Hello everyone, Scott here

Following John Cena announcing he will be retiring at the end of 2025, I wanted to tell you guys a little story.

Back in 2007, 7 year old me was flickering through Sky TV and came across a show on Sky One called WWE Experience. WWE Experience was a wwe highlights show for us who couldn’t afford the sports package that aired the WWE weekly live events. When I turned it on, it appeared to be just before No Mercy 2007. The very first people I saw on the screen were Randy Orton and John Cena and because of what I saw, I was hooked and nearly 17 years later, I’m still hooked to this day, and a huge part of that, is because of John Cena.

Although not full time in a few years, John Cena has been loyal to the WWE for 22 years and has always called that place his home. He embraced the crowds reaction, whether he was being booed or being cheered, he was grateful for the reaction. The fan base didn’t like Cena for a long time, said he was being pushed down our throats, constantly on our screens, the face of WWE for a long time but I couldn’t think of anyone better to be the face during that time. He adapted with the times, he changed his character to become children friendly, he was a man of the people.

I also have a small grievance I’d like to put out there. People called John Cena a hypocrite for calling out The Rock for leaving the WWE for Hollywood and John has even admitted that himself. But, with all due respect, The Rock was in The WWF/E for 4 years before he went part time to make movies and he was there 8 years before he left completely to become an actor full time. John Cena was wrestling full time for 16 years before going part time to focus on his movie career. I imagine he also went part time to give his body time to recover so he could continue to wrestle for more years, even if it was part time. He even still made appearances and wrestled atleast 1-2 times a year and made the effort to come back when, let’s face it, he didn’t have to, he was making enough money to retire from WWE long ago, but he didn’t. He earned the right to seek out other ventures, something to carry on with once his pro wrestling career came to an end because he gave us his time for so long.

I’m going to end with this, John Cena has earned the respect of every pro wrestling fan in the world. I have all the respect in the world for the man. So with that, I say this. Thank You John Cena. We have over a year left to enjoy your in ring work before you hang it up for good. I hope the John Cena Farewell Tour next year consists of one last and a record breaking 17th world title run because he deserves to be the one to break the record!

Sorry for the long post!

HUSTLE!
LOYALTY!
RESPECT!

Well deserved.

Title matches at are shaping up nicely.

23/02/2024

WWE Elimination Chamber will soon be upon us. Live from Perth, Australia. Available on WWE Network in the UK at 10:00am.

I predict the following:
Men's Chamber: Drew McIntyre
Women's Chamber: Becky Lynch
Womens World Heavyweight Championship: Rhea Ripley.
Unified Tag Team Championship: Judgement Day.

Something big will also go down on The Grayson Waller Effect talk show segment, too. Rumours are rife that Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins will team up to take on Roman Reigns and The Rock on night one of WrestleMania. This could be where that plan goes into action.

I also expect further storyline development and see potential matches from WrestleMania XL to begin to flourish tomorrow too.

Enjoy the show!

- Andrew.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2024, Live from Perth, Australia this Saturday. 10:00am UK time.

It looks like being a potentially great show.

I'm expecting great matches and more storyline progression as we head further down the road towards WrestleMania XL!

09/02/2024

Well, it's now official! The American Nightmare will attempt to at WrestleMania XL by challenging The Head of the Table for the WWE championship.

It was quite an interesting move by WWE this week, with the benefit of hindsight. I now believe they were testing the waters to see how the fans truly felt about Cody Rhodes and the answer is that he is undoubtedly over with the masses and is the right choice to be the face of WWE going forward.

Well played, H, well played.

29/01/2024

Huge congratulations to Cody Rhodes and Bayley for winning their respective Royal Rumbles this past Saturday.

I think it's obvious who they will be challenging at WrestleMania. Sometimes booking matches doesn't have to complex, sometimes they just make sense and that's what I'm really enjoying about current WWE product, slow burn, long term sensible booking!

Huge news!

Cultaholic Wrestling have put together this magnificent 4 part documentary about the Golden Age of the World Wrestling Federation. It's highly enjoyable and as big as fan as I am of this particular era, I still learned something new.

Check it out!

25/11/2023

time again, this used to be my favourite supercard of the wrestling year during the Golden Era. Very much looking forward to tonight's show and the return of The Apex Predator, . Fully expecting Der Ring General to retain his Intercontinental Championship as well.

15/09/2023

Roman Reigns is currently scheduled to defend the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on Saturday the 4th of November.

The opponent is unknown at this time.

This means Reigns should be back on our screens in the few next weeks to promote the title bout.

This will be only the tenth match Roman has had this year and only his third title defence of 2023!

Not great statistics for a supposed "dominant champion!" 🙄

Get the belt off this guy!

- Andrew.

14/09/2023

The 2023 was announced today.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins officially tops the list.

The full top 10:

1) Seth Rollins
2) Roman Reigns
3) Jon Moxley
4) Gunther
5) Hijo DelVikingo
6) MJF
7) Kazuchika Okada
8)Orange Cassidy
9) Josh Alexander
10) Cody Rhodes

Hopefully this list isn't a complete joke like last year's one. Personally, I'd have put Gunther in 2nd spot. Roman Reigns wouldn't be in my top 10 he's hardly wrestled all year. I also know this a kayfabed list 🤪

- Andrew.

14/09/2023

Nia Jax returned on Raw this past Monday.

She will be a major threat to the Womens World Championship if booked like she was before.

Big questions still remain over her style and protecting her opponents in the ring, but I think she will be an asset to the Raw brand which is light on genuine female talent at the moment.

Time will tell...

- Andrew.

Congratulations to "The Man" Becky Lynch, who recently captured the NXT Womens Championship from Tiffany Stratton.

The win also makes the Lass Kicker a Grand Slam champion in WWE, having previously held the Raw and SmackDown versions of the title.
