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 the Big Show to be quite funny as well I don't think it'll appeal to non wrestling fans that much. Overall comedy in this film is great and makes a very enjoyable experience to go and see.

The drama in this film is intense and I really think this is due to Jack Lowden's portrayal of Zak Knight. I feel that he was to show emotion through subtle things like facial expression and tone very well. The drama in the film doesn't feel out of place and suits as story like this perfectly. My personal favourite scene when it comes to drama is when Paige is getting in the van to go to America, this is one of my favourite scenes from Jack Lowden simply based off of his facial expression and body language. This scene, at least for me, changed how I viewed the character of Zak and I believe this scene showed a sudden change in tone for the film. In whole the usage and implementation of drama in the film is very good and adds a feeling of realism to it.

The acting in the film is great, there wasn't really a moment where I thought that the acting was dreadful and I feel the cast had good chemistry. Nick Frost and Jack Lowden stand out in my opinion but Florence Pugh isn't far behind them. Florence had her best scenes when around Jack Lowden and this is due to the two having great chemistry. I feel acting while there's not much to say but I feel the casting of the characters was good.

My main issues with the film are mainly focused in last parts of the film. I feel that the AJ Lee match could Mohave been more well handled as in maybe seeing more of Aj. One thing that bothers me is how the story makes these interesting plot lines like the girls from the beginning being harsh on wrestling I feel that that should have had an ending of some sorts and same with this issue Paige has in the film about her body image. This body image story line seems to have been forgotten about at the end. My final issue is that the film could have gone on a bit longer and end with Paige's retirement, if they did this I feel the film would have felt more finished if that makes sense as in the story would have had a more satisfying ending.

Overall the film is great and really draws in the viewer to an interesting take on the wrestling buisness. I personally rate it 8.25/10, it is a good film that a lot of people would enjoy but suffers from both being a bit too short and filled with too many lose ends. I feel the film will satisfy anyone who goes to see it.

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.
