Top 5 Dana White Rants.

 Intro.

One thing you guys might not know about me is this, i'm not just a big fan of Pro Wrestling, because i'm also a fan big of the UFC. And it's biggest moments don't just come from inside the cage, they can also be created by the mouth of promotions President. Dana White, and he'a at his best, when he's all kinds of Lex Luthor angry, so I decided to whittle down his best rants.

5 Elite FC.

I'm starting off hot, because my god this one is an oldie, but an insanely good one. Elite FC were a one time PPV company, and their only event was headlined by Seth Petruzelli vs Kimbo Slice. Seth came out in the aftermath and said that he was told by the promoters, to keep the fight standing, and not go to the ground with Kimbo. Dana had a lot to say about this, and it's a foul mouthed verbal treat for the ears. If I ever have a bad day, this is what I watch to make myself feel better.

4 Anderson Silva 

This one is another classic. After the farce that was the main event of UFC 112. The year was 2010, the PPV was headlined by Anderson Silva vs Damian Meia, and the fight was an all out embarressment caused by former the  UFC Middleweight Champion. Dana said in the aftermath that he was so angry that he gave the belt to Anderson's manager, and told him to put the belt on him. Oh to be a fly on the wall when Dana had words with The Spider. His next opponent would be Chael Sonnen, a man who had no respect for anyone, to the point that they had to move an entire PPV out of Brazil, due to fighter safety concerns.

3. Forrest Griffin.

The aftermath of UFC 148 was an interesting thing. Forrest Griffin after his fight against a retiring Tito Ortiz, he walked out the cage. This pissed off the Bostonian, who chased Forrest down and could be heard yelling at him to get back in the cage, and when he did he morphed into a version of Joe Rogan, that no one wanted to see, as he took the mic from Joe, and went into business interviewing Tito. The press conference in the aftermath Forrest was told off like a school kid getting in a classroom late.

2. Golden Boy Promotions.

You need to see this, if you haven't then i'm going to give you the highlights. In the immortal words of Rick James. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

1. UFC 151.

What happens when your No1 contender for a major Championship, has to pull out with an injury, and you take another opponent to the champions camp. The fighter that pulled out of UFC 151 was Dan Henderson, the champion was Jon Jones. Dana took to the Jones camp the idea of him facing Chael Sonnen instead. The Jones camp that was headed up by Greg Jackson declined the fight, forcing Dana to cancel the entire event, due to fighter intrigue not being high enough on the undercard. The rant was mainly aimed at Greg Jackson, and it was an f-bomb tirade for the ages. I love Dana White for these reasons.

 

AEW Dynamite Review 27.2.2025.

Adam Copeland Segment.

Adam Copeland showed up to the arena in the back of an ambulance. I have my thoughts on what transpired later on. And there not good.

MJF Segment.

Last Summer was just a rouse, because MJF was seen backstage getting his AEW Tattoo removed, and saying that the only thing he now believes in is himself. This morphed into Hangman Adam Page turning up to the arena, and battering Aaron Solo in our opening Match. In the aftermath he took a microphone, and a steelchair, and went into business, by calling out MJF. Max came out and cut a stereotypical MJF Promo on Hangman, but with a twist, he was carrying a bloody rag, it turned out he had beaten up Christopher Daniels. Hangman rushed to the aid of his mentor, and later on in the broadcast he told Renee Paquette, in no certain words that's going Kill Max. I liked all of this.

Will Osperay vs Brian Keith.

I liked this. Was it the best Will Osperay I have ever seen? No, but it was damn entertaining, and a great blend of styles. The in ring work was excellent, the near falls were well timed, and the physicality made for good storybeats. Will got the win with his hidden blade finisher. Kyle Fletcher who was sat in a nice looking VIP Box, with Damn Don Callis, then had a pull apart brawl on the stairs, in and amongst the fans. This. Was. A great way to end the segment. I know there was a Chris Jericho Segment before this, and if i'm honest. It made me do my best Steve Carrell impersonation. No no no

Mercedes Mone Segment.

Mercedes Mone got threatened backstage by Komo wantanabe, with the aid of Billy Starks. Billy Starks in AEW, i'm all for this.

The Outrunners vs The Murder Machines.

The Outrunners got the win, and will now face The Hurt Syndicate at a later date for the Tag Team Titles, thanks to a awful WWE trope, but if i'm honest do I care? No, not really because the outrunners are going to be the next AEW Tag Team Champions. BECAUSE IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE OUTRUNNERS.

Swerve Strickland Segment.

I loved this. As Black History month comes to an end. The former AEW World Heavyweight Champion spoke about the history that he's made, from walking through the doors of AEW at Revolution 2022, to becoming Champion 2 years later. He said that he wants to get back on track, and win Gold, but first he has to deal with Jeffrey Dalmer, in mean Ricochet., because there done when he says so. This brought out Ricochet, who fired back, and says that he will not face Swerve, at any point, this was when Prince Nana stepped in, and said that earlier in the day, he had a conversation with Tony Khan, and if these two face each other, the winner will be the No1 Contender for the AEW World Championship. Dalmer agreed, and the Match was set for Revolution. Nana had words with Swerve after Ricochet had left the stage, and told him to get his act together, and bring his robe back, because if he doesn't then he's done. This. Was, by far the best segment of the night.

Ther Undisputed Kingdom vs FTR and Daniel Garcia.

I liked this. The action was as slick as I thought it would, and the ending came out of nowhere. Adam Cole got the win, by rolling up Garcia, after a piledriver attempt.

Adam Copeland Segment Part 2.

I hated this, but it's not for the reason you might think. Adam found Claudio, after that Vingnette aired with Claudio saying that he was going to hunt him down. Both men thought through the fans. Wheeler Yuta tried to get involved, and just as Both men had Adam down and out. Jay White makes the save. Marina Shafir comes  out, and climbs on Adam, this is were things get murky. Copeland gives Claudio a steel chair concerto, and threatens to do the same to Marina, but instead Willow Nightingale does the job for him. Mox watches as he can't do anything. This made me feel sick. In our year of 2025, we have a man towering over a helpless woman with a Steel Chair. I know that this wasn't dv, but in reality AEW need to be careful when doing things like this. Over here in the UK, and in America domestic violence cases rise during sport shows, so showing something like this on TV can be problematic. I hate Violence against Women, and I don't think this was a good idea. Be careful AEW. This did sour my enjoyment of the show. Were not in the year 1999.

Harley Cameron vs Deonna Purrazzo.

Harley Cameron, beat. Deonna Purrazzo, in what was a solid outing from both ladies.

Konosuke Takeshista vs Orange Cassidy AEW International Championship

I loved this. The flow was solid, and the in ring work was great, from sunglasses fun, to both men having awesome movesets, that counteracted with the physicality, and storytelling of the Match. Takeshista got the win, and will now face Kenny Omega at Revolution for the International Championship. Now I don't know about you guys, but I think Revolution is starting to look rather tasty isn't it?

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

Overall this weeks Dynamite was decent, but the act of near violence towards a female, did ruin part of my enjoyment. Now don't get me wrong. I get that this is wrestling, but I do feel that AEW went a bit to far on this ocassion, however the promos were great, and the in-ring work followed the same pattern.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 7/10.

 

My Top Wrestlers Who appeared on Childrens TV In The UK.

       Intro.

As a child growing up as a wrestling fan here in the UK. I have vast memories about some of the awful sludge that my Mum and Dad made me watch on a Saturday morning, and my god did we have trash on in those days, but when Pro wrestlers were on these shows, the world felt, well the same, sludgy, but a bit less sludgy, when you think about it. So lets get into it.

5 The Macho Man Randy Savage Going Live 1992.

This one is straight out of the did this actually happened lane. I watched it back recently for this list, and the only thing that I was left to say was. Oooooh yeeeeeaaaah.

4 Scott Hall Live And Kicking 1999.

This hasn't age well at all. I believe it was around these times that Scott was dealing with personal issues. And the interview segment was a joke, because he was clearly on the flirt, he even sang the phone number for the compettion. The announcer didn't take nicely to his brand of flirting.

3 Kurt Angle SMTV Live.

Agh yes SMTV Live, this was a staple of my early teenage years, and yes it was because of Cat Deeley. The show was co hosted by everyone's favourite annoying duo Ant And Deck, and it had it's own in show sitcom that ripped off friends, called Chums, and in one episode, they did a spoof on Jerry Springer, with Jerry Springer. Kurt Angle played a security guard. Now it's time for my final thought. These times were a lot simpler weren't they.

2. Goldberg on SMTV Live.

I was hoping that on this fateful Saturday morning that I was going to see Goldberg wreck a couple of annoying Geordies, but hey ho, you can't always have what you want in life.

1 The Undertaker And Paul Bearer On Gimme 5 Summertime 1994.

What happens when you put Paul Bearer, and. The Undertaker in a TV studio, with Ant And Deck, and. Jenny Powell in a TV studio together, with a bouncy castle. Utter TV Gold that's what.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review 25.2.2025.

        Intro.

As reports of mirale in WWE have started to surface, with staff members reportably speaking to the media. I have to say that I sympathise with these people. I have worked in retail for over 20 years, and have seen my fair share of upheaval and upset. Now granted it's under differant circumstances, my advice to those guys is this. Just keep moving. Things will get better, and remember just how great you are.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Gunther. Bianca Belair, and. Naomi. Liv Morgan, and. Raquel Rodriguez, and. Cody Rhodes. And Gunther, were all seen showingup to the arena. Gunther watching The Alpha Academy make TikToks. The look on his face said everything.

Logan Paul Segment.

This whole segment acted like storytime with a detestable Human being, and it was great, from Logan insulting fans, to impersonating Kendrick Lemar saying that he's humble, and that he's going to Elimination Chamber to become the no1 contender for Cody's championship. Cm Punk walked out, and just like that we were off to the races. This turned into a great promo dual. Punk tells Logan some home truths with a visceral approach, as this promo tour de force came to an end. This caused Logan to slap the voice of the voiceless. This. Was a great way to start the broadcast.

Ludwig Kaiser vs Pete Dunne vs Penta.

Ludwig Kaiser, beat. Pete Dunne, and. Penta, in what was a solid outing for all three men.

Jackie Redmond Rhea ripley Interview.

I liled this segment. Jackie Redmond Interviewed Rhea ripley, and. Mami was in good spirits, she said that he's got her attention on next Monday, when she faces Iyo sky for the WWE Womens championship, and one eye on this weekends womens Chamber Match. Iyo stepped into shot and told Rhea that she's going to be the next champion.

The New Day vs The LWO.

The New Day, beat. The LWO, in what was a flat, boring, and predictable TV Match.

Judgement Day Segment.

I have a song for The Judgement day. And it's this. Why can't they be friends, why can't they be friends. It rights itself really doesn't it.

Gunther Segment.

I loved this segment. Gunther told us that he's come around to the idea of facing Jey Uso, because it means he gets to make a joke out of him. He pitched an idea to Adam Pearce to face someone of his choosing tonight. He chose Akira Tazawa, and the Match itself wasn't bad. Tazawa put up a solid fight, put overall he couldn't out do Gunther, who choked him out for the win. Otis tried to help his friend from receiving a beatdown, but all this did was put himself in the firing line. Jey came out make the save. Jey closed Grayson wallers mouth later on in the broadcast.

     I Love Pat Mcafe. 

I know this is the pure defintion of marmite. So i'm just going to say it. I love Pat Mcafe. His energy is something that I can get behind.

Lyra Valkyria vs Dakota Kai WWE Womens Intercontinental Championship.

Lyra Valkyria, retained her Womens Intercontinental Championship, when she beat Dakota Kai, in what was a standard TV Match.

Sami Zayn Segment.

I have no words, other than you need to check this out, because this was awesome.

Bron Breaker vs Dominik Mysterio.

The match got thrown out, after The Judgement Day got involved. But don't worry everyone, because Bron Breakker wrecked everyone. I think The Judgement Day are finished.

Cody Rhodes Segment.

This segment was perfect. Cody came out and got straight to the point, he talked about the responsibilities, and pride that comes with the soul of his family name, and the gravity that comes with it. Seth Rollins comes out, and this turned into a sensational promo dual, from the echoes of history, to a tease of what could be coming. I loved this, both men gave everything to this segment, and it was great to see. Fire. Passion, and. Grace, yes please.

Bianca Belair And Naomi vs Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez WWE Womens Tag Team Championship.

I thought this main event was decent, but not great. It felt like there was something missing, and I can't put my finger on why. The physicality, and exchanges were great, but like I said before there was something missing, and I can't put my finger on what it was. Liv and Raquel are our new Tag Champs.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

I thought this was a solid broadcast, and a decent go home show, before a Major PLE. The in-ring work was good, but once again the promos stole the show.

This weeks Monday Night is a solid 8/10.

  My Top 5 Sporting Icons.

    Intro. 

As I was sitting at my desk this morning, I was thinking what should I write about, because I don't plan anything, I could do a list of my modern wrestling icons, but I thought, No. I instead thought to myself. Wrestlers hero's normally tend to be sporting Icon's, so this gave me an idea. I'm going to do my own Top 5 list of my own sporting Icons. ( Wrestlers maybe included )

5. Thierry Henry.

As some of you might know, i'm a massive Arsenal supporter, and this man did magic things with a football. This. Man is god. World Cup winner. 3 time FA Cup winner, and a 2 time Premier league winner, when he was at my club. Mr Va Va Voom instead.

4. Dennis Bergkamp.

If Thierry was a god, then this man was a close second. That goal against Newcastle, is one of the best That I have ever seen, and his overall play just screamed. I'll play anyone, anytime, anywhere.

3. Randy The Natural Couture.

Captain America, is better known to Comic Books fans like myself as Steve Rodgers, but to UFC fans, like myself. Randy The Natural Couture is Captain America. His fighting ability was a sight to be seen, and to think this is a guy who didn't take up MMA until he was in his late 30's, and retired from Professional Compettion when he was in his early 50's. This Man wasn't real.

2. Chuck Liddell.

It was one for the money, and two for the show, because this man blew the roof off any arena that he entered. His rivalry against Tito Ortiz, was seen as vital for the UFC back in the promotions early days. His back to basics fighting style, and likeable everyman persona, is something that I have always gravitated towards. Even though. There are some troubling alligations around this mans name in recent years, that I don't condone. It's how this person has impacted my life, and the memories that they've given me. Like I said. I do not condone DV. I just think that I have learnt a lot about myself watching this man fight.

1. The Rock.

What more can I say. This guy is arguably my idol, and  I don't think I believe in idols. So what does that tell you.

 

 AEW Collision Review 23.2.2025.

Superstars Seen Getting Ready.

Were skipping the Intro again peeps, so here goes nothing. Harley Cameron. Bandido. Chris Jericho, and. Toni Storm were all seen getting ready for the evening seperately, that was until Marieh May turned up and battered Toni. This. Was awesome. Marieh May dragged Toni onto the stage, she gave a storm zero, and asked for the spotlight to be  put on both of them, she cradled Toni, and told us, that At revolution their title Match is going to be timeless, so were going down this rabbit hole again.

Kazuchika Okada Segment.

Okada told us that he's put Buddy down like a dog, because he's not a bitch, lets be honest.

Hologram vs The Beast Mortos.

I liked this. The Match had a solid flow to it, that elevated over the duration of of its time. It was an excellent mesh of styles. Both men had some fantastic exchanges on the rampway. This led to the finish, after a great series of exchanges, that saw Hologram get the win by roll up. Kommander came out to help make the save, after The Beast wanted some afters in the aftermath.

Speedball Mike Bailey Vingnette.

Speedball Mike Bailey is on his way to AEW. If you've never seen this guy in action, then you're in for a treat.

Harley Cameron.

I love Harley Cameron. This segment was great. It took the shape of storytime with Harley Cameron, from growing up in Australia, to making her family proud, and achieving her dreams. Her humour here was great, and I can't lie. Harley Cameron is very likeable.

Gabe Kidd vs The Butcher.

Gabe Kidd, beat. The Butcher in a decent TV Match. Thank god they didn't give Gabe a microphone in the aftermath. Kenny Omega vs Gabe Kidd 2 at Forbidden Door. It does sound promising.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

Kyle Fletcher accepted Will Osperay's challenge for Revolution. Ok AEW take my money I don't need it.

Julia Hart vs Queen Aminata.

Julia Hart, beat. Queen Aminata, in a solid TV, with solid in ring work. I liked this.

The Murder Machines Segment.

I liked this. Lance Archer, and. Brian Cage decked a couple of Local enhancement talents, and then Brian Cage took to the mic and called out The Hurt syndicate. MVP took to the mic, and asked who do they think they are. He shamed Archer, and told them to take the Hurt Syndicate seriously, because if they want a shot of at the AEW Tag Team championships, they will decide the time and place. He told them, that if they can beat an actual Tag Team, then business might take place. Later on The Outrunners had words with MVP, and they were told the same thing as he did to the Murder Machines. MVP you so manipulative.

Action Andretti And Lio Rush Vingnette.

Am I the only person who think that these two look like a couple of perfume models.

Daniel Garcia Cool Hand Ange And Matt Mennard vs The Deathriders AEW Trios Championship.

The Deathriders, beat. Daniel Garcia. Cool Hand Ange, and. Matt Mennard in decent TV Match. However the aftermath undid all of the hard work. The Undisputed Kingdom came out to make the save, and chased of The Deathriders, making them look weak. Adam Copeland then came out and gave Pac a steel chair concerto twice, As Moxley watched on. I hated the way this ended.

Deonna Purrazzo And Taya Valkyrye Segment.

I hate school playground bullies. I didn't like any of this. Poor Harley Cameron.

Max Castor Open Challenge.

Max Castors Open Challenge. He got wrecked by Brody King. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Be careful what you wish for.

Chris Jericho vs Bandido ROH World Championship.

Don't get me wrong. I can't stand Chris Jericho nowadays, but this Match wasn't bad. It was actually excellent, and it brought out the best in both performers. Jericho got the win, and retained his belt, after an excellent final exchange. 

Overview Of AEW Collision. 

Well this was a suprise wasn't it. AEW Collision was actually good this week. I had a good time watching Collision this week, and I didn't need to break out the more to share Malteasers.

This weeks AEW Collision is a solid 8/10.

 WWE Friday Smackdown Review 22.2.2025.

       Intro.

Is it just me, or has the last few day in wrestling been a bit mad. From two ladies going into business for themselves on Wednesday night. Shane getting blanked like an ex-girlfriend by Tony, and The Great One, saying that he's going to be on this broadcast. By the time Friday Night came around. My head was spinning. Right it's time to have a nice and relaxing Saturday afternoon.

      Superstars seen Showing Up.

Tiffany Stratton. Naomi and Bianca Belair, and. Cody Rhodes were all seen showing up to the arena. Nick Aldis told Cody on arrival that he has been pulled from the main event, because he's being summoned by The Final Boss.

Drew Mcintyre vs Jimmy Uso.

I liked this. I thought it was a solid piece of business. The Match had a solid flow, with some decent back and forth action, and well crafted near falls. Jimmy got the by roll up. This pissed Drew off, who then attacked Jimmy in the aftermath. Officials managed to seperate them, but Drew came back, and gave Jimmy a claymore.

The Temu Bloodline.

Don't worry guys. EVERYTHING IS OK WITH THE TEMU BLOODLINE. And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

Mizelo Don't Miss vs R Truth And LA Knight.

The Prior segment that came beforehand was laughable, but the Match was solid, and a tad unpredictable. Mizelo got the win.

Tiffany Stratton Segment And Match Against Candace Lerae.

Tiffy Stratton was out next, and she went straight to town, and embraced her inner Marieh Carey, and said everyone is obsessed with her, and said that at Elimination Chamber when she teams up with that awful human being lover, to face Nia and Candace, the days of the Nia's force will be over. She then called out Charlotte Flair, and said that she's coming for her position, to be the top Girl on the blue brand. Nia, and Candace then came out, and this promotrain got turned into a farce. Their words felt unrealistic, and the Match that followed, was over way to quickly. Tiffany got the win, and I came away from this thinking, this was draining. Charlotte Flair on commentary added nothing to proceedings, and as for seeing Trish Stratus. I'm done.

Bianca And Naomi Segment.

Bianca Belair, and. Naomi, were seen backstage, telling Nick Aldis, that they're ready for Monday Night, when they face Liv, and. Raquel. Liv, and. Raquel then gave them a beating. We were due to get Naomi vs Liv, but no WWE decided to WWE.

Alexa Bliss Vingnette.

Alexa Bliss said that she's going to bring hell to the Elimination Chamber next week. Ok I need to know were to get one of those Lily dolls, because my dog jane will become best friends with it.

The Rock Segment.

From him announcing that Mania is coming to New Orleans next year. Insulting the fans in a non pc way, to being an all round showman. This whole segment was simply awesome. The Final Boss was in full effect and it was great to see. He called out Cody Rhodes, and what unfolded was The Final boss's masterplan when you dig beneath the surface. He spoke of his power, and at that point My point was proven, as the dual carried on, and the linking of family ties came into play. I was proven Right. Dwayne said that he doesn't want Cody's belt, he wants his soul, and him to be his champion. Dwayne will be at Elimination Chamber, and will wait for Cody's answer. This. Was. Brilliant, and the camera work throughout this was sensational. Both men gave everything to this segment, and it was, like I said before, simply awesome.

DIY vs Pretty Deadly WWE Tag Team Championship Match.

You go from the sensational, to this. From bad comedy, to the Match getting thrown out, after The Street Profits got involved, and went for DIY. This. Was poor.

Kevin Owens Segment.

Kevin Owens directed a promo direct from Sami Zayn's manor. I loved all of this.

Damien Priest And Braun Strowman vs Solo Sikoa And Jacob Fatu.

Damien Priest, and. Braun Strowman, beat. Solo Sikoa, and. Jacob Fatu, in a decent main event. The physicality was decent, and Jacob Fatu had another great performance. And just like that the void deepens.

Overview of Friday Night Smackdown.

This. Was the best Smackdown of the year so far, and a great watch. Let the Rd to wrestlemania continue.

  My 5 Top Snack Combos For Watching Wrestling.

Intro.

Ummmm food. Ummmm Chocolate. Ummmm Cheese Burgers. This list was inspired by the Fighters Only Awards Vingnette with Daniel Cormier, because just like him. I'm all about that Cake, and. Chicken.

5 Sour Patch Kids And Pepsi Max Cherry Flavour.

Ok everyone stay with me, this is an acually pretty incredible flavour combo.

4. Walkers Roast Chicken And Thyme Flavour Crisps and Budweiser.

I know that Budweiser isn't the best beer in the world, but if you pair them with these Crisps, my god it's a taste sensation.

3. Chocolate.

Chocolate is arguably my biggest vice, next to Steak, and. Cheese Burgers. When i'm watching a show, and not reviewing one. I love devouring multiple more two shares bars, from Nestle, and. Cadbury's.

2. Pepporoni Pizza And Sol Mexian Beer.

This. Is. A pretty obvious one. Pizza and Sol Mexican Beer. I have nothing else to say, because this just makes me hungry.

  1. Doritos

Doritos, is there anything that they can't do. Hint Of Paprika is my favourite flavour.

  

AEW Dynamite Review 20.2.2025.

MJF And Hangman Adam Page Segment.

I'm once again skipping the intro, because what we started off with here was perfect. I loved this. From both men stairing each other down, from their respective corners, to the delivery, and its execution, and the draping of Lts, that was laced through this segment. Both men bounced off each other like a rubber ball verbally. This. Was. A 19 minute promo tour de force. This hole segment was delivered with, fire, and grace. Max fake walked away, and spat in Hangmans face, this caused a brawl, that was seperated by security. Christopher Daniels came out and reasoned with Hangman as this segment came to an end. I loved this. I could sit here and go through this segment piece by piece, but it wouldn't do it any justice, because this was great. Tony Khan then announced the Match for Revolution. MJF vs Hangman Adam Page. This is going to be great I can feel it.

The Opps vs The Patriarchy.

I didn't like this. The Match felt stagnant from the start and it never recoverd. The Opps, beat. The Patriarchy, when Hook choked out Nick Wayne. This. Was. A letdown.

Big Bill vs Powerhouse Hobbs Street Fight.

I had a great time watching this, unlike the Chris Jericho segment that came beforehand. From Hobbs getting smacked in the face with a sound mixer. Him getting busted open, when he was chucked into the steel steps. Bill beforehand was battered by Hobbs, with a steel chair, these moments elevated the violence. Bryan Keith got launched through a table, and Big Bill was made to eat wood, when Hobbs pushed him through a table to get the win.

The Murder Machines Segment.

The Murder Machines want The Hurt Syndicate. This sounds interesting, and a decent direction heading into Revolution.

Double Or Nothing Announcement.

Justin Roberts announced that AEW is coming back to Arizona, and they're bringing Double Or Nothing with them over the May Bank Holiday. I think this is a great idea taking the PPV outside of it's comfort zone of Las Vegas. It's no secret that AEW have hit a curd when it comes to ticket sales, so this is a good way to drive up revenue.

Timeless Toni Storm Segment.

I liked this. From calling herself insults, plugging her new movie Queen Of The Ring, to basking in her own glory, and if anyone wants to face her, then she's easy to find, because she's timeless. Never change Toni.

Gabe Kidd Is Coming To AEW.

Gabe Kidd is coming to AEW this Saturday on Collision. I'm just going to call it Gabe Kidd vs Kenny Omega at Forbidden Door. Please come to Wembley Arena Tony, and not The o2.

Willow Nightingale And Marina Shafir Fiiiiiiggggghhhhht.

Willow Nightingale, had her TV interview with Renee Paquette interrupted, by Marina Shafir, and the pair had a fight. Jon Moxley then got a cameraman to walk his crew to the ring, he cut a promo threatening to finish the job that he started on Adam Copeland, in the aftermath of what happened in Brisbane. Jay White came out, and he was instantly sandwiched between The Deathriders, and. Pac, this brought out Adam Copeland, to make the save, after a predictable brawl took place, The Deathriders ran away like cowards. Adam Copeland then cut a promo on Moxley, threatening Murder on live TV. I hated this. This segment made The Deathriders look weak, again, and it failed to deliver an equal playing field. 

Mercedes Mone Segment.

Mercedes Mone vs Komo Watanabe at Revolution, well, yes please AEW, that sounds delightful.

Kris Statlander vs Megan Bayne.

Megan Bayne, beat. Kris Statlander, in a decent TV Match, thanks to Penelope Ford, and. Thunder Rosa also wanted a piece, of Batmans favourite heel.

Max Castor Segment.

Who's facing Max Castor this Saturday on Collision. If i'm honest. I don't care.

Ricochet Segment.

This. Was great. What do you get, when you put Wrestlings answer to Jeffrey Dalmer, a robe, and Prince Nana, in a segment together, well that's easy, a passionate segment, that was awesome. Ricochet is just a big bully isn't he.

Orange Cassidy vs Roderick Strong International Championship Tournament.

I loved this. From the fast paced opening. The Undisputed Kingdom, acting like they've watched to many episodes of Saved By The Bell, because they're best friends forever, this Match was a clinic, that turned out to have great physicality. Cassidy got the win, and was greated by The Don Callis Family. Don cut a promo on him, After Tony Schiavone tried to get a word with him. Don called him a punk hippie, he was beaten down, leaving Kenny Omega to make the save. Orange Cassidy vs Kenny Omega, at a later date, sounds good.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This. Was. AEW getting back to basics, and it was a blast. The in-ring work went from good to great, and the promos followed the same pattern.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

 

Monday Night Raw Review. 18.2.2025

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Seth Rollins. Finn Balor. Roxanne Perez. Raquel Rodriguez. Dakota Kai. Ivy Nile, and. AJ Styles, who turned up in style, when he was dropped off by a Nascar Driver, were seen showing up to the arena.

Sami Zayn Segment.

I loved this segment. Sami came out and was overwhelmed by the fan response. He talked about his past with Kevin Owens, and the winding roads that they've been down, and how he can't forgive him for trying to end his career. Adam Pearce Stepped onto the stage, and says no that sami can't face Kevin at Elimination Chamber, because he's worried about what might happen. Sami fights back, and twists the scenario in Adams face. Pearce was left with no chance but to make the Match, at Elimination Chamber it will be Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn in an unsanctioned Match. I loved this development.

The Judgement Day Segments.

The downfall of The Judgement was an occurring theme throughout this broadcast. It all went Pete Tong for these guys last night.

AJ Syles vs The Human Oven.

This felt a bit flat in my opinion. AJ, beat the young Mysterio, and he then embarrassed him by having Bron Breakker sphere him out of his boots. This did make me laugh.

Dakota Kai vs Ivy Nile  Womens Intercontinental Championship No1 Contenders Match.

Dakota Kai, beat. Ivy Nile, in a flat TV Match. This was disapointing in my opinion.

Gunther Segment.

I loved this segment. Gunther flipped the script on Jey, and entered through the fans, whilst cutting his promo. From insulting the fans, and making them look dumb, by saying they wouldn't understand Shakesphere, he flipped this into what he thought of Jey, because he's not fit enough to lace his boots. Now that's nonsense. I read my dog Jane Spiderman comics all the time. He brought to light how fans are encouraging the notion that Jey is going to beat him at Mania. He asked for the opinon of Michael Cole, and. Pat Mcafe, and Pat said, yes. Jey could beat him. This coursed Jey to come out, and a fight broke out. Jey would speeak of his frustration to Cathy Kelley later on in the broadcast.

Penta vs Pete Dunne.

Penta, beat. Pete Dunne in a decent TV Match, as Ludwig Kaiser watched on.

Roxanne Perez vs Raquel Rodriguez Elimination Chamber Qualifier.

I liked this. But I get the feeling that WWE were using this an audition piece for Perez, she got the win thanks to Bianca Belair, and. Bayley, coming out and costing Raquel, after they saw the footage of the night that Jade Cargill was attacked. Roxanne is in the Chamber. I liked this.

Karrion Kross Segment.

After Seth Rollins was interviewed by Cathy Kelley, in stepped big Kazza Kross. Who tried to predict the future. Sami won't beat Kevin. Jey won't beat Gunther, and. Seth won't beat Finn, well two of those theories might come true.

Iyo Sky Vingnette.

This. Was. A straight to the point vingnette, that examplified the history between her and Rhea Ripley. I liked this.

New Day Segment.

This didn't go to plan for WWE's newest heels, they were booed out of the building. they insulted Rey Mysterio, whilst explaining their actions last week. This angered the LWO, who came out and took the words from out of this writers head. New Day Suck.

Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor Elimination Qualifier.

This. Match reminded me of that moment in Friends, when that god amongst men. Joey ate some of Rachels tainted triffle. The In ring work gooooood, and the storytelling that was built into the Match, was also goooooood, you can tell I had fun watching this before I went to my day Job. Seth got the win, and is heading to the chamber, now say it with me now, this night was a hole load of wat wah, for The Judgement Day.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

This. Weeks Monday Night Raw, was the quite essential mix-bag. The in-ring work went from poor to good, whilst the promos stole the show.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10

My Top 5 Takeaways From NXT Vengeance Day.

 Intro.

As time has worn on I have warmed up a bit, to how the newish version of NXT is looking, and sounding. The product hasn't been that bad, and its getting better, so here's my thoughts on this years Vengeance Day PLE.

5. Fraxiom are awesome.

I have only one thing to say, and that is this. Fraxiom are one of the best Tag Teams working today. Enough said.

4. Stephanie Vaquer.

This. Is. Going to look like i'm simping for Stephanie, but the fact that her achievement was overlooked. She's the first woman of South American decent to win a title Match in WWE. The fact that this has gone unnoticed is actually shocking to me.

3. Santino Marella.

Santino Marella is back in WWE, ( well kind of ) I love this man, especially when he became Ricky Fatton. So many memories. God bless Santino.

2. Oba Femi.

I've been saying this for months. Oba Femi is the future of WWE. I'm becoming a fan of this big guy.

1. Roxanne Perez.

As a fan of this young talent I want her on the main roster after Wrestlemania. Her four way against Bayley. Giulia. Cora Jade, may have been met with mixed reviews, and I can understand why, but this should be used as a measuring stick, and Roxanne is off the chart, and moving forwards.

AEW Grandslam Australia Review.

 Intro.

Ok everyone it's singalong with Patrick time. Da na na na na, you you know we belong together. AEW will visit Australia for now and forever and ever. And from the very first day of their existance, some fans had never felt such emotion, they were walking on air, just to know, that an alternative wasn't near it was here. Lets hold AEW in our arms, and never let them go. I want them to stay forever, closer each day. AEW is better than Home And Away. Thanks everyone, my name is Patrick O'malley and i'm here all week. I love the fact that AEW has gone Down Under. Global Expansion is key for any business, whether you're a content creator, or a wrestling company, yes the planning around this event has beyond awkward, and badly planned. I feel that every company makes mistakes, and this is something that Tony Khan will learn from, however I think there is more to story than dodgy planning from both sides.

Konosuke Takeshista And Kyle Fletcher vs Will Osperay vs Kenny Omega.

One of the main complaints that I have come across whilst writing this review, was to do with the size of the ring. I don't agree with the complaints, and didn't find it distracting. In any fact, I feel it elevated some matches, and this was one of them. I loved this Match, it had a solid flow, the near falls, and team work from both teams, blended in nicely with the Matches within the Match. They were a real look through the looking glass, at how you put together a well created masterclass in Tag Team wrestling. The exchanges were awesome, and they built to one hell of a finish. Omega, and. Osperay got the win with an insane One winged angel, and hidden blade combo finish, the visual of this finish looked incredible. Kenny Omega vs Konosuke Takeshista for the AEW international Championship, and. Will Osperay vs Kyle Fletcher in a steel cage Match at Revolution, yes please AEW.

Mercedes Mone vs Harley Cameron AEW Womens TBS Championship.

I had fun with this. From the solid in-ring, puppet fun, that Mercedes didn't find funny, to the near falls being perfectly woven into the match, however after a series of decent exchanges. Mercedes got the win, and retained her belt.

Brisbane Brawl Adam Copeland And Jay White vs Jon Moxley And Claudio Castagnoli.

From fans chanting explicitives at Moxley. Adam Copeland taking in the fans singing back Metalingus back to him, to the all out bloodstained plunder carnage. The table spots were great. Cope taking out Claudio from the top of an exit, and Jay White no selling wheeler Yuta whipping him like a goverment mule, to Mox getting the win by choking out Copeland. I liked this, and had a great time watching it at 10PM here in the UK.

Buddy Mathews vs Kazuchika Okada AEW Continental Championship.

This. Was. A mental game of chess, that turned into a lofi burner of a Match. From Okada getting called an explicitive, that turned into a fan chant. The Match was carried out in steps, and phases, and as they played out. I found it captivating, yes this wasn't the best Match on the card, but it was enjoyable. Okada retained his belt after he hit his rainmaker finisher on Buddy.

AEW Womens World Championship Marieh May vs Toni Storm.

This. Was. A lot of fun, from Luther ushering in the past, that gave way to a oscar winning performance by Toni. From old school to new school. What both ladies managed to craft out, was something that can act as a memory that the Australian fans can take home with them. Toni Storm is now a 4 time AEW World Womens Champion. The image that went around of her online, celebrating with fans in the aftermath, was a nice thing that you don't normally see in wrestling. This. Was. A great way to send the show off the air.

Overview Of AEW GrandSlam Australia.

From the card, to the overall reception from fans. I thought this was the definition of a back to basics wrestling show, all killer, with very little filler. Storylines progressed nicely, and the in-ring work was awesome.

AEW Australian Grandslam is a very high 9/10.

 WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 15.2.2025.

Intro.

Now the build to Wrestlemania is starting to take shape. It's important that WWE try and carve some decent creative, as fan interest online is being looked at as divisive. It's up to the head brass, to navigate through these rough waters, because if they don't, then trying times good be around the corner.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Nia Jax. Tiffany Stratton. Braun Strowman. Damien Priest, and. Tama Tonga, and. Jacob Fatu, were all seen showing up to the arena.

Universal Championship Promotrain.

Cody Rhodes kicked off the show by walking out to the ring, and basking in the admiration, he talked about how his Mania direction is shaping up, and runs through the entrants in the mens Elimination Chamber Match, and the man who came out with the biggest pop was of course. The Invisible Man. This brought out Drew Mcintyre, both men had a decent promo dual, that was built to inflate Drews Ego, it wasn't long before Jacob Fatu, and his minder Tama Tonga came out. Jacob took to the mic, with fire and grace, and said after he beats Priest, and. Strowman tonight, he will go to the Elimination Chamber, and win, punching his ticket to the grandest show of them all, and then on the big screen, a limo was seen driving into the arena. Solo Sikoa got out, and this put Jacob in a spin. Both he and Cody want to get their hands on him. This would act as a decent episode long storythread. I love Jacob Fatu, but does Solo? That's the question.

Womens Elimination Chamber Qualifier Naomi vs Chelsea Green.

Before the Match Wade Barrett was seen having a lovely chat With Trish Stratus. Ok Wade, if you want to talk to someone who backed up an awful human being, then ok, mate be my guest. Naomi, beat Chelsea Green, in a decent TV Match, to advance to the Chamber Match in two weeks time.

Sami Zayn Segment And Kevin Owens Follow Up.

I liked both of these segments, they were short, and sweet, and got to the point.

The Motorcity Machine Gunns vs Los Garza.

Even though I love The Motorcity Machine Gunns, I didn't like this. Yes, they got the win, but overall this was over before it had time to marinade.

Shinsuke Nakamura United States Championship Promotrain.

I'm in two minds over this. I hate Nakamura's new direction, his character falls into awful stereotypes, and his promo was woeful, so step forward LA Knight. He got straight to the point, and cut Nakamura down to size with pure ease. He was then greated by The Miz, and the second part of my brain liked this, their promo dual was great, and their impromptu Match that was set up by Nick Aldis, was fine. Knight got the win, me thinks this is going to be the direction for the Elimination Chamber PLE midcard.

Alexa Bliss Segment.

Alexa Bliss had a minor meeting backstage with Nia Jax, oh well at least she's doing something.

R Truth vs Carmelo.

I'm just going to say it. The Miz is a poor mans Rodney Dangerfield, because he isn't funny. And speaking of funny. God bless you R Truth. I always come away with a smile after watching this guy. He lost here to Carmelo, after his cluelessness got him into a bit of trouble.

The Street Profits Segment.

I'm loving this heel version of The Street Profits, and they want Gold, and by the sounds of it. Pretty Deadly, also want to get their hands on DIY.

WWE Womens Championship Match Nia Jax vs Tiffany Stratton.

What this Match resembled, was a decent effort with a dodgy finish. The Match was thrown when Candace Lerae got involved, and a massive fight broke out, and Trish Stratus helped Tiffany in fending off. Nia, and. Candace, later on Trish gave Tiffany an offer later on. Elimination Chamber, her and Tiffany vs Nia and Candace. Say it with me guys. it's Trishy, and. Tiffy time. Charlotte Flair came out in the aftermath and sat on a steal chair, and did her best Ash Ketchum impersonation, and chose Tiffany as her opponent at Wrestlemania. I liked this development.

Jacob Fatu vs Braun Strowman vs Damien Priest Elimination Chamber Qualifier.

I liked this. From the distractions that caused the finish, to the Match taking the form of three big bulls, doing big bull things. Priest got the win, after Cody and Solo, had a bust up that is going to have serious ramifications, after Solo accidentally spiked Tama Tonga, and not Cody.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

I had fun watching this broadcast. The action went from average to good, and the promos were solid.

This Weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a solid 7/10.

        My Top 5 Favourite Memories Of WCW. 

            Intro.

WCW, agh yes, so many memories, from the good to the outright bad. Today i'm going to fucus on my favourite moments, because i've had a Costa, and two Salted Caramel Brownies, so lets go people.

5. The Immersion Of The NWO.

From the time I cried my eyes out at the sight of the industry changing in front of me, after The Great American Bash 1996, to. Hogan vs Sting, even though the group folded in on itself. I had some great times winding my non wrestling fan dad, whilst watching the world burn.

4. The Yeti.

WCW in 1995. oh the memories. This was so bad to the point that it was great.

3. 1.000 Holds.

This Chris Jericho segment is a classic, he and Dean Malenko had great chemistry, and this was priceless.

2. Bash At The Beach 2000.

Don't you just love it when you see an awful human being, with, by all  accounts, a terrible tasting beer get served some humble pie.

1. Anything To Do With David Flair.

What is the best way to describe this man? He's the best gift that kept on giving, because he was just so funny to watch, and he wasn't even a comedy character. ( I think )

AEW Dynamite Review 13.2.2025.

Max Castor Segment.

I'm skipping the intro this week and i'm getting straight to the action. Max Castor got wrecked by Hangman Adam Page, as the Hangman murder tour continues. ( more on this  guy later ) I liked this.

The Undisputed Kingdom vs The Deathriders AEW World Trios Championship.

I liked this. It was a well paced, fun opener, that turned into a lofi slugfest. The near falls were cleverly placed, and The Deathriders got the win, thanks to my favourite trope in wrestling. Chair fun, followed by a low blow, this allowed Yuta to roll up Kyle O'reilly for the win. Daddy Magic, and. Daniel Garcia  chased them off. I hated this. Adam Copeland, and. Jay White, then played childish games with Moxley and Marina, and stole the AEW Heavyweight Championship. This would start off a pathetic episode long storythread. If you want your briefcase back, then come and get it.  GROW UP. This. Is. A bad way to treat you Audience. Don't do this AEW.

MJF Segment.

From speaking ill about Dustin Rhodes, to him cutting down Hangman Adam Page, with pure verbal brutality. I liked this. ( more on these guys later on )

Samoa Joe. Hook. And Katsuyouri Shibata vs Aaron Solo. Jon Cruz, and Rosario Cruz.

Samoa Joe. Hook, and. Katsuyouri Shibata, beat enhancement talents in a flat TV Match. Joe then took to the mic, and cut a promo, challenging The Patriarchy to a trios Match next week, in the only way he knows how, by threatening my favolurite things. Violence, and. Chaos.

Chris Jericho Segment And Everything That Comes With It.

The following Segment was beyond terrible. Chris Jericho, and. Bandido, had a western style dual. Bryan Keith beat down Bandido, and Big Bill, and. Powerhouse Hobbs had a fight, oh and hello The Outrunners. This. Was, you know what If I take my brain out, everything will be ok.

Marina Shafir And Jon Moxley Segment.

Marina Shafir decked Willow Nightingale, taking away her interview time with Renee Paquette, so her master Jon Moxley, could threaten Adam Copeland. Patrick it's ok, put down your chromebook.

Dustin Rhodes vs MJF.

I loved this. The Match felt fresh. It felt Relevant, and it got to the point. The near falls were well placed, as the story of the Match was crafted into fans brains, as the breathing time for what was going, was put into balance. Dustins passion, blended in nicely with Max's narcissism. Max got the win after a solid round of exchanges. Hangman Adam Page came out, and he and Max had a seperation brawl in the fans, that concluded with a fan getting a pint chucked in his face, and Max cutting a promo on him, which led to another pull apart brawl. Max verbally setting fire to the fans with words, is a tool that he's using to a perfect intense level. 

Two Ladies Matches Back To Back.

Two ladies Matches on Dynamite. Is Tony OK. I mean. I know he was at the Superbowl, but did he come back with a Super fever. Megan Bayne, beat. Mia World, in a flat TV Match, and, then. Kris Statlander, beat. Penelope Ford, in a decent Match. Bayne beat her down in the aftermath.

Harley Cameron Segment.

Harley Cameron rapping. I have no other words, other than. I loved this segment. I want that Mone puppet.

The Hurt Syndicate vs The Gunns AEW Tag Team Championship.

I'm just going to say it. I didn't hate this. The Match had a good flow to it, and the in-ring work wasn't bad. And the story made sense. The Hurt Syndicate, retained. The Hurt Syndicate vs Archer and Cage, at a later point. I don't hate this.

Marieh May Segment.

Is Marieh May, better than Toni Storm? Now that's an interesting question. I can't wait for the Match this Saturday. 

Adam Copeland and Jay White Segment.

I have mixed feelings about this. I liked the verbalage from Copeland, as he showed his menacing side, thanks his mate Spike, and. Jon Moxleys acceptance of his challenge was passionate, but Predictable. The beat down that came after confirmed my feelings from earlier. I want this storyline to hurry up and be gone. The segment ended with Jay White threatening murder on live TV. I'm done that's it, my brain is coming out.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

I actually don't know what to say about this weeks Dynamite. For me, this wasn't very good. It was just above mid.

This week Dynamite by AEW's Standards is a 6/10.

Just A Bit Of Fantasy Booking Part 1. Who Should Move From AEW To WWE and Why.

Let's get into It.

I'm going on a bit of fun crusade with this one people. I figured in light Of Ricky Starks jumping over the fence, and going to the land of The Fed. I thought I would do a different piece than what I had planned. This leads to me  to say this. Who feels like watching  the internet burn down.

Britt Baker to WWE.

It's no secret that I'm a Britt Baker fan, so just imagine this. Britt Baker vs Iyo Sky, or Britt Baker vs Roxanne Perez, or my dream Match Britt Baker vs Rhea Ripley. The possibilities are endless.

Hatred And Rivalries Reignited.

Imagine this. What MJF, and. Jon Moxley moved to, and back, to the fed, after their contracts end. I wonder who they will want to face first. I mean c'mon this writes itself doesn't it.

Powerhouse Hobbs. 

Powerhouse Hobbs vs Jacob Fatu, or. Powerhouse Hobbs vs Braun Strowman. C'mon people, this also writes itself doesn't it.

Malakai Black.

I don't know what you could do with this guy, he faced Cody before, and he's picked fights in a broom cubbard. This is an interesting paradox.

Julia Hart.

Just imagine this, what would this Match look like. Thea Hail vs Julia Hart. Am I the only person who thinks that sounds interesting.

 Part 2 coming soon.

Monday Night Raw Review 11.2.2025.

      Intro. 

This time of year, is a special one. The rd to Wrestlemania is an ever winding ride, with many turns, and thrills. Rd to Wrestlemania we love you. Enough said.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Rey Mysterio. Logan Paul. Lyra Valkyria. Bayley, and AJ Styles, were seen showing up to the arena.

Jey Uso Segment.

Ok. It's official. I love this man. His entrance is always energetic, and this is why it was so important for Gunther to attack him, during the encore of his fun with the fans. This. Was. A fantastic piece of business, when you dig beneath the weeds. Jey Challenged Gunther to a Match at Mania for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship. I like the way that HHH has booked this. He's clearly giving this rivalry time to develop, and breath. This. Is decent booking 101, and kit's paying off. Yeeeeeet.

Iyo Sky And Rhea Ripley Segment.

Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Sky at a later date. Yes please WWE. This Match was made official later on in the show for the Raw after Elimination Chamber.

Liv Morgan And Raquel Rodriguez vs Damage Ctrl.

I didn't like this. It just felt off, and, felt like a vital ingridient was missing. Damage Ctrl got the win. I understand that there was a botch in the Match, that caused Liv to get busted open. And all I have to say is this. Accidents happen people, they're wrestlers and not ballet dancers, so don't give Iyo or Dakota any hate online.

Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria Elimination Chamber Qualifier.

I liked this. It had a natural flow that is hard to put in a can. Bayley got the win by Roll-up, and raised her opponents hand as she gave the future a chance. Ivy Nile then acted like a small minded wind up merchant, in a backstage sement with Lyra later on in the broadcast.

Penta Vingnette.

Penta wants to get his hands on Pete Dunne, and. Ludwig Kaiser wants to get to Penta, this is just a nice tasting sandwich isn't it.

AJ Styles Segment.

I loved all of this. AJ Styles is one of my favourite wrestlers of all time, and it's great to see him back in the ring, his promo here was great, and his interaction with Dominik Mysterio was awesome, also as a big country music fan. I loved Pat Mcafe's version of I Love This Bar By Toby Keith, well they were in Nashville after all. Bron Breakker vs AJ at a later date sounds interesting.

Seth Rollins Segment.

Seth Rollins then had a standing interview with Jackie Redmond, he stated that all eyes are on Cody, and he has his sights set on winning the Elimination Chamber. Step forward Finn Balor, and the two had an enjoyable promo encounter, the pair will meet in an Elimination Chamber Qualifier next week. Just a little reminder to The Judgement Day, listen to Finn guys, It might help you.

American Made vs The War Raiders WWE Tag Team Championship.

This Match was thrown out when Julius smacked Eric with one of the belts. This was a bad ending, to what was a decent Match.

Cm Punk Segment And Rey Mysterio vs Logan Paul.

I liked all of this. From Punk reflecting on last weeks main event, to calling out the invisible man, who's put himself in the Chamber. He laid bare his thoughts on both Seth Rollins, and. Drew Mcintyre, because Mania belongs to him. Logan Paul then came out, and the pair had a great promo dual. I can't stand Logan Paul, and this is a clear look at both mens future booking plans. Rey Mysterio vs Logan, was an interesting Elimination Chamber Qualifier. Logan got the win in. The physicality was awesome, and it meshed in perfectly with both mens styles, however the brass knucks played a part in the finish, which felt a bit predictable in my opinion. The New Day beat Rey down, as the show went off the air.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

I had a good time watching this show at 7am before I went off to my day Job. The in-ring work was good, and the promos were solid.

This Weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10.

 

My Moments In Wrestling That Destroyed The Internet.

    Intro.

Ok people I have a real treat for you, because todays top 5 list, we're going to be talking about everyones favourite thing in the entire world, the internet, because every wrestling fanbase loves the Internet. I can feel the earth start to burn as I type this out. So lets get into it.

5 Both of Cm Punks Returns.

From leaving He Shall Not Be Named's Evil Empire, and then hanging them out to dry on a podcast, with his then Best friend, to coming back and joining AEW, a company that found its groove within the world of Pro Wrestling, quite quickly. His run in Tony Khans little Promotion, saw him face off against Eddie Kingston. Jon Moxley. Darby Allin. Hangman Adam Page, and. MJF, in a rivalry that is my favourite ever feuds in wrestling, and a load of muffins at a press conference. This would start the downward spiral that would see Philip Brooks, be let go from the promotion, after an altercation with Jack Perry backstage at AEW All In London, a show that I attended in person. Punk would then go back to WWE, returning at Survivor Series 2023 in Chicago. This broke X, and all this did was deepen the divide between AEW, and. WWE fans. In a moment thas gone on to live as one of the destructive moments in wrestling history. Pipebomb indeed.

4. Occupying A Monday Night.

This Moment was built of back of fans getting sick and tired of having to eat the chosen meal, and not their favourite, back in 2014 the WWE were feeding its fanbase, gruel, when all they wanted was the finest 5 course meal. This is the perfect way to describe the moment when Daniel Bryan, and a shed load of fans, took it upon themselves to occupy  a segment on Monday Night Raw, as the final hurdle on the rd to Wrestlemania 30, started to get over the bumps that it encountered, as fan backlash gained momentum. A pivert was made, and the rest was history.

3. Any Bloodline Segment.

From Sami getting Initiated into the family. His outstanding trial segment from Raw XXX, to his overall betrayal, at the 2023 Royal Rumble. This faction that took influence from multiple TV Shows, and have some memorable moments, that destroyed the internet as we knew it.

2. Cody Rhodes.

From returning  to the company that released him at Mania 38, to last years Mania build getting sent straight off a cliff, thanks to Dwayne. This man had the whole internet backing him with one simple hashtag # We want Cody, from the chaos, to finishing his own story. This man has broke the internet on multiple occasions.

1. Brock Lesnar Ends The Streak.

Even though nowadays. I'm not the biggest fan of Lesnars, due to reasons that I can't talk about on the internet, however when he broke The Undertakers Streak. It felt like you were witnessing something that you will never see again. That guy, and that facial expression was all of us in our disbelief.

 AEW Collision Review 9.2.2025.

        Intro.

In under a weeks time AEW is heading down under for its first ever event. Now a lot has been said about this show, and how it has been handled. I have my opinions on the matter, and I will not be going into detail on them here, because what I would say, has been said time, and, time again, over the past few weeks, to the point that it has become boring. My main train of thought towards this event is this. When things in life turn out to be a bed of thornes. I think we all need to take a step back and take a look around. What this means is can we all agree it's cool that a new market is getting an AEW event.

Mark Briscoe And Kyle Fletcher Opening.

Before the show got going Mark Briscoe, and. Kyle Fletcher, gave us their thoughts ahead of their main event later on in the broadcast. The Don Callis Family had some fun, tonight as well. You leave those workers alone Lance Storm, I mean Archer. Please don't kill me Lance Storm, I mean Archer. DAMN IT

Deathriders Segment. 

I liked this opening. From Marina Shafir chucking around a security guard, like he was a wet towel, to Moxley cutting a great promo on Adam Copeland, explaining why he isn't getting a shot at his World Heavyweight Championship, but if he was up for it, they can have a fight anytime anywhere. I love how Jon Moxley has used a slogan that one of sporting idols made famous. He can thank Chuck Liddell later.

Trios Match.

The Undisputed Kingdom, beat. Daniel Garcia. Angelo Parker, and. Daddy Magic, and. STP in a fun opening Match. The Deathriders took out Cole, when Yuta. Pac, and. Claudio came out, but they were chased off. When they got Adam all alone, they were made to look weak, as Cole thought back, and the bad guys were chased off after Adam challenged them to a Match on this weeks Dynamite, for their Trios Championships. Now don't get me wrong I think the Match will bang. I just don't like this out come, when you really think about it.

FTR Vingnette.

Now you guys should know me by now, because it's no secret that I love FTR. Top writer out.

Max Castor Segment.

Max Castor is going to get Murdered this Wednesday by Hangman Adam Page. I've given his murder tour a theme song, and it goes a little something like this. It's the Hangman murder tour come on come on, yes I have been watching South Park a lot of late.

Bryan Keith vs Bandido.

I liked this. It was a good blend of styles. Bandido got the win, and we then got a segment from Powerhouse Hobbs, saying that he's going to be in Texas all week. My fighty sense is tingling.

LFI vs Brick Savage And The Alexander Brothers.

LFI, beat these Local Jobbers in a standard, and boring TV Match, but at least we got the return of Hologram. Tony Khans favourite Power Ranger. Go Go Mighty Hologram.

Megan Bayne Segment.

Megan Bayne completely ignored Thunder Rosa, who then cut a fiery promo on her opponent tonight Penelope Ford, who she would beat later on. Megan hated this, as she battered Thunder in the aftermath.

Harley Cameron Halftime Concert.

I have no words that can do this segment any form of justice, because all of this was great. I'm going over to AEWshop, to get my hands on one of those Mercedes Dolls, to wind my dog up with. Harley vs Mercedes at Grandslam for the TBS Championship sounds like fun. I have the sense of humour of a five year old.

Bubby Matthews And Kazuchika Okada Sit Down Segment.

After watching this. I'm now excited to see this Match next week. This should be a stylistic clinic.

Dustin Rhodes vs A Local Enhancement Talent.

Dustin Rhodes, beat a Local Talent Enhancement, and did what he does best. He cut a passionate Promo on MJF. This Wednesday is starting to look good isn't it.

Bun B Meets Ricochet.

The Man who created America's favourite burger, had a meeting with wrestlings version of Jeffrey Dalmer, and it was glorious. Ricochet and Swerve having a fight, at a Defy show, was an inspired idea. Man those burgers looked great didn't they. Uuuuuummmm cheese burgers.

Marieh May vs A Toni Storm Lookalike.

I loved all of this, she beat Shay Carmichael in a glamourous Exhibition Match, she tried to humilate her opponent after getting the win, this was when Luther returned and gave Marieh a gift. It was a shoe, and when Marieh turned around, she wasn't greated by Shay, it was Toni Storm who looked back at her. Marieh got out of their, as the shoe was thrown. I loved this segment.

Kyle Fletcher vs Mark Briscoe.

I loved this Match. It was a bloodsoaked master stroke in TV booking. From Mark getting busted open, when he got slammed into the ring post, the exchanges were great, and the near falls were well paced. This. Was a majestic energy filled slugfest, that examplified just how important it is for wrestling to have a visceral nasty side. Fletcher got the win, after a great series of exchanges, that included an awesome table spot from Briscoe, this was great.

Overview of this weeks AEW Dynamite.

This. Was. A great TV Broadcast, with a TV Match of the year contender, and in my opinion, a segment of the year contender. The promos were great, and the in-ring work went from good to great. I had fun watching this.

This Weeks AEW Collision is a solid 8/10 show.

WWE Smackdown Review.

  Intro. 

As I sit here on a Saturday afternoon. I write this with the knowledge, that Wrestlers from both WWE, and. AEW have been released from their contracts. Now I get this is a study in contrast. Sonya Deville. AOP. Paul Ellering. Shelton Benjamin, and. Blair Davenport, were released from by WWE, whilst Bear Boulder was released by AEW outright, due to violent actions against his fiance. Getting released from your job if it's not your fault is bad, however if you put your hands on a woman in a violent way, then I have no time for you. In order to be human, we have to act human. It's really not that difficult.

Suyperstars Seen Showing Up.

LA Knight. Jimmy Uso. Drew Mcintyre, and. Charlotte Flair were all seen showing up to the arena.

Jey Uso Segment.

I loved this entrance, because this man has something, that if you bottled it up and sold it, you would make millions. He embraced the fans, as the Yeet tour of 2025 continued. When Jey got to the ring, we were treated to an encore, as the love from the fans continued to shower Jey. When he was able to talk, he said that this week he has received support from family, friends, and fans. This started off a you deserve it chant. Jey then called out Cody Rhodes, who continued the tradition of basking in the fans admiration. Both men had a great promo interaction, that led to. Jacob Fatu, and. Tama Tonga coming out, to spoil the proceedings.  Tama hushed everyone so that Jacob could talk, and what he had to say was this. Last year the belt that Cody has over his shoulder doesn't belong to him, it's belongs to his family, and Jey would never hold it, this caused a brawl to break out, and just like that the main event was set. Later on Jey told Cody that he was in two minds over who he was going to pick, to face in the Wrestlemania Main event. Jey vs Cody does sound appealing.

Piper Niven vs Bianca Belair Elimination Chamber Qualifier.

Bianca Belair, beat. Piper Niven in a standard TV Match, to qualify for the Elimination Chamber. Chelsea took the loss with grace, and didn't get wound up by Michin, and. Bfab later on. Piper a lot of people hate Chelsea.

Carmelo Hayes Segment.

Carmelo Hayes was made to pay for the crime of battering Tazawa, when he took him out at the Rumble. When General Manager Nick Aldis told the one that doesn't miss, that he was going to be facing Tazawa later on. Carmelo would go on and beat him, complete with Basketball puns. The Match was forgettable, but this segment did make me laugh though.

DIY Segment.

I had fun watching this. DIY came out, and tried to show some respect, as they greaved the death of the Motorcity Machine Gunns career, when they were interrupted by Pretty Deadly, when they hijacked a moment of silence. They reminded Ciampa, and. Gargano of all the times that they've helped them retain the belts. Nick Aldis then came out and said, that both teams will be facing each other now. Pretty Deadly won the Match, and it wasn't bad. It was decent. My message to all the Tag Teams in WWE, just chill out. Oh well at least The Street Profits are back.

The Miz Gets Mugged Off.

I love it when other talent embarress The Miz. I mean it makes me think that life is actually ok. God bless you Andrade, and. Cody Rhodes.

Elimination Chamber Qualifier Drew Mcintyre vs Jimmy Uso vs LA knight.

Even though I can't stand promotrains, this one wasn't bad. From Drew talking about his frustration after last weeks Royal Rumble. Jimmy calling him an ex girlfriend, to. LA Knight stealing the show by breaking the 4th wall, and being frank to the camera, about an issue that affects millions of people. I agree with everything that he said. He took digs at Drew, and you could easily say that this time he got his stuff in. The Match got the internet talking for the completely no reason. This Match was decent, and all 3 men had energetic bursts that sold the physicality of the match. Drew got the win, and is on his way to Toronto. Damien Priest had a backstage interaction with Braun Strowman. It's believed that Priest is the direction for Drew, at the show of shows.

         KO Segment.

Kevin Owens Gave us a segment from his car, and he blamed all of his issues on Sami Zayn. I loved this segment. These guys should main event Elimination Chamber. Just think about, two Canadians main eventing a PLE in their home country.

Jerry The King Lawler Was In Attendence.

Jerry The King Lawler was in attendence. I don't know about you guys, but I have a zero tolerance for awful human beings.

Charlotte Flair Segment. ( uh oh ) And Alexa Bliss vs Candace Lerae.

Now this was more like it. This segment, even though it turned into a promotrain, had a nice flow to it, Flair rubbed the fact that she's Charlotte Flair in our faces, in the only way she knows. This continued her tour of the brands, and by the looks of it, she found what she was looking for. Tiffany Stratton came out, and their promo dual was excellent. Flair reminded me in this segment, of a female version of The Undertaker, when she said that, she will make Tiffany famous. Nia Jax and Candace Lerae, then came out, and this promo dual left me feeling like Michael Scott from the office, because Nia wanted a piece of Tiffany, and she got her wish, because next week, she will face Tiffy for the belt on Smackdown. Alex Bliss then came out for her match against Candace Lerae, in an Elimination Chamber qualifier. Alexa got the win, in what was a standard TV Match. Alexa didn't even get any promo time. I didn't like how Alexa was treated. This isn't how you bring back one of your main stars, after a two year absence. And as for Stratton vs Jax 2, all I have to say is this. No no no no.

Jey Uso And Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu And Tama Tonga.

This Match had a good glow of physicality, and a fantastic flow to it. Cody and Jey got the win, after Cody hit Tama with a Cross Rhodes, but it was the aftermath that was more news worthy. Solo Sikoa turned up and attacked Cody, as the show went off the air. Cody vs Solo at Elimination Chamber, oh go on then WWE if you must.

Overview of Friday Night Smackdown.

I had a lot of fun watching this broadcast. Which is something that I haven't been able to say about Smackdown in a long time. The promos were great, and the in-ring action was in good shape.

This weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a solid 7/10.

AEW Dynamite Review.

Jey White Opens the show.

We're skipping the intro this week, and getting straight to the point. Jey White was seen entering the arena, and was interviewed by Renee Paquette. He talked about his issues he's had with FTR, and how he's now having to rely on old enemies in order to get to The Deathriders. As he talked The Deathriders came into shot, but behind them was Rated FTR, and just like that my weekly arena fight took place. I liked this. The segment ended when Cope wanted an answer to the challenge for the AEW Championship. Mox told him in a word. Nah mate. Jey White picked up the fight, and challenged both Jon Moxley, and Claudio Castagnoli to a Tag Match, against him and Adam Copeland, in a Brisbane Rules Street Fight, at AEW Grandslam Australia. Mox and his crew scalked off into the night, and Tony Khan confirmed the Match later on in the evening.

Will Osperay vs Mark Davis.

Coming into the broadcast, It was unknown who Wills opponent would be. Don Callis walked out, and told him, that he would be facing his old mate Mark Davis. The Match was a solid opening contest, that examplified a perfect blend of styles from both men, from the great near falls, to the Match being allowed to have time to breathe. Will won with the hidden blade, and then took to the mic, and brought out his new best friend Kenny Omega. Kenny took his time and patience, as he took the fans down the road that he has been down, that ended when he said that 2025 is going to be his best year yet, because he and Will are the future of this industry. The trust issues within the Don Callis family were also brought into question. Now that is how you bid us fans adue with a BANG.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment.

I think The Hurt Syndicate are one of my favourite things in AEW at the moment, and their interaction with a returning Gunn Club, was a lot of fun. Gunns vs Shelton and Bobby next week, sounds like fun.

Puppet Mercedes Mone.

I'm not a religous guy, but God bless you Harley Cameron, because Puppet Mercedes speaks to my stupid sense of humour. The real Mercedes didn't find this funny. Renee Paquette was trying not to corpse on live TV, you love to see it.

Hangman Adam Page Segment.

Am I the only person who thinks that Hangman Adam Page is one conflicted man. Max Castor cuts him off from his interview with Renee Paquette, and yeah it's on. The Hangman murder tour 2025.

Hounds Of Hell vs Kyle Fletcher And Konosuke Takeshista.

I liked this. The Match had some fun moments, that were fused with an unwanted old WWE trope. Both Kyle, and Konosuke were forced to take a seat into the barricade, in the early going. Konosukes German suplex to Brody King looked awesome, and the tag seperation spots were as clean as you like. Kyle, and. Konosuke got the win, in what was a fun Match.

Hook And Samoa Joe Segment.

Hook and Samoa Joe both laid the smackdown on Christian Cage's adopted kids, because they could. I love Christian Cage. 

MJF Segment.

This was easily the best thing on the show. Max came out to cut a promo on Jeff Jarrett, in the only way he knows how, by insulting the daylights out of him. He said that no body is on the level of the devil, and he was interrupted by Hangmans murder tour, and a passionate Dustin Rhodes. The pair had one hell of a promo dual, that wasn't just believable, it was exceptional. The seperation brawl, and the ball shot that Max gave Dustin in the aftermath, was a great topping to a delicous Ice Cream Sunday of a segment. I love Ice Cream.

Toni Storm vs Queen Aminata.

Timeless Toni Storm, beat. Queen Aminata in a decent TV Match, whilst playing the role of Marieh May, who was sat on commentary, in arguably an Oscar winning performance.

New York Minute.

Even though this featured The Outrunners, and. Powerhouse Hobbs, three wrestlers that I like. I don't have time for anything related to The Olsen Twins, or Chris Jericho.

Swerve Strickland vs Ricochet. 

This. Was awesome. From Ricochet stopping Prince Nana's dance with a steel chair shot. Him taking a nasty looking barricade bump from Swerve, to both men having some precise counteractions. Ricochet won with his spirit gun finisher. I liked this.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

I had fun watching this broadcast. This was the definition of who wants in a wrestling show. It's just a shame that Mikel Arteta didn't want it last night.

This weeks Dynamite is a solid 9/10.

 

My Top 5 Wrestlers That WCW Tried To Ruin Talent.

      Intro. 

WCW in the 1990's was the gift that kept on giving. From utter nonsense, to ruining the talent that was on there books. Lets get into it guys.

     5 Eddie Guerrero.

The debut of Perry Saturn, and. Eddie Guerrero was a thing that was always going to happen in WWE. But it shouldn't have happened the way in which it did. The company creative, and overall direction, was taking them down a path that they couldn't come back from. Eddie was known to have grown frustrated as the old guard stood in front of him and his friends. Midcard was never his place in my opinion.

4 The Wall.

Oh the Flashbacks, my god this was dad, just all round bad. 2000's WCW People.

3 Chris Jericho.

Even though, I'm not his biggest fan of Jericho these days, in truth, he was a trailblazer, when it came to escaping Ted Turners evil empire. He tried at every oppotunity to get himself over, but, at every turn he was put back down, by millionaires, and higher ups.

2. Booker T.

This guy in my opinion, was badly treated by the company, however his loyalty is something that you can't teach in school. What a legend.

1. Bret Hart.

Let this be known. I'm a massive fan of his Excellency, but his WCW run was a real stark creative let down. There were clear moments in his run were he couldn't hide his displeasure, from his bad relationship with Eric Boischoff, and visceral hatred towards Ric Flair, to how his career ended at the hands of Bill Goldberg. Bret wasn't the mastermind behind his own downfall, not matter what some people might say.

Monday Night Raw Review 4.2.2025.

   Intro.

I think we can all agree that This past weekend was awesome. But with that said. Were on the road to Wrestlemania, and I love this time of year, from guessing which way storylines are going to go, to fantasy booking matches. And after this years Royal Rumble, and how the mens one ended. I can honestly say. I've never looked forward to a Mania build this much in years. Strap Yourselves in guys, because I have a feeling that this is going to be an epic ride.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Sami Zayn. Cm punk. Liv Morgan. Iyo Sky, and. Charlotte Flair, were all seen showing to the arena.

Jey Uso Segment.

I had a great time watching this at 7am this morning. Jey walked through the fans when he made his entrance, and their love and passion never wained once during this segment. Jey got to the ring, and at first he could barely speak, due to the overwhelming response the fans were giving him. When he did talk, he spoke with passion, fire, and grace. From his history, and the love he has for his family, to this point. Jey is the definition of hardwork paying off, and as a writer who's struggling to make a name for himself. I can understand all of his efforts, no one saw him as a singles guy, but he turned this around, and that gamble is slowly starting to pay off. Gunther came out, and the pair had an excellent promo dual. I like the chemistry that these two have, and this was awesome. I don't think were getting Jey vs Gunther at Mania, but in all honesty would it really be a bad thing.

Penta vs Ludwig Kaiser.

For a TV Match that needed a bit more time so it could marinade, this wasn't bad, in fact, it was very good. Penta got the win, and was then decked by Kaiser, after Pete Dunne showed his Butch like face.

Finn Balor Is Back.

Finn Balor is back, and he's acting like a big baby. Dom has been keeping the group a float, after Finn got decked by Damien Priest.

Charlotte Flair Is Back. ( uh oh )

This. Was. A real letdown. WWE have created an unwanted Creative vortex. They have been molding Charlotte into a modern day version of Tully Blanchard, with the vingnettes they have been showing hyping up her return, and then they go and do this. They turn into a babyface. Her promo was not well received by the fans in attendence, because her promo was built in the realm of a babyface. Charlotte is a natural heel, and this didn't work. Rhea Ripley then came out, and  not even she couldn't save this car wreck. I have no other words. Rhea, and. Iyo got decked by Liv Morgan, and. Raquel Rodriguez. 

6 Sami Zayn Heel Tease.

Sami Zayn was backstage getting tormented, by everyones favourite low rent Carnival freak Karrion Kross, and he walked over to see his mate. Jey Uso, in which he said he's proud of him, after his Rumble win. I'm not buying this.  Proud, more like not proud.

The New Day vs Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee.

I'm not sure what to make of this. From Logan Paul, acting like a evil mastermind, to The New Day slowly becoming completely irrelevent. The New Day got the win, and at this point I don't think I care. Which is a shame, because after that angle with Big E. they've fallen down, and it looks like they can't get back up.

Liv Morgan vs Iyo Sky Elimination Chamber Qualifier Match.

This. Was pathetic. I've seen a lot of people saying online, that this is one of Liv Morgans better Matches in recent months. And I agree, but the dodgy finish left a bad taste in my mouth. Rhea Ripley attacked Liv, causing a dq finish, meaning Liv won by default. Liv is going to Toronto, to be in the Elimination Chamber. Oh joy.

Seth Rollins Segment And Cm Punk vs Sami Zayn. 

I loved all of this. Seth started off proceedings by coming out wearing The Undertakers Bathrobe. He put over his praise of Jey Uso, whilst laughing at Cm Punks downfall. Seth started the job of working the fans by stating that Roman is injured, as the fake side of self loathing took centre stage, as he talks about the past. He then asked Sami Zayn to come out, and what came next was excellent. Seth reminded Sami who he is. A few weeks ago Punk told  Sami that he's not on his level. Seth told Sami, that he's levels clear of the second city st. This Morphed into the main event of the evening, and it was excellent. I've heard some people say that Seth vs Sami is one of the best Matches of the year, and i'm not sure if I agree. Yes, the story that both men told in the Match was great. I just think KO and Cody from this past weekend ruled major ass. The physicality that was on display here was something to behold for a TV Match, and their chemistry was awesome. I just feel that there was something missing, and I can't put my finger on what it was.

Overview of Monday Night Raw. 

Even with all of the technical faults that threatened to derail this broadcast. I had fun watching Raw this week. The promos went from sensational, to what were they thinking, and the in ring work followed the same pattern.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a high 7/10.

 

My Top 5 Takeaways From WWE Royal Rumble.

      Intro.

This will be the last piece that I write about this years Royal Rumble. I've done a main review, but I did miss some things out, so I'm going to give you lucky people a little something extra. So sit back, have a drink, and a snack, and lets get into it.

5. AJ Styles Is Back.

I jumped off of my bed, when this guy came out. AJ Styles is back, and I couldn't be more pleased to see him. It's no secret that I have been a fan of this man for many years, so yeah I marked out a bit.

4. Say His Name And He Appears.

Ok everyone sing it with me now. Say his name and he appears. I've checked, and Joe Hendry isn't behind me.

3 Pat Mcafe's energy.

I'm convinced that this guy is one of the energetic people to ever grace the WWE announcers desk. This. Was evidently clear this past Saturday.

2. I Have Lost A Lot Of Time For Trish Stratus.

Since last September when she featured in the He Who Shall Not Be Named Netflix Docu Series, when she called this awful human being a father figure. I lost a lot of respect for her. Watching her this past Saturday at the Rumble made me feel awkward. I can't understand why someone could respect another person, after they degraded her. I just don't get it.

1. Cena Did The Right Thing.

Whether you like him or not, what happened on Saturday was right. Cena did more in one night for Jey Uso, than anyone else has. He put over Jey, and it was the right thing to do.
