Hey friends across the pond! I’m Paige, from Chicago and I’m super
excited to join the BritWres Review team!!
I’ve been a wrestling fan pretty much my entire life; if I took the
time to look, I’d find photos where a 6 month old me is watching WCW
on my Dad’s lap. Wrestling became our thing for the longest time, but
as with life things change. I am 25 years old, but for a few years
there I refused to watch wrestling because my friends made fun of me.
Thankfully I came back to wrestling as a full time wrestler in 2002
and haven’t looked back.
When it comes to WWE I have had many favorites over the years, a few
being: John Cena, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, The
Undertaker, Trish Stratus, Lita, Molly Holly, Triple H, and Shawn
Michaels. I also grew up adoring Ric Flair and his robes, Diamond
Dallas Page was the first wrestler I remember loving, and Macho Man
Randy Savage was the coolest person on the planet.
I could go back and find my favorite matches from when I was growing
up and list them, but it would be a long list and no one would read
it, so I’ll tell you two two people I to this day think are the
greatest of all time: Trish Stratus and Shawn Michaels. Their matches
are always my favorites. Currently I really love Finn Balor, Seth
Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Bayley, Emma,
Breezango, AJ Styles, Noam Dar and Johnny Gargano. (At least in the
WWE) Outside of WWE, I adore Candice LeRae, Mia Yim, David Starr,
Keith Lee, Joey Ryan and others!
Currently I have been watching a lot more UK Wrestling than anything
else and I’m truly so thankful I am. ATTACK!, ICW, Progress, Fight
Club PRO and others have really been some of the best wrestling I’ve
seen in such a long time. And the fans of the graps I have talked with
and become friends with because of these promotions are so wonderful!
My favorites on the UK scene currently, well there is a damn lot of
them! Pete Dunne is my absolute favorite anywhere. El Ligero is
another guy that I just truly enjoy watching, he’s a lot of fun. Mark
Andrews is a guy on the scene that I just think deserves the whole
world. Mark’s whole story and just his whole persona is something I
resonate with a lot. Tyler Bate and Trent Seven are also two I just
absolutely adore; Tyler being 20 years old still kills me and Trent is
just fun to watch no matter what he does. Toni Storm and Kay Lee Ray
are two woman who I think just are total badasses. I fell in love with
TK Cooper and Dahlia Black and miss them terribly on Progress shows.
Travis Banks is another that just is absolutely killer in the ring.
Jimmy Havoc, Will Osperay, the London Riots, Clint Margera, Eddie
Dennis, Flash Morgan are all lads I think really highly of. And many
more because the scene is absolutely wonderful.
As for UK matches that have been my favorite, I’ll give a few that I
truly enjoyed.
Tyler Bate versus Pete Dunne, NXT Takeover Chicago
I was there for this one live and had goosebumps the whole time. I
knew how good the match was going to be, but it was just so special
and you knew it was one of the good ones the second the bell rang.
Noam Dar versus Jimmy Havoc
Anytime I’ve watched matches of these two I’m held captive.
Trent Seven versus Wolfgang
I just really love this whole feud.
Because I just love this one so much: Angel Cruz, B Cool, and Tyler
Bate versus British Strong Style from OTT.
Super excited to be apart of the team and covering OTT!!
