My Top 5 Royal Rumble Entrants.

Intro.

Just giving you guys a heads up, this weekend on the blog, i'm going to be having a bit of a love in, due to The Rumble, and you know what, it starts here. So here's a list of my top 5 of my favourite Royal Rumble Entrants.

5. Santino Marella.

Agh yes. Santino Marella, my favourite false Italian, the time when he was eliminated from the Rumble by Kane, in quick time, still makes me laugh.

4. Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

I have to put this guy on this list, he won the 1st ever Rumble, and by all accounts he the nicest person to ever ride a double decker bus. Gob bless you Hacksaw. Hoooooooooooo.

3. John Cena.

In 2008. John Cena made his comeback, from an awful pectoral injury, an injury that would keep a normal athlete out of action, for up to nine months, but. Big Time John, came back in just five, this guy isn't real, for someone who can't be seen

2. AJ Styles.

In 2016. Kevin Dunn, clearly didn't want none, because all we saw, was a suprised looking Roman Reigns, still it was cool seeing AJ Styles in a WWE ring.

1. Edge.

This. Was. Easily the best thing about 2020, as for the rest, well, we all know how that turned. This. Was an emotional moment that I would never forget. Edge was back, and it was great to see.

My Top 5 List Of Wrestlers Who Made Dodgy Commercials.

Intro.

Wrestlers over the years have made, some pretty bad acting endeavours, from films, to. TV Shows, and then there's, of course. Adverts, and oh my there's been plenty of Bad adverts, featuring Pro wrestlers, so lets take a look at some. 

5 Chris Jericho Taco Bell.

It's no secret, that I love fast food. Taco Bell is slowly becoming my new favourite chain, however this advert staring Chris Jericho, is just plain bad. And  it leaves me feeling unhungry.

4. The Ultimate Warrior Ford Dealer ships.

Ok, i'm just going to say it. No thank you. I don't want to buy a car from an awful person.

 3 Terry Funk Car Salesman.

It's true Women love men with cars, ( or so I hear ) When Terry Funk says he has a message for the ladies, men you need to listen. In the late nineties he did a series of commercials for his local car dealer. What a nice guy RIP Funker.

3 John Cena Subway.

Whatever you do. Don't Google the man next to Big Time John, oh boy this was bad.

 2 Sgt Slaughter Local Steakhouse.

Kids if you don't eat your greens, this guy will come for you. Sgt Slaughter advertising a Steakhouse, is a sight to be seen.

1 Hulk Hogan Right Guard.

Oh my, this is so appropriate. Given the fact that he has a lot of stench against him, after his appearance on the Raw debut on Netflix. I think he could use a product like this, to get rid of the stench that he created. I hate Hulk Hogan.

AEW Dynamite Review 30.1.2025.

   Intro. 

In just over two weeks, AEW will be heading Down Under, for the 1st time, but as they say goodday for the 1st time, the gaping holes, in their creative is becoming more, and, more evidant. Tony Khan has said, that he has gone back into the weeds of his own Company's creative, and I think this is a good idea. Back in late 2019, he made the decision, to cut down his creative team, because, he felt like their was two many cooks, ruining good meals, this has needed to happen, for quite some time, and. I welcome this change.

Will Osperay vs Brian Cage.

I liked this. As an opening Match, this worked, from. Damn It Don Callis taking to the mic, and showing Will footage of a battered Kenny Omega backstage. Will sold the look of confliction perfectly, as the fast paced fluidity of the Match, took centre stage. This. Was. A perfect look, at how you book, differant sizes. It's not an easy thing to do, and both men made this look easy. Will got the win, after an awesome final exchange. Lance Archer, beat Will down in the aftermath, leading Kenny to make the save, ( as if by magic ) but, the numbers game caught up with him, as The Don Callis took him bown as well. Am I the only one, who thinks that Kenny Omega is like wrestling's answer to Jean Claude Van Damme?

Hangman Adam Page And MJF Segment.

Renee Paquette tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but instead, she found a frantic Hangman Adam Page, she tried to get a word with him, but he was more interested in squiring up to MJF. Renee tried to speak to Max, but all he said was, that he had an offer for Jeff Jarrett, that he can't pass up.

Powerhouse Hobbs Segment.

Ok, i'm now scared of Powerhouse Hobbs, I think he just threatened to Murder Big Bill, on live TV.

Claudio Castagnoli vs Jeff Jarrett.

I have mixed feelings about this Match. On one side, the Match had good physicality, but it also had a dodgy finish, as Moxley, and his crew helped Claudio get the win, when Claudio gave Jeff two immobilisers. He was left in the centre of the ring, and then in comes my other mind, out comes MJF, and this restored my faith with his promo. Jeff got back to his feet, and. Max knocked him back down, when he punched him, with a stiff right, that was balanced out with the Dynamite Gold Ring. And all he said was this. He respects his elders, but he told Jeff, that this would happen. This. Was. A real Mix-bag.

Ricochet vs AR Fox.

This. Match. Was a lofi burner, that reminded me, that sometimes, you need Matches like this on a broadcast. Ricochet got the win, and then nearly embraced his inner Jeffrey Dalmer, and brought out his scissors. Swerve stopped this from happening.

Learning Tree Segment.

I have two thoughts on this segment, my first one is this. Jericho's new movie looks awful, and this is coming from a big Horror. Sci Fi, and. Comic Book fan, and the other one is that. Tony Khan must be paying The Olsen Twins a boat load of money, to use the term. New York Minute. Chris Jericho, and. Big Bill vs The Outrunners on Collision, should be fun though.

Jay White vs Wheeler Yuta.

Even though some of this Match was a bit of a stagnant affair. I do also think that this Match was an interesting mental game of chess, that was actually quite enthralling, when you dig beneath the surface. Jay got the win with his Bladerunner finisher, he was then greated by Moxley, and his crew, he was attacked by Claudio. Rated FTR made the save, and. Dax Harwood took to the mic, he spoke about his idol one half of The Rock'n Roll Express. Dennis Condry who was in attendence, and then challenged The Deathriders to a Mid south Street Fight on this weeks Collision. I like this development.

Marieh May Segment.

This. Was. Excellent. Renee Paquette, got to have a few words with Marieh May. And from awkward swearing, to getting to the point. May cut down Toni Storm in the only way she could, with Visceral nastiness, and, humiliation, embrace her everyone, because she's our AEW womens champion. This. Was excellent.

The Gunns Are Coming Back.

The Gunns are coming back, oh yay, oh joy. The Gunns are coming back. I can't wait. In the words of Homer simpson. If you can't tell. I'm being sarcastic.

Taya And Deonna Segment.

I might have hated this segment. I love the fact that these two were dressed up like Neo from The Matrix.

Mercedes Mone vs Yuka Sakazaki AEW TBS Championship Match.

I liked this Match, but It shouldn't have main evented, the Match had a solid flow, that allowed the Match to breathe. Both ladies showcased each others momentum, this gave the Match a main focus, and it was great to see. Mercedes retained, after a great final exchange. The near falls were well placed. It's just a shame that these ladies didn't open the show.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

Even though this weeks Dynamite, did showcase its gaping holes, for the world to see. I did have a good time watching it. But the big question is this. Can AEW fill in, and fix their gaping holes, and problems? At this time. I remain positive, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 7/10.

My Top 5 Takeaways From Monday Night Raw 28.1.2025.

       Intro.

It's Rumble week, and this guy, is as excited like a kid before christmas. I love The Royal Rumble, it's my favourite event of the year next to WrestleMania. So with that said, what were the highlights of the go home edition of Monday Night Raw, let's get into it.

5. Pat Mcafe Shuts Michael Cole Down.

Pat Mcafe silenced Michael Cole, after he tried to rap. God bless you sir, every fan thanks you for this.

4. The New Day Suck.

Even Xavier Wood's family hates him, and. Kofi, for what they did to Big E, it's one thing for the fans to hate you, but your own family, well that's unforgivable.

 3. JD Mcdonaghs Injury.

Even though, i'm not the biggest fan of JD Mcdonaghs, for reasons I can't talk about on the internet, but the injury he suffered here, on this night, looked bad. He was taken to hospital afterwards.

2. So Many Rappers.

Quavo. Lil Yachty, and. 2 Chains were all seen throughout the broadcast, having a lovely old time.

1 Punk vs Cody.

I loved this ending segment. It was perfect, and the vice versa story that both men told, was awesome.

  My Top 5 Moments In TNA That Wouldn't Work Today.

         Intro.

From its inception, to breaking new ground in the world of Pro Wrestling, and creating new stars, that would go on to change the industry. From the likes of AJ Styles. Bobby Rhode. Samoa Joe, and. The Motorcity Machine Gunns, however, they've got some skeletons in their oversized closet, from Matches to moments, to some segments that went way to far. So lets go, and take a look 5 moments, that wouldn't work today.

5. Bully Ray Gets In The Face Of Christy Hemme.

I hate these type segments. In a backstage segment at the Victory Rd PPV from 2010. Bully Ray could be seen getting in the face of Interviewer Christy Hemme. I know this was completely in character, but still. I hated this then, and I don't like it now.

4. Austin Aries Gets In Christy Hemme's Face.

This took place at a house show, and it's as bad as it sounds, she mistakenly got the name of Austin Aries Tag Team wrong, when he was partnered with Bobby Rhode, he could be seen berrating her, whilst thrusting in her face. I'm not the biggest fan of Aries, and this makes me feel sick.

3 Ric Flair vs Jay Lethal.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing. These two faced each other at 2010's Victory Rd. Over the 10 years that followed, both men would be accused of abuse, and sexual assault. 

2 Mr Anderson Ass Cheeks Promo.

Victory Rd 2010 wasn't a great time piece, for the Nashville Promotion, yeah this promo is unwatchable by todays standards.

1. Claire Lynch.

This storyline was insulting to my senses, yes it gave us a great Christopher Daniels vs AJ Styles Match, but this story is highly inapropriate, and offensive to those who can't have kids. Yeah this was bad all round.

My Top 5 Five Takeaways From WWE Saturday Nights Main Event.

         Intro. 

With this being the second edition, of WWE taking us on a trip down memory lane, I had a great time watching this show. but overall what did I think of the show, well, lets take a look.

5 Please Don't Stream This Show On Youtube.

I'm not a fan of WWE Streaming on Youtube. I don't know if it's because I've become used to the Netflix way of life, or if its brought out my own hypocrisy, because I want to show ads on this page, I just think Youtube ads are annoying, and this made watching the broadcast not a great experience. 

      4 I love Jessie Ventura.

I love this man, can I have more Jessie Ventura on my TV please. Hearing this mans voice is like a nice trip back to my childhood.

3 The Contract Signing.

The Contract Signing between Cody Rhodes, and. Kevin Owens was awesome. I'm not the biggest fan of Contract Signing segments. Normally they feel forced, and pointless, but this one felt relevant, and fresh, and with the added sprinkling of HBK. I came away from this feeling very sports entertained. Well done boys.

2 Legends In Attendence.

Dory Funk Jnr. Alundra Blaze. Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and. The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase, were all seen at ringside. Seeing Jim Duggan, and. Ted Dibiase, made me feel like a child again.

1. Braun Strowman vs Jakub Fatu.

If this night made a star, then Jakub Fatu is his name. My God. This Match may have been thrown out, but it did the job. Jakub is the guy. This Match resembled two big boys, doing big boys things, and it was great.

 Top 5 Wrestlers Who Had A Never Say Die Attitude.

Intro.

Wrestlers are a special breed, that come complete with a work hard attitude, that is unparallel in their efforts, injuries can happen in a split second, and usually some individuals make comebacks in record time, so this is my list of wrestlers who brought up a never say die attitude.

5 Kenny Omega. 

From helping change the industry, with every 5 star review. To his best fight against diverticulitis, and then going on to have a Match of the year contender, against Gabe Kidd, at NJPW, and. AEW WrestleDream, earlier this month. This man literally faced death, and he kicked its arse.

4 John Cena.

In late September of 2007, the man who is supposed to be invisible, suffered an injury, seperating the pectoral muscle completely off the bone. This would set a normal athlete back at least 9 months, but mr big time returned in less time, 5 months to be precise. His comeback at the 2008 Royal Rumble is a moment in time, that no fan would go on to forget.

3 HHH.

From having to come back from two career threatening injuries, to reclaiming his spot at the top of the mountain, on two ocasions. He wasn't called The Game for no reason.

2 Bryan Danielson.

From claiming wrestlings biggest prize at Wrestlemania, in a time, when the smaller guy was an after thought, to fighting back after a series of injuries that kept him sidelined for 3 three years, to the overwhelming joy of his comeback at Wrestlemania 34. His run in AEW did see the end to his full-time in ring career, but even in those times, we proved that in life you shouldn't give up on what you want.

1 Cody Rhodes.

From getting his release from WWE, which lead to him going on to change the world, by setting fire to the indie scene, having a nice time with his friends in NJPW, which led to them shaking up the system, to him coming back at Mania 38, this lead WWE down, arguably one of its best creative states, a story started after Cody got released back in 2016, and it ended last year at Mania 40. Life is for living, and the term Pro Wrestling is here to stay, as the ashes of an awful old man, were started to get swept up in the air, and float away, never to be heard of again.

My Top Reasons Why Wrestling Is Important.

    Pure Escapism. 

For the 1st time, i'm forgoing the intro, because I don't feel it's nescicary for this piece. In life, we all have our vices, whether it's watching Downton Abbey ( my Mum ) or watching horse racing. ( my Dad ) were all differant. My vice is Pro Wrestling. ( and Comic books. Horror And Science Fiction Movies, and TV Shows ) It's just differant, and in a world, that is filled with false manifactured, stunts that get served on social media, there is just something refreshing about watching a basic form of physicality. The day to day grind can be tough, and over the top exhausting, but if you have something to look forward to, then life can be good, a wise man once said, that life moves fast, and if you don't stop once in a while, you might miss out.

Heroes And Villains.

Tom Hanks once said, that life is like a box of chocolates, Because you never know what you're going to get, well I think that's a half truth, because in life, you're always going to come across people you like, and some that you don't, so in some cases, you do know what you're going to get that's life. In wrestling this is no differant, you have the ones you like, and you cheer them on, and you boo the ones you don't. For instance i'm a big fan of Kenny Omega, and I can understand why he's not everyones favourite, and my least favourite wrestler is Charlotte Flair, but I can also understand why others like her, were all differant.

Lifelines.

It's no secret that Survivor Series 2002, and a good ear from a friend saved my life, and truth be told, if you're in that situation, then don't be scared to stand up tall, and find a way to move forward. You can do it. It's in you to succeed.

I Just Love Wrestling.

Wrestling is like listening to your favourite band, for me it's a mixture between Pearl Jam, and. Metallica. I can't explain why I love wrestling I just do. It's wrestling

     My Top 5 Times Wrestling Made Life Better.

   Intro.

I think it's easy to say, that in life we all have our ups and downs, ( slap my head ) and all we have are the things that we enjoy, these are the top 5 times wrestling has made my life better.

5 Pandemic Days.

In the times of uncertainty that the world faced, back in the early stages of 2020, wrestling made things easy for me to cope, as everything else seemed to be bleak. Knowing that I could come home, and escape into something, that was completely make believe, made me feel whole, especially when the likes of the Stadium Stampede, and the over the top Money In The Bank Match, gave me a mental break from what was going on in the world.

4 Shortened Work Hours.

Back in 2011, my work life was well out of balance, my hours were on the verge of getting cut, from the retail job, and I was in a financial hole. I'm ok now, but these times were really bleak, so one day when I got home. I went up to my room, and found an amazon Parcel on my bed. It was a TNA dvd, a double feature no doubt. Victory Road 2010, and. No Surrender 2010. And this made me feel a bit better. Kurt Angle vs Jeff Hardy anyone, now if that Match doesn't make you feel better, then I don't what to say to you.

3 Getting Bullied At School.

My school days, weren't exactly easy, due to the fact that, me, and my friends were easy targets for Bullies. I had many outlets, to release what I was going through, which came after I opened up to a friend about I was going through. Even though I grew up a massive comic book, and. Sci Fi fan. ( I still am ) It was wrestling that pulled me up from dirt, as the world, and the preasure that I was feeling, started to ease.

2. 9.11.01

This. Was A day in time, when the world turned cold, as the news unfolded. I couldn't help but feel confused, because I couldn't understand why anyone would do this. As the coming days went by. I watched the Smackdown episode, that happened 2 days after these events. And for the first time in two days. I felt normal, because I watched not just a group of fans, but a country come together, to say enough is enough. I never saw my best friend Tim cry before, until this moment, and you know what was so great about this, it was the fact that we all felt the same way.

1 Whenever Things Get Tough.

I have no other words, other what can I say, we all have our vices, mine is Pro Wrestling. I love Pro Wrestling.

My Top 5 Takeaways From Monday Night Raw.

    Intro.

I have to say. I'm enjoying WWE on Netflix. It's easy to use, and I can find things easily, in comparison to the old school network, and as for the weekly TV out put, well lets get into it.

  5 Drew Mcintyre vs Seth Rollins Fell Flat.

I was disapointed with this Match, Now don't get me wrong. I was feeling unwell when watching this, so this might play a part in my analysis, but overall I thought this was a bit of a letdown.

     4 Gunther vs Jey Uso Is Going To Be Special.

I have no other words, other than this segment was great, and I get the feeling that Jey is going to be swung around like a wet towel come Saturday.

3 Sami Zayn And Kevin Tore Apart Their Promo Segment.

Their back and forth, was superb, and as Kevins Bret Hart get up, well, as an old school Bret Hart stan, my heart skipped a beat. I loved this. Mania feud me thinks.

2 Penta Has Catherine Wheel.

Look everyone Penta has a Catherine Wheel. Am I the only person who thinks that WWE have completely Malibu Stacey'd Penta, he's still the old Penta that you love, but he has a new hat, in the shape of a Catherine wheel that is.

1 I love Cm Punk.

Like the title says. I love Cm Punk for these reasons. He completely buried an awful human being, and his beer, that no one cares about.
