My Top 5 Favourite Tag Team Matches.

Intro.

If there's one thing that i've noticed over the past couple of years. It's the fact that mainstream North American Wrestling company's are putting the empathys, back into Tag Team Wrestling, this is something, that I feel has been needed for quite some time, as teams like. DIY. The Street Profits. The Young Bucks, and. Private Party, all paving the way as the stars of today, that a newer audience will look at one day, the same way I looked at Edge and Christian, and. The Hardy Boyz. The Matches that I grew up watching, are the ones, that have stuck in my brain, as the definition of excellence, so this got me thinking, what are the greatest Tag Team Matches to ever grace, a wrestling ring? Lets have a look into my mind.

5 Edge And Christian vs The Hardy Boyz Steel Cage Match WWF Unforgiven 2000.

I love this match, the storythread that led to this, didn't exactly hit for me, but the Match delivered, and it's an underlined classic, yes, this team had better matches, but this is one of my personal favourites.

4 FTR vs The Young Bucks AEW Dynamite April 2022.

With a run time that went well over twenty minutes. I loved this Match. The speed, chemistry, and, physicality that this was performed with, is something to be marvelled at.

3 Edge And Christian vs The Hardy Boyz Ladder Match WWF No Mercy 1999.

This Match often gets called, the greatest Tag Team Match Of All Time, and I would love to here the argument as for why. My god this is a classic, and it redefined the way Tag Team matches, are worked, and perceived in the mainstream media.

2 TLC 2.

With Wrestlemania 17's main build centering around, two Matches. HHH vs The Undertaker, and. The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin, it was the 2nd endeavour of this daring Match, that Stole the show. The Hardy Boyz. Edge And Christian, and. The Dudley Boyz, all put on a show, that encapulated into a twenty minute masterpiece.

1 The Young Bucks vs Hangman Adam Page And Kenny Omega AEW Revolution 2020.

This Match acts as a timeline, for what was set to come just around the corner. to me, this is the best Tag Team Match Of All Time, putting it bluntly, this Match is pure perfection.  Enough said.

My Top 5 Joe Hendry Music Performances

5 Miley Cyrus

This actually happened, he came to the ring to face. I believe four other opponents, in a bouncy ball, and it was hilarious

4 Ethan Page Put On Some Clothes.

No truer words have ever been said about Ethan Page, other. Put On Some Clothes.

3 Hello Big Damo.

What do you get when the add Joe hendry. Big Damo, and. Hagrid from the Harry Potter Movies, and put them all together. Perfection that's what.

2 Grimsby Sucks.

I just think this is really funny, apologies if you're reading this and your from Grimsby.

1 Say His Name.

I can't say the title of this song, because if I do, then Joe Hendry will just appear from out of nowhere. I hope this makes it to Eurovision. 

My Top 5 AEW Will Osperay Matches.

Intro.

I know what you guys are thinking, but. Patrick. Will Osperay has bangers in ROH. NJPW, and other worldwide promotions, and I get that, but to me, this was when his career, really started to shift into another gear, so I decided to keep this list solely based on his AEW run, up until this point.

5 Will Osperay vs Konosuke Takeshita AEW Revolution 2024.

This. Is. One of my 10 Matches of this year, and if you watched when it happened, then you will understand why, because this is a genuine masterpiece. The physicality, the chemistry that both men showcased, and the all round execution, was simply perfect.

4 Will Osperay vs Swerve Strickland AEW And NJPW Forbidden Door 2024.

I've heard stories, about how some bad faith actors online, didn't like this Match, but I think it's an underrated lofi burner, that on the night delivered.

3 Will Osperay vs Bryan Danielson AEW Dynasty 2024.

I've heard a lot of Wrestling Journalists say that this is there Match of the year. I think this Match is exceptional, but it's not my Match of the year. The in-ring work here was beyond solid, and the match told a decent story. I just feel that this match, was missing a vital ingridient. I just don't know what that is.

2 Will Osperay vs MJF AEW All In 2024.

I'm going to be a bit biased here, because I attended this show, but for me, this was the best match on the card, it was just insane to watch, this type of high quality match in my home country. The day beforehand. I was at the AEW All In Meet Up, and I saw Will when the head of a toy company told him he has become an action figure, and he could not be more proud of this development, because his son will have a real life daddy doll. This blended in nicely with the storyline, that he, and. Maxwell were embedded in at the time. I was hooked on what was going on in front of me, from the moments that there entrances unfolded, until the very end, that saw a superb amount of near falls, and exchanges, that saw the match through to it's glorious end. This. Is. My Match of the year.

1 Will Osperay vs Kenny Omega AEW And NJPW Forbidden Door 2024.

I you haven't seen this match, then I don't know what to tell you other than, it's truly a piece of genius, performed by two of the industry's best workers.

AEW Dynamite Review 14.11.2024.

Intro.

With Full Gear just nine days away, at the time of writing. I have to say I'm fully looking forward to this PPV. I think AEW, even though it finds itself in a state of flux. is currently going through a bit of a, to use a Sci Fiction term, bit of a metamorphis, because they are currently going through changes, that in my mind, i'm enjoying very much, so with that sad I say, let the carnage begin.

Christian Cage And Hangman Adam vs Jay White And Juice Robinson.

I didn't like this, an opener. I liked the fact that it played off the back of LTS, from this Summer, but overall I thought this felt like a make good, from the bad match, that. Cage, and. White had, a few weeks ago, that wasn't very good. Nick Wayne got attacked by Hook, and. Kip Sabian helped his new dad, when he hit juice with, that awful looking version of a filefax, allowing Hangman to hit with his deadeye for the win. Yeah, i'm not sure what to make of this.

Mercedes Mone Segment.

I liked all of this, because it was set up like the reveal of a Hollywood Movie Villain. Mercedes had a go at Camille, for having bad driving skills, and then it happened. Mercedes opened up her big mouth, about. Kris Statlander, and there she stood, she started to Batter Mercedes. Camille tried to save her abusive Boss, but she got taken out as well. Statlander ended up sphering both ladies through a wall. This had me thinking of that time when Eddie kingston mugged off the J.A.S outside, an airport, because this was on sight.

Will Osperay Segment.

There's a recurring theme throughout this broadcast. The Promo duals are the strongest thing on the show, and for my money, this was the best. Will was set to be interviewed by Tony Schiavone, but, instead he called out his old mate. Kyle Fletcher, all of this was awesome, from Will disabling kyles weapon, that he had hidden, the urgentcy of family, to. Kyle trying to escape the shadow of Will Osperay, through The Damn It Don Callis. This led to Kyle challenging Will to a Match at Full Gear. Will accepted, making Kyle feel like he isn't good enough, leading him Kyle to say that, he's going to take everything away from him, Will then said that, he knew he didn't come alone. Lance Archer, and. Brian Cage, came out, but they were met by. Mark davis, and. Powerhouse Hobbs, a massive fight then ensued, that bled into the next match, as Roderick came out, and Takeshita was taken out by Ricochet at the top of the stage.

Roderick Strong vs Lance Archer No Dq. Adam Cole vs Konosuke Takeshita.

I had a lot of fun watching this at 8am in the morning. They thought in the fans, and they thought in the backstage area. The production did a good job to hide AEW's short comings, because this was a well paced fun ride, that saw. The undisputed Kingdom, save their leader from a double Chokeslam, when Brian Cage got involved, and later on Matt Taven was the sacrificial lamd, to the slaughter, when archer chokeslammed him onto a load of Security Guards, this brought forward a great final exchange, that saw Strong get the win, with a big knee. I liked all of this. Takeshista came out, and attacked Roderick. This brought out Adam Cole, and as if by magic, their match was underway. I feel this match benefitted from coming off of the back, of a red hot match. I liked all of this, all but, the finish. Takeshita used the Dynamite Gold Ring, to take out Cole, and get a clean pin, to me this was a cheap way to end a decent match. Cole won't be facing Max, at. Full Gear. It will be Strong instead, this does make booking sense, because Cole vs MJF is a solid go, for Worlds End. Strong took to the mic, at the end of his Match, and said that Max sucks.  All whilst Max laughed his ass off.

Bobby Lashley Segment.

Bobby Lashey, said, that he's going to hurt Swerve Strickland, and. MVP showed Renee Paquette how to do her job.

Deathriders Segment.

I loved all of this. Claudio, and. Pac, battered. Jd Drake, and. Mox, and. Marina Shafir, then walked through the fans, and the take over, that wasn't really a take over, begin. Marina took over the camera man position, and Mox went straight to work, and cut one hell of a promo, he said that Orange Cassidy couldn't save Chuck Taylor, and. Wheeler Yuta walked away from him, because he's gravitated towards Mox, he said at Full Gear, he's going to make an example of Cassidy, and brutalise him, because he's the AEW World Heavyweight Champion, and his crew run AEW. Orange cassidy came out, and he and Jon, had a fantastic promo dual. This. Was, a perfect way to examplify the meaning of the championship. Jon then ended things by telling Cassidy, and us at home, to abandon all hope, in the aftermath of their match. Darby Allin then took up the fight, by taking everyone out from the top of an exit, this lead to some mad capers in the car park. 

The Learning Tree.

Ishii will face Chris Jericho, in two weeks time, for the ROH Championship. Oh boy, were do I begin with this. I have no other words.

Britt Baker vs Penelope Ford.

Britt Baker, beat. Penelope Ford in a decent TV Match, and Sarena Deeb, then called her out in the aftermath. The crowd was dead for this.

Mina Shirakawa Is Back.

Mina Shirakawa is back, and this pissed off Harley Cameron. Renee Paquette then acted like my mum, when she had seperate me and brother, when we were kids. Tits vs Tits people. It's a thing. ( apparently )

Swerve Strickland vs Lio Rush.

Swerve Strickland, beat. Lio Rush, in a solid TV Match. He then took to the mic, and called out Bobby Lashley for a fight. MVP came out, with Bobby, and said, that if he wants a fight, all he has to is ask, but he needs to take one thing in mind, strength in numbers. Shelton Benjamin then attacked Swerve from behind, and this led to a great beat down. Not even Prince Nana was safe. I liked this. Swerve mate, here's a little tip, say the right name of the town in future.

Jamie Hayter Segment.

Ok what was this. Jamie Hayters segment was infused with Julia Harts return. Ok I guess.

FTR vs Kings Of The Black Throne.

I have mixed feelings about this Match. Malakai Black's NXT throwbacks fell flat, and didn't resonate with me, and i'm an NXT stan. However the later parts, fell into the terroritory of becoming a lofi banger, and it did. The near falls made sense, as they carried the physicality. Brody King won by choking out Dax Harwood.

Overview Of Aew Dynamite.

I liked this weeks Dynamite, but I didn't love it. The fans were dead throughout large parts of the show, and this hampered my viewing experience. Yes there was some good stuff on here that I enjoyed, and like I said earlier I'm looking forward to the PPV, in over nine days, but it feels inconcequential, and unimportant, which is a shame when all is considered.

This weeks Dynamite is 8/10, but only just.

 

 

Another Top 5 Kenny Omega Matches.

Intro.

If you know me, then you will know I have a love for one man. Kenny Omega. Earlier this year I wrote a top 5 list of my favourite Kenny Omega Matches, and I decided to have a go at writing another one. 

5 Kenny Omega vs Ethan Page AEW Collision December 2023.

As the standard of how TV Matches go. I think you guys should give this a watch, because this is excellent, and a sleeper hit from last year.

4. Kenny Omega vs MJF AEW Collision November 2023.

what do you get, when you put two of my favourite wrestlers in a Match together, well, perfection in my opponent. I love this Match, and it was well deserving of its 5 stars from big bad daddy Dave Meltzer.

3 Kenny Omega vs Penta AEW Dynamite October 2020.

TV Matches have a funny way of making us fans feel all kinds of emotions, and this Match did just that. I think this is one of the best TV Matches ever, in my opinion.

 2 Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada 4.

Some people say that this is the best Match, that these two have ever had, personally for me it's their first bout, that takes that prize. But this is still a great view.

1 Kenny Omega vs Tetsuya Naito G1 Climax 27 Final.

If you've never seen this Match, then I urge you to check this out, because. It's genuinely amazing. Their In-ring chemistry was amazing, and the physicality was well paced, and superb.

 How Wrestling Made Me Feel Like Myself.

Warning.

Just a heads up guys I will be discussing themes, like, bullying, and, suicide, reader discretion is advised.

School Days.

My teen years is something that I like to talk about in a joking sense, but these days, were quite trying. There's a reason why I will always stand for fairness, in everything that I do in my life. My friends were bullied badly, to the of near suicide. As a wrestling fan, I would use, watching my favourite stars, as a coping strategy. Music also helped, however this wasn't always the case, because they were my friends, I was also bullied. This would come at a time, when the WWE wasn't perticually cool, so we were basically outcasts, which made us easy targets. Even though mine was mental, and not physical. I hated how I was treated, to the point, that I thought. I wish I had a gun, and what I would do with it. So one Monday after school. I went to my friends house, and I opened up about everything that was going on. I went round to my friends house to watch that years Survivor Series,  the night after he had ordered it  on Sky Box Office, but it turned into a cryfest, but it was important, because that event, especially the main event, saved my life. And it taught me a very valuble lesson, if you're going through something bad, to the point, that your forced to question yourself in a negative light, just remember. Like one of my childhood heroes Shawn Michaels, you can get through anything.

Big Dreams And Even Bigger Arseholes.

As I got older, my fandom reached new heights. I found the same issues would resurface, this time I was in my early thirties, and my work life was nowhere were I wanted it to be. I was taking things from people that I shouldn't, and it's only now, when I look back on things. I see it for what It really was. Bullying, and it was coming from my bosses. This started to become even more amplified, and I felt there was nothing I could do, because who was going to listen to me, a sorry weak wrestling fan. I would get home, and was able to lose myself, by watching my favourite shows. WWE NXT. AEW Dynamite, and. WWE Friday Night Smackdown, and my problems would go away, just for a few hours, and then one day I realised, these people aren't worth my time, and It was in this moment, that I decided, to turn this negative, and turn it into something positive, and become an awesome Blogger. I do this for you guys.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review 12.11.2024.

Intro.

It's official. It's Survivor Series Season, and big questions are arising around the build, because I can't call what it's going to look like. Yes. The Bloodline story is the company's main focus, but that doesn't mean that. WWE should leave out all the rest. The creative needs to take a look in the mirror, as we head into the Netflix Era of the company.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Jade, and. Bianca, and. The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, were all seen showing up to the arena, ahead of their Tag Team Championship Match, later on tonight.

Gunther Segment.

I liked this. Gunther came out, and he looked like he was in a pissed off mood. He spoke about looking to the future, and outcame Damian Priest, and the pair had a great promo dual, that paid shade to their rivalry in the summer, that was held up, with the relevence of today. Priest put the sead of doubt in Gunthers head. Priest tries to tempt Gunther into a fight, but. Ludwig Kaiser then came, and. Gunther stops him. Priest then decks Kaiser after calling him street trash.

Damage Ctrl vs PFC.

Damage Ctrl, beat. The PFC, in a flat TV Match, but hey, at least Dakota Kai is back.

The Bloodline Recruitment Segments

Jimmy showed up, to his brother Jey, and. Sami, and at first he seemed pissed off, and then the focus, was put on the job in hand, finding a 5th member for their wargames team. Sami later asked Seth, to join them at Survivor Series, and the answer was No, and Jimmy asked Bron Breakker, but we didn't hear the answer. Seth later told Solo, that he wouldn't team with him, because he's a Roman wannabe.

Pete Dunne vs Kofi Kingston.

I didn't like this. It felt underwhelming, and was a storybased piece of drivel. Pete Dunne got the win, and Kofi, and Xavier continued down their route of seperation. Just get on with it guys.

The Judgement Day Segment.

Finn Balor, then put The Human Oven in his place, and next week, they will face, he and carlito, will face. Jd, and. Finn, what is the point in this.

Big Bronson Read Segment.

Big Bronson Read, then cut a promo on Seth Rollins, and just like that, as if by magic, outcame Seth Rollins, and both men engaged in a fight. Seth will face Bronson for the last time, next week. I didn't like this. I feel that Seth needs to move on at this point, because WWE haven't advanced Bronsons character forward much, over the past few months.

Ludwig Kaiser vs Damien Priest.

Damien Priest, beat. Ludwig Kaiser, in a standard, predictable TV Match, that offered nothing.

Bron Breakker Segment.

Bron Breakker wants to batter Sheamus, and. Sheamus, wants to batter Bron Breakker, perfect. The pair will face each other next week for Brons Intercontinental Championship.

The Miz Segment.

Oh hallejuah. The Miz is ok, however Karrion Kross is pissed off. The Final Testement dragged him out to the ring, and asked him, were are The Wyatt Sick, because they want revenge, for what they did to Paul Ellering, and as if by magic, they showed up, because it was all a work. The Miz attacked Eric Rowan, and a fight ensued, this was terrible, and badly scripted.

The Mulletchaser And Raquel Rodriguez vs Jade And Bianca WWE Womens Tag Team Championship Match.

I didn't like this. It, like most of the matches on this card, felt slow, and predictable. Nia and Tiffany came out, and attacked. Jade, and. Bianca, as a retaliation from last fridays Smackdown. Naomi evened out the numbers, and helped the champs retain. This. Was a poor way to end the broacast.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

As you guys have already read. I wasn't a fan of this weeks Raw. It felt predictable, and when you're going into one of your biggest PLE's of the year, putting out a show like this, just isn't good enough.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a low 3/10.
