Happy New Year to all from your friends here at the Attitude Of Aggression Wrestling Podcast. It is a new year and time for the first Episode of 2016 for the Attitude Of Aggression. Dave leads all of us through a review of the final week of action for the WWE in 2015 and gets everyone ready for the first Raw of 2016 here in Episode 62.
We first look at the final Raw of 2015. Vince McMahon went to jail on this night. How and why did that happen? As big as that happening was, something even bigger happened on Raw as The Face That Runs The Place, John Cena, returned to the ring form the first time since his loss at Hell In A Cell. How did Cena convince the current champion, Alberta Del Rio, to put the United States Championship on the line? And could Cena recapture his belt? We have that plus all the news on your favorites, such as Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Neville and the New Day.
As for NXT, the week was very light as there was not a new show, per se. Instead, we got Part 1 of Corey Graves and Rich Brennan reviewing 2015 in NXT. This was, by far, the biggest year ever for NXT and one begins to get an idea of just how big it was in this weeks episode of NXT. Storylines such as Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn and Bayley vs Sasha Banks are explored. Plus we get the final five minutes or so of a never before seen classic between Neville and Cesaro from the Arnold Classic in Columbus, Ohio. It is an episode worth watching just to gain some scope of what a big year this really was for NXT.
It is then on to the final Smackdown of the year, and the final one to air on the SyFy Network. Did the Blue Brand go out with a bang or a whimper in its last hurrah on SyFy? A bit of both actually? We explain why on Episode 62. Dave then offers his final thoughts on the year that was in 2015 for WWE. Was he optimistic or pessimistic as to how the flag-bearer of sports entertainment did in 2015? Tune in to Episode 62 to find out.
And for you New Japan Pro Wrestling Fans, stick around for the final 10 minutes of the Episode as Dave reveals the winners of Wrestle Kingdom 10, NJPW’s version of WrestleMania. There are definite spoilers here so if you plan on watching Wrestle Kingdom 10 and want to be surprised, be forewarned.
