My Wrestling Fandom

The Early Years

The one question that I get asked all the time is, why do I watch wrestling? And most of the time I answer by saying, why do you watch Soap Operas, and in some cases, god awful, eye pain inducing. Reality TV. These were the replies that I would give to my Dad, and. Brother, way back in 1994, when I discovered WCW on ITV here in the UK, when it aired on a Saturday afternoon. I would get taunted for hours, because my brother thought that the A Team was a better show, and my dad would agree, but as for me, at the age of 7 years old, and my brother who was 11 at the time, how we preceived things was pretty simple, we looked at the things we liked with differant eyes, his hero was Mr T, and mine was an Icon. Sting. I loved his flamboyantcy, and his charisma, he had a nack for telling simple stories, at a time when the industry was in semi decent state. Vince Mcmahon had just won his battle against the U.S. WCW were one year away, from going head to head with the evil empire. And the mighty red and yellow tights were being worn again, to a positive start, that turned into a closing fad, as the industry changed. Even though we didn't have Sky TV, I'd like to think that I never missed out, because I had friends, who would lend me the videotapes of the previous weeks tv shows, and PPV's, as a kid, and even now as an adult. One of my all time favourite wrestlers is Bret The Hit Man Hart, his athletic ability, and wholesome nature, was just so endearing as a kid, and on the otherside, their was Hulk Hogan, even though nowadays I think that he's a reprohensible human being, but back then he was an idol to me, until one fateful Monday evening in 1996. I was at my friend Chris's house after school, and were watching The Great American Bash, and then it happened. Hogan turned heel, he betrayed his friends in WCW, by joining. Kevin Nash, and. Scott Hall forming the rebellious faction. The Nwo. Chris's mum couldn't stop the tears, and neither could my Mum and Dad, my brother taunted me mercifully about this, because some kid in his class stayed up to watch as the events unfolded, my Mum had to try and console a pissed off 9 year old, and all my Dad could say was. Get real Patrick, none of what you're watching is real, and as a 36 year old man, he's still saying this to me all these years later.

My Teen Years

As the years went on, my interests would evolve, my love for tv, and film, would become more prevelent, whilst heavy music played on a continuous rotation, bands like Linkin Park. Korn. Metallica, and. Slipknot, would always be playing at my house, to the point that it would piss off those around me. Wrestling was still a huge part of my life. The then WWF would go down in history, as the attitude era, would enlighten fans whilst causing controversy. WCW was starting to see a downward trajectory, that would last until the company eventually closed its doors on March 26th 2001. I found a love for the harder side of the business, when I discovered Terry Funk, to me Funk was a hardcore God, and to my mum, he was a sick, and unwell person, who would leather people with 2 by 4's of barbwire set on fire, his work in ECW is looked at as legendary, as his influence can still be felt today, he gave a company legitimacy at a time when it was needed, because the story of Mas Transit still lingered in the air, as the controversy refused to go away. The WWF would emmulate this style, showcasing more violent matches into their tv programming. By the time 1998 rolled around, this would become the normal state of affairs, as. Vince Mcmahon would battle with television networks, and the. FCC, over what wasn't acceptable on his shows. As a fan nowadays. I have mixed feelings about the attitude era, but I will never forget the memories. This was also a golden time for catchphrases, two of my favourite wrestlers all time are. The Rock, and. Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the phrases they coined, would go on to make the WWF millions, then, now, and forever. Their merch sales still put them in the ten top earners in the company, even till this day, and to say that as a 12 year old, that I loved it was an understatement.

Adult Me

Well as you can tell, not a lot has changed. I'm still a big Science Fiction and   comics fan, and my love for the wrestling industry has gone from, strength to strength, even if it has had to undergo some well needed changes, due to entitled men thinking it's ok to act like dirt bags. It hasn't killed my interest in what I love, because if you have a vision in life, then, no matter what happens you owe it to yourself to see it through, my big dream is to take this blog to Wrestlemania, akin to the likes of Whatculture. I want to be the guy who meets fans, at fan events, and hear your stories, because to me. That's what it's all about. We love anything fight related, It's in our dna, and you can't change that.

 

 

Aew Dynamite Review 6.6.2024

Update

No intro today guys, instead I have an update. Tommorow I will be starting work on my third specialist piece. I'm not sure what i'm going to call it, but's going to be about my fandom in wrestling. So keep your eyes pealed for that, coming soon to a blogsite near you.

MJF is back

The Broadcast kicked off, with its main highlight in my opinion. Daddy's back, and he was on fine form, he wasted no time putting the likes of. Kazuchika Okada. Will Osperay, and. Swerve Strickand on notice, by using his own versions of their catchphrases, to outright bodyshaming. Max spoke with passion, and praised The Elite, now that TK is gone, ( umm, no he isn't ) people should now stop rehashing his history. Rush came out, and the pair had a back and forth promo dual, which ended in a pull a part brawl, because my friends. MJF is back, and he's better than all of us combined, and we know it. I loved this segment. Welcome back Max, things are going to get interesting now that your home.

Orange Cassidy vs Kyle O'reilly vs Jay Lethal vs Rey Fenix

This. Was. A fantastic opening match, the energetic bursts shown by all 4 men, sold the match, and it was a pleassure to watch, that had great moments, like, double submission holds. Kyle O'reilly and Jay Lethal, taking me back to mid noughties ROH, and of course Rey Fenix getting the win by roll up. Trent Barretta came out with. Damn It Don Callis, and he and cassidy threatened to have a chair vs chain fight, that was stopped by Kris Statlander. Stokeley Hathaway came out, and said that Kris is going to take out the trash, whilst putting over his distain for the piece of fruit. Satlander slapped Cassidy, and. Willow Nightingale came out to make the save. Cassidy would thank her later, in a backstage segment with renee paquette. Willow wasn't happy.

The Learning Tree

Ok. I'm going to be honest. I don't know what to make of any of this. All of this ran as a episode thread, and I don't think it worked. It felt very WWE to me, the jokes weren't funny, and the insults felt flat. I have nothing else to say. Private Party run, run as fast as you can, for the love of everything that is midcard run.

TNT Championship Match Qualifier Mark Briscoe vs Brian Cage

Adam Pearce, oops sorry. I mean. Christopher Daniels announced that we were going to have, an on the fly Championship qualifier match, for the TNT Championship. Mark Briscoe, beat. Brian Cage in a solid tv match outing. Jack Perry told us what he thought, whilst. Damn it Don Callis, and. Konosuke Takeshista watched from the fans.

Hook and Samoa Joe Segment

Hook, and. Samoa Joe were being interviewed backstage by Renee Paquette, and. The Premier Athletes took issue with Hook's, and my favourite snack. Ok that's it Premier Athletes, what have you against crisps, just because I love a good bag of cheese and onion, doesn't mean i'm unfit alright. I hope these guys get wrecked, for crisp lovers all over the world.

The Acclaimed get cancelled ( well kind of )

The Young Bucks stopped Max's Castors rap, before it could even kick in, on the grounds of making fun of his new bosses, this went down like a led balloon. Yeah. The Acclaimed were'nt happy with this. The Bucks did their best impersonation of Oprah Winfrey, when it came to the patriarchy. Cage isn't getting a shot at the main prize anytime soon.

Daniel Garcia video

We then got a video showcasing the hardwork, and struggles of Daniel Garcia. This. Was. An excellent look into the life of a person, who has given everything, to achieve this dreams. I liked all of this.

The Bcc vs Team CMLL

I liked all of this, it acted like a perfect blend of styles meshing together. The Bcc got the win, this was my match of the night, by a clear country mile. Danielsons promo afterwards, was sensational.

Marieh May vs Saraya

I had a lot of fun watching this, the match was solid, and had decent physicality. Saraya got the win. And Toni Storm who was on commentary, and a nice chest interaction with. Mina Shiakawa. Ok Patrick get your mind back on your work.

Swerve Strickland vs Roderick Strong Aew World Heavyweight Championship

Even though parts of this match, did fall a bit short, it was enjoyable. Swerve, and. Roderick Strong have great chemistry, and it took a while for this match to shift into second gear, but when it did mesh, it meshed. Swerve retained, ande he and Nana partied with a Nana, man she looked so happy.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite

I had a great watching this weeks Dynamite. I saw the discourse online hasn't received this weeks episode very well, and I do understand the complaints. I just feel that you should, enjoy what you enjoy.

This weeks Aew Dynamite is solid 7/10.

 

Monday Night Raw Review 4.6.2024

Intro

Agh, yes bonny Scotland, the home of the deep fried Mars Bar, Iron Bru, and of course, the awful 1996 euro's national football team, but. Scotland can be proud of one thing, the next WWE PLE is coming from their shores. It's already looking poised to be Drews homecoming, as the rest of the card is set to show the world, that the undercard is just as important.

Liv Morgan Segment

I'm not sure what to make of this opening segment. Liv Morgan came out, and welcomed us to her revenge tour. She bragged about how she's injured Rhea, and potentially retired Becky Lynch, and there's her smooch with. The Human Oven. The oversized heat machine came out, to a chorus of boos. He put over the fact that, Liv means nothing to him, and that mami is going to kill her, this just increased Liv's flirting. Finn Balor told her to leave The Oven alone. Liv leaves, fantasing about. The Human Ovens long hairy mullet. I think Liv is a mullet chaser, she loves those mullets. I think they do something to her. The Judgement Day running the show, would become a show long theme, throughout the broadcast.

Sheamus vs Ludwig Kaiser

I liked this, from the Irish Warriors promo beforehand being based on respect, to the match, being performed at a solid pace. Ludwig took on the role of dominator in the early going, but it was Sheamus who got the win, after showing real fighting spirit. 

Finn Balor vs Dragon Lee

Finn Balor, beat. Dragon Lee, in a solid tv match, thanks to a whole load of. Judgement Day. Braun Strowman, and. Lwo shenanigans.

R Truth Segment

R Truth, was backstage trying to give Carlito some advice about the Judgement Day. Oh R Truth, will you ever learn. The Miz is right, they were the worst days off your life.

Sami Zayn segment

I liked all of this. Sami Zayn wasted no time in calling out Chad Gable, but instead, he was met by. Maxxine Dupri. Otis, and. Tazawa, Maxxine read out a statement from Chad, the message was humiliating, and it was used to degrade, and be little his stable. Sami then said, that if Chad wants a shot at his belt, then he can have one at. Clash At The Castle. He then gave them some advice. Leave Chad Gable, Chad attacked Sami from behind. Otis, again sold the look of confliction, as their tormentor continued his assault on Sami. Otis got the rest of the Alpha Academy out of the ring. Chad would act like a narsacist backstage, praising his stable with nicities after this.

Ricochet vs Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker, then wrecked. Ricochet, yeah, there's not much to write home about here. I guess that'll teach Adam Pearce to not put him in the King Of The Ring Tournament.

Natalya vs Kiana James

Kiana James, beat. Natalya, in a decent showing, for her debut match on one of WWE's flagship shows.

Braun Strowman vs Carlito

Braun Strowman, beat. Carlito, in a flat tv match, thanks to even more. Lwo, and Judgement Day Shenanigans. But the most interesting moment, was when Liv Morgan, saved her mullet lover from getting wrecked, after Braun punched through a steel stair attempt. I cried laughing at this whole dibacle, whilst also feeling like. Man i'm so lonely. Patrick just stop eating Haribo then.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair segment

We then got a visit over from the blue brand, when. Jade Cargill, and. Bianca Belair showed up, after being invited last week by. Shayna Baszler, and. Zoey Stark. Cargill and Belair, wasted no time, and called out the no1 contenders. Shayna, and. Zoey came out, and both teams had a pathetic promo dual. Shayna, and. Zoey, wanted a match right there and then for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Adam Pearce liked this idea, and made the match official. The match was thrown out when. Alba Fyre, and Isla Dawn got involved. I didn't like any of this.

Damien Priest and Drew Mcintyre face off

Drew Mcintyre, and. Damien Priest, then had a facing off backstage, whilst Priest, was being Interviewed backstage.

Jey Uso Segment

I loved all of this. Jey spoke from within the fans, he thanked them for sticking by him on his journey, and he declared himself for the Money In The Bank mens match. This was brilliant, the production here was spot on.

Lyra Valkyria Segment

Lyra Valkyria then declared herself for the Womens Money In The Bank match, and was then attacked by Iyo Sky, oh well at least she's not attacking Ikea lamps this week.

New Day vs Aop

Aop, beat. The New Day, and my god this made me scratch my head, yeah I didn't like this.

Rey Mysterio vs Damien Priest

I liked this. Rey Mysterio didn't show his age in this match, the flow was decent, and the physicality was great. Yes, there was plenty of shenanigans, but it blended in nicely. Priest got the win, with his South Of Heaven chokeslam.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw

I had a great time watch this weeks Raw at 6.30am, the show was a lot of fun, even though it had its down points.

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

 

Aew Collision Review 3.6.2024

Tony Schiavone Interviews Ftr

The Show kicked with an in ring interview, when. Tony Schiavone spoke to Ftr. I loved this segment. Cash Wheeler thanked the fans, whilst feeling the embarrassment of losing the Anarchy In The Arena match, against. The Elite, but he's not dead yet, because. The Elite would have to kill them, in order to stop them. Dax Harwood then took the mic, and from the strength of self doubt, he's asked himself, is all of this worth it, and his answer was yes, because he would give his all for the cause that is Aew, and everyone who works for the company, all of this was great, and Jack perry's promo afterwards, was simply excellent, he loves the company, so why is he trying to bring it down?

Roderick Strong vs Lio Rush

I liked this. From Matt Taven looking cold, in the middle of June. Lio giving a great showcase for himself, and. Roderick getting the win, with his End Of Heartache finishing move. He then went on the hunt for Tony Khan, in the only he knows how. Toooooony. I want a title match against Swerve, so he could go to Forbidden Door, and beat Will Osperay. Tony loved this idea, so he booked the match for this wednesdays edition of Dynamite. Mjf 's returning segment, and now this. Wednesday is starting to look tasty.

Daniel Garcia and Katsuyori Shibata vs The Workhorsemen

I'm going to be honest I was bored watching, until the final 3 minutes, that saw. JD Drake perform an awesome looking moonsault, and. Shibata putting Anthony Henry in a submission hold for the win. You could say this was a mix bag.

Stokeley Hathaway and Kris Statlander segment

Kris Statlander, and. Stokeley Hathaway, had some words for Willow Nightingale, she belongs in a bin, because she's trash. I used to really like you Stokeley. I know longer want to see you on my tv screen. Boo hss boo. Statlander is going to wreck some fools.

Thunder Rosa vs Reina Dorada

Even though this was over way to soon, in order for it to be taken seriously. I think it's great to see two of Mexico's greats, put their styles on show. Thunder Rosa got the win, and called out Deonna Purrazzo. I love watching Thunder Rosa work. And I think her ceiling is slowly starting to get higher again.

Cage Of Agony vs Danny Rose. Ricky Gee, and KM

Cage Of Agony, beat these jobbers in a predictable match, also in the words of Mr T. I pity the fools who mess with the Cage Of Agony sucker.

Toni Storm and Marieh May segment from Rampage

Ok. I have to admit it. the chin, tits and shoe line, did make me laugh, but making fun of Saraya's past, that includes accounts of domestic violence, should not be said for a cheap pop, because sensitive issues like this are no laughing matter. 

Claudio Castagnoli vs Johny TV

Claudio Castagnoli, beat. Johny TV in a solid fun match. I'm getting sensational Sherri vibes from Taya Valkarye.

Premier Athletes Vingnette

The Premier Athletes, are putting me to shame. There in the gym working out, and i'm on my second bag of more to share Haribo. Man I feel Guilty.

Lee Moriarty and Shane Taylor vs West Coast Wrecking Crew

Lee Moriarty, and. Shane Taylor, beat. The West Coast Wrecking Crew, in a standard tv match, but it was funny watching Antony Agogo, have a stairing contest with a child. 

The Iron Savages

Killswitch, then murdered the Iron Savages. God Bless you Killswitch, for getting these annoying idiots off of my tv screen.

Will Osperay vs Kyle O'reilly Aew International Championship

This. Was. One of the best tv matches of the year. In a market that keeps shifting the goal posts. Both men gave everything they had. From the slow start, that allowed the match to have time to breathe, so it could turn into a barnburner. This is the best that Kyle O'reilly has looked since joining Aew. Both men counteracting each others moveset was a joy to see, this allowed the final exchanges to remind me of 2016 ROH, in all the best ways possible. Will hit Kyle with the storm driver for the win. Swerve Strickland gave a pre recorded video message taking shots at both Will, and. The master of neck strong, to take the show off the air.

Aew Collision Overview

This. Was. A. Solid broadcast, and a great Sunday night treat. The in ring action went from, decent, to execllent, to brilliant, and as the summer heats up, these broadcasts are going to be very important.

Aew Collision is a solid 9/10.

 

Smackdown Review

Intro

With. WWE. Clash At The Castle, and. Aew. Forbidden Door, both falling within weeks of one another. This June is already shaping up to be a great month. And with. Money In The Bank, and . Aew All In at Wembley Stadium, ( a show in which I will be attending ) I think it's safe to say, that sometimes it's good to be a wrestling.

Queen Nia's Corination

All hail. All hail. Queen Nia, a you suck chant broke out. Nia lapped up the boos from the fans, and wasted no time in calling out the Womens Champion Bayley. The Role Model came out, but was swiftly decked from behind by. Piper Niven, and. Chelsea Green. Piper stood face to face with Jax, as her friend, the walking karen Chelsea Green, said that Piper would be champion before her. Jax laughed and told them, that she doesn't care who's champion, because she's going to eNialate whoever holds it. This pissed off Naomi in a backstage segment later on. Prompting Nick Aldis to them in a tag match, against Niven, and. Green, later on. I liked this.

Nick Aldis and AJ Styles Segment

Nick Aldis, had a meeting with AJ Styles. LA Knight wanted to know what it was about. He then said that he wants to be the next in line to face, the walking sale sign Logan Paul. Carmelo Hayes then stepped into shot, to continue his taunting party of Knight. I have to say. I like these two having little verbal words with each other, yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah.

Tomasso Ciampa vs Austin Theory

Tomasso Ciampa, beat. Austin Theory. In a story driven tv match. I love DIY, but this match didn't work for me. Theory, and. Waller, aren't long for this world as a team are they.

Apollo Crews vs Andrade

Apollo Crews, got fed to Andrade in a flat and boring tv match. I like Apollo Crews, and to see him get used like this, is just shameful in my opinion. The match was story driven to the point of no return, thanks to Angel being a devious little bastard. Apollo saw right through this, and went for him later on, whilst. Santos loved what he saw. ( i'm being sarcastic )

The Bloodline segments

There's a lot to unpack here so i'm going to marry it together. If I could describe The Bloodline in terms of music, that would be easy. Solo is being played by Dwayne like a puppet, so. Master Of Puppets by Metallica is appropriate, and with all the lies he's telling, and how he's becoming empowered from violence, both. Victimised, and. Lies Greed Misery, by. Linkin Park, would be good choices. This segment focused on Pauls worry from within the faction, and he thinks that Solo, has no direction, or stratergy, after hiring his own extended family, as mercinaries, as random acts of violence have become their new normal for the faction, getting off on the misery of others. This is very much like my favourite film. A Clockwork Orange, and. Solo is slowly becoming Alex Delarge, leading around his family, like a pack of droogs. Paul reminded Solo, that. Cody has to be weakened. Solo told him we are handling it. Paul asked who's we? Solo ordered the wiseman, to out and talk to Kevin Owens, who's music had started playing. Kevin came out, he told the fans that after last week. Randy Orton is at home recouperating, after his King Of The Ring Final match against Gunther. Paul Heyman came out, and spoke with worry, he agreed with the fans, because he also wants Roman back, because he can see the decay in front of eyes, he wants to talk to kevin, one on one, out of fear for the former Prizefighter. Paul put over, just how scary The Bloodline has become. KO fired back with passion, as Pauls concern fell on death ears, from a human aspect Heyman showed compassion, whilst the worry came through his voice, that made him sound like a child. KO stunned him, just to shut him up. Solo came out, with his gang, and the look on Pauls face said everything. KO stood alone, that was until The Street Profits showed up, to even the numbers. The Tag Match followed, and it was a lofi banger, that worked well in a tv setting. Ford, and. Dawkins, have great chemistry with the Tonga Boys, this was a well received piece of work. The Tonga boys have been portrayed perfectly, their menacing statues have been focused on, to within an inch of their life. Tama, and. Tonga got the win. More of this please.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair segment

Jade Cargill, and. Bianca Belair stood their ground, against. Indi Hartwell. Yeah, do one Indi.

Bayley and Naomi vs Chelsea Green and Piper Niven

Chelsea Green, and. Piper Niven beat. Bayley, and. Naomi in a well worked tv match. I want this feud to end quickly.

Aj Styles Fake Retirement segment

This. Was. A great segment. Mark Henry came out, and announced his retirement from the business. Corey Graves talked from the heart, about his experiences with Mark, and he had nothing but praise for him. Gallows, and. Anderson stood in his corner, to take their flowers. From fake tears, to him putting over the importance of family, he called out John Cena, he thanked John, but when the two celebrated together. Mark attacked John, putting an end to this faused excellent dream segment. Replace the name Mark Henry, and replace it with AJ Styles, and John Cena, with Cody Rhodes, and then you get what i'm aiming this at. The boy from Georgia has done good.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown

Going forward, the weekend reviews will be seperate, just so I can focus on the views, so with that said. I liked this edition of weekly tv. The Matches went from good to solid, and the promos stole the show.

This weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a decent 8/10.

Aew Dynamite Review 30.5.2024

Update

There's no intro this time, instead i've a blog update. Over the next few weeks there's going to loads of specialist content coming. From small lists, to my love of Pro Wrestling. This is because. I think it's time for me to open up a bit, and give you the reader a look into the mind of the writer.

C.E.O celebration segment

The show kicked off in the style of Cool And The Gang. Mercedes Mone celebrating her Championship win, come on. I liked this segment. She  laid into. Willow Nightingale verbally on the mic, and said, that she warned her about her so called friends, but, what came next, had me scratching my head thinking, oh well that's something, when Skye Blue showed up on the big screen, she showed the footage of when Mercedes got attacked, and revealed that it was her. It was her Mercedes. It was her all along. Skye then attacked mercedes from behind. Tony Khan then announced via Tony Schiavone, that. Mercedes will defend her belt against Skye, later on in the broadcast.

Swerve Strickland vs Killswitch

This. Was. A high on physicality chopfest, that both men gave their all in. Swerve got the win in this quickpaced opener. This was a co promotion match with The House Of The Dragon.

Jon Moxley segment

Ok. I'm convinced this man is crazy, but. I do respect this man, because he's the defintition of a fighting champion, he went on to beat. Rocky Romero in a solid hard hitting outing, that screamed. If you hit me, then I will hit you back harder.

TV Time With The Learning Tree Chris Jericho

I have to say. This wasn't unwatchable. I walked over to my dog Jane last night, and told her. I'm The Learning Tree, and she looked at me, with a facial expression, that said. You're an idiot, and i'm going to go and play with my beer bottle queaky toy. Tony Schiavone didn't give two f**** , as he couldn't hide his distain, Big Bill welcomed out his mentor, and he was on full annoying mode form here. He thanked fans for making his new t shirt the no1 sold item on Aewshop. com. I'm not going to buy that hideous shirt. He brought out Brian Keith, who did his best Rodney Dangerfield, by saying that Jericho gets no respect. He put over all of Chris's achievements, that got a shut the f*** up chant. He then showed his Oprah hand, you give him no respect, and you give him no respect. Big Bill then called Keith the bad apple. Jericho called out Hook. The chisled one walked out, to be stopped by Samoa Joe, he walked away with joe, because both men exist in their own time.

Stephanie Vraquer

Stephanie Vraquer is on her way to Aew, and I can't wait to see who she faces.

Damn It Don Callis

Damn It Don Callis was up next, and he had a contract for the Don Callis Family, for. Orange Cassidy, he came out. And flat out refused to join his Family, he ripped up the contract. This pissed off Don. Kris Statlander, and that no good. Stokeley Hathaway came out. Stokeley proclaimed his hatred for the piece of fruit, whilst Kris accepted the position for Cassidy. Trent Barretta then attacked Cassidy, and accepted the position, he put a beating on Cassidy, that would have a lasting impact into the main event. Statlander is in business for herself. It's official people.

Daniel Garcia segment

Daniel Garcia, then promised a heel turn, and called out Will Osperay, for a shot at his International Championship.

Mercedes Mone vs Skye Blue

Mercedes Mone, retained her TBS Championship against Skye Blue, in a solid tv match outing.

The Elite Segment

Were do I begin with this. Pressents Tournaments. Christopher Daniels, and. Adam Copeland being stripped of the TNT Championship. All of this was great. The Bucks gave Okada, a stunning looking Lambogini, and. Jack Perry, the TNT Championship. They told us that. Adam Copeland has been stripped of the belt. This pissed off Christopher Daniels. Who announced that Tony Khan has given him a new job. He's an evp, ( I think ) and if Perry wants a shot a shot at the belt, he's going to have to go through other competitors, when the tournament begins in two weeks time. With the final being at forbidden door, in a ladder match. The Acclaimed came out, to even the numbers. I liked this. And leaving the prospect of a ladder match, sounds great.

Casino Gauntlet Match

Will Osperay, beat. Jay White. Pac. Mistico. Shota Umano.Claudio Castagnoli. Lio Rush. Orange Cassidy, and. Hechicero. In a flawless gauntlet match. Will had a face to face with Swerve to end the show. In a holys*** moment. I need this match in my life. Just hook it to my veins.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite

I enjoyed this weeks Dynamite, even though it didn't feel like a show that comes hot off the heels, of a well received PPV, but. I enjoyed this.

This Weeks Dynamite is a solid 7/10.

 

 

Monday Night Raw Review 28.5.2024

superstars showing up

Liv Morgan, and. Becky Lynch were seen showing up to the venue.

Intro

With WWE's latest trip to Saudi Arabia, now just a memory in the rearview mirror of life. It's full speed ahead to Glasgow, and. Clash At The Castle. The Card is already starting to look good, and it's nowhere near completion, however. With the scottish fans on hand, the show is sure to be unforgettable.

Ludwig Kaiser Segment

Ludwig Kaiser opened up the show, standing in the centre of the ring, he welcomed his Imperium leader out to the ring. The fans chanted, we want Randy. Gunther spoke to the fans with class, and wasted no time in calling out Damien Priest, for a title shot at Summerslam. He said that he stepped in to give the Intercontinental Championship some prestige, and take it to new heights, whilst Priest took shortcuts. Priest came out, flanked by the rest of his Judgement Day Family. Priest told the ring General, that he cashed in his briefcase, after earning it in a ladder match, and if. Gunther wanted to be taught a lesson, but. Gunther rejected this, and told priest, that he will protect this industry. Priest put over Gunthers achievements. The Ic belt needed to have a breath of fresh air. And Gunther was that in every way. Priest touched on this. Drew Mcintyre came out, to keep this promotrain on the tracks. He continued to talk about Cm Punk, and the fact that he will be the new Heavyweight Champion, when WWE touches down in Glasgow, in just over three weeks time. He told Priest to keep his eye on the prize, and ignore his Judgement Day Family, and all of their mess ups. He took Priest on a trip through WWE's history of UK Champions, ( or lack their of ) and his achievements, he said that Priest doesn't know what he's in for when he walks out in Scotland. Drew told him how the fans will be rabid, whilst. Priest took jibes at Drews wife. Both men took shots at getting under each others skin. Braun Strowman beat Jd Mcdonagh in shenanigans filled match, he completely battered him, this, and the decention within The Judgement Day, were through storylines, that ran throughout the broadcast. The promotrain was a slog to get through, because the concept has been bastardised to death.

Liv Morgan Segment

Liv Morgan, told. Kathy Kelley, that she's got no regrets, after how she beat Becky on Saturday, more on her, and. The Human Oven Later.

Ricochet vs Ilja Dragunov

This. Was. Decent, until that walking bulldog. Bron Breakker came, and sphered Ricochet out of his wrestling boots. Bron, like me I think is a massive Blink 182 fan, because this pissed off Adam Pearce, whilst. The Bulldog, smiled like a Cheshire Cat.

Aewsome Truth Ice Cream Men

Miz, and. R Truth, were both loving some Van Halen, because their Ice Cream men. The New Day showed up, asking about title oppotunities. Karrion Kross showed up, and tried to tease a New Day seperation, which pissed off. Kofi Kingston, when. Kross aimed his olive branch to Xavier woods. AOP would then wreck The Crede Brothers, in a flat tv match.

Rey mysterio segment

Rey Mysterio, then cut a promo on Carlito, that probably left that apple chomping bastard thinking, ooh i'm so scared.

Sheamus Return Segment

Sheamus is back, and he's wasting no time in calling out Ludwig Kaiser, for his King Of The Ring loss, to. Gunther. He said that he's done with him, for running his mouth. Ludwig showed on the screen, and put the blame on the Irishman. This. Angered the Irish brawler, to the point that he hunted down the Imperium man. Ludwig caught him, and jumped him from behind. A fight broke out, both men brawled onto the stage. Officials had to seperate them. I liked all of this.

Kairi Sane vs Lyra Valkyria

Lyra Valkyria, beat. Kairi Sane, and. Iyo Sky then took out her anger, on an Ikea Lamp, what has that lamp ever done to her.

Rey Mysterio vs Carlito

Rey Mysterio, beat. Carlito, in a Judgement Day shenanigans led match. This. Was. A lot of fun.

Chad Gable segment and Otis vs Bronson Reed

Chad Gable, was backstage, berrating Tazawa, for not being in Saudi Arabia, and insulting Maxxine dupri. He then told Otis, that in order to get back in his good books, he would have to beat. Bronson Reed. Otis would go on to lose the match, that I dubbed. The Battle Of The Big Lads. Thanks to Chad Gable. Chad, then proceeded to humiliate him in the worst way possible. He took off his belt, and tried to whip him. Maxxine would stop him, and Sami zayn would come out, to take the stand against the bully, he would call him a small, weak, little man. Chad would attack Sami, and Otis would sell the look of confliction perfectly. He pulled Sami off from him, and he walked away with his tormentor. The fans were fully on the side of Otis. I liked all of this

Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark Segment

Shayna Baszler, and. Zoey Stark, were caught backstage dragging about being able to meet the tag champs. Alba Fyre, and. Isla Dawn took issue with this, and is Sonya Deville becoming a Manager? She told Shayna, and. Zoey in the words of Gren Day. Nobody likes them, everyone hates them, their all off without them, having fun.

Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch WWE Womens Championship Steel Cage Match

I had a lot of fun watching this. The was filled  Judgement Day shenigans, and great physicality. The Human Oven came out, and accidentally had cage door fun. Braun found JD, and Liv eacaped for the win, when he got launched into the cage door by Braun Strowman, that hit Becky, and Liv just walked out, to retain her belt.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw

The big question that has come after this weeks Monday Night Raw is, what will the future of Becky Lynch look like? Her contract expires this Saturday. And she will be a free agent. I don't think that she's going anywhere, but if she did move to Aew, the match possibilities could be endless. Jamie Hayter. Thunder Rosa. Serena Deeb, and. Britt Baker could all be appeteising prospects.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is decent 7/10.
