AEW Dynamite Review.

Jon Moxley vs Katsuyori Shibata And Everything Else.

Im skipping the intro this week, and getting straight into the action. Moxley cut a predictable promo to get the show up and off the ground, laying shame to the entire AEW Locker room, whilst giving a warning to The Young Bucks. I didn't like this, because it felt like the same old promo that we've heard before, and offered nothing new, however his Match against Shibata was ace from the start. Both men showcased their excellent chemistry and was cleverly booked. Mox got the win after he gave Katsuyori a bulldog choke. The Young Bucks came out. They gave their answers for doing what they did this last Sunday at Dynasty. Moxley and Marina had walked off at this point. Both Matt, and. Nick Jackson said they did this for their friend Hangman Adam Page, and the fact that they want to do business with The Deathriders, and asked Jon to come back out, but instead they got a comedian version of Kenny Omega, he insulted Matt and Nick, and talked about their heel actions, that put him on the shelf, stating that under their management, the house that he helped build, was rotting away into a pile of dookie. Kenny wanted a fight, but he was greated by Kazuchika Okada, and The Bucks legged it when Swerve Strickland came out, but he got decked by Pac, and their Match followed, and it was over way two soon, as Pac Injured his ankle, and an audible had to be called. Swerve gave him a stomp for the win.

Explosive 8 Man Tag Match.

The team of Mark Briscoe. Will Osperay. Speedball Mike Bailey, and. Kevin Knight, beat. Lio Rush. Action Andretti. The Beast Mortas, and. Ricochet. In a fun Match, that means these men are in the money, and if you see them in a bar over the weekend, then I think that the drinks will be on them.

Adam Copelands Is Out  Indefinately.

It's one thing to piss fans off, but it's a seperate thing to piss off Tony Schiavone. I think he wants a fight against Dax Harwood. Adam Copeland is out Indefinately, and you don't mess with Tony Schiavone.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment.

I liked this. It made the centre point of The Hurt Syndicate look a solid output, whilst it Made MJF looking like a fuming mess. MVP started off the proceedings and he was in a celebratory mood. MJF joined the line up when he came out. Max took the fans on a tour de force, and stated that he want his triple b back. Bobby said that it was cute that Max helped them on Sunday in retaining the AEW Tag Team Championships, but it was he who got the job done, when he sphered Big Bill. Both men had a verbal spat, that both MVP, and. Shelton Benjamin had to step in and stop things from escaltaing. Both Shelton, and. Bobby both then said that they don't want Max in their crew, only for later on in the broadcast, he was told by MVP that he's going to work on his crew.

Megan Bayne Segment.

Ok, i'm going to bow down to Megan Bayne, because she's one fierce woman.

Thunder Rosa vs Kris Statlander Womens Owen Hart Tournament.

I liked this. Toni Storm was on commentary, and it sounded like she was having a great time. She had fun laughing at the moment when Statlander got her tits slapped, and when  she told Taz that she's moved his car. The Match on the other hand was decent. It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Thunder Rosa, and I love watching her work, and this was no different. Even though she didn't win, she did some good business by putting over Statlander.

Damn It Don Callis Segment.

Damn It Don Callis bigged up his boys, and stating that one of them is going to win the Owen Hart Tournament.

Undisputed Kingdom Segment.

Kyle O'reilly, and. Roderick Strong, showed how proud they are of Adam Cole, and Adam said that he's going to try and bring in a new era in AEW. Ok I guess.

Chris Jericho Segment.

At first I hated this segment, but then it shifted gears. Chris Verbally berrated his team Big Bill, and. Bryan Keith, and Big Bill fired back, by saying that he was let down after he and Bryan, were made to feel like victims, by Chris when things went wrong. Chris flipped out, wrecking the TV screen prop, and dropping a nice little f-bomb. And walked out. I liked this, it's just a shame that i'm not a big fan of Jericho.

Claudio Castagnoli And Wheeler Yuta vs Samoa Joe And Hook.

I liked this. The Matches within the Match, made sense, as they sold folded in the near falls, and helped give the Match time to breathe. Joe, and. Hook got the win, after simutanuously putting Yuta, and. Claudio in the redrum, and anaconda choke, at the same time. This came to be after Mox got involved. Claudio gave Hook a Spike chair Neutriliser, and Joe took to the mic and challenged The Deathriders for the Trios Championship, as the show went off the air.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This was a fun broadcast. Yes it had it's problems, but overall I had fun watching this. The in-ring work went from good to great, and the promos were solid.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

 My Top 5 Favourite TrashTalk Moments in UFC History.

Intro.

I love MMA Trashtalk. I just love the feeling of how entertaining it is when two fighters have a go at one another, yes this is selling the fight, but in some cases it can be looked at as funny, humerous, or damn right pathetic, so here are my top 5 favourite moments of Trashtalk in UFC History.

5 Connor Mcgreggor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov UFC 229

What Can I say about this press conference. It was a stark reminder of just the world was in a differant place back in 2018. Yes this press conference is funny, but given what would come down the line for Mcgreggor, it acted as a forshadowing for what was just around the corner.

4 Don't cry.

In the build up to UFC 190. Bethe Correia said some truly terrible things to Ronda Rousey, about her dads suicide, so it made me happy when she was TKO'd her to retain her Bantamweight Championship.

3. Quinton Rampage Jackson vs Rashad Evans TUF Season 10.

This is one of my favourite seasons of TUF. with this being the 1st ever all heavyweights season, normally the centre piece is the fighters, however the animousity between the coaches, was the highlight here, and all I have to say about that is this. Don't say nothing to me.

2. Michael Bisping.

This guy gets on this list, just for being himself. The season of TUF when he was placed Against Jason Mayhem Miller is a classic.

1 Chael Sonnen.

The American Gangster Chael Sonnen, this man had an entire fight card moved to another country because of his mouth. I mean what else can I say.

 Monday Night Raw Review 8.4.2025.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Gunther. The New Day. The War Raiders. The Judgement Day. Penta, and. Paul Heyman, were seen showing up to the arena.

Womens Championship Segment.

I didn't like this. It all felt forced, and very forgetful, and another copy and paste segment, only this time, the triple threat Match was confirmed for Mania. I'm done with this feud, and just want all three ladies to move on at this point.

The Judgement Day Segment.

It's not all good in the Judgement Day hood, because both Finn, and Dom are in the 4 way for the Intercontinental Championship at Mania. Yeah he wasn't a happy man was he.

Lyra Valkyria vs Bayley.

I liked this. The Match had a solid flow to it, and decent Physicality. Lyra got the win after a excellent final exchange.

Bert Kerschesier Segment.

I don't know who this guy is, but Chad Gable hates him, and. Otis loves him. This was weird.

 AJ Styles Segment.

AJ Styles said that he's in a good place about his Match against Logan Paul, at Wrestlemania, now just stay out of it Kazza Kross.

LWO vs The Crede Brothers And El Grande Americano.

This was a lot of fun, from Chad Gable, sorry I mean El Grande Americano cheating to get the win, and Jaquin wilde flying high. I liked this.

Gunther Segment.

This wasn't the standard the heel promo, and it if i'm being honest this was the right thing to do. Gunther came out, but before he could say a word, out came Jey Uso, and he verbally took Gunther to school, from the ramifications of family life, being scared of him, to Jey controlling the narrative and driving this segment to the point of needing forgiveness, because he won't know what to do with himself, after what he does to Gunther at Mania. I loved this segment.

The New Day vs The War Raiders WWE Tag Team Championship Match.

This was a complete waste of time. The Match was thrown out when Ivor used a steelchair, and then was attacked by Kofi, as security stopped a neck assault from The New Day.

Penta vs Dominik Mysterio.

This fell flat to me. Penta got the win, and then came the shenanigans from The Judgement Day, and. Bron Breakker, this felt predictable.

Paul Heyman Segment.

Paul Heyman came out and adressed the fans, he gave the stereotypical look of being split down the middle, he's loyal to his tribal chief, and to his best friend Cm Punk. This brought out Seth Freakin Rollins, and he went on a promo tour de force, laying down some hard truths, that catered to Pauls need to be accepted, he worked on twisting and turning Pauls gears, to the point that the wiseman snapped after Seth had slapped him. Seth then attacked him. Cm Punk then made the save, and had a fight with Seth, and it happened. He put himself in harms way saving Punk from a stomp. Seth then thanked him, and then told Paul that he now owes him a favour. This was a brilliant way to take the show off the air.

Overview of Monday Night Raw.

This broadcast was a real low mix-bag, and as we head into the final stops of Mania season, this wasn't good enough.

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

AEW Dynasty Review 7.4.2025.

        Intro.

As Aew heads into the Summer months, It's important that they maintain a form of steam, from a TV output point of view, as the PPV's come in the form of a back to the back run. As i'm writing this, I have just finished watching AEW Dynasty, and let's just put it this way. he Summer is going to be an interesting time for Tony Khan. 

Will Osperay vs Kevin Knight Owen Hart Tournament.

As the way that opening Matches go, this was phenomanal. Both mens styles blended together like a fine craft beer, the gamesmanship that both men showed helped advance the Match into an interesting paradox. Will tried to give Kevin a styles clash on the ramp after a failed powerbomb attempt, but Kevin Turned this into a ddt, the counteraction that was on display here, was awesome, the near falls were well placed, and timed to perfection, as the exchanges saw Will advance to the next round, after he hit Kevin with a oz cutter, and hidden blade combo. I liked all of this.

The Hurt Syndicate vs Big Bill And Bryan Keith.

This was just fine, nothing short, nothing less just fine. The Hurt syndicate got the win after MJF gave them some help. This was very predictable, and it took me away from the Match.

Womens Owen Hart Tournament Julia Hart vs Mercedes Mone.

This was a mix-bag. Yes the physicality was decent, and I enjoyed the Match. I just don't think that it had any place on this card. I think this stretches to most of the Owen Hart Tournament Matches, that were showcased last night. Mercedes advanced to the next round. 

The Deathriders vs Rated FTR AEW Trios Championship.

I loved this. The Matches within the Match made for fascinating viewing, as the events unfolded, the mainland story that has played on TV over the past few weeks, became the inbuilt storythread of this Match, that wasn't overcoated, and didn't outstay its welcome. The near falls were well timed, and then it happened. Dax Harwood was hit with a bopsycho knee from Wheeler Yuta,  as The Deathriders retained. Rated FTR would play the role of cover artists, as they raised each other up. Only for Dax to shatter those dreams, when he tried to tempt his friend into joining his attack on Adam Copeland. Who he had given a Piledriver to. Dax wanted to give him a steelchair concerto, but this was stopped by Cash Wheeler. Dax then pushed Adam into a shatter Machine, and this was it. Cash gave his former friend a steelchair concerto. Heel FTR are here, and my god I'm here for it. Copeland was taken out on a stretcher, and all Cash wheeler did was mock him. All of this was superb, and excellently performed.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Megan Bayne AEW Womens Championship.

This was a lot of fun. From Megan's presentation, to the overacrching story of triumph, acting like the backdrop from the Rocky Films. Toni got the win, and as the refs hand counted 3, all my mind could here was the song Hearts On Fire, whilst Megan was left to learn the lesson. They don't remember you, they remember the reputation, because Megan's is now starting to grow.

Kyle Fletcher vs Mark Briscoe Mens Owen Hart Tournament.

Once again, this was a Match that I did enjoy, but it made me feel like I was watching Dynamite, and not a PPV, and this was a bit off putting in my opinion. Kyle got the win, and advances to the next round of the tournament.

Chris Jericho vs Bandido ROH World Heavyweight Championship.

This goes against everything that I believe in, because in our year of 2025, we got a good Chris Jericho Match. It's no secret that from early last year, I wasn't the biggest fan of Jericho, due to allegations that surrounded him, and opinion of him hasn't changed. The Match here was a lot of fun, with some good back and forth between both men. But thanks to Chris's Learning Tree, he was able to have some bat fun in order to get the win. Bandido's family were at ringside told Aubrey Edwards that Jericho is a big cheater, and showed her the belt. This caused Bryce Remsburg to restart the Match. This allowed Bandido to get the win, and become a 2 time ROH World Heavyweight Champion.

 Daniel Garcia vs Adam Cole TNT Championship.

This was a well paced, gratifying Match. The storythreads were centred around Adam Coles Ankle history, and. Garcias exhaustion. Imitation became the best form of flattery, as the Match was given time to breathe, but it was Cole who got the win, after he hit Garcia with a Panama Sunrise, and boom combo. Adam Cole is our New TNT Champion, and I couldn't be more pleased for him.

AEW International Championship Match Kenny Omega vs Speedball Mike Bailey vs Ricochet.

I know that were only in April, but as I sit here on a Monday Afternoon writing this. I think that Kenny Omega has two of my Matches of the year so far. This was awesome from the very outset. The energetic bursts from all three men helped elevate the competitive nature of the Match. Ricochet got a bold chant, which made slap my head. Kenny had some awesome Barricade spots, that moulded into the story of the Match. The exchanges between all three men were superb, and if i'm being honest, left me completely speechless. Kenny's triple dragon suplex was a highlight. Bailey then became Danny Larusso and gave Ricochet a Crane kick, this would play into the final exchanges, as Kenny retained his belt. This was brilliant, and then some. Oh and Okada had a stair down against Kenny, and at that point I felt like I was going to have a heart attack.

Jon Moxley vs Swerve Strickland.

I get the complaints that are surrounding around this Match, but my overall thoughts on this Match are real simple. This was a plunder inducing masterstroke in how to kill fan interest. This Deathriders overriding arc needs to come to a stop, and judging by how things played out, which featured highlights like Hangman getting Murdered by The Trios Champs, Mox accidentally taking out Marina Shafir, both Mox and Swerve having some Ladder fun, and the return of The Young Bucks, gifting Jon his belt back. I thought that the Match was well structured, but with antics like this. It's how you leave fans in the long run, that can be very detrimental, as two were the company goes in the coming months. AEW need to heed with heavy caution now more than ever.

Overview Of AEW Dynasty 2025.

I liked this PPV, from the gravity defying Match of the year contender, and the other aspects that helped make this show a solid watch, however the way the PPV ended, and the Owen Hart Tournament Matches needing to be on TV, rather to a PPV, left a mark on this show, that time won't be able to etch out.

This Years AEW Dynasty is a solid 8/10.

My Top 5 Takeaways From UFC Night 104 Emmett vs Murphy.

           Intro. 

With this being the only Apex show for the Las vegas outlet this month. It's important that the UFC use these cards to take chances, whilst looking ahead to the future. And if this show was anything to go by, then this card was a steller Saturday Evening. So here's my top 5 Takeaways from this card.

5 Tarez Finney Is A Beast.

I'm convinced that Tarez Finney isn't normal, because everytime I see this guy fight, he absolutely dominates his opponents, and tonight was no differant, because in this 3 round wrestling clinic, he more than just matched Robert Valentin, he didn't let him breathe the same air, this was a solid win, and a great performance.

4 Ode Osbourne Is The Man.

Now this how you lay someone down on their arse. Ode Osbourne is the man, and a future Flyweight Champion.

3 Hawaii Is In The House.

It's funny. I've been watching Brad Tavares since he was on Team Liddell on The Ultimate fighter season 11. I was 23 when he was on the show, i'm 37 now, and even though i've aged a bit, and put on some weight over the years, watching Brad takes me back to those times, he beat Gerald Meerscharet in a 3 round war by unanamous decision.

2 We Have A New Korean Zombie.

If fight fans are giving you the nickname of the Korean Khalib, then you have some preasure stacking up against your name, would I make those comparisons, and give them to Chang Ho Lee, well, no, because I don't think he's the finished article just yet, but does he have potential to reach that Goldring one day, well of course he does, and judging on the grounds of his performance against Ortavious Romious, I think he could be on his way.

Josh Emmett vs Lerone Murphy.

Manchesters very own Lerone Murphy is the very definition of turning your life around, from being shot in the neck, as part of a gangland attack 12 years ago, to overcoming the odds, and competing in the worlds biggest fight organisation. You can anything if you put your mind to it, and Lerone is proof of that, this man is hungry for more Featherweights, so lets not make him starve Dana. He got the win over Josh Emmett by unanamous decision.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review.

       Intro.

I love Wrestlemania Season. Everything from the build. And the excitement, to the overall execution of storytelling is something that I find enthralling. Even though this years build to the show of shows has been met with some critisism. I don't think it's been that bad. Heel Cena, and the overlooming threat of deception, is a thing that you can't take your eyes away from. So with that said, strap yourselfs in, because we are in for one hell of a ride.

Superstars Seen Showing Up To The Arena.

Braun Strowman. Jacob Fatu. LA Knight. DIY. The Motorcity Machine Gunns. Bfab, and. Naomi, were all seen showing up to the arena.

Cm Punk Segment.

This would kick off a fantastic episode long storythread. Punk kicked things off. He came out and basked in the fans admiration, by embracing them, and proceeded to take us fans on a promo tour de force, as fans at home, and the 16.000 that packed out the All State Arena all hung on his every word. From taking over on cameraman duties, telling fans about his near death experience as a baby, to being told that he doesn't belong in what he loves, but now he's a Wrestlemania main eventer, because he's earned it. He thanked the fans, whilst teasing the return of AJ Lee, and. Larry, who hasn't been in action since his Match against The Elite. This was when Paul Heyman came out, and the pair had a great Promo dual, as the overlooming threat of the favour came into light. Paul asked Punk what is this favour, and he said that he would tell him when Roman shows up. Paul would bump into Seth Rollins later on in the broadcast, and said that he also wants to hear what this favour is. Just think about it Larry could be the face for workers rights.

Nathan Fraser vs Rey Fenix.

This was a divine piece of booking, and a good showing from both men. Rey Fenix is going to have a high ceiling in WWE. Fenix beat Fraser in what was a decent piece of business.

Drew Mcintyre Vingnette

Drew Mcintyre then took shots at Damien Priest. The archer of infamy would fire back later on in the broadcast.

LA Knight vs Tama Tonga.

LA Knight, beat. Tama Tonga in a flat and Predictable TV Match, that offered absolutely nothing.

Charlotte Flair And Tiffany Stratton Segment. 

I couldn't wait to bury this segment, but if i'm honest both ladies did this for me, when they went off script. Why is Ludwig in my dm's, all of this was cruel and unacceptable. I understand that Charlotte hasn't had the best of times, but moments like this don't help her cause. Fair play to Tiffany for trying to hold her own.

Tag Team Gauntlet Match Announcement.

Next week their will be a Tag Team Gauntlet Match, and the winners will face Liv and Raquel at Wrestlemania. Raw and Smackdown on the same show, sounds good.

DIY vs The Motorcity Machine Gunns.

The Motorcity Machine Gunns got the win against DIY in a flat and boring TV Match, that offered absolutely nothing. The Motorcity Machine Gunns vs The Street Profits sounds fairly standard if i'm being honest.

Pretty Deadly Insulting The Miz

Pretty deadly insulting The Miz. I think their right. The Miz hasn't been relevent in years.

Bfab vs Naomi.

Jade Cargill Battered Naomi before the glow specialist could lay a glove on the fabulous one, but in the end it didn't even matter because Naomi got the win, and another battering in the aftermath. Nick Aldis came out, and said that their is only one way for these ladies to settle their diffences, by facing each other one on one at WrestleMania. This was what it was.

Kevin Owens Segment. 

I hated this, not because this was a bad segment. It's because we as fans got to take a look at the harsh realities of the business. Nick Aldis brought out a solomn Kevin Owens, who informed the fans that he needs to go away and get neck surgery. As KO left the ring, out came Randy Orton, both men eye balled each other up and down before KO Left. Nick told Randy that his Match was off against KO at Mania was off, and what did he get for his troubles, an RKO from out of nowhere.

Last Man Standing Match Jacob Fatu vs Braun Strowman.

I have a soft spot for this stipulation. This was a lot of fun, and it acted like, say it with me now TWO BIG MEN SLAPPING SOME SERIOUS MEAT. both men thought all over the arena, and took decent table bumps. This allowed Jacob to get the win, which means he will face LA Knight at Mania for his United States Championship.

Roman Reigns Closing Segment.

This was a fantastic way to take the show off the air. Roman was given the walk through treatment, and oh my this man was pissed off. He came out to the ring, and after he got Chicago to acknowledge him, he wasted no time in asking about this favour, he said that Punk wouldn't be back if it wasn't for him, and he wouldn't be in the main event of Wrestlemania if it wasn't for him. He called out Punk, but instead he got Seth Rollins instead. Seth's part of this dual dealt with the ramifications of reality, and his history with Roman, stating that no matter what he does he can't ignore Cm Punk, Romans mistrust of Seth was played out as their history was etched all over Romans face. Seth said that it was time to hear from from the punker. Cm Punk came out and goes into his own history with Paul, laying waste to the old regime, and the advice that Paul gave him, when you headline Wrestlemania force them to accept you, because those people aren't in the business anymore, he's going to force Roman out from his comfort zone, and Paul will be in his corner. Roman turned to his wiseman, and the silence and crying from Paul was deafening. Roman told Paul to let Punk down easy, but he couldn't do it,  Paul says no. Roman backs Paul into a corner, Punk attacks Roman in order to protect his friend, as Seth Rollins watched on, and facing off against Punk, sending the show off the air.

Overview Of This Weeks Friday Night Smackdown.

From the outright insane, down to the overarching excellence that ran through this show. Yes I did have fun watching this weeks Smackdown, but the poor evidence of TV booking did leave a small stain on this show.

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

My Top 5 List Of UFC Fights That Shook My Ground.

       Intro. 

It's no secret that I'm a massive UFC fan, I never miss PPV's, or fight night events. Even though My love for this sport has never wained. There are a selection of fights that completely left me feeling like wow, what have I just witnessed. So this list is a look at those fights with my view on short hindsight.

5 Diego Sanchez vs Clay Guida Ultimate Fighter Season 9 finale.

I remember watching this show and coming away with the thought, wow what a card. Two Brits came away as season winners, and this fight took away fight of night. Month, and year accolades, and it was well deserved. Both men put on a war in the cage that lasted for five rounds in the main event of this show. And at that moment I coined my own phrase, never count out those Lightweights.

4 Dan Henderson vs Mauricio Shogun Hua UFC 139.

This fight doesn't always get mentioned, in the best MMA fights of all time debate, but I feel that it gets overlooked. This was a war, that came at a time when the success of the UFC was going from strength to strength, and I feel that what these two did on this one night in November of 2011 was something that was needed.

3 Israel Adesanya vs Kelvin Gastlelum UFC 236.

I'm ready to die were the words that came from the mouth of Israel Adesanya, to his opponent Kelvin Gastlelum. This is a priceless war that will live on the memory of all UFC fans forever.

2 Rich Franklin vs Chuck Liddell UFC 112.

This fight wasn't a war, it was a sad reminder that one of the greats of this sports career was coming to an end. The days of the Iceman were just starting to become a memory, but given what we know now about CTE. It's probably for the best that Chuck bowed out after this fight.

1 Connor Mcgregor vs Jose Aldo UFC 194.

From the over exhausting hype train, caused by Connor, to him knocking out Aldo in 16 seconds, to cement his legacy. Pure priceless.



Thursday, 3 April 2025

 AEW Dynamite Review 3.4.2025.

Jon Moxley And Marina Shafir vs Willow Nightingale And Swerve Strickland Tornado Tag Team Match.

I liked this. From Willow doing the Nana dance, the physicality, and all round chemistry giving the Match time to breathe, and the Man on woman violence being well timed, and was not used to sell the story of the Match. I'm not a fan of man on woman violence, but this wasn't the centre piece of what i was seeing, which was the right thing. Willow got her team the win after a series of great exchanges, and a sick looking triple slam, and a powerbomb to Marina shafir. Mox then attacked Willow in the aftermath. Leaving her in need of medical attention. Swerve wanted to see to Moxley, by the end of the broadcast. This would act as a decent through episode storythread.

FTR Segment.

Dax Harwood apologised for his actions on Collision, he gave referee Paul Turner his fine Money, but as he said sorry to Cash, he got the cold shoulder. I sence a turn is coming on Sunday, and. Cash will join The Deathriders, just my thoughts.

The Owen Hart Tournament Brackets.

Ok. I don't know about you guys, the Matches on this graphic look awesome.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Penelope Ford.

I wasn't a fan of this. The Match felt like it wasn't given enough time to breathe, and it struggled as a result. Toni got the win, as Megan Bayne looked on.

MVP Segment.

MVP, and. Bobby Lashley came out, but before Bobby could get a word out, both men were greated by MJF. Maxwell gave us a tour de force in promo delivery, as his narsascism was on full effect, he insulted fans, whilst stating that he's part of the building blocks of AEW, and that Bobby needs him. Bobby counteracted this and said that he hates Max, and. The Hurt Syndicate don't need him. Max walked out, because he thinks that Peoria has a nasty stench. This gave way to Bryan Keith, and. Big Bill wrecking some local Enhance Talents, and in the aftermath challenging The Hurt Syndicate to their Tag Team Championships this Sunday at Dynasty, which was later on confirmed. I liked this

Will Osperay And Kevin Knight vs Christian Blake And Lee Johnson.

I liked this. The Matches within the Match was great, and the exchanges were solid. Knight got the win for his team after an awesome looking springboard. In the aftermath Tony Schiavone took to the mic, and told both men that their Owen Hart Tournament Match will be this Sunday At Dynasty.

The Opps Segment.

Samoa Joe said that his band of Merrymen will be at the PPV this Sunday. Ooh i'm so scared.

Brody King vs Lance Archer.

Brody King, beat. Lance Archer in a Match that resembled, say it with me now. TWO BIG MEN SLAPPING SOME SERIOUS MEAT.

Adam Copeland vs Claudio Castagnoli.

I had low expectations going into this Match, and I was right to do so, because even though this wasn't terrible. It left me with the feeling that I didn't want to watch anymore of this storyline. Because it has beyond run it's course.. Adam got the win with a sphere in what was a pretty limp Match. But it was the aftermath that became the talking point. Swerve Strickland was backstage with Renee Paquette, but he wanted to talk to her husband. As he went on the hunt for Moxley, he came across Hangman Adam Page, and both men a pull apart spat in which Swerve admitted that he deserves what he got, his house being burnt down to the ground. This led Mox and his crew to attack Swerve, and plant him through a glass plate. Mox ordered his crew to take him to the ring, and they proceeded to brutalise him, by slamming him onto a glass bed as the show went off the air. In summary the Match was boring, and the aftermath was awesome.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

Overall I liked this weeks AEW Dynamite. It felt fresh, as the PPV looms closer.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is s solid 8/10.

My Top 5 Darkest Moments In UFC TUF History.

         Intro. 

In life we face hardships, now hardships can turn into light, it's up  to the individuals to come through the worst, and make something from their lives. UFC Fighters are no differant.

      5 Junie Browning.

This guy had real issues, and it was sad to see, because his behavior was all over the place. This was just sad.

4 John War Machine Koppenhaver.

This guy appeared in season 6 of the show, competing on team Serra, and all I have to say is this. DON'T GOOGLE HIM.

3 Season 8 As A Hole.

Food, and bodily fluids. I don't think that I need to say anymore really do I, so I just won't.

2 Julian Lane.

Julian Lane. This guy had issues, and should never had been put on national TV. And no i'm not going to let him bang.

1 Tony Ferguson.

In one drunken night. Tony got into a fight with Charlie Radar. This was immensely personal, when Tony brought a legal situation surrounding charlie's son. I couldn't sit through this at the time, because I've got friends who have gone through similar things. This was beyond dark.

 My Top 5 Wrestling Matches That Went Too Far.

     Intro.

Whether it's due to sponsorhip reasons, or outright stupidity, or common sense needing to prevail. Wrestling hasn't always been able to say that enough is enough, so this is my list of Matches that went too far.

5 Cactus Jack vs HHH Hell In A Cell WWE No Way Out 2000.

This Match was all kinds of crazy, from a barbwire 2 by 4 getting set on fire, and used against the man that was that damn good, to Foley taking one hell of a bump through a cage, to JR giving some of his best commentary takes. This Match was crazy.

4. Adam Copeland vs Jon Moxley AEW Dynamite 19.3.2025.

If you've caught fire of the headlines that this has caused, then don't watch this if you're screamish, because things get spikey.

3. Chris Jericho vs Nick Gage AEW Dynamite 28.7.2021.

This was insane, and also a learning lesson. Don't advertise a Pizza company's when someone is getting sliced open. This actually happened. On this edition of AEW's flagship tv Show. Chris Jericho faced off against Nick Gage in MJF's little tournament, and if Jericho wins he would get to face MJF at All Out. The Match got started, and as the 1st ad break got started Dominos would come up. This pissed off the advertiser. who then released a statement saying that they were weighing up their options.

2 Mankind vs The Undertaker Hell In A Cell 28.6.98.

This Match has been spoken about loads over the years, so i'm just going to say this. This is mad.

1. The Many Deathmatches Of Between Terry Funk and Cactus Jack.

Both of these guys had some insane Matches with each other, and if you don't believe me just go and check them out on Youtube.
