NXT UK: a new era for British Wrestling

NXT UK : The New Era of British Wrestling

Recently WWE have held NXT U.K. Takeover Blackpool. The show was great with a very good opening match with Moustache Mountain vs  Grizzled Young Veterans, Finn Bàlor shockingly taking on his poorly made clone or as some call him Jordan Devlin and a phenomenal main event that both allowed Joe Coffey to look even stronger than he did before and make Pete Dunne look even more like the top guy of the brand. Finally at the end of the show Walter made his debut on NXT UK when he came out to signify that he wants to challenge Pete Dunne for his title. Any way this show was great at both displaying some of the best UK talent the company has to offer but also signify a new era in British Wrestling.
     WWE is the biggest wrestling company in the world and having it display what I think to be one of the best wrestling scenes in the world is great. British Wrestling used to be huge around the 70s and 80s with World of Sport, many of the older British population would have watched and this started a hunger for wrestling in Britain. Around this time WWE became more and more popular and soon, like it did in America, became a wrestling superpower. This lead to death of World of Sport and started a dark period in British Wrestling. Whilst the scene wasn't dead it certainly was as popular as it used to be in this era however things started to pick up around the late 2000s and early 2010s and eventually we find ourselves here with the scene being the home for a new expansion by WWE. Due to this expansion attempt more attention has been put on British scene and its seen the return of World of Sport alongside the rise in popularity for companies like Progress and ICW.
     Whilst the history of the British Indie scene is a lot more complicated than I’ve made it out to be the point still remains that the scene is moving into a new era and this era will be the biggest the scene has ever faced. The acts of WWE are directly related to this era as they've attempted to expand the scene and make it bigger overall. I believe that the scene will grow to rival that of the US and Japan. The scene faces an issue though as some of the biggest companies in it are controlled by WWE and I feel that this could lead to the scene being held back. We just need to wait and see how all of this turns out.

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 DX vs The

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 like

ROH star backstage at Raw, ROH star Debuts on NXT, Tyler Breeze going to NXT, NXT UK Takeover, Huge European star to NXT and more

World of Wrestling Blog 19 At this weeks Raw, ROH star Silas Young was spotted backstage. Whilst I'm not familiar with his work from what I've seen he's a very WWE style wrestler as in he sort of reminds me of Triple H for some reason. He also seems to be good on the mic and could be a good addition to the roster but I hope he starts off on NXT as I feel that this is best way to get him a fanbase in WWE. I recommend looking at his match with ACH on YouTube as whilst it isn't the best match you'll ever see I feel it's a good introduction.        Onto another ROH star being joining WWE, Punishment Martinez made his debut on NXT at the recent tapings. On his debut he faced Matt Riddle and after the match Riddle was attacked by Khasius Ohno. Whilst ,like Young , I'm quite unfamiliar with his work and I think seeing him on NXT would be a good introduction to him.       Talking about the recent NXT tapings, Tyler Breeze returned to the place that made him.
