So Wrestlemania has come and gone and it was okay but Takeover was better. Though this year's Wrestlemania wasn't the best it had some good matches like Ronda's amaizing debut match against Stephanie and Triple H. But it had some disappointments like Aj Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura but if I had to pick the most disappointing thing I would say is the re-branding of Finn Bàlor. Forget the real rock and roller and the demon king, instead Bàlor is now the rainbow warrior. If I'm being honest Bàlor is my favourite wrestler and it hurts me to see this happen to him. Bàlor should be presented as a badass that fought his way to the top, not a mid carder who only cares about dressing up as a pack of skittles. I thought that this year would be the best year for Bàlor in WWE as he started to team with Gallows and and Anderson but this only lead to a crappy faction that did nothing, in fact the only sign they were still together was Gallows and Anderson wearing Bàlor club themed gear. Overall I hope Bàlor gets repackaged as well as getting a push into a Universal championship feud.

This year's superstar shake up was a bit of a waste of time. I mean mostly jobbers were traded and I don't think that it will change much from before. I guess it was nice that Jeff won the U.S championship but he'll probably lose it soon. Overall it was bit disappointing and had a lot of lost potential.

One thing in these past few weeks that really surprised me was the Rusev Greatest Royal Rumble issue. In case you didn't know Rusev was scheduled to wrestle The Undertaker but there was an issue that change the match to Chris Jericho vs The Underaker and then the match changed back. Most people thought that this was due to Rusev wanting to leave the company however it seems to have been working visa issues and not contract disagreements.

On a more sad note earlier this week the wrestling legend Bruno Samartino died. This came as a shock to me and many others. RIP Bruno Samartino we will all miss you.

To end on a more positive note, the Greatest Royal Rumble is around the corner and is being handled as a huge event by WWE. The match card is decent but what interests me more is the Royal Rumble it's self. The reason I'm interested is if it'll feel to drawn out or if it'll be able to keep up a fast pace that will keep entertaining. I think that Braun might win but I have high hopes for Rey Mysterio

Neville in ring return, WWE Super Show Down, WWE working with WXW and more. WoWB 13

World of Wrestling Blog 13 Yesterday Neville made his wrestling return by appearing at at the first day of the Dragon Gate Gate. of Victory shows. He returned to join the group Red after the company was teasing a big return on the build up to the show. Whist some questions are yet to be answered one very important question has yet to be answered, why is Dragon Gate Wrestling ubsessed with gates. Anyway it seems that DGPW doesn't have exclusive contracts so it is possible for him to work for companies like Progress and ROH however I don't think that we will see him with NJPW due to it being a rival to DGPW.        On Sunday WWE will be going to Australia for Super Show Down, the biggest WWE show in Australia ever. Whilst the show has a generous amount of trow away matches there are some ones to watch out for. The main draw to the show is the Undertaker vs Triple H with Kane and Michaels on the side, this match needs has become more interesting with the rumours of...

Fighting With My Family Review

Fighting With My Family Review Fight with my family attempts to tell the story of the transition from the British indies to WWE made by WWE superstar Paige. The film is very entertaining and succeeds at creating drama and very funny moments. Whilst the film is filled with inaccuracies, it acts as an interesting insight into the life  of Paige despite being incredibly inaccurate. However I found the cinematography to be quite basic and some of the acting to be lacking. One thing the film succeeds incredibly at is comedy. I personally found that the comedy was well spaced out and used when appropriate. Scenes like the opening or the dinner scene where Paige and Zak find out about their WWE tryouts to be very good. The jokes in the film appeal to adults and children alongside wrestling fans and non wrestling fans. I feel that the best comedic moments where the ones that featured Nick Frost who played Roy Knight, Paige's dad. Personally I also found the scene with Sheamus and th...

How heels should be done in wrestling

How Heels Should Be Done In Wrestling  Heels are the backbone of Wrestling and are arguably some of the best characters the buisness has to offer. Tommaso Ciampa, Triple H and Mr McMahon are some of the best I. WWE but what made them so good. The key is the three main stages of being a heel and each one is necessary for a heel to be the most hateable and annoying person ever. The Introduction: Whether it be a debut or a heel turn, the next introduction of a heel character is very important. The basics for the introduction of a heel character is to do something absolutely horrible detestable and then either cut a promo or leave and start ranting on social media. The promo should center around why you did what you did and must feature you saying that the crowd should have expected this. This paired with great acting really makes hate you and whilst the promo formula can be modified it should be modified with caution as for example saying you did for the crowd and make it seem ...
