Top 5 Times Pro Wrestling And MMA Have Helped Me In My Real Life.

Written By Patrick O'malley

Intro.

It's been said overtime that Music can help fans of bands and artists through some bad times in life, whilst other mediums like Film/TV can also be looked at in the same space. I've been through some bad things in my life, from trials and from tribulations to outright heartbreak, and the big question how did I get through these moments? Well it was my love for both industries that I want to work in. It's important in life to never loose sight of your goals, and when things get tough, you've got to find it in yourself. This is what has carried me through some of the worst times of my life.

5. Feeling Left Out.

Even in adulthood you can still feel like you're the odd one out, and it's not always your fault. I remember when I was about 20, all my friends went to the reading festival, and I couldn't go, this was due to the fact that I couldn't afford a ticket, but when they came back it was like I didn't even exist, and just like that I felt a distance between them and me, and when I sat back, and took this all in. I realised one thing, because most of them had gone to university, they had moved on from me. It was around this time that I saw Summerslam 2007, and I started to think, you know what life isn't that bad, even though the WWE was going  through an incredibly bad space of it's own at this time, due to wellness policy violations, and real life themes that I can't go into due to the facts being against a Kid. I know what your all thinking, do I still speak to these people, well, no. I don't hate them, because we just grew apart, this is just a sad part of life. It happens.

4. Being Broke.

I get that some people have things way worse than me, but at one point in time when I was sixteen I had just been let go from my first Job. This was the first time that I had visibly lost confidence in myself, this was evident when family and friends noticed this. I found myself in a state of being bitter, that made me not a very nice to be around. For about two months I found things in quite the state. This came at the time  of WrestleMania 20, and I was going round my friends house to watch it the night after it happened, and this is when my friend, who I still talk to today, gave me some cold hard truths. WAKE UP AND START MOVING, and he was right. What happened might have shaken my confidence, but it didn't defeat me. And this is the important thing. I was let go, and looked down due to the fact that I had learning issues, and from that moment on. I knew that I shouldn't just take things in life, when you have to get up and fight, then stand up and be counted.

3. Heartbreak.

In some moments in anyone's life, you can look at a TV show like Dawsons Creek, or. My So Called Life, and think this is relatable. I've been through this myself. My first major heartbreak was when I was 18 years old, and I made the mistake of falling for my best female friend. Months went by, and I didn't Say anything, and just before she was due to go to leave town. I decided to say something, but the day before I was due to do this. I was going to let my feelings go, and then when I stepped into Tesco on a Thursday Afternoon to get my mum some milk. I saw her with her Boyfriend, and she was happy, and I knew that it would be wrong of me to ruin what she had. Sometimes you've got to put others first. A few weeks later I went to visit a friend, who I still talk to today, and we ended up watching WWE Taboo Tuesday from that year, and we got talking about this, and he gave some great advice. Patrick you've got to embrace the friend, so I did.

2.  Injuries. 

I used to do Karate in my younger years. This ment that I've sustained some bad knocks, that the normal body shouldn't take. I was about 15 years old, and I was at home recovering from a minor knee injury, and this when I discovered MMA. One afternoon I went to my friends house, and he had gotten hold some of the early UFC PPV's on DVD. They were regional 1, so you needed a special player in order to play them, and just like that, going round my mates house became a great form of rehab. We just sat there sat there watching Shows like UFC 18, and the submissions compilation that was out at the time. No one likes being on the sidelines, but if you've got friends like this, then you're pretty much set for life.

1. My Learning Issues.

I've made it clear over some of my posts, that I've had issues with my learning since I was a kid, and i've been lucky enough to have be supported by some incredible people, who I still talk to today, however others haven't been so supportive from old friends, to people that I have worked with in my day Job. When you meet people, you should always look at people in there eyes, because that way you can tell a thousand stories be told, so when they act like assholes, you can see if anything is going in other areas of there life. This is just my thought. Pro Wrestling has helped me immensely in my life. I learnt how to accept others, and from this my friends accepted me. This is a life lesson that you're getting for free, and on the house. Which Pro Wrestlers, and MMA fighters have I learnt the most from, well that's easy. Jeff Hardy comes to mind, alongside John Cena. Chuck Liddell, and. Randy Couture, these individuals all have had there own struggles in life, whilst coming through the otherside. John has faced significant backlash over being over used by the WWE. Chuck has overcome bad accusations that I can't condone, but has always had a never say die attitude when it came to his fighting. Randy Couture took the UFC to court over unfair pay, whilst Jeff has battled his well publicized demons. I have looked at Jeff a lot in the past when I've made mistakes in my life, and when he's fallen. I always find it inspiring when he works things out for himself, you can overcome anything if you put your mind to it.

Overview Of This Piece.

Writing this piece felt like I was going to a therapy session. I laid a lot as bare as I can. This wasn't easy, and I had to take breaks during the writing period, but once it was done. I felt a bit numb, because what I wanted to say was through with, and this left me feeling quite relieved. I just hope that this piece helps anyone out there who's in a bad situation.

 AEW Dynamite Review. 26.3.2026.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland No1 Contendership vs EVP Status.

I'm suprised that this went on first. The Match was a PPV level affair being played out on national TV. Both mens selling was the main backbone of how this Match played out, as the physicality became the story of what was to come. The near falls added drama to what was an already excellent Match. Kenny got the win, and these are my thoughts. This is one of the best bookings decisions that Tony Khan has made in a long time. This when you look at another Match, and segment on this show,  you can see a clear route to Wembley when you look at the bigger picture. I loved this.

Will Osperay Segment.

Will Osperay was in the mood to do some f****** swearing next, as he called out Pac, and challenged Jon Moxley to a Match at Dynasty. This was sensational stuff. Will vs Pac next week, yes please. There Match at All Out 2024 was a banger, so I can't wait to see this one. I think a certain someone who works for Whatculture is feeling a bit scared. I hear that Will hates honourary Geordies aswell.

Deathriders vs Top Flight And Zeda Steel.

When I started watching this Match at 9am in the morning. I forgot just how good Top Flight are as a team. Top Flight have been working a lot on ROH, so if you've missed them on TV, then this was for you. I liked the Matches within the Match, as chaos on the outside from the likes of Christopher Daniels, and. Wheeler Yuta gave life to the fire, as The Deathriders got the win when Mox gave Darius Martin a stomp for the win. Jon then accepted Will Challenge For Dynasty. I fully expect the Continental Championship to be put on the line during this Match, this is my clear path to All In for Will.

The Bucks Are Back.

This route of booking for The Young Bucks is the way that AEW should take them, because on there way back to the belts they should put on banger Match, after banger Match.

Speedball Mike Bailey vs Rocky Romero.

This would've been better placed on Collision. The Match was decent, and Bailey got the win. Kenny Omega vs Speedball Mike Bailey at a later date, oh go on then AEW if you must.

MJF Segment.

This arguably the moment of the night, and the best thing on the show. MJF came out, and was in full promo force upon his return, after taking a trip to Disneyland. He came out and didn't hold back as he laid into insulting Hangman Adam Page. He went through his arsenal of promos, and was then met by Kenny Omega. The thing with Kenny Omega is that he's not known for fire promos, because he delivers his words with pure simplicity, but this was awesome, you could get another sense of the grasp of were AEW is going with it's Main Event scene, and it's really exciting. The minor dual that both men had last night was great and is a fantastic way to set up for next week. MJF vs Kenny Omega at Dynasty. I have no words. This segment was awesome.

Cope And Cage Segment.

In a segment that was recorded earlier in the day by Renee Paquette. Copeland promised revenge on FTR whilst Cage just acted like my asshole, and I loved him for it.  This led to FTR coming out, and doing what both Dax And Cash do bes. Deliver a promo with pure hatred, and self indulgence, also Tony Schiavone, I agree with. It's a miracle that the Glourious man known as Big Stoke can walk again. Ladies of the night look out.

Orange Cassidy And Roderick Strong vs Clark Connors And David Finlay.

This Match did nothing for me, and was the lowest point of the broadcast. I just couldn't connect with this. Clark, and. Finlay got the win. That's it.

Divine Dominion Vingnette.

Ok ladies I get that your the new Tag Champs, but no one likes a pair of gloaters. I'm not connecting with these two. And i'm not sure why.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

Kyle embraced Konosuke Takestita, and just like that the band was back together. I think that Okada might have something to say about this. I sense an implosion is coming.

Thekla vs Mina Shirakowa AEW Womens Championship.

With the slot that both ladies were given, you could get the sense that both ladies tried their best to get there stuff in, and this Match was pure evidence of my point. The physicality was good, and their chemistry followed this pattern. Thekla retained. A lot has been said about Toni Storms absence, and the only thing that I have to say is this. I hope that she's ok, and doing, well, because that should at the front of fans minds.

The Demand segment.

Ok this was a thing. I don't think this was a good idea. Ricochet has been involved in some pretty awful controversy, in which he insulted a fan online for having m.s. I'm not the type of person who would lobby for someone to lose there job, but this isn't a good look for him, or the company. The controversy is still being talked about, so this is a bad idea to put him on TV at this time.

Rush vs Darby Allin No Count Out Match.

I'm just going to say, if you were one of those people who raised there voice by chanting displeasure towards ice, then I applaud you. I love the fact that Pro Wrestling fans are becoming sports answer to Rage Against The Machine, because it's needed. These pages have no time for racism or any kind of bullying. The Match was great, and had some solid moments, from Rush teasing the ball to the fans, to Darby proving once again that he has no back, by taking some bad looking bumps, to him getting the win by roll up, and was then taken out by Mark Davis, and beaten down by the rest of TDCWO, to take the show of the air. The continuing teases and easter eggs for the Main Event scene is ever evolving, and it's exciting to see.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This weeks Dynamite is a reminder of just where AEW is going with it's Main Event, whilst the mid card continues to develop, as we head onto the next PPV, which is part of the long and winding road, as we head to Wembley this Summer.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 8/10.

 

Top 5 Men Pro Wrestlers Who Under The Age Of 35.

Written By Patrick O'malley

Intro. 

As I grew up watching this great industry on TV in the early nineties, and eighties it was a rarity to watch women in the ring, yes womens Pro Wrestling was a thing, with faces like Wendy Richter, and. The Fabulous Moolah ( ugh ) all becoming known faces. In these years Pro Wrestling was largely viewed as an all boys club. This meant that in my opinion the ladies were forgotten, the nineteen eighties, and. Nineties were the proving ground for this. The recent years have changed this narative only slightly, but if you were a fan in these decades, then all you had was the focus of the men. This has changed as the younger demographic of fans, and performers have come into the scene, so sit back and read my list of the Top 5 Pro Wrestlers Under The Age Of 35.

5. Jevon Evans 21.

This made me feel old. Lets just put it this way. I was 17 when this man was born. Jevon is a talent that has come up quickly. 2024 was his year as he made NXT his own, this ment that a move to the main roster was just around the corner. He moved to the main roster recently, and so far i'm thinking that his future is starting to look bright.

4. Jungleboy Jack Perry 28.

Coming from a famous background that has been tinged with sadness. Jack made his debut for AEW in 2019 just months after his dad Luke Perry passed away. His Matches on the indy scene were what set him on the map from a young age, as he helped his godfather david Arquette get into the world of indy Pro Wrestling. Jack has also won Major championships in AEW, and also causing his own boss to fear for his life.

3. Sammy Guevara 32.

These days Sammy Guevara can be found working his craft for Tony Khans ROH Brand, and if i'm being honest, this is quite sad. Sammy has been to be one of the four Pillars in AEW, alongside. MJF. JungleBoy Jack Perry, and. Darby Allin. in the early days of the promotion he was partnered next to Chris Jericho. Jake Hager, and. Santana and Ortiz, as part of Jerichos Inner Circle faction, that I liked at the time. I thought that this was a sensible move, when AEW got started Sammy was only 25, and had been working local shows around Texas for quite sometime, whilst working for AAA. Evolve, and having a run in Sinclairs ROH, before Tony Khan bought the Promotion and its video libary in early 2022. I get that Sammy might have reached his ceiling in AEW, but this doesn't change how talented he is.

2. Carmelo Hayes 31.

This guy can't miss, and when you take a look at his journey from working the Indy route, to making the refresher factory version of NXT his own, you could say that Carmelo Hayes is him. I'm writing this part of the back of seeing him face Leon Slater when WWE Friday Night Smackdown rolled through OVO Wembley Arena this past January. Carmelo is the type of performer who if you gave him slop, he could turn it into something appeteising. Melo don't miss, and you know what that statement is so true.

1. MJF 30.

Were do I begin, when talking about Maxwell Jacob Freeman. The Plainview Long Island native has become a staple of weekly TV, and someone that I always look forward to seeing. His promos against the likes of Cm Punk. Darby Allin, and. Brian Pillman Jnr went from harmful. Insult inducing, and must see, as we saw the world through his eyes. He might be better than all of us, as his Matches have been likened to eras gone by. The energy that he brings with him is something that can't be taught, and if you could bottle it up Max would ask for a stake of the profits. His Matches with the likes of Bryan Danielson. Jon Moxley. Cm Punk, and. Hangman Adam Page, will be discussed as the stuff of legend as the years go on. For my money Max is the best Champion in any promotion working today.

Overview Of This Piece.

When I sat down to write this piece on Monday evening, I had the same thought pattern as I did when I wrote my Top 5 Women Pro Wrestlers Under The Age Of 35. The men in my life, from my friends to my family have shaped how I see the world, and. Pro Wrestling and MMA have been a major part of my development. Watching men in Pro Wrestling didn't teach how to be a man, what I learnt from the sport was how to treat others, if someone does something bad, then I knew I must go the other way. This is a rule to live by when it comes to how I choose to live my life.

 

WWE Monday Night Raw Review. 24.3.2026.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Superstars Seen Showing up to work.

The Judgement Day. Bayley, and. Lyra Valkyria. The Usos. Ishowspeed, and Jevon Evans were seen showing up to work.

Brock Lesnar Segment.

Brock Lesnar came out with Paul Heyman, Paul ran through all of Brock's past opponents, whilst getting over the fact everytime the fans chant for Oba Femi, all this did was piss off the beast, and just before the pair went to leave, out came Oba Femi who once again owned Brock. The segment was great, and i'm pleased that Oba Femi is getting a big Mania push, however this comes with the asterix of Brock Lesnar in our year of 2026. This man was mentioned 40+ times in a sex trafficking lawsuit, and he seems to be loved again. I just don't get it. The segment however was good.

The Usos vs Logan Paul And Austin Theory.

I didn't like this Match. It never really clicked with me. The in ring work felt a bit slow, and the overall chemistry just felt off, but the major talking point, came as the finish happened. LA Knight came out to stop Logan from using Brass Knucks, this was when Jey got hold of them, and smacked Austin. This caused the Match to get thrown out. Jey went back in and then decked Logan. I was glad to see this end, but it would be a good episode long thread.

Becky Lynch Segment.

It's no secret that i'm a big fan of Becky Lynch's heel work, and this segment did what it was meant to do. Becky came across like a female version of Rodney Dangerfield, because she gets no respect. Becky stated that she made the Womens Intercontintal Championship important, and all she gets is boos, from the fans as they cheer for someone who left for ten years after Mania 31, as it turns out that Becky's daughter is a massive AJ Lee fan. AJ came out and gloated at this fact, just as Becky tried to scarper. AJ took to the top of the announcers desk and went to town on her. I loved there chemistry last night, and I do think that this is a turning point for this feud. Becky vs AJ at Mania for the IC Championship. It's official. I liked this.

Grayson Waller vs Jevon Evans.

This was suprisingly very good. It had excellent work from both men, and I have to say it. Kofi Kingston dressed as a Christmas pressent. I loved his attire. Jevon got the win. One other thing, during the Match I swore that I could Jevon do his best Bad Baby impression.

Paul Heyman Segment.

I liked this, from Adam Pearce telling Paul that he now has the time that he wanted. This brought him out to the ring. He stated that he was on his own, because those that he holds close are injured, and highly pissed off. So he wasted no time, and called out Seth Rollins. Seth was seen walking out from the fans, but just as he gets close to the ring, he's met by The Police, because as it turned out Paul has put a restraining order against him, and he was escorted out of the arena. The shooting of this segment was awesome, as the camera focused in on Seth as The Police took him away, all whilst Paul insulted his family, this caused Seth to snap, and break the restraining order attacking Paul. This was awesome, and if all is to be believed a way to keep him off TV until Bron Breaker returns from injury. Seth I have a great song recomendation from of my favourite bands. Walla Walla By The Offspring. I think this song will speak to your predicament.

The Kabuki Warriors vs Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

This Match felt a bit predictable to me, and as the in ring work went into the final stages, you could tell how this was going to play out. Bayley and Lyra got the win, and will face the Irresistable forces next week when Monday Night Raw comes from Madison Square Garden.

Danhausen I love You.

What do you get when you put Danhausen in a segment with Penta. Dragon Lee, and. Ishowspeed, if your answer was utter hilarity, then you would be correct. He's very nice, very evil. I love that Danhausen.

Penta vs Dominik Mysterio WWE Intercontinental Championship.

I liked this. The Match managed to gain a solid flow. Both men have decent chemistry, and it was on full display here, this was steaped in Mexican flare, as the dynamic of heel vs Babyface played out, but then came the finish. WWE went to the book of bad finishes when Finn Balor came out, and Dom got distracted. This allowed Penta to get the pin for the win. Dom escaped, whilst JD Mcdonagh took a beating from his former mentor.

Cm Punk Segment.

Watching this storyline play out over the past few weeks has been a joy, and the best thing on WWE TV at the moment. What we got here last night was another 22 minute tour de force, that covered everything with ease. Punk reminds me of a front man of your favourite band, because his gift of being able to take fans on a journey with him is nothing short of incredible. He hit every spot with ease, and with a smile on his face. He managed to anger Jey Uso, and just like that, this segment went to another level. Don't mention his family, this would be the theme of this segment, as the reverbirations from last week continued to play out. Jimmy tried to calm down proceedings, as he told Jey to leave Punk to Roman, because this isn't there fight. Roman then came out, and just like that I got transported back to 2022, this was majestic, and to the point. Roman told his cousins to leave his ring with respect. Jey attacked Punk, and then Jey was seen shouting to his cousin to take Punk out, and he did. Roman Sphered Punk, and Proceeded to batter him, this ended with Punk getting put through the announcers table. This was one hell of a segment, and a great way to take the show off the air.

Overview Of WWE Monday Night Raw.

The way that I watched this weeks Monday Night Raw, was when I got home after a long day in working my day Job, so as you can imagine I was a bit tired, but this show did bring me to life with its crisp production, and great value, that you get on the rd to WrestleMania.

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

 Top 5 Womens Wrestlers Undder The Age Of 35.

By Patrick O'malley.

Intro.

If you go back to the year 2007, and if you lived here in the UK you would've seen the barage of ads from the retailer Boots, you would've heard the well known earworm called Here Come The Girls by the girlband The Sugababes, this wasn't just a clever song. ( this is coming from a alt guy ) It was a call to arms for equality and fairness. In these times the Pro Wrestling world was famous for treating it's ladies like objects, and not athletes. Since 2013 and onwards in the world of sport the ladies have been taking the worlds biggest stages by storm, and it's no differant when you look at the world of Pro Wrestling, this is my look at the ladies who are currently owning the scene under the age of 35.

5. Dr Britt Baker 34.

At the time of writing Britt Baker hasn't been seen on AEW TV for roughly 17 months, and it's unclear as to why, as rumours have gone around stating a bad reputation when iot comes to her attitude backstage. Brit is on this list due to her Matches with the likes of Saraya. Thunder Rosa, and. Sareena Deeb. Baker is one of the AEW Originals who helped build the flagging womens division in its early days, and at the age of 34, and her future with the Jacksonville promotion in doubt, it doesn't change the fact that she's one of my favourite Female Pro Wrestlers to watch.

4. Tiffany Stratton 26.

Since her days of being Daddy's Little Rich Girl upon her NXT debut in November of 2021, you could tell that she was very green. Stratton would go on to vastly improve under the guidance of HBK, and. Matt Bloom whilst working within that system. Stratton would be moved to the main roster in 2024, and she would go on to become WWE Womens Champion, taking it from Nia Jax at the turn of last year. She would come under fire after her interactions with Charlotte Flair, but would be the one standing tall at the end of the day, this just proved the fact that if you work hard at anything in life, you can go anywhere.

3. Anna Jay 27.

At the age of 21 Anna was signed to All Elite Wrestling in April of 2020, before she signed with the Jacksonville promotion, she had gained a solid work reputation, even though she hadn't been in the industry that long, having only worked twelve Matches on the Indy scene. This put her in good stead, as she started to work on a global scale, it's been said that her success can be brought back to her training with QT Marshall, and her recent work in japan, but in my opinion, this comes under the ire of if you've got a dream, then you owe it to yourself to go for it.

2. Timeless Toni Storm 30.

This story is one that focuses on the term, if you bet on yourself then you will always win. This the Story of Toni Storm. Storm spent time working on the indy scene in australia, and Europe, before heading to the UK to be part of WWE NXT UK. Storms time in the UK developmental system would be spent working with Robbie Brookside. Meiko Satomura, and. Fit Finlay. In October of 2020 she would make the jump to Orlando and take part in NXT, a further step up to the main roster. In 2021 she would move to the main roster, and after a minor feud with Charlotte Flair, her time with the Greenwich promotion was done. In March of 2022 Storm made her debut for AEW, she would go on to win the womens championship on multiple occassions. In September of 2023 she would debut her new character, that is completely Timeless, she would go on to have one of the best womens rivlaries against Marieh May, leading to a Championship Match at Wembley Stadium, and a fantastic Hollywood ending.

1. Rhea Ripley 29.

From starting her training at the age of 16, to becoming an indy standout on the Australian indy scene. This became the back bone for Demi Barnett to become the star that she is today. In 2017 she would sign with WWE, working that years Mae Young Classic, and being added to the NXT UK Roster, becoming it's inaugiral Champion in August of 2018, and then moved to the US brand in 2019, she would get her main roster call up in early 2021, facing Asuka at WrestleMania 37, the Match would be heavily criticised by critics, but this didn't get her down as she would go to have some of the best womens Matches in WWE over the next coming years.

Overview Of This Piece.

When I sat down to write this piece on Monday Morning. I found myself thinking about the women in my life, and they've impacted me. My mum is number supporter, my sister might not get my love of Pro Wrestling, and. MMA world, but when it comes to me, she gets my love for this industry, and given the fact that 85% of my friends are female. This has taught me to reach beneath myself, and think, when you look around you acceptance is a form of love, and that is the most important thing, because when people believe in me. I feel a stronger.

Sunday Evening Friday Night Smackdown Review.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Intro.

I like doing the Friday Night Smackdown reviews on Sunday Evenings, now this isn't going to happen every week, but It's going to be happening when my Saturdays are  busy. You guys know that my goal is to give you the readers the best content out there in written form, so doing things like this is completely nescicary.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

The Irrestible Forces. The Bella Twins. MFT's. Truth and Priest. Kit Wilson, and. Hello there Jellyroll, were all seen showing to the arena. As Jellyroll was coming into the building, a load of security ran past him, because that nutty Scotsman Drew Mcintyre had ripped of the windscreen, just so he could get to Jacob Fatu. The Brawl was nothing short of laughable, this would start off an episode long storythread. Your not supposed to make it look so much like Keyfabe that it becomes laughable.

Priest And Truth vs MFT's WWE Tag Team Championship.

Is this Match going to any awards at the end of the year, well, no, but it did deliver on the fun aspect. I love R Truth, and. Damien Priests chemistry, and the fact that Truth looks like he hasn't aged a day since 2001, just reminds me that i'm 40 next year. The Wyatt Sic came out, and this caused a major distraction, that led to Roncena getting the win for the pair. We've got new WWE Tag Team Champions, and you know what good, because The Wyatts booking as champions has been tame. Cheer Up Solo, at least you still have Uncle Howdy's lantern.

Team Flexa Segment.

What do you get when you put Alexa Bliss in a Tag Team with Charlotte Flair, well if your answer was the name Team Flexa, then give yourself a pat on the back, and get yourself a well done drink. Team Flexa want a piece of The Bella's, that after when they're done with the Irrestible Forces. Just call me Teddy Long, because I sense a three way player.

Grifthausen

Danhausen tried to get Johnny Gargano out of his funk, so he asked for 20 dollars from Candace Lerae, and after receiving this nice gesture, he was gone. I think i'll call you Grifthausen.

Sami Zayn Segment.

I like the dynamic between Sami Zayn, and. Trick Williams, and I'm excited to see what WWE has in store for this feud. I like the fact that Sami is standing up for Cody. This screams heel turn.

Fraxiom vs The Motorcity Machine Gunns.

For a TV Match had a lot of great dynamics, from both teams, to the overall pacing.  Fraxiom got the win thanks to Candace Lerae causing a distraction. Ha that'll teach those Gunns to not help Johnny.

Randy Orton Segment Part 1.

After that came the segment of the night, which had me shouting out the word copycat. Randy took a chair into the middle of the ring and cut a scaving promo on how important it is for him to have another run with the belt, all whilst he speaks the words from his entrance theme. The theme of greed is low key, but vital. His words delivered with impact, however. Swerve Strickland did this earlier in the week on AEW Dynamite, and in my opinion, it was better. Randy has always been a good promo, and this segment allowed him to flex his chops. The theme of confidence also played a massive part in how his character was allowed to breathe.

Alestair Black vs Sami Zayn.

I liked this. The Match played out in the way that I thought it would. The in ring work was decent, and even though I hated the finish, when Alestair hit Sami with his Blackmas finisher thanks to Trick Williams. I did like the dynamic that Alestair has with Sami have, and I think that this needs to be explored a bit more.

Jade Cargill Segment.

I didn't like this. Jade Cargill isn't the most believible on the mic, whilst Rhea is a great promo, when you add together these dynamics it could have mixed results, and that's the best way to describe this promo. Jade didn't sound convincing at all, as Rhea took her to school, and as for Jade managing to get Michin, and. BFab to turn heel with her, was predictable.

Ilja Dragonov vs Carmelo Hayes WWE United States Championship.

Please give me more of this please WWE, because this was awesome. Both men showed what enigmatic chemistry they've got, and it shone through as this Match went into it's final stages. Carmelo retained, I could've watched another 30 minutes of this.

Kit Wilson vs Jellyroll Poetry.

I have to say it. This segment didn't land with me. Kit called Jellyroll out, and the pair engaged in a poetry battle that was riddled with unfunny insults, this didn't work for me, which is a shame because you guys know that I love me some Jellyroll. As a fan of country music his new track Thorns is awesome. Go get'em next week Jellyroll. It's no secret that i'm not a fan of Kit's new character, because it hits too close to the bone with how our world is these days.

The Irrestible Forces vs The Bellas WWE Womens Tag Team Championship Match.

I didn't like this. The Match got thrown out when Charlotte Flair who was sat ringside with Alexa Bliss, got involved. I'mbored of these type of finishes. Please stop doing this WWE I beg you. I mean I know that you won't, but you can try, for me, please.

Randy Orton Segment Part 2 

Earlier on in the show. Randy was seen decking Matt Cardona, and afterwards Jellyroll tried to help him, this is what I find fascinating about how WWE are booking Randy at the minute under HHH, because how he was booked under He Who Shall Not Be Named, only tipped the iceberg when he was a heel. HHH seems to be cooking the psycho analysis side of his character, and it's working. Randy called out Matt Cardona, and said that he was sorry, and Matt hugged him, and then he was RKO'd out of his boots, and then given the same treatment Cody got last week, which led to a security seperation. But that wasn't the end of the show, because the cameras caught up with Drew Mcintyre, and. Jacob Fatu battering each other, to the point that both men took a pathetic fall to end the show.

Overview Of Friday Night Smackdown.

This broadcast had me scratching my head, and jumping for minor joy. I like how WWE are booking Randy Orton, and Sami Zayns decent into heel territory is fascinating, whilst Kit Wilsons character isn't landing with me, and dq finishes will always be a part of our world. This weeks Friday Night Smackdown was the very embodiment of things that I like, and hate being played out in equal measure.

This weeks WWE Friday Night Smackdown is an average 7/10

UFC Fight Night London The Beakdown. 

Written By Patrick O'malley.

In Memoriam.

This piece is dedicated to one of my heros who passed away yesterday. Chuck Norris. Chuck wasn't just a star of the big and small screen, he was a skilled martial artist. To some Chuck will be remembered for his role in the TV show Walker Texas Ranger, to me he's the reason why this Sci Fi nerd, got into Martial Arts as a sport, and not just a hobby. His films like. Army Of One. Invasion USA, and. The Delta Force films are bonified classics, whilst his work with Bruce Lee in the 1972 Martial Arts Masterpiece Way Of The Dragon features some of the best fight sequences to ever be committed to celluloid. RIP Chuck, you'll never be forgotten.

Intro.

The UFC Octagon has made it's annual trip over to these shores for UFC Fight London Evloev vs Murphy, and on paper the card didn't exactly thrill me, but when I watched from the comfort of my own room at home, what were the major thoughts that ran through my head, during this piece i'm going to be taking you through a look of how I saw these fights playing out in my head. I love writing these pieces, because it gives me the chance to flex out, and show my understanding of how these fights would play out as they're going on, so sit back, grab a snack, and i'll begin.

Danny Silva vs Kurtis Campbell. Featherweight.

On paper this looked decent, but as the fight went into the trenches of round 1, the fight went from being a cagey affair, to a look at how things could playout. Kurtis relied heavily on his ground game, leaving a gaping hole in his arsenal heading into the second round. During this first round Silva managed to not utilise his striking, but this would change once round 2 started. In the opening stages of round 2, he placed a perfect one two combo that rocked Kurtis, this would lead to him getting the win via TKO. Overall this was a good fight, and a solid way to start the main card.

Roman Dolidze vs Christian Leeroy Duncan. Middleweight.

This was when the card started to exit stage left. And if you ask me it never fully recovered. This fight felt phoned in, and you could tell as the 3 slugged on. Both men failed to utilise their striking, whilst mainly staying close to the ground, this would play out for 3 rounds, leading to Duncan the brit getting the win. I thought that this fight had no life to it, and neither fighter showed me the viewer that they wanted it enough.

Austen Lane vs Iwo Baraniewski. Light Heavyweight.

Just a quick note. Iwo Baraniewski, beat. Austen Lane in under a minute by TKO, this is what you call a one and done situation. Not going to lie his performance was pretty impressive.

Michael Venom Page vs Sam Patterson. Welterweight.

At the end of the year when the fight awards get given out, this one will be on the list for one of the worst. The first was centred around both men trying to find their range, as Venom Page danced around like prime 2010 Anderson Silva, the second round saw Patterson do nothing as Page started to land some punch, and kick combos. Patterson in the third round then realised what he was doing, and started to fight back, but it was too late as Venom Page got the win by decision. I wasn't impressed with either man. I've been a fan of Venom Page for a number of years. I once spent over £1.000 on seeing him fight in London when he was in Bellator back in October of 2021. So seeing him put in a performance like this was nothing short of a disapointment.

Michael Aswell vs Luke Riley. Featherweight.

I've got to admit it, I don't know why this fight got the Co Main slot. This isn't me being disrespectful it's just the fact that both men aren't exactly fan known names like Sam Patterson or Michael Venom Page. I'm not campaigning for that fight to be in that place. I'm just confused as to why the UFC would give this slot to a couple of novices. With that miner rant out of the way. This fight never ignited any excitement in me, and by the reaction of the fans, none of the 20.000 that were attendence felt the same as me judging by how the TV sounded. Luke got the win by decision, besting Aswell in the stand up department for all three rounds. Aswell did turn up his Ground game as the final moments of the round went on, but it was too late.

Lerone Murphy vs Movsar Evloev. Featherweight.

I liked this Fight. Was this Lerone's finest hour, well, no, but he showed a true fighters grit. The first round was focused on both men finding their range. Movsar trying to find an inch to takedown Lerone, whilst Lerone kept things standing. The second round Lerone landed the better shots, as Movsar continued to look for the perfect takedown. Round three saw the Russian find what he was looking for, meaning that Lerone had to dig deep, and keep his head above water, he proved his grit after he took a kick to the family jewels. Movsar did this twice, and was deducted a point from Referee Marc Goddard. I believe it was this moment that caused Movsar to wake up, and he did. In the fourth round he dominated Lerone on the ground. The fifth round played out the same way. Lerone was defending Movsars takedowns, but on this night, he was no might for the Russian who got the win on points. Do I want to see him face Alexander Volkanovsky in the future, if i'm being honest i'm not so sure, because both mens styles are the same, which could make for a boring fight.

Overview Of UFC Fight Night London 2026.

This was a fight card that fell low of the UFC's standards in my opinion. Some fights delivered, whilst others floundered. If i'm being honest this card should be watched through the eyes of a fan who likes slugfests, and not being entertained.

UFC Fight Night London 2026 is by the UFC's Standards a solid 5/10.

 The Top 5 Ultimate Fighter Seasons With The Most Rewatchable Value.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Intro.

Even though i'm a big Sci Fi. Comic Book, and horror fan. I do love a good old slab of reality TV, from the outright fake like The Hills, and. Laguna Beach, to the outright basic like The Real World Franchise. Reality TV is one hell of a guilty pleasure that no one talks about. In 2004 the UFC wasn't in the best state when it came down to its finances, so they were going to take one last hail mary. This would go on directly after WWE's Monday Night Raw, and would even get advertising space during the show on it's then network Spike TV, this is one of the reasons as for why WWE didn't want to renew their deal with the upstart broadcaster. I love this show and several seasons from over the past 21 years have solid rewatch value, so today i'm going to take a look at those seasons that I love to go back to.

5. Season 25 Team Garbrandt vs Team Dillashaw.

With season being labelled as The Redemption, giving airtime to past fighters who fell short, and have one the contest. This season is one that you need to give a solid weekend to in order to truly see how this plays out. The theme of redemption is something that I feel needed to be celebrated, as the likes of Joe Daddy Stevenson. Ramsey Nijem, and . Jesse Taylor, were placed alongside the likes of Hyder Hassain. Justin Elliott, and Seth Bezynski, and when you add in the brewing temprature of contention between the two coaches, mixing in with TJ's winning streak, this is one of the best seasons of the show that the UFC has ever committed to filming equipment. Oh and I forget to mention that Tim Elliott returned, and wanted to start a fight with Julian Lane. Won't someone just let him bang.

4. Season 5 Team Penn vs Team Pulver.

The best seasons of The Ultimate Fighter are the ones that are focused on the coaches  complete distain for one another. BJ Penn, and. Jens Pulver were trailblazers of the then Lightweight Division back in 2001, after this year the promotion would put it on the back burner due lack of public interest. In 2006 it was confirmed that the UFC would bringing back this division, and the fifth season of The Ultimate Fighter would be centred 16 Lightweight hopefuls. This would include the likes of. Gray Maynard. Rob Emerson. Cole Miller. Manny Gambyrian. Joe Lauzon, and. Nate Diaz. These men would go on to fight in the promotion, whilst Maynard would go on to be a No1 Contender, and Nate would go on to be one of the most celebrated men to never hold a UFC belt. The season would also go on to be rememered as the season when Gabe Rudiger struggled to make weight, and three men would later on get kicked out of the house, after a real life street fight broke out between Noah Thomas, and. Waylon Simms, all whilst Allen Berube failed to step in, and stop what was going on. This is one of my favourite seasons of the shows, simply because it's heavily incident heavy, and it still holds up today.

3. Season 9 Team UK vs Team USA.

What do you get when you put the brash talk of a Mancunian Brit, and mix it in with the calm style of a chilled out American? If you're answer is Season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter, then you would correct. Team UK was coached by Michael Bisping, whilst Team USA was coached by Dan Henderson. This Season is easily one of the best, due to the fact that it highlighted how the reach of the sport was developing. Yes, you had the annoyance of some idiot lobbing eggs, and Jason Pearce realising that his life's dream, was just that, a dream, and something that would never come true, this was brought into life when Dana White removed him from the tournament, due to his lack of believibility, and the future partner of Katie Price. Alex Reed, getting a shot at Glory, but not getting past audition phase to get into the house after losing to Dean Armisinger. I do like this season, and I've found myself going back to it time, and time again.

2. Season 10. Team Rashad vs Team Rampage.

I love this season. This is one of the most onesided seasons that has ever existed. Team Rashad levied a onesided assault on Team Rampage. With this season being labelled as Heavyweights, it was seen by me as one of best from a stylistic stand point. But what we got was a season of great fights, whilst both coaches wanted to batter each other. The season finale was one of the best that the UFC has ever put on. Roy Nelson would go on to win the show, whilst the likes of James Mcsweeney. Brendan Schaub. Matt Mitrione, and. Kimbo Slice would also go on to have careers in the UFC.

1.Season 21 American Top Team vs The Blackzillians.

It's been said throughout the decades that American Top Team is one of the best team/ teaching schools for MMA, so step forward Gym owner, and all round potty mouth lover Dan Lambert, and. Glenn Robinson. These two couldn't stand each other, as their rivlary goes back quite a long way. The season was based on team rivalry, that resembled MMA's answer to a football local derby. The reason for the distain is due to the fact that when Glenn left American Top Team, he left poached fighters from his former gym. This would be the main point of contention, but when you dig beneath the surface, the interactions from both teams. They seemed like they got the rivalry whilst also being a bit relaxed with each other. This show would see the bebut of Kamaru Usman, and watching him show his pedigree was something special, as Hyder Hassans stand up, looked scary. This is a great season if you love pure hate, and utter distain.

Overview Of This Piece.

Over the past 21 years, and 33 seasons, The UFC's take on Reality TV is something that can be looked at as the gift that keeps on giving, and pleassure for both audiences of trash TV, and combat sports. This is just my take, and personal opinions, you might agree/ or disagree.

 

AEW Dynamite Review 19.3.2026.

By Patrick O'malley

Will Osperay vs Blake Christian

I've heard some complaints online about this Match, and all I have to say is this. It's perfectly ok for Will to work at a 50% rate. In September of last year Will underwent spinal fusion surgery, which is something that normally keeps athletes out for at least a year, and the fact that Will has come back in less time is nothing short of amazing. Will got the win, and then proceeded to call out Jon Moxley. Will said that he's going to snap Jon's f****** neck with his bare hands. This led to a brawl that threatened to cancel the following Match. The Bang Bang Gang looked they were lost, because Pac and Will just thought like they were Hal From Malcolm In The Middle. Wills selling of his neck was excellent.

The Bang Bang Gang vs The Deathriders.

I'm in two minds with this Match. on one hand i'm glad that it has nothing to do with the TDCWO, and on the other hand, I thought this wasn't bad, even if it was lifeless. The Deathriders got the win.

Kenny Omega Segment.

Kenny Omega then called out Swerve Strickland, and then challenged him to a match. ( more on this later) 

Darby Allin vs Gabe Kidd Coffin Match.

Oh my, this was chaotic. From the vingnette being soundtracked by one of my favourite bands ever Slaaaaaaaaaaaaaayer, Kidd wanting Darby to come out to the Parking lot, and just like that it went to 180. From an actually car crash. A man getting brought back into the arena on a random piece of sound equipment. This was a reminder that when AEW wants to, they can go all out bats*** crazy. Darby then persisted to humiliate Gabe by dressing him in a straight jacket, and slapping him like he was being tortured. Gabe would then smack Darby into the ring steps after he came two, busting him open. This would take the match into its final stages, as Darby's skateboard was used as a weapon. Darby got the win after he torpedo dived into Gabe, placing trapped in the coffin. I've got to admit it, the pre filmed stuff was heavily edited, and it worked in a psychotic weird way. I liked this. Darby then called MJF in the aftermath.

Lucha Express Are On There Travels.

( insert old school Postman Pat theme song ) Postman Perry. Postman Perry, and. Luchasaurus, he's sold his blacked out van, for something that's heavily nature friendly. I liked this montage, they even stopped for some petrol, and they didn't even buy a bag of more to share Malteasers, and a couple of bottles of Mountain Dew. The Young Bucks said that they would be getting back to winning ways tonight. 

Swerve Strickland segment.

Prince Nana brought out his boss, to answer Kenny Omega's challenge, and what came next was simply awesome. Swerve sat in the middle of the ring, with just a spotlight on him, he went straight to business, he stated that he wants Kenny's power, because this is something that has held him down during his career, from the army, to WWE. This is something that he now craves, so he said that he would put his No1 Contendership on the line, if Kenny puts his EVP position on the line. Kenny vs Swerve 2 will go down on next week Dynamite. Next Thursday Morning is going to be awesome. I loved this segment.

Mark Davis vs Speedball Mike Bailey.

I liked this. The Dynamic of big vs small was played out to full effect. This is an essential dynamic in Pro Wrestling, and done well it can be a solid watch. This Match fell into that category. I loved there chemistry, and as the Match went into it's final stages, you could tell that both men were loving having this time spot. Speedball got the win.

MJF Segment.

This was filmed after his Classic Texas Death Match this past Sunday against Hangman Adam Page, and this was no notes perfect. I hear that Disneyland is nice at this time of year. Less tourists, or so I hear.

Marina Shafir vs Mina Shirakowa No Holds Barred Match.

Mina was brought in to take the place of Toni Storm, who was seen before the Match in earlier shot footage, having been beaten up. Now I wonder who could've done that. This felt a bit flat to me. The spots just felt like something that was just there, and this dragged down the quality of the Match. Mina got the win for her fallen friend. The Toni stuff is just a Ronda tease.

By Orders of The Andrade Blinders.

Renee Paquette was interviewing Andrade Selby. I mean El Idolo, and she pulled up her phone to show Don Callis calling in via facetime to say that the TDCWO is now in business with MJF, So I expect Darby Allin to get taken out at some point.

The Elite vs Ropongi Vice And Kazuchika Okada.

I liked this. As the early stages played out, two things went through my mind, the first was the fact that it should be illegal for party Matches like this to be this awesome, and the second was. Be still my NJPW, and. 2017 loving ROH Heart. This was fantastic, all six men packed in there moves, as the Matches within the Match, paved the way for the finish. The Elite getting the win. In the aftermath Matt and Nick took to the mic, and bared their thoughts on how they were going to gain back the AEW World Tag Team Championships, they spoke about how they had lost their self belief, and the fact that family ties is what will drive them. This brought out Cope and Cage, and just like that 13 year old Patrick felt very excited. This had fans chanting holys***, and it was well deserved. I could sit here and talk about this word for word, but when you dig beneath the surface, this dual was about respect, and how they're going to strip down FTR. This brought out FTR, Big Stoke was told to shut up, and just like that It was on. FTR vs Cope And Cage 2 at Dynasty, now this sounds awesome. Never tell a glorious man to shut up.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

I liked this show. This felt like a build up to a table setting episode, and it worked to a degree. 

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high solid 7/10.

 AEW Revolution Review ( Delayed Edition ).

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Intro.

This past week has been a monumental week for AEW, from the company releasing the Wembley Stadium tickets. ( I will be there )  the company putting their best foot forward with this excellent ppv, to starting their own streaming service MYAEW. In last weeks Dynamite review I criticised the idea, because there was a lack of information regarding the rest of the roll out. However after doing my research into Triller TV's finances, and given the fact that I'm growing in the content game, making the purchase for one year made sense. I get that this makes me look like a hypocrite, but if your going to go down the content making rabbit hole, then you've got to prepare yourself to spend some money, I think that £ 90.00 for the year, and getting everything is a good deal, and the saving that I will make comes in at £ 194.00 pounds all together. The app will coming to more devices as the year continues. I urge fans to give this a look. Apologies for the delay. I'm so back.

Battle Royal.

Jack Perry won the Battle Royal for the AEW National Championship. This folded over from the Zero Hour Pre Show, and it wasn't bad. Ricochet then took to twitter in the aftermath, and he's put his foot in it. MS is no laughing matter.

FTR vs Young Bucks AEW Tag Team Championship.

This show has several Matches of the night/year contenders and this was one of them. Both teams have had excellent Matches in the past with there second Match in my opinion being the best. This Match comes a close second. The in ring work was sensational, as the blood dripped drama reached it's climax. FTR retained, and then the lights went out, and the word revenge showed on the screen, and then it happened. Adam Copeland, and. Christian Cage made their return to AEW. FTR made haist, as The Bucks staired at the pair. I liked this, and the tease is very intriguing. 

Timeless Toni Storm vs Marina Shafir.

This was the best Womens Match on the card by a mile. Marina doing a interprative dance routine with her Deathriders team on entrance was funny, to Toni eating a Foot Sandwich. You could say that I had fun watching this on Monday Morning as I planned my notes. Toni got the win, and then as she was leaving, out from nowhere came Ronda Rousey. This has split the fanbase, well that's what I thought on Monday Morning, but as the day went on, this was met with pure vitriol. My thoughts. Ronda doesn't exactly have the best relationship with Pro Wrestling fans, and has been critical of how TKO manage their business. And on that measure, she's right. She's called them out for inflating ticket prices, for both UFC, and. WWE shows, and calling out both company's for generating a boys club mentality. I get why Toni would book this, because it's not a jab at the compettion. It's a sharp right, and left to the gut, and it's worked. On May 16th Ronda will face Gina Carano in a fight that MMA fans have dreamed about for years, however it's with Netflix, and not the UFC. This is a clear way of stating that your done with TKO. This could go either way, and i'm all here for it.

Jon Moxley vs Konosuke Takeshita AEW Continental Championship.

To those who read my Dynamite reviews on the weekly basis, you will know that i'm not a fan of this Deathriders vs TDCWO storyline. I feel that it's run its course, and after Sunday Night I want it to come to and end. The pacing of this ppv was spot on, and it showed with this Match, because as Ronda was walking Marina to the back Jon made his entrance, and just like that we were in business. This was another Match of the night contender filled with fantastic energetic bursts, that brought this lofi affair into action, as the storyline word of the Match, echoed from both men. Respect. The near falls created some excellent drama, as the final exchanges looked like we were going to get a time limit draw, but that wasn't the case as Mox choked out Konosuke to retain his belt. This was excellent. The aftermath ignited my passion for Superman. A video started to play of a man entering a cryobonic chamber, being led in by a Lex Luthor lookalike. The man was Will Osperay. The Billygoat is back, and as his music boomed out of the pa system at the Crypto.com Arena in LA, you could get the sense that business was about to pick up. Osperay vs Mox at Dynasty. Now that sounds tasty.

Babes Of Wrath vs Divine Dominion.

This Match didn't land with me. This is analysis of the Match. I'm not a big fan of wrestlers working double duty. I think it's too risky, as it deminishes the chance for further Matches. This is just my opinion. The Match felt a bit flat, and it didn't seem like the fans were into it. Divine Dominion got the win, and are our new AEW Womens Tag Team Champions.

Swerve Strickland vs Brody King.

This was a staunch physical affair, that kept me hooked from the outset. I had to go back and watch this again, because as I was watching this Match, the tickets for All In London went on sale. I liked this. Both men worked on the fundamentals of creating drama, this allowed the story of the Match to bleed out. Swerve got the win, and then wanted to go to his old bag of tricks, a cynder block. Thankfully a returning Kenny Omega to put a stop to this. I liked the Match, but I don't think that Swerve needed the win. Brody's rise in AEW has been one of it's best things so far this year, and I can't help but think that him not going over on Sunday, might be a tad damaging.

Thekla vs Kris Statlander 2 Out Of 3 Falls AEW Womens Championship.

I liked this. I don't think that it matched up to what came earlier in the evening, but I did enjoy it. Thekla is slowly becoming one of my favourite Female Pro Wrestlers, and her Matches against Kris Statlander have done what they needed to do. Thekla Retained, and just like that my mind goes to, what's next for Kris Statlander? Fantasy booking for Kris Statlander is difficult, because I want to be suprised with what she does next.

Mistico And Jetspeed vs  Protokada And Mark Davis AEW Trios Championships.

This was another Match of the night contender. The pace was fast, and the in ring worked and had a steady flow. This was a flawless Trios Match, and something that I was pleasantly suprised by. Jetspeed And Mistico got the win, and are our new AEW Trios Champions. The Matches within the Match were steller like I thought they would, and. Mistico went from being the Matches unsung hero, to being All Elite by it's end. This was a nice touch, and an emotional moment for Mistico. I loved this.

Bandido vs Andrade El Idolo.

If you know anything about Mexican Promotions, then you would know that this is a dream Match, and something that fans have been clambering for. I loved there energy, and you could feel it through the TV screen. This was a fantastic Match, that added a sense of belonging for Mexican Pro Wrestling on North American shores. I didn't care who won this, because I could've watched another hour of this.

Tornado Tag Team Match Orange Cassidy. Darby Allin, and. Roderick Strong vs The Dogs.

Look. I did like this Match, I just feel that this would've been better placed on Dynamite. There were some good spots like Clark Connors wrecking his neck with that dive, and cable ties being used with humerous effect, but I got the feeling that this was a glorified TV Match taking place on a PPV. Cassidy, and his mates got the win.

Texas Death Match MJF vs Hangman Adam Page AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

As I sit here on a Wednesday night writing this piece. I realise that i'm late to the party, but this is due to the fact that on Monday night I wasn't feeling very well, and I was feeling rundown from my Day Job. A lot has been said about the overall violence of the Match, but in my opinion, it needed to be this violent, as it was poetic by the way that it finished. Back in July at All In Texas. Hangman Adam Page choked out Jon Moxley to become the AEW World Heavyweight Champion. Fast forward 8 months, and. Max is choking him out in the same way that he won the belt. This was poetic violence being served up to the masses, and it was awesome. From highlight facial expressions to some sickening weapon spots. This was majestic bloodsoaked violence. MJF got the win, as his and Hangmans trilogy comes to a gratifying bloodstained end. This is so far my Match of the year, and a true coming of age moment to end the PPV.

Overview Of AEW Revolution 2026.

I've heard some fans online call this one of the best AEW PPV's in the company's history. Do I agree with this, well, no. Because this was excellent but it's not in the same league as All Out 2021. Double Or Nothing 2021. All In 2023, and 2024, or Revolution 2022, but this was a solid coming of age show, that managed to help AEW continue its great run of form this year.

AEW Revolution 2026 is a high standard 9/10.
