The Real Jake Hager in AEW

The Real Jake Hager in AEW Picture Via Telegraph Jake Hager formally known as Jack Swagger during his time in WWE,  Jake had a great run in WWE and started in the promotion in 2006 and Hager become WWE Developmental Territory FCW 1st ever FCW World Champion. Jake then moved to the main WWE roster and from 2008-2017 and during that time Jake become ECW Champion, WWE Money in The Bank Winner, United States Champion and World Heavyweight Champion. Jake had a memorable pairing With Zeb Colter and later Cesaro as the Real Americans. I thought Zeb and Jake were a great pairing and complemented each other so well and when they debuted it created so much buzz and controversy but it seemed like WWE got cold feet and never took this as far as it could go, it would of been interesting to see how far this could of gone. You can check out a recent interview Jake did with Dutch Mantell (Zeb Colter) on his podcast they go into their run in WWE and the issues they fac...

AEW All Elite Wrestling to Sky Sports in The UK?

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...

The Progression and Improvements of 5 Star Wrestling on Freesports UK

The Progression and Improvements of 5 Star Wrestling on Freesports UK  I wrote a blog recently on 5 Star Wrestling 1st week on Freesports UK which you can read here   http://jonswrestleview.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/thoughts-5-star-wrestling-1st-show-on.html Now we are nearly 4 weeks later from that debut I thought I'd have a look back at what has changed in 5 Star Wrestling over those past 4 weeks. Firstly, As I said in the previous blog this is a brand new venture for 5 Star Wrestling onto Live TV and on a new channel in Freesports UK and there is a learning curve for both companies going into it. I felt that a vocal section of fans were overly harsh towards the product without giving it time and giving it a chance to grow.  As a wrestling fan having a British Wrestling Company on a Nationwide British TV Channel across many platforms like Freesports is huge, and its a tremendous opportunity for all involved its great for the UK Wrestling Scene, UK fa...

I was looking forward to seeing what 5 Star Wrestling were going to bring to the table as I hadn't seen then before but had signed many wrestlers I had seen before including Tremendous UK talent Big Grizzly, Eddie Ryan, Adam Maxted, Dave Mastiff and Zack Gibson. In addition I was looking forward to seeing Jack Swagger, John Morrison and RVD and how they would to utilised.  I think its a massive positive that British Wrestling is back on Free TV for Everyone to see this hasn't happened for a very long time,I want British Wrestling to Succeed and thrive, 5 Star need to be given time.  The First Match was For Tap...
