My Top 5 Worst UFC Injuries.

Intro.

No one likes looking at injuries, especially in MMA, as the octagon has played host to several nasty moments in UFC history. This isn't my attempt at making fun of these athletes, if anything i'm trying highlight just how easy it is to have things taken away from you, when it's no ones fault.

5 Chris Weidman UFC 261.

Chris Weidman is a very game competitor, and on this night when he faced Urijah Hall, he placed a leg kick, and when he stepped backwards, his leg gave out on him. This was a sickening sight.

4 Anderson Silva UFC 168.

Just eight years before Chris broke his leg. His opponent of the time Anderson Silva broke his leg, whilst trying to regain his Middleweight crown from the man who took it from him, just six months prior. You could easily say that this could be mirroring what was to come eight years later, but if were all being honest. I don't think that this is the case, the human body is a funny old thing, and anything can happen in a split second.

3. Deiveson Figueiredo.

This one looked ok on the surface, when you see him get helped out from the cage in the aftermath of his fight against Cory Sandhagen last weekend, his injury was seen to be far worse than what it seemed. Cory did the right thing by finishing the fight quickly, because this saves part of his opponents health. Fighters enter the cage to get their hands raised, and not to limit their opponents overall health.

2. Dan Evensen.

At UFC 92. Pat HD Barry, beat. Dan Eversen in what was a professional performance by TKO, however the leg kicks that he used to beat down his opponent left the Norwegian injured. I still look back on this and think, yes this was bad, but it could've been so much worse.

1. Connor Mcgregor vs Dustin Poirer UFC 264.

This entry isn't because of Connors star power, or then fighting attitude, it's because I have never seen a leg break like this. This is the nature of the fight game, and these things do happen, but it's a mark on a career that has been polvarized by the world, for good and bad reasons.

This Monday Night Raw review is dedicated to the memory of Sabu.

Monday Night Raw Review 13.5.2025.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Finn Balor. AJ Styles. Iyo Sky. Giulia and Roxnne Perez were all seen showing up to the arena.

Cm Punk Segment.

I liked this. Punk was given the walk through treatment, and on arrival he looked pissed, he opened up his promo by being angry with himself, for putting his trust in his former friend Paul Heyman, he spoke about their history, as he calls Seth Rollins a temu Punk. Paul Heyman then came to the top of the stage, with his new crew. Seth laid bare what he thought of Punk, as the theme of gaslighting, betrayal, and belief, became the centre fold of this story. Seth was angry after last week, and told Bron Breakker to go and give him a matyrs death. Bron beat down punk, who was then saved by Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso. This would turn out to be a decent episode long storythread.

Penta vs Chad Gable.

I didn't like this, now don't get me wrong the Match was solid, it's just bringing out Pat Mcafe after Saturday night acted like a distraction. Chad looked visibly pissed at one point, and I don't blame. Penta got the win with a sick looking Mexican destroyer, and just like that Chads rampage of hate against Luchadors continues.

The Judgement Day Segment.

I only took a couple of things away from this segment. Carlito is a shovanist, and Dom is a non racist version of Hulk Hogan, because he doesn't understand timezones, whilst his paranoia grew even further.

The War Raiders vs American Made.

This was a flat TV Match, that never got up off the ground. American Made got the win, and The New Day on commentary made no difference. Apart from the finish.

Jey Uso Segment.

I didn't like this segment. I love Jeys energy, to me it gravitates through my TV screen, he gave his thoughts on facing Logan Paul, and then I was pulled back into a predictable midcard Vortex because out came Gunther. He told Jey that the winner of Jey vs Logan at Saturday Nights Main Event, will face him on the Raw after Money In The Bank. Jey was later on decked by Bron Breakker. I hate this type of booking, this tease of taking the belt from Jey so soon after he won he's won it, doesn't sit with me, because it feels like his IC Championship defeat to Bron all over again.

RIP Sabu.

We then got a fantastic tribute to Sabu, who passed away at the of 60, this past Sunday. RIP Sabu you will be missed.

Finn Balor vs AJ Styles. 

This on paper looked good, but what we got was a reminder of a rainy day, because this was flat. AJ got the win after the same old distractions. This left me feeling bored.

Becky Lynch Segment.

I liked this. Denial, denial, denial, was the echo chamber that surrounded this her promo, she basked in her own glory, whilst being layered in defeat. She told fans in the style of the cat in the hat, that everything fans think that she is, she will be. This was a decent promo.

Rusev Vingnette.

Rusev tried to explain why he loved destroying Otis, this left Tazawa feeling upset. Oh and Sheamus popped up.

Roxanne Perez and Giulia vs Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley.

This was a decent Match, with a predictable outcome. Rhea and Iyo got the win by pinning both ladies. I've seen online people calling out this Match, but i've got a different opinion. Rhea and Iyo are now acting as veterans, and are being looked at as this way. WWE has done this type of booking for over 25 years. I do think that this is a good way to in bed new talent, but I do understand the frustrations.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

This weeks Monday Night Raw was a real mix-bag, personally I didn't like it, but hey each to their own.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a mid 5/10.

My Top 5 Takeaways From UFC 315.

     Intro. 

As the year has garnered on, the worlds biggest fight Promotion continues to roll on, by hosting it's first PPV in Montreal since 2013. With various reasons for why the company hasn't come back, and on return the UFC brought with it a stacked card, that in my opinion is one of the best in recent memory. So strap yourself in because were in for one great show.

5. Benoit Saint Denis.

Benoit Saint Denis, owned Kyle Preplopec in dominant fashion, and made him look ameteur. This was a performance of the night candidate, he looked awesome here, and it's great to see him move up in Lightweight Division.

4 Natalya Silva.

Natalya Silva, put forward her best performance since joining the Vegas outlet, when she beat Alexa Grasso, to move up in the womens Flyweight Division. The former champion Grasso didn't look good as Silva got the win by unanamous decision.

3. Vitor Belfort.

The UFC announced that Vitor Belfort will be going into their hall of fame. I don't like this. I have my feelings about Vitor, and his use of TRT that I feel has hampered his legacy. Yes he's done loads for the sport, but his open use of performance enhancing drugs doesn't sit with me. 

2 Valentina Shevchenko.

What can I say about this women, other than she's fearce, she got the win against Manon Fiorot, to retain her title, in what was a fight of the night contender.

1 Belal Muhammed Is Far from Boring.

This man is a class act even in defeat, he lost his championship to Jack Della Maddelena in what was a fight of the year contender. Jack was a gentlemen in victory, as both men put on a show for the fans. Check this fight out when you can.

        RIP Sabu. 

This edition of Extreme wrestling reviews is dedicated to the memory of hardcore legend, who sadly passed away earlier today. RIP Sabu.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Pat Mcafe. Gunther. Lyra Valkyria. Becky Lynch, and. Randy Orton were all seen showing up to the venue.

LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu vs Drew Mcintyre vs Damien Priest WWE United States Championship Fatal 4 Way.

This was a fantastic opener, that was centred around non standardised energy bursts. Yes this was a fatal 4 way Match, but this felt fresh, and original, and was the definition of the title Backlash. The Drew vs Jacob tease, the superb counteraction sequences, the well timed near falls, and the intertwining storylines, complete with some awesome table spots, and of cause Jeff Cobb debuting, and wrescking  everyone, which built into the finish, as jacob retained, and wondered what the hell is Solo doing.

Becky Lynch vs Lyra Valkyria WWE Womens Intercontinental Championship.

This was by far my Match of the night. All through this in my mind I kept thinking that this Match was soundtracked by the song Shipping Up To Boston by The Dropkick Murphys, because of these ladies showed why the term the fighting Irish is even a phrase. The Match was given time breathe, as it was layered with excellent counteractions, near falls, and fantastic submission attempts, this remimded me of Bret Hart in 1992, and how he was able to manipulate body parts, and make into something special. Lyra Valkyria retained. I loved this.

Dominic Mysterio vs Penta WWE Mens Intercontinental Champion.

I didn't like this. It felt like a TV Match being played out on a PLE, complete with all the usual TV trappings. Dom retained, this did nothing for me.

Pat Mcafe vs Gunther.

On paper this didn't look good, no matter how good the build was, but if i'm honest I had fun watching this. It won't win any Match of the year awards, but this just proved my point. Pat Mcafe showed what f s means, fighting spirit, because he never gave up until the end. Gunther got the win, after Choking out the commentator. Michael Cole was fantastic here, as he had to put his bias to one side, and be there for his friend. I liked this.

John Cena vs Randy Orton WWE Undisputed Championship.

If history has taught me anything, it's that you should never play your hand more than once, WWE has done this many times when it has come to this rivalry. I was excited to see how this played out under a new creative direction, as the last remaining reminants of the old guard had left the building, however this took me back to those days, because I found this to be boring, and predictable. I can understnd why some people liked this, but overall it wasn't for me. This had the usual aspects of what I expected, from tables spots, and a nice cameo from R Truth, but the night belonged to Mr Cena as retained the belt, and scorned the fans as the show went off the air.

Overview of WWE Backlash.

I had fun staying up late like a good boy, to watch this, even though it wasn't a perfect show, it worked to fill the void until next years Mania.

WWE Backlash 2025 is a high 7/10

My Top 5 Funniest LA Knight Promos.

 Intro.

In the words of the theme from The Sopranos I woke up this morning, and in my own variation I needed a laugh, So this got me thinking about the Megastar LA Knight ( for some reason ) and I remembered a load of times that he's made me laugh. So sit back, and prepare to piss yourself with pure laughter. Yes I am including his time as Eli Drake from the NWA and TNA Impact.

5. Your Girlfriend.

This one is a bit more recent, but it's a goog one. Him. Humberto, and Elektra Lopez, I'm not your Daddy, because the only person who can call me Daddy is your girlfriend YEAH.

4. Stooge.

Calling The Miz a Stooge, agh yes I'm not afraid to call a stooge, a stooge, you stooge YEAH.

3. 50 Yards With In A School.

My god this one cuts beneath the bone, but it's so funny. He told Grayson Waller that it loks like he's ready to have his school picture taken, but it looks like he's not allowed within 50 yards of a school. I loved this.

2. Dummy.

Impact Wrestling back in 2016 didn't give us many talking points, that was until this happened, and if you don't find the Youtube dummy compilation funny, then you're simply a dummy, enough said you dummy YEAH

1. Shoes Of A Champion.

Christmas time on NWA Power. New year, new goals, now what does that sound like Goals more like gold. Yeah. Don't ever change mr Knight.

AEW Collision Review 9.5.2025.

Timeless Toni Storm Segment.

Timeless Toni Storm doing a promo, from the box seats. I loved this, from sex talk, to calling out everyone in Womens division to come at her and fight for her belt, because she's timeless. Yes people I have a naughty mind. 

Paragon Segment.

The Grizzled Young Veterans want to batter the Paragon, and you know it. I'm here for it.

Ricochet vs Angelico.

This was a fun Match, that reminded of something from UK Independent scene. Ricochet got the win, and bullied Zack Gowen, who was sat in the crowd with his kids, by taking his leg off and walking away with it. Ok I guess.

8 Man Tag Match The Don Callis Family vs The Outrunners AR Fox and Bandido.

This was a fun Match, that was well engineered to garner hype, and was moulded together perfectly, and was a lot of fun. The Don Callis Family got the win.

Jon Moxley Video Promo.

Jon Moxley centred his own focus on Samoa Joe, in an excellent video promo. I liked this.

Anthony Bowens vs Lee Johnson.

Anthony Bowens, beat. Lee Johnson in what was a fun TV Match, and then had a nice time scissoring his dad Billy Gunn.

Gates Of Agony Segment

I like The Gates Of Agony, and I like Big Bill, and Bryan Keith, but which one's better, there's only one way to find out. Fiiiiiiiiiigggggght. Man this was awesome.

Kris Statlander vs Willow Nightingale.

This fell flat, and was a complete let down given the history both ladies have together. Marina Shafir got involved, and helped Statlander get the win. One other thing, is it me or is Wheeler Yuta starting to annoy me.

Skye Blue Vingnette.

Skye Blue is back next week. I like this, because Skye has had a rough time of it of late.

Konosuke Takeshita and Josh Alexander vs Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno.

I have a question for you guys. Who are The Dark Order in 2025? I mean really. Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno got wrecked here pretty quickly. I can't help but think that this was a complete waste of time.

Speedball Mike Bailey vs Dralistico 2.

Even though this fell into the void of being a TV Match, it was a good blend of styles that saw Bailey come away with the win.

Daniel Garcia vs Dax Harwood.

I liked this. From Daniel Garcia becoming his own version of the running man. Dax Harwood insulting the fans, and the fans giving it back to him, both men fighting it out in the fans, and Dax taking out his frustrations on Nigel Mcguinness, this led to the commentator snapping and heading to the ring, and attacking Dax causing the finish, and giving Garcia the win.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This made for an interesting Friday morning. The show wasn't bad, it just felt strange watching it on a Friday, and not a Sunday evening. The action went from average to good, as the show just felt like filler.

This weeks AEW Collision is a mid 7/10

 

 AEW Dynamite Review 8.5.2025.

Hangman Adam Page Segment.

Once again i'm skipping the intro, because this episode doesn't need an intro. The echoes of good vs bad were played here to perfect execution. Hangman sold the look of confliction perfectly, he explained his actions from over the past few years, whilst stating that his chapter with Swerve Strickland is now closed, because this left him feeling nothing, and he doesn't know why, this is why he's putting his focus on Double Or Nothing, when he faces Will Osperay. This brought out the brit. Both men staired each other down, and Will spoke about how their counteracting worlds have now collided. He spoke about how this Match means the world to them, and getting the win would make Hangman smile again. This was a fascinating character piece, that delved into the world of how can they coexist, when the Don Callis Family got involved, adding an extra layer to this story. Will accidentally put his hand on Hangman. Next week the pair will face Konosuke Takeshita and Josh Alexander.

FTR Segment.

FTR, and Stokeley Hathaway then started threatening Tony Schiavone, and Tony wasn't having it. Go on Tony mate, they then also called out Daniel Garcia.

4 Way Womens Title Eliminator Match Timeless Toni Storm vs Penelope Ford vs Anna Jay vs Harley Cameron vs Thunder Rosa.

I liked this. From Thundertits reuniting. Megan Bayne coming out and wrecking everyone, and Penelope Ford getting kicked in the gooch. The physicality was decent, and I had fun watching this. Toni got the win.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment.

MVP adressed the fans, calling for all Tag Teams to step up to the champs, so step forward Top Flight, they cut a stereotypical babyface promo, and then got wrecked my MJF. Max then got in the face of Bobby Lashleys face, and said that he also hurts people. Bobby said next week he will let Max know if he's in or not.

The Elite Segment.

The Elite, meeting with The Deathriders. Yeah, it looks like this happened, more on these guys later.

Nick Wayne vs Christian Cage's Mate.

Nick Wayne, beat Rhyno, yes RHYNO, to retain his ROH TV Championship. Rhyno in our year of 2025. Cage walked out on his family in the aftermath by not putting the belt on his son.

Rush Segment.

Rush wants to kill Kevin Knight. Money makes people do funny things doesn't it.

The Young Bucks and Ricochet vs Mark Briscoe Speedball Mike Bailey and Swerve Strickland.

This was sensational, and arguably the best thing on the show. It was fast and fluent from the start, and it didn't let up. In the words of Metallica it was frantic. The Bucks and Ricochet got the win.

MJF And Will Osperay Segment.

Yes please. Yes please. Book this right now Tony. This was my favourite Match from last year, and I would love to see this again.

Renee Paquette Interviews Jamie Hayter.

This was fantastic. Jamie said that at Double Or Nothing she wants the real Mercedes, and not the brand. This led to an all out brawl, that came out on the stage, and the box area, this left me thinking, just what would those old men from The Muppets think. I liked this.

Willow Nightingale Segment.

Kris Statlander wants to be friends again with Kris Statlander, sing it with me. Why can't they be friends, why can't they be friends.

Kazuchika Okada vs Kevin Knight.

Like I said earlier. Money makes people do funny things. Rush attacked Kevin Knight. Knight and Okada then had a good Match filled with moments that made this a perfect assortment of Styles. Okada got the win with a rainmaker.

Samoa Joe vs Claudio Castagnoli.

I liked this. The Match played like a hard worked, well paced, clinical affair, Joe got the win by putting Claudio in the Clutch. The rest of the Deathriders came out, and were made to watch as Claudio got brutalised by Joe, in the same way Hook and Shibata were, basically saying an eye for an eye.

Overview of AEW Dynamite. 

I liked this broadcast. It may not have been a stand out akin to what the last few weeks have been, but this continued AEW's run of solid shows.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 8/10.
