WWE NXT Halloween Havoc Review 28.10.2024.

Intro.

As this time off year, draws the nights in, and the weather gets colder. NXT of late, hasn't been as a bad as what i thought it would be. Now, don't get me wrong. I have gone a bit cold on the NXT product of late, in terms of their TV product, but in the terms of PLE's they always deliver.

Gigi Dolon Hype Video.

Gigi Dolon, introduced the show, hosting the intro hype video, It's great to see her back.

Tony D'angelo vs Oba Femi NXT North American Championship.

The ring announcer couldn't even get a word out, because both men started, to produce the carnage. Awesome table spots, and ladders, getting used as impliments, and help from the family, leading to Tony to retain his belt, after he gave Oba a spinebuster through a table. This. Was, an excellent opening match, and I had a lot of fun watching it.

Lexis King Segment.

William Regal, said that he will help the man with drawn on side burns, and will be in his corner, when he faces his son on Tuesday.

Roxanne Perez And Cora Jade vs Giulia And Stephanie Vaquer.

Stephanie Vaquer, and. Giulia, beat. Roxanne Perez, and. Cora Jade. I loved this match. I felt that the flow it had, helped the match to have time to breathe. The physicality was solid, and all four ladies painted their art, on this canvas.

WWE Superstars Halloween Suprise.

WWE Superstars, then felt up The Boogeyman. Byron Saxtons face was a picture.

Cedric Alexander Jevon Edwards Segment.

Cedric Alexander, gave. Jevon Edwards some advice. They will face the Tag Team Champions on Tuesday. Nathan Frasier, and. Axiom answered back later on.

Busted Open Radio On NXT.

Dave LaGrecca, and. Bully Ray, from Busted Open Radio, were on hosting duties. I understand why they're divisive figures, but I like their back and forth, on. Busted Open. Ridge Holland then got in Bully Rays face later on. This was the second time on the broadcast. Tatum Paxley then scared the daylights out of. Booker T, when she appeared from Case, that Wendy Choo, trapped her in on NXT this week. Also. Vic Joseph's David S Pumpkins Costume was inspired.

Andre Chase vs Ridge Holland Ambulance.

I had a lot of fun watching this. This. Was. A stipulation led ride, that didn't disapoint. Ambulance matches, do what they say on the tin, there not technical masterpieces, what we got here was a weapon induced piece of work, as a steel chair, a kendo stick, and a stretcher, were all used to full effect. Holland got the win, after he put his former Chase U mentor in an ambulance, slamming the door on his education. Right i'm going to send in application.

Gauntlet Match Kelani Jordan vs Fatal Influence.

I thought this match fell flat. Kelani saw off. Jasmine Nix, and. Jacy Jayne, but she couldn't get over Fallon Henley, as she became the new NXT North American Championship. She then tried to cut a promo, but. Zaria came out and laid waste to all of Fatal Influence. This was her second appearance on the show, as she stared down Cora Jade, and. Roxanne Perez, after their loss.

Devils Playground Ethan Page vs Trick Williams NXT Championship.

I liked all of this, except the ending that is. The match was a fine run through, complete with good weapon spots, including. Ethan Page, getting turned into a human pumpkin, both men fighting in the fans. Ethan was landed onto nuts, and bolts. Both men had fun with steel steps. And. Trick Williams, was put through the announcers table. The final stages of the match, saw the near falls, land into place well, and both mens final exchanges, led to the finish, allowing Trick to retain his belt, and then it happened. Ridge Holland came out, and attacked Trick. Bully Ray came out to make the save. I hated the ending. Bully stood tall, this takes away the fact that Developmentees, were meant to be standing tall. Instead  this made Trick look stupid, needing help from a 50 plus year old veteran. What's the point in that.

Over Of WWE NXT Halloween Havoc.

Poor ending aside, this was a decent show, that I had a lot of fun watching. The in-ring work went from good, to, great, and the promise that has been placed on NXT, makes me feel excited for the developmental brands future.

NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 is a high 8/10.

AEW Collision Review 27.10.2024

Intro.

When the weekend comes around. I get a bit excited, because it means two things. The first is Premier League Football, and the second is wrestling. Weekend wrestling, unlike my beloved Arsenal FC, never fails to leave me feeling satisfied. Due to my day job. I haven't been able to do a Smackdown Review, in over two weeks, and you know what, it's been a nice change of pace, because sometimes in life, the quiet lane, knows what's best.

Footage From After Dynamite.

Chuck Taylors was seen being taken out of the ring on a stretcher. Orange Cassidy lost his cool, and took out his frustraions on Daniel Garcia. He will face Mox on Dynamite this Wednesday. I loved this as an opening to the show. Just brilliant.

Jay White vs Shane Taylor.

Jay White, beat. Shane Taylor, in a solid match. The big vs small dynamic, was a well woven story arch that sold the physicality. Jay hit big Shane with his bladerunner finisher, for the win, and then cut a promo, putting over Taylor, whilst rubbing salt into the skin of Hangman Adam Page, he challenged Hangman to a match at Full Gear, that was later on made official, by Tony Khan. I liked all of this.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

Kyle Fletcher, told Lexi Nair that he's here on family business, keeping an eye on Ricochet, for Takeshista, whilst sporting his new haircut. Kyle Fletcher 1980's action star. He will meet Will on Wednesday.

Penelope Ford vs Robyn Renegade.

Penelope Ford, beat Robyn Renegade, in a flat TV match, that offered nothing. And was then called out by Jamie Hayter on the big screen, in the aftermath.

FTRunners Segment.

I'm head over heels in love with this team, their promo, had me howling with laughter, like it was 1987. The Outrunners, then beat MxM Collection in a fun TV match.

Nigel Mcguinness, Wheeler Yuta Segment.

This. Was. Excellent. I loved all of this. From Nigels calm expodition, acting like a school teacher, who was calmly trying to understand why a student has done something potentially very serious, to. Yuta becoming, a calm cadaver whilst explaining his actions, for why he nearly left his mentor with altering injuries. All of this was excellent. Well done to both men.

Ricochet vs Lio Rush.

Ricochet, beat. Lio Rush in solid match, that was a beat by beat, stylistic clash, left me wanting more. Ricochet, got the win by sending a clear message to Takeshista.

Harley Cameron Segment.

Ok i'm going to explain this in the style of a famous 1980's cartoon. Feel the magic, feel the roar Thunder Cameron is loose. Thunder. Thunder. Thunder. Thunder Cameron. Hooooooooooo. Thunder Rosa, said that she's going to smack the paint from off of her face next week. I liked this.

The Beast Mortas Segment.

The Kingdom had a very nice gift for The Beast Mortas, a sweet box selection. This was an attempt to get him on their side. Lexi Nair, ask before you take someone else's sweets. Manners little lady. Manners.

Ana Jay vs Viva Van.

Ana Jay, beat. Viva Van, in a solid TV Match, and was then called out by Marieh May, in the aftermath. I liked all of this.

FTR vs Rush and Dralistico.

I liked all of this. FTR are one of my favourite Tag Teams to watch, and this match was the perfect examplication for why. The Physicality was on point, the match was given plenty of time to breathe. FTR got the win, with a shatter machine. The Beast Mortas, then helped his team in a beatdown on Dax, and. Cash, that was until, their new mates. The Outrunners came to make the save, as the show ended, with all four men flexing, like it was 1988. 

Overview Of AEW Collision.

I had a lot of fun watching this weeks Collision, the in-ring work was solid, and the promos were decent.

This weeks AEW Collision is an enjoyable 7/10.

My Top 5 Jon Moxley Matches

Intro.

From being Ignored by a large corporation, to becoming the demented nuttcase he is today. Jon Moxley got me through the pandemic, and beyond, and has become a staple amongst fans, as he continnnnues to earn their respect.

5 Jon Moxley vs Hangman Adam Page Texas Death Match Revolution 2023.

In AEW Jon Moxley has become the stallwart for carnage, he's always been a company player, being there whenever he's been called upon, and on this night, he and Hangman Adam Page, didn't bring the house down, they created it in their image. A bloodstained canvas. I love this match.

4 Jon Moxley vs Chris Jericho Revolution 2020 AEW World Heavyweight Champion.

Even though I'm not the biggest Chris Jericho fan these days. I have to admit, he, and, Jon have great matches together, and this was one of them. It came at the right time, and was placed perfectly, as the build to the ppv ramped up, the excitement for the match grew, and it delivered. We love you Moxley, we do. We love Moxley, we do. We love you Moxley, we do, oh. Jon Moxley, we love you.

3 Jon Moxley vs MJF Full Gear 2022.

With the changing tides that AEW saw in 2022, there was one constant. Jon Moxley, his way of seeing what was working, and what wasn't, is something that I feel has gone unrecognised. MJF was on a speeding train, towards the AEW World Heavyweight championship, and to actions beyond Jons control, he took it upon himself to guide the company, through an incredibly troubling time. This, match was perfectly timed, and, a well executed piece of work.

2 Jon Moxley vs Kenny Omega AEW Dynamite Winter Is Coming 2020.

A changing of the guard was coming. Moxley had held the Championship since Febuary 2020, and his time at the top, was coming to an end, and. Kenny Omega, was on the rise, and his next step towards dominance, came when he had to topple the king, and that he did. Jon helped make this rivalry feel, visceral, and violent, before a move had been made, due to his promos, delving into the realm of believability. You add all of this together, and what do you get, well magic. Let's be honest.

1 Jon Moxley vs Wheeler Yuta AEW Rampage March 2022.

This. Is, by far the best Match Jon has ever had in AEW. If you haven't seen it, then I urge you to give it a watch, because this was gold.

My Top 5 AEW Championship.

Intro

Over its early five years. AEW has had some mind altering Championship Matches. Are a select few of my favourites.

 5 Will Osperay vs MJF AEW International Championship 2024 All In.

Ok. I'm going to sound a bit biased, because I was there, but this match was an excellent spectacle, and well worthy of its five star rating, from my idol. Big daddy Dave Meltzer. The physicality, and, storytelling, was off the chain, and I think I lost my voice twice, during this match.

4 MJF vs Adam Cole AEW All In 2023.

In a match that I dubbed. The Battle Of The Brochatchos, you could see the next four months worth of storytelling, being laid out in front of our very eyes. Even though that creative did fall by the wayside. This match acted as an interesting paradox. Their chemistry was palpable, as the stage was set, for something that UK fans wouldn't forget. I was also in attendance for this show, and I remember crying at the end, because I never thought I would ever be able to go to a big wrestling show, on these shores. This. Was. A perfect main event.

3 Jon Moxley vs Eddie Kingston Full Gear 2020.

As the way that the industry stood in 2020, the added art of Groteque in Pro Wrestling, had been given a new lease on life. AEW were not afraid to venture to places, that there counterparts in Stamford Conneticut, had distanced themselves from. This. Match, is the perfect example of bloodsoaked carnage, being turned into beauty, and served up to the masses.

2 Hangman Adam Page vs Kenny Omega Full Gear 2021.

What can I say about this match, that hasn't been said before, other than, this was a perfect way to cap off a two year story arch, well, as it turns out. I just did.

1 Bryan Danielson vs Swerve Strickland AEW World Heavyweight Championship AEW All In 2024.

If a matches final result, leaves me in a flood of tears at the end, then you know something special has unfolded. enough said.

AEW Dynamite Review 24.10.2024

Intro

I have to say, i'm starting to like the new direction that AEW is heading. I can understand why some longtime fans, may feel differantly, but to me. Dynamite is the reason that I enjoy waking up early on a Thursday morning. Next weeks card is looking very good indeed.

Jon Moxley Opening Segment

I liked this. As the Highlights of the past few weeks played out, as Moxley narrated us through his murderous mindset. That worked as a Remember,  that he, and his mates are doing this for the greater good. The camera then showed a linch mob outside the arena, this was a weak episode running thread. Chuck Taylor, later tried to get through to Orange Cassidy.

Hangman Adam Page Segment

Tony Schiavone, Interviewed. Hangman Adam Page. Hangman tried to talk about his reign of battering the Bang Bang Gang, but he was attacked by Colton Gunn, and when he was about to strangle him. Gunn was saved by Jay White, and. Juice Robinson, who chased off the raving nutter. White then cut a promo on Hangman, telling him to ice his knee, and he will see him soon. This was a mix-bag.

Sammy Guervara vs Shelton Benjamin

I liked this. The match had a decent flow to it, and both men showcased their excellent chemistry, and physicality. This Match was given plenty of time to breathe. Shelton got the win.

Marieh May Segment.

Renee Paquette, tried to get a word with Marieh May, but she was more interested in chucking out Ana Jay's luggage from the locker room, Ana saw this, and both ladies had a fight. Just have the match already.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

This. Was. A lot better than last weeks segment. Damn It Don Callis handed Kyle the mic, and he led us down the road, of a promo tour de force 101. I liked all of this, It felt fresh. It felt relevant, and it felt highly visceral, as Don handed him a head shaver. Kyle took the blades, to his awesome locks, and called out his former best friend, to meet him, face to face, next week. I loved this, The NJPW references were a nice touch, because the relevence of friendship, has now been burn t to the ground.

Ricochet Segment.

Ricochet, was being interviewed by Renee Paquette, when enter stage left came. MVP, and just like that my mind goes back to 2020 Pandemic era WWE. Thanks AEW.

Brian Cage and Lance Archer vs Some Local Jobbers.

Brian Cage, and. Lance Archer, beat some Local Jobbers, in a pointless TV Match, yeah I know. I don't know why this was on the card either.

Mark Briscoe vs Chris Jericho Ladder War ROH World Championship.

Even though, nowadays, i'm not the biggest fan of Chris Jericho's. I had a blast watching this. He took an awesome looking table spot within the first minute of the match. Mark got supplexed through a ladder, just seconds later. As the blood started to flow down Marks face, Jericho upped the violence, and let his sadistic side come out to play, this only fired Mark up, as he gave Chris a Death Valley Driver, through a possitioned ladder in the corner of the ring. The match was given time to breathe. Rocky Romero stopped Bryan Keith, from getting involved, but he couldn't stop Big Bill, who carried his leaders weakened body up the ladder, after Briscoe had given him a froggy bow elbow drop, from off the top of the ladder. I liked the match. I just hated the finish, Also Chris Jericho is a champion in our year of 2024. Oh Joy. Let the sarcasm reign down.

Adam Cole Segment.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Adam Cole came out, and before he could even get a word out, he was interrupted by. Roderick Strong, and. The Kingdom. I hated this. Their dialogue was woeful. as it delved into what we already know. MJF is a scumbag. Max then appeared on the big screen, getting a message, he told both men, that if they want a match against him, then you've got to go through three opponents, and if one of them does that, he will face the winner at Full Gear. I didn't like any of this. I feels like a convoluted way to get to the Fireworks Factory.

Jamie Hayter Segment.

Jamie Hayter, called out Penelope Ford, for a Match in two weeks time. Now this is more like it.

House Of Black vs Local Jobbers.

The House Of Black, beat some local Jobbers, and. Buddy Mathews, called out Adam Cole, who then confronted him backstage. The promise sounds appateising.

Camille vs Queen Aminata.

Camille beat. Queen Aminata, in a decent TV Match, and then had an stair down with Kris Statlander, which turned into a beatdown angle. Mercedes Mone tried to bodyshame Statlander. Not Cool.

Hook Segment.

Hook marched to the ring, to confront his dads attacker, or in this case attackers. Because it was The Patriarchy. Christian put a beating on Hook, and Kip Sabian helped. Nick Wayne, also got in his licks. This was Predictable.

The Elite vs Private Party and Daniel Garcia.

I liked this. The Match had a solid flow to it. Tony Schiavone was seen getting down with his bad self. Daniel Garcia had a date with the time keepers table. Private Party got the win, after a solid final exchange by roll up. The aftermath saw Isiah Cassidy take to the mic, and challenge The Bucks one last time, for their Tag Team Championships, and if they lose, then they will go their seperate ways. Noooooooooooooooooooo, not my best friends, just as the dust had settled on my tears. Marina Shafir showed up in the car park in the truck from Earlier, but this was rouse as the. Greater Good attacked from behind, allowing Moxley to become Alex Delarge, and orchanstrate his violence towards Chuck Taylor. Orange Cassidy, was to late to save his friend, and the broadcast ended on his devastated face, as medical staff tried to help Chuck.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

When I was a kid, every Saturday my family would go to Princess Risborough, my dad would head to the local bookies, and my mum would take me, and my older brother to the local Fourboys newsagent, my brother would look at the toys, and I would tag along, but my mum would always pull me away, and get me to look at the Pick'n mix, because I had learning issues, and couldn't read she would always help me pick my sweats, and she would shove a load of disgusting liqourice in the bag. Basically what i'm trying to say is this. Wrestling is like pick'n Mix, you eat what you like, and leave what you don't.

By AEW Standards. This weeks Dynamite is a mid 6/10.

 

My Top 5 Worst  Wrestlers Ever.

Intro

Over the past few years. I have been asking myself the same question, when it comes to Pro wrestling. Who's the worst Pro wrestler ever? So I decided, to try and answer that question.

5 The Ultimate Warrior.

before I realised that he wasn't a particuarly nice human being. I used to love the man, who legally changed his name to Warrior, however his moveset, was very stagnant, and after a while, he became boring.

4 David Flair. 

I'm having horror flashbacks, just thinking about this mans attempt at wrestling. I'm going to go and have a lye down.

3 Hulk Hogan.

Hulk Hogan is an interesting paradox, that as a child I loved, however as I got older, his in ring work got worse, as he continued to revive his career, as part of the groundbreaking NWO faction.

2 Lex Luger

I don't know why I didn't like Lex Luger. I could just never get into his work. I tried, oh boy I tried.

1 Bill Goldberg.

Don't get me wrong, i'm slamming Bill. I think he did ok, with the tools that he was given, however the way that the industry was shaped at the time, acted more like a hindrance, and not a help, he was fast rushed way before his time.

 My Top 5 Eddie Guerrero

Intro

I've been waiting to write this list for quite some time, because it's all about lying, cheating, and, stealing. As you can tell i'm a big fan of the man known as. Latino Heat, better known as. Eddie Guerrero, over the years his matches have still been able to capture my imagination, and even though he left us at the young age of 38, his impact is still felt on the industry, and how wrestlers work today. These are. My Top 5 Eddie Guerrero matches

5 Eddie Guerrero vs Edge Smackdown 26th Of December 2002.

As the years have gone on, this match has become an underrated classic, both men had fantasic chemistry, and this match showcased, as the violence allowed the story of the match, to gain in depth. This match needs to get it's flowers.

4 Eddie Guerrero vs Jeff Hardy Smackdown 1st Of June 2000.

Watching wrestling in my pre-teens, was a joy, and this match is a great example of that. Eddie was in his prime, and Jeff was an upstart, who had made his name being part of a tag with his brother. Both mens chemistry oozed out from the canvas on this night.

3 Eddie Guerrero vs Dean Malenko ECW 21st of July 1995.

This match, is a must watch, if you're a fan of technical wrestling. Move by move, and counter by counter, this match is perfect.

2 Eddie Guerrero vs Juvetude Guerra WCW Nitro 8th Of March 1998.

If you were a fan of WCW in the late nineties, then, you would be aware, that the multi-millionaire main eventers, were oversaturating the product, and it was starting to show in the weekly ratings, but if you paid attention to the midcard, you would be treated to a fine conveyor belt of talent, from across the globe. Juvetude, and. Eddie wanted some of main attention, and given the way that the company was going, putting on the best show they can, was the only way to do it. This match is an underrated gem, and a must watch, if you're a fan of Mexican Flare.

1 Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio WCW Halloween Havoc 1997.

I'm not going to go into too much detail about this match, because in reality. It's a masterpiece, and a must watch.

Monday Night Raw Review 22.10.2024

Intro.

As WWE's latest verse into sport washing comes even closer. The build is starting to come along nicely. Gunther vs Cody, is looking tasty, and. Nia vs The Mulletchaser, is an intriguing affair, that on paper could work. Under HHH reign, the Saudi shows have been treated with an extra layer of respect, and even though I don't agree with sport washing. I'm not going to slam Saudi Arabian fans, who don't get the chance to see their favourite superstars, because as a lifelong wrestling fan. I have learnt over the years, that gloating is an ugly human trait, that should hold no weight, in the wrestling world.

No Ordinary Superstars Showing Up Segment.

Jey Uso. Bron Breakker. Rey Mysterio, and. Dragon Lee, and. Bronson Reed, were all seen showing up to the venue. Seth Rollins attacked Bronson, as he was turning up. Seth went out to the ring, and called out Big Bronson. Both men had a fight, that security tried to pull apart, but they failed. Big Bronson tried to put Seth away with a tsunami, but, he ended up going through the announcers table. I liked this. Security got manhandled, and. Adam Pearce was pissed off with the pair of them, so he gave them what they wanted. A match at Crown Jewel. Pearce mate, go and have a beer. I think you've earnt it.

Damage Ctrl Segment.

Damage Ctrl, challenged. The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez to a match later on, after they interrupted. Iyo, and. Kairi's interview segment. The match was later thrown out. When Lash Legend, and. Jakara Jackson, from NXT got involved. Rhea came out to make the save, she attacked. The Mulletchaser. Raquel Rodriguez ate a headbutt sandwich, and. The Human Oven, was almost made an example of. I married this together, because it was all terrible. The Judgement Days, new clubhouse looks weird, also. One day Gunther is going to kill The Human Oven, he will face a former Heavyweight Champion next week.

Tag Team Tournament The New Day vs AOP.

I didn't like this. This shenanigans led match, was a farce, and a waste of time. The New Day won. The Miz, who was at ringside, got attacked by R Truth, and. The Wyatt Sick, targetted. The Final Testement.

 Tag Team Tournament Match LWO vs American Made.

Finally something good has happened, on this so far, drab episode of weekly tv. Rey Mysterio, and. Dragon Lee, advance to the next round of the tournament, after beating American Made, in a fun match. Zelina gave Chad the shoe treatment, and you know what that means, he messed up.

Gunther Segment.

Gunther, told. Kathy Kelly, that he will see Cody on Smackdown this Friday. Damian Priest then said, that he wants another piece of Gunther, when he's done with Cody. I liked this.

Bron Breakker vs Jey Uso Ic Championship match.

I had a lot of fun watching this at 7.30am, here in the UK, from the good physicality that was on display, to the family dynamics, becoming the vocal point of the story, when. Solo, and his Bloodline turned, and helped Jey Lose, what was his. Jakub, and. Bron had a stair down, that teased something for the future, as. Adam Pearce had the Tonga brothers escorted from the arena, allowing Bron to take advantage of a weakened Uso, who had been Back dropped onto the announcers table, by his cousin Jakub. Bron gave him a sphere, and is now a two time Intercontinental Champion.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw

This weeks Raw, like I have said plenty of times in the past, resembled a confusing bag of Pick'n Mix, you eat the sweats you like, and leave the ones you don't.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a 6/10.

My Top 5 AEW Mistakes

intro

AEW are producing my favourite weekly TV, in terms of Pro wrestling at this minute, but they're also not perfect, and they have made some pretty big mistakes over the years. 

5 The Booking of Jay white In 2023

How do you take one of the worlds best talents, and then drop the ball on him? this is a question, that I keep coming back to, when it comes to Jay White. Now, don't get me wrong. I love White as a single wrestler. I just don't think that teaming him with The Gunns, and. Juice Robinson, did anything to help him, and placing him in a pointless feud with MJF, that was laced with anti semitism, wasn't a good move.

4 Tony Khan on X

Tony Khan is an interesting paradox, when you look at Wrestling promoters, he isn't perfect, not by any stretch, however over the past year, his X game, has calmed down, because when the year kicked off, he was a hot mess of fire, that was hell bent on bringing down the world, one tweet at a time.

3. 2023 booking.

AEW's booking in 2023, yeah. It didn't always slap that hard did it. It was clear that Tony Khan needed help.

2 His Attitude Towards Chris Jericho.

It's no secret that i'm not a big fan of Chris Jericho, and this all started after the Worlds End PPV press conference, when he asked by the press, has Chris Jericho ever been investigated for sexual misconduct, he said that he wasn't going to be delving into online rumours. I think these rumours are true, and the man Chris tries to portray on tv. doesn't match the person who he is out of the ring.

1 The Hiring Of Ric Flair

In late 2021, an episode of Darkside Of The Ring, focused on the outright debauchery that took place on a flight taking WWE superstars, back to the States. This lives in infamy for all the wrong reasons, as tales of harressment, and sexual assault, came to light. Ric Flair was accused of assault by an airline stewardness, after he backed her into a corner, at the time. AEW was considering bringing in Flair, to be Andrade El Idolo's manager, but these plans were cancelled, after the alligations came to light. He was brought in as part of Stings retirement, in 2023 and it was met with wide condemnation, especially when back in 2020, AEW released, an suspended, individuals, when accusations came to the forefront, during the speaking out movement of that year. If you do your research. Flair is an individual who we need to talk about, because conversations need to be had.

My Top 5 Underrated Wrestling Matches

Intro

What is the definition, of the word underrated? To me the answer is simple. It means. A match that has gone under the radar, but due to education surrounding the industry, has been looked at in a differant light. Here are my top examples of this.

5 Kenny Omega vs El Hiro Del Vikingo AEW Dynamite 22nd Of March 2023.

This. Was one of the best TV matches from last year, and in my opinion, it went heavily under looked. Omega had another year in ring, working for Tony Khans little promotion, and this was a highlight, in my opinion.

4 Bret Hart vs Mr Perfect Intercontinental Championship Summerslam 1991.

The only thing I can say about this match, is this. It's simply perfect, and is essential viewing.

3 Bret Hart vs A Monster WCW Nitro 1999.

Bret Hart, lived by the monicker. The Best There Is. The Best There Was. And The Best There Ever Will Be, and this match was his way of getting younger talent over, this would come at the behest of older talent, holding younger talent down. This. Match is sublime viewing. But unfortunately due to his opponents actions eight years later. The Monster would be banished from all memory by the WWE.

2 Kurt Angle vs The Monster WrestleMania 17.

This. Is a technical clinic, that needs to beholded as a classic, but due to the actions of The Monster, that would come six years later. This. Match now gets looked at in a differant light, and I get why.

1 Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerro WCW Halloween Havoc 1997.

This. Is in the list of my favourite wrestling matches ever, but nowadays, it gets overlooked, and that's a shame, because these guys had incredible chemistry, and their physicality was never matched by anyone else. I love this match.
