The Rock,John Cena and WWE made me feel the magic of Pro Wrestling again

Wrestling has always been about telling stories and creating moments. wrestling has always been a industry of telling good vs bad, one guy against another and whether good can indeed overcome evil. That is wrestling in its simplest form, you can add more complexities to it, more nuances, more layers to the story and the more compelling you make it, the more involved the fans become, the more they want to see where the story goes and the eagerness to see that story come to a conclusion. That's the magic of Pro Wrestling is making someone feel something, that's why i loved it so much as a child my superheroes weren't Superman or Batman they were real life pro wrestlers that told me stories of good vs bad,. I always remember a moment when i first felt true emotion in Pro Wrestling it was Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper Wrestlemaina 8 Intercontinental title match, in the middle of the match Piper is holding the ring bell, just about to use it on a bloody Bret Hart, Piper looks at the ...

Why did Cody Rhodes Leave AEW? Family? Money? Ego? Creative?

  On Feb 15th 2022 it was announced on AEW twitter via a statement for AEW owner Tony Khan that Cody Rhodes along with his wife Brandi could not come to an agreement on a new deal and that Cody and Brandi have left AEW in both capacity as wrestlers and also Cody as Executive Vice President and Brandi as Chief Brand Officer for AEW. Cody Rhodes then released his own statement following the news of him leaving  There have been many theories and lots of rumours and reasoning on the internet and in the wrestling world as to why.  I thought we'd have a look at some of these and see if any make sense and what could be next for Cody Rhodes. Firstly let me give my opinion as a fan for what its worth looking from the outside in.  I personally find it very strange that Cody Rhodes chose to leave right now. Cody was a successful EVP, His Wife a Successful Brand Officer, He had his own Show Rhodes to the Top and was a judge on Go Big Show. Plus he was also working with his broth...

The Forbidden Door is Open AEW and NJPW

Since the inception of AEW at a press conference in Jacksonville, Florida on 8 January 2019 fans have been wondering and clamouring could there be a cross promotion between the newly formed AEW and New Japan Pro Wrestling. With the majority of the AEW Roster being announced at the conference in Jan 2019 and being revealed as a number of Ex New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) Alumni (Cody, The Young Bucks, Chris Jericho, Adam Page etc) and then following this in Feb 2019 Kenny Omega was announced as AEW signee, fans grew hopefully that a collaboration might happen. However sadly during the first year of the company this was not to be. AEW during that year had Jon Moxley, Best Friends, Lance Archer and other NJPW Alumni join their roster and  despite AEW and AEW Owner Tony Khan allowing his AEW contracted wrestlers to wrestle for NJPW (Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley) New Japan was still unwilling to allow their wrestlers to appear on AEW. Then thing star...

UK TV Wrestling - All Elite Wrestling to ITV and WWE to BT sport

UK TV Wrestling - All Elite Wrestling to ITV and WWE to BT Sport All Elite Wrestling to ITV Wow, just wow, In what has been the most game changing weeks in professional wrestling in the last 20 years. All elite wrestling announced that they had secured a TV deal with itv in the UK. This deal with UK biggest to rights broadcaster gives ITV rights For itv box office to air AEW pay per view events and for itv network to air AEW new weekly to show.  ITV used to show WCW back in the early 90s and then stopped showing wrestling until world of sport wrestling returned in 2018, ITV dipped their toe back in the water and I think they got a feeling that they would like to add wrestling on a more full time basis , sadly however for WOS it wasn't to be the UK promotion and ITV decided to take a chance with the all new AEW. A few days later at TV upfront in Madison square garden AEW and Time Warner announced that AEW would be debuting a new weekly to show on TNT in U...
