What Legacy is WWE Clash at The Castle Making in the UK?

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...

Roman Reigns WWE Universal Title Record Reign Does it Matter?

  Roman Reigns has been WWE universal champion as of this writing for an incredible 1058 days. The Story of Roman Reigns and the Bloodline has been one of the most engaging compelling piece of storytelling in many years in WWE. Roman won the WWE universal title in August 2020 from Bray Wyatt, and since put on some tremendous matches along the way.  Looking back at these matches so many of them stand out Logan Paul at Crown Jewel,  Sami Zayn at Elimination Chamber, Drew Mcintyre at Clash at The Castle, Cody Rhodes at Wrestlemaina 39. There is no denying that the quality of the matches has been great. WWE even felt strongly that the Universal title wasn't being defended as much and Triple H (Head of Creative, WWE) came out on WWE RAW and said  because WWE felt Universal title was not being defended as much they created WWE Heavyweight Title on 24 April 2023  in order for this to be defended more on TV and on Premium live events. What ...

Thoughts on WWE Wrestlemaina 38 and What was the Best Match?

What an incredible two nights of actions WWE provided for Wrestlemaina 38. I had been out of the loop with WWE for a few months but thought i would watch Wrestlemaina Live and see the matches and what would catch my imagination and I was not disappointed. WWE delivered what Wrestlemaina should be a showcase of the biggest stars and the best wrestling to me I think it was one of the best Wrestlemaina's in recent years. I felt Wrestlemaina was paced out so well and you didn't feel burned out when you got to the end of the show or feel like you had seen the same things a million times over. WWE get a great job of recapping the feuds with video packages before the match plus the announcers did an amazing job of getting across the story of each match while doing great calling the action. I hadn't heard much of Jimmy Smith Commentary before this, but he is brilliant, his tone, delivery and the way he described the cation was excellent, WWE have a real commentary start with him. I...

WWE RAW 2:15 says it’s Time to Change

WWE Raw 2:15 says it’s Time to Change Honestly, its quite sad in 2015 that I am going onto the WWE Network and instead of Watching Raw from a few weeks ago or a Raw from this year, I am going back and watching 1995,1996,1997,1998 Raw Episodes. I'm watching episodes and matches that I have seen a lot before why am I watching it you say? Because it’s more compelling than what I see on a Monday Night in 2015 WWE over the past couple of years has been having something of a struggle the struggle seems to be Character Development, quality television, story and execution. Unfortunately this isn’t just my opinion but the opinion also of a dwindling fan base that’s wants to be entertained and needs to have something to get excited about and enjoy. Looking back over the past few years its been hard for WWE, They have lost a number of big time, experienced Main event players on a full time basis or altogether ranging from Triple H The Rock, Brock Lesnar,...

Does WWE RAW Presentation need to change?

As always everyone thank you for reading and taking the time to check this out. As you all know im a wrestling fan and not a “wrestling expert” or proclaim to be one just my opinion as a fan on what I see  Thanks and Enjoy Does WWE RAW Presentation need to change? I have been thinking about this recently I was reading 10 th Anniversary Edition of a book called “the Death of WCW” and something hit me in context to today WWE product. Going back and thinking about “The Monday Night Wars” WCW vs WWE, Nitro vs Raw the thought hit me, the presentation of Sports entertainment has not changed since the Monday Night Wars. Lets learn from History Vince Russo What I mean by that is the show format has changed very little from When Eric Bischoff started Nitro and Vince Russo (love him or hate him) went to Vince Mcmahon and told him that the WWE Product needed to change that was back in 1997 we are now in 2015 and we have the same format to a show Wrestler A comes out a...

How I'm not ruining WWE for myself anymore.......

Staying off the Internet for a day to enjoy Wrestlemania 31 How I'm not ruining WWE for myself anymore I decided this year as it was the 1st year I have been able to have the WWE network and the fact that I live in the UK and had to work the day after that I would not be able to see Wrestlemania 31 live as it airs a 1am but I would be able to see it after work on Monday at 6pm. So for the 1st time in a long time I decided that I wasn't going on Facebook, Twitter, Internet or any form of media to find any of the results or find out what happened. Also before the event I didn't go on any rumour sites and find out what might be happening. I do this a lot because it saves me time and I get to know what happens straight away, I think im a victim of today's society needing to know everything now, so I decided if I could change that. I had a conversation with a friend of mine who is a wrestling fan as long as me and we were talking about the days when we c...
