Friday Night Smackdown Review.

   Intro. 

I hate having to write about things like this. Last night when I went to bed. The world was a normal place, and I wake up this morning to find that up to 15 WWE Wrestlers have been released from their contracts, from the main roster. Braun Strowman. Dakota Kai. Shayna Baszler, and. Kayden Karter, and. Katana Chance, had been let go from the company, with a load of names from NXT, such as. Cora Jade. Jakara Jackson, and Xavier Bernal. I know that their was other names as well, it's just that their was a lot of names that were mentioned. My heart goes out to everyone involved, this is the nasty side of the industry that needs to be looked at under a microscope, because in my opinion, it's inhumain, and unworthy, as the contracts of an independant contracted talents needs to held to question, these people are humans, and not pound signs.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Randy Orton, Tiffany Stratton. The Miz, and. Damien Priest were seen showing up to the arena, and priest had a scrap with the Temu Bloodline. This morphed into our openin segment.

LA Knight Segment.

LA Knight opened up the show, he stated that he wasn't happy being a No1 Contender, and as a result of how his Match with Drew ended last week he blamed the Temu Bloodline, this was when Damien Priest came out, and both men had a flat promo dual, that centred around all of the usual beats, from Losing at Wrestlemania, playing the blame game, and wait for it. The Temu Bloodline, this led to an impromptu Match, to be the no1 contender for the United States Championship. The Match got thrown out once Solo Sikoa got involved. Jacob Fatu got involved and decided to wreck some fools. I didn't like this. Hang on isn't that Michael Bisping in the crowd, oh wait yes it is, well hey isn't that something. My top 5 takeaways from this weekends UFC Fight Night will be up on this blog tomorrow night. Plug Plug.

Pretty Deadly vs Fraxiom.

Fraxiom, beat those delicous treats Pretty Deadly in a solid TV Match, that reminded of the Golden age of later days Britwres.

Nick Aldis Segment.

Nick Aldis was backstage talking to Michin, and. Bfab, when in stepped the Secret Hervice, and Chelsea Green, who was dressed in black, because she was in a state of loss, because she doesn't have her belt. She asked Nick to book a rematch, but he said we could do that in the future, but tonight Piper Niven will face the champ Zelina Vega, and if she wins then she will become the No1 Contender for the Womens United States Championship. Piper would go on to lose to Zelina, thanks to Chelsea. The Secret Hervice are meant for this world are they.

Nia Jax Segment.

I hated this. Nia's Promo fell into the realm of boring predictability, that turned into a promotrain, including Naomi. Tiffany Stratton, and. Jade Cargill. All of this was terrible badly scripted garbage, that fell flat. Nick Aldis then put all of these ladies in a tag Match at the end of the night, with The Undertaker player. Papa H does love his impromptu Tag Matches doesn't he.

Alistair Black vs The Miz.

I'm so happy to see Alistair Black back in WWE. I'm just going to say this. I liked some of his work in AEW, and I like him in WWE, because tribalism is stupid. Black got the win, and had a stair down with Carmelo Hayes, teasing a tasty looking future Match.

Randy Orton Segment.

I liked this. 25 years of Cena vs Orton, over the broadcast WWE did a good job in paying essence to the history of this rivalry, this was echoed in Randy's promo, because as time has gone by he's seen how Cena has been laudered by fans, whilst his reception amongst his peers was completely differant, this has been reported many times over years in shoot interviews that you can find on Youtube. This was a refreshing way to take a look at family history, under a new creative light. This was excellent, and the best thing on the show.

Rey Fenix vs Santos Escobar.

Rey Fenix, beat. Santos Escobar in a fantastic TV Match, that left me wanting more.

Jade Cargill and Tiffany Stratton vs Nia Jax and Naomi.

I didn't like this, the Match felt clunky, and repetitive. Jade got the win for her team with an awkward looking powerbomb on Nia.

Overview of Friday Night Smackdown.

This was a varied mix-bag filled with things that I liked, and loathed in equal measure. The show goes back to 2hrs in early june, and I can't wait.

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

My Top 5 Dana White's Funniest Moments.

       Intro.

The gift that keeps on giving is a phrase, that reminds of a good comedy, and the president of the worlds leading fight organisation is no differant. But the question that I want to ask you guys is this. Which verison of Dana White Do you prefer. Angry, or sane Dana. I know which one I would buy when doing the weekly shopping in Tesco.

5. Steve Mazzagatti.

I love Dana for these moments after he put referee Steve Mazzagatti on blast, after he allowed Jon Finch to get choked out at a WSOF card. His line about him saving small orthans and doing his shopping was priceless. Mazzagatti was then taken off of all future MMA Shows, and hasn't refereed a professional fight since 2015.

4 Colby Covington.

Yeah don't threaten to smack DanaWhite, because this is what he will say. You're a big dumb idiot.

3 The Internet.

Why does dana White hate the internet, well all I have to say is Hackers, and how he's going to come for them.

2 Oscar Delahoya.

This is a classic, because Cocain is a hell of a drug, and an f-bomb tirade for the ages that would make Gordon ramsey blush. Don't ever change Dana.

1 Dennis Hallman vs Brian Ebersole UFC 133.

Hallman wore some speedos live on PPV, this pissed off the Bostonian who gave Ebersole a fight bonus, for getting those trunks off of the card. What does this guy have against beach wear.

 AEW Dynamite Review.

8 Man Tag Team All Star.

This was Sensational. The Elite, and Ricochet, beat. Mark Briscoe. Kevin Knight. Speedball Mike Bailey, and. Kenny Omega, in what was a stunning opener. Omega, and Okada having multiple teases, the Matches within the Match were an interesting sight that sold the importance and story of the Match. From Brainbusters getting pulled from out of nowhere, and dropkick tombstone combos being performed effortlessly, all of this added in with the physicality, made this opening 35 minutes just fly by. Okada hit Mark Briscoe with the rainmaker for the win. I loved this. Over the past few weeks AEW have treated us fans to some the best TV Matches of the year, and oh my, this was no differant. A class outing all round.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment Part 1.

The Hurt Business wrecked some guys, and talked business. More on these guys later. 

The Opps vs Nick Comorotto Rhett Titus And Myles Hawkings.

The Opps Murdered these guys, and then got attacked by The Deathriders. Mox nearly got choked again by Joe, but he released the hold after Shibata was given the Hook treatment By Claudio Castagnoli. This left Joe to call out Mox, and make their Match at Beach Break a Steel Cage Match, and at that point I started salivating, because this is going to rule in my opinion.

 Mercedes Mone Segment.

Mercedes Mone put herself over  and not the Owen Hart Cup, whilst stating that Jamie Hayter looks like Daphne from Scooby Doo, that really funny because People say I look like Shaggy.

The Patriarchy Segment.

Christian Cage accepted a Match against Jay Lethal for his son, telling him to man up. Christian Cage gives me real Dance Mom vibes.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Miyu Yamashista AEW Womens Title Eliminator.

I liked this. The styles between both ladies was an interesting play of cultures. Storm got the win, and Mercedes Mone, and. Jamie Hayter had a scrap on the stage.

The Damn Don Callis Family Segment.

Don Callis put over his own faction, and Kyle said that he was going to get me to say his name, and at that point I went downstairs to check my kitchen, and then I came back upstairs to my bathroom, because If I say someones name, then they might just appear like it's Wrestlemania.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment.

This was my favourite segment from the show. MVP calls out Max, whilst calling for arms. Max plays up to the occassion, as Shelton gives him the thumbs up, whilst Bobby was refused, after Max delivered his standard vocal barbs. Bobby attacked Max, and said that if he wants in, then he has to Hurt someone, because The Hurt Syndicate hurt people. Max was left carrowing in the corner, as MVP turned his back on his friend. I think this is teasing a Max turn on MVP. 

Nick Wayne vs Jay Lethal ROH TV Championship.

This was better than what I thought it would be. I had fun watching this. Nick retained, as his problematic version of pushy parent wrapped the belt around his waist.

Kyle Fletcher vs Hangman Adam Page Semi Final Owen Hart Tournament.

This was a fantastic bookend to what was a great show. This Match was something special, with some excellent back and forth, and physicality between both men, and the exchanges moulded into the story perfectly. Hangman will meet Osperay in the Final at Double Or Nothing. What a show, and what a way to send it off the air.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

The term the power is back seems to get thrown around two much these days, but I do feel that AEW is on it's way to a form of precipice, and judging on the balance of this show, it's great to see, as the road ahead continues to look better and better, as All In approaches.

This weeks AEW is a solid 9/10.

My Top 5 UFC Fighters who Acted Like Classless Idiots.

Intro.

All sports in some cases are built on respect, but if you're an MMA fan, then you'll know that all this goes out the window during build ups to PPV's, so I decided to take a look at the most classless moments, that made UFC Fighters look like Idiots.

5 Josh Koscheck The Ultimate Fighter Season 1.

Am I the only person who thinks that Josh Koscheck is that guy at the party, who would just spend his time bullying others. I mean I could pick multiple moments in this series, his treatment of Chris Leben was awful, and laughing at someone when their not in control of their own body, just made him look, well a bit of a bad sport.

4 Tito Ortiz And Dana White UFC 84 Press Conference.

Tito Ortiz, and. Dana White. This was cringe inducing Gold, that made Both men look pretty pathetic.

3. Colby Covington.

Pick one, because this guy has a big mouth, from saying that he smack Dana White with the Welterweight Championship if he places on him, in the aftermath of his fight against Kamaru Usman, to threatening Jorge Masividals wife, yeah this guy is a walking, talking show of disrespect.

2. Michael Bisping.

Brash. Cocky, and an all round hateable figure. He's done, and said loads of things, that made him public enemy no1. From both of his stints as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, to mocking GSP. Look I love Bisping, but even I think that he's pushed the envelope a bit too far at times.

1. Chael Sonnen.

It's no secret that i'm a fan of The American Gangster, but if you go back to 2012, and his build up to his Middleweight Championship fight against Anderson Silva. He went on a one man rampage insulting the country of Brazil, and implamenting hate on the Noguiera brothers, and. Wanderlai Silva. You know they moved a entire PPV back to the United States thanks to him. I mean wow.

My Top 5 Takeaways From Monday Night Raw 29.4.25

Another Apology.

Like I always say, because of my day job guys. I'm giving you another Top 5 Takeaways list. You guys know that I love writing about Pro Wrestling, and MMA, and, when I can't do a full show review for whatever reason. It doesn't sit with me, but being the person that I am, with the strong work ethic that I have. I will give you guys something good to chew on. So here goes nothing.

5. Seth Rollins Segment.

I liked all of this, as it ran as an episode long throughthread. I think it's clear that were getting Seth vs Sami Zayn at a later point. Their interaction on both occasions was great, as Zayns heart was shown on the outside from his body. Bron Breakker wrecked Sami in the main event. I'm starting to like Seth's new gaggle of bastards.

4. Rhea Ripley Took Roxanne Perez To School.

Even though this ended in the worst way. Interference from Giulia. But when you dig beneath the surface, things like this are slowly becoming WWE's new blueprint. Veterans helping upstarts. This is a great thing to see, and I think this shows good signs going into the future.

3 Jey Uso Shuts Up Logan Paul.

God bless this man, and i'm not even a religous person. He shut Logan Paul up, so all I have to say is this. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

2. Becky Lynch Is The Best.

Becky Lynch is the best. I know that not everyone likes her as a heel, but I love this, she's like a Saturday morning cartoon villain, whilst Lyra Valkyria played the hero. Now everyone lets try and figure out who attacked Bayley. I think we should we should Dick and Barry Van Dyke in to solve the case, oh wait no Becky said that she did it, oh well then mystery solved.

1 Pat Mcafe vs Gunther at Backlash.

Pat Mcafe vs Gunther at Backlash, this is going to be funny. Nice knowing you Pat my guy.

My Top 5 Times WWE Went Too Far.

Intro.

As father time has garnered on over the years. Some moments in the WWE Libary have aged like Yogurt under the sun. So here's a selection, that might make you feel sick, or angry, you decide.

5 He Who Shall Not Be Named Makes Trish Stratus Bark Like A Dog.

I watched this, recently as part of the Vince Mcmahon Docu Series, and even though I had seen this before. It still made me sick, knowing what we know now.

4.  Ric Flair In A Mental Home.

Ok. Technically this isn't a WWE moment, but when WWE Purchased the WCW Video Libary in 2004, they bought the hideous, the bad, and the outright offensive. This series of segments were'nt just in bad taste, they were outright bullying.

3. He Who Shall Not Be Named Kiss My Ass Club.

Given what we now know about the former chairman of the board, all of this is now unwatchable.

2. HHH Outright Racism.

HHH vs Booker T Wrestlemania 19. This is a blithe in the storied career of the Cerebral Assasin. This should've never happened.

1. Katie Vick.

I feel sick just thinking about this. Guys please don't look this up Youtube, because I don't want to pay for anyone's therapy.

My Top 5 Favourite Snack Combos For Watching.

Intro.

I don't know about you guys, but I love food. And my biggest vice is eating whilst watching the UFC. I know i'm not alone in this, so this is my top 5 food combos to have whilst watching one of my favourite past times.

5 Cookies All Kinds.

Whilst I was watching UFC Fight Kansas City this weekend I devoured a whole load of Marylands, and. Mcvite's Gold Bars, and I didn't feel guilty at all.

4. Doritos And Sausage Rolls.

This one is an odd one, but my god it hits differant. Hint Of Paprika flavour Doritos loaded up with Sausage Rolls, yes please.

3. Malteasers And Coca Cola.

My dentist is going to love me. Malteasers and Coca Cola is my jam, a jam that I go back to constantly that is.

2. Pizza.

In the words of Homer Simpson. Pizza, is there anything that It can't do. Well in my opinion, no, because Have you seen the Shaqaroni Pizza from the USA brand of Papa Johns. I want it.

1. Burger And Fries.

I make the best Burger And Fries, in fact just thinking about my favourite meal just makes me want to load up UFC 92 on DVD, and have a gauging fest.
