Top 10 Wrestling Tag Teams 2023

2023 is drawing to an end, and so I was asked to name some of my fave wrestlers of the year, and so this list is all about those tag teams that have stood out to me and I have enjoyed the most this year. This list will not be featuring tag teams from NJPW or other British or other indie companies purely because I do not watch a lot of them as compared to WWE, AEW & TNA.

10: DIY

Recently reformed and as good as ever.

9: The Creed Brothers aka Diamond Mine

Now, it's taken me a long time to like these boys, but the past few months they have come into their own and their current main roster run has been insane!

8: Imperium

Imperium is an absolute unit, with the ring general leading the team, they are one of the most dominant teams today. 

7: Sami & Ko

Of course when these two come together it's gold, glad to see them team in wwe. 

6: Bullet Club Gold

The Bang Bang Gang are absolutely extraordinarily talented wrestlers and are so entertaining also, shoutout to Cardblade haha. 

5: Bullet Club ABC

Ace and Bay are an insanely talented team full of speed and aggression, and honestly they are one of the hottest teams around and are always a joy to watch. 

4: FTR

FTR have always been dominant champions where ever they have gone, and they continue this today. 

3: The Acclaimed

Entertaining, fun, funny, strong and athletic the acclaimed have it all, so SCISSOR ME DADDY ASS!!!

2: House Of Black

A brickhouse, a follower, a wraith and a leader of darkness make up the highly mysterious, interesting and dangerous team of the House Of Black and the house always wins.

1: The Judgment Day

I love this team, it's all of my fave wrestlers in one group and the dark edge to them is always fascinating to see play out also the fact they hold a lot of the wwe gold is something special. 

That's my list, other wrestling lists are on the way, and you can find lots more on my blog.

Wrestling Promo CHAT GPT!

*In a dimly lit wrestling ring, a lone figure stands in the center, staring down the camera with a fierce intensity.*

"You know who I am. You know what I've accomplished. But still, employers refuse to hire me. They see my resume, my experience, my passion, and yet they turn me away.

"Well, let me tell you something, employers. You may think you're making a smart business decision by not hiring me, but you're wrong. You're missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime.

"You see, I'm not just any ordinary job seeker. I'm a fighter. I've faced challenges in the ring that would make your head spin. I've stared down opponents twice my size and come out on top. And if you give me a chance, I'll bring that same tenacity, that same drive, to your company.

So go ahead, keep overlooking me. Keep passing me by. But when you're struggling to keep up with the competition, when you're falling behind in the market, don't say I didn't warn you. Because I'll be out there, in the ring, doing what I do best. And you'll be left wondering what could have been if you'd only given me a chance. Employers, listen up. It's time to step up your game. It's time to recognize the potential that's right in front of you. Because if you don't, I'll be the one standing in the ring, victorious once again."

*The wrestler throws down the microphone, raising his fists in defiance as the camera fades to black.*

Predicted WWE 2K23 Tracklist

Since the trailer for WWE 2K23 announced which came with the announcement of John Cena taking over and the showcase mode being about John's 20 years in the Biz, I will be making my predictions for the 2K23 Tracklist.

Typically, the WWE 2k Soundtracks have had about 12 songs but for fun I will make my predictions to be a total of 15 songs because we all want more BANG for our BUCK right?!

#1: Shot Me Down - David Guetta Ft Skylar Grey

#2: Started From The Bottom - Drake

#3: Right Now - John Cena

#4: Bad Bad Man - John Cena

#5: Tití Me Preguntó - Bad Bunny

#6: Help Me, Help You - Logan Paul

#7: Griftwood - Ghost

#8: Chokehold - Sleeptoken

#9: Lost In The Moment - We Came As Romans

#10: Rock Box - RUN DMC

#11: Izzo - Jay Z

#12: Eminem - Lose Yourself

#13: Butter - BTS

#14: I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic

#15: Surviving The Game - Skillet

And this is my predicted set list for 2k23 WWE game. I curated this list myself by information I know from Cena's liked artists to my own suggestions based on the themes of the game of course.

What would your list look like?

See you soon, stay shiny!

Top 10 Fozzy Songs

Fozzy the metal band headed by Chris Jericho started off as an Ozzy Osborne covers band BUT quickly went into making their own music, and it rocked, THEY ROCK! 

As of September 2022, the band has released eight studio albums and one live album. Their first two albums consist of primarily cover songs with some original material, while their albums since have made original material the primary focus.

10: Do You Wanna Start A War?

Starting off strong with this catchy belter. Fall in line and obey if you want to start a war, you better do it right now!

9: Sandpaper

Jericho teams with M.Shadows on this belter. Jericho once said: "It's not about a piece of paper that you rub on your face that chafes you, it's just about an abrasive type of feeling that you might have toward somebody. So it's just stuff like that. But we still sing it with a smile on our faces."

8: Sane

The video for this was filmed on the world's longest wooden Rollercoaster. "Sane," with its ebb and flow of hushed anxiety and expressive, relief-struck chorus, is an ode to those who live their lives a bit crazier than the average person. "In times like these, I don't wanna be sane," sing Jericho over the refrain.

7: I Still Burn

Jericho said: I Still Burn is the story of the dreams, the passion and the fire that lies within all of us to be the absolute best we can be…and to do WHATEVER it takes to achieve the goals that make our dreams come true! The sacrifices, the losses, and the triumphs that we have all experienced make up the lyrical DNA of this song. I Still Burn is Fozzy’s mission statement, our life’s work and our destiny…and we are so proud to share this message of victory with our Fozzy family!! Plus, Rich’s guitar solo fuckin rules!!!”

6: Nowhere To Run

This track is a strong statement right out of the gate, filled with aggressive gritty guitars to open the song before giving way to more dreamily melodic verses and a defiant, anthemic chorus.

5: Painless

Jericho said: It’s based around a bad relationship and somebody’s just numbing you to the pain, almost like if you get bit by a black widow, and it numbs you as it kills you,” the vocalist raves. “I just love that, like every breath I take is one closer to death when I’m with you.”

4: Martyr No More

Chris Jericho says that he wrote the lyrics about someone who can do anything except for put up with their significant other any longer, something everyone can relate too.

3: Enemy

“Enemy” is about anybody that has those problems that they want to hurt themselves or someone else. A Fozzy Classic! I first heard this during a TNA PPV back in like 2007 I think. 

2: Burn Me Out

An absolute banger in my opinion. 

1: Judas

Here's the world famous AEW Fozzy SPecial! Sing it loud and proud for Le Champion!

And that is my list!

Poppy - A Very Poppy Christmas Review

So we get closer to Christmas and I thought 'tis the season for me to finally listen to Poppy's Christmas Album. I had no idea until Flux came out that she did a Christmas Album! So sit down with me and grab some mulled wine and let's chill by the fireplace and warm up with Poppy.

A Very Poppy Christmas is the third E.P. by Poppy. It features three original Christmas songs and one cover, and is Poppy's first Christmas-themed release. The EP has a stripped-back sound, with Poppy only being accompanied by guitar or keyboard on most songs.

I Like Presents - It's a nice soft love kind of song, basically saying for you to leave the presents beneath the tree because she wants all of you in exchange for all of her.

I Won't Be Home For Christmas - Another soft, kind of melancholy song about love and feeling sad because as the title suggests she won't be home for Christmas, and she's sorry for it.

Kiss In The Snow - Catchy, slow, soft, pop dance kind of beat going on with the song also. Of course this is love themed too, the piano part is lovely. Yeah, I'm singing along to this, this is good and memorable.

Silver Bells - Sing songy, soft pop acoustic cover of ye olde Christmas classic Silver Bells.

Great and surprisingly lovely Christmas songs from Poppy.

I was kinda teary-eyed with some of these, I won't lie, it was so sweet and just heartfelt to me.

Thanks for reading and visiting!

Top 10 Wrestlers Themes Songs You Don't Want To Hear

It's the spooky season and I felt like giving you a spooky silly treat today with my top 10 wrestlers theme songs you don't want to hear while you are in the ring.

So imagine the scenario, here you are inside a wrestling ring awaiting your mysterious opponent to show up and then one of the following songs play. You are in for an ass kicking!

10: Chyna

She's the 9th Wonder Of The World, she put the men and women in their places and happily beat up any man or woman who stood in her way. R.I.P. Chyna we miss you.

9: Aleister Black (NXT theme)

Although Malakai Black is more scary to look at, just imagine how unnerving it must be to see this heavily tatted man rise up like a vampire or something out of the living dead with this heavy metal track playing him to the ring! He's a total badass, and he will kick your head off and then raise your body back up by his mere feet and then kick your head off your shoulders again.

8: Awesome Kong

A force to not be messed with. She is one tough lady and would kick anyone's ass in a heartbeat!

7: Samoa Joe (2007 TNA Theme)

Samoa Joe is an absolute killer! Especially in his TNA run. People worldwide chant "Joe's Gonna Kill You!" for good reasons.

6: Brock Lesnar

Of course anytime this hits you got to be shitting yourself if you are going up against The Beast Incarnate! He's a stone-cold brawler, a killer warrior. He will fuck you up and make you wish you had never even imagined getting into the ring. Enjoy your trip to Suplex city bitch!

5: Abyss (2007 TNA theme)

The Monster Abyss is a whole lotta bad and a whole lotta monster. Unpredictable and powerful and more hardcore and crazier than anyone else here on this list. The Monster Abyss brings destruction everywhere he goes.

4: "The Demon" Finn Balor

Finn Balor is tough without his alter ego but when he snaps and unleashes The Demon well no one is safe.

3: The Fiend

Unpredictable, unnerving, strange, powerful and scary these are the words to describe the monster that is The Fiend. Just when you think Bray Wyatt could not get any more crazy and scary, you get him turned up into 11!

2: Kane (1997-1999)

Bah gawd, that's gotta be, THAT'S GOTTA BE KANE! The Big Red Machine era to be precise was the most monstrous he was.

1: The Undertaker

Of course this legend has to be number 1. He can appear anywhere anytime just listen and beware of the gong!

This has been a fun list, I hope you liked it. 

Any suggestions please hit me up! :)

WWE CLASH AT THE CASTLE - THE WRITE UP!

After 30 years WWE came back to host a massive premium live event (ppv) in the UK, and they went to my backyard of Cardiff, Wales. Of course, I was in attendance, and it was an absolute electrifying experience! The fans were amazing, I ain't ever heard 62 thousand people sing Edge's theme song before and I probably never will again, amazing! I attended this event with one of my childhood best friends Lewis Griff and we both had a blast!

Amazing mural by Mad Dog Brewery!

This was the view from my seats. 

Me & LG chilling prior to the pre-show! :D

A solid 8/10 PPV. Solid matches and my highlight matches were Riddle Vs Rollins, Sheamus Vs Gunther & Drew v Roman. Saying that, I pretty much loved all the matches, well besides Liv vs Shayna.

There were lots of events and advertising down Cardiff for Clash At The Castle PPV. I toured Cardiff Castle and seen Bianca and Sheamus filming with Cardiff Blue's. There was a pop-up clash shop which had so much exclusive merch for the ppv, and it was just a beautiful sight and there were various meet and greets and appearances in and around Cardiff for the PPV that week. I held the replica WWE Universal title in The Entertainer and omg I need me a replica title, they are so cool!

ACKNOWLEDGE ME!

So yes, it was an incredible experience and atmosphere and show to be a part of, and I pray for another clash at the castle in Cardiff!

WWE CLASH AT THE CASTLE: PREDICTIONS!

So on September 3rd in good ol Cardiff, we have the first major WWE PPV in the UK in 30 years! 

The card is pretty good and with how unpredictable and surprising WWE has been lately thanks to Triple H, no doubt we will get something and maybe even an appearance from The Game himself to welcome us all to Clash At The Castle!

We’re just under one week from showtime, and here’s how the card looks:

WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Drew McIntyre

Winner?: Roman (i was right)

This match could go either way and of course it will have some interruptions from Uso's and Honorary Uce Sami Zayn and maybe also Karrion Kross. If Drew wins, it will be insane!

SmackDown Women’s Championship: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Shayna Baszler

Winner?: Shayna 

I feel like with help from Ronda, Shayna wins this one. 

Intercontinental Championship: GUNTHER (c) vs. Sheamus

Winner?: Sheamus

I think this match could go either way, but I'd like Sheamus to get the one title that has slipped his grasp. 

Bianca Belair & Alexa Bliss & Asuka vs. Bayley & Dakota Kai & IYO SKY

Winners?: Damage Ctrl aka IYO, KAI, BAYLEY (i was right)

I think Bliss will turn Heel and turn on Asuka and Bianca.

Seth Rollins vs. Riddle

Winner? Riddle.

I think Riddle is due his break in this feud so this will be his one up. 

Judgement Day vs Edge & Rey Mysterio

Winners? Judgement Day

I see Dominik turning Heel joining Judgement Day.

Current TV points to these possible matches on the card too: Viking Raiders vs. New Day. Dexter Lumis vs. The Miz.

IN CASE YOU ARE INTERESTED, I MADE MY OWN CLASH AT THE CASTLE THEMED PLAYLIST ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4ITOpfNuIAcY2oDRJjR8Dy?si=212b5a5452a746c2

Random Ramblin's 49 - It's Been A While

So here I am early hours of the morning on the 1st of August 2022, wide awake, listening to music. The usual (I guess). I am here trying to figure out how to write this. I been going between two minds for a while about writing another Random Ramblin's (which is a series of blog posts I do here on my blog which operate sorta like diary entries and place I go to share news and my mind and rant about.)

There's so much that has happened since my last entry, honestly. It's been a hell of a life, is what I have been saying as I have gone through a lot mentally and even physically these past few months to well, almost a year actually.

When was the last time I did a RR? *goes to look up last entry* Ah yes.....September 2021 and it's now.....August 2022. Wow! Time sure does fly! Anyway *Thinks to himself "what the hell do I write about? why am I doing this? why am I talking in my head and also writing this down?" SIGHS* 

Well without further ado, THIS....IS.......

RANDOM RAMBLIN'S!!!!

Alright, alright, alright. First off,

HOW ARE YOU?!

I hope you are well!

LIFE

How am I? Oh well thanks for asking, at the moment I am tired and in a lot of back pain from my new job. Oh yes! I have a new job well this is another another new job. Yes I quit my previous employer the cinema back in April. Also back in April my GF broke up with me but to be honest it looks like she left me for someone else, BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I digress and this is just from MY VIEW after all and with all due respect, I won't say anything more on this matter. I do miss that Cinema job I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

ANYWAY I quit my Cwtchy cinema job to go work in a care home and It was great BUT I have/had a lot of unsolved trauma and I had so many memories pour back into me with dealing with Dementia residents because of my Nan who I sadly lost 2 years ago. The care home job was not for me at this time being sadly. In the months of May - July, I did not sign on to the Dole as it were and rather I was applying for work and having 2 interviews a week and eventually I landed the job I am in now and you know what, It's hard work right BUT I am liking it. What's my new role? Well I work as a Bartender in a restaurant and it's not as easy as it sounds or looks chief but hey I am enjoying it on most days. 

The past 5 months or so have definitely been a rebuild period for myself. Mentally and physically. It's tough and goes to show a lot of shit catches up to you and ruins you. I'm still on the mend from a lot of mental and physical issues but by taking the right steps daily and recognising when you need help and treatment is important and getting it is even more important and significant. I need to correct my posture and weight more really. I'm a work in progress and I always will be. Destroying bad habits and old habits takes time and a lot of energy and effort and consciousness (let's be fair) to make it all work and run smoothly. So just be aware of what's going on with yourself in your mind and body and try and sort any issues to save yourself in the future. Cheers for reading this bit of ramblin hehe. 😊👍

Unrelated but I have been watching a lot of Bill Burr stand up and Paul Smith stand up. 

Both fantastic comedians and I recommend giving them a nose. 

Wrestling

What a mad few months it has been for the wrestling world. Vince is gone from WWE and HHH is in charge due to the allegations against Vince making him retire from his duties with WWE.

In September WWE has their biggest PPV taking place in Cardiff, Wales and OF COURSE I AM GOING!!!!!

Film & Tv

Shocking and sad news with TV and Film land as Warner Bros have cancelled many films and TV shows including the Scoob sequel and the Batgirl film.

Dragonball Super: Superhero has released and it's incredible and so awesome!

Cw has called time on The Flash with season 9 being the last season and its also the shortest season as its been issued for only 13 episodes.

Gaming

Fortnite X Dragonball Super collab is probably Fort's best collab ever made, it is hella fun!

Music & Gigs

Machine Head, Slipknot and Five Finger Death Punch all got new album is out soon. (as of writing they are due to be released end of August and into September)

I am also seeing Machine Head and Amon Amarth in September!

Also seeing Corey Taylor in October!

Might see Three Days Grace in September but unsure yet it as it depends on my schedule and income.

Anyway that's all I got time for this week Basil haha.

Check me out on youtube & tiktok if you are bored or in need of a laugh.

If you need someone to talk to please give me a message anytime too!

Be well and be safe people!

I am also on Letterboxd so if you want to see my ratings or some reviews for films, join me there!

Poppy - EAT (NXT) E.P. Review

 So it's no secret I love Poppy's music. It's so unique and different and I love the emotions and catchy instrumentals and chorus's of her work all the way from her pop genre to the metal. This e.p. is I disagree Poppy merged with her weird quirky natured self of her pop genre and youtube weird videos but it's all fused together with a mix of synth, metal, punk centred instrumentals here. 

Poppy recently performed at the GRAMMYs, at which she premiered the killer EAT. Speaking to Kerrang! about being nominated for an award, the musician revealed of her feelings when the news came through: ​“It was unexpected, but it was great. The GRAMMYs are the GRAMMYs, they’re one of the biggest and greatest awards that you can get in music. But there are some people that I love and respect who have never been nominated, and it’s a very small percentage of people who get to have that attached to their name for the rest of their career – ​‘GRAMMY nominated’ or ​‘GRAMMY award winner’, whatever that may be. I never thought it would happen, but now I can call myself a GRAMMY nominated artist, and I am very excited about it (laughs).” She also told K! about her love for heavy music and if that will feed into a new album: ​“I’d say yes to that. Though the new album that I’ve made is going to be left open to interpretation by the listener, I would say that it still has the influence of heavy music.” 

EAT - The pure fucking anger here that I feel with her words matches and reflects my anger with some of my situations lately. I have never heard Poppy more pissed off than I do in this song and I love her screams it's so damn good!

SAY CHEESE - Slow groove is killer but so is her quiet and aggressive vocals. We do get a bizzare break in the song where we almost step foot into a elevator with Poppy speaking Japanese before Poppy opens the pit back up with another aggressive growl!

CUE - The harmonics here are just great and it's quite a slow bopping song at best of times but again like the past songs on the album it wants to try and lull you into a steady pace before POPPY YELLS LIKE AN ANGRY KAREN AT YOU! 

BREEDERS - This track explores the themes of exposing humanity for passing on lies, abuse, and corrupted beliefs onto each other thus turning future generations into the same breeders so to speak. A very political song and a social commentary one I would argue. 

DARK DARK WORLD - Another political society aimed track here with the man vs society/government going on as poppy says the corruption in today's world is waging war we can't ignore and we must fight it. 

Also not on this e.p. but is another amazing new track from Poppy is Fear Of Dying! 

So check that out too!

I can't wait to see what comes next from Poppy!

Random Ramblin's 43 - Reflection Post Halloween 2020

Reflection time!😎

So Halloween 2020 was an unusual one. This year is so abnormal. We in Wales are in lockdown once more but the firebreak national welsh lockdown is nearing it's end, unfortunately Covid is still roaming. Its been hard for sure but there's also some great things that have and are still happening.

I've done an amazing job and I'm proud of myself for my facepaint. Which even Finn himself liked my demon Bálor paint (1st pic) and the 2nd pic was Cobra Kai halloween inspo with a skeleton they are seen in.😊

OK so I've also got my fave band Sabaton autographs so that is freaking incredible and amazing!!!!🤗😁🤯🥳 I managed to learn The Black Parade more on piano and am trying to learn more and practice more.😄 I've been back gaming and enjoying it after what felt like ages of having a period of unenjoyment with games but all good and fun again. 🙂 I also had the newest Mha movie on steel book triple play and I been waiting ages for it to arrive and I finally have it!!!☺️

Been a while since I posted here but I felt now was a good time. 

I'm healing, I'm grieving and some days are harder than others. Life is hard and has more uncertainties than ever before. Never lose hope always keep ahold of it and try to laugh and have a person who can wrap their arms around you even from far away and help you get back up on your feet when life has you down. 

I'm an advocate for hope and I won't ever lose hope, I'll keep a tight hold on it.

Peace with you all, look after your minds, be mindful of all the information you take on and don't overload yourself or over work yourself.

Take it easy people!

The Rock Vs AJ Styles "THE GREAT ONE VS THE PHENOMENAL ONE!" Dream Match

A good big mania dream match could be The Great One Vs The Phenomenal One and the marketing has me excited and this is how i would book it. 

Build it up with war of words say like Rock makes an appearance on smackdown a month before wrestlemania to announce something but before he has a chance to say of his announcement. 

Speculation arises online of The Rock retiring from in ring competition following an on set film injury and that he is rumoured to announce retirement ahead of being inducted into the hall of fame. 

The Rock: "So the great one is out here and here tonight to announce something which has been going round in the news and it might be on your minds right now and so i and the wwe family have come to terms on that, that, The Rock will....." 

Aj Styles music hits and he comes out with a mic in hand and he talks walking down the ramp to the ring. 

Aj: "The Rock will be leaving my ring right now, i know, we all know Rock, because THIS IS THE HOUSE THAT A-JAY STYLES BUILT!" 

Rock: "The Rock did not invite you out here short round so do us all a favour and wipe your feet and leave my yard"

Aj: "Whoa now Rocky what are you doing here on smackdown? don't you know this is the house that AJ STYLES BUILT!?" 

Rock be all like "Oh The Rock knows who's house this is and the rock will tell you personally one on one with the great one that this is my hotel i run and layeth the smackdown way before you made a name for youself" 

Aj be like "I made a name for myself when you were off kissing babies and shaking hands trying to make it in hollywood, i've had more 5 star ratings than your whole hollywood career and while you were away those who came before me demolished your hotel and i came and i built the foundations to become the house you stand in today so show me some respect oh great one" 

Rock be like "Kid the rock wont lie you are good and they call you the phenomenal one the rock wants to know if you are what they say you are, the rock wants to see what you got" aj be like "I am phenomenal and i aint no kid, my name is A-JAY.." 

Rock interrupts: "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! I will smack the disrespect out of your mouth and i will lay the smackdown on your candy ass!" 

Aj furious now walking back and fore "You wanna go, come on lets go right here come on!!!" 

Rock: "You want to go one on one? You really want to go one on one with the great one? Alright the fans seems to love this idea BUT the rock aint so sure you got what it takes to take me on kid" 

Aj: "What's wrong Rock? scared i'll ruin your hollywood face, huh? scared of my forearm breaking that face of yours? You scared huh rock? You chicken? Where's the great one you mention a lot of huh? where is he? or is he now a she because you left your balls in hollywood eh Rock?" 

Aj gets real heat, boos abrupt. 

Rock raises his eyebrow gets in aj's face. "The Great One is right here you soccer mom haircut looking son of a bitch" 

Aj hits rock, rock bottom to aj and the rock points at the mania sign and says 

"Great One Vs Phenomenal One, see you at mania bitch" .

Build up promos next few weeks. 

The Great One Vs The Phenomenal One!

Top 10 Wrestlemania Entrances!

It's that time of the year WRESTLEMANIA BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Although Mania has been and gone let's reflect upon some of the best entrances. Let's list up all the best entrances i have seen up to now from the grandest stage of them all!

RULES: 1 ENTRANCE PER MANIA AND 1 ENTRANCE PER WRESTLER! So this will be tough as HHH has so many great entrances and some others but here we go.

10: Shawn Michaels - WM 12

This was so unique and cool HBK jut descending from atop the arena it's one that stands out among the legendary entrances we have seen over the 35 years of mania. 

9: Bray Wyatt - WM 30

Who do you voodoo when Bray Wyatt enters the arena with weird creepy voodo dancing followed by a band of plague doctors playing his theme song. Certainly unique and a fave of mine for the creepy character. 

8: Shinsuke Nakamura - WM 34

A most glorious entrance here which is metal as fuck with Nita Strauss performing aswell as a butt load of violinists to play out The King Of Strong Style himself as the crowd also chants along with the song simply epic. 

7: The New Day -  WM 32

Supersized booty-o's containing saiyan armoured new day? Well it's on this list it's pretty darn sweet to see DBZ and WWE together and i love it, it's something else. 

6: The Undertaker - WM 19

Keep the list on rollin baybeeeeee with American Badass himself being played out by Bizkit. 

5: Stone Cold Steve Austin - WM 13

It's Austin's turn to enter the list, the words "Austin 3:16" appeared on the screen before smashing in sync with his legendary entrance theme. What happened next was arguably the greatest match in WWE history, granting his swagger even more significance.

4: Rusev - WM 31

He came out on a tank played by the national anthem of russia so you know it's a good one!

3: CM Punk - WM29

The final WrestleMania appearance for CM Punk, who would be gone from the company by the time the PPV's next installment rolled into town, and what a way to go out as he took on The Undertaker. Arguably the WWE's standout performer in the two years heading into WrestleMania 29. Living Colour, blasted its most notable song, "Cult of Personality," to the live crowd in New Jersey as it showed appreciation for Punk's suitable entrance music. 

2: Hardy Boyz - WM 33

All was normal in this mania until New Day came and said there's going to be another team in the tag match and it was all so suspenseful until the Hardy's music hit and the place and myself errupted in sheer joy to see an old fave tag team back in the WWE on the grandest stage of them all.  

1: Triple H - WM 21

Metal and epic as fuck HHH has the best entrances no doubt about it on the grandest stage of them all he is the grandest of them all and this time MotorHead played him out was epic. Emerging in the middle of the band whilst they played HHH rose up, spat some water out and went to work.

And that's my list, did any of your faves make the cut? If not comment and let me know your faves. 

Til next time, stay shiny!

My Top 10 Wrestling Entrance Themes (I'd use if i was a pro wrestler)

So for a bit of fun being as I love both wrestling and music, what 10 song's would I use as an entrance theme? Ever wondered what you'd walk out to?

I'll attempt to name 10 and try to deliver what i'd do for the entrance and if i'd be a good guy with that theme or a bad guy. It's going to be a short but fun list. I want you to do your own too! So let's have some fun and let's play this game! One song per band/artist too just to make thing's have more variety :D

10: Scum Of The Earth - Rob Zombie. 

So i'd be a bad guy with this and just in your face heel but disrespectful to and spit at the floor near people and do a bit of headbanging when i get in the ring. You want an autograph sure i'll sign a picture for ohh no I've torn it up what a shame you lose kid. "Hey, I'm breathing, Hey, I'm bleeding, Hey, I'm screaming, Scum of the earth, COME ON!"

9: Up Around The Bend - CCR. 

Face i'd be a fun time guy, dancing singing interacting with audience dancing with them, moving to the groovin around the bend you know. "Come on the risin' wind, We're goin' up around the bend"

8: Walk - Pantera. 

I'd be a tweener i could use this as both heel and face just a simple badass stroll to the ring. You can't be something you're not, Be yourself by yourself, Stay away from me, A lesson learned in life, Known from the dawn of time".

7: I Will Be Heard - Hatebreed. 

Heel disrespectful in your face aggression entrance. "NOW IS THE TIME, FOR ME TO RISE TO MY FEET!"

6: Square Hammer - Ghost. 

Darkness with lights flashing green as the music kicks in i arrive onto the stage corpse face painted and in long black flowing robes, walking holding an urn to the ring and which when i take a lid off it projects a demon in the middle of the ring as i take off my robe and then i put the urn lid back on and all lights are on as normal and i am ready to go. "Still you call on me for entrance to the shrine
Hammering the nails, Into a sacred coffin, You call on me for powers clandestine".

5: Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode

A pastor like character who is a heel he believes he is holier than thou. "Reach out and touch faith!"

4: It's My Life - Bon Jovi. 

Entrance similar to Jericho's but with led jacket saying its my life scrolled across the back and on my shades. Face entrance happy party have fun. "Luck ain't enough, You've got to make your own breaks, It's my life, And it's now or never".

3: Boom Boom Boom Boom - Vengaboys
Proper face happy dance time to get a great fun atmosphere going with the crowd with a classic slice of cheesy partying tune.

2: Indestructible - Disturbed. 

Sirens blare the lights blaze flashing blue as a spot light goes all around the arena and then it kicks in as i exit through the curtain with a hood over my head. Slowly looking round making my way to the ring. A bit of a tweener this one too. When i get to the ring ropes i pull of my hood revealing my face and get in the ring flexing when it says "indestructible master of war".

1: Wherever I May Roam - Metallica.

Start in darkness with smoke covering and soon as we hit the drums the lights flicker to the beat and we get to the 50 second mark of the song and out i come beating my chest to the beat. I'd encourage others to join in and be a face with this song, singing this song as i walk to the ring and around the ring as the lyrics echo "call me what you will" i will be in the ring and the lights will all light up and the smoke will stop.

So that's my list and i'm sticking to it, for now at least, this has been fun, love to hear yours :D

Stay shiny!

Scotties Spotify Top Song Of The Year: So I love music but who doesn't and this year we have been presented with so many tunes and Spotify has kindly helped me in piecing together 3 contenders for my top song of the year and this could mean one of these 3 songs I have listened to the most this year. The nominations are: The Guess Who - Laughing, Jaroslav Beck - $100 Bills and Hugh Jackman & Zac Efron - The Other Side. And the winner is...........THE OTHER SIDE BY HUGH JACKMAN AND ZAC EFRON APART OF THE GREATEST SHOWMAN SOUNDTRACK! A huge surprise hit of the year both film and music wise as it took the nation and our cinemas by storm a well deserved winner.

Scotties Most Listened To Album Of The Year: Many choices here but the one which sticks out the most that I have listened to is my boys of 21 Pilots with their newest album TRENCH! 

Scotties Meme Of The Year: Another year has passed and so has so many memorable, funny and cringey memes but one stuck out the most to me and made the most impact this year and that is.....UGANDAN KNUCKLES! 

Scotties Game Of The Year: Oh this is the big one here with so many contenders this year I will admit I only play PS4 but don't worry I will also have a PS4 exclusive category next up. Right with so many heavy hitting games this year it's a tough choice however the winner is.......RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2! 

Scotties PS4 Game Of The Year: So many heavy hitting contenders here and of course no doubts here that PS4 had the best year in gaming and has the best exclusives but up for this exciting award are the following amazing games: Detroit Become Human, God Of War and Spiderman. These games are all winners let me say that first of all but out of them my fave exclusive this year was.......SPIDER-MAN! 

Scotties Multiplayer Game Of The Year: Not going to lie but this choice was incredibly easy to make granted that i have spent almost 400 hours on the game this year with my bessie mates Jared and James and the winner of course is........FORTNITE!

Scotties Actress Of The Year: Just like the best actor category this year we have seen amazing talented actresses and again for me the one who stood out most is.......TESSA THOMPSON!

Scotties Film Of The Year: So many amazing films this year such as Game Night, A Quiet Place, Upgrade, The Shape Of Water, Bohemian Rhapsody, Searching, Bumblebee, Into the Spiderverse, Infinity War and Deadpool 2 to name but a few of the best we have had this year and so with all of these in mind my overall winner should come to no surprise because of how much love and praise I gave it earlier this year and it was not me either that gave this film a lot of praise, critics and academies alike gave it many awards and without further babbling from me the winner is......THE SHAPE OF WATER!
