The celebrity factor has had a huge influence on the success of WrestleMania ever since it's inception in 1985.  The very first WrestleMania boasted mainstream household names such as Muhammed Ali, Mr T & Cyndi Lauper & ever since then WrestleMania has become the home to many major celebrity cameos, however only a handful have made more than 1 appearance.  With that in mind, we have decided to look at the 11 celebrities who have appeared at the "Showcase of the Immortals" multiple times. #11  Flo Rida - 2 Appearances American Rapper, Flo Rida has made 2 WrestleMania appearances to date.  He performed his hits, "Wild Ones" & "Good Feeling" at WrestleMania XXVIII, then 5 years later he returned to perform  "Green Light" with Pitbull & Lunchmoney Lewis at WrestleMania 33. #10  Kid Rock - 2 Appearances  Like fellow musician Flo Rida,  Kid Rock has appeared twice at WrestleMania.  His first appearance was Wrest...

WWE prides itself on safety these days, but that wasn't always the case!  With that in mind, let's take a look at 10 classic wrestling maneuvers WWE has since banned their Superstars from performing! #10 Doomsday Device Finishing maneuver of The Road Warriors/Legion of Doom, where Hawk would perform a top rope clothesline knocking his opponent off his partner Animal's shoulders in the process.  It takes skill (mainly from the performer taking the bump) to avoid injury on the landing from the Doomsday Device, unfortunately a lot of enhancement talent in the 90's lacked said skill, thus the move was pretty much retired after LOD left the company, with the exception of the Dudley Boys performing it occasionally during their first run with WWE. #9 Piledriver The Piledriver was a devastating finisher/signature move right up to the mid 2000's in WWE, although it had become a watered down version by the end.  The move was made famous by the likes of Wi...

We are only a few weeks away from Wrestlemania, which means speculation is rife (as usual) as to who will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year, and so far we already know D-Generation X & The Honkytonk Man are the first 2 inductees to the Class of 2019. With this in mind let's take a look at 5 WWE Hall of Famers that WWE would not have inducted, if they knew back then, what they know today! #5 Donald Trump Let's begin with an easy one..... The 45th President of the United States of America, and arguably the most hated man on the planet..... Donald Trump!  Need we say any more? #4 Tammy "Sunny" Sytch Sunny was a huge star in the WWE back in the mid 1990's, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.  The blonde bombshell took the business by storm elevating any individual or team she accompanied to the ring in the process.  Arguably WWE's first sex symbol, Sytch paved the way for future WWE pin-ups such as Sa...

Unfortunately at BCW we can't watch wrestling all day long..... We've got families, jobs, travel & other stuff that require us, well, not to sit watching wrestling all day!  However, although we can't actually watch wrestling whilst doing said things, we can still listen to other people talk about wrestling as we go about our daily business!  Thus with that in mind, here are our (current) top 5 favourite Wrestling Podcasts.   #5 We Watch Wrestling Die hard wrestling fans, Matt McCarthy (former WWE writer) & Vince Averill, who also happen to be great stand up comedians, talk all things wrestling.  These absolute legends give their opinions of the current wrestling scene and throw in great stories from their own personal experiences for good measure.  We only discovered these guys lately, but are huge fans already!   *We actually discovered these guys when listening to our favourite non-wrestling podcast My Favorite Murder, as o...

It's been a while since Professional Wrestling fans have had the chance to get excited about the release of a movie based on the thing we love the most (wrestling).  Well that is until now, as Fighting With My Family hit the theatres in the US, although as we're based in the UK we have another few painstaking days to endure until we can catch it in the local cinema! Fighting With My Family is the knockout comedy based on the incredible true life story of WWE Superstar & former WWE Diva's Champion Paige.  The comedy biopic is written and directed by Stephen Merchant (The Office), produced by The Rock and has already been gaining great success at the box office along with critical acclaim in the US, with the UK release set for February 27th where you can be guaranteed it will be a big hit also (as it is the story of a British Icon, written by a British Comic)! Anyway while we wait for the release in UK we will have to make do with some of our old favourites, there...

The road to Wrestlemania continues with the first PPV since the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber.  I've mixed emotions about this up coming Elimination Chamber event, as to be perfectly honest, I'm not really invested in any of the storylines and some of the matches almost feel pointless as we already know certain performers pretty much guaranteed to still be champion heading into Wrestlemania.  That is unless WWE are pulling the ultimate swerve and are planning on putting the Raw Women's Championship on Ruby Riott, for her to headline Wrestlemania, but I guess we all know that's not going to happen! Any way to get in the spirit of all things Elimination Chamber, I have decided give my predictions, even though this is possibly the most predictable PPV of the year!  But hey, you can only play the hand you're dealt!  Thus, to make things a bit more interesting I've thrown in the odd curve ball for good measure.....
