My Top 5 Times that Wrestling Broke My Expectations.
Intro.
Have you ever heard of the phrase expect the unexpected? It's one that when I was growing up I would hear all the time on TV shows, this would be a way of telling the audience that you won't what the writers have managed to do. In my eyes Pro Wrestling holds this same mantel, because if you live in the world of faulse pretences, anything can happen.
5. Kurt Angle vs Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 21.
I thought this would be good, but I never imagined that it rule the way it did. If you haven't seen this, then I urge you to check this out.
4. HBK Who's Your Daddy Montreal.
HBK, and. Montreal, go together like crisps, and a molatov cocktail, because on this night in august of 2005 The stage was set for pure vitriol, and it was a great thing to see.
3. The 1st Hell In A Cell Match.
On October 5th 1997, the world was witness to a conceptual design that would go on to change the way we look at Pro Wrestling, gone were days of the standard Steel Cage Match to end rivalries, and in its place came the demonic structure known as Hell In A Cell. This would go on to became the major back end for any feuds and how they end, and the first one between HBK, and. The Undertaker established the blueprint for what was possible to do in a confined space, within the realms of a Pro Wrestling Match, if you haven't seen this Match, then you'll find that it still holds up to this day.
2. Cm Punks Pipebomb.
On the 27th of june 2011, the worlds frustrations that centred around WWE's handling of John Cena came to the forefront, as one mans words would go on to have reverbing effect that are still felt to this day, from calls to how the company would get run in the future, to breaking down the 4th wall of reality, this blew me away. This night was when the voice of the voiceless, became the voice of a generation.
1. Remembering Bray Wyatt.
This one is a personal one. ON the weekend of the first AEW All In at Wembley Stadium, just a few days before this, the world lost Windhum Rotunda in a shocking turn of events. The world didn't see this coming, as tributes rolled on, the episode of Smackdown that came just 24 hours later was layered with emotional tributes, from the likes of LA Knight, and Cody Rhodes, all of this was the perfect way to say goodbye to the man, that gave birth to the phrase catching flies. Fast Forward to the following Sunday, and AEW was pressenting it's debut on UK Shores. All In. The show was filled with Tributes from Black armbands being worn by all talent, and in-ring tributes sending the message that love will always be around in this industry that can be so unforgiving, but the moment that got to me was when I was waiting to get into the stadium, all you could hear over the pa system was Bray's recent entrance. This had people around me singing, and at that moment I knew I had made the right decision in my life to pursue writing as a career.
