My Top 5 UFC Fighters who Acted Like Classless Idiots.

Intro.

All sports in some cases are built on respect, but if you're an MMA fan, then you'll know that all this goes out the window during build ups to PPV's, so I decided to take a look at the most classless moments, that made UFC Fighters look like Idiots.

5 Josh Koscheck The Ultimate Fighter Season 1.

Am I the only person who thinks that Josh Koscheck is that guy at the party, who would just spend his time bullying others. I mean I could pick multiple moments in this series, his treatment of Chris Leben was awful, and laughing at someone when their not in control of their own body, just made him look, well a bit of a bad sport.

4 Tito Ortiz And Dana White UFC 84 Press Conference.

Tito Ortiz, and. Dana White. This was cringe inducing Gold, that made Both men look pretty pathetic.

3. Colby Covington.

Pick one, because this guy has a big mouth, from saying that he smack Dana White with the Welterweight Championship if he places on him, in the aftermath of his fight against Kamaru Usman, to threatening Jorge Masividals wife, yeah this guy is a walking, talking show of disrespect.

2. Michael Bisping.

Brash. Cocky, and an all round hateable figure. He's done, and said loads of things, that made him public enemy no1. From both of his stints as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, to mocking GSP. Look I love Bisping, but even I think that he's pushed the envelope a bit too far at times.

1. Chael Sonnen.

It's no secret that i'm a fan of The American Gangster, but if you go back to 2012, and his build up to his Middleweight Championship fight against Anderson Silva. He went on a one man rampage insulting the country of Brazil, and implamenting hate on the Noguiera brothers, and. Wanderlai Silva. You know they moved a entire PPV back to the United States thanks to him. I mean wow.

My Top 5 Takeaways From Monday Night Raw 29.4.25

Another Apology.

Like I always say, because of my day job guys. I'm giving you another Top 5 Takeaways list. You guys know that I love writing about Pro Wrestling, and MMA, and, when I can't do a full show review for whatever reason. It doesn't sit with me, but being the person that I am, with the strong work ethic that I have. I will give you guys something good to chew on. So here goes nothing.

5. Seth Rollins Segment.

I liked all of this, as it ran as an episode long throughthread. I think it's clear that were getting Seth vs Sami Zayn at a later point. Their interaction on both occasions was great, as Zayns heart was shown on the outside from his body. Bron Breakker wrecked Sami in the main event. I'm starting to like Seth's new gaggle of bastards.

4. Rhea Ripley Took Roxanne Perez To School.

Even though this ended in the worst way. Interference from Giulia. But when you dig beneath the surface, things like this are slowly becoming WWE's new blueprint. Veterans helping upstarts. This is a great thing to see, and I think this shows good signs going into the future.

3 Jey Uso Shuts Up Logan Paul.

God bless this man, and i'm not even a religous person. He shut Logan Paul up, so all I have to say is this. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

2. Becky Lynch Is The Best.

Becky Lynch is the best. I know that not everyone likes her as a heel, but I love this, she's like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, whilst Lyra Valkyria played the hero. Now everyone lets try and figure out who attacked Bayley. I think we should we should Dick and Barry Van Dyke in to solve the case, oh wait no Becky said that she did it, oh well then mystery solved.

1 Pat Mcafe vs Gunther at Backlash.

Pat Mcafe vs Gunther at Backlash, this is going to be funny. Nice knowing you Pat my guy.

My Top 5 Times WWE Went Too Far.

Intro.

As father time has garnered on over the years. Some moments in the WWE Libary have aged like Yogurt under the sun. So here's a selection, that might make you feel sick, or angry, you decide.

5 He Who Shall Not Be Named Makes Trish Stratus Bark Like A Dog.

I watched this, recently as part of the Vince Mcmahon Docu Series, and even though I had seen this before. It still made me sick, knowing what we know now.

4.  Ric Flair In A Mental Home.

Ok. Technically this isn't a WWE moment, but when WWE Purchased the WCW Video Libary in 2004, they bought the hideous, the bad, and the outright offensive. This series of segments were'nt just in bad taste, they were outright bullying.

3. He Who Shall Not Be Named Kiss My Ass Club.

Given what we now know about the former chairman of the board, all of this is now unwatchable.

2. HHH Outright Racism.

HHH vs Booker T Wrestlemania 19. This is a blithe in the storied career of the Cerebral Assasin. This should've never happened.

1. Katie Vick.

I feel sick just thinking about this. Guys please don't look this up Youtube, because I don't want to pay for anyone's therapy.

My Top 5 Favourite Snack Combos For Watching.

Intro.

I don't know about you guys, but I love food. And my biggest vice is eating whilst watching the UFC. I know i'm not alone in this, so this is my top 5 food combos to have whilst watching one of my favourite past times.

5 Cookies All Kinds.

Whilst I was watching UFC Fight Kansas City this weekend I devoured a whole load of Marylands, and. Mcvite's Gold Bars, and I didn't feel guilty at all.

4. Doritos And Sausage Rolls.

This one is an odd one, but my god it hits differant. Hint Of Paprika flavour Doritos loaded up with Sausage Rolls, yes please.

3. Malteasers And Coca Cola.

My dentist is going to love me. Malteasers and Coca Cola is my jam, a jam that I go back to constantly that is.

2. Pizza.

In the words of Homer Simpson. Pizza, is there anything that It can't do. Well in my opinion, no, because Have you seen the Shaqaroni Pizza from the USA brand of Papa Johns. I want it.

1. Burger And Fries.

I make the best Burger And Fries, in fact just thinking about my favourite meal just makes me want to load up UFC 92 on DVD, and have a gauging fest.

   My Top 5 Takeaways From UFC Fight Night Kansas City.

       Intro. 

As I sit here writing this piece. I was wondering what is Kansas City famous for. Well as it turned out, quite a fair bit. Football. BBQ. The blue collar attitude of America, and of course fighting. This was a great fight card, and a solid show from start to finish, so lets dig into the weeds of it.

5. Aliskerov Scares Me.

Ikram Aliskerov legit scares me, his performance against Andre Muniz was frighteningly good, what a TKO finish.

4 Holloway vs Poirer 3 Coming This Summer.

Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirer 3 for the BMF Championship, oh Dana White you tease, this turned out to be true. I was listening to the Fighting MMA podcast, whilst I was in the middle of Tesco's doing my weekly shop, when this got announced. I dropped a bottle of Coca Cola, because this was a oh s*** moment. The drinks aisle was a complete mess.

3 Randy Brown Is A Savage.

Randy Brown's knockout of Nicholas Dalby, was nothing short of a work of art. In the words of Mick Foley, oh my, oh my.

2. Ian Machado Garry.

Ian Machado Garry, beat. Carlos Prates in a solid 5 round war, and is now the back up fighter for the Welterweight title fight in two weeks time. The fighting Irish are so back.

1. Antony Smith.

In defeat Smith shows nothing but class. I can't believe that this the last time that were going to see him in the octagon. He lost to Chang Ming Yang. Yang was a gracious winner, as Antony was left in the octagon realing after a great thank you video, that featured Jellyroll. Chael Sonnen. Rashad Evans, and. Bruce Buffer all were seen saying thank you, as the emotion ran down Antony's face. From facing a hard loss at the end of last year, to leaving his gloves in the cage. Antony us fans will miss your fighting tenacity. Godspeed mr Smith.

My Top 5 UFC TUF Fighters That Didn't Seize The Oppotunity.

Intro.

The Ultimate Fighter has made stars, and it's also broken some fighters, who didn't seize their Oppotunity, so this got me thinking, which fighters failed to seize the oppotunity.

5. Gabe Rudiger Season 5.

If you're going to be on national TV in a fighting reality show, then it's best that you show up on weight, and avoid unhealthy trappings. Gabe failed on both levels, and was eliminated from the show, after he failed to make weight.

4. Matt Mitrione Season 10.

When you act like an idiot, waste your team mates , and coaches time, make it all the way to the semi-finals, and then get smashed by James Mcsweeney, then that lands you on this list.

3. Bobby Southward Season 1.

I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't stand watching this guy. I mean he was a bully.

2. Chris Tickle Season 15.

This guy had a lot of heart on the show, but when you act out, lose your fight, and annoy your headcoach Dominic Cruz, who was trying to help you, then this gets you on this list

1. Jessie Taylor Season 7.

This guy won the show, got kicked off the finale card for being an idiot, coming back eight years later winning the 25th season, and then peaking for failing a wellness policy violation. Yeah I know. Can you say what.

My Top 5 Takeaways From Friday Night Smackdown.

      Apologies. 

Ok guys it's another Top 5 Takeaways list, this is because life is being life for me at the moment, normal service will resume next week. I hope. I don't make these decisions lightly, because I love creating content for you guys, and this is the direction that I want to take my life, so here goes nothing.

5. Zelina Vega is the new United States Womens Championship.

This was the right move, and direction. And a form of fantastic representation for Porto Rican wrestling.

4 Tiffany Stratton Segment.

I hated all of this. This fell into the realm of predictability, from Jade Cargill and Tiffany having, an impromptu Match, and then it getting wrecked by Naomi, as Nia Jax's return just got lost in the miere.

3 Triple Threat TLC Match WWE Tag Team Championship.

This. Was simply fantastic. And arguably the best TLC Match in recent years. The street Profits are our new Tag Team Championships. Well done WWE.

2. The Shaqaroni Pizza Is Back.

Americans, you don't know how lucky you've got it. The Shaqaroni Pizza is back at Papa Johns, and my god It looks like a right old feast. I want one. Uuuummmmm Pizza.

1 John Cena And Randy Orton Segment.

This was fantastic. The performer and fan dynamic, was put on full display here, as both men battled back and forth on the stick. Both men will face each other at Backlash. Fair play that 6 year old who gave John the finger, that must've taken some guts. I think that this was fascinating, and I can't wait to see how this unfolds under HHH's creative guidance.

 My Top 5 UFC Fighters That Defied Age.

Intro.

The passing of father time is a real thing, and at times MMA Fighters can easily feel this strain, because from the moment that a fighter starts training, the clock starts ticking. With the added preassure of Injuries, and family life, this is a list of the Fighters that defied age.

5 Randy couture.

I have said this once, and I will say it again. This man is my hero. He started training in MMA at the age of 34, and he became the UFC Heavyweight Champion, just a few years later, and by the time he was 39, he battered Tito Ortiz, to claim the UFC light Heavyweight Championship, after Tito tried to become a businessman, whilst screwing Chuck Liddell in the process.

4 Tito Ortiz.

In the twilight of Tito's UFC Career he went on a five year losing streak that came at the end when he beat Ryan Baber at UFC 132, he would then lose to Rashad Evans. Antonio Noguiera, and. Forest Griffin as he bowed out of the Las Vegas outlet. He took time away from the sport, and then at the age of 37, he debuted in Bellator MMA, and went on to have a decent run in the promotion, that saw him become the No1 contender for Their light Heavyweight Championship, this happened in his late 30's to early 40's.

3 Stipe Miotic.

From being a real life hero, to becoming the UFC world Heavyweight Champion in his late 30's. This man should be everyones hero.

2. Frankie Edgar.

It's no secret that i'm a big fan of the Tom's River New Jersey resident. This guy isn't normal. His championship reign at lightweight lasted for just under two years, whilst he was entering his early 30's, and when he entered the twilight of his career, he proved that age is nothing but a number.

1 Alexander Volkanovski.

A couple of weekends ago Alexander Volkanovski beat diego Lopes, to become a two time UFC Featherweight Champion, at the age of 36, this in incredible, because Volk has taken quite some time away from the sport. The fight earned fight of the night rewards, proving that you can do anything regardless what age you are.

    AEW Dynamite Review.

      Intro.

With Wrestlemania now in the rearview mirror, this is the time of year when complacantcy  normally steps in. If years gone by are anything to go by. Yes the standards of American Pro Wrestling fans has in some way declined over the past twenty years. I feel that now is the time both company's need to take a look at one another, backwards copycat tactics, and booking shows to counteract your rival promotion, this leads me to say this, why can't we all just get along.

Master P Segment.

I haven't listened to this guy in nearly 25 years. The last tune I heard him put out was Kenny's Dead from the South Park Chef Aid soundtrack. He brought out The Opps, and Joe was in a celebratory mood, as he put over his faction. He also brought up the fact that Master does a lot of work in his local community for young athletes. The Deathriders came out and attacked The Opps, and Master P had fun mugging off Jon Moxley, you love to see it. The Elite joined in, so did Swerve Strickland, and. Kenny Omega. Joe then challenged Mox for the belt, this was later confirmed for Beach Break in 3 weeks time. Oh and one other thing, recently Rap has been crap, shout out WrestlingBios. This was entertaining.

The Patriarchy Segment.

Christian Cage gave his son some tough love, whilst telling us how he and his mum celebrated his ROH TV Championship win. Christian Cage, mate, tell me your secret.

Ricochet vs Mark Briscoe.

This was a lot of fun, and a great opener. From the solid in-ring work, the fans acting like rude little so and so's, chanting bald bald bald, back to back. This was a well paced exscurtion that built into a decent mid cruschendo, filled with fantastic chemistry. Mark got the win, after a great series of exchanges.

FTR Segment.

This was great. I'm loving heel FTR, and the added edition of Stokeley Hathaway has pushed this to be one of my favourite things in Pro Wrestling at this moment. Dax and Cash were on fire here, as they laid waste verbally to Daniel Garcia. The Rock'n Roll Express were in attendence, and were called into the ring, only for Dax to Humiliate them, and then attack them. This was great, and a good way to use legends, because heroes give way to hate in some worlds. Adam cole made the save.

The Young Bucks vs Kevin Knight And Speedball Mike Bailey.

This was easily the best thing Match on the card. The pacing was performed at a moderate to rapid pace, as the airing of styles made this Match, allowing it to have time to breathe. The bucks got the win with an EVP Trigger, after a great series of exchanges. Ricochet tried to attack Knight, which led to the finish. This was excellent.

Toni Storm Segment.

I took away a few of things about this segment. No1 Toni Storm wished both Ladies in the main event Luck, because the winner will be in the Owen Hart Tournament final. No2 She will face Queen Aminata on Collision in a title eliminator, and the 3rd, just like me, she's a Star Wars fan. Funny old world isn't it.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment.

I loved this. MVP puts over the dominance of his faction, the camera cuts to the big screen as MJF showed up in a nice looking car. Stopping Lashley from talking. Max gets the seal of approval from Shelton after last week, but he didn't give in for Max, he did for MVP, Max said that he gets it, but if Lashley gave him the thumbs up, then the car that he turned up in would be his. Bobby wanted to take a closer look, so Max took him to the back. Bobby got in the car, he gave Max the thumbs down, and drove off. This reminded me of the opening scene in the film Commando, because the one thing that Bobby liked about this car was the price. Max was livid, as MVP told him, sometimes in life you have to give people what they want.

Hangman Adam Page Segment.

Hangman Adam Page, and MJF in the near future, oh AEW you absolute tease.

Will Osperay And Brody King vs Konosuke Takeshita And Josh Alexander.

I liked this. The Matches within the Match was sublime, and this was elevated by the red hot chemistry between all for men. Josh got the win for his team when he gave Brody a spike. The aftermath was filled with the usual plunder, that came from the Damn It Don Callis family, attacking Hangman Adam Page, after Lance Archer attacked Osperay, which allowed Carl Fletcher to stand over him.

Jamie Hayter vs Kris Statlander Owen Hart Tournament Semi Final.

This slugfest started off a bit quiet, but when it got going things warmed up, and both ladies put forward a steller effort. Hayter got the win, and will face Mercedes Mone at Double Or Nothing next month. Mercedes came out, and staired down the Brit as the show came to an end.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

I liked this broadcast. The In-ring work was steller, and the promos were great.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

My Top 5 Takeaways From Monday Night Raw.

Apologies.

You guys know that I hate this. I had to push this back until today due to life taking over, I've had to push this back. I thrive on trying to give you guys the best content I can, so if I fall ill, or have to push things back. It's not a decision that I take lightly. So here's my top 5 takeaways from From The Monday Night Raw After Mania. Apologies for the delay.

5 Becky Lynch Is A Heel.

As the aftermath of Becky Lynch, and Lyria Valkyria losing the Tag Team Championships back to Liv Morgan, and. Raquel Rodriguez. Becky turned on her Irish brethryn. I thought this felt a bit forced. Look, i'm excited to see Becky back, but if i'm honest this fell flat in my opinion.

4. Rusev Day.

He's back, and it was glorious, because Monday was Ruuuuuuuuusev Day. Shame about how it all came about though.

3. Stephanie Vaquer vs Iyo Sky.

Iyo's Promo was what the build to the threeway at Mania should've been, and her interaction, and. Match with Stephanie Vaquer was excellent. Vaquer has a cold and menacing style to her in ring work, and promo style, and when you mix it all together, it just makes magic. Yes the interference from Giulia, and. Roxanne Perez was a bit predictable, but overall this was great.

2 Seth Rollins Segment.

Some people would put this at the top of their lists, but for me what comes next is better. I'm not going to ruin this for anyone who hasn't seen this, but you need to go and check this check out.

1 John Cena Segment.

This was vile vitriol, that centred around the back and forth of abuse, that sang the song of a dodgy break up. The fans were on form here, as Cena ran down his remaining dates, that he has left in WWE, to everyones saviour Randy Orton RKO'ing the daylights out of him. I can't wait to see how HHH is going to weave this story.

Honourable Mention.

Ok Gunther, it's one thing to beat up the brother of the man who says yeeeeeeeet a lot, but you leave Michael Cole, and. Pat Mcafe alone you bully.

 My Top 5 Matches That Happened During The Undertakers Streak At Mania.

Intro.

In the stadium, the lights go down, and the sense of dreading fate and doom echoes around the place, and goes around all fans senses. Metallica made the phrase For Whom The Bell Tolls, but as the fear of neverending doom comes close, the reaper from Deathvalley has moulded Mania history, into his own path of Hell, and in hindsight it has been a pleasure, and a nightmare as the numbers grew into existance.

5 Boneyard Match Mania 36.

As the circumstances of the worlds reality grew in 2020. WWE faced a Challenge for the show of shows. As the situation got worse, the company was forced to make a drastic change in how Wrestlemania would be pressented. Instead of it being hosted at Raymond James Stadium in Florida, they went  behind cloesd doors, and filming it from an empty performance centre. This ment that The creative had to come up with ideas. And this in my opinion was one of the best. The Undertaker vs AJ Styles in a Boneyard Match. This was a visual treat, and an all out fun ride, that was soundtracked by Metallica. This may not have been the best way to send off The Deadman, given the circumstances. I think WWE did the best they could. I know this isn't in the streak, but I just love this Match.

4. The Undertaker vs HHH Mania 17.

In late 1999 due to gaining a shopping list of injuries that Mark Calloway had collected over the past decade. He took time off, and didn't come back until May 2000's Judgement day PPV. This wasn't the same old Taker, he had donned a new persona, instead of the drench of impending doom, we were greated by a blueprint of American Freedom. The American Badass. Fast forward ten months, and he was getting ready to play The Game at Mania in the confines of a No Holds Barred Match. From Motorhead walking down the future COO, to both men crafting a fun Match, that still holds up today.

3 The Undertaker vs Cm Punk Mania 29.

Even though this Match is heralded as a work of genius. The build was less so in my opinion. Paul Bearer who's real name is William Moody, sadly passed away. The build was extremely raw and uncomfortable to watch, as Punk played with Takers Urn, I get this was a planned spot, but to me this was a bit distasteful, and as the weeks went on, this elevated the hype around the Match, I just think that there was another way to go about this. The Match however was a stellar look at how Taker was aging, and how a career at this time, we may have reached its peak. I rewatched this Match recently, and it is a reminder of what i've just mentioned, and it got me thinking. Age is nothing but a number.

2. The Undertaker vs Batista Mania 23. 

This was a rivalry that shaped the landscape over on the bluebrand, over the space of 2007, in a time when the industry would undergo a massive overhaul, but three months before this happened, this Match took place at Mania 23. Both men were pissed off when they were told that they weren't going to be getting the main event slot, so they went out there and stole the show. And they call HBK The Showstopper.

1 The Undertaker vs HBK Mania 25.

This Match is a true test of wills, from start to finish. There's a reason why fans say that this is a classic. Those who were in attendence were on their feet from the moment when both men made their entrances, and throughout the entire 20 plus minute duration of the Match. Timeless people. Just timeless.

Wrestlemania Night 2 Review.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Cody Rhodes. Randy Orton. Lyra Valkyria. Bron Breakker. The Judgement Day. Penta, were all seen showing up, whilst the ladies in our opening Match were getting ready.

Stephanie Mcmahon Segment.

Man this was painful. She welcomed us to night 2, and harped on about her memories. I hated this.

Iyo Sky vs Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley.

This in my opinion was my Match of the night. From Bianca's step daughter giving her luck on the entrance, to the Match resembling a fast paced race, that showed no signs of letting up. All three women had minor energetic bursts that worked well to sell the Match. Bianca at one point turned into a female version of Jean Claude Van Damme, when she blasted Iyo in the later stages. Iyo reversed a riptide, which led to a series of fantastic Exchanges, that gave way to the finish, as Iyo Retained her belt.

Sin City Street Fight Drew Mcintyre vs Damien Priest.

As I watched this Match unfold. My went to one thing. Me and Damien Priest both met Kerry King. I met him at a signing tent at the Reading Festival back in 2006, whilst last night he played Priest out to the ring, funny old world isn't it. Whilst Drew came out and walked by prop that wouldn't look out in an old episode of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. From the lore that harped back to last year. Priest got put through a table, he took an after shock ddt on the steel steps, and took even more table punishment, after attempting to old school. This is what led to the finish, as Drew gave Priest a steel chair Claymore for the win. Priest did get in some good offense, but it was ineffective. I liked this.

 Penta vs Bron Breakker vs Finn Balor vs Dominic Mysterio Ic Championship.

I liked this. The 4 way dynamic was worked well here, and it played into the Match perfectly, as this was another Match that relied on having energetic bursts. The exchanges were great, as The Judgement Day over riding arc, was the main point of the Match. This would lead to the finish, as Dom Pinned Finn after Coup de grace attempt on Bron Breaker. Dom hit a splash on both men, and is our Intercontinental Champion.

Randy Orton vs ?.

Who was Randy Orton's Opponent going to be. Could it be Nick Aldis, could it be Simon Miller, well no, because if you said his name then he might just appear. It was Joe Hendry. The pair had a fun Match, and Randy got the win, as the emotion dripped down Joe's face.

Logan Paul vs AJ Styles

This fell flat. And it never recovered. The multi layered story elements with Karrion Kross were pointless, and the back and forth between both men felt a bit forced in my opinion. Logan got the win.

Raquel Rodriguez And Liv Morgan vs Lyra Valkyria And ? WWE womens Tag Team Championship

Lyra Valkyria's Mystery Partner was none other than a returning Becky Lynch. The Match was a bit safe for my liking. The look on Liv's face said everything. Her and Lyra became the new Tag team Champions. Yes i'm excited to see Becky back, but I just feel that this was a wasted oppotunity, because this screamed Monday Night Raw after Mania. Just my opinion.

Stone Cold Steve Austin Segment.

Stone Cold Steve Austin told  us the gate record for last night, and the weekend as a whole, and beforehand taking out crowd menbers with his buggy. This caused Nick Khan to run to ringside to smooth things out. I don't know about you guys, but I would where this like a badge of honour. I got run over by Stone Cold Steve Austin, and I lved to tell the tale.

John Cena vs Cody Rhodes WWE Championship.

I liked this. The contrast between both men was a day and night look, that was fascinating. Cody entrance was based on the excitement of the dream of Americana, whilst Cena's was a bleak look into the future, as the dis taste of fan acceptence ran down his face. The balance of the Match resembled lyrics from one of my favourite bands Linkin Park. Fear is how I fall. In terms of how the Match played out it went the way I thought it would, but the dynamic that played was something to be seen. Cena wasn't powering out as a babyface, his complete demenour had changed, and it was a glimpse into  were the company was heading. Cena got the win with a simple belt smash to the head, as his heel antics became the centre piece of WWE's fabric. I get that this Match had several problems, that were pain sakingly bad. But in my opinion the overarching fear of doom is how us fans are going to fall, and it's going to be a sight to be seen. Cena is now a 17 time World Heavyweight Champion. His isn't up, and us fans don't deserve it to be now.

Overview of Wrestlemania Night 2. 

Night 2 ran smoother in my opinion. I thought that the in-ring work was a lot more stable, which allowed the story's to flow. I get that some fans might not like the outcome of the Main event, but if i'm honest I feel excited about were WWE take Cena under HHH leadership.

Wrestlemania Night 2 is a solid 8/10.

 Wrestlemania 41 Night 1 Review.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

I'm skipping the intro so lets get straight into it. Roman Reigns. Paul Heyman. Cm Punk. Charlotte Flair, and. Tiffany Stratton were all seen showing up, whilst Jey Uso, and Gunther were shown getting ready for their Match.

HHH Segment.

The new solo hall of famer HHH welcomed us to Wrestlemania, and at this point I was thinking, just get on with it.

Jey Uso vs Gunther WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

I liked this. From Jey making his entrances with the help of Cheerleaders, and flag banners, to Gunther coming out on his own. This made both men look like a study in contrast, and it was the right call to make. From the early groundwork which acted as a mask for Jeys Injury. This kicked off what was a lofi burner, complete with Superb back and forth, as the final exchanges brought a close to the Match. Jey got the win by choking Gunther out. A lot fans have been divided over the finish, but in my opinion. I think this made a lot of sense when you think about. What Jey is saying is this, an eye for an eye is a powerful thing.

The New Day Vs The War Raiders WWE Tag Team Championship.

I didn't like this. The whole Match felt phoned, and predictable. The New Day are the new Tag Team Champions.

Naomi vs Jade Cargill.

This was just fine. From Naomi looking like she had just stepped of the music video set for The Backstreet Boys Larger Than Life, whilst Jade took her comic book cosplay to the next level, as a weather report was the backdrop for her entrance. The in ring work was clunky, and it never got up off the ground. Jade got the win, and I was left with the feeling of confusion, because this wasn't great.

LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu WWE United States Championship.

Even though I didn't think much of this Match. It was better than what I thought it would be. This was another state of both men being a study in contrast. Knight made his entrance in a Mazzarati, whilst Jacob walked out with Solo. The near falls and exchanges were good, and the work overall was decent. Jacob got the win, and is our new United States Championship. But the big question is this, will I be rewatching it? the answer to that is no.

Rey Fenix vs El Grande Americano.

Fenix was a last minute replacement for Mysterio who was injured in a Match the night before on Smackdown. This was a lot of fun. and showcased that both men had decent Chemistry, that allowed the Match to breathe, but even though this was fun. It's also forgettable. El Grande got the win.

HBK Segment.

HBK told us the attendence for night 1 was 61.467. And if you aint down with that, then, ok, I guess.

Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte Flair WWE Womens Championship.

I liked this.  From the Nsync reference used for Tiffany's entrance, to Charlotte Flairs  proving that Rolls Royce's are for fun. With the build going off the rails, the match stayed on course, and as a result the Match was given time to breathe, as it managed to mix fiction with reality. Stratton retained, and this told me the fact that Flair had done the right thing for business.

Hall Of Fame Class.

I love Bret Hart for these reasons. His eye roll was classic here, because I felt the same way. HHH getting an overexapated entrance was a joke.

Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns vs Cm Punk.

With no belt on the line WWE were heavily banking on story to create the nesicicary drama in order to sell the Match. Over the past few weeks I have been going through my old Sons Of Anarchy DVDs. The shows overarching themes of Jealousy, betrayal, and control, were all played out here, to pulverising effect. The video Packages that came beforehand were sensational, as they teased what could possibly come. From The Shield lore acting like a support act to something that is much bigger at play. The near falls molding into the Match like a warm blanket, to Paul Heyman committing the ultimate act of btrayal, he low blowed his best friend Cm Punk, and his Tribal Chief, allowing Seth to use the chair that he had brought into the ring. This allowed Seth to hit a stomp on Roman after he smacked him in the back with the chair. All of this was fantastic, and a great piece of storytelling. Over the years I haven't always been a fan of Heel Rollins, but this is a new WWE, under a differant creative force. Which means watching Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins run down their former adversaries is going to make for fascinating viewing. This was brilliant stuff.

Overview Of Wrestlemania Night 1.

This was a night that thrived on highs and lows, and as a result what we got was an inconsistant showing, that had some good, to great highlights.

Wrestlemania 41 Night 1 is a solid 7/10.

   My Top 5 Worst Wrestlemania Matches In WWE History.

  Intro.

This weekend sees the return of the show of shows, and over the years we've seen some excellent Matches, but there has also been some stinkers, that no one tends to really talk about, so I decided to give it a go, so sit back and relax, and read my list of the Top 5 worst Wrestlemania Matches in WWE History.

    5. Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar Mania 20.

This was a victim of various circumstances. Both men were leaving the company in the aftermath, and the fans were pissed. I remember watching this with my dad when I was sixteen, and he asked me why are the fans booing both men, and I had to go through the hole situation. Both men looked visibly annoyed.

4. Bray Wyatt vs Randy Orton Mania 33.

From the Match running at a slow pace, Maggots showing on the canvas, to Randy getting the win, which was a decision that was universally panned, to this leaving me with the feeling of confusion. I think its' safe to say that this was a letdown

3 The Undertaker vs Sid Mania 13.

This Match stank, and if you believe the rumours, it did literally, this was a poor mismatch, and a badly executed waste of time.

2 The Undertaker vs The Giant Gonzalez Mania 9.

This Match gives me nightmares, not because it's scary, it's because this was just all round terrible.

1. Lawrence Taylor vs Bam Bam Bigelow Mania 11.

If you could sum up the World Wrestling Federation in 1995, it would come in the shape of this Match. Look I get it you have to get eyes on the product from all works of life, but using a football player who at the time had no experience in a wrestling ring is just plain dumb in my opinion. The match left many fans feeling purplexed, and outright angry, and this got me thinking. If the WWE Network was a thing back in 1995, just how many fans would've rage quit the app as a result. Thumbs would still be burning if this happened ten years later.

 

AEW Collision Spring Break through Edition.

      Intro. 

As this week has gone, news has come out that AEW's Forbidden Door is going to emmulate from the 02 in London, whilst also making their Scotland debut. I'm not going to Forbidden Door this year. This is due to the fact that my focus needs to be on this, because you guys know, that this is my passion, and with the impending start of advertising coming soon. I'm going to need to put in a lot of work. I've managed to build something special here, but if i'm going to turn this into my job, then more needs to be done.

 The Deathriders Segment.

I felt bad for Tony Schiavone, and. Nigel Mcguinness, because they couldn't even get a word out before The Deathriders caused a load of mayhem. Mox took to the mic, and told fans they can celebrate all they want, because it's not going to last for long, he laid waste to The Young Bucks, and then challenged Samoa Joe to a Match for his AEW World Heavyweight Championship. This was well performed, but overall I feel like this segment treaded over old ground, and offered nothing new.

Kevin Knight vs Lance Archer.

This Match resembled a one sided beatdown, with an excellent sense of fight back. Knight got the win, in what was a solid Match. I loved how the big vs small dynamic played out, because it was well balanced, and if you look back through history in wrestling, this isn't an easy thing to do.

The Opps Segment.

This footage was caught after Wednesday nights Dynamite. I liked this. All three of these guys look like a positive murderers row.

Kris Statlander And Jamie Hayter Segment.

Jamie Hayter vs Kris Statlander next week on Dynamite in the Owen. Yes please AEW.

Tony Schiavone Hates FTR.

Tony Schiavone vs FTR at Double Or Nothing. Book it now Tony, because this would be comedy.

Josh Alexander And Konosuke Takeshista vs Tomohiro ishii and Rocky Romero.

This was flat. I didn't like this. With the talent that was involved I was expecting so much more, but that didn't happen. Josh, and. Konosuke got the win, and then a returning Trent Barretta joined his old mate in turning on Ishii, and returning to the Damn It Don Callis Family. Ropongi Vice is back people. Oh joy.

Muppet Mercedes.

These dolls need to be made available to fans as merch, because they would sell. I love Harley Cameron.

Megan Bayne Wrecks Fools.

Megan Bayne Wrecked some local enhancement talents in less than two minutes. I love Megan Bayne, but this felt a bit pointless. 

Adam Cole vs Claudio Castagnoli TNT Championship Open Challenge.

I liked this. Both men put forward a great effort. The Match had a solid flow, and as the Match entered its final stages, the exchanges got better, as Cole retained his belt. 

Big Bill And Bryan Keith Segment.

Big Bill is right, he and Bryan Keith are better off not being in the Jericho Vortex.

LFI vs Some Local Talent Enhancements.

LFI, beat some local talent enhancements, in a flat, and boring TV Match, that offered up absolutely nothing.

Nick Wayne vs Kommander ROH TV Championship Match.

I liked this. It had a fun energy to it, thanks to the fans wanting a piece of momma Wayne. Patrick be careful what you say. The in ring work was turned up a gear, as both men showcased a sense of flair that was missing from most of this card. Nick got the win, and is the new ROH TV Champion. And his Mum and Dad both looked very pleased.

Mercedes Mone And Harley Cameron vs Krist Statlander And Julia Hart.

Even though this Match wasn't much to write home about, I did think this was an interesting balance of styles. I liked the chemistry between both teams, but this didn't mesh with the physicality, and as a result the Match suffered. Harley And Mercedes got the win, and yet again Toni Storm on commentary was hilarious. Look I have the same sense of humour as a 10 year old.

Overview Of AEW Collision Spring Break through.

As a fan sitting here writing this on Good Friday. I have to say that I did enjoy this show. Was it perfect no, but did I have fun watching it, yes.

This weeks AEW Collision is a solid 7/10.

AEW Dynamite Spring Breakthrough Review.

Mercedes Mone vs Athena Owen Hart Tournament Semi Final.

This was the perfect start, to what was an awesome show. The fans were on red hot form here, and it bled into the match. Both ladies put forward some great chemistry, and excellent physicality. This was a PPV level Match, showcased to the masses for a TV audience, this was fantastic. Mercedes got the win, and now advances to the final at next months Double Or Nothing. Toni Storm was in the crowd, catching up with the fans, aka slumming it.

Hangman Adam Page Segment.

The only thing that I took away from this segment was this. DON'T TEASE ME TONY I WANT HANGMAN VS OKADA NOW.

American Sport Stuff.

Who's Tuukka Rusk. Look i'm dumb when it comes American Sports teams, so I have no idea who this was. I'm British guys, what more can I say.

Hangman Adam Page vs ? Owen Hart Tournament

The big question going into this weeks Dynamite was, who's going to be Hangmans mystery opponent in the Owen Hart Tournament, well it turned out to be Josh Alexander. This was a clever move, and some sensible booking. The Match was another PPV worthy TV Match, that followed the same pattern as the opening encounter. Hangman got the win, and now advances in the Owen Hart Tournament. I liked this.

The Patriarchy Segment.

Christian Cage, and. Nick Wayne aired out their family issues, complete with NJPW backwoods gifts. I don't know what to make of this.

Gates Of Agony vs The Hurt Syndicate AEW Tag Team Championship.

The Hurt Syndicate, retained their AEW Tag Team Championships, in a decent Match against. The Gates Of Agony. I liked this. But once again it was the aftermath, that was the most entertaining thing about the Match. Max put over his own version of talent, some fine ladies that he's found from the classy area of Boston, to please Shelton. Bobby, and. MVP, but Shelton was a bit gready because he wanted Max's watch, but this did nothing for Max, because he still wasn't allowed to join this selective club. He layed out some truths to the crew he wants to join and leaves. I liked this, man those ladies looked fine.

Will Osperay vs Konosuke Takeshita Owen Hart Tournament Semi Final.

This was an on set thrill ride, from start to finish, that never let up. The story of the Match took a back seat to the physicality, and it was great to see. The Near falls fell into place perfectly, and after this we were treated to a fantastic series of exchanges, that saw Will advance to the Final of the Tournament. This was brilliant.

The Deathriders vs The Opps.

With Pac, and. Hook both out due to injuries. Jon Moxley, and. Powerhouse Hobbs stepped into their shoes, and the gamble paid off. From Interference spots from Willow Nightingale. Swerve Strickland, and. The Young Bucks adding to the drama of the Match, as the final levels of physicality, gave way for some decent Exchanges, this caused The Deathriders to lose thier focus, and lose their belts, after Joe put a choke on Mox for the win. As the broadcast came to an end. The Locker room cleared out, and celebrated in the ring, in what was a great memory, and ending to one of the best ever editions of AEW's weekly TV outings.

This Weeks AEW Dynamite is a clear 10/10

 My Top 5 Wrestlemania Moments That Happened At The Right Time In My Life.

Intro.

Wrestling is a funny old game, it has its own trials and tribulations, but these moments can mean a lot to fans, as we go around in our day to day life, and the show of shows is no exception to that, whether you attend in person, or watch from the comfort of your own home. These are some of the moments in Mania that came at the right time, and the right place.

5 Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar Mania 38.

Even though nowadays Brock is considered Persona non grata in the WWE these days, this Match was part of first Mania that I reviewed. This Match gets a lot of hate. But I don't think it was that bad.

4 Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart Mania 12.

I was 9 years old when this happened. My mum at the time told me after this Match, that I could do anything, if I put my mind to it, so all all these years I'm a blogger. I guess you could say that the boyhood dream is slowly coming true.

3 The Hole Of Wrestlemania 16.

I have a good reason why this show has ended up on this list, now don't get me wrong Mania 16 wasn't the best show, that the WWE has ever put forward, but it was the first one that i watched with friends. Watching wrestling with the boys, and. Claire the only girl in our troupe. Priceless.

2. Roman Reigns vs The Undertaker Mania 32.

Look I get that this Match was a letdown, but for me it took me away from my worries. My worklife at this point was a major cause for concern. I managed to get through my issues as the months went.

1 The Boneyard Match.

The circumstances of this Match were a stark reminder, that at the worst of times, we all need some escapism. The world had been plunged into chaos, as the Pandemic took a grip on our society. Mark Calloway has gone on record to state that he was proud of this Match, given the situation that the world was in. It had reflections on his personal life as well, because his brother passed away at the same time.

Monday Night Raw Review

Intro. 

Happy Mania week everyone. This is week that every wrestling fan looks forward too. I'm all here for it.

Superstars seen showing up.

Jey Uso. Penta. Finn Balor. Seth Rollins, and. Paul Heyman were all seen showing up to the arena.

Gunther Segment.

This wasn't supposed to happen until later on in the broadcast. But given the fact that Gunther was pissed off. He called Michael Cole to come into the ring, and he went on a tirade, slamming Jey Uso, saying that he's full of crap, but as the fan support for Uso grew. Gunther said screw everything, because he's the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time. He put over the balance of control, because on Saturday Jey is going to drown in his brothers blood, and afterwards Gunther is going to call his mum. Agh isn't that nice. I loved this segment.

Liv Morgan vs Bayley.

This was a clunky misfire, that never got out of the gates. Bayley got the win, now lets move on.

Rey Mysterio vs Julius Crede.

As this Match played out in my head, because CHAD GABLE IS EL GRANDE AMERICANO, ok Patrick calm down it's just a wrestling storyline. Rey got the win thanks to Chad, I mean EL Grande.

New Day vs The War Raiders At Wrestlemania.

The New Day vs The War Raiders at Wrestlemania, oh go on then WWE if you must.

AJ Styles vs Karrion Kross.

AJ Styles, beat Karrion Kross in a flat TV Match, and then had a meeting with Logan Paul. Everyone's favourite douchebag congratulated AJ, whilst insulting the fans. He said that AJ's win last night is the reason why their Match is going to cook on Sunday. He then pressented a film dedicated to his favourite subject, himself. AJ at this point was bored, and told Logan to get in the ring and they could fight right now. Karrion helped Logan get the upper hand on AJ, as the Crypto moron took laid him with an iron punch.

Jey Uso Segment.

I have no words to describe this segment, other flawless, his back and forth relationship with the fans, is something to be heard and seen. I love this man.

The Judgement Day Segment.

Bron Breakker got wrecked by The Judgement Day whilst he was being interviewed by Kathy Kelly, this would lead to the finish of the Penta vs Finn Balor, which got thrown out.

Womens Championship Vingnettes.

From the early stages of the broadcast, the three women in the Womens Championship Triple threat, and they were better than the actual build to the Match at Mania.

Roman Reigns Segment.

All of this was excellent, from the balance between love, and. betrayal. Seth Rollins doing his best Death Of A Salesman routine, and stating facts that Paul can't be trusted, whilst stating that Roman cares about Roman, because Seth does what is best for business, because paul made the choice to stand in Punks corner. Roman then decked Seth, and then shoved over his wiseman. Punk then came out to help his friend, but he ate a sphere, only for Seth to smash him in the back with a chair, calling back to how Seth broke up The Shield. This was a fantastic way to end the show.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

This was a decent go home show before the show of shows, and it's made me very excited for Mania this weekend.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 8/10.

 My Top UFC Fighters That Pissed Off Dana White.

Intro.

You know that saying Don't piss off the boss, well i'm pretty sure that whoever coined that phrase owes Dana White a nice cold beer, because over time during the Bostians tenure as the head chief of the worlds biggest fight organisation, many UFC fighters have angered the bossman, to the point of boiling rage, so here are my top five contenders for the top 5 fighters who pissed off Dana White.

5 Randy Couture.

Were do I even begin with this guy. You could make the arguement that this was coming. Randy's dispute with Zuffa went back nearly six years before Couture would take the organisation to court. Ranging from personal disputes over money, to overall respect. Randy knew his worth, and wanted more for himself, so after the outcome of his fight at UFC 74, against Gabriel Gonzaga in which he bested the Brazilian to retain the Heavyweight Championship, he wanted out of his contract, but Dana said nope your mine, and your not goping anywhere. This would lead to Randy essentially hold the belt hostage, until he was beaten for the strap by Brock Lesnar. Randy took the UFC to Court, and lost. His case. His belt in the fight, and the respect from Dana White.

4 Colby Covington.

This Florida native has one hell of a big mouth. In an interview he said that If he beats Kamaru Usman, he wouldn't want Dana to put the Welterweight belt on him, and if he did, then he would smash the President of the UFC over the head with it. To which Dana responded by saying. Good luck with that, he's a big dumb f****** idiot. Don't ever change Dana.

3. Matt Riddle.

Their isn't a lot that I can say about this guy other than, he's a marajuna loving idiot, who even wrestling fans can't stand the sight of. Don't Google him.

2. Paul Daley.

This is a vital lesson to any fighter who is coming up in the game. YOU DON'T SUCKER PUNCH YOUR OPPONENT IN THE AFTERMATH OF YOUR FIGHT. This is what happened in the after seconds of Paul Daleys fight against the brash an obnoxious Josh Koscheck. White said that he will never fight again in the UFC, and he didn't, but he did manage to carve out a decent going in Bellator.

1 Tito Ortiz.

The history between these guys, goes back years. Money, and business can be a devisive thing, and when you bite the hand that feeds you, things can go south quite quickly. From Money issues, to alligations of Bullying. Tito vs Dana people. I don't think I could sum this up any easier.

 My Top 5 Takeaways From UFC 314 Volkanovski vs Lopes.

Honourable Mention.

Before I get into the main show part of this piece. I have to give a shout out to Amanda Nunes for getting into The UFC's Hall Of Fame Modern Wing. I think this is well deserved, because she took everyone on, beat them, and left a mark in the sport that will never ever be replocated. Well done Amanda, you're my goat.

5 Dominic Reyes Oh My.

Dominic Reyes is a beast, and his performance last night against Nikita Krylov, was something to behold. He ko'd Krylov with ease. Dominic Reyes oh my, oh my.

4 Jean Silva.

Jean Silva, beat. Bryce Mitchell by submission, as President Trump watched on. Can you say Irony. The sight of Joe Rogan done up as a nerd in the aftermath was a real sight to behold. He looked like cross between, Brains from Thunderbirds, and. Dexter from Dexters Laboratory.

3 .Patricio Pitbull Is In The UFC.

I didn't like this fight. Yair Rodriguez was a game competitor, but as for Patricio. I don't think that he was up for it last night, and this is a real shame because I have been a fan of his for some time. Yair got the win by unanamous decision.

 2. Oooooh Paddy The Baddy.

Last night Paddy Pimblett dominated Michael Chandler, in what was his best performance of his career so far. I mean what more can I say, other than this. Yes. I was entertained.

1 Volk Is Back.

Guess who's back, back again. Volk is back, go and tell your friends. Guess who's, back guess whos back, guess who's back, guess who's back, bah na na nu now. This was a masterful performance, and a reminder to never judge  someone by their age. Alexander Volkanovski is the man, and a two time Featherweight UFC Champion at the age of 36. I think he's everyones hero at this moment in time.

 My Top 5 Takeaways From Friday Smackdown.

Apologies.

I have to start this off with not one, but two apologies. The first. Is because I wasn't able to do a full review of this weeks Friday Night Smackdown, due to my day job schedule, and the next one is because I won't be doing an AEW Collision review this week, this is because It's Wrestlemania week, and I have a load of content surrounding the show of shows that needs to be worked on. You guys know that I don't make these decisions lightly, because I want to give you guys my best, and these situations sometimes can't be helped.

5 Nick Aldis Segment.

As an opening segment, this fell a bit flat, yes his moments with Randy Orton, and the Temu Bloodline was decent, but overall this was pathetic, and a bad case of been there seen it, and as for LA knight making the save, well I have no words. This also set up a tame main event.

4 Womens Tag Team Gauntlet Match.

Lyra Valkyria and Bayley, beat. PFC. Natalya, and Maxine Dupri. Kayden Karter and Katana Chance, and Secret Hervice, to become the no1 contenders for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez at Wrestlemania. This was predictable.

3 The Flair And Stratton Situation.

This clip went viral. ( apparently ) Oh well I'd rather they batter the taste out of each other, than get the mess we got last week.

2 Drew Mcintyre.

Drew Mcintyre is my guy for this reason, he battered Damien Priest whilst cosplaying as Snake Pliskin. God bless you Drew.

1 Rey Fenix Has Another Lofi Banger.

Rey Fenix's start to his WWE career has started off on a good note, and on this night he had a lofi banger of a Match against Berto. I liked this.

My Top 5 Realest Moments In UFC History.

Content Warning.

This article contains references to Abuse that some readers might find upsetting, reader discretion is advised.

Intro.

In the hardcore world of MMA, reality can be quite scarce, from injuries, to fighters being awesome human beings, and everything that comes inbetween. This sport does have a darkside, that can be psychological, but the guiding light from some fighters, has never been gone out.

5 Jon Jones Before UFC 135.

Let this be a lesson to all robbers, don't ever come across Jon Jones, and Mike Winklejon after you've tried to rob a woman, because it won't end well for you. This is what happened before UFC 135, Before Jones beat Quinton Rampage Jackson. This is the type of thing that when you hear it, you think that this isn't true, but judging by the amount of eyewitnesses that their were, i guess this is the case. See kids this is proof that crime doesn't pay. Jon Jones could learn from that.

4 When Trash Talk Gets A PPV Moved.

Chael Sonnen, and the country of Brazil, go together like cheeseburgers, and  acid. This started off with The American Gangster running his mouth about Anderson Silva, and. Wanderlai Silva, and then insulting the entire country, and insulting its women. by acting like a sexist idiot. This pissed off an entire country of Brazil to the point that, due to fears for Chaels safety his fight against Anderson Silva, was moved from Rio Brazil in June, to California in July. You heard that right the UFC moved this fight card due to one mans mouth.

3. Real Estate.

Sometimes the call of the real world, and fighting don't always go together. I mean just take a look at the recent liable case surrounding the the UFC just to catch a drift into how badly fighters in some cases are treated. Case and point. In 2013, both Chris Leben, and. Brian Stann two former UFC standouts, retired from the sport, and took up jobs in real estate. Now I get that when you know that your time has come to retire, you need to listen to your boby, but to choose a new line of work, just speaks volumes, when you look at the toxicity of the sport.

2. The Build Around Fight Island.

For all of the world. March 2020 was a worrying, and all round concerning time. For what was coming around the corner, was here, and it held everything in it's grasp. All majors sports were outright held back until further notice, except for the WWE, and. The UFC. The Conneticut group  ran shows from their performance centre, whilst the Vegas outlet waited until the middle of May, to comeback, giving fight fans a sense of normalcy. This wasn't always the case. When the Pandemic kicked off. Dana White said in a company video message, that the company would be going ahead with all of its shows, this was until Vegas was shut down. In Mid April White came out and said that he was going to create Fight Island. Yas Island in Abu Dhabi was the home, and just like that. The Sport world sat up and took notice, and fans had something to look forward to.

 1 #FreeCainValesquez.

This is recent, disturbing, yet vital. In febuary 2022. Cain Valesquez was arrested for the attempted murder of a man who abused his son, and just last month he was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison. I think that this is extremely unfair. He did what any parent would do in that situation. I'm not a parent, but if I had children, and you did this to my child, then the only thing I can say is this. you better get in your car, and drive far away, because if I find you, then you're in trouble.

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.
