 My Top 5 Wednesday Night Wars Moments.

Intro.

From October 2019, the Pro Wrestling world got taken back to the mid nineties with the introduction of the Wednesday Night Wars. In 1995 WCW entered the Monday night viewing race, when the Ted Turner, and Eric Bischoff's led Atlanta based company, went head to head with He Who Shall Not Be Named's Monday Night Raw, therefore creating the Monday Night wars. This was an industry led phenomanom that shaped the landscape of the sport for decades to come. Fast forward to August 2019, and the emerging AEW had just announced that they had signed a deal with TNT, to bring back Pro Wrestling to weekday nights, being given the wednesday night 8pm slot, starting on the 2nd of October. WWE counteracted this by putting NXT right up against it, and this as a fan it made for some great viewing, and awesome moments, that differed in quality.

5. Le Dinner Debonair October 21st 2020.

Ok I thought that a good way to kick off this list, would be bringing up Jim Cornettes Favourite AEW Segment ever. ( sarcasm is real people ) I loved this segment. It was fresh. It was funny, and it was a great way to lead up to the next nine months of storytelling. Hey Young Bucks screw you is just priceless.

4. The Rise Of Cameron Grimes.

I don't do shout outs very often, but I will here, so here goes nothing. Thank you Adam Wilbourn from Whatculture WWE for this phrase. Errrrrrrrrrrr Cameron Grimes. I loved this character to the point that I spent money on WWEEuroshop on buying this guys t shirt. His run against Dexter Lumis. LA Knight, and segments with Ted Dibiase Snr were hilarious. That house segment.

3. Penta vs Kenny Omega October 28th 2020.

This Match was a blessing in disguise, and a pleasure to watch. The physicality that was on display here was another level, as their chemistry shone from the start, to finish. This was awesome, as it's one of the Matches that I go back to on a regular basis.

2. The 1st Fight Pit.

This was another look at how both company's were playing each others cards games. This Match is questionable given who this is linked with these days, but this came before the controversy, and it was excellent. Matt Riddle, and Timothy Thatcher tore the house down.

1. Iiiiiiiiiiits Sting. 

This was heartwarming, even if it's tinged with controversy, which I won't disclose online. This segment has underlays of pure joy, from the overwhelming feeling that ran through my body, at a time when I needed it, to the joy that could be heard in Tony Schiavone's voice. This is one of those moments that you want to watch over and over again, like a good Disney Movie in my opinion.

 My Top 5  Insights From Friday Night Smackdown 8.11.2025.

Honourable Mention.

Hello Alexa, and. Charlotte. Were The Kabuki Dr's and we will be misting you today. I love Heel Kabuki Warriors.

5. WWE Pricing Issues.

As I was watching Cody Rhodes opening segment, and his following promo dual with Malakai Black. I noticed multiple seats in the top tier of the arena were empty. I think this is something that WWE need to look at, case and point. I recently bought a ticket to see Friday Smackdown at the OVO Wembley Arena in January, and I spent £160 pounds on a ticket, now you compare this to a house that I went to back in 2023 at the same venue I spent £54.95 on a seat in the gods. I was able to afford my ticket for the January go around because I had money left over from buying a new TV, but just because I could afford a ticket, that doesn't mean that other fans with families are that fortunate. This needs addressing before it's two late.

4. Ilja Dragonov Open Challenge For His United States Championship.

Over the past few months Friday Night Smackdown has come under criticism for creative decisions, but if i'm being honest, I don't think it's that bad. The United States Championship Open Challenges, that have come from both Sami Zayn, and. Ilja Dragonov have delivered, and this curve ball Match was a good bit business, I just feel that there's a lot of negativity going around the industry at the minute. Ilja retained against Johnny Gargano. I feel that DIY aren't long for this world.

3. Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax.

I didn't like this. I'm bored of watching these two work together, because i've seen this all before. Nia won, and I don't care.

2. Hello R Truth.

I get why WWE has reverted back to the same old formula with R Truth, but I found his interaction with Nick Aldis quite funny. What can I say. I have the humour of a 7 year old, and i'm 38. Man that's worrying.

1. Giulia Loses Her Womens United States Championship.

I think this made sense. The booking of Giulia has been terrible this year, and her having the Womens United States Championship, has done nothing for her, so putting the belt on Chelsea Green is a good move. Oh and hello Ethan Page.

 My Top 5 Pro Wrestling Noughties Stars Were Are They Now.

Intro.

Pro Wrestlers only have a limited time of the shelf, and this can be seen as troubling. If you watch Darren Afronovsky's The Wrestler. Mickey Rourke plays a Pro Wrestler who's best years were behind him, as the riggers of holding on to his past became the main theme of his characters arc. This is a back drop for when the lights go out on any Pro Wrestling career, when their time runs out in the mainstream.

5. Mr Kennedy.

Better known as Ken Anderson, he made his name in the WWE in the mid 2000's becoming a stand out star, with loads of charisma. Ken would leave the WWE in june of 2009, due to his actions being made to look unsafe. He would then go on to have a seasoned time working for TNA, he would leave the company in 2016. Ken now owns a Pro Wrestling school, and hosts a podcast called Mic Check, which is well worth checking out.

4. The Pope D,Angelo Dinero.

The Pope D, Angelo Dinero is now working for the NWA, and has recently held gold in the promotion. He's most remembered for his run in TNA, and angering Cm Punk when he was in the WWE.

3. Crimson.

Real name Anthony Mayweather. I couldn't find a lot of info on him, and where he is today, but from what I could gather he's currently working for the NWA.

2. Matt Morgan.

Matt is a currently retired Pro Wrestler, who has since taken up politics, becoming the Deputy Mayor of Longwood Florida. The notion of a Pro Wrestler turning to politics after retirement isn't new, but it's nice to see performers carve out a career for themselves, post the road grind.

1. Chris Harris.

Better known as the WildCat Chris Harris, he's currently not under a TNA contract, but he does have his own Youtube Channel were he reviews cars called Chris Harris On Cars. He has a regular posting schedule on social media, were he talks about his past career.

 AEW Dynamite Review 6.11.2025.

Tony Schiavone Segment.

I liked this. AEW kicked off Dynamite following last weeks brilliant ending angle. Tony Schiavone was telling us about the new National Championship, that was until The Opps circled the ring. Samoa Joe cut a scaving promo on Tony, whilst stating that he doesn't care if Tony knew anything about what happened last week. This was fascinating to watch, as the dynamic of good vs evil was played out. Hangman made the save, as his friends Eddie Kingston, and Hook kelped him. Hook took to the mic, and then challenged them tp put their trios belts on the line. Tony Khan then confirmed this for the main event.

Orange Cassidy vs Claudio Castagnoli Blood And Guts Advantage Match.

I liked this. The Match was an excellent balance of two styles coming together, and a complete booking master stroke of TV Match. Claudio got the win, in what was a great opener.

Don Callis Is On The Hunt.

Mark Briscoe challenged Kyle Fletcher to put his TNT Championship on the line, at Full Gear. This gave Damn It Don Callis the idea that if Mark loses, then he'll have to leave The Conglomeration. Don then continued to try and entice The Young Bucks, which left Jurassic Express to leave them some money. Both teams will face each other at Full Gear in a 1m Dollar Trios Match with Kenny Omega, and. Josh Alexander. I can't wait to see this.

Womens Tag Team Tournament Match 1st Round.

Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron, beat. Mercedes Mone and Athena, in what was a suprising fun paced TV Match. I liked this.

National Championship Competitors Announcement. 

Tony Schiavone then told us that at Full Gear, there will be a Casino Gauntlet Match to crown the first National Championship, and the first two competitors will be Bobby Lashley, and. Shelton Benjamin. I didn't like this. It was another run of the mill TV promo, that was designed to keep the feud between The Demand, and The Hurt Syndicate going, as MVP and Ricochet laid in verbal barbs towards one another. This wasn't for me.

Darby Allin vs Daniel Garcia Blood And Guts Advantage Match.

This was my Match of the night, by a long mile. From Darby using Daniel as a human pepperami, and chomping on his arm. Darby got necktied, and then had a meeting with the steel steps. Both men managed to elevate the physicality from minor plunder, and Darby selling his desperation was the main plot of the story of the Match, and it was great. Daniel tried to humiliate Darby, by using the scorpion deathlock, but this back fired as Darby got the win with his dads move. Oh and hello Pac. The Conglomeration, and. The Deathriders then had a mass brawl to take this rivalry to Saturday's Collision.

FTR Segment.

This was the segment of the night. I loved this. Cash Wheeler called out Brodido, only to find that they're trapped in their changing room. Dax noticed that Bandido's family was sat at ringside, and then proceeded to insult his Gran, this made me think. I know what would happen if this was my mum, she would deck Dax, no questions asked, she would batter him. Gravity took the fight to the pair, but before that Brodido escaped thanks to Borody smashing his fist through a paper wall. Even though he did put his hands on a glorious man, the only thing that was missing was the words. Here's Brody. Brodido then attacked FTR to end the segment. I loved this. I get why some people might look at this as bad creative, but I laughed my arse watching this.

Mina Shirakowa vs Megan Bayne Blood And Guts Advantage Match.

I didn't like this. It was over far to quick, and very predictable. However Timeless Toni Storm on commentary was hilarious. Hemp aftershave, and references to orgies. don't ever change Toni. Megan got the win, and then all the ladies involved in the womens Blood And Guts Match then had a brawl. Can you say Predictable. Oh and hello Marina Shafir.

The Opps vs Hangman Adam Page Hook And Eddie Kingston AEW Trios Championships.

I liked this. The Match was contested with solid physicality, and great Matches within the Match. The final exchanges were very telling into how this Match would play out. Hangman and Hobbs had a fight on the ramp, that ended with our Heavyweight Champion getting taken off the stage. Hobbs then dispatched of Hook with a back breaker to retain The Opps Trios Belts. As the Match ended I felt a sense of pleasure, because i'm so pleased to see Eddie Kingston back in the ring. Long live The Mad King.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This was a better return from last weeks show. I understand somethings on this broadcast might not be for everyone, but wrestling should be in the eye of the fan. So if you enjoyed this show, then that's all that matters.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

Top 5 Lists Of Pro Wrestlers With Failed Careers.

Warning.

This article contains references to sexual misconduct, and assault. Reader Discretion is advised.

5. Jimmy Havoc.

I have to be very careful when I put this to screen, for legal reasons. Jimmy Havoc was a stand out name on the UK indie circuit from the years of 2004-2018, and would then head out to the states working for ROH, and. AEW, but in June of 2020 Jimmy was suspended after multiple accusations surrounding the speaking out allegations, that were levied against him. He would receive counselling due to his drug issues, and mental health problems. He was let go by AEW in August of that year.

4. Lars Sullivan.

When Lars Sullivan debuted in WWE on the 17th of April 2017 in NXT, there was a lot promise surrounding his arrival. His main Roster run was heavily plaqued with issues, from his mental health, all the way to his departure in 2021 which came around due to his controversial past, mainly to do with his connections to the adult entertainment world, and unfotgivable historic posts to social media.

3. Jack Gallagher.

This is another individual that was accused of acts of sexual misconduct. I've heard many things about Jack, from some people that used to know him. And from those that worked with him on the indipendent scene, and if i'm being honest, his excuses for why he was released just says everything. The drink is no excuse. He was let go by WWE in June of 2020, whilst being brought up in speaking out movement.

2. Marty Jannetty.

If I could describe Marty Jannetty in one sentence I would say this. He's Mickey Rourke's Character in The Wrestler made real. From being let go by the WWE on multiple occassions, to going down the rabbit hole of drug addiction, he has ruined his career, and it's sad because, he's a story of what could've been.

1. Michael Elgin.

This stunned me, because I was a fan of him in his ROH days. He was another person who got brought up in the speaking out movement. From not taking allegations seriously, to accounts of harressment, this would nearly blacklist Elgin, he still wrestles to this day, but his career has taken a very serious downfall.

 The Top 5 Times The BBFC Pissed Of A British Pro Wrestling Fan.

Intro.

Who here likes the idea of censorship, well not me that's for sure. I get why these authority groups exist, I just feel that sometimes they get things wrong. So this is the top 5 times when UK Film censors The BBFC pissed of one UK Pro Wrestling fan, me.

5. Fully Loaded 2000.

The reason this was given a 15 back in the year 2000 was met with a fair bit of understanding, but future releases relating to streaming services, and the tagged classics series that Silver Vision re-released from the years 2006-2012, some titles were sent back in for reclassification, and Fully Loaded 2000 was a casulty of this development. This angered me at the time, because I didn't understand the ruling surrounding explicit sexual content on media, but as I sit here on a Monday moring researching this list. I do get it know, because this played into how Pro Wrestling was perceived at the time.

4. ECW Living Dangerously 2000.

If I recall, this was heavily edited by the BBFC due to it's high level of excessive violence, it was rumoured that this show was banned, but these claims were highly exaggerated at the time by Powerlsam Magazine here in the UK. If I recall that is. I wanted to buy this back in the day, but my mum had other ideas.

3. WrestleMania 16.

I have fond memories of watching this PPV at my friends house, and I was excited for it's up and coming VHS release in the year 2000, and then it came out. I was stunned to see an 18 certificate slapped all over the cover. I believe this was due to highly over sexualised content, which nowadays is considered to be laughable, but under the BBFC rules back then this was a huge no no. The overall violence of the show would get a 15 at best, but at the time there was substantial worry surrounding how Women were treated on TV, and all media at the time, so I feel that this played into the decision. My mum bought me the video as a treat, and even she thought that this was a 15 at best. I was lucky, because I was able to get a copy, whilst my friends, well that's a different story.

2. WCW Uncensored 1999.

My Mum and Dad back when I was growing up, at one point were quite PC when it came to what I watched on TV. A great example of this was WCW Uncensored 1999. When I was researching this video I found out that Warner Bros, who distributed WCW videos in the UK, and. America showcased this to the BBFC in late July of 1999, and they were told that if they want a 15 certificate, then 17 seconds of footage would have to be removed. I'm not sure were the cuts were made, but this angered me, even with the 17 seconds intact, it wouldn't have changed the tone of the show, so this was a bit pointless. I must point out that this allegded.

1. WWE Royal Rumble 2000.

This has now been reclassified for the Netflix release to a 15 certificate, back in the year 2000 this titled carried an 18 certificate, due to sexulaised content, which by todays standards is laughable, even though the thought of Mae Young getting out her waps for the pervs in attendence would put a lot of kids in therapy today. This caused outrage in the O'malley household. My mum banned me from buying the video release. I get this now, due to the how the BBFC handled things at the time. But even still to this day, even on Netflix, this should be an 18.

Monday Night Raw Review 4.11.2025.

Cm Punk Segment.

This was the right way to start off the show. Punk was given the walk through treatment, and at this moment I could feel parts of the internet start to burn, with many fans thinking the words. Are you watching Tony Khan. I loved this part of the segment. Punk basked in the love of the fans, as he cut to the chase. He thanked his wife AJ Lee. The legend that is Larry the dog, Jey Uso, and most importantly the fans. What came next had me howling with laughter. Punk said that if Seth comes back and gets in his business, he would put him back on the shelf, and then he proceeded to swing about the belt, and saying that he will be a fighting champion, que Logan Paul, who made Punk become that Steve Carrell meme, as he could be heard saying. NO NO NO NO NO NO. Logan did his job of insulting the fans, and creating a hot white bed of heat. This segment then went downhill when Paul Heyman came out, and his verbalage, and Bron Breakkers verbalage were both looked with awkward eyes with me. The fight that ended this segment was predictable, and it was a shame, because this had promise.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

The Kabuki Warrioirs, and. AJ Styles, and. Dragon Lee, were seen showing up to work.

Stephanie Vaquer And Nikki Bella vs Roxanne Perez And Raquel Rodriguez.

This was a bit flat, and as fan of all of these ladies, a real shame. Roxy got the win with her pop rocks finisher.

Penta vs El Grande Americano.

I didn't like this. I thought this was another flat TV Match, that offered up absolutely nothing. Penta got the win, thanks to a whole load of shenanigans.

Kabuki Warriors Vingnette.

Be still my Kabuki loving heart, because I love those two as heels. I'm loving Heel Kabuki Warriors.

Dirty Dom Segment.

This was the highlight of the night. Dirty Dom getting cut off by his own dad. This was no notes perfect. That's all I have to say. I loved this

Becky Lynch Hijacks The Show.

This came in a close second for highlight of the night. Becky took over the show with fire. She took jibes at Maxine Dupri, whilst insulting the fans. I think you could say that she was breaking mad during this segment. I loved this.

Bayley And Lyra Valkyria vs The Kabuki Warriors.

I liked this. Was this a blow away stallwart? No it wasn't, but it did the job that it needed to do. The chemistry from all four ladies was on par, and this made for an enjoyable watch. The Kabuki Warriors got the win, after Asuka submitted Lyra. Alexa and Charlotte got their revenge for last week.

AJ Styles And Dragon Lee vs JD Mcdonagh And Finn Balor WWE Tag Team Titles.

This was excellent, and on par with their fantastic Match from two weeks ago. From shenanigans caused by the dirty one, to both teams looking like they were having fun, as the physicality ramped up. AJ And Dragon got the win, oh and hello Sheamus.

Jey Uso Segment.

Am I the only person who thinks that Jey Uso isn't feeling  very Ucy, because he doesn't care about the Tribal Chief, oh i'm getting flashbacks.

John Cena Tournament Opening Matches Announcement.

This is not how I would've done things. I would make this just like the FA Cup draw. Adam Pearce could announce the home teams, and Nick Aldis the away teams. WWE missed a trick on this occaission.

Jey Uso And Cm Punk vs The Brons.

This was a colossal waste of time. The Match was thrown out, as a result of a double count out, and this was a real let down. But it was the aftermath that got the internet talking, as the beat down on Jey Uso was continuing, Logan Paul came out, and after he saved Punk, he turned on him, with a brass knuckle salute, he then handed the knucks to Paul Heyman as the show went off the air. Many fans looked at this, with the eyes of Logan joining The Vision, but I don't think that's the case. I think this is the build to ( insert William Regal Voice ) Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargaaaaaaaaaames.

Overview of Monday Night Raw.

This wasn't a perfect broadcast, not by a long shot, but it functioned better than what it has done in recent weeks. The Matches remained in the range from poor to good, as the promo segments stole the show.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 7/10.

 My Top 5 WCW Wrestlers Were Are They Now Pt1.

Intro.

Agh yes. WCW. Back in the early 90's, to the early 2000's, this company was at the time, the gift that kept on giving, but what happened to the men and women that made the company so special. Well sit back, make yourself a snack, and I will tell you were some of these stars are today.

5. Glacier.

Ok, if you guys are an avid viewer of the Wrestling Bios Reliving The War series on YouTube, then i'm sure that you guys are all very excited to see this guy arrive. ( again ) But after retirement from Pro Wrestling he became an actor with multiple titles to his name, he's also worked as an industry insider at Full Sail University. He still takes indi bookings for appearances, and now works as a backstage agent for AEW.

4. Shannon Moore.

I think this is genuinely a nice thing. Shannon is currently living in Tampa Florida, and he works as a client relations manager, helping those that have addiction issues. Moore has had his fair share of issues when it comes to addiction, so hearing how he's devoted himself to helping others, is genuinely something special. shannon is still active to this day, returning to the ring at ROH TV tapings last month.

3. Earnest The Cat Miller.

At the time of writing. Earnest's location was unknown, but he's still active in the business, as a fan favourite on the convention circuit. Even though in the company's later days. I had fun watching his character, as it acted like an escape from my to day grind of school.

2. Vampiro.

Vampiro is involved in many different ventures since retiring from Pro Wrestling, he currently works for Lucha Underground, and leads the Mexico City chapter of the citizen crime patrol, and also works on a scripted podcast. I wasn't the biggest Vampiro fan growing, because Sting was my guy, and by all accounts they didn't get along.

1. Mike Sanders.

Mike now works as a standard Comic. After WCW folded in March of 2001, he had a minor career on the indi circuit. I like this. Mike wasn't a comedy character in WCW, so hearing this is a suprise, but it's a nice reminder that there's life after the ring.

 My Top Insights From WWE SNME.

Intro. 

As I sit here on a cold Sunday Afternoon writing this pieece. I have to say that this is one of the best SNME's that WWE have managed to manifest, since it's reboot, as a 5 times a year TV special, that came into existance last December. It's no secret that I haven't been a big fan of these broadcasts in recent months, but this one was an enjoyable watch.

5. No Annoying Youtube Ads.

This entire broadcast if you were watching on catch up here in the UK, there was with no YouTube Ads, and this made the broadcast an easy breazy experience. This tells me that WWE have done something decent and listened to their audience, whilst dealing with the fall back, of not being on NBC stateside.

4. Tiffany Stratton vs Jade Cargill was a letdown.

As a fan of both Ladies involved, this pained me, because I didn't like this, and it's a shame, because this wasn't their fault. I lay this at the hands of the booking, and the lacksy daisy approach to this Match. Jade got the win, and i'm pleased for her, because as someone who has followed her since her days in AEW, this is truly awesome to see. I hope the booking matches, up to how far I think she has come along.

3. Cody Rhodes vs Drew Mcintyre WWE Undisputed Championship.

This was a good piece of business. Even though the result was never in doubt. I did enjoy it, because two of my favourite modern day competitors were going to face each other. From Drew calling back to the days of Cody's dad, the physicality being heavily layered, and the announcer table, and belt being well placed, and adding to the proceedings. Cody retained, and I had a blast watching this.

2. John Cena's Final Match Tournament Announced.

Even though I hated the video package that came with this. I do like the idea of a tournament to decide who retires big time John, but there is a worrying atribute to this as well. If Cena wins this could bring those old stories of John burying talent, that you would here in the early 2010's back. I think WWE need to play on the side of caution, and not get to carried away with this. John said that his last opponent would be earnt, and chosen, which leaves me to say this. Ha, yeah right.

1. Cm Punk Is The New World Heavyweight Champion.

As we went into this Match. I heard multiple sources that work within this area of the media, and they were all predicting a non finish, so not only did WWE leave with cream all over there faces, but the outcome of this Match was a reminder, that WWE can make the right choice. This was a sensible piece of booking, and one that I feel was made to appease sections of the fanbase. Jey Uso has come under critisism over the past month for his booking, which isn't his fault, and all I have to say is this. Even though Cm Punk is my favourite WWE Wrestler. I think that Jey will be fine, because this to me says that WWE are heading down the Solo heel turn, which to me sounds fascinating, because i'm another yeetaholic.

 Top 5 Times WWE Pissed Off It's Own Fanbase.

Intro.

Fanbases are a funny thing, because everyone has an opinion, from the toxic side of Taylor Swifts Swifties, to the evergrowing demand for content. This can annoy anyone fanbase, alongside varying quality of the product that you're consuming. WWE is no differant to this state of affairs, because this has been going on for as long as I can remember.

5. The Right To Censor.

The Summer of the year 2000 was a stark reminder for the then WWF, that they had to listen to what their audience was telling, this was evident with the Right To Censor faction. This was a direct dig at multiple parent orginisations, who were trying to tell the head of creative He Who Shall Not Be Named, to clean up his act. With these controls being done on a state to state measurement. This annoyed fans, they ruined Matches, and this allowed the whole situation to become an annoyance, and not a parody that was lost on fans.

4. Eat Your Food.

If you were a fan of the WWE in 2015, the there's a chance that you remember how the company acted like ignorant pigs, when it came to listening to it's fanbase. From force feeding fans the idea of liking Roman Reigns, to reducing Daniel Bryans role, to the incontinental Championship. This felt like a slap in the face to the fans that had stuck with the product.

3. HHH's Reign Of Terror.

I do feel that this is a double edged sword. On one hand this caused a lot of division within the fanbase. To me, this time period left me feeling a whole mixture of emotions. The first one was anger, because there was quite a lot of talent that got buried in this period, and the storylines ranging from the compelling, to weird, to outright offensive, this led some fans to not want to watch the product, so those fans turned off. Even this time period leaves me with two thoughts. If you were a hardcorist, then this wasn't for you, but if you were a fan like me, then the WWE was doing it's job, because they created a toxic heel, that I used to love see get his arse kicked. With that said. I do understand why some fans didn't like it.

2. Cm Punk Quits.

With Punk now being back in the company since late November 2023. You could make the argument that things have been going okay for the voice of the voiceless. This couldn't be said back in 2013. From having to work injured, and lingering tension from within the company, this all paved way for what came the night after the 2014 Royal Rumble. Because right before Monday Night Raw went to live. Punk had walked up to He Who Shall Not Be Named, and quit outright. This had been building for some time, and it goes to show. If tension is allowed to build, then the outcome could be catastrophic.

1. TKO Merger.

This is going to sound a bit hypocritical coming from me, because I've just purchased a ticket to WWE Friday Night Smackdown on the 16th of January next year on presale, and I had to spend £160 pounds on this little treat, But just because I was lucky enough to get a ticket, others might not be as fortunate. I saw a report last week that said, that when the TKO merger was finalised in September of 2023, how the ticket prices have gone away from the hands of the fans, and I get that business is business, at this point. The last time I bought a ringside for a WWE show was back in 2021, and it cost £85 pounds and this go around in January, I nearly ended up forking out £340, so you can see the aspect of were i'm coming from. Their are many fans who can't afford these prices, and it's going to get worse as time goes on. I just want what is fair for all fans.

 AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 Review 25.5.26. Written By Patrick O'malley. Intro. As this year has gone on, and the Summer is slowly creep...
