Kenny Omega. I lost count of how many\ntimes I watched the V-Trigger compilation video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britt Baker. I fell in love with her at All In and I&#8217;ve been\ngoing through her back catalogue for a while now. I love her Slingblade and\nStunner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jushin Liger. Liam suggested a couple of his moves for the\narticle, so watching some of his matches was a lot of fun and I&#8217;ll definitely\ngo back and watch more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other news this week we had the All Elite Wrestling Rally\nand I think we all marked out as this vision came to life. This is one of the\nmost exciting things to happen in the pro wrestling world in a long time. I&#8217;m\nAll In, are you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WWE launched its first overseas Performance Centre. The UK\nis now home to a similar facility to that in Florida. There is a clear\nspotlight on British Wrestling, look out for weekly NXTUK reviews from PWJ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re on the road to the Rumble but there&#8217;s so much going on\noutside of this, I&#8217;ve already forgotten what happened on Raw and Smackdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>@TheCiaranJames<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well another newsworthy week in the fascinating world of\nprofessional wrestling. From WWE to AEW to most importantly, Chaos Wrestling it\nwas very action packed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Opinions were divided concerning AEW\u2019s rally on Tuesday, the\nbiggest news of course was the Khan\u2019s announcement that legend Chris Jericho\nhas signed with the company. His role which I see as a mirror Terry Funk\u2019s\ncirca 1997, when he signed for ECW will to draw attention to the product and\nmake memorable, while also being an mentor to younger talent. Updates seem to\nbe daily at that moment, I think most are awaiting the news of the signing of\nKenny Omega and the eventual reveal of a TV deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I actually tuned into WWE this week, only to see the\nconfrontation between Andrade Almas and Rey Mysterio. It was a gif that drew my\nattention to it, that only leads me to think that WWE should now slowly plot a\nstoryline for a WrestleMania showdown. That feud is money, and in the meantime\nhave Andrade smash through opponents to make him an actual threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I yesterday (12\/1) attended ProWrestlingChaos in Bristol.\nFeaturing a variety of performers and matches the card really stood out,\nespecially since they lost some big names to WWE contracts. Robbie X and Paul\nRobinson made huge impressions last night, they are certainly that type of acts\nto pull in the fans and get more to take notice. My full review will be\navailable on Monday 14\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a class='bp-suggestions-mention' href='https:\/\/prowrestlingjournal.com\/members\/tvtimelimit\/' rel='nofollow'>@tvtimelimit<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Week In Wrestling was incredibly truncated by my shoot\njob of being a teacher. Any plans I may have had to catch up on my pile of\nwrestling viewing were thrown out of the window when my school got a call from\nOFSTED that we were about to be inspected. Between the time involved in\npreparing for that, as well as a visit to a friend with a week old baby, my\nviewing has been few and far between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I did catch up a little bit with wXw, starting with\nsome of the key matches from the 18<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary show. I saw\nAbsolute Andy versus Lucky Kid and Bobby Gunns versus Shigehiro Irie. The title\nmatch was really good up until all the stupidity involving Nick Klein, though\nit was another case of a booking plan for the promotion getting scuppered by a\nlate injury. What would have happened had David Starr got the shot like\noriginally planned, it is hard to fathom, but the pop that Kid got for his \u2018victory\u2019\ndid really highlight how big his 2018 was in terms of elevating his position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Gunns versus Irie, a strong contest with a clean\nvictory for the import. I know that Gunns also lost to him at Road to Back to\nthe Roots \u2013 a match I will also check out soon \u2013 so the third match they have\nplanned seems set up for Gunns to finally avenge the defeats before moving on\nto bigger and better things come 16 Carat Gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WALTER\u2019s arrival in NXT UK was mixed emotionally \u2013 the guy\nshould have a bigger showcase, but he becomes another wrestler I like who has\nbeen swallowed up by the monolithic WWE machine. Still, a feud with Pete Dunne\nlooks a tailor made way for him to come into the company, whilst it also feels\nlike he would be the right person to end Dunne\u2019s long title reign, one where he\nhas rarely been in any position of real danger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>@RoxBlackburn I&#8217;ve spent a couple of weeks researching the best looking moves in wrestling and lost hours on you tube watching compilations of various wrestlers from different promotions.
