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.
