 My Top 5 Funniest Ariel Helwani Shut Downs.

Intro. 

Ariel Helwani has had an interesting time when covering the UFC, from pissing off fighters, to even getting banned by the promotion, he's truly ruffled, and cried into a lot of feathers, so lets take a look at some of the moments when he angered fighters.

5. Ariel Helwani vs Tito Ortiz.

If you had one question to ask the Huntington Beach Bad Boy, what would it be? Ariel in the early days of him covering the UFC asked Tito Ortiz what made him want to turn nice? And he said this. I don't like you, so i'm not answering.

4. Michael Bisping vs Ariel Helwani.

The Count has no time for Ariel, as their has been many moments in which Bisping has called him out on his Youtube Channel.

3. Ariel Helwani vs Jason Mayhem Miller.

Please check this out, because oh my, this is absolutely hilarious, because this could've gone south very quickly.

2. Ariel Helwani vs James Toney.

I think this was one of those moments in which I wanted Toney to smash this guy, because it would've looked like the school bully, beating up a nerd.

1. Dana White vs Ariel Helwani.

These guys have an entire ocean of hate between them, so to cover it here would take ages of my life, so all I will say is this. I would hate to be stuck in a room with these two, because one would get irate, whilst the other cried in a corner.

My Top 5 Favourite Snack Combos For Watching AEW.

Intro.

You guys know me, and you know that I love food, and I love Pro wrestling, and over the past few weeks my pallet has grown with my waistline, whilst watching AEW, so this gave me the idea to do my next food list, so heres goes nothing. 

5. MnMs Mini Cookies, And Malteasers.

In the words of guy Fieri. This combo is money, and absolutely awesome. Give the cookies a go.

4. Beer And Walkers Honey Roasted Peanuts.

I don't think you can go with Peanuts can, and if you throw in a cold one your laughing.

3. Crisps.

Crisps. Crisps. Crisps. Ready Salted, and cheese and oninon yes please. I just love crisps.

2. Sausage Rolls And Dorritos.

Ok before you judge me, hear me out. This combination actually works, and let me tell you, that in the words of Ned Flanders this is scrumdidilyumcious.

1. Breakfast Food.

Because when I review AEW Dynamite it's about 7am on a Thursday Morning. I need Breakfast food, Poptarts. Cereal bars, or if i'm feeling very naughty a doughnut.

 My Top 5 Insights From UFC Fight Night Usman vs Buckley.

Oversight.

As the Summer Rolls on Atlanta proves to be one of the best UFC crowds this year.

5. Alonzo Menified May Have Got The Win, But it was Oumar Sy, who takes Home The Respect.

Was this the most gratifying fight to ever grace the octagon? well no, but this was a solid bout that proved how far we have come in the terms of acceptence. Oumar is a French Fighter. MMA was banned in the country, and has only been allowed to be aired on TV for the past ten years, this means fighters could train but not take part. Menifield got the win.

4. Winning Causes Confusion.

Mansoor Abdul Malik, beat. Cody Brundage,by TKO, or did he. From what it looked like. Mansoor hit Brundage with a body shot, but it was an accidental headbutt. This was heavily delibertated amongst the Judges at cageside, to the point that the fans watching at home were left wondering, what's going on. Brendan Fitzgerald got the word of how the decision came to be, and it left me feeling a bit confused.

3. Raoni Barcelos Beats Cody Garbrandt.

I've seen some fans say online say that Cody showed great heart, and he did, but this was a hard fight to watch, because this fight was boring. Raoni got the win.

2. She's Back.

The Thug is back baby. Rose Namajunas, beat. Miranda Maverick in what was a solid performance.

1. All Hail The Nigerian Nightmare.

Kamaru Usman, beat. Jaquin Buckley, in what was an absolute all out war, that came complete with some rather fruity language.



 My Top 5 Insights From This Weeks WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

Intro.

I sat down last night, and watched this show, after a long day at my day Job, and the only word that came to my mind was, huh. This weeks Friday Night Smackdown was a thing wasn't it.

5. John Cena Segment.

Try and watch this after a long day at work, I dare you, because this was a flat promotrain, featuring LA Knight. Cody Rhodes, and. Randy Orton, and of course Big Evil John, and guess what? They all want the evil ones belt. Thank god for R Truth, who put a stop to this drivel, when he attacked Cena. Man this was bad. Not so good Al

4. LA Knight vs Carmelo Hayes vs Randy Orton vs Alistair Black Mens King Of The Ring Qualifier.

This was a flat outing, that saw Randy Orton took full advantage of some slow to moderate pacing, to get the win.

3. Jacob Fatu Is The Man.

I have no other words than Jacob Fatu is the man. I mean just look at him, this guy is money.

2. Queen Of The Ring Qualifier Piper Niven vs Michin vs Nia Jax vs Jade Cargill.

Jade Cargill got the win, in what was another lifeless encounter on this show. I was bored watching this.

1. John Cena and Cm Punk Segment.

Now this was much better, both of these guys have great chemistry, and this promo was solid gold. R Truth attacked Big Evil John again, and will now face Big Evil one next week.

 My Top 5 AEW Dynamite Moments.

Intro.

With AEW Dynamite 300 coming down the line in july. This got me thinking, what are some of AEW's flagship shows best moments. I mean their are so many moments to chose from.

5. Penta vs Kenny Omega.

AEW wasn't even a year old at this point, and they were already putting on bangers like this.

4. Bryan Danielson vs Hangman Adam Page Iron Man Match.

If you've never seen this Match, then I urge you to seek it out, because was simply majestic.

3. Elite And Hangman Adam Page Saga.

This whole storyline was a beautifully conceived masterpiece, that is one of the best storylines I have seen put together by a North American Pro Wrestling company. Enough said.

2. Bryan Danielsaon vs Kenny Omega.

When Aew ventured into New York city for the first time, the odds of being a new company on the block was something that Tony Khans gang of toys might have found daunting, but on this night, magic happened, because you need to see this Match.

1. Cm Punk vs MJF.

This is yet another longterm story, that had one of the best Pro Wrestling Matches that I have ever seen.

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. UFC hasn't been able to escape this. Multiple aspects of how the promotion has handled itself over the years has been, held over with scrutiny, so I decided to take a look at the moments that left me feeling a bit uneasy.

5. Julian Lane's Ultimate Fighter Run.

Season 16 of The Ultimate Fighter saw Shane Carwin, and. Roy Big Country Nelson, guide a group of aspiring Welterweights, as they competed on opposite teams, aiming to win a UFC contract, among those hopefuls was Julian Lane. His rant has become the stuff of meme legend, but when you big beneath the surface. I don't think he should've been on the show. He clearly had issues, and it was evident for all to see. This is why I feel that safeguarding is so important in the entertainment industry. Fighters are human beings, and not animals.

4. Fights In The Ultimate Fighter House.

The UFC's flagship show is one of the main courses for drama, bullying, and of course fights, when these fights happen in the house, then questions need to be answered. Why has been allowed to be broadcasted on national TV, when in the infant days of the company, they were trying to build their brand. Noah, and Waylon from season 5, and. Charlie vs Tony, from season 13 both come to mind.

3. Bethe Correia.

I can't condone someone bringing up another persons personal tragedy, in order to sell a fight, this is what happened in the build up to UFC 190. Suicide isn't something to be made fun of.

2. Colby Covington.

This guy is a walking talking trash bag, we all love him. Oh just me then. Colby has managed to anger a load of people over the years, but it was his rivalry with Jorge Masvidal, that changed the game, because he pretty much offended everyone.

1. Moving an entire PPV So That Jon Jones Could Fight.

2019 was a good year for the Vegas outlet, the only thing is, they pissed off a load of fans, when they moved UFC 232. This was rumoured so they could get around a Usada ruling surrounding a drug test abnormality when it Jones spiked for a banned substance. I understand that money of all that is evil, but this was a bit much if you ask me.

My Top 5 Takeaways From AEW Summer Blockbuster Dynamite.

5. Mistico And Everything Else.

Even though this did take up a good chunk of time. I enjoyed all of it, and everything else that came with this segment, complete with  both Matches. Blake Christian proved that he's a game competitor in defeat. MJF bringing back his Uncle Sam Gimmick, that makes him look like a mixture between. Apollo Creed, and. Kenny Powers, to him releasing Delorada's mask in the final outcome when The Hurt Syndicate beat. Speedball Mike Bailey. Mascara Delorada, and. Kevin Knight, in what was a solid TV Match was all well put together.

4. Man In A Ricky Martin T Shirt.

Shout out to this guy who was at ringside wearing a Ricky Martin t shirt because I think he's brave wearing that to a Pro Wrestling show. Private Emotion is a tune though. ( Says the Metallica Fan )

3. Hangman Adam Page Segment.

I wasn't a fan of this. The Deathriders, put a beating on Hangman, and Mox cut a Promo on him, and at this point all I have to say is who cares. Hangman thought back later on thanks to The Opps.

2. Will Osperay vs Swerve Strickland.

This was a flawless exhibition, that became a fascinating study in contrast. Will is the man who's on the rise, whilst Swerve is the former Champion who's trying to scratch his way back to the top. This became the backdrop to what was a fantastic opening Match. If you watch any Match from this broadcast, then I urge to check this out. It may have ended in a Time Limit draw, and some sneaker fun from The Young Bucks causing Will to save his friend.  But this was excellent. The Deathriders kicked off their episode long storythread. Oh Joy.

1. Kenny Omega And Kazuchika Okada Contract Signing.

All of this, was pure simplicity Pro Wrestling booking at it's best. The Video package that told the story of their rivalry was sensational, and their verbalage in the main segment made sense. Don Callis came out, and helped Okada deliver his own sense of Law And Order to Kenny's mid section. Even though I don't think that any words should've used. This was still awesome as it had the fans on their feet, oh and that belt looks Lovely.


 

My Thoughts On This Weeks Friday Night Smackdown. Intro. I've had to change things up here at O'malley Towers, this is because I had...
