roman and his OG Bloodline walked out, and a fight broke out, this had its great storybeats, like Roman saving sami from a samoan spike. Roman facing off against Jakub Fatu, and of course. Big Bronson Reed, helping Solo, and his gaggle of dicks, he's their 5th man, and you wait. Seth Rollins will be The OG Bloodlines 5th member, yes this predictable, but it's a great story development. I loved all of this.

Motorcity Machine Gunns vs The Street Profits WWE Tag Team Chjampionship.

This Match was thrown out, when a pissed off Tommasso Ciampa, got involved. Johnny Gargano tried to stop him, but this fell on def ears. Angelo Dawkins then slapped Alex Shelley in frustration. This. Was, a bit meh. In my opinion

Nia Jax vs Naomi WWE Womens Championship.

NIa Jax, retained her WWE Womens Championship, in a solid TV Match. I liked all of this, from The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, giving Jade, and. Bianca, a battering, Bayley taking out Tiffany Stratton, to Naomi scoring some great near falls. But, it wasn't to be, as Nia hit Naomi with an Enialator for the win.

Roman Reigns Segment.

Roman was seen backstage in his locker room, trying to call The Wiseman, but all he got was the this number you have called hasn't been recognised. This. Was a great way to send the show off the air.

Overview Of WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

Cody's, and. The Bloodline Segments were great, and. Nia, and. Naomi was solid, but the rest of the show fell flat, and never recovered.

This weeks WWE Friday Night Smackdown is decent 7/10.

 Top 5 Saddest Moments In Wrestling History.

Intro.

Wrestling has the ability to hit you in the feels, when you least expect it, but just like, whether it's through moments of retirement, or remembering those we've lost. Wrestling can take fans on an emotional ride, that can have ever lasting effects.

5. Goodbye Brodie.

On Boxing 2020. John Huber, better known as Brodie Lee, sadly passed away. AEW did an incredible job, paying tribute to their fallen brother. The episode entitled. Brodie Lee A Celebration Of Life. Was a reminder, that life is too short people. Hug the ones you love.

4. The Ultimate Warriors Death.

Even though I think, that the man behind the Ultimate Warrior Character, is nothing short of an awful human being. His impact on the industry, back in the early 1990's was something to be seen. James Helwig passed away on April 8th in a hotel In Arizona, just days after being inducted into the 2014 WWE Hall Of Fame, and just hours after making his final appearance on Monday Night Raw. He left behind two children.

3 Ric Flairs Retirement.

Even though my opinion on Flair has changed over the years. At the time this had me crying. Enough said.

2. Daniel Bryans Retirement.

This came from out of leftfield, and it stung. Imagine this. How you would you feel if you had your dreams taken away, at the peak of your powers? The look that was etched on Danielsons face, at this time in febuary 2016, just said everything.

1 Goodbye Bray.

As a wrestling fan, for over thirty years of my life. I will never forget this. Just two days after Bray passed. Real name Windham Rotunda. I attended AEW All In, a couple of days after the news broke, and even the show was flooded with emotional tributes, from. The House Of Black. Britt Baker, and. The Young Bucks, what stuck in brain was this. I was waiting to get into the Stadium, and all I could hear over the pa system, was. Brays entrance music. I've never cried outside Wembley Stadium before, until then.

My Top 5 Favourite Tag Team Matches.

Intro.

If there's one thing that i've noticed over the past couple of years. It's the fact that mainstream North American Wrestling company's are putting the empathys, back into Tag Team Wrestling, this is something, that I feel has been needed for quite some time, as teams like. DIY. The Street Profits. The Young Bucks, and. Private Party, all paving the way as the stars of today, that a newer audience will look at one day, the same way I looked at Edge and Christian, and. The Hardy Boyz. The Matches that I grew up watching, are the ones, that have stuck in my brain, as the definition of excellence, so this got me thinking, what are the greatest Tag Team Matches to ever grace, a wrestling ring? Lets have a look into my mind.

5 Edge And Christian vs The Hardy Boyz Steel Cage Match WWF Unforgiven 2000.

I love this match, the storythread that led to this, didn't exactly hit for me, but the Match delivered, and it's an underlined classic, yes, this team had better matches, but this is one of my personal favourites.

4 FTR vs The Young Bucks AEW Dynamite April 2022.

With a run time that went well over twenty minutes. I loved this Match. The speed, chemistry, and, physicality that this was performed with, is something to be marvelled at.

3 Edge And Christian vs The Hardy Boyz Ladder Match WWF No Mercy 1999.

This Match often gets called, the greatest Tag Team Match Of All Time, and I would love to here the argument as for why. My god this is a classic, and it redefined the way Tag Team matches, are worked, and perceived in the mainstream media.

2 TLC 2.

With Wrestlemania 17's main build centering around, two Matches. HHH vs The Undertaker, and. The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin, it was the 2nd endeavour of this daring Match, that Stole the show. The Hardy Boyz. Edge And Christian, and. The Dudley Boyz, all put on a show, that encapulated into a twenty minute masterpiece.

1 The Young Bucks vs Hangman Adam Page And Kenny Omega AEW Revolution 2020.

This Match acts as a timeline, for what was set to come just around the corner. to me, this is the best Tag Team Match Of All Time, putting it bluntly, this Match is pure perfection.  Enough said.

My Top 5 Joe Hendry Music Performances

5 Miley Cyrus

This actually happened, he came to the ring to face. I believe four other opponents, in a bouncy ball, and it was hilarious

4 Ethan Page Put On Some Clothes.

No truer words have ever been said about Ethan Page, other. Put On Some Clothes.

3 Hello Big Damo.

What do you get when the add Joe hendry. Big Damo, and. Hagrid from the Harry Potter Movies, and put them all together. Perfection that's what.

2 Grimsby Sucks.

I just think this is really funny, apologies if you're reading this and your from Grimsby.

1 Say His Name.

I can't say the title of this song, because if I do, then Joe Hendry will just appear from out of nowhere. I hope this makes it to Eurovision. 


My Top 5 AEW Will Osperay Matches.

Intro.

I know what you guys are thinking, but. Patrick. Will Osperay has bangers in ROH. NJPW, and other worldwide promotions, and I get that, but to me, this was when his career, really started to shift into another gear, so I decided to keep this list solely based on his AEW run, up until this point.

5 Will Osperay vs Konosuke Takeshita AEW Revolution 2024.

This. Is. One of my 10 Matches of this year, and if you watched when it happened, then you will understand why, because this is a genuine masterpiece. The physicality, the chemistry that both men showcased, and the all round execution, was simply perfect.

4 Will Osperay vs Swerve Strickland AEW And NJPW Forbidden Door 2024.

I've heard stories, about how some bad faith actors online, didn't like this Match, but I think it's an underrated lofi burner, that on the night delivered.

3 Will Osperay vs Bryan Danielson AEW Dynasty 2024.

I've heard a lot of Wrestling Journalists say that this is there Match of the year. I think this Match is exceptional, but it's not my Match of the year. The in-ring work here was beyond solid, and the match told a decent story. I just feel that this match, was missing a vital ingridient. I just don't know what that is.

2 Will Osperay vs MJF AEW All In 2024.

I'm going to be a bit biased here, because I attended this show, but for me, this was the best match on the card, it was just insane to watch, this type of high quality match in my home country. The day beforehand. I was at the AEW All In Meet Up, and I saw Will when the head of a toy company told him he has become an action figure, and he could not be more proud of this development, because his son will have a real life daddy doll. This blended in nicely with the storyline, that he, and. Maxwell were embedded in at the time. I was hooked on what was going on in front of me, from the moments that there entrances unfolded, until the very end, that saw a superb amount of near falls, and exchanges, that saw the match through to it's glorious end. This. Is. My Match of the year.

1 Will Osperay vs Kenny Omega AEW And NJPW Forbidden Door 2024.

I you haven't seen this match, then I don't know what to tell you other than, it's truly a piece of genius, performed by two of the industry's best workers.

AEW Dynamite Review 14.11.2024.

Intro.

With Full Gear just nine days away, at the time of writing. I have to say I'm fully looking forward to this PPV. I think AEW, even though it finds itself in a state of flux. is currently going through a bit of a, to use a Sci Fiction term, bit of a metamorphis, because they are currently going through changes, that in my mind, i'm enjoying very much, so with that sad I say, let the carnage begin.

Christian Cage And Hangman Adam vs Jay White And Juice Robinson.

I didn't like this, an opener. I liked the fact that it played off the back of LTS, from this Summer, but overall I thought this felt like a make good, from the bad match, that. Cage, and. White had, a few weeks ago, that wasn't very good. Nick Wayne got attacked by Hook, and. Kip Sabian helped his new dad, when he hit juice with, that awful looking version of a filefax, allowing Hangman to hit with his deadeye for the win. Yeah, i'm not sure what to make of this.

Mercedes Mone Segment.

I liked all of this, because it was set up like the reveal of a Hollywood Movie Villain. Mercedes had a go at Camille, for having bad driving skills, and then it happened. Mercedes opened up her big mouth, about. Kris Statlander, and there she stood, she started to Batter Mercedes. Camille tried to save her abusive Boss, but she got taken out as well. Statlander ended up sphering both ladies through a wall. This had me thinking of that time when Eddie kingston mugged off the J.A.S outside, an airport, because this was on sight.

Will Osperay Segment.

There's a recurring theme throughout this broadcast. The Promo duals are the strongest thing on the show, and for my money, this was the best. Will was set to be interviewed by Tony Schiavone, but, instead he called out his old mate. Kyle Fletcher, all of this was awesome, from Will disabling kyles weapon, that he had hidden, the urgentcy of family, to. Kyle trying to escape the shadow of Will Osperay, through The Damn It Don Callis. This led to Kyle challenging Will to a Match at Full Gear. Will accepted, making Kyle feel like he isn't good enough, leading him Kyle to say that, he's going to take everything away from him, Will then said that, he knew he didn't come alone. Lance Archer, and. Brian Cage, came out, but they were met by. Mark davis, and. Powerhouse Hobbs, a massive fight then ensued, that bled into the next match, as Roderick came out, and Takeshita was taken out by Ricochet at the top of the stage.

Roderick Strong vs Lance Archer No Dq. Adam Cole vs Konosuke Takeshita.

I had a lot of fun watching this at 8am in the morning. They thought in the fans, and they thought in the backstage area. The production did a good job to hide AEW's short comings, because this was a well paced fun ride, that saw. The undisputed Kingdom, save their leader from a double Chokeslam, when Brian Cage got involved, and later on Matt Taven was the sacrificial lamd, to the slaughter, when archer chokeslammed him onto a load of Security Guards, this brought forward a great final exchange, that saw Strong get the win, with a big knee. I liked all of this. Takeshista came out, and attacked Roderick. This brought out Adam Cole, and as if by magic, their match was underway. I feel this match benefitted from coming off of the back, of a red hot match. I liked all of this, all but, the finish. Takeshita used the Dynamite Gold Ring, to take out Cole, and get a clean pin, to me this was a cheap way to end a decent match. Cole won't be facing Max, at. Full Gear. It will be Strong instead, this does make booking sense, because Cole vs MJF is a solid go, for Worlds End. Strong took to the mic, at the end of his Match, and said that Max sucks.  All whilst Max laughed his ass off.

Bobby Lashley Segment.

Bobby Lashey, said, that he's going to hurt Swerve Strickland, and. MVP showed Renee Paquette how to do her job.

Deathriders Segment.

I loved all of this. Claudio, and. Pac, battered. Jd Drake, and. Mox, and. Marina Shafir, then walked through the fans, and the take over, that wasn't really a take over, begin. Marina took over the camera man position, and Mox went straight to work, and cut one hell of a promo, he said that Orange Cassidy couldn't save Chuck Taylor, and. Wheeler Yuta walked away from him, because he's gravitated towards Mox, he said at Full Gear, he's going to make an example of Cassidy, and brutalise him, because he's the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, and his crew run AEW. Orange cassidy came out, and he and Jon, had a fantastic promo dual. This. Was, a perfect way to examplify the meaning of the championship. Jon then ended things by telling Cassidy, and us at home, to abandon all hope, in the aftermath of their match. Darby Allin then took up the fight, by taking everyone out from the top of an exit, this lead to some mad capers in the car park. 

The Learning Tree.

Ishii will face Chris Jericho, in two weeks time, for the ROH Championship. Oh boy, were do I begin with this. I have no other words.

Britt Baker vs Penelope Ford.

Britt Baker, beat. Penelope Ford in a decent TV Match, and Sarena Deeb, then called her out in the aftermath. The crowd was dead for this.

Mina Shirakawa Is Back.

Mina Shirakawa is back, and this pissed off Harley Cameron. Renee Paquette then acted like my mum, when she had seperate me and brother, when we were kids. Tits vs Tits people. It's a thing. ( apparently )

Swerve Strickland vs Lio Rush.

Swerve Strickland, beat. Lio Rush, in a solid TV Match. He then took to the mic, and called out Bobby Lashley for a fight. MVP came out, with Bobby, and said, that if he wants a fight, all he has to is ask, but he needs to take one thing in mind, strength in numbers. Shelton Benjamin then attacked Swerve from behind, and this led to a great beat down. Not even Prince Nana was safe. I liked this. Swerve mate, here's a little tip, say the right name of the town in future.

Jamie Hayter Segment.

Ok what was this. Jamie Hayters segment was infused with Julia Harts return. Ok I guess.

FTR vs Kings Of The Black Throne.

I have mixed feelings about this Match. Malakai Black's NXT throwbacks fell flat, and didn't resonate with me, and i'm an NXT stan. However the later parts, fell into the terroritory of becoming a lofi banger, and it did. The near falls made sense, as they carried the physicality. Brody King won by choking out Dax Harwood.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite.

I liked this weeks Dynamite, but I didn't love it. The fans were dead throughout large parts of the show, and this hampered my viewing experience. Yes there was some good stuff on here that I enjoyed, and like I said earlier I'm looking forward to the PPV, in over nine days, but it feels inconcequential, and unimportant, which is a shame when all is considered.

This weeks Dynamite is 8/10, but only just.

Another Top 5 Kenny Omega Matches.

Intro.

If you know me, then you will know I have a love for one man. Kenny Omega. Earlier this year I wrote a top 5 list of my favourite Kenny Omega Matches, and I decided to have a go at writing another one. 

5 Kenny Omega vs Ethan Page AEW Collision December 2023.

As the standard of how TV Matches go. I think you guys should give this a watch, because this is excellent, and a sleeper hit from last year.

4. Kenny Omega vs MJF AEW Collision November 2023.

what do you get, when you put two of my favourite wrestlers in a Match together, well, perfection in my opponent. I love this Match, and it was well deserving of its 5 stars from big bad daddy Dave Meltzer.

3 Kenny Omega vs Penta AEW Dynamite October 2020.

TV Matches have a funny way of making us fans feel all kinds of emotions, and this Match did just that. I think this is one of the best TV Matches ever, in my opinion.

 2 Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada 4.

Some people say that this is the best Match, that these two have ever had, personally for me it's their first bout, that takes that prize. But this is still a great view.

1 Kenny Omega vs Tetsuya Naito G1 Climax 27 Final.

If you've never seen this Match, then I urge you to check this out, because. It's genuinely amazing. Their In-ring chemistry was amazing, and the physicality was well paced, and superb.


 How Wrestling Made Me Feel Like Myself.

Warning.

Just a heads up guys I will be discussing themes, like, bullying, and, suicide, reader discretion is advised.

School Days.

My teen years is something that I like to talk about in a joking sense, but these days, were quite trying. There's a reason why I will always stand for fairness, in everything that I do in my life. My friends were bullied badly, to the of near suicide. As a wrestling fan, I would use, watching my favourite stars, as a coping strategy. Music also helped, however this wasn't always the case, because they were my friends, I was also bullied. This would come at a time, when the WWE wasn't perticually cool, so we were basically outcasts, which made us easy targets. Even though mine was mental, and not physical. I hated how I was treated, to the point, that I thought. I wish I had a gun, and what I would do with it. So one Monday after school. I went to my friends house, and I opened up about everything that was going on. I went round to my friends house to watch that years Survivor Series,  the night after he had ordered it  on Sky Box Office, but it turned into a cryfest, but it was important, because that event, especially the main event, saved my life. And it taught me a very valuble lesson, if you're going through something bad, to the point, that your forced to question yourself in a negative light, just remember. Like one of my childhood heroes Shawn Michaels, you can get through anything.

Big Dreams And Even Bigger Arseholes.

As I got older, my fandom reached new heights. I found the same issues would resurface, this time I was in my early thirties, and my work life was nowhere were I wanted it to be. I was taking things from people that I shouldn't, and it's only now, when I look back on things. I see it for what It really was. Bullying, and it was coming from my bosses. This started to become even more amplified, and I felt there was nothing I could do, because who was going to listen to me, a sorry weak wrestling fan. I would get home, and was able to lose myself, by watching my favourite shows. WWE NXT. AEW Dynamite, and. WWE Friday Night Smackdown, and my problems would go away, just for a few hours, and then one day I realised, these people aren't worth my time, and It was in this moment, that I decided, to turn this negative, and turn it into something positive, and become an awesome Blogger. I do this for you guys.

If you've been affected by any of the issues written in this piece you can call.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review 12.11.2024.

Intro.

It's official. It's Survivor Series Season, and big questions are arising around the build, because I can't call what it's going to look like. Yes. The Bloodline story is the company's main focus, but that doesn't mean that. WWE should leave out all the rest. The creative needs to take a look in the mirror, as we head into the Netflix Era of the company.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Jade, and. Bianca, and. The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, were all seen showing up to the arena, ahead of their Tag Team Championship Match, later on tonight.

Gunther Segment.

I liked this. Gunther came out, and he looked like he was in a pissed off mood. He spoke about looking to the future, and outcame Damian Priest, and the pair had a great promo dual, that paid shade to their rivalry in the summer, that was held up, with the relevence of today. Priest put the sead of doubt in Gunthers head. Priest tries to tempt Gunther into a fight, but. Ludwig Kaiser then came, and. Gunther stops him. Priest then decks Kaiser after calling him street trash.

Damage Ctrl vs PFC.

Damage Ctrl, beat. The PFC, in a flat TV Match, but hey, at least Dakota Kai is back.

The Bloodline Recruitment Segments

Jimmy showed up, to his brother Jey, and. Sami, and at first he seemed pissed off, and then the focus, was put on the job in hand, finding a 5th member for their wargames team. Sami later asked Seth, to join them at Survivor Series, and the answer was No, and Jimmy asked Bron Breakker, but we didn't hear the answer. Seth later told Solo, that he wouldn't team with him, because he's a Roman wannabe.

Pete Dunne vs Kofi Kingston.

I didn't like this. It felt underwhelming, and was a storybased piece of drivel. Pete Dunne got the win, and Kofi, and Xavier continued down their route of seperation. Just get on with it guys.

The Judgement Day Segment.

Finn Balor, then put The Human Oven in his place, and next week, they will face, he and carlito, will face. Jd, and. Finn, what is the point in this.

Big Bronson Read Segment.

Big Bronson Read, then cut a promo on Seth Rollins, and just like that, as if by magic, outcame Seth Rollins, and both men engaged in a fight. Seth will face Bronson for the last time, next week. I didn't like this. I feel that Seth needs to move on at this point, because WWE haven't advanced Bronsons character forward much, over the past few months.

Ludwig Kaiser vs Damien Priest.

Damien Priest, beat. Ludwig Kaiser, in a standard, predictable TV Match, that offered nothing.

Bron Breakker Segment.

Bron Breakker wants to batter Sheamus, and. Sheamus, wants to batter Bron Breakker, perfect. The pair will face each other next week for Brons Intercontinental Championship.

The Miz Segment.

Oh hallejuah. The Miz is ok, however Karrion Kross is pissed off. The Final Testement dragged him out to the ring, and asked him, were are The Wyatt Sick, because they want revenge, for what they did to Paul Ellering, and as if by magic, they showed up, because it was all a work. The Miz attacked Eric Rowan, and a fight ensued, this was terrible, and badly scripted.

The Mulletchaser And Raquel Rodriguez vs Jade And Bianca WWE Womens Tag Team Championship Match.

I didn't like this. It, like most of the matches on this card, felt slow, and predictable. Nia and Tiffany came out, and attacked. Jade, and. Bianca, as a retaliation from last fridays Smackdown. Naomi evened out the numbers, and helped the champs retain. This. Was a poor way to end the broacast.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

As you guys have already read. I wasn't a fan of this weeks Raw. It felt predictable, and when you're going into one of your biggest PLE's of the year, putting out a show like this, just isn't good enough.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a low 3/10.
