From The Top Rope is a wrestling blog for wrestling fans! Not only will we cover WWE but we will also heavily focus on other promotions! ROH, AEW, NWA and more...come and take a top rope dive with us!
From The Top Rope was created by myself, Ewan McQuade. I am graduate from Staffordshire University with a degree in Film & Television. I've loved professional wrestling from an early age, I used to love catching up on late 2010s WWE with the WWE Experience show on Sky One and from there I have just dived head first into the industry.
I am an established writer at two major wrestling news outlets, WhatCulture and Last Word On Pro Wrestling. It was here that l honed my writing skills and developed a lot of my analytical skills for the art form.

Have all those wrestlers you mentioned get better ratings than Jericho and then you won't see him anymore. Kind of defeats the argument that he should go away and people are turned off by the product if his segments are the highest rated ones on the show.
I first saw Chris Jericho at 1997 Bash at the beach in a cruiser weight match and he never clicked with me… he has been boring to me ever since
Sheamus would be a realistic best case scenario. Multiple time world champion and someone who internet fans have wanted to see outside of WWE.
Yet TV Time segment do well issue is TK Booking and writing is a joke that is it
Chris Jericho was booked way better in WWE. In AEW, Chris Jericho’s gimmicks are terrible and cringe worthy. His Le Champion and Wizard Gimmicks were only 2 good gimmicks he had in AEW, while the others have been hot garbage…
WWE Have booker and a writer AEW have a fan that fantasy writes and books bloke is a joke
Jericho was always overratted, never had main event talent and failed everytime he was pushed as one! Cant stand the guy, his ego is undeserved, as is his fame!!
If you a fake aew fan then don't watch my show
Ur show lol, grow up
I will bear that in mind!
Haha lol
I was at this event in Doncaster, and it was epic, the owner was also there and loved himself too much, I also heard about him not running it very well and taking out loans to run it again under a different company name.im surprised it didn't get bought out after airing on ITV and fire network.
Oh interesting i don't have wwe network i might buy it for clash of the castle.
Him going to new Japan would be best for now,having him cross over for mini feuds with Osprey or even competing in the continental classic would make him feel like the major deal he is and not this shit that he’s had to do in WWE.
Ricochet in the Continental Classic is a GREAT shout!
I could see Ricochet freelance for a bit in NJPW and the Indies to try to raise his stock. People have been conditioned to think of him as a midcarder. Maybe even NOAH instead to completely avoid any semblance of AEW disloyalty heat with WWE.
Completely agree! Whilst not featured as much in the mainstream right now, NOAH would actually be a great place for him to land!
@@fromthetoprope7734 I do feel like the safe and likely path would be AEW. But if his goal is for him to rise up the card in WWE, Noah would be the place that would make Michael Cole be able to say some shit like "he became a world champion in Japan".
Was absolutely buzzing when I heard WWE was coming to Glasgow then I saw the ticket prices!!! "Robbing bastards" can't be justified and anybody that tries to justify it must have more money than sense.
1- bryan danielson vs Swerve strickland world title 2- hangman vs osperay vs orielly vs jay white for internatoinal title 3- takeshita vs cassidy vs pac vs darby vs garcia jack perrry vsmiro ladder for continental title 4- ftr vs young bucks vs lucha bros vs aussei open for tag titles 5- kenny omega vs okada iron man 6- hob vs bcc anarchy in the arena 7- samoa joe vs shibata 8-team mjf eddie kingston ricky starks motor city machine guns vs undisputid kingdom hook vs rush for ftw title
There is no forbidden door in WWE but there is a portal that Jordynne Grace walk through and ... yes WWE is partner with TNA Wrestling it a win for both companies
Got my combo tickets for £370 (block 232). Not cheap I know but nowhere near as bad as it’s made out to be. Tickets for MITB in London were also combo tickets and a similar price. Just to clarify I’m not condoning the ticket prices and I too think they are expensive for what they are, I just think that the expensive tickets are what are left (which will reduce in price closer to the event) and that all the cheaper/more reasonable ticket prices were sold immediately when they went on the sale.
Way to early terrible
Ethan Page and Jordayne Grace Are In WWE!
Agree with your views on the length of the show, and I too would have cut Cassidy/Beretta and the trios match. Would’ve saved MJF’s return promo for Dynamite too. Personally think the FTW match served as a needed palette cleanser though. Overall, still a great PPV without a single bad match. The triple main event delivered, and Ospreay/Strong was phenomenal
What will the merged DEFY Wrestling & Progress Wrestling promotions be called???
TNA Is still amazing in my opinion great matches and and build is next level
Wow that is huge tbh to early to be champion maybe lose then win NA Title Could be huge if then but to early for win in my opinion And Jordayne Grace sounds like TNA and WWE are working together Jordayne Grace needs to win or drop TNA title then have Rox go to TNA It would bring views to both
I want to see BCG vs War Dogs/KENTA Mox vs Mistico Swerve vs Shingo Mox is champion. He's going to be defending the title.
"Promo sm"
A buddy and I splurged for WrestleMania weekend. Stageside lower level for both nights of Mania and "just get in the building" seats for Smackdown and Raw. It was about $1400 each or around £1100 ($1100 for Mania and $300 for SD/Raw). We are local to Philly so no hotels, travel or dining. Just drove to the shows each night in our own cars. I even knew a cheat code for parking from going to sporting events at the same venue so we parked on the street and saved a total of $140 just on parking over the four nights. It was incredible and I don't regret it at all...BUT that's because it's freakin Mania and XL was a generational Mania at that. For a "B" show to be this expensive is just insanity. The Philadelphia area gets tons of live shows and I'm happy that WWE is giving international fans a chance to see some awesome events in-person without having to catch a flight and wreck their sleep schedule BUT if it's only the super wealthy that are going to be able to enjoy these shows, that defeats the purpose. I do believe they have now released single-event tickets for Clash. Triple H said affordability is important to him in a recent "press conference." We'll see about that...
Sad i missed this, i completely forgot about it. Only got into UK indies recently and thought this was happening later in the year 😔
I'm sorry to hear that my friend! Hopefully it will be up on their streaming service if you feel like checking it out! Night 2's main event was INSANELY GOOD!
Nice video bro, you dont get amny people covering UK indies. Keep it up 👍
Thank you for the support! Much appreciated ✊✌️
Hated main event Way to many moves did in a row to will but no will had to go over shame be better if he and Mone lost tbh But enjoyed the rest My top five matches of week 1 Orton vs Gunther 2 Orton vs Tama 3 Will vs Strong 4 Deeb vs Storm 5 Adam vs Malaki
Me personally, I'm all for Mone and Ospreay and champs. I was a big fan of the silly nonsense. Totally here for Anarchy in the Arenas and Stadium Stampedes. I like that these shows have a bit of everything for all tastes in wrestling!
Loved Becky and Liv classic wrestling match and it really got off at the end and great finish triple threat and main event was great , the finish to nia vs Lyra was BADASS and Randy vs Gunther that was truly a classic
The Nia finish will go down as one of the best finishes of the year! And Gunther/Orton slapped!
Idc about long ppvs cuz it starts around 5:30 am here and goes on till 10:30 or 11 am so yeah, not like i gotta sleep or go to work
For me, long PPVs don't really bother me. There's no way I'm staying up to watch them so watching them first thing is always a winner!
Preshow Not bad Liv vs Lynch Enjoyed the chain then blah 1.75/5 Triple threat IC Zayn vs Reed vs Gable Very nice match be interesting at raw 3/5 Nia vs Lyra Lyra did well 1/5 Nia aint great Randy vs Gunther fantastic Orton still selling leg from Tama match amazing Gunther taking out Leg and Back great ending fantastic As now we get a Orton vs Gunther feud 4/5 Cody vs Logan To me no one has ever being as good as Longan that fast 3.8/5 Solid match 3.75/5 nearly a 4/5 I enjoyed a lot I cant wait for Jacob Fatu to join And Tama has being pushed like a boss
1,75/5 and 1/5 are you ok ????
Tate going 0-5 at SSS16 would be unbelievably funny!
Luke Jacobs and Gene Munny once wrestled in the Bread Shed Manchester in a Saw Deathmatch 😂
Shelton going out first round would suck! I'm only able to attend Day 2 so I want to see him wrestle!
My boy Luke Jacobs is winning it all this year!
KC would be cool too
Great minds think alike!!!
You got it my friend!!
Mania will be aboard 2026 I’m guessing Saudi or England
He’s not really proving his point about it being a bad choice of making 2 nights. What if on the royal rumble the first night both royal rumble matches are on one night. Then what’s on the other night???
100% extremely bad. It's a joke. 😠😠😠
I was at Mania 40. My buddy and I shelled out some serious cash for lower level both nights plus Raw and Smackdown that weekend but we're local so we didn't have to pay for travel, hotels, restaurants, etc. What's interesting is since Summerslam moved to stadiums, they've had to tarp sections off. They can't sell the whole place out so I guess they figure they'll try to sell 2/3 of the building twice. 🤷🏻♂️
AEW Mark
THERES DEFINITELY WWE FANS CALLING FOR AEW TO SHUT DOWN MORE THAN ANYTHING
Will you be reviewing this years?
Yes! I'm hoping they release the brackets soon so I can do some predictions for the tournament! I've got my fingers crossed they are live streaming it so I should have them up right after the shows!
@@fromthetoprope7734 the card is now on cagematch bro, we blessed we got some good wrestling this weekend
Raw Priest nope never had many big matches and WWE Use same old for years Zayn Great but what has he did since Awesome Truth again did very little Lynch way to many times boring now Jey Not next champion The 3rd young Buck WM 40 and Backlash AEW Style does not work in WWE but a cath phrase gets over with fans always YA WHAT YEET BLAH Smackdown Cody Got his time but chase over and run course time to turn US Logan I am going to defend often not Paul Waller and Theory again not did much Bayley triple threat was fun but kinda missing something Champions are kinda blah great stories yet Priest aint going to draw Jey would for a week Cody needs to turn perfect time was Double turn against Styles match was great burning hammer spot was a joke mind not to level of Hook still All in champs are not great imo and WWE Is going no where wait til drog under 1m then have that chat
I think HHH has shook the titles up as it was getting very stale and old. With everyone having the longest title reigns. I’m told HHH looks at the bigger picture when story telling so I guess what you’re possibly unhappy with at the moment is just the start of the new story. I imagine we have some “ quick temporary “ champions at the moment as it will help to create these other stories starting. Going to Clash at the castle 🏰, Drew could take title from priest. And have a big title match against punk at SummerSlam. Again might feel slowish at the minute but needed to build up for a bigger SS title match. Or he could have punk interfere and cost him the title. Creating a bigger grudge for Punk v Drew.
I would love to see adam Copeland and Christian cage win tag team titles.
I would love to see Adam Copeland vs orange Cassidy for tnt championship at forbidden door or what you said❤️🤟.
Who do you think MJF could return against?
United Kingdom screw ospreay at DON, United empire v undisputed kingdom and MJF returns and Costs kingdom, leading to MJF v Cole at all in
@@JasonLee-ex5jl oh that’s actually tasty,could maybe bring back the pinnacle for blood and guts
Got to say 1000% please do an AEW one haha I enjoy Cena dog shocked that Roman never got a dog one And that Nia was not to bad Gargano often great and Bron poor guy lol
As a Torontonian, we fell your pain. Tickets here for MITB are ridiculously expensive, especially given the fact that our currency is weaker than the USD or £ so we end up having to pay more. I might end up going to NXT Heatwave though, as the prices are more reasonable.
I haven't actually done that much research into the prices for MITB but I'm sorry to hear they're that high priced! Hope you enjoy Heatwave if you go!
There will be a few local shows on that weekend, it should be good. Then, once you have been to the local shows, go home, grab some pop corn and fire on Clash'. To me, that sounds like a good weekend, fire some mates round, few beers in the comfort of your own home. That sounds good.
Sounds like a plan!
for the price of clash at castle i could go to every indy wrestling event in scotland for next year which i would rather fund than the hydros fat pockets.
