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.

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information).  Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch.  The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” .  And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance.  Why ...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

Wrestling Publications And Web Design.

The internet is home to over 50 billion websites and within the pro wrestling niche, there are 60+ established sites that fans click into on a daily basis for news, editorials, reviews, interviews and other exclusive content.  Those websites have four key critical tasks. One, the content obviously. Two, the design and functionality of said sites. Three, just copy what Dave Meltzer said. And four, just make sh*t up.  Creating a site is a different beast. Some use Blogger like this site while others use square-space, Wix, or even code a site from the ground up.  The problem with developing a web page from scratch is that it's time-consuming and you have to learn some mark-up languages like HTML and CSS.  It's essentially a great skill that isn't worth it if you want a site in minutes. Now, the main question is, why am I writing this article in the first place?  When you learn a skill, you tend to have a different view on a product that is connected with the skill ...
