AEW Dynamite Review 31.7.2025.

The Outrunners vs The Young Bucks Forbidden Door Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament.

This was a stripped back awesome affair. It was stripped back, because The Young Bucks are still getting completely mugged off. No entrance, and no dignity. You love to see it. I had fun watching this. The physicality was quick, and slick, and helped move things along. The Bucks got the win, and later on in the broadcast teased facing FTR ( again ). Also Can I please have more Stokeley Hathaway on my TV please. Swerve stopped Okada from beating down the best Tag Team in the game. Everything should be given to The Outrunners. 

Mark Briscoe Segment.

Just belt this man up already. Mark was fired up to face Ricochet later on, but he's more focused on MJF. Ricochet reminded him to get focused. I liked this. Renee Paquette here was great.

MJF Segment.

The Hurt Syndicate is slowly becoming The No Homers Club, by becoming the No Max's club. Max let this be a lesson to you. Don't buy cheap knock off Rolex's from Temu. More on Max later. Yeah. Shelton was pissed.

Christian Cage Segment.

I loved this. As the themes of Entitlement. Revenge. Death, and disownment played from Christians words. I couldn't help but think of the fact that he's a fascinating parasite. Yes he's an asshole, but he's a nice asshole, that at one time was obsessed with becoming a champion. He played out his dis pleasure of Moma Wayne, whilst talking through his history with Adam Copeland. The new Patriarchy then attacked Cage, by giving him a standing Steel Chair Concerto. This was great. I love Tony Schiavone.

Hangman Adam Page vs Jon Moxley AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

This was a majestic gold Match. From it's slow, and lethargic start, both men having a chopfest. Mox playing Skin games with Hangmans back. When this Match began. I struggled to get into this, and this was a shame, because the opening stages for any Championship Match are vital, when it comes to fan engagement, but these two managed to pull things around. We got Deadeye's on announcers tables. A flying Darby Allin, taking out The Deathriders from his very expensive Boxseats. Hangman kicking out of a belt shot from Mox, after it was brought into play from Marina Shafir. This gave birth to the final exchanges, allowing Hangman to get the win, after a Deadeye, and. Buckshot combo. Hangman would have a segment with MJF later on, and call him a coward. Mark Briscoe vs MJF vs Hangman Adam Page for Forbidden Door. yes please. This booking has a very high ceiling if this happens.

Athena And Billy Starkz vs Alex Windsor And Timeless Toni Storm.

This Match was a victim of it's circumstances. It needed more time to breathe. Do better AEW. Athena, and. Billy got the win, when Athena pinned Toni. This can be seen two ways. It's a good way of throwing fans, for when this Match happens. and the other way. It could overshadow what might becoming around the corner.

Willow Nightingale Segment.

Willow Nightingale will face Thekla on Collision this week. I might give this a watch. I won't be able to review because I have a lot still to do, but, yeah this sounds great.

Ricochet vs Mark Briscoe.

With their Stretcher Match from Double Or Nothing being in my list of favourite Matches this year, I had high hopes going into this Match, and they weren't met. Yes, this was a solid run through, with superb physicality. I've just seen these two have better Matches. Mark got the win with the Jay driver. The aftermath was excellent. Mark cut a promo calling out MJF, and needing help from his fallen family to help get him through this. Max showed up on the big screen, and told Mark in the most insulting way possible, that he will meet him next week for a Match, but that's if he makes it? This allowed Max to attack Mark from behind, because this was all a roose. The big question is now aimed at Hangman. Is Max a coward. Max beat Mark down, leaving Hangman to make the save as the show went off the air.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

I liked this weeks show. The run in going towards Forbidden Door is starting to shape, and it's looking quite exciting. It's now full steam ahead to London.

This Weeks AEW Dynamite is a very high 7/10.

 

 

 My Top UFC Fighters With The Worst Personality Traits.

Intro.

I like to think that when you meet someone, you can get a good look at what someone is like. From the good to the bad, we all see what we see. On the surface a person who you can call a friend might let you down. We all have traits that make us who we are, and this is what makes us differant.

5. Michael Bisping.

My country's stand out fighter who paved the path for others to walk down, is known to have a brash, and cocky side to his personality, this came to the forefront when he coached on both season 9, and. 14 of The Ultimate Fighter, when he was opposite Dan Henderson, and. Jason Mayhem Miller. The build to his fights, against the likes of Luke Rockhold, and. Anderson Silva, brought this into question. There's a reason why he wore the Most hated man in the UFC badge with pride, and that's because in my opinion, he bought into the toxicity of the fight way two much.

4. Ian Machado Garry.

I know what you guys are thinking, why is this Welterweight Stand out on this list, well it's due to how he left his former team. Team Renegade, and other MMA gyms, letting his own wife become his manager, and of cause there's the Neal Magny, and. Jeff Neal Controversies. Ian Machado Garry is a talented fighter, no doubt. This showed a flawed level of weakness. This type of behavior to some could look like a man trying to walk down his own path, but to many it looks big headed, but to me it just looks negative.

3. Paddy The Baddy Pimblett.

Paddy The Baddy is one of the most polverising figures in recent MMA memory. His fights are always must watch, and his last outing against Michael Chandler was something to behold, but when their is one blenish against his name. His rivalry with Ilia Toporia. His remarks against Ilia's homeland, that lead to the pair having a clashes on multiple occassions, hasn't endeared him with some fans. This isn't a good look. I feel it makes some people feel stupid, and sound entitled.

2. Anderson Silva.

Some have called The Spider arguably one of the best MMA fighters, pound for pound, to ever exist, and he does deserve that moniker, but he's failed drug tests, and disrespected his opponents, by acting lazy when it to interacting in the cage, he would do the bare minimal to engage with his opponent, which lead to the fans chanting boring. It got so bad that when he faced Damien Maia at UFC 112, Dana White walked out from the cage, handing the Middleweight Championship to his manager, and saying the words, here you put it on him. yeesh. No one likes a lazy fighter.

1. Colby Covington.

Were do I begin with this guy. There's his outright baffling political views, to his rivalries centering around disrespect, and being outright offensive. I mean what would you expect from the man who said, that if Dana White tries to put the belt on him, he'll take it out of his hands, and smack him over the head with it. Is Colby the definition of Satan?

 My Top 5 Insights From Monday Night Raw.

Intro.

Summerslam is one of my favourite PLE's of the year and this years look like one of best line ups in recent years. I have two lists coming out later this week, that will showcase my thoughts on the Matches that i'm looking forward to seeing, and giving my thoughts on why I love this event, so stay tuned.

5. Another Hulk Hogan Tribute.

I've said all that I have to say about Terry Bollea, so i'm going to make this brief. WWE are doing a good job not talking serious issues.

4. Jey Uso Segment.

This was a great way to start the show. Jey had his entrance encore cut short by Paul Heyman, both men had a fantastic Promo dual, that centred around the themes of love, lies, and Betrayal. Both men had a awesome bounce between them, and it was great to see.

3. AJ Styles And The Kabuki Warriors vs The Judgement Day.

I liked this. AJ Styles mixing it up with my favourite Womens Tag Teams at the moment, was awesome. Roxanne Perez had another solid showing here, and her partnership with Raquel Rodriguez is starting to grow on me. AJ and his new pals The Kabuki Warriors, got the win. Also Kairi is insane.

2. Becky Lynch Gets Owned By lyra Valkyria.

I cried laughing at this, because this had me howling with. I don't know about you guys, but I love Kendo Sticks.

1. Gunther And Cm Punk Segment.

This was a fantastic promo dual. Now this is more like it, after last weeks segment. I argued with my friends, that you don't need Punk and Gunther to have another segment, because their graphic is enough, oh how wrong was I, because was awesome, and it's left me buzzing for the PLE this Saturday.

 My Top 5 Insights From WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

5. My Thoughts On Hulk Hogans Passing.

I don't know what to think of this news. I didn't want to write a piece on Hogan so soon after his passing, because I was worried that it would look, and sound like a hit piece, so I thought it would be best to let things marinade for a few days, and all I have to say is this. As a child Hogan was one of my idols, a man who was a becon of light, in a world that wasn't always positive for me, due to my learning struggles. Hogan was a man of three halfs, and the odd thing is this. I only like one half. Half one. The industry changer. I was nine years old when he morphed into Hollywood Hogan, and changing the landscape of Pro Wrestling, for decades to come. This had a profound effect on me then, the same way that it would've done if I was the same age in the 1980's. Hogan oversaw two boom periods in his time. Half two. Backstage and beyond. His backstage politics escapades are the stuff of legend, and not for a good reason. He was known to march to beat of his own drum. The phrase. That doesn't work for me brother was code for someones push coming to an end, before it had even got started. This was the case for the likes of Jesse The Body Ventura, and. Bret The Hitman Hart. Unisation was needed in my opinion. The third half. Terry Bollea the man. I have a hard time talking about Terry Bollea. I don't condone racism in any form, and I find everything that has occompanied him over the past decade, to be something, that in my opinion, we all need to have conversations about, as his actions have had everlasting consequences. His apologies were seen as insincere, and see through. In order to be human, he should've acted human, and not just talked about getting caught. The rot kept running as he tried to ruin the life of one of his sons former friends, after the accident that saw his son serve prison time. Whilst Nick was in prison, audio got leaked, from when his dad paid him a visit, and to say that Hogan didn't know best was understatement. Nicks former friend was left with serious life altering injuries, and Hogan was more concerned with flipping the script, and making him an example in the worst way. So putting this in simple terms what do I think of Hulk Hogan. He was a man of worrying conviction, that has a tarnished legacy. He did some great things in this industry, but the overlooming shadow of the past 15 years, is something that me personally I won't forget, because we shouldn't. RIP Hulk Hogan. My thoughts are with your lived ones. WWE honoured him with a 6 bell salute, and a tribute video, that ignored his daughters existance, whilst not talking, about key untalkable issues, because in the mind of WWE, if we don't talk about it, then it never happened. I have a word for that. It's called ignorance. Sorry If I sounded brash. I just feel that these conversations need to be had.

4. JellyRoll Is The Man.

What isn't to like about this guy. From coming out Who's Your Daddy by Toby Keith, to him owning Logan Paul, by holding his own, and showing what a stand up guy he is. He and Randy Orton, facing off against Logan, and Drew was great. I love JellyRoll. People sound suprised when I say that I like Country music, but I do. Yes I'm a Metalhead, but i'm a countryhead as well.

3. Alexa Bliss vs Roxanne Perez.

Give me an A. Give me an L. Give me an E. Give me an X. Give me an A. Would do you get. Charlotte Flair looking weird with pom poms. Roxanne got the win, in what was a fun Match.

2. Chelsea Green Is A True Star.

Chelsea Green, needs to watch her mouth, because if she doesn't, Jade cargill might own her, oh wait she did. This impromptu Match was a lot of fun. Jade got the win, and was saved from a beat down, from her Summerslam opponent Tiffany Stratton. Over the past few days after Chelsea Green gave her thoughts on Hulk Hogans passing, whilst on an American early morning news show. She was then targetted with death threats, and other forms of bullying online. She didn't say anything wrong, so if your one of those people that sent her these awful messages, I ask you to just stop it. In order to be human, we have to act human. It's really not difficult.

1. Cody Rhodes Segment. 

It's a known fact, that i'm a big Cody Rhodes fan. I don't know why. I just love the man. He paid his respects to Hogan, and called out John Cena, stating that he wants the old Cena, that rallied around the words. Hustle. Loyalty, and. Respect, which could be rephrased as take your vitamins, and say your prayers. Cody came in for some critisism instantly after this segment.

 My Top 5 Moments From UFC Fight Night Abu Dhabi.

Apologies.

This weekend has been a busy one for me, so you guys are going to be getting a double from me this evening, with Smackdown coming later down the line. I will be stating my thoughts on the passing of Hulk Hogan, when that piece gets released later on tonight, so stay tuned guys.

5. Nikita Krylov Gets Owned.

This was very impressive, and a great way to kick off the main card. Bogdan Goskov is a beast, that has a very bright future, his win via knockout was a standout for knockout of the night. Light Heavyweights you've been warned.

4. Asu Almabayev Needs Time.

I have to be honest. I wasn't impressed with Almabayevs Performance. I thought this felt flat, as the rounds looked even. He got the win by decision, also full credit to his opponent Jose Ochoa for taking this fight on only six weeks notice, after his last fight in Azerbijan from mid June.

3. Shara Magomedov Is A Dangerous Man.

With the current state of russian, and Dagostanian fighters, currently residing in the UFC, they're proving to the world just why this sport is becoming one of the biggest in the world. Shara Magomedov is another shining light in the middleweight division. His win over Marc Andre Barriault, is another reminder that it doesn't matter were you come from, because no one should be counted out.

2. Has Petr Yans Time Passed.

I have a question for all of you. Has Petr Yans time passed? I thought his performance last night, was a bit predictable. Marcus Mcghee looked awesome in defeat, but that's this industry for you. I don't think that Petr Yan has another title run in him. I feel that that the division is starting to pass him by.

1. What Next For Robert Whittaker.

Reinier De riddier, beat. Robert Whittaker in what was the fight of the night, but I do have a question to ask. What's next for Robert Whittaker. I don't think that he has another run in him when it comes to the Middleweight Crown. If he had won last night, you could put him conversation to face Israel Adysana again, and with Sean Strickland facing an uncertain future, due to his own stupid actions. I don't know what Dana White, and. Sean Shelby have in store for the former champion. I think these times will be telling as the year enters its final months.

My 5 Moments In WWE History That I Wish I Could Unsee.

Intro.

Over it's vast tenure. World Wrestling Entertainment has ventured into the land of cringe on multiple ocassions, From Kurt Angle singing about cracking corn. Steve Austin, dumping Golddust in a porter loo, to Bobby Lashley loving his family, yeah these are all memories that we all wish we could all unsee, for the sake of our own sanity.

5. Big Show Dresses Up As Hulk Hogan.

This wasn't funny, it was just bad. You can clearly see that the WWF back in late April had no idea what to do with Paul wight. Wrestlemania 16 was now a thing of Pro Wrestling lore, and what we got at Backlash 2000, was pure stupidity. He did everything from his speech, all the way down to Hulking up, to embracing himself, and chokeslamming Kurt Angle. Yeah this was a thing. Please bare in mind this was written before his death yesterday.

4. Kid Rock On Monday Night Raw.

It was the year 2000, and Monday Night Raw was back at the top of the ratings lists. So how do you celebrate that little known fact, you have Kid Rock play The Undertaker down to the ring, this was when Mark Calloway was embracing his true persona, because as the tides of the Pro Wrestling had changed, he needed to change, so the WWF adapted to this movement. Part of this was updating his entrance music to suite the times. Nu Metal was at the peak of it's powers, as bands like korn and Limp Bizkit were shifting records faster than you could imagine. WWE asked if they could use Kid Rocks American Badass, he played Taker to the ring on a random Episode of Monday Night Raw from June of that year, and the whole thing was unbearable, from the sound, all the way to the clear edits to cut swears. this was just bad. The deal would only last for roughly seven months, and was then changed to Rollin by Limp Bizkit, in a move that would financially viable for the band.

3. May Young Gives Birth To A Hand.

It was Febuary 2000, and the run up Wrestlemania was starting to rev up. This came just before the No Way Out PPV, and yeah, this was a thing. The Relationship between Mark Henry, and. May Young was a thing of pure disgust due to the nature of the content, and just weeks later after they did the deed, and she gave birth, whilst her awful friend The Fabulous Moolah said that she was having a baby, when in fact she gave birth to a hand. Yes that's right you heard me, a hand. I'm going to go and have a lye down, because this wasn't good for me to talk about this.

2. Katie Vick.

This is by far the most complained about segment to ever air on WWE TV here in the UK. The WWF don't have the best of relations with Ofcom, especially when they were aired on Sky TV, their former broadcast partners for nearly thirty years. This still gets talked about today, and the only thing that I can say is this. Don't Google it.

1. Sable Vs Jaqueline Fully Loaded 1998 Bikini Contest.

All of this, given what we now know, is just unwatchable. I get that the year 1998 was the wild west for the WWF, but this is all bad, when you look at what came before, and after<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4963406231585175"

     

 

AEW Dynamite Review 24.7.2025.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne.

I could be right, I could be wrong It hurt so bad it's been so long. Ozzy has finally come home. On Tuesday 22nd of July. The world was saddened to hear of the death of one John Michael Osbourne, better known as Ozzy Osbourne. I've been a fan of this man for as long as I can remember, so yeah this one hurts. I know he wasn't in the best of health. But if this has taught me anything, it's this. You only have one shot in life to achieve what you want. Ozzy did just that, and as a result he was able to live out his dreams to the fullest effect. A wiseman once said. Who cares if one more light goes out, in a sky full of a million stars. Well I do. God Bless you Mr Tinkertrain. God Bless You Ozzy Osbourne. RIP Ozzy Osbourne. The 19th of June 2007 is a date that will live on in my mind forever.

Hangman Adam Page vs Wheeler Yuta

This was over way to quickly for my liking. But if i'm being honest it was his interactions with Renee Paquette, and MJF were more fascinating given what came down the line. This had great physicality, that was performed at a franetic pace from the start, but it was hangman who got the win with a Buckshot. This felt a bit predictable, but when you dig beneath the surface. It needed to be. 

Athena Armt Sgt.

I liked this. Athena would a great Army Sgt. Just saying. The way she ordered around Billy Starkz, felt like an army drill.

Tag Team Championship Tournament Match FTR vs Jetspeed.

I had a lot of fun watching this Match. The Physicality was solid, and it sold the Match perfectly, as it blended into the asthetic of the venue. FTR got the win, thanks to that glorious man Stokeley Hathaway. In keyfabe I now hate Adam Copeland after last week. Stokeley has been left on a crutch, this led to Stokeley coming out, and insulting Adam to the point where he came out, and set The Hurt Syndicate on FTR. He managed to get a deal with The Hurt syndicate, because he can't touch Stokeley. What a coward, oh and one other thing. Can I please have more Stokeley Hathaway on my TV please. MJF was pissed with this decision, which angered Lashley.

Nick Wayne Segment.

Nick Wayne has promised Danger on Collision. I'll get the more to share bag of Malteasers in.

Mox Vingnette.

Given what were going to get down the line on this episode. This was sensational.

Will Osperay Segment.

This had me feeling concerned, and worried. Will came out, and was interviewed by Tony Schiavone, and he laid out his problem for the world to see. He's got a neck injury. He thanked Swerve, and praised Hangman for capturing the championship, but given the help that AEW is willing to give him, he should be back in time for Forbidden Door at The 02. This was later confirmed by Dave Meltzer that Will is actually hurt, but when he comes back, it will be an eye for an eye, when it comes to the Deathriders. He embraced Swerve as both men stood at the top of the stage.

Julia Harts New Trio

I don't know what to think of these Ladies. It feels like Tony Khan has watched the film The Craft two many times.

Willow Nightingale Segment.

Willow Nightingale vs Thekla at a later point, oh go on then AEW if you must.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Billy Starkz.

I liked this. Billy Starkz had a great showcase here, because I think it acted like a fantastic audition peace for the future. Toni made her tap out with her Chicken wing finisher. Athena, and Billy snapped in the aftermath, taking out Aubrey Edwards, and attacking Toni. This feels to me like this is the direction to Forbidden Door for the Womens Championship.

Hechicero vs Swerve Strickland.

This Match got thrown out, when The Damn It Don Callis Family got Involved. The physicality was a bit flat, and the beat down from Okada to swerve felt predictable, but Don Callis doing his best Bruce Buffer inpersonation was funny.

Ricochet Segment.

Ricochet and GOA want Gold, because after Collision this week, they're well in the money. Just imagine what I could with  £4.0000 pounds.

MJF Segment And Mark Briscoe vs Claudio Castagnoli.

MJf Came out, and was in as a spiteful mood as ever, he talked about not needing Lashley, after what he said about Max earlier on in the broadcast, and as for Hangman, well he's going to beat him fairly, and not execute his contract. This brought out Mark Briscoe, and both men had a visceral affair of words, that came with the importance of cheap laughs, pops, and the balance of family. This was Max at his nastiest, and most sickening, and I wouldn't have it any other way. This was brilliant. Marks Match with Claudio Castagnoli followed this, and it was a solid blast, of slick manouvers, as it brought the show to an end. Mark got the win. This was when The Deathriders came out and attacked Mark. Mox then took to the mic, and called out Hangman Adam page, and what came next left me speechless. Hangman took the fans on a 3 minute blistering journey, that has left me feeling excited for next week. Hangman vs Mox one last time for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite. 

This was one of the best AEW Broadcasts this year, as it wreaked of promise, from the outset, to it's execution. I liked this show.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

 WWE Monday Night Raw Review 22.7.2025.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Becky lynch, Sami Zayn, who was wearing a rather awful Oasis t shirt. I hate Oasis, they've only ever made one good song. Metallica rule. The Judgement Day were also seen showing, when Dom was greated by there valet known as AJ. This would be a hilarious storyline thread as the show continued. AJ would make a great Janitor, and if that doesn't work out, then he could be a Dr. Oh the possibillities.

Cm Punk Segment.

I loved this. Punk came out to a great pop, as he basked in the fans adjulation. He said that he's done with distractions, because now he wants Gold, after he faced off the challenge of running the gauntlet last week, to become Gunthers next challenger, and said that he's not taking chances, to state his name as the Best In The World. Gunther then came out, and to say that these two were a study in contrast would be an understatement. Both men played the card of silence being Golden, as Gunther levied on the fact that both men have egos, and stating that punk will never be a World Champion.

Stephanie Vaquer Segment.

Stephanie Vaquer vs Naomi at a later date. Yes Please WWE. This looks like a good prospect for the future.

Rusev vs Sheamus.

I liked this. The Match counteracted as two big men, doing big men things. Rusev got the win, in what was a great TV Match.

The New Day vs The LWO vs American Made No1 Contendership For The Tag Team Championship.

This was a lot of fun to watch. The balance of this Match played out, was well worked, and the physicality of the Match was allowed to have time to breathe, as a result. The LWO got the win thanks to Ludwig Americano.

Iyo Skye Segment.

Iyo Skye vs Stephanie Vaquer. Yes Please WWE, oh wait they did it later on, and it was an interference led waste of time. The interactions that came beforehand were solid, that was until Chelsea Green and her Secret Hervice got the Match thrown out. Naomi came out attacked Iyo, leaving Rhea Ripley to come out and make the save. I know this looks out of place, I just thought that marrying this together would be a better thing to do when editorialising this piece.

Becky Lynch Segment And Lyra And Bayley vs Raquel Rodriguez WWE Womens Tag Team Championship.

I'm loving Becky Lynch as a heel. She never fails to make me laugh, just like the film Happy Gilmore. From delusion, the fans letting her know what they think of her, to Becky getting booed throughout this segment, she called out Lyra Valkyria, after she called her greedy, for being in the Tag Team Championship Match with Bayley that came after. Lyra came out, and Becky reiterated the same stipulation from their MITB Match, But Lyra raised the stakes, and said that she wants their Match at Summerslam to be a No DQ Match. Becky agreed to this with a Handshake, but Lyra wasn't falling for it, and she put Becky down with her own move The Man Handleslam. The Match that followed was another shenanigans led Predictable affair that was very watchable. Roxanne, and. Raquel retained their belts. 

Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross.

Big Kazza Kross, beat. Sami Zayn in what was a fun, but forgettable TV Match. I think that WWE have big plans for Kross down the Pipeline.

Dirty Dom Is Medically Cleared For Competition.

Adam Pearce looked like he was losing the patience to live at this point with The Dirty one, that was until he attacked Pearce, and said that he will see AJ at Summerslam.

Roman Reigns Segment.

Paul Heyman came out, with his new crew, and wanted to get some things off his chest, but this was when Roman came out, as the chants of asshole, and OTC were labelled at both men, this would act as the ark of the story. Roman levied the truth at Pauls door, after he had rebuffed pauls offer to join his crew due to Seth's injury. This segment focused on four main points. The future. The past. Betrayal, and, the balance of family. Roman put forward the case for the fact that the fans had put him were he is, whilst his family built him up, which was something that paul had nothing to do with. Paul is now not a wiseman, he's a Dumbass. Bron then took to the mic, as this promo entered it's final stage. The future. He's the future, and roman is the past. He told Roman to leave his ring. This was when hit Bron him with a superman Punch, and went for Big Bronson Reed. Bron then got the upperhand on Roman when he gave him a sphere, this allowed Jey Uso to come out and make the save. I loved this segment. I know that this has divided some fans online, but I think that it was great when you dig beneath the surface, and take a look at what could come from it.

My Top 5 Moments From This Weeks AEW Collision.

Intro.

AEW is starting to carve out it's own legacy, when it comes to their Summer runs, from builds to PPV's. Residentcies, and a trip to my country of England. This is how you make a mark, in a territory that once was considered a distant land when it  comes to hosting Pro Wrestling shows. I fully expect ITV to expand their deal to show all AEW Programming over here, because it has acted like a superb launch pad. And with Forbidden Door at the 02 just around the corner. Now has never been a better time to take a look at what the company can offer.

5 Dustin Rhodes.

This man has the spirit of Texas, and the heart of his family, running through his blood, and it was evidently clear here, as our new TNT Champion opened the show, and his passion, fire, and grace was etched all over this segment. From giving the fans words to live by, that can be used as advice in our everyday life. The man has made his mistakes, but with every mistake you make in life, there's always a triumph, and winning the TNT Championship is a triumph. His interactions with Kyle Fletcher, and. Don Callis acted like a nice tease for what could be coming down the line. I liked this.

4. Ricochet vs AR Fox.

This was solid. Ricochet, beat AR Fox in what a great TV Match. Both men have incredible movesets, that were added in with excellent physicality, and brilliant counteractions. I liked this. Ah Haaaaaaaaa.

3. Colt Cabana On Commentary.

Colt Cabana, was on commentary just minding his own business, and then he got taken out by The Deathriders, on the orders of The Peaky Punkers. This segment that saw him get choked out in a mirror image from how Moxley dropped the belt was excellent.

2. Megan Bayne Scares Me.

I watch a lot of Football Youtubers, and the one phrase. Scares me, is something that gets said a lot, normally it gets given to either Liverpool, or my beloved Arsenal, but it doesn't correspond all the time with Pro Wrestling. I think it should, when we look at someone like Megan Bayne. She's simply awesome, and her running powerbomb looks like one of the coolest moves in Pro Wrestling at the moment, and her Match her against Tai Melo was a fascinating sight into how styles can be a study in contrast. She put Tai away with that awesome said move.

1. Athena And Toni Storm.

Were do I begin with this. Maybe I should start with Athena, doing her best Mercedes Mone impersonation, or maybe I should start with Toni Storm bringing up the fact that Billy Starks hasn't faced puberty, to both ladies wanting to hunt each other down, catch them if you can. I laughed my ass off watching this.

My Top 5 Moments From UFC 318.

Intro.

As the Summer continues, we start to reflect as fans. Just last night we said goodbye to Dustin The Diamond poirer who retired from the UFC, after a career that has spanned over 15 years. As a fan who has watched MMA for nearly 20 years, I can honestly say that No other fighter had left me feeling excited about a card. He gave his heart, and soul to an industry that can be very unforgiving. This isn't just something that has been said by me, this is going around the MMA community. Thank Mr Diamond, your story will always be inspirational, as the picture perfect send off you deserve, will be something that will stick in fans minds for a longtime, proving that if you want something bad enough in life, you have to do things your way, and remember we're all everymen.

5. The Triumphs Of New Orleans.

New Orleans is a state, that over time has faced its own hardship, from the people that were born there, and their everyday Struggles, that we can all relate to. And overfacing the effects of hurricane Katrina, and showing the world what the term Orleans strong means. Dustin is the living embodiment achieving your dreams, and to do against a backdrop, that has been through the rings of change. New Orleans is a fighting state, as their spirit will always be infectious from a fans point of view.

4. Michael Johnson Is A Beast.

This Fight was a stagnant reminder of how fights can take a while to get started, but when they do. You could be in for a treat. This was the case with this fight. Daniel Zellhuber may have shown a decent ground game, but this fight was won on the feet, with Johnson's superior boxing. Michael Johnson got the win by decision, in what was a very fraught, and cagey affair, that proved to be a fantastic opener.

3. Give This Guy The Greenlight.

With his fight against Yair Rodriguez from UFC 314, not being remered well by fans, and being looked at as a joke by hardcore fans, this was the homecoming of Patricio Pitbull. He beat Dan Ige in what was a great fight, that showcased both mens skill sets. Both men looked fantastic, as this is a clear look at where the Featherweight Division could be heading.

2. Kevin Holland Takes His First Loss At Welterweight.

The real sign of a fighter is how they take a defeat. Kevin Holland lost to Daniel Rodriguez to in what was a great set up for the rest of the evening. Both men had a strong contender for the fight of the night, with both men having a minor war. I have never seen KH get knocked down, until last night that. Daniel Rodriguez, met KH's offence with solid hands. KH put forward his form of striking, that very nearly got him the win, but on this night it wasn't to be.

1. Goodbye Mr Poirer.

What a fight. As I sit here writing this on a Sunday evening. I'm conflicted with my thoughts, on one hand I'm thinking. If you're going out, then it's best to go out swinging, with the knowledge that you know you've, put your opponent through hell, and the on the other. A win would be a good way to say goodbye to the fans, and leave them with a solid memory. Dustin Poirer Managed to do one of these things in defeat. He May have lost to Max Holloway, as the pair have put an end to their trilogy, but when you think about it, he's a winner in life, he got to achieve his dreams on a global level, whilst putting his opponents through one hell of a showing on multiple ocasions. Now that's what you call heart.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 19.7.2025.

Intro.

This one of my favourite times of year to be a WWE fan, there's just something special about WWE in the summertime, and I can't quite put my finger on why. I know that this is just my opinion,  but I do love the build to Summerslam, as it's one of my favourite events on the  Pro wrestling calender.

Who Dunnit.

This was a case of WWE does Diagnosis murder, because we opened up on a who dunnit, who tried to kill Solo Sikoa's crew. Adam Pearce, who was stepping in for Nick Aldis, was then taken away by Cody Rhodes. This would be a running theme through out the show.

Charlotte Flair vs Raquel Rodriguez.

This was an entertaining fun Match. I enjoyed this. From the promise of Perez vs Bliss, to Charlotte and Raquel having good chemistry. This was a solid run through, that worked to continue Flair, and. bliss's can they coexist dynamic. Flair got the win, thanks to her mate Alexa.

 Damien Priest vs Carmelo Hayes.

Am I the only person who thinks that Damien Priest, and. Alestair Black, sholud be a tag team? oh just me then, oh well. He decked both Priest, and Hayes, and got their Match thrown out. The Match however had some fantastic moments of great back and fourth action.

The Wyatts Sic.

The Wyatt Sic, delivered a cryptic message to The Street Profits, which they answered back later on.

Solo Sikoa Crew.

I liked this. As the chants of WHAT, and. OTC echoed throughout the arena. Solo proceeded to throw Jacob under the storyline bus, he called him selfish, whilst bringing up his real life term in prison. This was when the Feds showed, after having released Jacob, this meant that he was now on a warpath, and oh my did he want revenge.  With the help of Big Jim Uso, they took out Solo's faction. I loved it when Tala Loa no sold getting slammed over the announcers table. Big jim helped Jacob batter JC, and Tonga, and this when Adam Pearce then came out, and said that at Summerslam Solo Sikoa will defend his United States Championship in a Steel Cage Match. This was excellent, it managed to pull the gravitas of the story, and make it feel real.

JellyRoll Is The Man.

I don't know if anyone here in the UK has seen this, but WWE taking over Jimmy Kimmel live was classic. It's always great when Logan Paul gets what he deserves. This had me feeling Higher Than Heaven. Also Drew, and. Randy having a gladiators fight was also funny.

Stephanie Vaquer vs Alba Fyre.

Stephanie Vaquer, beat. Alba Fyre in what was a flat TV Match, that offered up absolutely nothing.

 Fatal 4 Way For The No1 Contendership For The WWE Tag Team Championships.

I have to admit it. I liked this. I don't normally like Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Matches. They normally fall short of my expectations, but this one was a lot of fun. Andrade, and. Rey Fenix, beat. Fraxiom. The Motorcity Machine Gunns, and. DIY, and will now face The wyatt Sic next week, for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

Cody Rhodes And John Cena Contract Signing.

Adam Pearce oversaw the proceedings. Cody signs the contract, whilst basking in the adjulation of the fans, he spoke about the oversight of his activities on Social Media this week, whilst stating that he flinched when he lost to Cena at Mania, to me this wasn't a flinch it was a blink. John came out, and played the victim of circumstance roll perfectly, as he said that he couldn't face Cody at Summerslam due to filming commitments. The split film image was used here to great effect. John walked out, and this pissed Cody off who then went and attacked John. Cody blasted John with the Championship, forged his signature, and then told him, that there Match at Summerslam for the WWE Championship will be a Street Fight. This was an excellent way to end the show, lets just hope that this Match delivers, because I defended their Mania Match, and I was left wishing that I hadn't.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

This Broadcast was a blast to sit through, and I had a lot of fun watching, because their was very little to not like in my opinion. The in-ring action, and Promos were on the same level, more of this please WWE.

This weeks WWE Friday Night Smackdown is a high 7/10.

 AEW Dynamite Review 17.7.2025.

Intro.

With the high trajectory that AEW has been riding at the moment. It was important that the Jacksonville outlet, had a fantastic night on Saturday. With that achieved, their momentum must continue as fobidden Door looms around the PPV corner. Now is the time for AEW to not rest on their lorals, now is the time to strike, so they can really leave their impact, as the year enters the final months.

Tony Schiavone Interviews Hangman Adam Page.

This was fantastic, and a superb way to start the show. Tears, and emotion were seen to nearly be running down Hangmans face, as the fans chanted. You Deserve It, and. Thank you Hangman. Adam spoke about how the company was built on DIY roots, and how the fans helped create this revolution in Pro Wrestling. He thanked the competitors who gave everything in order to stop The Deathriders, whilst talking about the importance of family, because he's Hangman Adam Page, and he's the f****** champ. This felt visceral, important, and also unnerving, because I get the feeling that Hangman might be the victim of becoming a transitional champion. The tease of him facing Osperay again is very teasing, and exciting to me.

The Young Bucks Slumming It.

Taxi for Matt, and. Nicholas. So no Limo then lads. The Young Bucks Slumming It, you love to see it. This was a funny minor thread, as. Renne Paquette. Ricochet, and Damn It Don Callis, all got their licks in. Don braught up the fact that Okada may have killed kenny Omega, which got me thinking when he said the words Kenny's dead. He's a fan of the South Park Album Chef Aid.

MJF And The Hurt Syndicate.

MJF said that he will beat Hangman clean, whilst MVP still wants Tag teams to step up to The Hurt Syndicate. This was filmed after All In on Saturday, which explains why MVP sounded just like me the other week, when I got home from seeing Linkin Park at Wembley Stadium. His voice was beyond raspy.

8 Man Tag Match.

Hechicero. Josh Alexander, and. The Young Bucks, beat. Jetspeed. Bandido, and. Brody King, in what was a solid physical encounter. The Bucks got mugged off good and proper here. No Backscreen, and. No Theme music, to Justin Roberts laughing at them. Once again. You love to see it.

Adam Copeland Segment.

I liked this. The fans were on great voice here, as they welcomed Cope back. The themes of jealousy, and betrayal came to light when he spoke about his past, to pressent day with Christian cage, but his true intentions is to end FTR. From Adam pulling back the curtain, and talking from an honest place, this was excellent, and his dual with that glorious man Stokeley Hathaway, was great. Stokeley said if Adam goes near FTR he would be fired from AEW, so Adam took it upon himself to attack a glorious man, as the security showed what they are. Cowards. I had a blast watching this.

Mark Briscoe Segment.

I'm not a religous man, but I do need to say this. Mark Briscoe god bless you sir.

Thekla vs Queen Aminata vs Kris Statlander vs Willow Nightingale 1.0000 4 Way.

Thekla, beat. Queen Aminata. Kris Statlander, and. Willow Nightingale, to become completely loaded, with the help of Skye Blue, and. Julia Hart. This Match was a lot of fun. From Aminata helping Willow get a bit ass faced. Thekla giving herself a good showing, and Nightingale, and. Statlander reigniting their feud. This was great.

Timeless Toni Storm Victory Speech.

This was a complete blast. From Toni pressenting herself as the sexual classy lady that she is, to her thanking Mercedes Mone, by saying that she did what she said she was going to do, and eat Mercedes alive, if she made a mistake at All In, and she did. She said that Luther is injured. I know what you're all thinking. Doing the Danny Larusso Crane Kick, can be lethal. Athena, and Billy Starks then showed up on the big screen, and. Athena laid all her options for when she might cash in her Gauntlet contract. Toni then laid bare what she is sexually, and said she's Timeless. I liked this.

The Patriarchy Segment.

Nick Wayne, and. Kip Sabian, told the world why they put Christian cage out to pastures, whilst Moma Wayne acted like a tease, ooh Moma Wayne you so naughty.

Kazuchika Okada Wrecks A Local Jobber.

I didn't catch the name of the guy that Okada destroyed, but I loved it when he called out Swerve Strickland in the aftermath, because he wasn't happy with what happened on Saturday. Swerve then came out, and flipped the script, and said. Yeah, me and. Osperay beat them, and what Bitch. Also Damn It Don Callis acting like Bruce Buffer was funny.

The Deathriders vs Hangman Adam Page. Powerhouse Hobbs, And Mark Briscoe.

Even though this did have some solid bursts of energy from all involved. It also felt very subdued at the same time. This was a differant DeathRiders, and they need to be. This became the main story of the Match, as the final stages came to a close the Match became a complete over delivery, as Hangman got the win for his team, and was beaten down in the aftermath by Mox and his crew, this was when the figure that is Darby Allin showed up, and became the difference maker, as the show went off the air.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

In the way of how fall out shows go in Pro Wrestling, this didn't feel like a fall out show, and it didn't feel like a reset, what we got here was a continuation of what had already played out, some might think this could be a mis-step, to me I think some fans need to let this play out.

This Weeks Dynamite is a solid 7/10.

 My Top Womens Matches in WWE History.

Please bare in mind that this was written before WWE Evolution.

Intro.

This Sunday Night will be the real definition of Ladies Night. With the build to Evolution 2 being at a poor level. This has got me thinking. What are the best Womens Matches to ever take place under the WWE banner. This has lead me down several rabit holes, so lets take a look at how the Matches and competitors, have changed this industry for the better.

5. Sable vs Jaqueline.

This was used as an storyline book end, and it worked well when it happened at Survivor Series 1998. I get that the bikini contest that they had a Fully Loaded In Your House 1998, doesn't hold up by todays standards ( For obvious reasons ). But the Match they had was excellent, and it created the blueprint for what was to come down the line, just a few years later. But it's aftermath was even more fascinating, because just two months later Sable was gone from the then WWF, stating an unsafe workplace, and claims of sexual harressment, being her reasons for leaving. She would go on to sue the company.

4. Bayley vs Sasha Banks NXT Takeover Brooklyn.

Recently I watched the footage on Youtube when HHH told both ladies they were  main eventing the show, and I think this galvanised both ladies to deliver, and they did, because this was a fascinating stark look into how longterm booking becomes a true reality. This Match is a must watch for any young girl who's looking to get into this industry, as it became the modern day answer to a blueprint being portrayed on a worldwide level. It's no secret that i've been a fan of both ladies work for many years, and it was great to see these two carve out their own careers in this sport.

3. Sasha Banks vs Charlotte Flair Falls Count Anywhere Match.

This Match is how you teach lessons in complete unpredictability. On the 28th of November 2016 edition of Monday Night Raw, Flair, and. Banks put an end to their feud in what has been called one of the best Falls Count Anywhere Matches in WWE's recent years, and when I was watching it back for this list, you can see why. Both ladies managed to carve out a fantastic story. I might not be the biggest fan of Charlotte Flairs these days, but it doesn't change the fact she's a phenomanal talent, that has become this decades answer to Trish Stratus, when it comes to in ring ethic.

2. Asuka vs Charlotte Flair Wrestlemania 33.

I don't think this Match gets the plaudits that it deserves. Ronda Rousey's debut may have stole the headlines, but this Match to me stole the show. If you think back to Mania 3. The same thing could have been said, when comparing Savage vs Steamboat, and. Hogan vs Andre. Both Matches were a study in contrast, when both played out in real time. But it was the first ones on this ocasion that I hold up in higher regard.

1 Trish Stratus vs Lita.

This took place on the 6th of December 2004 edition of Monday Night Raw. Two women main eventing WWE's main flagship. This was seen as something that had to be seen, to be believed. This at the time was history being played out on a worldwide scale. Both ladies put on show, in order to end a show. Both ladies have spoken about this over the years, and to say that they were honoured, and filled with pride is overused understatement, that will live on in their memories.

My Top 5 Moments From Monday Night Raw.

Intro

As the year marches on into the Summer Season. WWE's flagship red brand continues to keep marking it's line in the sand, by giving us fans good stuff to get our teeth into, and this weeks show was no differant. The focus from this past weekend is something that was carried throughout this broadcast, as the women gave themselves some good showings, sending a clear message to HHH, give us some better creative, as the men were left scrambling to try and match what the women had done the night before.

5. Naomi Segment.

Our new WWE Womens Champion opened up the show in the only way that she knew how, putting shade on both Bianca Belair, and Jade Cargill, which proves the point that betrayal can get you gold. This angered Mami, and Rhea was quick to tell the cautioness one that she's made her list, and just like that Rhea became the female version of Chris Jericho. Iyo Skye then said her piece. Naomi told the pair to get to the back of the line. Adam Pearce by this point came out and Welcomed Naomi to Monday Night Raw, and then told us that Summerslam it will be Naomi vs Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Skye for the Womens Championship At Summerslam. I liked this. The idea of this Match has me very excited.

4. AJ Styles Needs Help.

I'm convinced that my guy AJ Styles is a Marieh Carey fan, because he's obsessed with Dominik Mysterio. I hear that AJ likes the song Obsessed.

3. Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match.

I loved this. The winner of the Match will face Becky lynch at Summerslam. This was superb, both worked an absolute stomper of a TV Match, that played the mental guessing game of chess perfectly, the Match was levelled at 1 fall a piece, and the final exchanges saw Lyra get the win with her Nightwing finisher. She then had a face off against Becky who was cosplaying as the kid from IT, all she needed was a red balloon.

2. Nikki Bella Is Back.

I'm glad to see that Nikki Bella is back, she's had a rough time of late, and it's great to see her back in a WWE ring, she beat Chelsea Green in her first singles Match back.

1. Gunther Segment And The Gauntlet Match.

Gunthers segment was what I expected, only with the edition of Paul Heyman, bringing things back up to speed. Heyman put over Bron Breakker, as the face of WWE's future, because he's The Next Big Thing. The Big Dog, and Gunther is in his yard. And Bron is going to win because he's a Steiner. And you know what that means, he's got 5+7-20%6 chance of getting the job done. The Gauntlet saw Bron, beat. Penta. LA Knight. Jey Uso, before falling to Cm Punk. Punk will now face Gunther at Summerslam, the Gauntlet was a lot of fun, from Jey coming out to help Punk. Bronson Reed being a pain at ringside, and of course the Return of Roman Reigns to end the show. Roman came out to stop the beat down, and once The Brons had left the ring, he helped his cousin back up to his feet, this going to lead to the rumoured Tag Team Match at Summerslam against The Brons.

  

My Top 5 Insights From WWE Evolution.

Apologies ( again )

You guys know me. I hate doing these apologies, but due to the fgact that this weekend went like a blur, from working on this blog, to my day, to WWE playing the game of being children. I was unable to do a full review of Evolution, but given the fact that this is my passion, and I want to be able to give you guys my best, no matter how tired I am, so here goes nothing.

5. Katy Perry's Rise Is The Theme Of The Show.

I don't get this. The Song kicks in with the theme of empowerment, but Katy Perry's actions in recent years hasn't equaled this. Her support of Dr Luke, a man who has multiple alligations surrounding sexual assault against him, kind of makes this message fall flat. I get that Dr Luke didn't have anything to do with the production of this track. I just don't think it's not a good idea to use this song, given the fact that it's message feels forced, due to Perry's past connections.

4. Dodgy Production Tricks.

This looked Bad. WWE did a bad job to hide those empty seats. It's no secret that this show has under performed at the box office for WWE, This but this was bad. For the past two years AEW came under a lot of flack from WWE fans due to their run of bad luck, when it came to their attendences, so seeing this sight, to me is a reminder that fans in glass houses should'nt throw stones.

3. Triple Threat Match For The Womens Intercontinental Championship Becky Lynch vs Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria.

This was a very even affair, as all three ladies got to have their own energetic bursts, which allowed for the physicality to become the main attraction. Becky retained after a fantastic final series of exchanges.

2. WWE Womens Tag Team Championship Alexa Bliss And Charlotte Flair vs Roxanne Perez And Raquel Rodriguez vs The Kabuki Warriors vs Zaria And Sol Ruca.

This Match had no right to be as awesome as it was, and it was great. This Match was solid, everyone involved got their moves in, as this allowed the stars to shine, whilst giving the future room to breathe. Sol Ruca, and Zaria need to be on the main roster and soon. Raquel got the win for her team, when she gave Ruca, a tahana bomb.

Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Skye WWE Womens Championship.

This Match played out like the thriller movie genre, as the themes of mindgames, and respect were played out to gratifying effects, as the chants of womens wrestling echoed throughout Atlanta. These two showed why this genre is more important now, more than ever. This had moments that echoed in sound, like Iyo launching herself off from some sound equipment with a crossbody, to Rhea Powerbombing onto the naked floor. It was this final set of exchanges that saw the shocking conclusion, as Naomi took her chance, as she cashed in her Money In The Bank Briefcase to become the new WWE Womens Champion. I liked this, as it offers up several directions that WWE could venture down.

AEW All In Texas 2025 Review.

Apologies.

I have to start this review of with an apology, because this was due to be out in the early hours of this morning. But given the fact that the show ran  for just over 6-hours, and I had an entire day ahead of me in my day job to do in a matter of hours after the show had finished, this made getting the review done in that time, an impossible task, so i've sat down at my chromebook, at 7.30 in the evening to write it. So sit back and enjoy.

Wheeler Yuta. Claudio Castagnoli And Gabe Kidd vs The Opps AEW Trios Championship.

This was a Match that was centred around having a solid base from the start, but that's it, the Match suffered from not having a lot substance, put if you isolate that, it did have moments like Hobbs cleaning out Wheeler Yuta. A narly looking triple suplex, to Yuta eating a Muscle buster from Joe for the retention. Claudio then crushed Joe's larix, with a steelchair in the aftermath. If i'm being honest this was way too long. This would be a thread that would run throughout the broadcast.

Mens Casino Gauntlet Match.

MJF won the Gauntlet Match, at first I thought that this would be quite predictable, but I've never been more happy to be wrong, because this was a thoroughly entertaining romp, that was well paced, that gave room for the intertwining storylines within the Match to have time to breathe. MJF and Mark Briscoe. Anthony Bowens, and. Max Castor. MJF, and. Mistico, and. Bandido, and. Konosuke Takeshista, all benefitted from this, and the return of a clean shaven Juice Robinson, getting back together with his former team,  The Gunns, just made for a sense of things getting back to normal. I liked this.

TNT Championship 4 Way.

This was a change to the scheduled Match, because Adam Cole was deamed as not medically cleared. Adam Cole came out, and said to the fans, that he's not going to be competing for the forseable future for health reasons, meaning that he's got to vacate the belt. This didn't feel like a standard relinquishing of the belt. I actually felt worried for Adam, but if he he's got to go away to take care of himself, then that should come above any wrestling Match. His Paragon Brothers Kyle O'reilly, and Roderick Strong walked him up the ramp, when he had a word with Daniel Garcia, as the 4 way got underway. Dustin Rhodes, beat. Sammy Guervara. Daniel Garcia, and. Kyle Fletcher, to become the new TNT Champion. I thought that this was a nice thing to do, given the fact that Dustin is from Texas, but it didn't change the fact that the fans were emotionally spent from the announcement that came beforehand. The Match was a standard affair, and that I couldn't get into 1st gear with. It's nothing against the Competitors. This just wasn't for me. The sight of Dustin celebrating with his family, was a nice scene.

Will Osperay And Swerve Strickland vs The Young Bucks.

This is my match of the year so far. From the entrances looking like a finely dreseed videogame, that had been curated by Stanley Kubrick, to Jojo Offerman singing Swerve out to the ring. A certain man who used to love to Catch fly's is looking down from heaven a proud man when this happened. We miss you Bray. This was a quick paced running blast of a Match, that was centred around the story of can Will and Swerve coexist, which became the overarching theme of the Match. The physicality gave room for the Match to breathe. Going into this I knew it would have a high ceiling. I didn't realise that these four man would smash right through it, and break my expectations, and create one of the best Tag Team Matches that I have ever seen. The exchanges were performed at a frantic pace, whilst the near falls added a sense of drama to the proceedings. Swerve and Osperay got the win, after they hit a hidden blade, and last call Combo, and therefore releasing The Young Bucks from their E.V.P duties. This was simply stunning.

Womens Casino Gauntlet Match.

I wasn't a fan of this Match. Look Don't get me wrong I like Athena, and she's a more than deserving winner. I just don't think that this suited her, because the fabric of this Match became unwoven very quickly. This Match had no substance to it. The ladies interferences from Anna Jay. Harley Cameron, and. Skye Blue, all fell flat. This fell below the standards that it had set for itself.

AEW Tag Team Championships. The Hurt Syndicate vs Jetspeed vs The Patriarchy.

This Match was a victim of its own circumstance. The build was poor, and unfortunately the Match followed that pattern. The Hurt Syndicate got the retention, and Christian Cage got battered by his own son in the aftermath, as FTR who were on commentary just watched on, as Momma Wayne started thinking, that this is better than a divorce. This caused Adam Copeland to return, to help his former friend, and tell him to find himself. The aftermath was ace, but the Match was sub standard.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Mercedes Mone AEW Womens Championship.

This was a superb reminder, that theatre, can mesh with cinema. Both ladies entrances played to this tune perfectly. The theatre was Mercedes Mone paying tribute to Eddie Guererro with her entrance, and. the cinema. Timeless Toni Storm becoming the star of her own movie, and. Luther doing his best Danny Larusso impersonation. This was a physical masterclass performed through the looking glass of two absolute pros. The minor breaths of insensity, gave this Match the room that it needed to grow. Toni retained after a fantastic series of exchanges between both ladies, that avalanche Storm zero looked sickening, but cool.

Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega Unified AEW Championship.

This is what happens when legend gives way to light. I loved this, from Kenny's entrance, to both men having a stair down. It was a battle of the master of lofi, meeting the master of selling. Yes it came with the tropes of the standard North American route for Pro Wrestling booking, but is this something that is on the level of their previous four matches, well if i'm being honest no, but is this something that should be taught in wrestling schools on a global level. Yes. The ark of age has caught up with both men since the last time they faced each other seven years ago, and the struggling aspects that has surrounded Kenny's health made this encounter endearing, as Okada's arrogance grew. This led to him getting the win after a stunning chain of sequences. This is another Match of the year contender.

Jon Moxley vs Hangman Adam Page Texas Death Match AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

Some people have said a lot about this Match, some thought it was too violent, some said it was too bloody, and to that I say this. It needed to be, this wasn't just a cathartic end to a poorly received storyline, this was the end to two years of storytelling, that has taken all fans for a ride, for good and bad reasons, as the cameos from the likes of Will Osperay. Swerve Strickland and, Prince Nana. The return of Darby Allin, and the suprise that was Bryan Danielson popping up, added drama to this brutal drama in savage fashion, as The Deathriders could only watch on, after they were taken out. I was hooked as the weapon spots became more intense, and the violence led to one of the most satisfying finales in recent Pro wrestling history. Hangman Adam Page is our new AEW World Heavyweight Champion, and it's glorious. The sight of Hangman undoing the briefcase, and retrieving his prize, is something that I won't forget in a hurry. As the fireworks went off into the night, you can only wonder what is around the corner for Tony's little promotion that can?

Overview of AEW All In Texas 2025.

This PPV was an over blown joy, that had it's issues, but overall This was a show that delivered, despite it's overlong time run.

AEW All In Texas 2025 is a high 9/10.

 

My top 5 AEW All In Moments.

Intro.

As the capatylst market for Pro Wrestling became swallowed up in the late 2010's by He Who Shall Not Be Named, their was burning hunger for something new, as the decade carried into it's late years. TNA wasn't in the best place, and the NWA was pretty much nonexistant, and the market leader WWE, was having it's own issues, from low ticket sales, and TV ratings, this when four visionary men took it upon themselves to shake up the system, and what came next would act as a high stake for how to do things with a DIY mentality. This was when the world became All Elite.

5. MJF vs Adam Cole.

AEW in 2023 was in a steady, and exciting place, when it came to how it was received here in the UK. Tony Khan. Adam Cole, and. Nigel Mcguiness all did a promo video announcing that AEW would be heading to Wembley Stadium, for it's first trip to the UK. My excitement levels went through the roof, from booking the ticket, all the way to the build. I get the build wasn't great, but as a whole it didn't waver my excitement, because when Tony Khan did this first attempt at the spinning plate trick, things didn't go well, but this did. The Match was a fantastic run through, of something that was red hot within the company. I had a blast watching this, and the image of Tony Khan standing with both men at the end to some might look like the death of Keyfabe, but to me it was a sobering reminder, that if you get the chance to celebrate your achievements in life, then go for it, because you only live once.

4. Watching Cm Punk Wrestle.

I have been a fan of this man for years, and had never seen him perform, that was until the first All In, when he ran back his famous rivalry with Samoa Joe. The Match was the best 3 star Match that Dave Meltzer has ever seen, now Something happened after this, but I can't think what. It think it might have been life threatening, and yes it did make me cry a river

3. Will Osperay.

It can be argued that over the past two events Will Osperay has stolen the show, his Match against Chris Jericho may not have lit the world on fire, but his encounter against MJF from last year was my Match of the year. The Day beforehand I almost met Will at the AEW fan meet and greet at the Wembley Boxpark, and just seeing how this man interacts with fans was something special. A great talent, and a great man, and he deserves all the success in the world.

2. Bryan Danielson Wins AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

This was something special, and I still can't believe that I was in attendence for to see this. If Danielson lost then he would have to retire, he beat Swerve Strickland in what some people called the best Match on the card, but for me it's the build that packed the emotional punch, as the song Good Riddance Time Of Your Life played into the night, the thought of what Tony Khan has created lingered in my mind.

1. RIP Bray.

On the 24th of August 2023, we lost Windham Lawrence Rotunda, better known as Bray Wyatt, after a short illness, this would send shockwaves throughout the industry, that were felt in his home of WWE, and in the competition. In ring tributes were paid from the likes of Britt Baker. Ftr, and The Young Bucks, who all wore Black armbands, and The House Of Black used lanterns to show their solidarity, but what got me was when I was entering into the stadium, Brays entrance music played out over the pa System. This had me in tears, and it should act as a reminder to tell the people in your life, that your glad to know them, and you appreciate their support.

AEW Dynamite Review 10.7.2025.

Mercedes Mone And Timeless Toni Storm Face To Face.

I loved this segment. Was it a civilised conversation, no, what this segment acted like was a laid bare back and forth with fantastic groundwork, as the overriding arch themes of not being ordinary played out to the masses. No notes this was perfect.

Jon Moxley Segment.

This was excellent. Hangman must prove himself this Saturday At All In. I liked all of this.

Bandido And Brody King vs Kyle Fletcher And Konosuke Takeshista.

As the way that go home Matches go, before major PPV's go this delivered, and it was great to watch. The Matches within the Match were a fascinating thing, as the high flying action became the main attraction. Konosuke got the win for his team. I liked this.

FTR And The Patriarchy Segment.

Four of my faves were in this segment, this makes this show an instant 5 stars in my opinion. Come fight me Dave. And one other thing, can I have more Stokeley on my TV please.

Ricochet vs Blake Christian.

Ricochet, beat. Blake Christian in a no notes, predictable TV Match. I didn't like this.

MJF And Mark Briscoe Have A Talky Talk.

This was another, no notes perfect segment to me, from the family insults. Mark calling Max Morally Bankrupt, to Max doing his best version of the Feeny dance from Boy Meets World. I could've done without Jetspeed, and. The Patriarchy attacking The Hurt Syndicate, but overall this was a perfect segment.

Megan Bayne vs Queen Aminata vs Thekla vs Tai Melo.

Megan Bayne, got the win, and has now taken the second spot in the womens Battle Royal this Saturday at All In. Did you see that running Powerbomb from Bayne to Aminata, man that looked sick.

Respect To Texas.

I share the thoughts from everyone at AEW. I just want to send out my respect, and prayers to the residents that have been effected by the floods in Texas, from here in the UK, love, and good feelings go out to you, and I hope you guys can attend a Pro Wrestling show when everything is back to a sense of normality.

Samoa Joe vs Wheeler Yuta

Samoa Joe, beat. Wheeler Yuta, in what was a fairly quick Match, with his clutch submission. And was then attacked by Gabe Kidd, now that's an interesting Match that I would like to see.

Allstar 8 Man Tag Match.

Jon Moxley. Claudio Castagnoli, and. The Young Bucks, beat. The Opps. Hangman Adam Page, and. Will Osperay in a fun Match, that was given plenty of time to breathe. The Matches within the Match were a cool breath of fresh air, as the interwoven storylines blended in with the physicality perfectly. Mox got the win, with a bulldog choke to Shibata, and then it all kicked off. Swerve Strickland showed up on the big screen, and became his own version of Stone Cold Steve Austin, and wrecked The Young Bucks Limosine with a crane, as the carnage in the ring unfolded, this was as bags were brought out. The physicality that came afterwards brought the show to an end, and has left me feeling excited for the PPV this Saturday.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This was a fantastic Go home show before a major PPV, that only had one minor flaw. Am I ready for the PPV this Saturday. You bet I am.

 This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

My Top UFC Fighters Who Never Backed Down.

Intro.

The phrase never back down isn't just a name of a minor, and awful film franchise. It's a way of life for MMA fighters. If you're in the fight, then you'll always have a chance, and those words are a needed vice versa, especially in the hard world of MMA.

5. Randy Couture.

From being a two time champion, in two weight classes, two fighting the UFC over unfair payments. It could be argued that Captain America is a man of conviction, even if the big bosses don't agree with is morals. I have a lot of time for Randy Couture, because he's someone who won't back down if someone has wronged him, and that's the right thing to do in life.

4. Chuck Liddell.

Even though the man has faced some questionable accusations, that I can't condone. I do believe that anyone can change their lives. His relentless fighting style may be dated now, but this man at the time when the UFC was coming up, was the poster boy for hardwork, as the his attitude for I'll fight anyone, anytime, any place, became infectious.

3. Michael The Count Bisping.

From becoming the first ever british UFC Champion, to fighting his own legal battle outside the octagon, this man is has more deserved his place on this list.

2. Anthony Rumble Johnson.

This man in his life, whilst he was alive, was an inspiration, from overcoming a tough up bringing, to becoming a top contender in the Light Heavyweight Division, this just proves, that you can do anything in life, if you want it bad enough. RIP Rumble.

1. Connor Mcgregor.

How do you go from collecting welfare in Ireland, to smashing records, and Championships in the UFC? Well by showing a hardworking attitude, and fighting skills to boot. Connor has all of this, and even though he's faced some controversy for which I can't condone over the past few years. This man showed, that if you want something, then come and get it, because it's up to you to earn it.

 

WWE Monday Night Raw Review 8.7.2025.

Superstars Seen Showing To The Arena.

Sami Zayn. Jey Uso. Penta, and. The Judgement Day were all seen showing up to the arena. Also that drone shot was sublime.

Seth Rollins Segment.

I liked this. But it had its issues, Both Bron Breakker, and Bronson reads verbalage, felt repetitive, and very rinse and repeat, with differant opponents. Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso. Paul Heyman got things back on track by bringing up Roman Reigns, and Star Wars in the same breath, leaving Seth to do just one thing, welcome us to Monday Night Rollins. This didn't out stay it's welcome, and was quite sharp, but it was the mirror copying at the beginning that took me away from this opening segment.

RIP Liv Morgan.

Roxanne Perez put Liv Morgan to rest. As the rest of The Judgement Day, just felt like, OK I guess, however that cake looked nice, get well soon Dom, agh isn't AJ Styles a nice man. Kairi Sane beat Perez in a solid TV Match, and in the aftermath. Asuka helps Kairi Sane from beat down, and also Adam Pearce get down with your bad self, that image of you dad dancing will be burnt into my brain.

Sami Zayn vs Bron Breakker.

Sami was on his way down to the ring, and got murdered by Big Kazza Kross. Sami tried to show some hurt in his Match against Bron, but the attack is what defeated him, as Bron got the win.

Grief Is A Bad Thing.

The New Day are in morning for the demise of the Tag Team Ddivision, whilst the War Raiders just stood there trying not to corpse. Becky Lynch walked over, and by what it sounded like, I think she was trying to tease a Big E return of some sort?

Becky Lynch Segment.

This hole segment had me howling with laughter. From Becky putting herself over, calling out a fan, and acting like a general spoilt brat over having to defend her belt against two other women. Lyra Valkyria, and. Bayley. Both ladies then came out, and had threeway promo dual, and it was great. From insults to true facts. I had fun watching this.

Jey Uso vs Bronson Reed.

This Match was a waste of time, but it made sense. The Match was thrown out, when Bron launched a ring announcers chair at Jey. This is because you need to have your big monsters look big, Jey got wrecked in the aftermath.

Rhea Ripley And Iyo Sky Vingnette.

This is one of the Matches that i'm looking forward to watching this weekend, and this package was great.

El Grande Americano vs Dragon Lee.

El Grande Americano, beat. Dragon Lee in what was a decent TV Outing for Ludwig Kaiser. Michael Cole was class here, because me and him both know that Americano is actually Mr Tiffany Stratton.

Gunther Segment.

Even though i'm not a big fan of the idea of this Match, but if honest, this segment was ,no notes, perfect. Check this out when you get the chance.

Penta vs Seth Rollins.

I liked this. Both men had great back and forth chemistry, that was coupled with awesome physicality, that bled into both mens movesets. Seth got the win, and in the aftermath. Paul Heyman made the call for both Brons to come out, and attack Penta. But Seth was met by LA Knight, who attacked him as the show went off the air. The pair will meet up on Saturday Nights Main Event.

Overview of Monday Night Raw.

Overall I enjoyed this weeks Raw. This show has managed to convey the message that there's no such thing as a perfect Pro Wrestling show, and this show is the perfect example.

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