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 ...

We have had 3 WWE PLE in UK in recent times, WWE Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales on 3 September 2022 was the first WWE PLE since WWE Insurrextion on 7 June 2003. This was then followed by WWE Money in Bank at 02 Arena on 1 July 2023. The most recently installment WWE Clash at The Castle Scotland from OVO Arena, Glasgow on June 15 2024. Today i'd like to focus on WWE Clash at The Castle PLE's and after two of them in recent years what legacy is it creating in the UK. Everyone remembers Summerslam 1992 at Wembley and how much that meant to wrestling fans in the UK and what it did to shape fans of wrestling.  To have a full PPV authentic from America with the biggest stars, from the biggest show - it was one of the biggest moments for UK Wrestling fans ever. Alot of those fans who attended later becoming, wrestlers and personalities in the wrestling business today both in the UK and abroad. It help shaped a future generation to have a love and a passion for something that se...

  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...

AEW  All Elite Wrestling to Sky Sports in The UK?  All Elite Wrestling airs in the UK on ITV 4 on a Friday night and ITV Hub (Itv on demand service should be uploaded on a Thursday) ITV don't air AEW Dynamite live and a separate subscription has to be purchased via Fite.TV if fans wish to do this.  Initially things started off OK although @itvwrestling had difficulties getting Dynamite on ITV Hub on time (they promised Thursdays at 7pm) usually this was up on a Friday morning. However as the weeks went on the uploading to ITV hub did not get any better and as of this writing its as worse as it has ever been they don't upload the episodes consistently which is leaving many fans frustrated and ITV Wrestling haven't been communicating with fans. @ITV Wrestling haven't tweeted about AEW since Dec 5th - they haven't updated any of their graphics since Full Gear and ITV wrestling now seem totally...

Being The Elite - My Favourite Episode Episode 90 "Bullet Club is Fine" In a recent blog post - The Elite Storytellers of Pro Wrestling which you can read here   http://jonswrestleview.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/the-elite-storytellers-of-pro-wrestling.html I talked about Kenny Omega, Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson and their ability to tell a story which I feel gets overlooked when people talk about them and they don't get enough credit for thought, consistency and endeavour that goes into creating these stories.  Being The Elite has told great stories that have been intertwined with New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring of Honor and other wrestling shows. I saw an Episode of Being the Elite which really captivated me to wrote this blog as a separate entry and a companion piece to my recent blog.  Being The Elite - Episode 90 "Bullet Club is Fine" This has become my favourite episode of Being The Elite. Episode 90 is everything I love about Pro ...
