5 NXT Stars Who Could Win The Royal Rumble

After NXT being an overwhelming success at Survivor Series just a couple of months ago, it has been suprisingly quiet in terms of NXT Superstars declaring themselves as entrants for this years Royal Rumble!  Without a doubt there will be a few significant appearances from the Black & Gold brand, however at BCW we have selected 5 NXT Superstars who we feel could actually win this years' Royal Rumble!

#5 Adam Cole......BayBay

BCW thoughts/notes:  If he actually makes a surprise appearance, realistically he will most likely make final 4 at best, however he is NXT Champion & if WWE want to keep NXT as strong as they were coming out of Survivor Series, there's no better shout than the current NXT Champ!

#4 Demon Finn Balor

BCW thoughts/notes: The Demon is undefeated at WWE Big 4 PPVs thus if involved he would be a huge favourite to win!  Also with the Demon winning the Royal Rumble, WWE could set up a dream/nightmare WrestleMania Main Event of Demon Vs The Fiend.

#3 Rhea Ripley

BCW thoughts/notes: She's been on fire since November and WWE could definitely continue her mega push with a Rumble victory if they wanted to, however sensible betting would be with Baszler or Rousey for the Womens Royal Rumble!

#2 Keith Lee

BCW thoughts/notes: It has been widely reported Vince McMahon thinks very highly of Keith Lee, however it would take a Yokozuna sized push for him to come out on top here, plus after recently being crowned NXT North American Champion, the time may not be right for the win the Rumble, however he's a great shout to eliminate Brock!

#1 Shayna Baszler

BCW thoughts/notes: Well she's our NXT favourite for the Women's Rumble, however it quite frankly depends on if Ronda Rousey is involved.  We feel if Ronda is involved, Rousey wins, if not, Shayna wins!!!

The 15 Greatest Tag Team Finishers Ever

Image
Not since the days of Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The Road Warriors & The British Bulldogs etc. in the late 1980's has there been such a wealth of talented Tag Teams in the world of Professional Wrestling, until now that is!  As the likes of The Young Bucks, The Revival. The Uso's & The New Day are arguably among a best crop of Pro Wrestling Tag Teams to come along since the 1980s "Golden Generation".  Thus with this in mind, we have decided to pick our Top 15 (basically because we couldn't whittle it down to 10 as there are so many great ones!) Tag Team Finishers of all time. Honourable Mention: Shaker Heights Spike (The Beverly Brothers) It wasn't very often we got to see the Shaker Heights Spike, in fact Blake & Beau (The Beverly Brothers) usually only performed the move on local enhancement talent, as on the bigger shows they themselves were regularly jobbed out to more popular teams. The move itself is devastating, Blake would

The 8 Greatest Pro Wrestling Referees Ever

Image
The referee in the world of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment (or whatever you like to call it) is much more than the guy to count the 1,2,3.  In fact he/she is as important, if not more important, than the actual competitors.  What many people don't realise is that the official passes messages throughout the match to each superstar, calls spots & even tells the competitors when it's "time to go home".   As of late, especially in key matches on WWE PPV's, referee's have made some huge errors, blowing the finish to huge matches (Wrestlemania 35's Main Event springs to mind as one of the biggest).  Yes, I know anyone can make a mistake, but there is a fine art to being a good pro wrestling referee & an even finer art to being a great one.  Thus with that in mind, lets take a look at who we believe are the 8 Greatest Professional Wrestling Referees of All Time. Honourable Mentions: Danny Davis, Jack Doan, Teddy Long & Red Shoes Un

10 Ridiculous Wrestling Moves (Non-Wrestling Fans Don't Get)

If you are a lifelong Wrestling fan like myself you will have, I am sure, on hundreds of occasions had to defend your love of the business.  The old..... "It's not FAKE! It's predetermined" argument springing to mind!!!  Anyway, we all have made our different arguments trying to explain why Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment is brilliant to a non-wrestling fan mate who bins you off telling you "It's for kids" etc.  However sometimes the thing we all love most is just impossible to defend to the non-wrestling fan! With this in mind, here are 10 Ridiculous Wrestling Moves (Non-Wrestling Fans Don't Get)  #10 Ric Flair Flop I know this is not a move per se, but it is classic Ric Flair signature (which I adore) but show it to a mate who does not like wrestling, and you won't win your argument! #9 Judas Effect Credit: AEW Controversial choice, but this just isn't a finisher for me!  Jericho has a much better
