Top 10 Limp Bizkit Songs

Alright partner, keep on rollin' baby, you know what time it is!

Time for my Top 10 Limp Bizkit songs then, is it? Been a while and this is going to be my first top 10 of the year by the looks of it, so woo hoo! Limp have some awesome covers too, but I will not be including them here (sorry).

This list was recommended to me by James Davie. Cheers mate!

10: Eat You Alive

This song is just about pure primitive animal-like sexual attraction. It TOTALLY KICKS ASS tho, and I think it's great. The song was written by Fred Durst, John Otto, Sam Rivers and Mike Smith, and is Limp Bizkit's first single without Wes Borland, who had left the band in 2001. Durst filmed a music video featuring known actors Thora Birch and Bill Paxton

9: Ready To Go

Limp Bizkit revealed plans to release "Ready to Go" in 2012 after they signed with Cash Money Records on February 24, with Fred Durst stating, "It sounds like a monster; it literally sounds dangerous. It sounds like that left of center, that place of discomfort that created rock 'n' roll, created the (heavy) metal, where it all spawned from." This song feels like we have been waiting for, for like the past decade from Limp because it was a return to form of the Bizkit of old and of course Wes returned.

8: Livin' It Up

This song is simply, just about doin' your thing and not letting people bring you down... that's all there is to it. props to Fred for being himself and doing whatever the fuck he wants, he's free in all the ways a lot of people are not. Limp Bizkit were, rubbing shoulders with Hollywood stars like it was nothing when Bizkit hit the scene and became massive.

7: My Way

Chocolate Starfish really does feel like the album where almost every track could make a mad dash for radio at any moment. My Way proved to be a radio hit and entered the charts internationally, even breaking into the Billboard hot 100. While not the band's most successful single, it was popular enough to catch the ears of execs at WWE, who ultimately took the track for the official theme of WrestleMania X-Seven, helping the band expand their reach even more. 

6: Hot Dog

The opening song from Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water was the scourge of parents worldwide, its profanity-laden verses seeing Durst drop the f-bomb 49 times. Controversial, yes, but also the perfect way to kick up a storm in the mainstream media at the start of the album. This one comes from the Reznor/Durst beef. Hot Dog was the perfect clapback to Reznor dissing Durst and Fred even went as far as crediting Reznor as a songwriter, Bizkit lifted directly from Nine Inch Nails' Closer while openly mocking him throughout the track. Say what you want about Limp Bizkit, but the band could be brutal when it was time to step up to the plate. 

5: My Generation

It's almost inevitable that each new generation will face criticism from their forebears for hollowing out the spirit of society, a trope that stretches back to the 50s and possibly beyond. Limp Bizkit might have been on the nose in their reference to The Who's song of the same name (and subject), but Durst and co. had some justifiable gripes with how they were portrayed in the media, particularly following their experiences at Woodstock '99. My Generation was an anthem for exactly that, a disaffected generation of youth who were blamed for the decline of society while their elders brazenly ran the planet into the ground. 

4: Take A Look Around (Mission Impossible)

Durst was never shy about professing his love for movies (once stating he wanted to be "the only musician who puts true, good, original thoughts into music and into films that have a major impact worldwide"), so it makes sense he'd be well on board for a song which uses the Mission Impossible theme as its main motif, even moreso when considering it got inclusion on the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack. The single itself went on to become a huge hit in Europe, topping the charts in countries like Portugal and Iceland whilst achieving top 10 status elsewhere (including a no. 3 placing on the UK singles chart). It's a little goofy, but also perfect for Limp Bizkit at the height of their powers and frankly the beefed-up, metal take on Mission Impossible is everything you would hope it would be. 

3: Nookie

Fred Durst wasn't pretending he had any greater calling or drive with the first single from 1999's Significant Other, Nookie's chorus stating things plain and simple, he 'did it all for the nookie'. The song's straight-up obnoxiousness helped it crash-land into the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, peaking at No. 80. It's brash, it's dumb but to many it nonetheless represents Limp Bizkit's inexplicable charm and helped the band land a no. 1 album in the US in 1999. 

2: Break Stuff

A simple song fuelling the inner angst to drink up, party hard and say fuck the world and basically to break stuff. Break Stuff was the final line Limp Bizkit needed to cross to truly become superstars, one of the most important bands on the planet (for a hot minute, at least). The song hones the angst and aggression at the heart of Limp Bizkit's most aggro moments into a sub-three minute anthem that came to define the band more than anything else. Break Stuff's star-studded video (featuring everyone from Jonathan Davis and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea to Alec Baldwin, Dr. Dre and Eminem) also helped establish that Limp Bizkit were pop culture heavyweights, moving beyond the realms of mere music stardom. It also became a metal club staple, a mosh-call for every subsequent generation and such an inescapable force that chances are more metal fans know the opening verse of Break Stuff than the Lord's Prayer. It's just one of those days when you don't wanna wake up/Everything is fucked, everybody sucks'. We've all been there, Fred. 

1: Rollin'

Oh come on, I cannot put this any other space besides NUMBER 1. The first song I ever heard by Bizkit and best song Bizkit ever made, popular as fuck and people still do the dance motions to this day. Fred teaming with Undertaker also helped this song's popularity to mainstream. It topped the charts in the UK and Ireland, and made a decent showing elsewhere (including a no. 10 spot on the US Mainstream Rock charts, though only reached no. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100), released on the same day as My Generation to help Chocolate Starfish become an international smash. Its video featured Ben Stiller and has been streamed over 500 million times between Spotify and YouTube, such is its utterly colossal reach. To many, this song is Limp Bizkit. 

Does my list keep you rollin or did it make you break stuff?

Either way, leave me a comment or tag me on social media with your list.

Top 20 Wrestling Theme Songs Of All Time!

Alri? James Davie my good friend asked me this question and I intend to answer it and I will post it all here with links and from 20 to 1. 

There's a lot of awesome themes out there and my mind will change time to time but wish me luck and let's hope your faves shows up here too. :) 

I'll throw in a mixed bag. 

20: Abyss - Down In The Catacombs
First time I seen TNA, I saw Icons, High flyers and A MONSTER! *Click* DOOMSDAY! Abyss seems to have one of the few themes in TNA history that you can recognise within a couple of seconds . It’s not an overly long song, as it loops on itself after about 75 seconds in, but those 75 seconds take you on a journey of mystery and horror!

19: Sting TNA - Slay Me!
TNA gave him his best song i feel. Truly iconic and the guitar instrumental is truly epic! One of very few easily recognisable theme songs.

18: GRADO - Like A Prayer
Guilty pleasure brilliantly funny fan favourite wrestler.

17: Charlotte Flair - Recognition
I love Charlotte's flair's song, it's a metal version of Ric flair's theme with added flair if i do say so myself.

16: Hardy Boyz - Loaded
Classic tune, everytime it played you cant help but do the hardy's salute and thrust your hips while smacking tornado's.

15: Christian - At Last
I only few years ago rediscovered this golden gem treat and i love it and used to play it constantly on repeat.

14: Beer Money - Take A Fall
BEER! MONEY! What a team, what a song, when it comes to tag teams many come to mind but among first thought of making this list, this team came second for the first team came at 16. I love this one.

13: Cena (Word Life & Time Is Now)
John Cena is the biggest star the WWE has had since The Rock and is arguably one of the greatest of all time. But Cena’s music didn’t gain widespread recognition until it got memed into the social universe, when “Unexpected Cena” became the viral hit of the summer in 2015 and has since become the Kurt Angle You Suck Chanted song of the modern era. JOHN CENA SUUUCKS, JOHN CENA SUCKS etc etc. Cena's word life i personally love and know most of it off by top of my head and it gets stuck in my brain most days it's brilliant and i miss word life cena.

12: Kurt Angle (WWE&TNA themes)
From the Angle chanted of the modern era to this one well two. Angle's Medal theme is so awesome and thanks to Edge getting the fans to chant YOU SUCK it became iconic and also made Kurt i'd say. Kurt's tna theme gold medalist is epic, it's almost terminator like start to then kicking off with a great rap it's brilliant and i love it. 

11: Kane - Burned
First time hearing this i was like what in the world and then BOOM PYRO and the drums pound and the guitar screetches and its just the ultimate big red badass piece of machinery to go along with the big red machine himself because THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE!

10: Aleister Black - Root Of All Evil
Upon first listen i was hooked on the song and on Black. The track truly brings an “end of times” mindset with it, which speaks volumes alongside Black’s silent death stare. Code Orange and Incendiary, the New York hardcore band who recorded the song, played Black’s introduction together live at Barclay’s Center last August in what was probably the best live-intro entrance the WWE has ever put together.

9: CM Punk - Cult Of Personality
I have always loved this song and when Punk left wwe came back and this started to play I was like what who the hell is coming out to this and then he came through the curtain and the crowd and myself just jumped out of our seats losing our minds. Obviously i was not there in person when it happened just saying i was at home like "OMG!". 

8: The Demon Finn Balor - Catch Your Breath
Finn is a complex character but what a talent just a shame Vinnie won't push him for a title anymore since he had an injury when he won the big one. This song is epic!

7: Hulk Hogan - Real American
He is a real american and he fights for the rights of every man, catchy, classic and iconic and easily one of the most recognisable theme songs in history.

6: Shinsuke Nakumura - The Rising Sun
I dislike his current theme but his old one is classic it represented the strong style of his hard hitting past whilst embracing the rockstar that he is. His entrance music, while still powerful, has a sense of grace and elegance. With violins winding around a light EDM drum beat, crowds often sing the song’s main riffs in unison, even during the middle of Nakamura’s match. In the modern era of pro wrestling, where a crowd’s enthusiasm often dictates which wrestlers the WWE gives more attention to, theme songs like this are a win-win for everyone involved. And Nakamura’s is an instant classic.

5: Bobby Roode - Glorious Domination
Sometimes, all it takes is a really well-crafted theme song that can make a star. In Bobby Roode’s case, his entrance music shot him to the moon. In less than five months, Roode went from debuting winning the NXT Championship, due in large part to his insanely popular theme song which crowds immediately took to singing along with while he walked to the ring. It’s GLORIOUS! 

4: Undertaker - R.I.P.
 Just like HH and many other wrestlers on this list this is one of the best, classic and iconic songs but Taker has always had stand out themes. Taker’s smoggy, bone-chilling entrance is almost numbing while he slowly emerges to the tune of church organs and lightning cracks. It’s often said an entrance can make or break a wrestler, and The Undertaker’s unsettling theme is in large part why his introduction is the most thrilling and iconic of all time.

3: The Rock - Electrifying
I always wonder what he is cooking but perhaps it's just Jabroni Pie he does like his pies after all but anyway. Simply electrifying what else is there to say? 

2: Stone Cold - I Won't Do What You Tell Me!
Sorry just smashed a glass and hang on, there's a knock at my door......apologies for up and leaving you all suddenly a weird coincidence the minute i smash glass that Stone Cold E.T. shows up with Shark Boy. It was nice to see the two again but anyway if you want me to talk about STEVE AUSTIN gimmie a HELL YEAH! That's what i thought,  That “OH SHIT, IT’S ABOUT TO GET REAL” sound meant you were about to see someone’s ass get kicked by The Rattlesnake himself. Austin, the main protagonist of pro wrestling’s most celebrated era, was a mean-mugging, shit-talking mad man who routinely threw wrenches into ultra-bad guy Vince McMahon’s evil plans and was always there to save the day. Like a modern-day bat signal, Austin’s entrance music didn’t just mean you were about to see a serious brawl, it meant everything was going to be alright.

1: HHH- The Game!
It’s not hard to point out that Triple H’s theme (played by Motörhead) is one of the best there is. But Lemmy’s voice gave an already credible star a boost into hall-of-fame presentation. With the recognizable legend’s voice at the helm, Triple H’s theme translated one thing: that he was an unparalleled star. As soon as his music hits, Triple H (also known as “The Game”) goes from a character who could hold championships to “final boss” type stuff. It was tough to put any as number 1 on my list but this stood out as number one when i was asked to name my list so i just had to put it here it's epic and it's all about the game and how you play it.

Aaaaaaaaand that's all folks, hope you enjoyed, let me know your faves and come back soon for more lists among other things.

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 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 World Heavyweight Champions

This is my penultimate list of top 10 WWE champions with the big gold aka WWE World Heavyweight Championship! Who will outweigh all to become the king of the heavyweights? Let's read on to find out! Funfact i always loved the big gold and want a replica some day.

10) Ric Flair

WOO!!! In at number 10 is the man who made the gold as valuable and respected as it is and that is 505 days 8 time reigning champion of the big gold, Ric Flair! Defeated Sting for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. WCW began recognising Flair as WCW World Heavyweight Champion while still using the NWA belt. WWE recognises this reign as an NWA world title reign (and not a WCW one).

9) Goldberg

Although Goldbergs first wwe run was pretty lame with a forgettable title run his time spent with the title in WCW is memorable and did a lot for him and he did a lot for the title i believe so anyway. Goldberg say what you want about him but he is vicious. 

8) Rey Mysterio 

After winning the 2006 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio became World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 22, overcoming Kurt Angle and Randy Orton in a triple threat match. The ultimate underdog or the littlest big man Rey was so good it's a shame wwe did not have much trust in him after his first reign and due to the amount of injuries his skills have diminished a bit but still he is great and still really popular and i hope if he returns to wwe he gets one last title run. 

7) Chris Jericho 

Despite being a three-time champion, Chris Jericho was never given a sustained amount of time with the belt, making all of his title reigns forgettable, with the only real highlight coming from a heated feud with Shawn Michaels in late 2008.

6) John Cena

AND HIS NAME IS......well you know who this guy is, that guy you can't see?  You know leader of the Cenation? Dr of thugonomics? JOOOOOOOHN CENAAAAA!? Yeah see you know who it is. Although Cena has gone for WWE title more than the big gold, Cena the marmite wrestler love him or hate him he puts on entertaining matches and fueds and he is WWE's biggest star!

5) Batista

The animal established himself as the new big star after beating Triple H to win the title at Mania 21, the only man to hold the belt for over 100 days on two separate occasions, as World Heavyweight Champion 'The Animal' became the top star on Smackdown, as well as one as the greatest champions to ever hold the belt.

4) Randy Orton

Randy Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history when he captured the belt for the first time at Summerslam 2004, at the age of only 24. 'The Viper' only held the title for four weeks before dropping it to former mentor Triple H at Unforgiven. Following this, Orton would focus his attention on the WWE Title and would not capture another World Heavyweight Championship for nearly seven years. 

3) Undertaker

Taker first won the title 10 years ago back in 2007's Wrestlemania against the animal himself. In October 2009, 'The Deadman' began his third and final reign as champion after besting CM Punk at Hell in a Cell. This would become his longest run yet with the title, holding onto the belt for 140 days before losing it at No Way Out in an Elimination Chamber match, following interference from Shawn Michaels. Despite capturing the belt for two WrestleManias in a row, both title reigns were disappointingly short, before a third run that was slightly more befitting of a legend. If Taker has retired it is a damn shame he did not retire with gold. 

2) Edge

A record 7 title reigns with the big gold has Edge placed here but not only for his accomplishments but of course like any man on this list for their wrestling skills and charisma and their entertainment factor is what made Edge so good and excel at winning the big one. Despite being a record seven-time World Heavyweight Champion, the longest individual reign Edge had with the belt lasted only 105 days. Edge is one of the few stars to retire as a reigning world champion, 'The Ultimate Opportunist' held the belt more times than anyone else, and is rightly remembered as one of the great World Heavyweight Champions.

1) HHH

The first WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the game has held the title 5 times, although the game was first awarded the title does not mean he was just handed it for nothing. Including his eight WWE Championships, Triple H has spent well over 1,000 days as a world champion in the WWE. The company's first World Heavyweight Champion, he could very well be the greatest to ever hold the title!

There we go, that's my top 10 WWE WHC's so who made your list? Let me know!

Thanks for stopping by as ever and i hope you will come back tomorrow for my last champion ranking list where i will be displaying my top 10 WWE Champions!

For now, STAY SHINY!

Top 10 WWE Tag Team Champions

Grab your partner and tag em in because today's list see's us looking at the top 10 WWE tag team champions!

All tag titles under the wwe name are on display here and i will be picking a bunch not all from same era's. I will also not be including teams with the same members in. SO for example DX so if HBK HHH or any of the past members of DX have won tag titles with different partners it wont be on the list sorry.

10) The Brothers Of Destruction

Yep at number 10 falls one of my fave teams the most destructive team on this list maybe is The Undertaker & Kane, THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION! They should have had more reigns and days that they held the titles but they were meant for better bigger titles. The Deadman and The Devil’s Favourite Demon captured three separate tag team titles, and were also the team to unify the WWE and WCW Tag Team Championships, devouring DDP and Kanyon at SummerSlam 2001 inside of a steel cage.

9) Demolition

HERE COMES THE AX AND HERE COMES THE SMASH! I'll be honest i never seen them wrestle much but i got respect for them for their reign being one of the longest in history. Dressed for pure brutality with spiked ring gear and outrageous face paint, the intimidating duo captured the World Tag Team Championships a total of three times — including the single longest tag title reign in WWE history of more than 470 days. Although they were dismissed early as clones of The Road Warriors, the brutes from Parts Unknown made their reputation of pure destruction against elite combination that included The Hart Foundation, The Rockers, The British Bulldogs and The Brain Busters.

8) Rock N Sock Connection

One of the most electrifying teams on the list comes the unlikely weird pairing of THE ROCK and.....Sock? I mean Mankind/Foley the pair had 3 reigns as tag champs but each did not last long sadly but they were highly entertaining and for being entertaining, fun, funny and overall great wrestlers is why they are on my list. Yes there's so many teams that deserve to be on my list i am only limited to 10 so this is all my 10. 

7) DX

ARE YOU READY? I SAID ARE YOU READY!!!?? Here they are i'd say the DX crew are the most entertaining on my list be it under the stable of many or the team of few they dominated gloriously with entertaining antics to boot and with feuds that were gripping to watch. Spanning 13 years, D-Generation X was the brainchild of two best friends, Shawn Michaels and Triple H. In 1997, HBK and The Game brought their backstage friendship in front of the cameras, and the world of sports-entertainment changed forever. DX’s brand of sophomoric humor was a cornerstone of the Attitude Era, and their influence beyond the ring became clear when Mike Tyson was recruited for their group. After eight years apart, the band got back together in 2006. As former multi-time WWE Champions, DX was more powerful than ever, and brandished their logo on the WWE headquarters in Connecticut and on Mr. McMahon’s corporate jet. They returned tag team wrestling to the main event spotlight, dominating pairs including the McMahons, Rated-RKO and Legacy. In 2009, Michaels and Triple H won their first WWE Tag Team Championships together. But D-Generation X wasn’t about the gold — it was about two pals having a blast, dominating competition and revolutionizing entertainment but when they were with New Age Outlaws under their wings they did win more gold but it was just between ASS MAN Billy Gun and the Road Dogg Jesse James. 

6) London & Kendrick

These guys were phenomenal before the phenomenal one joined the WWE. It's a shame they spilt. WWE’s tag team division has often been dominated by powerhouse teams like Legion of Doom, The Natural Disasters, Kane and Big Show and other monstrous Superstars who piled up championship reigns. Paul London and Brian Kendrick set out to change that when they joined forces in 2006. Taking to the skies with a unique brand of high flying offense that few teams could answer, London and Kendrick defeated MNM for SmackDown’s WWE Tag Team Titles in May of that year and successfully defended them for the next 331 days which is a feat which was broken recently by New Day. The aerial experts were drafted to Raw in 2007, where they added a World Tag Team Championship reign to their mantle before the WWE Draft split them up in 2008. 

5) The Legion Of Doom

Legion Of Doom/Road Warriors well wow what a team they had the mean look and the mean wrestling skills that would run you over repeatedly. The most dominant tag team in sports-entertainment history, WWE Hall of Famers The Road Warriors made their WWE debut in 1990 as the Legion of Doom. After battling Demolition, Hawk and Animal faced The Nasty Boys and defeated the disgusting duo for the World Tag Team Championships at SummerSlam 1991. This victory made the L.O.D. the only pairing in history to win tag team titles in the three promotions that dominated sports-entertainment in the 1980s: AWA, NWA and WWE. Although the Legion of Doom was wildly popular in their early days in WWE, they struggled to maintain their success as the years passed. The L.O.D. left WWE in 1992 but returned in 1997 and won the tag team titles. However, after seemingly splitting up and reforming as L.O.D. 2000, the duo was unable to regain their control over the tag division. Hawk and Animal’s time in WWE wasn’t always as fortuitous as their runs in smaller territories, but their popularity and intensity was rarely matched. 

4) The Hardy Boyz

Another one of my fave tag teams in all of wrestling history here, i use to idolise them both but Jeff more and i am still a huge fan of the team, followed their career since the first time i tuned in to a wwf show. An integral part of the tag team renaissance of the early 2000s, Matt and Jeff Hardy were part of the six-headed rivalry (along with Edge & Christian and The Dudley Boyz) that gave birth to the Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, where they pioneered the modern use of the ladder. The reckless abandon with which they practised their craft won the brothers numerous tag titles as well as several singles championships between them. 

3) Edge & Christian

HOLD THAT POSE FOR 5 SECONDS PLEASE!...........Ok good. Another entertaining, skilled wrestling tag team here. Lifelong best friends, Edge and Christian went from school hallways in Toronto to quite literally climbing the ladder of success in WWE. The pairing undeniably “reeked of awesomeness” – their tongue-in-cheek “five-second poses” and proclamations that “sodas rule” were just earnest enough to earn simultaneous adoration and eye-rolls from the WWE Universe. With their patented Con-Chair-To, Edge and Christian won seven World Tag Team Championships, the first in a Ladder Match against The Hardys at WrestleMania 2000. They defeated both The Hardys and Dudley Boyz in the first-ever TLC Match at SummerSlam, and were victorious in a rematch at WrestleMania X-Seven – hailed by many as the greatest tag team match in WWE history. The longstanding animosity between the three duos consistently resulted in Edge and Christian supremacy, and solidified the team as not just fun and games, but a bona fide force to be reckoned with. Edge and Christian were the arrogant jerks you loved to hate, especially as they revolutionized tag team wrestling for generations to come.

2) The New Day

Although i am not a big fan of them, they are entertaining and the longest modern era reigning tag champions and at least they are here on my list so don't worry and be happy. The New Day are two-time and longest reigning Raw Tag Team Champions at 483 days, as well as having the longest combined reign at 532 days

1) The Dudleys

GET UP GET UP DROP THE BOMBSHELL! Yes number one has the one and only BUBBA Ray and D-Von Dudley, from Dudleyville, THE DUDLEY BOYZ! The Dudley Boyz, who hold the most reigns as a team with 8! They have won titles all over the world in all different companies from ECW, WWF,WWE,TNA, WCW,2CW,Hustle, All Japan,IWGP and are in TNA's Hall Of Fame. The most accomplished tag team on this list for sure and that's why they are numero uno!

Thank You Undertaker - A Tribute To The Phenom! By Scott Jones

It happened....the unthinkable....Undertaker lost at Wrestlemania again and to Roman Reigns of all people but not only that BUT, Taker also removed a lot of his gear, his gloves,hat,coat and left them in the centre of the ring. This signalled one thing....the retirement of the dead man. 

Going into Mania 33 i was confident Taker would slay the Roman Empire. I said i would give up WWE if Roman beat Taker and when Taker retires....i also said Cena will be the one to retire Taker.....I was wrong about Cena being the one to retire Taker. As for not watching WWE i do feel like this was it. The last time i should watch this ageing stale product that we have gotten over the past decade.

This blog post i am dedicating entirely to The Undertaker and will be talking or rather writing about his accomplishments and career history and will be linking and providing pics for you to browse and watch and just remember fondly and enjoy as Taker is my all time fave wrestler so i have to dedicate a whole blog post just to him in his retirement because he is worthy of it and it is really fitting and i hope this post serves as a good tribute to him.

BUT SCOTT.... WHAT IF....this is not the end of Undertaker completely.....WHAT IF.....this is the end of The Deadman Gimmick? WELL i don't know at the moment all signs in this universe point to "The End" so i have to just go with it. IF thing's change and HE DOES comeback well i shall be eternally happy and UPDATE this post but for now THIS IS IT, SO READ ON!

The Undertaker made his debut at WWF Survivor Series 1990. He made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania VII, quickly defeating "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka. He is often highly praised as being the most respectful/respected wrestler ever. Wrestler Big Show named The Undertaker as the greatest professional wrestler of all time, while Mark Henry and WWE chairman Vince McMahon have called him their favorite. WWE Hall of Famer and company executive, Jim Ross, said: "Without question, The Undertaker is the greatest big man in the history of wrestling. There is no greater WWE star ever than The Undertaker".

Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition mentioned Undertaker as having the most consecutive victories at WrestleMania. In November 2015, Telegraph journalist Tom Fordy called The Undertaker "the world's greatest sportsman". As of 2017, The Undertaker became the first and only wrestler to remain in the WWE since 1990, expanding a 25-plus-year career within the company. Calaway has appeared on 61 different pay-per-view posters, which, as of 2015, is the highest of any WWE superstar. He has had many changes in his persona over the year's from deadman to lord of darkness,american badass, big evil and finally back to being the deadman. 

I looked up Taker's match statistics and here is how it all shapes up.

Total number of matches: 2275

Total number of wins: 1717 (75.5%)

Total number of losses: 467 (20.5%)

Total number of draws: 91 (4.0%)

The years he won the most matches in was 1993 and 1996 with that number being 144 Wins out of 160 matches in those years. 1991 he had the most matches with 189. Most losses in a year is also 1991 with the number of losses being 85.

We looked at his singles title wins and awards now for his tag team title wins.

WCW Tag Team Championship (1 time) – with Kane

WWF Tag Team Championship (6 times) – with Stone Cold Steve Austin (1), Big Show (2), The Rock (1) and Kane (2)

As you can see or know not all of his tag titles were won thanks to brotherly love. Taker had many alliances in his career. 

He started with Ted DiBiase with Brother Love. 

He eventually went with his longest serving manager Paul Bearer and the duo were to be feared and have also turned against each other many times but Paul is Taker's most well known and loved manager. 

Taker has also joined with Vince McMahon and had his own stable called the ministry of darkness which consisted of Bradshaw, Faarooq, Mideon, Viscera, Gangrel, Edge & Christian.

Unique Entrances

In this post you have mostly seen Taker be The Deadman but i actually really love his Biker gimmicks so the American Badass & Big Evil. Here's a pic below.

Taker has always been the guy with unique entrance's that will either give you chills or will pump you up. 

Le Taker signature eye roll. 

He enter's slowly, with fire and smoke with no lights on....to then get up the steel steps and raise's his hands in the air to turn the lights on and slowly enters the ring to take his jacket off and then slowly his hat followed by the trademark Taker eye roll and grin which always sends chills and scare's anyone he is facing. 

Now it's time to tuck in and watch some of his best moments and matches that i could find on YOUTUBE so do follow the links below to watch some of the greatest pieces of wrestling entertainment ever!

The Last Rites

Goodbye to the legend, the phenom, the deadman, the lord of darkness, the icon, the big evil, the american badass and the demon from death valley. I can not thank the Undertaker enough for his hard work and dedication to the business. He is a hero of mine and has been since i first discovered wrestling when i was merely 6 years old. There will never be another Phenom. Much love and respect to you. For i will forever miss you and the WWE will never be the same without you, Undertaker. Legends never die! Until we see you again deadman, rest well in peace and may the man behind Taker enjoy the rest of his life.  

Thank You.
