Wrestler of the Week - Week Three


Made the decision to make this weekly article a British wrestling exclusive type thing. To be honest, no one in particular across WWE or TNA has taken my interest recently, and I've yet to get further into more international wrestling. It's being a bit biased but wrestling over here has been the only wrestling that's had me gripped for the past few months, so it's easier for me to make a decision for this based around the home promotions. This week's main man is one who that I could watch for hours in the ring. One of the brightest prospects in Scottish wrestling today. The man who is known as "The Bollocks" - Kenny Williams.

Summerslam 2014 Preview & Predictions


It's one of those times in wrestling where all the seeds are planted for Wrestlemania season. Where, technically, the "Road to Wrestlemania" begins at the Royal Rumble, 9 times out of 10, the Summerslam card dictates what happens for the rest of the season. Look at last year. Daniel Bryan won the WWE Championship clean from John Cena in a match of the year contender, only to have the title snatched from him in the dying minutes of the show by Triple H and Randy Orton, who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract. Fast forward to WM30, and after an 8 month long battle with Triple H's authority, Daniel Bryan fulfilled his destiny by winning the now unified WWE World Heavyweight Championship, defeating not only Hunter himself to gain entry into the title match on the night, but then champion Orton and Royal Rumble winner Batista in a triple threat match. An 8 month journey starting at Summerslam, will we be treated to something similar this year? Only time will tell. Only early days but, so let's deal with the matters at hand. Here's what the card looks like for this Sunday...

RAW Review 11/8/14


It was Hulk Hogan's birthday on RAW this week, and as could have been expected, everything was red and yellow. There was a big stack of presents for the Hulkster on the stage, this week's RAW was to be a PARTY! And just like any empty you've ever been at, there's that one prick who turns up and flushes yer hamster down the toilet. The prick in question here is Brock Lesnar, and he's here to send a message. Well, Paul Heyman is, and Brock'll just stand there making his best constipated faces. Heyman tells us that John Cena is going to be made to suffer at Summerslam, and that the beating he'll receive will be tantamount to a Shakespearean tragedy. He claims that Hulk Hogan and The Rock were never the same after Brock got his hands on them, and we won't be seeing Cena for a long time after Summerslam. Paul goes on to belt out a belter of a rap about Brock, and then states that the WWE ring is Brock's home, and after everyone has their party tonight, the man of the house is coming home. Typically brilliant promo from Heyman.

Change Is Good

I’ve not watched WWE programming for the past few weeks, mainly because of a lack of ways to watch it, but even when I get the chance, I don’t feel obliged to watch it the way I used to. Where I do plan on getting back into the swing of things tonight for RAW, I can’t help but feel as if the storylines at the moment just aren’t doing it for me. The main problem for me personally is down to NXT. The developmental program is, in my opinion, casting a shadow over anything that the main roster has been doing recently, and I feel as if when it comes to WWE, you’re getting better quality of viewing in one hour of NXT than you do in three hours of RAW.
