Top 5 Celebrity Appearances In Wrestling That Are Questionable Knowing What We Now Know.

Intro. 

Celebrities have always had a place in the Pop Culture mainframe, and wrestling is no differant, but not all of these individuals are the image of perfection. With multiple scandals surrounding these individuals, these moments have not aged well.

5 U.S President Donald Trump Various. 

Donald Trump has had an interesting time with He Who Shall Not Be Named former empire. From Wrestlemania 4 and 5, being held at Trump Plaza. Mania 23, he over saw the headshaving of an awful human being, to guest hosting Monday Night Raw In  June of 2009. None of these moments have aged well, given what we know about this narscasistic human being.

4 Kid Rock Monday Night Raw June 2000.

Oh my, were do I begin with this. Homophobic, transphobic, waste of human exscrament. His performance of American Badass, was used as The Undertakers entrance theme until December of that year, when the WWF changed it to Rollin by LimpBizkit. Kid Rock over the past decade has come under fire for supporting Donald Trump, and has said some horrific things in the wake of Budweisers deal with Dylan Mulvaney. I don't stand for any form of phobia.

3 Mike Tyson.

This Man has a catalogue of controversies suurrounding him, but it's prison sentence for Sexual Assault that lasted from 1989-1994 that has placed him on this list. I get that placing him on the build for Wrestlemania 14, facing off with Stone Cold Steve Austin was a business masterstroke, but tact needed to be the main focus, and It wasn't. Even though as a boxing fan. I'm admirer of Iron Mikes. I don't condone what he was put in prison for.

2 P Diddy.

P Diddy, at Wrestlemania 29. With all of the accusations surrounding this man at the time writing, this hasn't aged well at all.

1 Jared The Subway Guy.

This Guy. Made multiple adverts with John Cena for Subway, and yeah, none of this aged well. Jared is serving time in a Federal Prison for crimes against Children. Enough said.

AEW Collision Review 17.11.2024.

Intro.

As the year starts to wind down. I sit here on a Sunday Morning having just Watched, AEW Guns And Roses montage package, and the main thoughts that ran through my mind, was, wow, the year has gone by quick. AEW Full Gear is next Saturday, and I have to say. I'm looking forward to this PPV. Dynamite this week, may have fallen by the wayside, in terms of quality, it hasn't detered my enjoyment of the product, that has been coming out, on a weekly basis.

Marieh May And Anna Jay Seen Showing Up.

AEW, then tried to take the piss out of WWE, by having to of their stars, in Anna Jay, and. Marieh May, show up to the arena.

Mina Shirakawa vs Harley Cameron.

I didn't like this. The Match fell very flat, and never recovered. Mina got the win, and she will have a celebration with Marieh next week, at Full Gear.

Daniel Garcia vs Johnny TV.

This. Is. Another Match, that fell flat to me, and never recovered. Jack Perry Kidnapping Daddy Magic, was a highlight, but that's it. The physicality was predictable, and the match stagnated as a result. Garcia got the win, and we were shown Perry attacking Magic, he tried to take him for a ride, but this backfired, and Garcia, caught up with Perry, and they flipped reversed the script, and took Postman Perry for a ride. The Match wasn't very good, but this had me laughing.

Lio Rush Segment.

Lio Rush, is looking to the future, and you know what I don't blame him, because he's ace, and he's seven years younger than me. Which is amazing, in my opinion.

Shelton Benjamin vs Kommander.

I didn't like this. The Match felt clunky, and it's a shame, because this had a lot of promise. Shelton got the win, and then he and MVP tried to unmask kommander, which led to Alex Abrahantez, to get flawed by MVP, who also had a few words with Max Castor, later on.

Kris Statlander Segment.

I have no other words, other than. Hikaru Shida vs Kris Statlander, yes please.

Powerhouse Hobbs vs Bronson.

Powerhouse Hobbs, beat. Bronson of the Iron Savages, in a squash Match, that was flat, but also resembled two big men slapping meat.

Roderick Strong Has Some Words For MJF.

Roderick Strong, then had a backstage segment with Renee Paquette, and he had some words for Max, and all I can say is this. I think this match could be a sleeper hit, at the PPV.

Tag Team Full Gear Qualifier.

The Acclaimed, beat. Rush, and. The Beast Mortas, in a decent TV Match. Jake Roberts had fun, giving Max Castor a right hook, to the back of the head. Max's pre Match rap cut to the gut, and. The Acclaimed got the win, completing the four way, for the PPV next weekend. I liked this.

The Conglomeration Segment.

Ishii, has no words for Chris Jericho, so Mark Briscoe, and Rocky Romero, took up the fight, and all I have to say is this. God Bless you gentlemen.

FTR Segment.

FTR vs The Outrunners, at a later date, yes please. They want Gold. No, don't seperate from my guys The Outrunners. I might cry if this happens, because everything should be about The Outrunners.

AEW Womens Championship No Dq Match Marieh May vs Anna Jay.

I liked all of this. From Nigel Mcguinness's jealousy, when Marieh May rested on Tony Schiavone, after the chaos had started. Both ladies had fun with Ladders, and trash can fun. Marieh whipped Anna like a goverment Mule. Deonna Purrazzo, and. Taya Valkarye, were seen watching on, as the violence ensued. Marieh's transition into a table spot, was a bit awkward, but that's what made it so endearing. Marieh May, then got suplexed onto a guardrail bed. Anna turned to her old friend Barbwire, and tried to mane May, with her Queenslayer submission hold, this allowed May to hit Jay with her Storm Zero finisher. Mina Shirakawa then came to celebrate, and all was right with the world. ( I think )

Jon Moxley Segment.

I loved this Segment. I'm currently enjoying were AEW is taking Jon's direction. I understand that not everyone has liked this, but I think it's revived some good energy in the company. Cassidy, and. Mox Next Weekend, is going to be a sight to be seen.

November Rain Montage.

AEW, then showed a video montage of Novembers best moments, soundtracked to November Rain, by. Guns And Roses. This was perfect. I liked all of this, and it was a great way to end the broadcast. As you can also tell. I love Guns And Roses.

Overview Of AEW Collision.

I thought this broadcast was an uneven mix-bag, that has me feeling quite pleased having just watched it. The Promos went from poor to good, and the in-ring work followed that same pattern.

This weeks AEW Collision is a mid 7/10.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

Intro.

With the flatlining disaster that was Monday Night Raw, in the rearview mirror of life. It was time to take a look at Paul Leveques, proper endeavour into the world of Cinema. Cheers Papa H. 

Superstars Seen Showing Up

Naomi. Nia Jax, and. The Motorcity Machine Gunns, were all seen showing up to the arena, ahead of their Championship Matches, later on in the show.

Cody Rhodes Segment.

I liked all of this. Cody came out, and he didn't do his normal bask in the fans, he looked like he was in a differant mood than normal, and then all was revealed, he called out Kevin Owens. But, he was met by Nick Aldis, who informed Cody, that because of KO's actions last week, against. Randy Orton, he has told KO, to stay away from Smackdown for this week. Nick told Cody, that he can't let him go into business for himself, because if he did, it would feel like he would be letting the inmates run the asylum. Cody then explained the relevence of family, and how he feels about Randy Orton, he told Aldis, that the ball is in his court, as he walked out to end the segment. I liked all of this. KO Answered this back perfectly later on, via a video message.

OG Bloodline Segment.

Jey, and. Jimmy Uso, and. Sami Zayn, were backstage waiting on Roman, this was a superb episode long run through thread.

WWE Womens United States Championship Tournament.

Bayley, beat. Candace Lerae, and. B-Fab, to advance even further in the tournament. I didn't like this. It felt a bit predictable to me.

LA Knight Segment.

My guy LA Knight was out next, to host an open challenge. His promo beforehand, stated that he's a fan of British Northern Popstars from the 1990's, he said that he isn't like Logan Paul, because he will defend his belt, whenever he can, and he doesn't care if The Bloodline implodes. He called anyone out from the back, and he was greated by Legado Delfantasma. He and Santos then engaged in a decent promo dual, that levied from pissing off fans in Milwaukee. Basketball, and, well. Sex. Humberto, took up the fight, and lost, in a flat TV Match. What followed this, was the best thing on the show.

Old vs New Bloodline Segment.

Jey. Jimmy, and. Sami, are seen walking into Romans dressing room, and Sami told him, that they've got no one, because. The Bloodline have burnt a lot of bridges, they then watched Solo, and his crew come out to the ring. After he failed to get the fans to Acknowledge him. Roman and his OG Bloodline walked out, and a fight broke out, this had its great storybeats, like Roman saving sami from a samoan spike. Roman facing off against Jakub Fatu, and of course. Big Bronson Reed, helping Solo, and his gaggle of dicks, he's their 5th man, and you wait. Seth Rollins will be The OG Bloodlines 5th member, yes this predictable, but it's a great story development. I loved all of this.

Motorcity Machine Gunns vs The Street Profits WWE Tag Team Chjampionship.

This Match was thrown out, when a pissed off Tommasso Ciampa, got involved. Johnny Gargano tried to stop him, but this fell on def ears. Angelo Dawkins then slapped Alex Shelley in frustration. This. Was, a bit meh. In my opinion

Nia Jax vs Naomi WWE Womens Championship.

NIa Jax, retained her WWE Womens Championship, in a solid TV Match. I liked all of this, from The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, giving Jade, and. Bianca, a battering, Bayley taking out Tiffany Stratton, to Naomi scoring some great near falls. But, it wasn't to be, as Nia hit Naomi with an Enialator for the win.

Roman Reigns Segment.

Roman was seen backstage in his locker room, trying to call The Wiseman, but all he got was the this number you have called hasn't been recognised. This. Was a great way to send the show off the air.

Overview Of WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

Cody's, and. The Bloodline Segments were great, and. Nia, and. Naomi was solid, but the rest of the show fell flat, and never recovered.

This weeks WWE Friday Night Smackdown is decent 7/10.

 Top 5 Saddest Moments In Wrestling History.

Intro.

Wrestling has the ability to hit you in the feels, when you least expect it, but just like, whether it's through moments of retirement, or remembering those we've lost. Wrestling can take fans on an emotional ride, that can have ever lasting effects.

5. Goodbye Brodie.

On Boxing 2020. John Huber, better known as Brodie Lee, sadly passed away. AEW did an incredible job, paying tribute to their fallen brother. The episode entitled. Brodie Lee A Celebration Of Life. Was a reminder, that life is too short people. Hug the ones you love.

4. The Ultimate Warriors Death.

Even though I think, that the man behind the Ultimate Warrior Character, is nothing short of an awful human being. His impact on the industry, back in the early 1990's was something to be seen. James Helwig passed away on April 8th in a hotel In Arizona, just days after being inducted into the 2014 WWE Hall Of Fame, and just hours after making his final appearance on Monday Night Raw. He left behind two children.

3 Ric Flairs Retirement.

Even though my opinion on Flair has changed over the years. At the time this had me crying. Enough said.

2. Daniel Bryans Retirement.

This came from out of leftfield, and it stung. Imagine this. How you would you feel if you had your dreams taken away, at the peak of your powers? The look that was etched on Danielsons face, at this time in febuary 2016, just said everything.

1 Goodbye Bray.

As a wrestling fan, for over thirty years of my life. I will never forget this. Just two days after Bray passed. Real name Windham Rotunda. I attended AEW All In, a couple of days after the news broke, and even the show was flooded with emotional tributes, from. The House Of Black. Britt Baker, and. The Young Bucks, what stuck in brain was this. I was waiting to get into the Stadium, and all I could hear over the pa system, was. Brays entrance music. I've never cried outside Wembley Stadium before, until then.

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.
