Wrestling Chatter

Hi Guys, The last few weeks have been crazy in the world of wrestling from NJPW to AEW to WWE to all the independent promotions we all love to watch. This weekend was no exception with not only NXT Takeover: War Games, but also Survivor Series. Also, for the first time, there were matches not only between the red and blue brand, but also WWE's black and gold brand: RAW v Smackdown Live v NXT. On Saturday night, NXT once again put on an amazing set of matches showcasing some of the best and most diverse athletes in the entire industry and every match turned out. We had an amazing triple threat match between Pete Dunne, Damian Priest and Killian Dane mixing strong style and crazy athletics as well as an amazingly brutal singles match between Finn Balor and Matt Riddle. As expected the main war games match between Undisputed Era and the dream team of Tomasso Ciampa, Kevin Owens, Keith Lee and Dijakovic was phenomenal. However, my stand out match of the night was the women...

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...

Hey guys, With the run up to Wrestlemania, we've just had our last PPV before the grandest stage of them all *count how many times that's said from now until WM*. The card has been set for Raw and last night Smackdown solidified their path to New Orleans. The card was an odd bunch, from Becky & Naomi v Natalya and Carmella (which really had no lead up) to a bloody 6-pack challenge for the Championship (I mean it's one way to make sure most of the roster have a match). I had some reservations about last night but thank you WWE for not messing it up and having a pretty awesome PPV: Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rusev Another match with no real heat or long term lead up, however, Rusev Day v Nakamura Day is not something I am against. Two great workers who are extremely over with the crowd, it was always going to get the crowd hyped, especially on Rusev Day. I actually really enjoyed this match even though some people might have thought it was an obvious outcome and ma...

Hi guys, I'm an old lady so I had to wait until this morning to watch the Royal Rumble but by god wasn't it worth the wait. The two rumble matches were so amazing that I can't even do my usual match by match commentary because these two matches alone was worth a post! The men's rumble was obviously amazing but I have to say that, with the curfuffle of the MitB, the women really hit it out of the park in every single way. But, let's not get too excited too quickly... Men's Royal Rumble: Shinsuke Nakamura Before I start, I have to say: thank god for the winner because I got really scared that Roman was going to win near the end... imagine that! I'm not a Roman hater but I don't care for him, especially after what he did in the match (more to come later). It started with good ol' Rusev day and by god that pop was something to behold: I love the way that Rusev's embracing the love from the WWE Universe and the fact that his first opponen...

 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...

Hey guys, After the success of Saturday night's NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, I knew that no matter how hard the main roster tried, they would never be able to reach the standard of NXT. The show produced high quality in all matches put on from the well deserved win for Drew McIntyre, the balls of Nikki Cross, the 100/100 women's championship match AND Adam Cole debut, it seems as if NXT can do now wrong. If I could, I would've reacted to that but it all seemed too good to even criticise! It was time to see if the main roster could stand up against NXT for one of the biggest PPV of the year! The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan v The Miz and Miztourage As much as I am upset that the IC title isn't being defended, I have to be grateful that The Miz (one of my favourites) even has a match. This was a good match, not a main card match but a very good match nevertheless. I didn't doubt that it would've been with legends like The Hardy's and The Miz - it ...
