 My Top 5 Thoughts From AEW Winter Is Coming.

Apologies.

I've got to apologise for the lateness of this list. I've changed the name of my blog to squaredcirclemma.blogspot.com, and as a result this has led to me reconsider using Blogger. I've decided that next year I will be going it alone, i'm still going to be making content, but i'm going to be moving away from blogger. This has caused to me to take a look at where I want to take what i'm building. More info will come out in the new year. This is due to the fact i'm not making any money. But hey like John Cena always says. Never Give Up. So I won't. Because the Internet needs my annoying opinions, and top 5 lists.

5. Babes Of Wrath Are The 1st Ever AEW Womens Tag Team Champions.

As the end of the AEW Womens Tag Team Tournament came to and end, I was left thinking to myself. What was the point of this, and then it hit me, this in my opinion, was a way to write a wrong, when it comes to how Tony Khan books the womens division. The Match itself was a fun run through that kept me hooked from the start. Harley Cameron has a belt in AEW, this is awesome.

4.  The Continental Classic Just Gets Better.

Jack Perry, and. Kazuchika Okada had a fine showing on Wednesday Night. This was also used to further the never ending rivalry between The Young Bucks, and TDCWO. The Match I thought was excellent, however i'm starting to lose my patience with this storyline.

3. I Love Mark Briscoe.

I think the title speaks for itself. I love me some Mark Briscoe, and his promo here was great. The Word of the day is love.

2. Katsuyouri Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs vs Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland Tonado Tag Match.

This was a fresh way to continue this rivalry into it's next level. The Match managed to cater to the sadistic side of all fans brains. I loved the fact that all teams had a fight in the fans, as the split screen shots kept me in the loop. This was fun, and I had a great watching it when I got home from my day job.

1. Eddie Kingston Can't Win The Big One.

I felt angry for Eddie. This Match was a real let down, and I think at points you could see it written all over their faces. Samoa Joe retained his championship in what was a flat TV Match.

 My Top 5 Thoughts On Friday Night Smackdown.

5. Cody Rhodes Opening Segment.

Our World Heavyweight champion was in one hell of a fiery moode last night, he walked out to the ring, after running into Nick Aldis, who told him that Drew Mcintyre is taking the WWE to court for not providing a safe work enviroment. This is rich coming from him. Cody walked to the ring and cut a promo on Drew, but he was met by Oba Femi, his opponent for SNME. I liked all of this. In his last vingnette heading into the last time is now tournament. John said that the next SNME will focus on the future of the WWE, this Match up makes perfect sense, and their minor dual was a clear indication for where WWE is heading in the future.

4. Ilja Dragonov Retained His United States Championship.

Am I the only person who thinks that Ilja Dragonov is becoming the best thing about Friday Night Smackdown. His Matches always tend to deliver, and you can always see the effort in his eyes, and every opponent that he faces, seem to Match up effortlessly with him, and. Tomassp Ciampa was no differant. I had a blast watching this.

3. The Wyatt Sic Respond To The MFT's.

I can understand why this might not have been for all fans, but when you dig beneath the surface, this was a great way to pay pribute to Bray. I know that his is leading to a four way Tag Match at a later date, but if i'm being honest when Solo told Uncle Howdy To Run, all this did was remind me to hug my loved ones.

2. Celebs Praise John Cena.

Celebrities like Peyton Manning. Eli Manning. Tom Brady. Jimmy Fallon, and JellyRoll all gave John Cena his flowers, and it was a great sight to see. I will give my thoughts on John tomorrow when my SNME Review will goes live in the evening.

1. The Terror Twins Are Back In Business.

I've seen some reactions online to fans liking this, and even though everyone is welcome to their own opinions. I didn't like this. I thought that the in-ring work felt a bit flat, and overall over booked. Rhea Ripley, and. Damien Priest, beat Alestair Black, and. Zelina Vega, and if this was a school report it would read must do better.

My Top 5 Times Pro Wrestling Made Me Feel True Emotions.

Intro.

When I was younger. I thought that only films could make feel emotions, but as I grew older this became a thing. Pro Wrestling has an ability to hook fans with there emotions, and i'm no differant. From the moment I became a fan at the age of 7, little did I know that this would become a lifelong obsession, and love. So these are the moments that made stunned into nearly, and crying.

5. Sami Zayn Turns On Roman Reigns Royal Rumble2023.

I stayed up late on a cold January night just so I could see this all unfold, and it didn't let me down. Roman reigns vs Kevin Owens was a well booked affair, that promise as the anquish on Samy's face was riddled all over him, from the aftermath of the trial of Samy Zayn. The moment that came to shock the world when Sami turned on Roman was a well timed moment in time. This was the number 1 trend on twitter at the time.

4. The Undertaker Says Goodbye ( or so I thought ) Mania 33.

The Undertakers Match against Roman Reigns was a letdown at WrestleMania 33. It was a main event that had issues delivering the goods, and it clearly showed. Takers physical appearance looked like a shadow of its former self, and when you marry that together with the health problems that Mark Callaway has faced over the years, this made for a bad cocktail. When the Match was over Mark laid his gloves down, and at that moment he broke Keyfabe, and showed that there was more to the character than what had been shown on TV.

3. Edge's retirement.

This one was a bitter pill to swallow. The Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania 27 was full of suprise tinged with sadness. Edge came out, and spoke candidly to the fans. He talked about the issues that he has gone through due to his neck, and how in recent times they had creeped back up in the build up to that years Mania. He had been advised by Drs to step away from the ring. His diagnosis was spinal stanosis, the same injury that ended the career of Stone Cold Steve Austin just eight years prior.

2. Cm Punks Return To Pro Wrestling.

From clever marketing that ignited excitement in fans, with AEW telling fans something without actually telling fans anything. So on the second ever edition of AEW Rampage Punk would come back to the sport that he had walked away from. This was a poignant moment that made grown men like me cry. It's a image that I still can't believe actually happened, but it did, and it was great.

1. 10 Bell Salutes To Those That Deserve It.

The 10 bell salute is seen as a way to say goodbye to those that have entertained us over the years, from remembering Bray, saying goodbye to Eddie Guererro, to AEW paying tribute to Brodie Lee in one of the most difficult episodes of any Pro Wrestling shows, to ever be commited to by a company. These are the moments when you should hold your friends, and loved ones close, because life is too short.

 Top 5 Times WWE Pissed Off TV Censors.

Intro.

WWE and TV Censors have had a varied mix of history. Some countries don't tend to look at Major issues, but when it comes to how things could get copied, or incidents that go against taste and decentcy, this is called censorship at it's most honest, and baffling in many cases. You could say that the WWE has always braun the line between these two metrics.

5. Mohammed Hassan.

From his debut in late 2004 this rifled up fans in my home country the UK. Whole segments would get cut from Smackdown broadcasts by Sky Sports. This is due to the fact that Ofcom, a company that govern all TV Channels over here have rules against any form of hate speech, and this is what makes these segments worrying if you were a fan at this time. And then you add in what happened on july 7th 2005, and after this the character was gone.

4. DX Segments Various.

Were do I begin with the attitude era. DX were leading the charge for anarchy, and outright over sexualised chaos. Fans loved DX, the WWE Office loved DX, TV networks, well not so much. The USA Network, and. Sky Sports weren't happy. This is mainly because the WWE were doing there own version of humour that was catered around race, and language. Here in the UK that is a big no no.

3. Channel 4 Didn't Have A Clue What They Were Buying.

In late 1999 a deal was struck between WWE and the UK Broadcaster channel 4 to take four of the PPV's, and Sunday Night Heat. This deal would last for two years, the only thing is the deal was for four years, this was cut short due to Royal Rumble 2000, and a pentioner stripping off. I wish that I made this up, but I didn't. The standards were then changed after this. PPV's were shown on a delay which give them the chance to make cuts when need be. I thought this was a bit hypocritical of Channel 4, given the fact that 6 years before this they showed the first gay kiss before the watershed on Brookside, and also commissioned Brass Eye, so this was pointless.

2. Wee Wee To the Face.

Pandemic Wrestling was certainly a place in time that I don't want to revisit. So this segment from June 2020 managed to annoy Fox, who at the time had the rights to show Smackdown in the USA. The segment that featured Sheamus who tried to make Jeff Hardy drink a beer, given his issues with alcohol, wasn't a good move by the company. Sheamus took the supposed beer to the face, I say the word supposed because it was actually hardy's piss. This angered Fox because they felt that this went way too far.

1. He Who Shall Not Be Named Makes Trish Stratus Bark Like A Dog.

I'm just going to say it. I despise anyone who acts on issues like coersive control. This segment was so bad that it was cut out completely from broadcast in the build up to Mania 17 by Sky Sports here in the UK. This is arguably the worst segment that WWE have ever produced, and just think of the milage that you can cover.

Top 5 UFC PPV's That I Go Back To Nowadays.

Intro.

Writing this list stumped me, because As I sit here on a Monday morning, I had to dig beneath the surface of my brain, and think what are my favourite ever UFC PPV's. These events are the ones that I still watch to this day on DVD. From great fights to stand out moments, these PPV's live rent free in my brain.

5. UFC 79 Nemesis.

This card is awesome. From the burning heat that was Rich Clementi vs Mevin. Rameau Sokoudjou, and Lyoto Machida reminding fans that Pride was still alive in it's own spirit. This show was also the coming out party for GSP after he beat Matt Hughes for the UFC Interim Welterweight Championship, and then there's Chuck Liddell vs Vanderlai Silva, a fight that stands up today as one of the best MMA 3 round fights ever in my opinion. This was a steller card, that came complete with loads of promise, and it delivered.

4. UFC 132.

From Tito Ortiz shocking the world, and submitting Ryan Baber. Chris Leben knocking out Wanderlai Silva, and then there's the 5 round war that Urijah Faber and Dominck Cruz had for the UFC Bantamweight Championship. This fight was an excellent go around, that showcased the bitter distain that these two had for one another. The build was promoted perfectly, as it brought the novice fan into their history from Their days in the WEC. This is one hell of a PPV.

3. UFC 91.

Any PPV that features Kenny Florian, and Joe Daddy Stevenson, and. Gabriel Gonzaga vs Josh Hendricks go to war in seperate fights is always a good time to me. Even though watching Brock Lesnar in our year of 2025 isn't a good sight, in 2008 we were living in the Brock era, and this proved to be a very profitable time for the UFC. 

2. UFC 150.

From Justin Lawrence facing an up and coming fighter named Max Holloway. Donald Cowboy Cerone facing one of his former team mates Melvin Guillard, in what was a steller performance from the Cowboy, and the second fight of the year for Frankie Edgar, and. Benson Smooth Henderson for the UFC Lightweight Championship Crown out did their UFC 142 war. Frankie in his post fight interview with Joe Rogan just said everything that you need to know about the man. He's a true warrior, and the fact that he left his heart in the cage is something that speaks to me in my day to day life. You've got to keep going, no matter what punches get thrown at you.

1. UFC 92 The Ultimate.

As the way that UFC New Year shows go, this is up there for my money, as one of the best that they've ever committed to producing. Quinton Rampage Jackson giving Wanderlai Silva a Nasty KO. Frank Mir's comeback tour continuing after he beat Minatauro Nogueira, and then there's Sugar Rashad Evans beating Forrest Griffin to become the new UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. This was an elevated card, that delivered from a fight, and fan perspective.

The Undertakers Last Ride Docu Series Top 5 Deep Dive.

Intro.

If you take your minds back to 2020, the world was in a differing state, the pandemic had taken a grip on the world, and how many compan'ys conducted there business. The WWE however ploughed through with all of there plans, including releasing content for there now defunct WWE Network. This release was centred around The Deadman, and the final years of his in ring career. I didn't write anything about this at the time, because I didn't have the confidence to have my own platform, but given the fact this years Survivor Series wrapped up last weekend, I thought this would be a good idea to go back and take a look at this series. 35 Years of The Undertaker. Were has the time gone.

 Episode 1. Greatest Fear.

This was a bold way to start of the series. The episode was focused around the importance of family relationships, that are tinged with blind loyalty. Mark opened up about the protection of his character, whilst handling the riggers of the road. His Mania streak does get covered, and how it ended at the dismay of the fans. His concussion gets talked about to a degree, as he  brings not remembering anything from that day. This was then rubbished by He Who Shall Not Be Named during his Netflix Docu Series. This says to me that mental blocks are real, and should be treated seriously. The issue of mental blocks can also be used to describe how he felt after his Match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 33. The moment when Taker took off his gear in the ring would symbalise the end of his career, or so we thought. I thought this was a fed pilled example of blind loyalty, being put together with how the riggers of the road can leave a talent feeling that maybe there time has come.

Episode 2. Redemption.

The real life Ramifications of Mania 33, and how Taker was going to bounce back, became the backbone of this episode. It's clear that Taker has issues with self doubt, and it was evidently clear watching. His wife Michelle Mccool appears across the series as a talking head, and doesn't really offer up much in terms of analysis, but she does give is the opinion from the side of a loved one. Taker felt guilt after his Match with Roman, because he didn't think that he gave his all, this lead to him apologising to him backstage at Mania 34, after he beat John Cena. His Build to facing Cena at Mania 34 would get overlooked on TV due to the Tag Build for Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey vs HHH and Stephanie Mcmahon, but when you take a look at how he prepared for a 5 minute Match,  I could tell that this wasn't the end. Episode 2 is stark reminder how hard work can bring you back to the forefront, but leave you feeling with the question. How Much do I have to give.

Episode 3. Feeling Empty.

This episode was centred around the relationship between Taker and HHH, and. HBK. Their Mania Matches still stand up today, and prove the point that bonds aren't built, they're created by pure magic and grit. This was WWE at it's finest for this period, and I loved it. Fast Forward to 2018, and Taker is headlining Madison Square Garden as part of WWE's Summer U.S Tour, hearing him reflect on this times in this building was a fascinating insight into how he loves the industry. He was backstage talking, and giving advice to the younger talent. HHH and Takers Match from Super Showdown 2018 from Sydney Australia gets covered in a highlight package, and this was for the best, because this match was terrible. What came after this was WWE's second trip to Saudi Arabia, and DX vs The Brothers Of Destruction. To say that this Match was a car crash, was all the participants being nice, because was horrorific. This would have an effect on Taker. Love for an industry that you work in can be seen as devotion, but in trurh it's not always your friend, and it can hurt you.

4. The Battle Within.

Hearing from those who aren't with us Today. Bray Wyatt, and. William Moody, who played the role of Paul Bearer up until 2004, added an sense of emotional depth, that the previous eps were missing. Seeing the old footage from the WWE archives, felt like I stepped back in time in the best way, as Bruce Pritchard talked about the person Mark Callaway. Fear of missing out is all real, and can't ignored. Taker was backstage at Mania 35, and you could see it written all over his face, he wanted to be out there, but he wasn't needed. This was a sensible move from WWE to keep him close, as the fear of an upstart company was looming. His Match Against Goldberg from Super Showdown 2019 in Saudi Arabia was covered in all of it's terrfying form. The moment Goldberg gives Taker that Jack Knife Powerbomb still to this day is something that WWE are trying to forget about. He left the ring on his own accord, but when you look at the facts, he was only two inches away from something awful happening. No Pro Wrestling show,  or moment should come above someones own health. This led to the formation of The Graveyard Dogs. Taker teamed up with Roman Reigns to face Shane Mcmahon, and Drew Mcintyre, at 2019 Extreme Rules PPV. The Match ended up being one of my favourite Matches from that year, and a reminder that he still has it. It was known that after this Match, he told He Who Shall Not Be Named, that he was done, and he was told that the company would follow his lead. This episode is a reminder that, if you're done then you've got the right to go out the way that you see fit.

5.  Episode Revelation.

In November 2019 Taker appeared on Steve Austins Broken Skulls Sessions. And he hinted that he might not be done. AJ Styles watched this, and that's what gave birth to the idea of the Boneyard Match. But what was around the corner caused this stipulation, and how WWE would run its business for the next 16 months. The Covid 19 Pandemic was a tough time globally, and this made WWE change its plans going forward, gone were the international tours that had been booked, and Mania at Raymond James Stadium in Florida was put back a year. Mania 36 came from the behind closed doors at there own Performance Centre in Orlando. This meant for certain Matches they had to think outside the box. Before WWE filmed the Boneyard Match. Taker would have to deal with the loss of his brother, and Michelle Mccool lost her nephew. The Match with AJ was filmed on Location, and would take a night to film. It turned out to be an entertaining romp that stole the weekend for me. As Troubador by George Strait played out in the closing moments with images of the past, Taker could be heard saying that he contempt with being done, and this was the right way to conclude this show. Taker got to ride off the way that he wanted, and that's the most important thing. And to think this started off with a phonecall in 1990, that started with the words. Is this my Undertaker.

 AEW Dynamite Review 4.12.2025

Samoa Joe And Eddie Kingston Segment.

I loved this segment. So all I will say is this. This was no notes perfect to me. Next week at Winter Is Coming is going to be awesome.

Pac vs Kazuchika Okada Continental Classic.

This was a lofi quality Match, that delivered on all counts. Both men showed that they've got excellent chemistry, and this gave birth for the story to be told. I thought this was glorious, and a good way to kick start the show. Okada got the win by roll up.

Mark Briscoe Segment.

I love Mark Briscoe. He will face Daniel Garcia when AEW Visits Cardiff in just over to quote 9 days.

Ricochet Segment.

Ricochet Has been one of AEW's unsung heros this year, from wanting to murder people with scissors, to being a menace to The Hurt Syndicate. I love this guy.

Kyle Fletcher vs Kevin Knight Continental Classic.

So far the Continental Classic has over delivered. This Match is the perfect example of this. Both men kicked out of Liger Bombs, coast to coasts, and. Brainbusters, as they laid everything out bare, just so they could create magic. Kyle got the win, and in the aftermath Kyle, and. Don Callis cut promos, but due to the ad break, we didn't get to hear what Kyle said, because this was centred around Don and what he thought of The Young Bucks. Complete with references to puberty. The Bucks came out and attacked the family. Kazuchika Okada gave Matt Jackson a rainmaker, and this was when Jurassic Express made the save. Don grabbed hold of Matt Jackson and tried to gauge his eyes out, that was until Kenny Omega helped out his Elite family. Be still my wayward heart.

Mercedes Mone Segment.

Mercedes will get another belt at ROH Final Battle this Friday. I don't think that many fans care if i'm honest.

Hardcore Holiday Deathmatch AEW Womens Tag Team Tournament Semi-finals. Megan Bayne And Marina Shafir vs The Timeless Lovebombs.

I loved this. If you want to have fun at 10am in the morning, then just stick this Match on. From humerous weapon spots that had me howling. Toni and Mina having awesome dance moves on entrance, to the return of Santa Lufer claus. This was great, and a lot of fun. Timeless Lovebombs got the win, and will now face The Babes Of Wrath to become the first ever AEW Womens Tag Team Champions next week.

Dark Order vs The Opps AEW Trios Championship.

I didn't like this It felt flat, and extremely boring. But it's great to see Jon Silver back on Dynamite. You love to see it. The Opps retained. Hangman Adam Page then called Hook and Shibata for a Match next week, and he will have a mystery partner.

Okada vs Takeshita.

This Match has legs, and I think we could get the second one at All In next year. I need this Match in my life.

Claudio Castagnoli vs Jon Moxley Continental Classic.

For my money this is the best that the Continental Classic Match so far in the tournament. It was a bloodsoaked masterstroke in storytelling. I've said this before that the downfall of Jon Moxley from the deathriders is the best thing that AEW has going for it at the moment, and this Match furthered my point. Claudio got the win, as this Match was heading to be a time limit draw. This was excellent.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This is one of the best episodes of Dynamite this year in my opinion, as the continental Classic continues to grow. This weeks AEW Dynamite is a must watch.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 9/10.

My Top 5 WWE Survivor Series Moments.

Intro.

What are the best moments in WWE Survivor Series history, this was a question that ran through my mind. I have my favourites, and I have those that make me think, well that was a thing wasn't it. This is a fun list that delves into the world of Survivor Series.

5. The Montreal Screwjob.

Ok I have to get this one out of the way first, because multiple writers over the years have dined out on this for nearly 30 years. It was a seismic moment in Pro Wrestling history, and a matter that is very well documented. Bret and Shawns relationship these days seems to be better, but back in 1997, it was a different world.

4. Kurt Angle Fools The Undertaker.

The WWF Championship Match at the year 2000 event was funny. Have you ever seen 2 Kurt Angles, well if you stayed up in here in the UK, your eyes weren't weary at 2am, because you most definately saw 2 lookalikes of Kurt Angle. The Match wasn't up to much, but this did make me laugh.

3. Stone Cold Steve Austin Gets Run Over.

Survivor Series 1999 was the end of a good run for Stone Cold Steve Austin, he had completely burnt himself out, and needed time off to go and get neck surgery. The angle in which he was ran over, would then get used as the golden example in how to do a Pro Wrestling who done it. I remember watching this at the time, and going into school the day after, and this was all anyone could talk about.

2. Ric Flair vs HHH Have A Bloodbath.

This would signal the end of two eras in my opinion. The first one was HHH's reign of terror, and the second one was the Evolution era, both weren't very profitable for the company when you look at the TV ratings during this time period. The Match was an all out war, that came with heavy blade jobs, after what we got at Taboo Tuesday, which took place just three weeks before this show.

1. The Return Of Cm Punk.

After the events of real glass gate from AEW's UK debut at Wembley Stadium. Cm Punk was let go by Tony Khan, after he had an altercation with Jack Perry. This would start the speculation of could Punk return to the company that he walked out on in 2014. So at the end of the mens Wargames Match in 2023, he returned. He walked out to a sold out All State arena in Chicago, to the uproar of an excited crowd, who were eager to see there hero all night. This was the architectual blue print for how to build excitement.

My Top 5 Thoughts From Monday Night Raw.

5. Wade And Joe In With The Fans.

This was irresponsible. WWE has come under fire in recent months for fan interactions, and how fans handle themselves. I thought this was a bit in bad taste. I know I can't talk for everyone, and this is just my opinion, but really.

4. Jey Uso vs LA Knight John Cena Last Time Semi-Final.

I liked this. The Match storyline was mainly centred around how these two have interracted over the past few months. The physicality was great, and this allowed for their chemistry to shine. Knight got the win, and then jey lost his temper, and all I had to say about this was. 4 letters one word. Baby.

3. The Judgement Day Are Reunited And It Feels So Good.

I loved this. I think this was a good night for the Judgement Day. Dom turned up in his real dads old renta car, and then later in the evening he welcomed back his kayfabe lover Liv Morgan. He insulted John Cena, whilst reminding me that he's the greatest Luchador of all time. I loved this. Just look at it this way. When Dom debuted in the Judgement Day I couldn't stand him, but now he's one of my favourite things on WWE TV, so that says one thing. Anything can happen in the space of three years.

2. Natalya Is An Army Colonel.

Natalya acted like the Colonel from Stanley Kubricks Full Metal Jacket. Maxxine Dupri is going to snap at some point.

1 Gunther vs Solo Sikoa John Cena Last Time Is Now Tournament.

I think that Gunther has to be in with a shout, when all the best lists come out for the end of this year. His Matches have always gone from good to excellent. For a TV Match, this was something special, and it over delivered. Gunther will meet LA Knight on Friday Smackdown in the final.

Top 5 WWE Survivor Series Debuts.

Intro.

In the years since Survivor Series debuted it has became known for its multi-man Matches, and it's debuts. The second one is what were going to looking at today, given the fact that at the time of writing Survivor Series Wargames has just wrapped. I  thought taking a trip down memoery lane is in order.

5. Blue Chipper Survivor Series.

Appearing on team Babyface as I call them led by Marc Mero.  The team also featured Jake The Snake Roberts, and The Stalker. ( 1996 Fed was a real thing ) Blue Chipper as Jim Ross called on Commentary was better known as Rocky Maivia, who's better known as The Rock, during his debut, you could tell that he was green as hell, and that's not a bad thing because the established stars protected him, and he could learn from their roles.

4. The Undertaker Survivor Series.

If you could take a trip back to 1990, and remember anything from this event, then it's the debut of The Deadman, being part of Ted Biase's millionaire team. He would go on to have a steller career from a fan aspect, and from the view of longevity, has actually stood up well.

3. Kurt Angle Survivor Series 1999.

I call this his actual debut, because when you take in just what was going to come throughout the following year.Kurts debut against Shawn Stasiak, might've been a dud from the look of Match quality, when you look at how long term plans were going to play out, then this worked.

2. Scott Steiner Survivor Series 2002.

Take your mind back to November 2002. WCW had been out of business for nearly 20 months, and some of the external contracts from Time Warner had, or were coming to an end, and the contracts that the WWE wanted to bring over, had been moved to the company. Scott was one of the last names to be brought over. His time in the company would be met with contention, and an overall bad feeling, mainly because quite a few of this Matches stalled in quality.

1. Sting SAurvivor Series 2014

It's Stiiiiiiiiiiiiing. But without his soul. Look I love the man known as sting, however his debut at the 2014 Survivor Series, did signal the end of the WCW brand 13 years after it's official end. The Wrestlemania 31 Match against HHH was a waste of time, and a classic example of a pissing contest.

 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...
