WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 15.2.2025.

Intro.

Now the build to Wrestlemania is starting to take shape. It's important that WWE try and carve some decent creative, as fan interest online is being looked at as divisive. It's up to the head brass, to navigate through these rough waters, because if they don't, then trying times good be around the corner.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Nia Jax. Tiffany Stratton. Braun Strowman. Damien Priest, and. Tama Tonga, and. Jacob Fatu, were all seen showing up to the arena.

Universal Championship Promotrain.

Cody Rhodes kicked off the show by walking out to the ring, and basking in the admiration, he talked about how his Mania direction is shaping up, and runs through the entrants in the mens Elimination Chamber Match, and the man who came out with the biggest pop was of course. The Invisible Man. This brought out Drew Mcintyre, both men had a decent promo dual, that was built to inflate Drews Ego, it wasn't long before Jacob Fatu, and his minder Tama Tonga came out. Jacob took to the mic, with fire and grace, and said after he beats Priest, and. Strowman tonight, he will go to the Elimination Chamber, and win, punching his ticket to the grandest show of them all, and then on the big screen, a limo was seen driving into the arena. Solo Sikoa got out, and this put Jacob in a spin. Both he and Cody want to get their hands on him. This would act as a decent episode long storythread. I love Jacob Fatu, but does Solo? That's the question.

Womens Elimination Chamber Qualifier Naomi vs Chelsea Green.

Before the Match Wade Barrett was seen having a lovely chat With Trish Stratus. Ok Wade, if you want to talk to someone who backed up an awful human being, then ok, mate be my guest. Naomi, beat Chelsea Green, in a decent TV Match, to advance to the Chamber Match in two weeks time.

Sami Zayn Segment And Kevin Owens Follow Up.

I liked both of these segments, they were short, and sweet, and got to the point.

The Motorcity Machine Gunns vs Los Garza.

Even though I love The Motorcity Machine Gunns, I didn't like this. Yes, they got the win, but overall this was over before it had time to marinade.

Shinsuke Nakamura United States Championship Promotrain.

I'm in two minds over this. I hate Nakamura's new direction, his character falls into awful stereotypes, and his promo was woeful, so step forward LA Knight. He got straight to the point, and cut Nakamura down to size with pure ease. He was then greated by The Miz, and the second part of my brain liked this, their promo dual was great, and their impromptu Match that was set up by Nick Aldis, was fine. Knight got the win, me thinks this is going to be the direction for the Elimination Chamber PLE midcard.

Alexa Bliss Segment.

Alexa Bliss had a minor meeting backstage with Nia Jax, oh well at least she's doing something.

R Truth vs Carmelo.

I'm just going to say it. The Miz is a poor mans Rodney Dangerfield, because he isn't funny. And speaking of funny. God bless you R Truth. I always come away with a smile after watching this guy. He lost here to Carmelo, after his cluelessness got him into a bit of trouble.

The Street Profits Segment.

I'm loving this heel version of The Street Profits, and they want Gold, and by the sounds of it. Pretty Deadly, also want to get their hands on DIY.

WWE Womens Championship Match Nia Jax vs Tiffany Stratton.

What this Match resembled, was a decent effort with a dodgy finish. The Match was thrown when Candace Lerae got involved, and a massive fight broke out, and Trish Stratus helped Tiffany in fending off. Nia, and. Candace, later on Trish gave Tiffany an offer later on. Elimination Chamber, her and Tiffany vs Nia and Candace. Say it with me guys. it's Trishy, and. Tiffy time. Charlotte Flair came out in the aftermath and sat on a steal chair, and did her best Ash Ketchum impersonation, and chose Tiffany as her opponent at Wrestlemania. I liked this development.

Jacob Fatu vs Braun Strowman vs Damien Priest Elimination Chamber Qualifier.

I liked this. From the distractions that caused the finish, to the Match taking the form of three big bulls, doing big bull things. Priest got the win, after Cody and Solo, had a bust up that is going to have serious ramifications, after Solo accidentally spiked Tama Tonga, and not Cody.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

I had fun watching this broadcast. The action went from average to good, and the promos were solid.

This Weeks Friday Night Smackdown is a solid 7/10.

        My Top 5 Favourite Memories Of WCW. 

            Intro.

WCW, agh yes, so many memories, from the good to the outright bad. Today i'm going to fucus on my favourite moments, because i've had a Costa, and two Salted Caramel Brownies, so lets go people.

5. The Immersion Of The NWO.

From the time I cried my eyes out at the sight of the industry changing in front of me, after The Great American Bash 1996, to. Hogan vs Sting, even though the group folded in on itself. I had some great times winding my non wrestling fan dad, whilst watching the world burn.

4. The Yeti.

WCW in 1995. oh the memories. This was so bad to the point that it was great.

3. 1.000 Holds.

This Chris Jericho segment is a classic, he and Dean Malenko had great chemistry, and this was priceless.

2. Bash At The Beach 2000.

Don't you just love it when you see an awful human being, with, by all  accounts, a terrible tasting beer get served some humble pie.

1. Anything To Do With David Flair.

What is the best way to describe this man? He's the best gift that kept on giving, because he was just so funny to watch, and he wasn't even a comedy character. ( I think )

AEW Dynamite Review 13.2.2025.

Max Castor Segment.

I'm skipping the intro this week and i'm getting straight to the action. Max Castor got wrecked by Hangman Adam Page, as the Hangman murder tour continues. ( more on this  guy later ) I liked this.

The Undisputed Kingdom vs The Deathriders AEW World Trios Championship.

I liked this. It was a well paced, fun opener, that turned into a lofi slugfest. The near falls were cleverly placed, and The Deathriders got the win, thanks to my favourite trope in wrestling. Chair fun, followed by a low blow, this allowed Yuta to roll up Kyle O'reilly for the win. Daddy Magic, and. Daniel Garcia  chased them off. I hated this. Adam Copeland, and. Jay White, then played childish games with Moxley and Marina, and stole the AEW Heavyweight Championship. This would start off a pathetic episode long storythread. If you want your briefcase back, then come and get it.  GROW UP. This. Is. A bad way to treat you Audience. Don't do this AEW.

MJF Segment.

From speaking ill about Dustin Rhodes, to him cutting down Hangman Adam Page, with pure verbal brutality. I liked this. ( more on these guys later on )

Samoa Joe. Hook. And Katsuyouri Shibata vs Aaron Solo. Jon Cruz, and Rosario Cruz.

Samoa Joe. Hook, and. Katsuyouri Shibata, beat enhancement talents in a flat TV Match. Joe then took to the mic, and cut a promo, challenging The Patriarchy to a trios Match next week, in the only way he knows how, by threatening my favolurite things. Violence, and. Chaos.

Chris Jericho Segment And Everything That Comes With It.

The following Segment was beyond terrible. Chris Jericho, and. Bandido, had a western style dual. Bryan Keith beat down Bandido, and Big Bill, and. Powerhouse Hobbs had a fight, oh and hello The Outrunners. This. Was, you know what If I take my brain out, everything will be ok.

Marina Shafir And Jon Moxley Segment.

Marina Shafir decked Willow Nightingale, taking away her interview time with Renee Paquette, so her master Jon Moxley, could threaten Adam Copeland. Patrick it's ok, put down your chromebook.

Dustin Rhodes vs MJF.

I loved this. The Match felt fresh. It felt Relevant, and it got to the point. The near falls were well placed, as the story of the Match was crafted into fans brains, as the breathing time for what was going, was put into balance. Dustins passion, blended in nicely with Max's narcissism. Max got the win after a solid round of exchanges. Hangman Adam Page came out, and he and Max had a seperation brawl in the fans, that concluded with a fan getting a pint chucked in his face, and Max cutting a promo on him, which led to another pull apart brawl. Max verbally setting fire to the fans with words, is a tool that he's using to a perfect intense level. 

Two Ladies Matches Back To Back.

Two ladies Matches on Dynamite. Is Tony OK. I mean. I know he was at the Superbowl, but did he come back with a Super fever. Megan Bayne, beat. Mia World, in a flat TV Match, and, then. Kris Statlander, beat. Penelope Ford, in a decent Match. Bayne beat her down in the aftermath.

Harley Cameron Segment.

Harley Cameron rapping. I have no other words, other than. I loved this segment. I want that Mone puppet.

The Hurt Syndicate vs The Gunns AEW Tag Team Championship.

I'm just going to say it. I didn't hate this. The Match had a good flow to it, and the in-ring work wasn't bad. And the story made sense. The Hurt Syndicate, retained. The Hurt Syndicate vs Archer and Cage, at a later point. I don't hate this.

Marieh May Segment.

Is Marieh May, better than Toni Storm? Now that's an interesting question. I can't wait for the Match this Saturday. 

Adam Copeland and Jay White Segment.

I have mixed feelings about this. I liked the verbalage from Copeland, as he showed his menacing side, thanks his mate Spike, and. Jon Moxleys acceptance of his challenge was passionate, but Predictable. The beat down that came after confirmed my feelings from earlier. I want this storyline to hurry up and be gone. The segment ended with Jay White threatening murder on live TV. I'm done that's it, my brain is coming out.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

I actually don't know what to say about this weeks Dynamite. For me, this wasn't very good. It was just above mid.

This week Dynamite by AEW's Standards is a 6/10.

Just A Bit Of Fantasy Booking Part 1. Who Should Move From AEW To WWE and Why.

Let's get into It.

I'm going on a bit of fun crusade with this one people. I figured in light Of Ricky Starks jumping over the fence, and going to the land of The Fed. I thought I would do a different piece than what I had planned. This leads to me  to say this. Who feels like watching  the internet burn down.

Britt Baker to WWE.

It's no secret that I'm a Britt Baker fan, so just imagine this. Britt Baker vs Iyo Sky, or Britt Baker vs Roxanne Perez, or my dream Match Britt Baker vs Rhea Ripley. The possibilities are endless.

Hatred And Rivalries Reignited.

Imagine this. What MJF, and. Jon Moxley moved to, and back, to the fed, after their contracts end. I wonder who they will want to face first. I mean c'mon this writes itself doesn't it.

Powerhouse Hobbs. 

Powerhouse Hobbs vs Jacob Fatu, or. Powerhouse Hobbs vs Braun Strowman. C'mon people, this also writes itself doesn't it.

Malakai Black.

I don't know what you could do with this guy, he faced Cody before, and he's picked fights in a broom cubbard. This is an interesting paradox.

Julia Hart.

Just imagine this, what would this Match look like. Thea Hail vs Julia Hart. Am I the only person who thinks that sounds interesting.

 Part 2 coming soon.

Monday Night Raw Review 11.2.2025.

      Intro. 

This time of year, is a special one. The rd to Wrestlemania is an ever winding ride, with many turns, and thrills. Rd to Wrestlemania we love you. Enough said.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Rey Mysterio. Logan Paul. Lyra Valkyria. Bayley, and AJ Styles, were seen showing up to the arena.

Jey Uso Segment.

Ok. It's official. I love this man. His entrance is always energetic, and this is why it was so important for Gunther to attack him, during the encore of his fun with the fans. This. Was. A fantastic piece of business, when you dig beneath the weeds. Jey Challenged Gunther to a Match at Mania for his WWE World Heavyweight Championship. I like the way that HHH has booked this. He's clearly giving this rivalry time to develop, and breath. This. Is decent booking 101, and kit's paying off. Yeeeeeet.

Iyo Sky And Rhea Ripley Segment.

Rhea Ripley vs Iyo Sky at a later date. Yes please WWE. This Match was made official later on in the show for the Raw after Elimination Chamber.

Liv Morgan And Raquel Rodriguez vs Damage Ctrl.

I didn't like this. It just felt off, and, felt like a vital ingridient was missing. Damage Ctrl got the win. I understand that there was a botch in the Match, that caused Liv to get busted open. And all I have to say is this. Accidents happen people, they're wrestlers and not ballet dancers, so don't give Iyo or Dakota any hate online.

Bayley vs Lyra Valkyria Elimination Chamber Qualifier.

I liked this. It had a natural flow that is hard to put in a can. Bayley got the win by Roll-up, and raised her opponents hand as she gave the future a chance. Ivy Nile then acted like a small minded wind up merchant, in a backstage sement with Lyra later on in the broadcast.

Penta Vingnette.

Penta wants to get his hands on Pete Dunne, and. Ludwig Kaiser wants to get to Penta, this is just a nice tasting sandwich isn't it.

AJ Styles Segment.

I loved all of this. AJ Styles is one of my favourite wrestlers of all time, and it's great to see him back in the ring, his promo here was great, and his interaction with Dominik Mysterio was awesome, also as a big country music fan. I loved Pat Mcafe's version of I Love This Bar By Toby Keith, well they were in Nashville after all. Bron Breakker vs AJ at a later date sounds interesting.

Seth Rollins Segment.

Seth Rollins then had a standing interview with Jackie Redmond, he stated that all eyes are on Cody, and he has his sights set on winning the Elimination Chamber. Step forward Finn Balor, and the two had an enjoyable promo encounter, the pair will meet in an Elimination Chamber Qualifier next week. Just a little reminder to The Judgement Day, listen to Finn guys, It might help you.

American Made vs The War Raiders WWE Tag Team Championship.

This Match was thrown out when Julius smacked Eric with one of the belts. This was a bad ending, to what was a decent Match.

Cm Punk Segment And Rey Mysterio vs Logan Paul.

I liked all of this. From Punk reflecting on last weeks main event, to calling out the invisible man, who's put himself in the Chamber. He laid bare his thoughts on both Seth Rollins, and. Drew Mcintyre, because Mania belongs to him. Logan Paul then came out, and the pair had a great promo dual. I can't stand Logan Paul, and this is a clear look at both mens future booking plans. Rey Mysterio vs Logan, was an interesting Elimination Chamber Qualifier. Logan got the win in. The physicality was awesome, and it meshed in perfectly with both mens styles, however the brass knucks played a part in the finish, which felt a bit predictable in my opinion. The New Day beat Rey down, as the show went off the air.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

I had a good time watching this show at 7am before I went off to my day Job. The in-ring work was good, and the promos were solid.

This Weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10.

 

My Moments In Wrestling That Destroyed The Internet.

    Intro.

Ok people I have a real treat for you, because todays top 5 list, we're going to be talking about everyones favourite thing in the entire world, the internet, because every wrestling fanbase loves the Internet. I can feel the earth start to burn as I type this out. So lets get into it.

5 Both of Cm Punks Returns.

From leaving He Shall Not Be Named's Evil Empire, and then hanging them out to dry on a podcast, with his then Best friend, to coming back and joining AEW, a company that found its groove within the world of Pro Wrestling, quite quickly. His run in Tony Khans little Promotion, saw him face off against Eddie Kingston. Jon Moxley. Darby Allin. Hangman Adam Page, and. MJF, in a rivalry that is my favourite ever feuds in wrestling, and a load of muffins at a press conference. This would start the downward spiral that would see Philip Brooks, be let go from the promotion, after an altercation with Jack Perry backstage at AEW All In London, a show that I attended in person. Punk would then go back to WWE, returning at Survivor Series 2023 in Chicago. This broke X, and all this did was deepen the divide between AEW, and. WWE fans. In a moment thas gone on to live as one of the destructive moments in wrestling history. Pipebomb indeed.

4. Occupying A Monday Night.

This Moment was built of back of fans getting sick and tired of having to eat the chosen meal, and not their favourite, back in 2014 the WWE were feeding its fanbase, gruel, when all they wanted was the finest 5 course meal. This is the perfect way to describe the moment when Daniel Bryan, and a shed load of fans, took it upon themselves to occupy  a segment on Monday Night Raw, as the final hurdle on the rd to Wrestlemania 30, started to get over the bumps that it encountered, as fan backlash gained momentum. A pivert was made, and the rest was history.

3. Any Bloodline Segment.

From Sami getting Initiated into the family. His outstanding trial segment from Raw XXX, to his overall betrayal, at the 2023 Royal Rumble. This faction that took influence from multiple TV Shows, and have some memorable moments, that destroyed the internet as we knew it.

2. Cody Rhodes.

From returning  to the company that released him at Mania 38, to last years Mania build getting sent straight off a cliff, thanks to Dwayne. This man had the whole internet backing him with one simple hashtag # We want Cody, from the chaos, to finishing his own story. This man has broke the internet on multiple occasions.

1. Brock Lesnar Ends The Streak.

Even though nowadays. I'm not the biggest fan of Lesnars, due to reasons that I can't talk about on the internet, however when he broke The Undertakers Streak. It felt like you were witnessing something that you will never see again. That guy, and that facial expression was all of us in our disbelief.

 AEW Collision Review 9.2.2025.

        Intro.

In under a weeks time AEW is heading down under for its first ever event. Now a lot has been said about this show, and how it has been handled. I have my opinions on the matter, and I will not be going into detail on them here, because what I would say, has been said time, and, time again, over the past few weeks, to the point that it has become boring. My main train of thought towards this event is this. When things in life turn out to be a bed of thornes. I think we all need to take a step back and take a look around. What this means is can we all agree it's cool that a new market is getting an AEW event.

Mark Briscoe And Kyle Fletcher Opening.

Before the show got going Mark Briscoe, and. Kyle Fletcher, gave us their thoughts ahead of their main event later on in the broadcast. The Don Callis Family had some fun, tonight as well. You leave those workers alone Lance Storm, I mean Archer. Please don't kill me Lance Storm, I mean Archer. DAMN IT

Deathriders Segment. 

I liked this opening. From Marina Shafir chucking around a security guard, like he was a wet towel, to Moxley cutting a great promo on Adam Copeland, explaining why he isn't getting a shot at his World Heavyweight Championship, but if he was up for it, they can have a fight anytime anywhere. I love how Jon Moxley has used a slogan that one of sporting idols made famous. He can thank Chuck Liddell later.

Trios Match.

The Undisputed Kingdom, beat. Daniel Garcia. Angelo Parker, and. Daddy Magic, and. STP in a fun opening Match. The Deathriders took out Cole, when Yuta. Pac, and. Claudio came out, but they were chased off. When they got Adam all alone, they were made to look weak, as Cole thought back, and the bad guys were chased off after Adam challenged them to a Match on this weeks Dynamite, for their Trios Championships. Now don't get me wrong I think the Match will bang. I just don't like this out come, when you really think about it.

FTR Vingnette.

Now you guys should know me by now, because it's no secret that I love FTR. Top writer out.

Max Castor Segment.

Max Castor is going to get Murdered this Wednesday by Hangman Adam Page. I've given his murder tour a theme song, and it goes a little something like this. It's the Hangman murder tour come on come on, yes I have been watching South Park a lot of late.

Bryan Keith vs Bandido.

I liked this. It was a good blend of styles. Bandido got the win, and we then got a segment from Powerhouse Hobbs, saying that he's going to be in Texas all week. My fighty sense is tingling.

LFI vs Brick Savage And The Alexander Brothers.

LFI, beat these Local Jobbers in a standard, and boring TV Match, but at least we got the return of Hologram. Tony Khans favourite Power Ranger. Go Go Mighty Hologram.

Megan Bayne Segment.

Megan Bayne completely ignored Thunder Rosa, who then cut a fiery promo on her opponent tonight Penelope Ford, who she would beat later on. Megan hated this, as she battered Thunder in the aftermath.

Harley Cameron Halftime Concert.

I have no words that can do this segment any form of justice, because all of this was great. I'm going over to AEWshop, to get my hands on one of those Mercedes Dolls, to wind my dog up with. Harley vs Mercedes at Grandslam for the TBS Championship sounds like fun. I have the sense of humour of a five year old.

Bubby Matthews And Kazuchika Okada Sit Down Segment.

After watching this. I'm now excited to see this Match next week. This should be a stylistic clinic.

Dustin Rhodes vs A Local Enhancement Talent.

Dustin Rhodes, beat a Local Talent Enhancement, and did what he does best. He cut a passionate Promo on MJF. This Wednesday is starting to look good isn't it.

Bun B Meets Ricochet.

The Man who created America's favourite burger, had a meeting with wrestlings version of Jeffrey Dalmer, and it was glorious. Ricochet and Swerve having a fight, at a Defy show, was an inspired idea. Man those burgers looked great didn't they. Uuuuuummmm cheese burgers.

Marieh May vs A Toni Storm Lookalike.

I loved all of this, she beat Shay Carmichael in a glamourous Exhibition Match, she tried to humilate her opponent after getting the win, this was when Luther returned and gave Marieh a gift. It was a shoe, and when Marieh turned around, she wasn't greated by Shay, it was Toni Storm who looked back at her. Marieh got out of their, as the shoe was thrown. I loved this segment.

Kyle Fletcher vs Mark Briscoe.

I loved this Match. It was a bloodsoaked master stroke in TV booking. From Mark getting busted open, when he got slammed into the ring post, the exchanges were great, and the near falls were well paced. This. Was a majestic energy filled slugfest, that examplified just how important it is for wrestling to have a visceral nasty side. Fletcher got the win, after a great series of exchanges, that included an awesome table spot from Briscoe, this was great.

Overview of this weeks AEW Dynamite.

This. Was. A great TV Broadcast, with a TV Match of the year contender, and in my opinion, a segment of the year contender. The promos were great, and the in-ring work went from good to great. I had fun watching this.

This Weeks AEW Collision is a solid 8/10 show.
