Top 10 Things That: Should Happen In WWE 2018!

Hello and welcome back to my blog where today is the last day of November which means it is the last day of my wrestling themed month of top 10 lists. Sad times right? Well wipe those tears and drink a monster as i will tell you 10 things that should happen in wwe next year! 

(THIS WAS WRITTEN 5/11/17, SCOTT IS NO TIME TRAVELLER AND CANT SEE INTO THE FUTURE, HE WROTE THIS LIST OUT OF FUN!) 

10) James Ellsworth Breaks Free From Carmella - So this is a wild one i know but James Ellsworth is your average looking guy and people still love him. So imagine if he breaks free of Carmella steals her Money In The Bank briefcase only to show up on 205 Live cashing it in on the cruiserweight champion Enzo and winning the title? Mad enough to fail or mad enough to work?

9) Asuka Becomes Raw Womens Champion - The empress of tomorrow has not long joined raw and is still undefeated at this moment in time i am writing this but it would be epic if her streak continued and she picked up the raw womens championship title next year and dominates the roster until a draft occurs and she then works her way towards the SD Live womens title in 2019. 

8) Samoa Joe Becomes Intercontinental Champion - Face it Joe is a beast and Miz is going to be going off tv soon for a while to take care of his wife and newborn child so who best to take the title and have a good run with it dominating up and down all around? JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE JOE!

7) Bobby Roode Becomes World Heavyweight Champion - He's a fast rising star in the WWE and how GLORIOUS would 2018 be with Bobby as champ? I tell how GLORIOUS, SO GLORIOUS!

6) Rock V HHH At Wrestlemania - This has been teased on and off for a good few years now that the two stepping foot inside the ring against one another one final time, it would be a great sight for sure and draw money, views, fans etc it would be great.

5) Styles Vs Nakamura WrestleMania - Yes this most teased and dreamt wwe match should happen at Mania its the grandest stage of them all for one of the biggest matches of all, fans would be ecstatic about it and it would draw money, views and it would not disappoint.

4) Charlotte Flair wins Smackdown Womens Championship - Charlotte since joining the SD live roster has not been as lively as she used to be on Raw. Back on Raw she was winning the title dropping it winning it and dropping it and winning it and so on a few times over. So it is about time she won the SD womens championship and had a run.

3) The Undertaker Returns But Not As The Deadman - So at RAW 25 next year we have been confirmed that Undertaker will be back but what if he makes his return to an image on screen saying "The Deadman may be dead but....." then american badass by Kid Rock kicks in with "I'M AN AMERICAN BADASS" and Taker comes out back in Biker gear cuts a promo saying. "When i was buried alive i had to channel the dead to get back to you all again but in doing that it seems to me like i lost my yard. Now before i can even think about taking my rest and taking my Harley out 24/7 for long runs across the country, i can not rest knowing that some punk ass disrespectful guys are running around here and i just want to let you know that there aint no rest for the wicked and i'm coming to put you all on notice."

2) Braun Strowman Most Eliminations In Royal Rumble & Win At Main Event Universal Title WrestleMania - Braun has had a hell of a 2017 and i think everyone was disappointed he lost to Lesner because Braun deserved that win and to send the part time fiend packing back to UFC. Braun should get the record for most eliminations in next Rumble and win the match and to get to main event wrestlemania and win the title i reckon. A run fit for a monster among men. 

1) Finn Balor Wins Universal Championship Again & Gets A Lengthy Run! - When Finn won the title in an epic bout with Seth Rollins it was amazing but was was sad was Finn being the first and having to drop the title due to an injury and since then i guess the wwe creative team just see's Finn as too small and feeble to ever put a big belt on him. He deserves his reign as champion and he will give us good matches so stop pussy footing about WWE and BOOK THIS!

Well this wraps up my wrestling themed month, so thanks for visiting my blog all month and i hope you continue to do so in future. 


Check back regularly for new lists! 

STAY SHINY!

Top 10 Things That: Should Happen In TNA Impact 2018

Hello there, so we are almost at the end of my Top 10 Wrestling themed month on my blog where i have spent hours and days and a month putting together a lot of lists for you all daily featuring top 10 champions and moments and now we look to the future with Top 10 Things That Should Happen with TNA Impact taking this one and WWE taking the final one tomorrow! 

So get ready as we embark on a trip to the future! (WARNING THIS BLOG POST WAS WRITTEN 3/11/2017  AND IS MADE FOR FUN! SCOTT IN NO WAY CLAIMS TO BE A SEER OF FUTURE EVENTS!) 

10) Aldo "Adam" Rose/Leo Kruger And Jack Swagger Joins - It’s been quite a while since we last saw these two in a major promotion, but could 2018 be the year that Impact Wrestling signs them both? 


9) Emma Joins - She has recently left WWE and everyone poured out their hearts to her but wouldn't it be something if TNA picked her up and gave her a great big push? It would turn a lot of heads for sure. 

8) Bound For Glory Uk Live PPV - It has been rumoured and teased for years and TNA did do a one night only ppv in uk but never a live one and Bound For Glory would be an epic one. Fans here in UK love TNA, TNA has proved to pull in more ratings than WWE on Uk screens and at live shows also in the past so for them to fully take advantage of it they should jump over here do a tour and live shows and end with a ppv. 

7) Ava Storie Becomes Knockout Champion - I like Ava i know we have not seen much of her this year but she has potential and she is the youngest member of the roster and she was trained by Jay Lethal so you see she has potential and give her the chance and i am sure she will give a good run. 

6) Up the rating - By this i mean they should get to perhaps ages 15/16 plus again because back in their hay day Impact was dominated with a mature older fanbase who were hardcore and very lively, the wrestlers there could benefit more from being able to be as uncensored as they would like to be and the matches could be nonstop action once again. 

5) The X-Division Take Over - I'd like a huge push once again for the X-division. Let's push aside simple matches and give them more different match styles. X division is no nonsense, high flying, risk taking and it should go back to the "it's not about weight limits its about no limits" moniker. So let's get some new guys in all different weights and what not and as long as they can go, take risks and bring us more unique styles and matches i think the division will really take off more. Let's have more ultimate x's, ladder matches, falls count anywhere and hell asylum matches even just go nuts and give us some spectacular spots, moves, wrestlers and matches! Maybe to kick this X division revolution off we have the X division being fed up of being shunned and pushed aside while the tag division and heavyweights get more screen time and what not. 

4) VOW Vs OVE Tag Title Fued - I'd like this to happen but i would like it to be shown fairly as in it's not a squash because VOW is two big army vets compared to the x division look on the brothers of OVE. I think they could have an entertaining fued with titles swapping hands now and then in a bunch of matches between the two teams but it has to be done right! 

3) Andrew Everrett Vs Desmond Xavier X division championship Feud - These two are my favourite x division stars so i hope they both get a push win the title and give us a hell of a feud leading to one becoming the leader in the x division take over i mentioned. 

2) Bram V Ec3 Impact Grand Championship Feud - I'd love to see these two fued for the grand title and have Bram win it as i really like both stars and think they could elevate this title more. 

1) James Storm Becomes TNA World Heavyweight Champion Again With A Longer Reign! - James deserves to have a full run with the title a longer one than his last, he deserves it! I think leading to a run with this title he should also win the Grand Championship. Perhaps he joins forces with Grado as the two may seem unusual pair but it would work trust me. Grado and Storm are friends the two drink enjoy their selves have fun, give us some entertaining tv moments and perhaps they run into the grand champ in a bar and the grand champ pushes Grado into Storm causes him to spill a drink onto the back of Storm and Storm thinks this is just disrespect from Grado and causes a bit of tension but ultimately the two make up continue drinking and then comes the grand champ again but this time rubs being a champ into Storms face saying "You could never hold onto a singles title for long, the only title you have ever held onto longer than a beer bottle is a plastic made up drinking title thats fit for an alcoholic no good redneck" and slaps the bottle out of James Storm's hand causing Storm to flip out hitting the grand champ at that time. With Grado and plenty of Storm's "drinking water" in hand Storm wins the grand title only to lose it in a rematch at the next ppv because he stops to have a drink from grado and starts to drink and suddenly gets rolled up and pinned and loses the title in a shocking fashion upset. He gets a rematch but this time loses it again due to a beer bottle being smashed over Storms head. Storm flips out beating up the ref, tearing up turnbuckles with him also beating up security and others and we have Grado enter the ring with some whiskey and it calms down Storm having them leave the ring. Cut to Storm a few weeks later heavily drinking and Grado finds him and stops him from drinking or tries to an it angers storm causing them to fued and have Grado constantly say Storm is an alcoholic and its why he never holds onto single titles for long and Grado wants to help James as a friend to friend. James and Grado have a hell of a match with Grado suffering heavily with blood pouring and smashed bottles but Grado keeps on fightin in a last man standing match, since Grado said he could out stand James and James would lose easily due to his drinking problems. James is angry as Grado wont stay on the mat. James grabs a third beer bottle to smash over Grado but his hand starts to shake. Grado is on his knees exhausted covered in blood yelling to James to do it but James just stops and drops the bottle and just lays down and tell's the ref to count and the ref gets to 10 and raises Grado's hand in the air and declares him the winner. Grado gets up and goes over to Storm and offers his hand which Storm accepts and says to him "Help me..." to which Grado nods his head and Storm and Grado hug and they both leave the ring. Storm goes off tv for few weeks as Grado helps him fight against his addiction. We get updates every now and then Storm struggling. Month or two passes the current world champ say's he's beaten everyone there is to beat and issues an open challenge to all those who have not challenged the champ. Suddenly in comes Grado who say's he has not beat Grado but it's not Grado's time and instead has a better challenger in mind and out comes James Storm to a pop looking happy and really excited and the match kicks off at BFG 2018. James Storm is looking shaky as he is getting beat until a distraction from Grado has Storm on the rebound and he clotheslines the champ to the outside but Storm seems tired. Grado sees this and how Storm is struggling and gets in the ring to check on him. Grado exits the ring to go under the ring skirt to grab a bottle of beer and hands it to Storm which Storm reluctantly accepts and drinks it and it fires Storm up who goes back on the attack to the champ eventually super kicking his way to win the TNA World Championship title. 

 Well this has been a lot of fun and killed a few hours for me, so thanks for reading this list! 

Let me know your thoughts on it and come back tomorrow for more. STAY SHINY!

My WWE Games Greatest Hits Soundtrack!

I have been tasked by James Davie (he's my regular reader and suggester and so thank you as ever James) to write down 12 songs from the WWE games that i'd put on a greatest hits soundtrack compilation. I thought this was very interesting and would be something fun to do. So follow me as we take a trip down musical grappling lane! I will also state i have only played WWF Smackdown 1 - Here Comes The Pain and WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 - 2K17. 

My WWE Games Greatest Hits Soundtrack List
1) HELLYEAH - You Wouldn't Know - Now this track is a firm fave of mine out of all of the songs in WWE games. I first got into this band through this tune! Hell of a song and damn right catchy so i have to include it. Featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2008. "You couldn't be, you couldn't be me even if you wanted to!"

2) Skillet - Monster - My god the first time i heard this was just something unreal i had chills and just could not believe what i was hearing because it was that damn good and Skillet are one of my all time fave bands on the planet and i was first introduced to them through two songs on a WWE game. Featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2010. "I hate what I've become, The nightmare's just begun, I must confess that I feel like a monster!"

3) Black Stone Cherry - Lonely Train - Song that got me into this band is their best or one of, i have seen BSC live three times and every time this song has played goosebumps and just chills its such an amazing song and catchy to boot. Featured on Smackdown Vs Raw 2007. "But you can't judge a book, Looking at the cover, You can't love someone, While messing with another, No, you can't win a war, Fighting with your brother, You wanna have peace, Gotta love one another!"

4) Pennywise - Revolution - What a catchy song, just a hell of a tune you have to sing along to during its chorus, it was heavily featured in all adverts for WWE 13 which is still one of the best wwe games in my opinion. "We're holding on, We'll right this wrong, And fight on, We will remember today, Let me hear You say wo-o-oh! We we want a revolution!"

5) Three Days Grace - Animal I Have Become - Hell of a song, used to always have the tv turned up for this to block out my bad singing while i sung along to this catchy tune and i could not help but to have it on repeat either. Featured on Smackdown Vs Raw 2007. "So what if you can see the darkest side of me?, No one will ever change this animal I have become, Help me believe it's not the real me, Somebody help me tame this animal!"

6) Egypt Central - Taking You Down - Featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 is this hit, catchy and one to get you to sing along and nod your head to and one of those revolt stand up for yourself songs.  "I'll shake the ground that you stand on, I'll still be here when you're long gone, This world is mine you can't have it, It's my turn to wreak havoc."

7) Bloodsimple - Dead Man Walking - This heavy badass fast paced track was featured back on Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 also. It's hard hitting and catchy and one that's been etched in my mind since playing the game. "All the blood that I've spilt, There's no emotion, just destruction of another person, Look at the blood on my hands!"

8) Disturbed - Perfect Insanity - One of my fave bands hands down is of course on my list because this featured in Smackdown Vs Raw 2009 also. Heavy, catchy, tough and badass is how i sum this one up and WHAT A HELL OF A SOLO! "I Don't know how much I can take, The secret thoughts inside me wake, I've lost what was within me, Oh sweet insanity"

9) Megadeth - Symphony Of Destruction - Featured way back on the Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 game had a hell of a remix of Megadeth's classic headbanger. "You take a mortal man, And put him in control, Watch him become a god, Watch people's heads a-roll!"

10) Static-X - Start A War - Featured also on Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 was this blend of industrial heavy metal catchy aggressive tune. "I'll start a war, Against you, You're one of them, You call yourself, A victim, But you're at it again"

11) Knife Party - Bonfire - A song which is mostly electronic dance instrumental despite a few repeated bars but this one is so catchy with its beats it just gets me going every time and song always stick in my head after hearing it. Featured in WWE 2K15.

12) Flo Rida W/Sia - Wild Ones (Wrestlemania Remix) - Pop song on this list from me? Yes its true and i know, all those amazing rock and metal songs even rap ones that i could have given a spot to and i pick this? Well i picked it for variety as my list has mostly been Rock/Metal despite the last two entries and WWE games always have variety and this is a catchy guilty pleasure song which i loved listening to while playing. Featured WWE 2K15.

And that is all i have for you with this list, thank you for reading and stopping by, come back for more soon!

Top 10 TNA World Heavyweight Champions

The final tna list comes at you now, crossing the line we will find out the top 10 best or my favourite TNA World Heavyweight Champions!
10) Eric Young - Eric Young’s TNA career was great with him playing just about every role in the company. Despite being known for his comedy, Young had great in-ring skills. Eric Young came out of absolutely nowhere to win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in April 2014 from Magnus. EY had been with TNA since the very beginning and had proved himself a versatile and valuable performer, something that will surely continue in NXT and WWE. He deserved the win and i wish he had more of a run and more runs with the title.


9) Jeff Hardy - He has had his up's and down's but Jeff Hardy was one of the biggest stars in tna and still is a big star hell he has been since the 90s. His first two title runs were lame, so was his heel character as a whole and in the time of immortal he was not sober or clean so that adds negatives but despite all this, his third reign was great and i love Jeff Hardy he is such a great talent.


8) Lashley - His first TNA run was a flop with nothing of note coming. TNA gave him another chance and actually made the right call for once and did him better than WWE. Lashley has been TNA World Champion four times over the past few years. All of his reigns have gone well with him playing the dominant heel champion very well. Lashley changed his game to implement more of his MMA style and it worked perfectly when combined with his power moves.


7) Bully Ray - Bully Ray is one of the most talked-about TNA world champions in companies history and one of the most unlikely. For most of his 22-year career, the tag team specialist Bully Ray was a pudgy tag team wrestler. But when he felt Team 3D had run its course he split up the duo and underwent one of the most drastic transformations wrestling had ever seen. He went on to become a fully heel character the Bully who was the Calf-zilla of wrestling and he went on to loose over 100 pounds to slim down a bit to be in best shape of his life to then go on to "marry" Brooke Hogan in a story and betray the Hogans to win the TNA world title by revealing he was the man behind the Aces & Eights. He is great wrestler in ring and he is also great on the mic and so him winning the championship twice holding it for combined days of 196.


6) Austin Aries - One of TNA's better moments took place when Austin Aries faced off with Bobby Roode for the TNA World Championship at Destination X 2012. Roode was the hated heel with a dominant title reign. Aries blossomed into one of the most popular wrestlers in the company via his X-Division work. The moment of Aries upsetting Roode to win the title delivered a massive pop and a rare feel good title change in TNA. Aries did a solid job as champion but didn’t get a long reign. The few months that he did hold the title things went very well until he lost it to Jeff Hardy in another excellent match. Aries defeating Roode is a moment that will be associated with the better memories of TNA.


5) EC3 - WWE dropped the ball with him as Derrick Bateman. His signing by TNA and new name of EC3 allowed him to showcase his personality. Carter instantly became the most entertaining performer in the company. TNA didn’t mess around and pushed him to the moon as one of the new stars to build the promotion around. EC3 defeated Kurt Angle to win the TNA World Championship for the first time. This was a huge moment for him as he rebounded from never getting a chance in the WWE to being the biggest star in TNA. Carter carried himself very well as a World Champion looking the part. Matt Hardy eventually defeated him twice to end both of his title reigns.


4) Aj Styles - No one is more synonymous with the better moments in TNA than A.J. Styles. The homegrown talent grew into one of the best wrestlers in the world and was quite frankly the face of TNA. Styles only held the TNA World Championship twice in his career showing how TNA dropped the ball with him. Despite that, both of his reigns felt right. Styles being the TNA World Champion felt like John Cena being the WWE World Champion. The visual just made sense and represented the company perfectly. Styles always gave his best effort and took pride in being the World Champion. It's a shame he did not have more reigns and did not stay in TNA for longer.

3) Sting - Sting tried his best to make the company grow. The legend held the TNA World Championship on four different occasions. Maybe TNA should have tried to build new stars with the title instead of continuously going back to Sting, but he provided a safety net of a credible name to attract casual fans. Sting delivered enough good matches and took pride in his work as the champion. If the WWE ever purchases the library of TNA’s content, Sting’s underrated run there will be remembered more fondly.

2) Bobby Roode - The first TNA World Championship win for Bobby Roode came in a completely different fashion than expected. Roode faced off with Kurt Angle at Bound for Glory 2011 as the determined face looking to accomplish his dream. Hulk Hogan publicly buried Roode and changed the finish for Angle to win. Angle lost it to James Storm days later. Roode turned heel by cheating to beat his best friend Storm to finally win the title. The delay was worth it with Roode’s character change being for the best. Roode blossomed into the best heel character in TNA history as the leader of the “selfish generation. “ Fans loathed Roode, but he had quite a few great matches during his title reign. TNA put the title on him again years later and he delivered another solid reign. His NXT tenure is adding new star power to Roode’s name, but his current legacy is as an all-time great TNA World Champion and it is why he is the It factor and so GLORIOUS!

1) Kurt Angle - Kurt Angle joined TNA in 2006 and spent a decade in the company which is longer than his wwe time prior to his return in wwe. His work ethic was inspiring. As a highly paid legend, Angle could have been lazy like Booker T or Rob Van Dam. Instead, he stepped up his game and kept up with the younger stars. Angle had classic title bouts against A.J. Styles, Samoa Joe and countless others. His record breaking six TNA World Championship reigns helped bring in new fans to the program. TNA could not hook the viewers, in but Angle did his job of adding credibility. Angle was actually the first official TNA World Champion when the company ditched the NWA Championship for a title under their own name. Angle had a legendary run in TNA and served as a great World Champion.

And that's the end of this list and my tna champions list, thanks for popping in and having a browse. Remember to come back for more every week!

STAY SHINY!

Top 10 TNA X Division Champions

Get ready to fly, as we enter the high flying risk taking and ground breaking x division stars and ten champions! 15 years ago the title was born and it's gone through a lot of designs and changes over the years but who are the top 10 champs?
10) Amazing Red - Once upon a time, the wrestling world was convinced that Amazing Red was going to be the new Rey Mysterio. Red won the TNA X Division Championship on three occasions, and he always carried the title with grace. His reigns weren't all that memorable, but he was unique in that he was a plucky underdog that was more than capable of getting everything done without relying solely on heart. Red's first X Division Championship run started in April 2003 when he dethroned the notoriously grumpy Kid Kash for the title, but he would hold the belt for just two weeks before dropping it to Chris Sabin. It would be a whole six years before he would hold the gold again, shocking the world in 2009 by defeating Samoa Joe, of all people, for the belt. Red's third and final reign came and went in the blink of an eye, as he picked up the strap from Jay Lethal at a live event in 2010 before losing it back to Lethal just two days later.


9) Petey Williams - Williams was the first man to give the X Division Championship something approaching a true identity in many ways. Having a finishing move as brutal as the Canadian Destroyer certainly helped and it helped both him, title and division out but sadly he only held the title two time but maybe when this list comes out he wins it again for now this list was done a month in advance so who knows.



8) Daniels - Make no mistake about it: Christopher Daniels is the most underrated professional wrestler in TNA's history and a 4 time x division champion. Heck, when all is said and done he will surely go down as one of the best never to perform in WWE. He was the glue in the rivalry which fuelled the famous unbreakable triple threat match between Joe, Aj and Daniels. 



7) Kaz - Kazarian has always been a fine hand in the ring, a credible opponent for anyone, and also an individual who works well regardless of their alignment, as comfortable as a face as they are a heel. Despite this, there always just seemed to be something missing with Kaz. He won the title five times but never had a career-defining run with the belt. Kazarian was never far away from the title picture and do not underestimate him or his reigns as champ. 



6) Low Ki/Senshi - I believe this was the guy who was champ when i first tuned into TNA all those years ago funny enough and he was the second tna x division champion. Low ki has legit been one of the best wrestlers outside wwe in the 21st century. He has won the x division championship five times and most of his title reigns were memorable. Guys like low ki and Aj styles made it a point to showcase the best wrestling on every ppv they were involved in. That concept still holds true in 2017 as his x division title match with sonjay dutt at slamiversary was the best match of the night. Personally, I like low ki cos of his adaptability. He wrestles a more mma style when wrestling against someone like Samoa Joe, a more technical style when he is wrestling someone like Austin Aries and a more highflying style when wrestling against someone like the amazing red. As good as he is, I think he is hugely underrated and deserves to be mentioned on the same plane as the AJ styles and Samoa joes of the world.



5) Samoa Joe - The X Division was long considered a division characterised by its total lack of limit and restrictions, and no champion embodied this more than the Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe. Joe was undefeated for ages after arriving in TNA in 2005, and it was in this same year that the X Division reached its peak thanks to the feud over the title that involved Joe, Christopher Daniels, and AJ Styles. 91 days after one of the greatest matches in TNA history (a 3-way with Daniels and Styles at Unbreakable), Samoa Joe won the X Division Championship for the first time by defeating AJ at Turning Point. Coincidentally, he would hold the title for 91 days himself, before losing it to Christopher Daniels in an Ultimate X match involving,  AJ Styles.



4) Jay Lethal - When Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair came in to the company in 2010 it seemed as though they took a shine to Black Machismo, and Lethal found himself in a number of marquee matches against some of the biggest names in the company. Lethal was an X Division Champion a long time before 2010 however, with his first title win coming in 2007 at Slammiversary. Lethal would go on to have six total reigns as champ, although three of those came in 2010 alone. Lethal’s constant caricature of Macho Man Randy Savage helped propel him and he even got his own Miss Elizabeth in the form of SoCal Val. Whenever Lethal was on TV, you know you were going to be entertained and after he moved on from ‘Black Machismo’ he became Ric Flair! One of the best segments in TNA history features Jay Lethal mimicking Ric Flair right to his face. A six-time X Division champion, Lethal could’ve been much more for TNA, but was still a terrific champion for the Division.



3) Aj Styles - AJ was the very first X Division Champion, overcoming Jerry Lynn, Psicosis, and Low-Ki at the second weekly TNA PPV to win the championship. He would go on to win the belt six times in total (joint second highest), with his reigns covering a total of 272 days. He is phenomenal and regarded a pioneer in the x division and i hope he gets more success in wwe. 



2) Austin Aires - Austin Aries has won the TNA X Division Championship on six different occasions, holding the belt for a cumulative 362 days. This puts him second on the all-time list for days as champion. Five of his reigns only amount to 61 days however, and it his first record-breaking reign that leads to the Greatest Man That Ever Lived featuring here at number four. On 11 September 2011, Austin Aries defeated Brian Kendrick at No Surrender to win the title for the very first time. He would go on to hold the belt for an impressive 301 days, far and away the longest individual reign in the history of the belt. To put that into perspective, no other reign lasted more than 199 days. Aries didn't even lose the belt. Instead, he cashed it in when TNA introduced 'Option C' in 2012, and he went on to defeat Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship at Destination X. Aries had a second chance with Option C in 2014, but came up short that year against Lashley. I hope since his WWE release he can return to TNA soon. 



1) Chris Sabin - No one has held the X Division more times or for longer than Chris Sabin. Sabin won the title no less than eight times, the first of which came way back in 2003 when he won a 3 way dance that also included then champion Amazing Red and Jerry Lynn. Interestingly enough, Sabin's won many titles from the 3 way dance or triple threat matches.  Sabin's perhaps finest moment with the X Division Championship came in 2013, however. After winning the title in yet another 3-way, Sabin instantly cashed it in for a shot at then-TNA World Heavyweight Champion Bully Ray. Sabin went on to win the title, thanks in part to the Main Event Mafia and Aces & Eights' hammer. After losing the world title Sabin would win the X Division belt two more times, including an Ultimate X win at Bound for Glory in 2013. Along with his eight reigns and 432 days as champion, Sabin is way ahead of the pack when it comes to Ultimate X appearances as he has a record 17 appearances. 



Ok thanks for popping in, remember to come back again for more!

Top 10 TNA Tag Team Champions

Just to say also this list will feature the titles and teams ranked from the start of the non nwa tna era just full blown TNA. So sadly some teams will not be on here like America's Most Wanted. Also a partner can not be in two different teams only one team with the partner can be on the list. 
10) Bad Influence - Kaz & Daniels two of the best wrestlers in the world and one of the world's greatest tag teams won the titles twice but that small number is nothing to be snorted at as they are a great team and had entertaining reigns. 


9) OVE - They are the current tna tag champs and i already love them, such a unique move set and look this team i hope continue to dominate and give us more great matches and title reigns as time goes by. 



8) Main Event Mafia - One of the most accomplished tag team stables in the world and they ruled tna for a short time winning all titles this one was won once by Scott Steiner and Booker T, if MEM went on longer i think they would have had more reigns. 



7) Motor City Machine Guns - Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are two of the best X-Division wrestlers TNA has ever had, but as a tag team, they were even better. The Motor City Machine Guns formed in 2007. Along with Jay Lethal, The Guns saved the entire division from extinction after beating Brother Ray, Brother Devon and Johnny Devine at against All Odds. The tag titles still eluded them, but eventually got their shot against Beer Money in a great best-of-five series in 2010. They came out on top and went on to have a six month run with the gold. It's a shame they did not get more runs with the tag titles. 



6) LAX - Be it the past or current line up of LAX this stable has always been dominant in tna. 2 time champs 260 combined days and they might get the titles back again soon, or maybe they already have, who know's this has been written in advance of October. 



5) Decay - The crazy style of a clown with the brute force of a monster accompanied by a demon assassin only means Decay have made this list. It's a dying shame their reign did not go longer or get more gold in their time in tna but oh well still a fave of mine. 



4) Team 3D - Upon their arrival, they immediately went to war with TNA’s long time tag team America’s Most Wanted, and defeated them in a tables match. While Team 3D had their ridiculous moments like the Electrified Six Sides of Steel match, and the Fish Market Street Fight, they gave a lot of credibility to the tag division, and to the company as a whole. Unlike some other former WWE and WCW wrestlers who joined TNA, Team 3D could still go in the ring, and was willing to put over younger talent during their time there. After four years together in the company, they decided to go their separate ways, and later entered the company’s Hall of Fame. They only held the titles two times but they were the first tag title holders in TNA. 


3) The Hardy's - These guys are tag gold in any company, winning the tag titles only twice in tna they should have went on with them much longer but things happen and if it was not for contract negotiations i bet the broken hardy's would still be champs today. 


2) The Wolves - This dynamic tag team debut in 2014 and won the tag titles for their first reign a month after joining they would go on to win the titles 5 times and have a combined reign length of 413 days, they would have had it longer if it was not for injuries they would sustain. 



1) Beer Money Inc - James Storm and Bobby Roode were two longtime veterans of TNA when they were suddenly paired up and boy did it work out...GLORIOUSLY! They started out as heels with Bobby Roode as the rich snob (Money), and James Storm, a guy that just enjoyed a good beer (Beer). Despite the goofy name, and vastly different personalities, they had a unique charisma, and became one of the most over acts in the Impact Zone. They held the tag titles 5 times but with 514 days combined making them the best here on my list and also longest reigning tag champs. If you disagree well sorry about your damn luck!


That's it for my list, thanks for stopping by, come back tomorrow for more!

Top 10 Tna Knockouts Champions

This title recently turned 10 years old and since its November To Remember month on my blog where i am covering wrestling all month! Next few days are dedicated to tna and today's list see's us walking down knockout lane!
10) Rosemary - As of writing she is the most recent knockout champion to be on this list. Rosemary is such a unique yet very interesting and diabolical and she captured my heart since her debut in the ring because her skills, look and moves are quite frankly impressive and i wish her reign lasted longer but hey oh, here we are now wishing the hive gets more gold. 


9) Velvet Sky - LET THE PIGEONS LOOSE! Oh yes Velvet Sky is a girl everyone should know along with her fellow beautiful people members. She has beauty and braun, she is wicked in the ring to boot. Velvet Sky is perhaps one of the most talented women that TNA have ever acquired. She is also attractive which also adds to the reason why WWE have wanted to sign her for the past few years. Velvet was part of The Beautiful People along with Angelina Love and Madison Rayne for many years. It was during this time that she became Knockout’s Tag Team Champion. She had a run with TNA that lasted almost a decade and saw her become a two-time Knockout’s Champion. She has been in some deeply personal feuds with the likes of Mickie James and Winter as well as briefly in a relationship with Chris Sabin. She was a firm fan favourite throughout her career but decided to leave the company back in 2016.



8) Brooke Tessmacher - I miss, Ms.Tessmacher she started as an assistant to Eric Bischoff but then let her hair down to become a 3 time KO Champ. Entertaining in the rings with beauty and grace she's a tough cookie also. Brooke Tessmacher has definitely changed a lot since her time with WWE and Extreme Expose. She made the switch over to TNA where it seems she was taken much more seriously. She is a former TNA Knockout’s Champion and TNA Knockout’s Tag Team Champion from her time teaming with fellow former WWE star Tara as TnT. 



7) Awesome Kong - The ground shakes as one of the most dominant forces enters the list. Yes it is AWESOME KONG! She is unreal and a 2 time KO Champion! Just raw strength no one has seen anyone like her and i miss her in tna. If her short and rather embarrassing run in WWE is forgotten, Kong has had a great wrestling career. Even though TNA dropped the ball with her during ODB’s Knockout’s title reign back in 2009, she was still given a lot of opportunities and when she left TNA back in 2010 she was a two-time Knockouts Champion. She did return to the company briefly in 2015 but was released from the company after an altercation with Reby Hardy during TNA’s UK tour the following year.



6) Mickie James - Oh Mickie you're so fine being here on my list. It's a surprise Mickie did not hold the title more times than the 3 time charmer did. She is as good as you expect still and she was kicking ass while making her country music debut. There is a reason WWE decided to resign Mickie James earlier this year. She is one of the best female wrestlers that WWE has ever had and she is the only female wrestler to have held the Women’s, Divas ,and Knockouts Championships. Mickie has proved herself in both top wrestling companies and has always risen to the top. While there was a lot of speculation regarding her release from WWE, she is still considered to be one of the best wrestlers on the circuit. Mickie is incredible in the ring and can deliver promos on the mic as well. She proved that she can work as a credible face and heel and has managed to do both successfully in both companies. She has recently signed a three-year deal with WWE, so hopefully, the company is much more creative with her this time around.



5) ODB - She's a no nonsense woman who wont back down from a fight and this is why she was a 4 time knocked up champion....in her words. ODB was unique. She was the kind of female who made no apologies for not acting or even looking like a female should. She was a beer drinking, monster truck driving Superstar and she rode that wave all the way to the TNA Knockout’s Championship. She was never going to be the greatest female wrestler of all time, but her addition to the roster gave a lot of other females hope. After training in OVW, she answered the call from TNA rather than wait for WWE and it is thought that she made the right decision. WWE wouldn’t know what to do with someone like ODB. At least TNA gave her a fair chance and proved that she did have a lot of talent despite the fact that she didn’t look or act like your typical female wrestler.



4) Tara - A 5 time champion Tara held the title for a combined length of 222 days! She managed to win the Knockouts Championship in TNA and even feuded with former WWE rival Mickie James after she joined the brand. Tara was the perfect heel when it came to helping any babyface build on their character and was one of the backbones of the company for a very long time until her release. The current Knockouts Division are missing someone like Tara.



3) Madison Rayne - The 5 time champion with 404 days held with the title. Any wrestling fan who is asked to name a TNA Knockout will probably say Madison Rayne or Angelina Love or even Velvet Sky because all three were part of The Beautiful People, a team that took over TNA and helped Madison rise to fame. Over the past eight years, she has managed to become a TNA Knockout’s Champion five times and a Tag Team Knockout’s Champion as well. She was also the first person to hold both titles simultaneously. Madison is a fan favourite, but she has become one of the biggest stars in TNA throughout her career. Her matches were always solid and she always played her character to perfection. Madison has helped the Knockout’s Division as much as Kim has over the past few years and her accomplishments pretty much speak for themselves.



2) Angelina Love - Tying with the number one spot if the 6 time champion Angelina Love! She is a record tying (along with Gail Kim) six-time Knockout’s Champion and one of the faces of Impact’s Knockout’s Division. Her time with The Beautiful People established her heel character and proved that she is a great character wrestler. 



1) Gail Kim - A staggering 6 time (as of writing) KO champion with a combined title reign of 710 days it is the girl who keeps switching sides Gail Kim! Why did i say the girl who keeps switching sides? Well she has jumped wwe to tna back and fore a few times. She is credited as being the women who made the Knockout’s Division as popular and successful as it was a few years ago. Gail has feuded with the likes of Tara, Velvet Sky, Brooke Tessmacher, and ODB over the past few years and has been part of TNA’s best female matches over the past decade. She is a record setting six-time Knockout’s Champion and is widely considered to be the best female wrestler in the world. Gail became the first ever female inductee in the TNA Hall of Fame back in 2016 and after taking some time away from TNA she returned in January 2017 and by the time this list emerges she could well be a 7 time Knockout Champion! 


Alright, thanks for stopping by and seeing my list today, come back again soon for more!

Top 10 Triple H Moments

BOW DOWN TO THE, BOW DOWN TO THE KING! It's time to play the game with today's list which features Triple H and his top 10 moments! 
10) The Authority - Face it, no matter what role Triple H plays be it good guy or bad guy he plays them both well. Authority HHH is possibly the most hated version of The Game but i could be wrong. This run lasted 3 years and all started when Trips screwed Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013. Lead by power couple Steph and Triple H, "The Man" Seth Rollins, "Director Of Operations" Corporate Kane and Randy Orton, they were also joined later by a returning "Animal" Batista. They set out to make Bryan's life hell and anyone else who stood in their way. 

9) Return Of DX - Reforming back in 2006 but only starring Triple H and Shawn Micheal's the duo enjoyed a hell of a return to top form dominating the company in and out of the ring. Their feuds and comedic humour got them to gold and cemented the team in wwe history yet again.   

8) EVOLUTION - Evolution is a mystery, full of change no one see's, as the song goes. This villainous stable has the likes of HHH, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista all world champions. The group dominated whenever they were around both as 4 man team and a 3 man team later on. Evolution's devolution was so fun and exciting to watch and it started so many more good moments for everyone involved. 

7) First WWE Championship Win - It was this moment which made Triple H reach the top of the business. Took him years to do it and he would have done it sooner if it was not for a little friendly hug among friends which wwe did not like and so they sent Triple H back to the stone age career wise but he fought on and it all defined him in the end boosting his career. One night after SummerSlam, Triple H defeated Mankind for his first-ever reign as WWE Champion. 

6) HHH Betrays HBK - The best friendship in the WWE for years between Triple H and HBK was so great so imagine how it was and how it felt to see their friendship get ripped apart, pedigree'd and bashed with a sledgehammer. Triple H betrayed his friend on the July 29th, 2002 edition of RAW when he smashed Michael's’ face through a car window.  He said he did this to prove that Michael's was “weak” and that his coming back to the WWE was a mistake. This proved to the WWE Universe that Triple H was indeed “The Cerebral Assassin.” and their feud would go on to be one of the best in history. 

5) The Two Man Power Trip - Triple H is a hard man to trust but when you can trust him well you have got a serious dominant guy on your side and you are about to form a badass tough as nails team just like this one. On April 2nd, 2001, Triple H interfered in the main event Steel Cage Match between new WWE Champion Steve Austin and The Rock. It seemed on the surface that he was going to turn on Austin, but Triple H stunned the wrestling world by aiding Austin in the double team against The Rock. “The Two Man Power Trip” was born.  In the subsequent months, Austin and Triple H captured all the major titles in the WWE and were one of the most dominant tag teams in history.

4) Undisputed Game - After almost an entire year on the shelf due to injury, Triple H showed no ring rust when he returned to the WWE.  “The King of Kings” defeated and dethroned then-champion Chris Jericho for the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania XVIII, the grandest stage of them all. This is a moment that many wrestling fans remember as one of Triple H’s finest.

3) Return After Injury - So about the last one this return was amazing the pop everything about it just wow. May 21st, 2001, Triple H had suffered a career-threatening injury, and many wrestling fans thought it would have been his last match.  In the main event, it was Triple H and Steve Austin vs. Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit for the WWE Tag Team Championship.  Triple H attempted to help his tag team partner when he suffered the injury. Eight long months passed, and Triple H came back to WWE RAW on January 7th, 2002.  Sporting a leather jacket, denim vest and jeans, Triple H headed for the ring and was greeted by tens of thousands of screaming fans at the home of the WWE: Madison Square Garden.  It had been a long wait, but Triple H had returned to the WWE to pick up where he left off in his legendary career.

2) The Formation Of DX - Triple H was on the fast track to becoming a household name in the WWE.  With the help of Shawn Michaels, he formed one of the most controversial stables of all time: Degeneration X. Triple H, along with Chyna, appeared at the end of the main event of RAW is WAR on August 11th, 1997 to aid Shawn Michaels in taking out Mankind.  DX had arrived in the WWE, thanks in part to Triple H. After the night after WrestleMania XIV, Shawn Michaels had been defeated by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and a new era for the “Texas Rattlesnake” was just beginning. Triple H stated to the WWE Universe that Michaels had “dropped the ball” and essentially kicked him out of DX forever. Triple H became the new leader of DX.  He brought former WCW Superstar Sean “X-Pac” Waltman and the New Age Outlaws into the ranks of DX.  This would indeed be a brighter day for DX, and Triple H was captain of this new ship.

1) Becoming A King - Triple H has had so many amazing moments and matches and so it was tough to put a number to these and make a list of my 10 fave moments but here we are at number one. When Triple H was known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, he was a mid-card wrestler that had been in some less-than-stellar feuds.  But all that was forgotten when he won the 1997 King of the Ring Tournament, defeating Mankind in the finals. For Triple H, having a King of the Ring win under his belt made him instant championship material, and he was on his way to proving that in the WWE. This was the start of everything for HHH.

Thanks for popping in today, now go on and move along you degenerate and evolve to become a king!

Top 10 The Rock Moments

IF YA SA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLL-LA WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN!? Yes but this time what is this list cookin? What am i cooking? A list of the top 10 best Rock moments :)
10) The Debut - Hard to believe the great one debut back in 1996 survivor series but he was not the great one back then. He was Rocky Mavia a third generation superstar. Rocky Maivia teamed with Barry Windham, Marc Mero and Jake Roberts to battled the hated Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Goldust and Crush in one of the more intriguing matches of the night. The presence of this young athlete who had so many in the industry buzzing. On his first night of televised action, Maivia took the fight to his opponents and, at a two-on-one numbers disadvantage, fought through Goldust and Crush's onslaught to win the match for his team. Little did fans know at the time, but they had just witnessed the arrival of a Superstar who would one day cross over into the world of Hollywood and become the film industry's biggest star, leaving the wrestling industry in a far better state than he had found it.

9) The Corporation - It was led by the McMahon family and was characterised by an authoritarian and corrupt attitude towards more rebellious wrestlers. The Corporation existed throughout 1998 and 1999 and feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, D-Generation X (DX), The Union, and The Ministry of Darkness, eventually merging with the latter and forming The Corporate Ministry.  The Rock, was The Corporation's proclaimed "Crown Jewel" (and whom they helped win the WWF Championship at Survivor Series), holding the WWF Championship three times while part of the group. 

8) Rock Vs Cena - After eight years away from the squared circle, The Rock returned from Hollywood for a match with John Cena dubbed "Once in a Lifetime." but of course it happened twice. Fan anticipation was off the charts, as members of the audience split into teams as if they were bearing witness to the WWE equivalent of the Twilight films. Some were Team Cena. Others were Team Rock. But all were invested in the biggest WrestleMania main event in years. The Superstars did not disappoint. Cena and Rock delivered a main event fitting the occasion. 

7) Rock Vs Hulk Hogan - The staredown between The Rock and Hulk Hogan at the beginning of their WrestleMania X8 classic is the stuff of legend, a goosebump-inducing moment that instantly portrayed to fans the enormity of the match. The leader of one generation was standing mere feet from the figurehead of another, ready to do battle for nothing more than bragging rights and personal pride. Rock earned his "Icon" status in this match!

6) Rock V HHH - The Rock and Triple H have careers that are indelibly linked. Their respective rises to the top of wrestling paralleled one another and they faced each other every step of the way and it's been so electrifying. It would be cool to have one last match between the two at wrestlemania.

5) This Is Your Life - With the largest television rating in WWE Raw history, Mankind's tribute to his friend and tag team partner featured quality performances from the Superstars. For that reason, and its viewership, the segment remains one of the most memorable of either man's career.

4)  - Half Time Heat - The beginning of 1999 saw a red-hot, brutal and violent rivalry between The Rock and Mankind over the WWE Championship engulf the company and captivate the fans. During the halftime show of SuperBowl XXXIII, the Superstars would meet in the first-ever Empty Arena match for what WWE called Halftime Heat. With no one else in the building, the Superstars would have free rein to beat the hell out of each other until one man emerged victorious, the undisputed champion. The match that ensued was a chaotic brawl that featured Vince McMahon on commentary and saw the Superstars fight from the squared circle, into the stands, through the backstage area, into the catering area and, finally, to the receiving dock in the back of the building. Rock may have lost, but his contribution to the most outrageous match of the Attitude Era was undeniable.

3) Nation Of Domination  - Rock was intercontinental champion for most of the time he spent with Nation. As part of his heel turn, Rocky Maivia shortened and changed his ring name to The Rock. On the March 30, 1998 episode of Raw Is War, the night after WrestleMania XIV, The Rock went on to usurp leadership of the Nation from Faarooq, at which point the group permanently dropped "of Domination" from its name and its militant focus. Instead, The Rock's gimmick spread throughout the faction with Nation members taking on considerably more hip characters, the most notable being Kama Mustafa's transformation into The Godfather, D'Lo Brown's "bobble-head" and strut, and a new hip version of the group's entrance theme, that would become associated with The Rock's character and be remixed over and over during the years to become his current theme. The Nation's primary focus by now was that The Rock retained the Intercontinental title "by any means necessary", which was the group's motto. 

2) Rock N Sock Connection - Mankind has been mentioned twice on the list so far but here we see the two not fighting but on the same page ok they had some fights too but it was an highly entertaining tag team. I mentioned this team more over on the top 10 wwe tag champions so go there to read a bit more. 

1) Rock V Austin - The feud between the Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is undoubtedly one of the best in WWE history. They had multiple hard fought matches, and a series of intriguing storylines to help polish both of their careers. Their feud drew money, and was a top investment. So much, that they competed against each other at three Wrestlemanias: 15, 17 and 19. The Rock lost his matches at Wrestlemania 15 and 17. However, the Rock wanted one more chance to prove that he can cure the Kryptonite of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. At Wrestlemania 19, he achieved one of the greatest moments of his career in one of the greatest matches of his career defeating Steve Austin.

So now that you have gone one on one with the great one's list you will need to come by again soon for more lists and fun with me! Thanks for stopping by!

Top 10 Stone Cold Steve Austin Moments

IF YOU WANT TO SEE ME DO A LIST ON STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN GIVE ME A HELL YEAH! Was that a hell yeah? Good so let's crack open some Steveweisers and get to the bottom line!
10) The Grocery Store Brawl - This moment is memorable and hilarious looking back at it. It all started after Booker cost Austin the undisputed title at Vengeance and Booker T quickly realised he fucked up more or less and was on the run from the rattlesnake but he could not escape his bite.

9) Austin Helps Mankind Win The WWF Title AKA The Pop Heard Around The World - Back in 1999 The Rock aligned with the Corporation and they were against Mankind at the time. Rock Vs Mankind took place with Mankind as the ultimate underdog and no one thought that he had a chance to achieve victory. Stone Cold‘s alliance with DX helped keep McMahon’s gang out of the way as Austin hit The Rock with a steel chair in order to ensure Mankind’s victory. The badass wrestler who didn’t trust anybody came in to save the day and show that anyone can be a champion. WCW funny enough leaked the results of this match thinking wwf would lose viewers but 600,000 people turned off from wcw and into WWF to see Mr's Foley's Baby Boy win the big one! 

8) The Beer Bath - This badass moment occurred during before Mankind won his championship match against The Rock. The Rock taunted Mankind in front of the crowd and then suddenly Stone Cold showed up in a Coors Light beer truck and drove through the stage entrance in order to get to the ring. It was so badass that it will never happen again. 

7) Austin V Owen - At Summerslam 97, Austin was set to face off against Owen Hart for the Intercontinental Title with the added stipulation of Austin having to kiss Hart’s ass if he were to lose. Unfortunately, Austin would suffer a broken neck after a botched piledriver from Hart, but would still go on to win the match and the title. Austin would eventually have to relinquish the title along with the tag championship, but would continue to stay on screen in order to keep his momentum in the Hart feud going. He would return at Survivor Series of that year and would defeat Hart to again win the Intercontinental Title and a slew of new fans by showing a level of toughness rarely seen in wrestling. While the injury ultimately shortened Austin’s career, the time away from the ring allowed Austin to grow as an on-screen performer, perhaps even more so than when he was wrestling.

6) Austin V Bret - Austin was just starting to shine in his stone cold gimmick at the time this feud was happening. Austin and Hart was the rivalry that kicked off what would eventually be known as the Attitude Era. After Hart's comeback at Survivor Series in November 1996, the two grapplers continued their rivalry into early 1997. This match had it all: the biggest star in the WWF, the fastest rising star in the WWF, and one of the most successful UFC fighters of the era. Add in the notoriously vocal Chicago wrestling audience, and you just knew this was going to be something special. The ending of the match marked a major turning point for the future of the company. Austin and Hart pulled a double switch where the heel Austin officially became the company's top babyface, and the long time babyface Hart became the company's top heel. It was done masterfully, as Bret synched in his Sharpshooter while the tough Texas Rattlesnake refused to submit. The iconic images of a bloodied Austin attempting to power out of the Sharpshooter are well known, but in the end Austin could not get out as he passed out from blood loss. Shamrock stopped the match, raising Hart's hand in victory, but the audience was most impressed with the fact that Austin was so tough that he would pass out before he would submit. Hart's heel turn occurred when he did the lowest thing one could do at this point: he kicked the passed out Austin while he was down. As Hart left the Rosemont Horizon to a chorus of boos, Austin exited to cheers when he walked out under his own power, refusing any assistance from officials. This marked the start of Austin's run as the company's top babyface, a run that would carry the company to unparalleled heights in the coming years.

5) Austin & Tyson - What happens when the baddest man in sports entertainment meets the baddest man on the planet? A unforgettable moment will occur. Austin would flip Tyson the bird, and a brawl between the two erupted, giving way to chaos. The moment would kick off a monumental road to WrestleMania that saw increased media attention and the hottest story line the company had created for its signature event in years much of which could be credited to Austin's gruff exterior and take-no-prisoner personality.

4) The First McMahon Stunner - The stunner that kicked off the authority hatin' hell raising side and era of the rattlesnake kicked off when this hit Vince. It was not a particularly good stunner but as i said it kicked off a hell of a memorable rivalry and made wwe history. 

3) Austin V Rock - I can't put just one moment of their monumental rivalry on this list so i have to list it as one full item and the clinics the guys put on be it promos, single matches on raw, or big fights at wrestlemania, both men helped bring each other to the top and make a big money fight one of the best rivalries in all of sports entertainment happen!

2) Austin V McMahon - What can you say about their rivalry it was just like number 3 a monumental one and so entertaining and just so good and gripping it made good tv and it made history! I don't honestly know what else to say because everyone knows this rivalry and it is and was amazing!

1) Austin 3:16 Promo - This promo kicked off everything that is good and holy in the WWE, that being the Attitude Era! This promo took Austin to new heights and the WWF into a new direction and it was well needed and it's still one hell of a moment!

And that's the bottom line! Thanks for stopping by and reading this list! Stay tuned and book mark and stop by again for more!

Top 10 Undertaker Moments

DEAD MAN WALKING! It's going down, have i gone and made a big mistake nope The Undertaker is my all time favourite wrestler and i thought since i did a list on Kane yesterday it would be fitting to do one on The Phenom today! So get back in your casket and let's relax while we have our last rites read. 
10) First WWE Title Win 1991 Survivor Series - One year after The Undertaker's debut, he became the youngest (at the time) WWE Champion of all time in 1991 when he took home his first championship after beating Hulk Hogan at the 1991 Survivor Series. He needed the help of distractions by both Ric Flair and his manager Paul Bearer, and the help of a well-placed steel chair, but he was able to take down the biggest icon in pro wrestling for the championship. 

9) Forming The Brothers Of Destruction - Just like on his brother Kane's list, anytime the duo teamed up and were on the same page it was amazing and just a powerful force no one could beat. I can't pick any moments in particular so i picked it as one. 

8) Ministry Of Darkness - The Ministry of Darkness era had a lot of fun, memorable moments, but the best moment had to be when the Undertaker kidnapped Stone Cold Steve Austin from his hospital room with every intention of sacrificing the Texas Rattlesnake. Luckily Kane stopped the sacrifice before it was too late.

7) Casket Match With Yokozuna - The Undertaker was an unstoppable force leading into the 1994 Royal Rumble and in an early casket match against Yokozuna it took over ten men to finally bring down the Undertaker and slam the casket shut on the Phenom. What followed was one of the more memorable, and cheesy, moments in the Undertaker's career where he claimed he would "not rest in peace" and ascended into the rafters of the arena.

6) The Phenom Returns - The Undertaker had a four-year run in the biker gimmick of the American Badass, but at the 2003 Survivor Series he was buried alive by his brother Kane in a buried alive match. Kane claimed the Undertaker was "dead and buried forever." But soon after the all-too-familiar presence of the Undertaker began to haunt his brother Kane. In the 2004 Royal Rumble, Kane was eliminated after losing focus following the chime of the Undertaker's bell. This all culminated in the return of the Dead Man persona at WrestleMania XX, and yet another win in the streak for the Undertaker.

5) American Badass - The most human of Undertaker gimmicks for the dead man. After eight months time-off due to real-life injuries, the Undertaker made his long-awaited return at Judgment Day in May 2000. However, the days of pitch black, blue fog and church organ music entrances were gone. The Undertaker was now The "American Bad Ass" (termed by the Kid Rock song which was his entrance music during the early months of the persona, later to be changed to "Rollin'" by Limp Bizkit) biker complete with sunglasses, bandana, jean shirt and motorcycle. The Badass allowed everyone to see a new side of the Undertaker. While still one of the most dominant forces in the WWF, he appeared human, introducing the world to his wife Sara and speaking as a normal human being. Also, the character began to Take more moves from opponents, making him appear more vulnerable. I also loved the Big Evil transformation for the deadman also. 

4) Taker Vs Kane - This feud had it all, drama, action, wrestling, horror, family, death and history and goes down in history for me as one of the best rivalry's made. Their match at WM 14 was amazing and still is to me. 

3) The Streak - Lays at rest at 23-2 and man what a streak the phenom's was it is still sad Lesner and Reigns beat him at mania. Taker's streak started against Snuka in 1991 and since then Taker has beaten the likes of HBK,HHH,Kane, Jake Roberts, Diesel, Ric Flair, Batista, Randy Orton, Edge and Cm Punk to name but a few. 

2) Debut - Crazy to believe it was like 27 years ago that Taker first arrived to the WWE. Undertaker's debut at the 1990 Survivor Series is still a memorable one. It's rare that a superstar gets a debut at a PPV and the Undertaker took every advantage of the opportunity. The Undertaker held his own against a team that included Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, Koko B. Ware and Dusty Rhodes, eliminating Koko and Dusty before being counted out after taking the fight with Rhodes to the outside. Although he didn't end up winning the match, his presence was felt and a character was born that would redefine the WWE.

1) Taker Vs Mankind Hell In A Cell - When people look back at the Attitude Era or history of Hell In A Cell, this match is always one of the first things brought up in the conversation. This legendary Hell in a Cell match was made famous for the two falls that Mick Foley took off and through the cell. The wrestling included a choke slam onto thumb tacks and a final tombstone that finally ended the match for the Undertaker. This may be more of a Mankind moment, but you can't make a top-ten list of the Undertaker without mentioning this match.

Alright and now let us rest in peace and i will see you tomorrow for another list, thanks for stopping by. Bookmark, share and comment!

Top 10 Kane Best Moments (BONUS WORST MOMENTS ALSO)

BAH GAWD IT'S, GOTTA BE KANE! Yes it is the big red machine, the big red monster and the devil's favourite demon well that's how i think of Kane and not being the lame guy he became following the hugging with Bryan and when he went corporate. To celebrate 20 years of this monster let us look at the ten of the best moments Kane had according to me. #20YearsOfKane 

10) Kane wins the big gold! - This happened in the time i was moving away from WWE where i only watched TNA or ROH but it was a huge success and i was happy to hear that he won the big one. 

9) Kane Eliminates 11 at Royal Rumble 2001 - Kane held a record in the Royal Rumble ppv's for more than a decade it was only recently bested by Roman Reigns (sad times). 

8) Kane & Xpac - This friendship turned rivalry was great and done the two wonders i'd say, it was entertaining and pretty gripping. You feel sorry for Kane having no friends and he decides to save this small guy and the two form an unthinkable bond and the two become champs and then they turn on one another more or less and so ends a great team but starts a great feud elevating Kane further up. 

7) Kane's "Wrestlemania Moment" - A lot of people say that Kane beating Chavo for the ECW title in 8 seconds was Kane's big wrestlemania moment. It might have been one of but i think number 2 on this list was better. 

6) Kane Conquers All - By this i refer to the time Kane was in a 7 Man Tag Title TLC Match. In 2002, Kane was practically on fire. He had the WWE fans behind him and he was coming off as a true champion. He had won the Intercontinental Champion and he also held the Tag Titles. Originally supposed to be an 8 man TLC match, Kane's tag team partner, The Hurricane was attacked by Triple H earlier in the show and Kane had to defend his tag titles alone against Jericho, Christian, RVD, Jeff Hardy, Bubba and Spike. Even at such odds, the outcome of the match: 6  bodies lying in and around the ring and Kane standing up high signalling his pyro with the tag titles in his hand.

5) Kane sets JR on fire! - Yes this is on my list, it's one of the most controversial and most talked about moments in wwe and in Kane's career to this day. 

4) The Brothers Of Destruction - Face it anytime the Undertaker and Kane teamed up is on this list and here they are together at number four. Fire & Fury these two dominate all others. 

3) Kane Unmasks - Yes this moment is one of the most iconic of the big red machine, for years fans pondered what he looked like under the mask and when it happened e got to see not a disfigured man but a normal man well normal-ish? It was an odd one and some point to this being the end of Kane or the downward spiral of him.

2) WM 14 Vs Undertaker - Hell of a match, one of my faves i just love their rivalry and showdown here in this match two of my faves head to head.

1) Debut - Of course this is first place, the first time i seen him was this time and it was insane this big red guy comes to the ring with Paul Bearer and rips of the cage door, stands face to face with Taker and destroys him and leaves.


AS A BONUS HERE IS A LIST OF HIS WORSE MOMENTS: Kane Marries Lita, Kane anger management, Corporate Kane, Concession Kane, Katie Vick and Kane, Feuding over Coffee, May 19th, His ability to speak perfectly,his dancing and most of his Team Hell No time. 

So this concludes my list of Kane's best moments and the bonus Worse Moments and i hope you have enjoyed this list and visiting my blog, for more bookmark and pop back every week! 

SEE YOU SOON, STAY SHINY!

Top 10 WWE Champions

Here it is my final top 10 WWE champions list. I used to love the attitude title but then after that went the titles value in my eyes diminished and went on to be paraded as a children's toy which can spin although cool as it was you cant take a champion seriously with it. However the title has been kinda deactivated since the brand split and we now have Universal Championship title belt on RAW which i consider is the new WWE title but anyway, let's get into my top 10!

10) Cm Punk
The straight edge superstar held onto the wwe title for 434 days straight marking the longest modern reign of the title and he made the title relevant again and he was highly electrifying like another superstar on this list and the fact he is not in WWE anymore and fans still chant for Punk is something special, no one else in my mind has had this power of the WWE fans certainly in the modern era. Punk made the title matter and proved he is the best in the world but he's not number 1 on this list sadly but it does not take away the fact he is on my list and he is one of the greats. 

9) Bruno Sanmartino
The living legend himself amassed a total of  4,040 days as champion over the course of his 2 title reigns. Longest reigning champ in history. For that the Hall Of Famer is a legend and deserves to be on any list regarding the wwe title regardless of if you have seen him in action or not. 

8) Kurt Angle
This entry is gold and not just for winning the wwf title or wwe undisputed title but for winning an olympic gold medal with a broken freakin neck! 4 reigns and 300 days as champ Kurt is on this list for all this and for his amazing wrestling in ring style, he is a great technician of the squared circle and for all this and then some he is here at 8. 

7) Brock Lesner
THE BEAST BRRRRRRRROCK LEEEEEEEEEEESNEEEER! Alright this guy annoys me and angers me and all i have to say about him is negative but god damn it he is a tough s.o.b and i won't deny he deserves a place on any wwe championship list even if he is an annoying part timer who gets everything given to him for doing half the work most of the roster in wwe today does. 4 reigns and 579 days combined and is as of writing the universal champion currently and maybe he will be SD live's champion too if this Mahal v Lesner rumours are anything to go by.

6) Stone Cold Steve Austin
*GLASS SHATTERS* It's the rattlesnake himself! STONE COLD, STONE COLD! Yes at number 6 comes this tough no nonsense s.o.b. with 6 reigns and 530 combined days he has held the title this man is one of many we have to thank wwe for, if it was not for any star of wwf attitude era wwe would have been vanquished long ago. Austin is highly entertaining on the mic and in the ring and his career proves why he is on my list and why he has gone down as one of the best in wrestling history. 

5) Hulk Hogan
WHAT-CHA GONNA GO WHEN HULK HOGAN AND THE TWENTY THOUSAND HULK-A-MANIACS RUN WILD ON YOU BROTHER!? Well you are probably gonna be like woah it's the Hulkster at number 5 in this list, that's odd? Maybe its odd to some and to others its not but hey the Hulkster is a pop culture icon and has done a lot for wrestling to get it mainstream and to get more fans for the business and the Hulkster is one of the first wrestlers who went into the film industry and made a mark there also. Although Hulk's style to the wrestling audience of today is outdated and boring back in the day its what captivated fans and got the Hulkster to his fame and his 6 title reigns with combined days of 2,185!

4) The Rock
IF YA SA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL-LALALALALAL-AH! WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN! To this day i'm not really sure what he is cooking but i bet it's pies as The Rock certainly loves his pies and he also loves kicking some jabroni candy asses! The Rock also loves the millions and millions of Rock fans and his electrifying attitude is what got him to hollywood and to his 378 days reigned as an 8 time wwe champion! The man is a gold star! Now The Rock want's to know what you think of him so please tell me.......IT DOES'NT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! The Rock is on this list and The Rock is one of the greats!

3) HHH
TIME TO PLAY THE GAME! At number 3 stands the COO and the headrunner of NXT and the cerebral assassin, the king of kings, the game, TRIPLEEEEE H! With 9 title reigns of this title and combined days held at 610 there is a reason why he is on her and why he is called The Game. HHH's career has been a very special one, it started with him being the pureblood newbie who came in all posh and dapper he liked to work out and gave wrestling a go and he was a rising terror (you like that reference?) til one day he and his friends shared a hug at the end of the show which then pushed him back to the bottom (it's stupid i know) but then he came back and dominated with his own team DX and took the world by storm and invaded WCW on a tank and his popularity went up and up and the titles were piling in and so then friendships went south he went on his own, married the boss's daughter and rose further and further up the ladder and to where he is now a king of the mountain in the wwe.

2) Randy Orton
The Viper has slithered past all the others to get to here why? He is a 9 time champ with 660 days held combined as champ. Randy's voices in his head seem to be saying win titles and feud with Cena because it's all he has done in WWE mainly and i don't say it as a bad thing all Randy does has been good, he's a second generation superstar and he deserves his popularity and to be here on this list!

1) John Cena
THE CHAMP IS HERE! Yep at number one comes the guy who has been WWE champion for a large majority of my life and of the time i have watched wrestling none other than John Cena! He has held the wwe title 13 times and for a combined 1,257 days! Say what you want about him but the man deserves respect and you know i used to be a big fan of Cena back in the day i'm not so much now but i still respect the guy.

And that my metallic nation is the end of my championship reign in wwe top 10 champions.
