Reasons As To Why 2018 Is The Best Year For Women's Wrestling In WWE.


Professional Wrestling in 2018 like anything in life, has its ups and downs. But in my opinion, 2018 is best known for great women’s wrestling and I’m gonna tell you reasons as to why 2018 is the best year for women’s wrestling in WWE because that’s what I’m familiar with. 

Reason #1: The Mae Young Classic 2.

Although the inaugural Mae Young Classic was very good, the sequel was better than the original. That tournament was a joy to watch from top to bottom. 

Michael Cole was actually tolerable on commentary, Rhea Ripley did a complete 180 with her persona but most importantly, the matches were simply amazing. I, unfortunately, didn’t review most of them but I did watch the rest of the tournament so that’s a plus. 

Reason #2: The Women’s Royal Rumble Match and The Women’s Money In The Bank Match.  

Back in the divas era, multi women’s matches were nothing more than the fan’s opportunity to go to the bathroom and even now, the battle royals at WrestleMania for the male and female side feels meaningless for instance, Naomi’s battle royal win at Wrestlemania 34.

However if done right, those matches could be fun to watch and both The Women’s Royal Rumble match and the Women’s Money In The Bank match are obvious great examples. Sasha Banks was the MVP for both matches even though her 2018 was pretty forgettable if you ask me but that’s a different topic. Overall, both are fun matches that I could honestly watch it over and over again. 

Reason #3: Evolution.

Evolution wasn’t my favourite PPV of 2018 but it was a thumbs up show (click here to read my review for Evolution). The opener was solid, the final match to determine the winner of the 2018 Mae Young Classic was pretty good, the NXT women’s championship match was awesome but most importantly that last woman standing match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Live women’s championship. A match so good that it was a lot of people’s favourite match of 2018. Will we see an Evolution 2 in 2019? I hope so but anything is possible. 

Reason #4: Ronda Rousey. 

When you think of great first year like Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles etc, in my opinion, Ronda Rousey is in that conversation. Rousey exceeded mine and everybody else’s expectations ever since her first match at Wrestlemania. Ronda also brought Nia Jax to her best matches. 

One was at Money In The Bank and the other was at TLC. The matches after that with Alicia Fox, Alexa Bliss and Nikki Bella were fine but she ended 2018 with a match of the year contender against Charlotte at Survivor Series. Now that’s a pretty solid first year. 

Reason #5: Becky Lynch.

And the Oscar for most obvious reason goes to…… 

All lame jokes aside, Becky is by far, the most over wrestler in 2018 and right now in 2019. The reason is quite obvious. Ever since her heel turn, she’s had a character renaissance. Becky’s personality combined with huge crowd reactions forced WWE to turn her back to a babyface while maintaining her charisma. Not only her confidence benefit herself but as well as her co-workers and the entire wrestling fanbase. Oh, and her Twitter is great too.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
