My Top 5 Bloodiest Wrestling Matches.

 Intro.

In the words of My Chemical Romance. Give me blood, blood, gallons of the stuff. Blood can be used as an enhancement, to help advance Matches, and help storylines to get to the next level, so this gave me an idea, just what are bloodiest matches in wrestling history.

5 Cm Punk vs Drew Mcintyre Hell In A Cell 2024.

With a year long slow build, and two previous matches, that failed to deliver in comparison, but this Match, on this night, became my WWE Match of the year. both men busted each other open, inside satin's favourite structure, as the physicality, and the blood sold this Match perfectly.

4 HHH vs Ric Flair Steel Cage Match Taboo Tuesday 2005.

Wrestling over the decades, has told the story, of hate outweighing love, many times over the years, but this one felt special. The act of betrayal, may be looked at as predictable, due to how Paul Leveque played his character, and the fact that he had developed a real life relationship with Flair, this is why the match worked in my opinion. The red stuff oozed from both men, as the violence took center stage.

3 HHH vs Cactus Jack Royal Rumble 2000.

This. Is essential viewing. I was 12 years old when my brother, let me borrow his VHS, that he taped from the night before. I fell in love with this Match, and then developed a fear of Barbwire in the aftermath.

2 Cm Punk vs MJF AEW Revolution 2022.

This. Match, had one of the best builds to any match, that I have ever seen, in over thirty years of being a fan of this business. If you've never seen this Match, then you should give this a watch, because it's simply incredible.

1 Pat Patterson vs Sgt Slaughter Madison Square Garden 1980.

I understand, why. Pat Patterson is persona non grata these days, but back in the day, he had some pretty hardcore Matches, and this was at a time when hardcore wasn't even a phrase. This Is a disgusting bloodsoaked nightmare, that still gives me the willies, unto this very day, because gallons of the stuff, came out from both of these men.

 WWE Monday Night Raw Review 19.11.2024.

Intro.

With Survivior Series, now just under two weeks away. Things are starting to take for the WWE, and its storytelling, even though this was a pretaped show. And i'm starting to feel the strain of all of these types of shows. I do think it's important to give those that entertain us, some well earnt time off. This time of year is a time to take things a little bit easier, as christmas starts to creep around the corner.

Superstars Seen Showing Up To The Arena.

Seth Rollins. Big Bronson Reed. Sheamus, and. Bron Breakker were all seen showing up to the arena.

The Mulletchaser Segment.

The Mulletchaser, and. Raquel Rodriguez, were out first, and welcomed us to Monday Night Mullet, she said that, she knows Jade and Bianca, didn't come alone, and neither did they, and out came Nia Jax, and. Tiffany Stratton, and. Candace Lerae. This would end being the heel Survivor Series Team for WarGames. Nia ran through Raquel, and. Ms Chaser, saying what she thought of them, and then out came Bianca, and. Jade, and Naomi, and they said that The Mulletchaser is right they didn't come alone, and that's when Iyo Sky Joined them, all ladies got into the ring, and. The Mulletchaser was quick to bring up the fact that the numbers don't add up, this was when a returning Rhea Ripley came, and shouted the term, Waaaaaaaaargaaaaaaaammmes, and gave the Mulletchaser, a headbutt sandwich, because her face mask, was the other part of the bread. A fight broke out to end this segment. This would be later confirmed, as the womens Wargames Match. All of this felt a bit predictable to me

Rey Mysterio And Zelina Vega vs Chad Gable And Ivy Nile.

Rey Mysterio, and. Zelina Vega, beat. Chad Gable and Ivy Nile, in a decent TV Match, that showed a lot of promise, with a 619. I liked this.

The Miz Segment.

The Miz looked back on being kidnapped, and then swerving The Wyatt Sick, with the help of Karrion Kross. This didn't end well, because later on Bo Dallas delivered a chilling message later on, saying that this isn't over. I'm not sure what to make of this.

Gunther Segment.

Gunther then had words with Ludwig Kaiser, telling him, that he doesn't speak for him, he walked away, and sees Damien Priest sitting their signing merch, and attacked him, but Priest flipped the script, and battererd Gunther. The Look on Adam Pearce's face said everything.

Sheamus vs Bron Breakker IC Championship.

I liked the physicality, and speed of this match. Both men had a chopfight. Sheamus was sent over The announcers desk, but, this all came to a disapointing end, when Ludwig Kaiser got involved, and the match was thrown out. I liked the match. I just hated the ending.

The OG Bloodline Segment.

Jey, and. Jimmy Uso, and. Sami Zayn, where seen trying to get Seth Rollins on side, to join their team for Wargames. Seth said No, but things can still change.

War Raiders vs Dominik Mysterio And Carlito.

This Match screamed one word. Skip. The War Raiders got the win. This. Was very flat.

Lyra Valkyria Vingnette.

I have a question for you guys. When was the last time we saw Lyra Valkyria? I feels like it's been a long minute.

Kofi Kingston And Xavier Woods Segment.

Kofi Kingston was talking backstage to The Alpha Academy, that was until Xavier Woods showed up, feeling a bit guilty, about how things have turned out recently, but when Kofi excepted this, Xavier took it the wrong way, and had a go at Otis, when he tried to give Xavier some advice. Xavier then put, he and Kofi, in a Tag Match against them next week.

Seth Rollins vs Big Bronson Reed.

I liked this. From the decent physicality, to the Bloodline two sides back up, becoming the main backdrop of this main event. Bronson got the win, after Solo appeared on the announcers table, this allowed Bronson to hit seth with a Tsunami, for the win. Wargames is starting to look a bit tasty isn't folks.

Overview Of WWE Monday Night Raw.

This. Was. A rough edition of weekly TV. The promos felt forced, and the in-ring work, was hit and miss.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a mid 6/10.

My Top 5 Times Wrestling pissed Off My Family.

  Intro.

Look guys I love my family, but when it comes to wrestling, I know for a fact that over the space of the last 30-plus years, I've driven them around the bend. Here's just a 5 list. Prepare yourselves, because you're going to laugh, you might cry, and you might want to punch me, so here goes nothing.

5 My puppy was made to acknowledge her Tribal Chief.

My mum hated this. I made my Puppy Jayne acknowledge her Tribal Chief. This was vital at the time.

4 Can I Go To WWF Insurrextion. NO.

Agh yes. The WWF in the early noughties, me and my friend Tim, were, and are still big fans of the WWE, and if you remember these times, especially over here in the UK. The WWF was red hot, and as soon as they announced a PPV for these shows. Me and my mate were all over it, pissing off our parents, and what I did was, well, annoying. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. No. Mum can I go To WWF Insurrextion. No. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. No. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. Just shut up. Mum can I go to WWF Insurrextion. Just shut the f*** up. She turned the air very blue.

3. Wrestling Is Fake.

9 year old had this debate with my dad, and guess what. I lost, oh well somethings  have never changed.

2 Clotheslines Suck.

Agh yes, the time when I clotheslined my older Brother, hah that'll teach him, for saying that The Rock Is fake.

1 My Family Has Had To Put Up With Me.

My poor old family has had to put up with a wrestling fan, that has been raised on the fed, yeah I know, they have the tolerance levels of saints.



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 UFC Moments That Went Too far.   Intro. As time has gone by, The art of what is seen as acceptable has been brought into question. ...
