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 is that? Well, firstly the sentence “breaking backs like Bane” makes sense considering that one of his signature moves is called the world's most dangerous slam. At 210 cm and 122 kg (suck on that Americans), Hobbs brings a physical presence that utilizes his strength and power to dominate on his foes hence why he's “powerhouse”. 

Secondly, Will Hobbs’ raw strength has made him persevere in the industry before he joined AEW. Hobbs has been in professional wrestling since 2009 wrestling in various indie promotions across the San Francisco bay area. 

Hell, he even wrestled for WWE once against “beef and booty smacks” Baron Corbin in a dark match on Smackdown 

The dedication and work ethic paid off as he works for the 3rd most valuable promotion in combat sports according to Forbes

And thirdly, Will Hobbs is, at least to me, relatable. He may be the man with the dangerous powerslam but he's just like us, a fan. A fan that went through internal and external struggles in life just like I have while chasing a dream of being, in my case, a successful writer. 

There are times where I've been doing it for like a few years and asked myself “is it really worth it? Is it really worth the fact that nobody cares about what you have to write about with the zero traction you get on a daily basis?” 

And to be honest, I don't know if I can fully say yes because I'm still new to this. However, people like Will Hobbs inspire me to keep going even if the tunnel is dark and a bit fragile. 

Just like the match between Gunther and Sami Zayn at Wrestlemania 40, life can throw you multiple powerbombs but it's presevance that ultimately defines the path to victory. 

That's the Hobbs I appreciate and support on top of being just a dope wrestler. 

On and all, Will Hobbs is a lesson on how we carry ourselves, how we feel good in our abilities to achieve great things and he represents that in every way. 

Hoping you have the speediest recovery, champ because I'll have the biggest smile on my face when you return doing what you do best, break backs.

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...

WWE Wrestlemania 36 Night One | A Coherent Review.

When they announced that Wrestlemania was going to take place in two nights, I was hesitant mainly because I prefer a single show with meaningful matches and not the exact opposite spanned between two shows.  So far, the wrestling Gods proved me wrong. Wrestlemania 36 Night número uno was a great show. WWE gave me an escape that is desperately needed especially in this unique circumstance and I'm sure some of you guys feel this way too. As a tradition on this site, I haven’t seen the pre-show match so I can’t talk about it. Now, on with the review.  Before the show, Stephanie McMahon stated the usual thing. You know "in these times, we will entertain you". They then had the compilation of all the singers that sang America the beautiful which is actually pretty cool.  That led to this year's pirate-themed Wrestlemania opening and it was unique obviously but what makes it different is the humour in it which was fine.  The Kabuki Warriors vs Alexa Bliss And Ni...

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...
