 My Top 5  Times When WWE Superstars Appeared On Sky Sports.

Intro.

Over here in the UK some fans would argue that we have been starved when it comes to Pro Wrstling content, because for most of the WWE's life their products have been placed behind paywalls, in recent years before the Netflix deal was even a thing, they had a brief home on TNT Sports, but before they were on Sky Sports here in the UK, and this is were they called home for thirty years, and in that time several superstars made appearances on their broadcasts.

5. Edge.

From what I could gather this took place in the latter part of 2004, due to the fact that Edge was on the injured list for most of this year, and it would also make a lot of sense giving the fact that WWE would usually hold TV tapings in the UK at this time. Watching Edge almost Bodyslam Jim White was quite funny.

4. John Cena Signs For Tottenham Hotspur.

I wish that I couldn't see this. John Cena Signs For Tottenham Hotspur, this came right before his miraculous comeback at the Royal Rumble. You have said that this gave the game away as to what was going to happen at the event, and all I have to say is this. As an Arsenal Supporter this sickened me. Joe Royle looked really happy here didn't he. You see guys even people who support the lily white scum can be seen as normal.

3. Bret The Hitman Hart.

It's no suprise that i'm a big fan of the man that called himself. The best there is, the best there was, and the best that there ever will be. Hearing Bret talk so openly when nowadays he acts like an old age shooter is very strange, but also very nice.

2. Lita.

This was awkward, they placed on her being interviewed next to where the Serie A scores were. Also did the lead singer of Maroon 5 email in, because i'm sure I heard his name, that saucy mofo, if you know, you know. I believe this happened before the Royal Rumble 2002.

1. Shawn Michaels.

This happened on April 30th, and Shawn had some famous words of advice for his favourite team Blackburn Rovers, don't do drugs, and do anything to win. Interesting fact the side they faced and lost to was Sham ham, sorry I mean West Ham 2-0, this is the team my mums side of the family supports, so you can imagine how I get treated at family events, beaing an Arsenal  an all.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts Review 13.11.2025.

Womens Blood And Guts.

The Team of The Sisters Of Mercy. Megan Bayne. Mercedes Mone, and. Marina Shafir, beat. Jamie Hayter. Kris Statlander. Harley Cameron. Willow Nightingale. Timeless Toni Storm, and Mina Shirakowa, in what was an awesome Match. Going into this, I felt a bit sceptical, due to  the build feeling forced, and that I thought that there would be pacing issue, however I have never been more happy to be wrong. This was a fantastic exhibition into the world of fantastical violence. From Statlander, and. Skye Blue getting busted open, the threat of some extreme accupuncture. Timeless Toni Storm Glass fisting ladies with glass, and Hello Puppet Mercedes, all the way to Julia Hart, and Thekla becoming escape artists. This moment reminded of the time WWE pressented No Way Out 2000, and Mick Foley managed to get away from HHH, by making a door out of the mesh of the cell. This showed a nice piece of creativity, that has been missing from the womens division for quite some time. Toni Storm Surrendered, and those big bad heels got the win. I loved this.

TDCWO Segment.

TDCWO took out Jurassic Express, and made a threat to Kenny Omega, who returns next week. I loved the detail here. The Young Bucks were living out of a trailer. In the words of Kazuchika Okada. Times up Bitches.

Hangman Adam Page vs Powerhouse Hobbs Falls Count Anywhere.

This Match ruled. From Hangman becoming Steel Chair Collateral. Both rings were used to good effect, and both men thought in the fans. The Match focused on their chemistre, which was a sensible move, as the final conclusion led to Hobbs getting pushed off a fan balcony, and through some eletrical cables. Even though I do think that this was a call back to the 1999 Royal Rumble. I loved this. Hangman got the win, and was then attacked by Shibata, this led to Samoa Joe coming out, and trapping Hangman in the Blood And Guts cage. Eddie Kingston, and. Hook made the save, and Hangman told Joe that if he wanted him in a cage, then all he had to do was ask, so he made their Match at Full Gear was made to a Steel Cage Match. I think that this is a bad idea. AEW are running three cage Matches back to back in over 9 days, this can be seen as two much in a short space of time.

Ricky Steamboat Segment.

What do you get when you put Ricky Steamboat in a segment with FTR, well if i'm being honest, a miss fire. Brodido made the save. 

Mens Blood And Guts. The Conglomeration vs The Deathriders.

I loved this. The Match catered to the overarching theme of Matches within the Match, that were centred around chaos, and this became the backbone of the of the Match. Darby Allin proved that he has no back ( again ), Jon Moxley has an addiction to forking people. Mark Briscoe and Wheeler Yuta played 1 2 3 4 We declare chair wars on top of the cage, and Pac, with help from Gabe Kidd, launched Darby through a flamed grilled table in a spot that Keith Flint would've been proud of. As the final stages deepened. Mark Briscoe had had suplexed Pac through a table, and Daniel Garcia was having some weapon fun of his own. Mox tapped out, giving The Conglomeration the win. This Match had it's own unsung hero's, From Orange Cassidy's selling, to story of the Match being a perfectly contructed look at Mark Briscoe. This was perfect. 

Overview Of AEW Blood And Guts.

This the best that AEW has looked all year, and an easy win for the promotion. I loved this show.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts 2025 Is a clear 10/10.

 Top 5 AEW Wrestlers Who Are Rumoured To Be Difficult To work With.

Intro.

Some people have said that over time the world of Professional Wrestling is a big family, now even though I don't buy into this manifesto, when you dig beneath the surface it looks like a high school playground, complete with big difficulties that most people find in any job, this is when you have to turn things down, I've been in this situation many times before.

5. Dr Britt Baker.

At the time of writing Britt Baker hasn't been on TV for some time, and even though I don't think that her attitude had nothing to do with this. I feel that the rumour, and her real life played a massive part of this. She's rumoured to have fallen out with Jamie Hayter, and having real life altercations with Alicia Atout, and. Thunder Rosa. I remember watching AEW AAA when it aired, and I know that reality TV is made to frame people in certain ways, but this show portrayed her as a self entitled talent, and this didn't help her at all looking back.

4. MJF. 

This was centred around money, and this all came to fruition in the days, and hours leading up to Double Or Nothing 2022, when he put Wardlow over. This gave fans a look at what was going on behind the scenes. Max had felt frustrated, and it begged the question of how long has this been going on. This gave way to the famous fire me promo that Max cut on the 1st of June edition of Dynamite that came in the first segment of the show. I personally think that this was a shoot, because of the things that he brought up.

3. Andrade El Idolo.

This one to this day, just makes me think two things, the first one is grow up, and the next one is this. I think he's the master of his own downfall. He left AEW in late 2023 to go back to the WWE after his contract ran out, but his time in the orlando company was met with some some contention, as he got suspended for having a fight with Sammy Guevara. He would leave the WWE in September of this year under another cloud of contention, this time it was due to his backstage behaviour, and rumours of a wellness policy violations.

2. The House Of Black.

This one is hard to believe in my opinion, I mean if you buy into anything that Disco Inferno says. However I think that their might be some truth here. It was known that Malakai was known to not want to be booked to lose, and this can quite difficult, and detrimental in this industry. I know the buck doesn't end with Black, but there does come a time when you have to say when.

1. Jake Hagar.

This comes from the line of contract negotiations. Jake has been very open about his feelings with WWE, and. AEW Management, especially Tony Khan. This is what puts Jake on this list, because when you work in this industry, you eat a lot of what you hate, in order to have what you like, so all this says to me is. You have to see things from both sides.

 Monday Night Raw Review 11.11.2025.

Superstars Seen Turning Up To Work.

Shinsuke Nakamura. Damien Priest. The Kabuki Warriors, and. Stephanie Vaquer, were all seen showing up to work.

HHH Opening Segment.

HHH kicked off the show, with an introductory speech aimed at John Cena, stating all of his achievements. I normally don't like rah rah speeches, but given the fact that this was john's last appearance on Raw in Boston, this actually made sense, he brought John out, and the pop he got was insane. He spoke about how on his last WWE Broadcast Superstars will be looking to the future, as NXT stars will be involved in exhibition Matches with Main Roster stars, and  talked about what were his goals were for this last go around. I get why some fans still don't like John, but when you dig beneath the surface his ability to connect with fans is something special, and when he's gone, he will be gone, so drink this in as much as you want. Dirty Dom Mysterio then came out, and he and John had a great Promo Dual. This resulted in Dom being told by his boss, that's he's putting his IC Championship on the line against John, and this happened straight away. The Match followed the same old pattern that is a John Cena Match in our year of 2025, and it worked, because I didn't see this coming. The Physicality was great, and the near falls were slotted in with ease. John got the win, and was praised backstage by his peers backstage, as Rey Mysterio, and. Cody Rhodes congratulated him. I liked this.

Damien Priest vs Rusev Last Time Is Now Tournament.

I liked this. It felt like I was watching 1995 Fed, but in the best ways possible. The Physicality had an old school feel to it, and it was refreshing to see. Rusev got the win, and this makes sense. If this is the route that WWE are taking with John's last go around, then giving old ideas a fresh coat of paint, with new creative eyes is a good idea.

Adam Pearce Segment.

Adam Pearce made the IC Womens Championship Match for Next. Maxxine Dupri vs Becky Lynch next week at Madison Square Garden, this angered the champ who then decked Maxine, oh and Dragon Style is WWE's way of Barney Gumble styling our Tag Team Champions. I like it. I hate it.

Cm Punk Segment.

Cm Punk came out, and went straight to business, calling out Logan Paul, because he was in the mood for a fight. Logan came out, and the man who thinks that he's smarter than the average bear, had a great promo dual. He was joined by The Vision, and Paul Heyman proceeded to verbally shot him down, as the threat of the fight escalated. The Vision were then ran off by Jey Uso, and. Cody Rhodes. Punk was then heard telling Adam to tell The Vision to get another team member. This was the build up for hello William Regal Waaaaaaaaaaaaaargames. Oh and hello Mr Regal. I liked this.

Stephanie Vaquer vs Raquel Rodriguez.

I liked this. The big and tall dynamic worked well here, and it blended into the physicality, and the overall feel of how the Match played out. Stephanie got the win, their fore bringing our weekly Judgement Day Womens Match to an end, that was until Nikki Bella Turned heel by chinning Stephanie. She's wearing black, that means that she's now Linday Lohan, a mean girl.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sheamus Last Time Is Now Tounament.

This was another good development, as this tournament continued. Sheamus got the win, in what was an adequote TV Match.

Charlotte Flair And Alexa Bliss vs The Kabuki Warriors WWE Womens Tag Team Championship.

I didn't like this. I feel like I've seen this Match at least 5 times by now, and it's getting tiresome. The Kabuki Warriors are our new Tag Team Champions. The counteractions that were on display fell flat, and the involvement of Iyo Sky. Nia Jax, and. Lash Legend, and return of Rhea Ripley, just felt forced and predictable. This is the direction for the Womens Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargames Match, and i'm not very excited to see it.

Over of this weeks Monday Night Raw.

This was the best that Raw has looked for some time, and given the fact that WWE's creative bar has been at a low all through this year, then the ceiling wasn't really that high.

This weeks Monday Night Raw is a solid 8/10.

 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.

 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...
