The final part of my Road to #WrestleMania X8 rebooking series is done.
I'll leave you to decide if it's better than what we got in reality back in 2002, but I can promise you there are no YouTube stars or NFL punters in sight! benrogers223.substack.com/p/missed-opp...
As fans deal a dreadful build to #WrestleMania this year, I've continued my look back on 2002, which was far from brilliant either.
This entry covers off No Way Out 2002 and (hopefully) turns it from a piss-poor show, into one for the ages! benrogers223.substack.com/p/missed-opp...
Am I the only one that felt like the Road to #WrestleMania X8 needed some serious work?
Having recently rewatched, I took it upon myself to try righting some of the wrongs 👀
Part one starts with the Rumble… open.substack.com/pub/benroger...
Wireless Festival has had an absolute shocker so I couldn't help but take aim in my latest blog post.
It covers:
👀 My worst gig cancellation experience
😡 The Kanye bigotry timeline
🤦♂️ The ironic figure who stood against Labour's decision to ban West from the UK
King of the Ring 2000 was atrocious so it's probably unsurprising it's next in the Missed Opportunities series.
What do you think of my rebooking of a card that could've been so good, but was utter shite? #WWE benrogers223.substack.com/p/missed-opp...

Fairly sure this is less a post drink welcome committee, and more of a “leave me alone, I’m sleeping” 😂
This week saw trans girls told to leave the girl guides and trans women athletes banned from Olympic events. It's horrendous!
In the blog: Trans rights are human rights. Equality means equality - not equality for the majority. Oh, and fuck J.K Rowling 🤢 benrogers223.substack.com/p/the-not-al...
Absolutely loved seeing Waterparks again this week. Incredible set and loved seeing them give fans the choice of songs they'd play. Makes a change from the usual rigid setlist most bands stick to 👏
Greywind killed it too, check them out! Full review 👇

Much like Triple H in 2001, the quad is off #ARSMCI
Better late than never by my review of #AEWRevolution 2026 is now live and it has to be said... what a show!
Several matches that will no doubt make the MOTY shortlist, more returns than you can shake a stick at, and new champions too. AEW nailed it! benrogers223.substack.com/p/aew-revolu...
Thanks, appreciate it
It might be my birthday but she’s still the centre of attention around here
Loved seeing Punk Rock Factory DM me on IG thanking me for my review of their great Bristol show last weekend. Such great lads, check them out if you've not seen them live yet!
France did well to make the score respectable but don’t let that take away from how dominant and clinical Scotland were for the majority of the game.
50-40 is insane, everyone but Shaun Edwards will have found something to enjoy in that one! #SCOvFRA #6Nations
Scotland are absolutely battering France here. 26 ahead and now France down to 14 for 10 mins!
This is why #6Nations is the greatest tournament. The narrative that England vs France would be a Grand Slam decider couldn’t have been more wrong #SCOvFRA
It's been a rough week but for once I've been able to take solace in British politics... no, that isn't a typo!
My latest blog covers the historic Green Party by-election win and how the Reform UK bigots threw their toys out the pram: benrogers223.substack.com/p/the-not-al...
When I started my blog, I didn't plan on rebooking events. Yet here I am, having recently rewatched WrestleMania 2000, feeling the need to right some wrongs.
What do you think of my updated version of the show? Surely it's better than the original? benrogers223.substack.com/p/missed-opp...

I usually try to mask my political blogs slightly and focus on the issues - but this one might as well be called Farage and Braverman are bigoted pricks.
If you agree, enjoy. If not, I'm probably not the blogger you want to follow anyway... benrogers223.substack.com/p/the-not-al...
Well #AEWGrandSlam delivered and then some! Proof that it's not just on PPV where AEW shines!

Kicking off with Moxley vs Takeshita is such a flex… #AEWGrandSlam Australia is shaping up to be an all-timer 👀
What a show! A strong card that over-delivered, title changes, narrative progression and truly unpredictable outcomes.
Thank god for the alternative to the sports entertainment status quo. AEW keeps going from strength to strength and I’m seated, ready for more! #AEWDynamite
Catching up last night’s #AEWDynamite and it’s started off hot! Kenny vs Swerve set up for Australia and a great trios match to kick-off.
Ciampa vs Fletcher next so assuming this show is set to get even better 👀
My take on #valentinesday is a con that can get straight in the bin… open.substack.com/pub/benroger...
Against my better judgement, I tuned into the #RoyalRumble last night. Sadly, I left feeling mostly underwhelmed at what was traditionally my favourite WWE event of the year.
