Top 10 AEW Males 2023

It is time for me to give you 10 of my fave male AEW talents from 2023. This and the Female AEW list were requested, and so here I am to deliver. Enjoy!
10: Mark Briscoe
After the tragic passing of his brother Jay, Mark Briscoe has stepped up and ensured the legacy of Jay carries on and stays strong, with Mark carrying on. He's a great performer and entertainer and has had amazing matches and moments this year. 

9: Jay White
The bang bang gang's leader makes my list after being so entertaining and hard-working, Jay White is one of the best talents on the planet and no doubt in time he will be on the mountain top. 

8: Eddie Kingston
Eddie Kingston is finally getting the gold and recognition after all this time, the dude puts on a hell of a performance and makes everything blurred feeling so real. He's a hell of a guy and after winning the ROH world title he is here on the list. 

7: Daniel Garcia
The pro wrestler and dragon slayer dances his way onto the list, he's a tough cookie, and he continues to walk the line of sports entertainer and pro wrestler.

6: Christian
Silence for our Father figure is here haaha yes, Christian has certainly made the rounds and improved himself to extraordinary levels this year, all by adopting some young talent with no dads and being the ultimate villain. 

5: Samoa Joe
The most dominant ROH tv champ in history is here, I have loved Joe for years and this year he's had a great push and even if it was weird for him to drop his roh title just to fight max one more time, it's also cool because he's a shark in a small tank, and he wants to go eat bigger prey. 

4: John Moxley
No list would be complete without the Mox himself, Honestly every top 10 AEW talent list should always include Mox somewhere, he is an absolute unit!

3: Orange Cassidy
The careless fighting champion who is freshly squeezed, he has held the international title twice and defended it for 326 days and that equals over 30 opponents! He has worked effortlessly defending his title and being banged up and then coming back healed after losing his title only to win it back, and he's still defending it as of writing haha. 

2: Swerve Strickland
Top rope catch a vibe, because I swerve when I drive! WHO'S HOUSE?! SWERVE'S HOUSE! So his feud's have been incredible and Swerve continues to improve and build and get bigger and bigger with each time he sets foot in any arena. His recent Hangman feud was insane, and their death match was a mega contender for match of the year, there's no way to not have Swerve anywhere else on my list than right here. I can't wait for him to go beef it up with MJF.

1: MJF
He's our Scumbag, and he is number 1 here on my list. What can we say about Max? He's a megastar, hard-working, great moves, stories and promos' that hit out of this world. Max holds the longest aew world title reign and his character is ever evolving and so layered and his stories and feuds this year has been outstanding, and I can't wait for more. 

That concludes my AEW lists, thanks for visiting my blog and reading these posts :)
Stay shiny!

Top 10 AEW Females 2023

Aew has a stacked roster and I was recently asked about who are my fave female wrestlers in AEW, 
So here are my top 10 of this year :)
10: Jade Cargill
The longest reigning TBS champ and also with a long reigning undefeated streak, Jade left AEW earlier this year for new pastures and no doubt she will be an even bigger success.

9: D.M.D. Britt Baker
Of course, I will put Britt on my list, she is an exceptional talent, and although we have seen less of her the past few months, she certainly is a staple in AEW.

8: Taya Valkyrie
Although Taya has been around for years and a fave of mine since appearing in TNA, she has gone to AEW this year and made a nice impact....no pun intended.

7: Skye Blue
A new talent that first emerged full of smiles and with lots of internet love for her *ahem* "asset" but since feuding with Julia Hart she has been getting darker and more violent and rocks a new look at the moment. A great athlete and even more mysterious gimmick.

6: Willow Nightingale
Another relatively new talent, Willow has exploded on the scene with her bold yet friendly nature and loveable smile and personality, I am happy enough to list her here as she has impressed me throughout her time.

5: Saraya
Saraya had an amazing moment this year in AEW ALL IN London unfortunately it was not capitalized up on. She still has it and is a draw.

4: Hikaru Shida
Shida is always a phenomenal talent, and she always deserves to be on any AEW womens list.

3: Kris Statlander
Since returning from injury and beating the undefeated TBS champ, Kris has been on fire and keeps getting better with each defence.

2: Julia Hart
A cheerleader turned into a dark and gothic, mysterious force of nature with The House Of Black. I am happy she won the TBS title recently, she has been built up so well and gets better and better every week. She is also AEW's youngest champion in history at just 22 years old.

1:Toni Storm
It's Toni's world, and we are clearly living in it. The descent into her madness and Hollywood stardom has been incredible, and in a short time she has run up 3 title reigns as AEW women's champ.

That is my list all done, look out for my top 10 tag teams and AEW Male Wrestlers lists, both coming out soon! Thanks for reading and visiting, Stay Shiny!

Late Night Ramblin's Vol9- Life October 2023

So it's been a while (again)......in my absence however my blog views have somehow increased? 
Thank you! Seriously thanks so much for that, it means a lot.

James Davie is who I have to also thank as he reminds me when I have not done a blog post in a while. Comments like that tend to snap me back to reality and shift my focus, so I am here to write a little bit about what's going on right now. Random Ramblin's? Maybe but this is another life update after all so who knows what I will title this when I am done and of course I'm putting this together through the day and night.

I've been busy with my two jobs as well as content creating and just playing games or watching TV or films you know any sort of media exposure, I have had. I've not felt inspired or motivated because of tiredness mainly to just write some stuff, I've not had ideas. Some reviews I've done on films are short on letterboxd, but it's not to the level of where I want to publish here. I know that doesn't matter or mean much to you reading, but I like my reviews here to have some sort of love and passion.

Job life

Job number 1 - Bartender
I started that job in July 2022, and I've recently resigned from that job. I resigned because the job wasn't fun and worth the stress any more. Furthermore, I wasn't getting the hours, so I had to take another job earlier this year which in turn seemed to have penalized me with management in Job 1. Hours were cut again and if I wasn't able to cover or wanted time off (with enough time given in advance) I'd be met with just general snarky behaviour and arguments. It wasn't good for me. Every time I got to the place I felt miserable. The constant road works and closures don't do me any good either but that's not the fault of the company of course. My friends who I met there were leaving or have left. My fave person there has gone on bereavement leave and I hated to leave without seeing her or welcoming her back, but there's no way I would have been happy with myself to continue being miserable and stressed in a job that doesn't satisfy me. When I handed my notice in and told my new supervisors they were supportive and so lovely. It was a great place to work at I used to look forward to the laughs and the team working together, but there's just selfishness there and no team work and lack of communication admist all my faves aka the good people leaving. I wish them all the best there, they are good people, and it's a nice place to visit, but I can't stay where I'm not happy. That's the truth, and I'm sorry if I have left anyone down or upset in my decision. Of course, I offended my managers there when I said that "it feels good that it's my last shift here.".

To my friends I made who I worked with please stay in touch and know that Chloe,Prim,Josh D, Ash, Caitlin, Bret, Yestyn, Brandon, Rachel, Sarah, Tatiana, Scott and Josh S, I hope you know how much I've loved working with you and if you should ever see this post know that I love you all and respect you all so much, and I can't wait to hang out and see you all again soon.

Job 2 - Customer Service Sales Assistant & Keyholder
So this job in the beginning I found boring, but now I love it and I love all who I work with and the customers. It's getting to be the busy season, so I'm excited and nervous for all the madness that awaits me. I love my co-workers and managers there, and it is local to my home. Besides parking charges there are no cons or complaints I have for the job. I got to focus my attention there and on being better and more knowledgeable of the job and place and products and a bunch of online training and get any and all extra hours I can there to bulk up my pay and experience and that's where my focus is at.

Mental Health
I still get that fake motivation where I want to or feel like I'm going to play some game on my PlayStation, but then I just don't get to do it. Videos I do get to do here or there it just depends on when I feel motivated to do them or when the idea or inspiration hits.

My weight loss has staggered, I'm still keeping the 4 stone I lost earlier this year off me, but it's tough the motivation I once had has staggered again. So it feels like a waiting game for some sort of lightning bolt to hit me to awaken me back to full power where I will do anything and everything haha. I got this hip issue ATM and also this weird wheezy cough so that's fun dealing with.

Dating wise I'm just always at the talking stage, so I guess, I need some help in that department. I've made more friends than I've had dates and the friends I've made are cool and different genders too.

Finished my Christmas shopping, I like to be early in that department.

TV Shows
The One Piece netflix TV show was absolutely lit!
Disney's Star Wars Ashoka show has been great, and it's not finished yet (at time of writing).
Futurama new season on Disney plus has its moments but overall I thought it sucked, unfortunately.
Power Rangers: Cosmic Fury was pretty good, I'd give it a 7/10.

Futhermore
As always I'm on tiktok and YouTube content creating videos besides writing here. You can also follow me and see more short reviews on my letterboxd profile.
