Wrestling Chatter

Hi guys, I've been watching wrestling for around 3 and a half years but it wasn't until the Cruiserweight Classic where I started to become more aware about different divisions in different companies. For wrestlers under a specific weight limit, Cruiserweights is the term used by most companies for wrestlers but in Japan they're known as Junior heavyweights. Each company also has a different weight classification but that doesn't mean you're restricted to being a Jr/ Cruiserweight if you're under this limit as seen by Kota Ibushi, Young Bucks, Finn Balor etc - you just can't be part of the division if you're over. So, if that's the basics then why am I writing this post? It all links to something Marty Scurll said in the Best of Super Junior Conference in May (cast your little minds back): "I'm dedicated to making this junior division the best in the world. I hate the idea that this Jr division is less than and the fact that peo...

Hi guys, It seems like only yesterday that I was trying to prove to the world that 205 Live was the best hour on television. Fast forward 100 episodes, and Triple H taking over the booking, and it seems like the world is finally realising what I always knew: the wrestlers on 205 Live put on some of the best matches in WWE. Maybe all it took was a change in management, a focus on the wrestling and a certain wrestler being released for this to happen. I mean 205 Live was always amazing but it maybe just needed a little push and some proper investment. So, today I'm going to be looking at the last 100 episodes and see the development of the show and what's making it so successful and best kept secret of WWE.  When the Cruiserweights started off on Raw, and eventually got their own show in 205 Live, there was high expectations for it to be amazing, especially considering the high standard of wrestling we'd seen in the Cruiserweight Classic. There was great promise an...

Hi guys, Another year, another Wrestlemania and another mixed set of matches and results. I normally do this sort of thing match by match but I'm finding it monotonous so I am trying something different - maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. Overall, I think that this year's WM was alright. There were some amazing matches, there were some meh matches, there were some good booking and there was some awful bookings of the superstars.  The Pre-Show The disappointment of the pre-show only came from the messy Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal because the CW championship and Women's Battle Royal was very good for a pre-show. The women's match was filled with rivalries and stories from the use of Paige on commentary to the NXT girls teaming together and giving the main roster women a run for their money. I was so happy and surprised that Naomi won but it was well deserved and could be the start of another push. I also can't praise Cedric Alexander an...

Hi guys,  With Wrestlemania around the corner, I thought I'd try something different and, instead of defo doing a WM weekend reactions post, I want to some sort of prediction/ what I expect from WM this year. I don't think this will include NXT Takeover fully but I will put a small section at the start with those brief predictions. NXT Takeover Aleister Black vs. Andrade “Cien” Almas (c) - NXT championship Winner: Aleister Black Ember Moon (c) vs. Shayna Baszler - NXT Women’s title Winner: Ember Moon EC3, Ricochet, Adam Cole, Killian Dain, Velveteen Dream and Lars Sullivan in a Ladder Match - NXT North American champion Winner: Ricochet  Authors of Pain vs. Pete Dunne & Roderick Strong vs. Undisputed ERA - Finals of The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament for the NXT Tag Team titles Winner: Undisputed Era Wrestlemania 34 In terms of the Battle Royals, I know it's really just two matches to make sure that all the superstars...

Hi guys, The last few weeks have been monumental for the 205 Live roster and it seems as if the company are finally going to give these superstars a chance. With the announcement sof Drake Maverick (Rockstar Spud) as new 205 Live GM and Triple H taking over the brand, it feels as if we're at a turning point where people will actually see how much these wrestlers can do. After the whole debacle with losing our good ol' King Nev and the whole Enzo Amore scandal, the Cruiserweights needed a new and fresh start and I think it's working! I've always been a fan of 205 Live and I'm not alone because there's an entire fandom population who are devoted to this brand and see talent oozing out in buckets. Unfortunately, that's not been the case with WWE and many of the audiences. I mean it was bad enough that the boys were getting 'this is boring' chants or having people leave before the show (which is ironic because I only bought SD Live tickets...

 Hiya guys, Well, it's been a long time since I've written and what a month its been: walkouts, releases and Kurt Angle wrestling again! What a month in WWE Wrestling! Well, I'm back with an exciting post and the title is pretty obvious, right? April 2016 was the first time I went to a WWE Live Event (I mean I didn't even watch it back then but went for my sister), fast forward a year and a half and, for my 21st birthday present, I got aisle tickets for Smackdown Live and my personal favourite - 205 Live. The night was absolutely amazing but my only issue was, surprisingly 205 Live... I think I'll address those issues before getting back to all the positives (which there were a lot more) I purposefully bought SD Live tickets to get to see my 205 Live babes like TJP, Drew Gulak, Tony Nese and Mustafa Ali. I was over the moon when I found out that some of the wrestlers from the UK championship was going to be there but they didn't tell me that thi...

Hi guys, After last nights Raw, I suddenly got really angry and I didn't really know who to vent too so obviously I turned to the internet. After the horror of Neville losing his Cruiserweight title to Enzo Amore, I didn't know what rubbish WWE were going to give us with the Cruiserweights and 205 Live - probably my favourite part of the wrestling week. Well thank you for not disappointing me WWE and managing to both impress and piss me off at the same time.  The show started off pretty normal with Enzo wanting a celebration without interruption or bodily contact - it showed that, even from the start, there was clear aggravation within the division. Then Enzo came out and started running his mouth as per usual and once again, he has managed to offend superstars and some of the 205 Live Universe *those like me obsessed with 205 Live*. Yes, I understand its a promo that was given to Enzo but he would've had a lot of lee way and probably would've said some of ...
