The Beat Down of The Shield - Source WWE 

We open the show with talking as per usual. This time the show begins with Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, and Drew Mcintyre. They talked a bit until The Shield showed up and things got heavy. The Raw Roster ran down to stop them, and they started to fight, and then the whole crew was in the ring trying to stop The Shield. Yeah, it was a big brawl, and the six guys were being held down by the rest of the Raw roster. That’s right, the whole Raw roster was having a hard time containing six guys. This is how we start Raw. Sigh.

The Shield got arrested and thrown into a van.

The Bellas defeated The Riott Squad

This was bad. Like really bad. The Bellas had ring rust, and they buried The Riott Squad. So that was that. SO much for in ring talent, and let’s just go with “looks”, right? Well that’s that.

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

Well, the Ascension is now done. Another burial folks. Gable and Roode won an easy match here, and it was fun to see, but come on, The Ascension is nothing but a joke here.

Elias Came Out and of course it was stopped.

Alexa Bliss came out and talked, then Elias was going to help her with a song, and nope. Ronda Rousey showed up. Ugh, more talking. I’m so tired of a wrestling show that just talks and talks, and doesn’t have a lot of wrestling. Natalya came out as well.

Alexa Bliss defeated Natalya

Natalya loses a short match here. Alexa Bliss got help from her friends on this one, and then made Natalya tap out with an arm bar. Not a great match at all.

After the match, Ronda got her knee taken out and Alexa tried to beat her up, which worked for a second, but Ronda got the better of her, and she ran off. Their match is going to be another squash, I’m sure. This was awful to me.

Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler defeated The B Team

Well, that was something. Not a long match, but a little back and forth for sure. Ziggler was able to get a good deal of offense, and Mcintyre was able to hit some nice moves as well. Either way, you’re going to find that this gives the two bad guys gold, and they will most likely defend and lose to the Shield, right? Yeah. Anyways, this was lame. The B Team’s time is over, and they are now going to be relegated back to jobber status, I hope.

AOP buries Jobbers

Meh. Drake Maverick is now their manager. Meh

Shawn Michaels Talked

The Undertaker showed up and talked, and the two were talking. I’m telling you guys, so much talking, and not enough wrestling is killing Raw these days.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Ember Moon and Dana Brooke

I don’t know what this was, other than a simple, slow moving, short match. There was a few moments that were interesting, but it looks as though Dana Brooke is over Titus Worldwide, and is going solo. Moon didn’t get much offense, and Brooke took the pin. Women’s revolution eh? Short matches are back folks.

Jinder Mahal Talked.

This was another talking segment and it featured Bobby Lashley. However, in the middle of a meditation thing, Kevin Owens stormed the ring and beat up Lashley for apparently no reason. Then Jinder got a beat down from Lashley, and well Owens was standing tall, screaming, and apparently didn’t quit after all, right? Meh. The prize fighter has no prize, and he is just picking fights with random people. Meh.

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor

This was a back and forth match, and it wasn’t half bad. Strowman would get the win here, after a lot of action from Balor, who did his best to get through the motions of the match. He was supposed to fight Baron Corbin, but instead, he had to fight off Strowman here, and well, it was not an easy match for him. Strowman got the win with his powerslam, and that was that.

After the match, the Shield returned in a police van, and were ready to attack, but they couldn’t, because the heels of Raw came down to beat them up and then drag them to the aisle way. That is that. I don’t like the Shield, honestly, and well, this night on raw, they got those hands and were left for dead. Meh.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 6, 2018 Results and Review

Ronda Rousey Makes Her WWE Raw Debut - Source WWE 

Just when you thought you tuned into a wrestling show, two dorks come to the ring, and start to jibber jabber. That’s right, we open the show with Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin talking. Great. Roman Reigns came out and starting to join the guys in a Jib Jab session.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 6, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin

The opening match was setup from the talking, and it wasn’t that great, as you’d expect. Roman and Corbin did do battle, and it wasn’t too bad at first glance, but when Corbin couldn’t put the Big Dog away, he decided to walk. That led Finn Balor to come out, and that caused Corbin to go back to the ring and get hit with a Superman punch as he was trying to get back in. How wasn’t he counted out? Reigns hit that spear and we saw Corbin lose to Reigns, because, of course we did.

Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley

Wow, a good Mojo match? Yep, looks like Mojo steps out of the shadow of former football players, and others that want to get into Pro Wrestling, because he put up a good fight against Bobby Roode. However, the wiley Roode was able to garner a great deal of offense, and eventually get Rawley caught up in a frenetic finish, with a nice DDT to end it. It was glorious, no doubt, and it was the end of the match, clean as a sheet. Rawley’s win streak ends here.

Elias Got A Beat Down

Elias got a beat down from Bobby Lashley, so that was that. Lashley got the better of him, and that was that. That’s all I can say about this. It was lame.

The Kevin Owens Show

Well, another non-wrestling segment. Right now my computer has no sound because the sound card fried, so I have to just watch these idiots try to entertain. The funny part was that at one point the stage seemed to take a bump and then tipped over completely! You know why? It was Braun Strowman, he tipped over the stage for no reason! Lol. Oh well. I’m tired of this. I’m going to the bathroom. After this, Bruan Strowman went to the ring and apparently was supposed to fight Jinder Mahal.

Jinder Mahal defeated Braun Strowman

Well, they sure hindered Jinder now. Jinder won, again, although because Owens interrupted the match, if you can call it that. This is hindering Jinder, if you ask me.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins

Of course they did! They always seem to do this with the wrong people. If this was John Cena or Roman Reigns, Ziggler and McIntyre would’ve lost. But not this time, the show was all Rollins trying to survive, and just couldn’t make it happen. Rollins did throw down a lot of great points of contention, but not enough to make this worthwhile, as he lost after the numbers game kept going through the motions, and that was that. Rollins is always fun to watch, even when he’s getting a beat down, lol.

The Revival versus The B Team Ended in A No Contest

This match didn’t get too far along before The Deleters of Worlds showed up and laid them all out. Ok, well that was short, and sweet, and honestly, I didn’t care any longer. The WWE has taken an amazing thing and made it into a watered down Kool Aid solution that is just not worth while for me or anyone else for that matter.

The Riot Squad defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley

This again? Ok, well this wasn’t a terrible match. Things were going well for the best friends, but it turned out that a masked woman in a hoodie showed up and caused a distraction. That led to the famous distraction roll up, and that led to a Morgan pinfall, and that was that. The person under the hood? It was none other than Ruby Riott! She’s back and she helped her girls get the win here!

Ronda Rousey defeated Alicia Fox

Well, did anyone really think that Ronda Rousey was going to lose in this match? Alicia Fox had barely any sort of offense here, and Ronda would eventually lean back and basically break Fox’s arm. Even with Alexa Bliss outside, that wasn’t enough, and well, Rousey won huge. Rousey is going to end up just team rolling everyone, that’s it. A good match this was not, and well, Alexa Bliss is on the radar next, isn’t she? Rousey wins, and that’s really the story that WWE wants to tell right now. I like Rousey, but she’s going to need more competition, and get less winded in the ring. She was truly winded after a short match, and you could tell in the post match interview. Alexa Bliss tried to attack, but was thwarted fast. That was the end.

Raw was not great, it was kind of boring at times, had a lot of talking, and didn’t make full use of a lot of the people that they have on the roster. I didn’t hate this episode, but it had a lot of filler. Bliss is running scared right now.

WWE Monday Night Raw June 11, 2018 Results and Review Things Keep Going Down

This Is What Raw Needed? - Src wwe dot com

Here we go, another edition of Raw, and this time around, I was able to watch and review it! Yay! If you follow this blog, you will know that I will be at Money In The Bank and NXT Takeover this weekend in Chicago! That’s right, I will be there, and it should be a lot of fun. I’ll take pictures for this website. Anyways, let’s discuss the crappy, or rather terrible Raw that came through.

WWE Monday Night Raw June 11, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show was a throw back to where everyone was on their ladder talking with microphones and it was a mixed bag of men and women. This was stupid.

Natalya defeated Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, and Ember Moon

Perhaps one of the best moments of the show was this match. This was a good women’s match, and it had a lot of back and forth action, and some good hits throughout. Ember Moon is so good, Bliss, Banks, and Natalya all have great offense, and there was a lot of counters here before Natalya would get the big win. I hope she gets the briefcase at this point.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Breezango

This was a jobber match, and burial for the most part.

Roman Reigns defeated Sunil Singh

We were told that Jinder Mahal was going to face off against Roman Reigns, but he didn’t. Instead, Sunil Singh was in there and he got buried. But after Jinder hit Roman with his finisher and left him laying in the ring. Jinder will lose at Money in the Bank, mind you.

The B Team defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

I’m glad that one member of the Nexus and Rhyno are getting big paychecks, while The B Team is getting a push, only to lose this Sunday, right? I don’t know, this was a squash match.

Seth Rollins broke Elias’ guitar.

Oh, ok.

Ruby Riott defeated Bayley

This was a great match! Riott is such a fun woman to watch in the ring, and Bayley is always good when they let her really wrestle. It was fun, back and forth, and Riott won the match with a little help from her friends. I loved this, and it was definitely worth checking out. Perhaps the best match of the night! Go back and see this one and see how Riott and Bayley were able to throw down a good match on a crappy Raw.

Ronda Rousey made Nia Jax Tap Out

Yeah, that’s exactly what happened, nothing to see here.

No Way Jose defeated Curt Hawkins

Curt Hawkins dressed up like someone in the No Way Jose party, then got beat down and he lost again. That was that.

Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley in an Obstacle Course

This is what wrestling was missing! This was the worst ever. Just stupid.

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and Bobby Roode

This was a very good main event, with lots of action, including Roode, Balor and Owens hitting Strowman with their finishers, only for him to kick out. Too bad he can’t beat Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar. This was a good match, what can I say? Strowman would win, but he took a beating from all other men in this match, and it’s clear to see that he’s going to be getting close to winning the big ladder match this weekend, but will most likely not get the big win.

This night of Raw was abysmal when you compare it to the New Japan Show, and that’s that.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 30, 2018 Results and Review Too Many Hours

Flight of Rollins - Src WWE

Well, sometimes I want to publish reviews on time, and there are a lot of things that get in my way. This week, a lot of work had to get done, and I didn’t have enough time to write all the reviews that I wanted to write, so they had to wait until now. So here we go, a full rundown of Raw, Smakcdown, and NXT done in 3 consecutive posts, because I didn’t have time to just do one sit down solution. Oh and I’ll review 205 Live as well, all in one sitting, because I saw them all at once, and I’m late on posting this today.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 30, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of Raw saw The Big Dog show up and stink up the yard. He talked about his loss to Lesnar and how it was lame, or whatever. I don’t know, I don’t pay much attention to what Roman Reigns says.

Elias defeated Bobby Roode

A good back and forth match was being had here, especially after Elias did a little singing. But of course, Roode would interfere with the performance, and the two would battle in a good television match, but there was a weird ending in which Roode was thrown into the post and pretended it hit his larynx but it didn’t, and the replay showed that, it was laughable to me. Elias would get the win because the match stopped.

The Authors of Pain defeated Two Jobbers

This was done fast, the Authors of Pain beat up two jobbers and that was that.

Ruby Riott defeated Sasha Banks

Ruby Riott is really good on the mic, she’s a great wrestler, and she put Sasha Banks through the ringer, eventually picking up a win thanks to her buddies. Either way, this was a fun match, and I loved watching it go down. Riott is so much fun inside the ring, and I can’t wait to see more of her in action. Plus, she’s from Indiana, so what’s up! I’d love to meet her.

Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Jinder Mahal

Oh, I forgot about this note earlier. The opening had Owens, Zayn and Mahal show up and give Reigns a beat down before he got saved by Lashley and Strowman. Yeah, logic got thrown out the window for this one. Roman Reigns and his team of good guys beat down Owens, Zayn, and Mahal, even though the Montreal crowd was going nuts for them the whole time. I couldn’t believe how this all was going down, and well, you knew what was going to happen, as they wouldn’t let the faces get a loss here, even though they should’ve lost.

No Way Jose defeated Baron Corbin

This was a lackluster wrestling match, with Corbin getting a pinfall loss against Jose. I didn’t hate it, mind you, but it wasn’t good, and No Way Jose had to get a quick roll up.

Natalya defeated Mickie James

This had Ronda Rousey come out with Natalya and the match wasn’t too good, but it sufficed to have a few minutes of action. Natalya won, but it wasn’t that great, and it was forgettable to me. Ronda Rousey is going to need to get into the ring again, and it will most likely be against Mickie James and Alexa Bliss.

Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor in the Intercontinental Championship Match

This was a fast paced match and the two threw down everything they had. I loved Balor’s shotgun dropkicks, and Rollins constant flow with his moves, with the crowd going insane at everything that the two were doing. Even though Balor threw in a great push, and Rollins was able to garner a great deal of moves, it wasn’t meant for Balor to win here and he lost yet again. Rollins would get the victory and that was that.

Overall, Raw wasn’t that great. It had some great moments, like that final match, and the Miztourage trying to get Balor and Rollins to let them join their team. It was funny.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 23, 2018 Results and Review The A Show Drags On

Riott Squad Flying - SRC WWE 

If you were to claim that the status quo was going to return to the WWE after WrestleMania, you were right on. This night of Raw was par for the course in many ways. I didn’t think it was terrible, but it definitely wasn’t that grand. I was laughing at some points, and overall, there are some good things to talk about, but was it a great night of Raw? Nope!

WWE Monday Night Raw April 23, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened with a 10 Bell Salute for the latest fallen WWE legend, Bruno S. Legend in every way you can define it.

Roman Reigns confronted Brock Lesnar after Lesnar was jumping around the ring and having Heyman talk to him. This was boring, and I’m so sick of Lesnar in WWE. I don’t like Reigns, but I hate Lesnar at this point.

Elias defeated Bobby Roode

Onto the first match of the night, a competitive bout with Elias getting the better of the Glorious One. Smart move by Elias getting Roode’s shoulders caught up in the ropes, then yanking for a quick roll up and a pinfall victory. As far as in ring psychology is concerned, this was a good match, but it was short and just kind of ended etc. Elias is great, I love him, and Roode is a great technician, so this may be the start of a longer program.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated The Ascension

Guess what? Paige Here! I kid. Wyatt and Hardy buried the Ascension. It was what you’d expect.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Titus Worldwide

Well, Apollo Crews has his last name back. Other than that, this was a terrible match with a focused ending that was great. Ziggler and Mcintyre’s finisher is awesome, but other than that, they are burying another tag team, as this wasn’t competitive at all.

Chad Gable defeated Jinder Mahal

WWE Raw is now officially Hindering Jinder! Gable put on a fight after getting blindsided by Jinder, but eventually succumb to the onslaught that the bigger man was throwing down. Gable would throw in some good offense here and there, and would eventually outsmart the big man whom’ tried to get his finisher on him. The classic back bump into a cobra clutch pinfall was great here, and it made Chad Gable smarter than Jinder Mahal on this night, which I loved.

Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

Oh, before this match was even a thing, they had the Kevin and Sami Show or something. It was ok at best, but it was just the two rambling on about random topics. Kurt Angle put them in a match and this was it. Lashley started things out and it wasn’t too bad, Zayn getting beat down for most of the match, but then Strowman tagged in. Strowman is a one man wrecking crew and was able to really knock down the duo, and eventually would get the pinfall. Strowman and Lashley could very well run rough shot through the tag division, and I don’t mind it.

Baron Corbin attacked No Way Jose

No Way Jose was supposed to battle Baron Corbin, but instead, he get a beat down at the top of the ramp. Is this the way that they are going to bury No Way Jose? So soon?!

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor defeated The Miztourage

Well, the Miztourage again gets buried. Earlier in the show they tried to join Seth Rollins and then they tried to form their own Balor Club, but it didn’t work. The two ended up getting beat down, and that’s the end. Jobbers today, and jobbers tomorrow. A filler match with no real repercussions.

Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and The Riott Squad defeated Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Natalya, and Ember Moon via Disqualification

I loved this main event match, and it featured 10 women that really know how to work today. The action was crisp, there was some back and forth, and aside from Natalya looking like she had a legit knee injury, I was all in for this one. Nia Jax squashing 5 women off the apron was fun, and watching the women work is always fun. The match would be thrown out when Ronda Rousey came down to help Natalya, as she was getting a beat down from Mickie James, and apparently was injured.

Overall the night of Raw was good, it just felt very long. The Moment of Bliss PSA was funny, and the backstage antics of The Miztourage was great too. I had a lot of fun with the show, although there seemed to be a lack of decent story line progression with the matches, but I guess that’s the case with Raw sometimes.

Smackdown Live April 10, 2018 Results and Review

Daniel Bryan Flies - src WWE 

Smackdown after Wrestlemania should be good, right? Well, I don’t know, maybe? It’s only an hour or so show, not 2 hours as some people think, so let’s discuss how it went down. I’m a little jaded, I’ve seen 30 some odd hours of wrestling, including all independent shows, ROH, and so much more. With that in mind, let’s take into consideration the following night of Smackdown.

Smackdown Live April 10, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon announced Paige as the New General Manager for Smackdown Live.

I didn’t mind this at all. It was ok. I guess people love Paige, and since she retired, they love her even more. I’m indifferent.

The Usos defeated The New Day

The Usos threw down another great match against The New Day. It was a good match with a lot of back and forth. I didn’t hate this one, and I didn’t think it was that good either. It had some bright spots, but it’s painfully obvious that the New Day may have run their course and it’s time to give these guys a singles push on their own. The Usos are great, fast, and remind me of the GOD in NJPW only smaller.

Naomi defeated Natalya

Not bad, a good overall match that was fun to watch. This was fast paced, had a few counters, and really put together a swift women’s match that is somewhat forgettable, but not too bad. I liked it enough.

Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair for the Women’s Championship

After Peyton Royce and Billie Kay showed up and said they are taking over, and beat up Flair, out came Carmella. Carmella threw down her Money In The Bank Briefcase and hit a super kick on Flair and pinned her. She won the title, without the help of Ellsworth this time, and it was a fun thing to see. Carmella is your new champion, and the crowd went nuts for it. Peyton Royce and Billie Kay are different now, I think they may have breast implants, but hey, what do I know?

Randy Orton defeated Bobby Roode and Rusev

Oh my lord this again? Randy Orton is in cruise control, going through the motions of being a wrestler and not caring. Roode is good, but it’s obvious that he needs a better wrestler to work with. Jinder Mahal was at ringside and the winner would get a shot at Backlash. I was hoping for Roode to win, but nope, Orton won this match and that was that. I can’t say too much about this match, as it wasn’t my favorite, but it was adequate to move the night forward I guess. Rusev Day is so over, and yet the WWE doesn’t want to push him, I don’t know why.

Aj Styles vs. Daniel Bryan ended in a no Contest

The next match was interesting, and it featured Daniel Bryan and Aj Styles doing what they did best. They were able to get through a lot of motions and focused on stellar back and forth wrestling. It was a better match than the Nakamura match at Wrestlemania, at least for what it was. Then out came Shinsuke Nakamura and hit Bryan and Styles with a knee, and then low blowed Styles. That was the end, Nakamura looking tall, and that’s that.

Smackdown was ok. It was short, which I liked, but the whole thing just seemed phoned in. I wonder where guys like Ziggler, Tye Dillinger, and so many others were. Oh well, I guess that’s the end of the week of wrestling, oh no, here’ comes 205 Live, Ring Of Honor, and Joey Janela’s reviews that I have to write still. Oh well. This was ok at best.

WWE Smackdown Live March 27, 2018 Results and Review The B Show of All B Shows

Nakamura Flies - SRC wwe dot com

If ever there was a way to prove that Smackdown was the B show, it definitely proved itself to be the case here with this show. I couldn’t care about this show and I get paid to watch! Whatever the case may be, you’ll find that this show wasn’t grand, and yet it had a lot going on for such a short show. Let’s get into the action here.

WWE Smackdown Live March 27, 2018 Results and Review

Jinder Mahal and Rusev defeated Randy Orton and Bobby Roode

Since Roode and Orton beat down the only healthy Singh brother he couldn’t compete. So what he did instead was got Rusev to be his partner on this very special Rusev day! The two worked very well together, and while Roode and Orton couldn’t get along, Rusev took advantage with a solid Machka Kick and boom, Mahal and Rusev would get the pinfall victory here. A short tag match, but it would be good for Rusev, because he will now be in a fatal fourway for the United States championship.

Becky Lynch defeated Ruby Riott

Becky Lynch was wearing a very unflattering ring leotard, and Ruby Riott proved yet again why she is so good in the ring. She is fast, she knows her stuff, and is well timed against Lynch. Lynch would get a quick roll up victory but Riott held her own throughout, and really did a great job with Lynch throwing down some great moves here and there. After the match the Riott squad would get beat up a little and that was that.

Daniel Bryan Will be At Wrestlemania

There’s not much to say about this one.

The New Day vs. The Bludgeon Brothers

This wasn’t great at all, as it ended in chaos. The Bludgeon Brothers and the Usos clashed outside, and the New Day clashed, and it was a big melee. Nothing to see here.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Tyler Breeze

Dolph Ziggler buried Tyler Breeze in a short match, which was really just boring to me. I don’t know why they keep putting these terrible matches on. Breeze loses, Fandango gets caught up outside with a superkick, and that’s that.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Shelton Benjamin

AJ Styles was outside for this one and was protecting Nakamura in a lot of ways. He would help get Gable away from the ringside area, and let Nakamura get a fair shot against Benjamin. Shelton Benjamin is a great performer, and Nakamura is good in many ways, but this match wasn’t that great at all. It suffices to be an ok encounter with a predictable finish where Nakamura wins.

After the match Styles got into the ring and was getting beat down by Benjamin and Gable then Nakamura came in and cleared house but didn’t beat up Styles, though he could have, and that was that.

Smackdown overall was the B show in every way possible. It didn’t feel like Raw, and after the NJPW show I saw this past weekend, I don’t know if Smackdown is going to live up to the hype on its weekly showcase. It’s a bit short, and boring.

WWE Smackdown Live March 6, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Cannot Get Worse

Styles Delivers - source wwe dot com

There cannot be a worse show than Smackdown. It’s simply a terrible progression that you know you hate, but you won’t admit it. I couldn’t believe how bad this thing was, but then again, I could believe it because I keep seeing this occur over and over again. At least we didn’t get a six woman tag team match again, right? Let’s discuss how this all went down for a moment.

WWE Smackdown Live March 6, 2018 Results and Review

Charlotte Flair and Ruby Riott Cut Promos

These two women cut promos and that’s it. The two went through scripted lines and it was awkward as hell. I didn’t like the performances here, and I can’t believe it didn’t turn into fisticuffs. The show was simple enough, and it worked for what it was. At the end of the day, this was just filler to me. Bobby Roode interrupted everyone and then we cut to commercial.

Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton

I called this one. I thought that the Fastlane match would turn into a triple threat, and maybe it still will happen. Other than that, we saw Jinder Mahal get the pinfall after Orton got distracted by Bobby Roode outside of the ring. This wasn’t half bad, as the match went back and forth and the two can wrestle well together. I didn’t hate it, but I just knew that Jinder Mahal was going to win this match.

Becky Lynch defeated Carmella

This was all Carmella for the most part. Lynch was getting a beat down for the most part, but one mistake and Carmella got hooked into the arm bar and that was that. Lynch was able to tap out Carmella and that was ok I guess. I really miss James Ellsworth at this point because he could keep helping Carmella win matches, and now, it’s just boring to me.

Aj Styles cut a promo.

Aj Styles got interrupted by Dolph Ziggler and the two exchanged words before they started their match.

Aj Styles vs. Dolph Ziggler

This was a halfway decent match, but it went too long without a winner because out came Zayn and Owens showing up and causing chaos. That made Shane McMahon show up to make this a straight up tag team match! I kid. Instead it was simply another setup for a fatal 5 way in which Baron Corbin was sent in.

Sami Zayn won a fatal 5 way

This was a fast paced match with a lot of fun spots, but it was all about the end with Kevin Owens getting pinned by Zayn. There’s not much to say about all of this, other than Aj Styles is the best wrestler in the world. He was able to gain a serious amount of momentum here and it was fascinating to see the whole thing. I was impressed with the move set he threw down, and well, everyone else got their stuff in as well.

A highlight for me was when Rusev challenged Nakamura backstage. Other than that, this was a B show and it sucked. Nothing was memorable here.

WWE Smackdown Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review The Worst Show Keeps Moving

Jinder Won't Be Hindered - Source WWE dot com

The B show of Smackdown Live was in full effect with Roman Drapes covering a lot of empty seats that were in the building. This time around we were going to get a few matches, and talking, which is an awful night if you ask me.

WWE Smackdown Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review

The first thing we get is Aj Styles talking to Renee Young about the big match at Fastlane. I was distracted by Young, whom is very beautiful, and Dean Ambrose is a lucky man. Styles kept talking, and I was focusing on Young before Corbin showed up and said that Styles can’t beat him. That got interrupted and matches were set, which we started with Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler.

Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler

Why would Ziggler leave and come back only to get buried on this show? I am appalled by the logic of having random music play and distract a wrestler, only to have him get pinned. This was a good match until Sami Zayn ran down and distracted Ziggler. Owens won, and that was the end. Not a bad match, but definitely not great, especially the ending.

Jinder Mahal Cuts a Promo

This wasn’t half bad, and if you didn’t like Jinder Mahal cutting a heel promo, then you can’t see past his championship run. He would get the last laugh here as he cut a promo and then hit his finisher on Bobby Roode. Roode did hit a DDT on Orton, but it was Jinder Mahal that stood tall here. I like him, I don’t know what it is, but he’s pretty cool right now. Jinder Mahal is quite good when he’s cutting people down.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Naomi

This wasn’t great, but it had a few good moments. I was impressed with how Naomi’s offense worked here, and I liked how Flair was able to work well with the Squad. The person that was lost here was Becky Lynch, which wasn’t as cohesive as her counterparts. The match went well for the bad girls, however, as The Riott Squad would get the win, and it was good to see. Ruby Riott gets the win, and will get a title shot because of it.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

The winner would get a title shot at Fastlane, and you guessed what happened, The New Day won again. I’m so tired of the New Day, but hey, they can work well with The Usos, so I guess that’s ok. This match was a good fun romp, and it managed to keep my attention, so that’s a positive.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Jobbers

This was lame.

Aj Styles defeated Baron Corbin

When you have an Aj Styles match, you know you’re going to get a good push forward. Styles was able to carry Baron Corbin through some great momentum. This match was fast, and it was very good at times, with Corbin getting into a big winning point until Styles threw down one last Phenomenal Forearm and gets the big win!

Overall this was awful. I didn’t like this night of wrestling, it was definitely the B show compared to the Monday Night Raw show. Overall, Styles and Corbin put on a good match, but other than that, Smackdown was definitely the B show if you ask me.

WWE Smackdown Live February 18, 2018 Results and Review The Same Show Every Week

Jinder Mahal Standing Tall - SRC WWE dot com 

Another week, another Smackdown that showed off the same old BS.

WWE Smackdown Live February 18, 2018 Results and Review

The opening match was supposed to be Ziggler and Corbin, but it never started. Owens and Zayn beat up Corbin. But where was Tye Dillinger? Oh well.

Charlotte Flair defeated Sarah Logan

Lots of people thought this was the worst match of the week, but I liked this. Flair was good, and was able to carry Sarah Logan during this match, and it was fun to watch for me. I liked the way it all went down, and eventually it ended with Flair spiking Logan and getting the win. I didn’t hate this match, and though that Flair really did well with Logan, and that finale was great.

Baron Corbin defeated Kevin Owens

This was ok, and Owens lost, so Corbin gets into the main event of Fastlane. I’m bored with this.

Bobby Roode’s Open Challenge

Nothing happened here besides a bunch of people answering and no match happening. Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal came in, and it was Jinder Mahal that ended up getting the biggest pop here with his finisher on everyone.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was boring. The New Day won.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Sami Zayn

This was a boring match for me, and I knew who would win. Sami Zayn loses, and that’s that.

Smackdown is so predictable right now, and yet they have so much talent. Tye Dillinger should be running in to interfere because he lost his title shot, but here we are, no Tye Dillinger yet again. The top 10 rankings are BS too. This whole show felt awful.

WWE Smackdown February 6, 2018 Results and Review The Same Old Thing Continues

Bobby Roode Wins Against Rusev - SRC WWE dot com

People used to think that Smackdown was the better show. I disagree. This is just another WWE program that is kind of boring, and it showed with the way that the show pushed through the same old BS that they are always going through. Don’t believe me? Well, let’s consider what went on this week.

WWE Smackdown Live February 6, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of Smackdown features the Daniel Bryan top 10 list which featured the people that you’d expect, without Rusev. Rusev gets the most attention and fan fare, and yet the WWE doesn’t seem to listen.

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan open the show together and they are talking about random BS and how Daniel Bryan is living vicariously through Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Bryan denies it, and we start the show.

Charlotte Flair defeated Liv Morgan

This was an easy match for Flair. Morgan was able to gain the upper hand a few times, but it wasn’t that great. Charlotte Flair fought and won, within a short span. I love Flair, and would love to hang out with her and interview her for this blog. Liv Morgan needs a lot more time to develop, but Flair is grand here.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated JOBBERS

The Brothers win. Ok.

The Usos Cut A Promo

The USOS are good on the mic, and well, they need more challengers.

Bobby Roode defeated Rusev

It was RUSEV DAY and yet Bobby Roode didn’t care. This was a good back and forth match, with Rusev throwing down some great points, but it was Roode that would get the final win with his Glorious DDT. This was a good television match, mind you, not great, but it had my attention, and Rusev loses clean in the US Title Match.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Ascension

Not a bad match, but not a great one either. The Ascension did throw in some great overall offense, and found the overall fight to be good, but Gable and Benjamin would not be stopped and they get the win. I like that team and think they should get more chances to get the titles, I would watch them in nearly any type of match. They should get a street fight in with the Usos.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This match was a brawl from start to finish. Zayn and Owens put each other through many of their classic moves, and it wasn’t half bad. Owens would end up on the losing end at one point and out came Aj Styles to fight Zayn and Owens, and that was that. At the end of the match, it was thrown out and Bryan threw out that the guys would play in Fastlane.

This night wasn’t that good. It was ok. I liked it a little, but it seemed far too short and missed a lot of different people on the roster.

WWE Smackdown Live January 16, 2018 Results and Review The Biggest Dumpster Fire Ever

The Glow Kick - Smackdown Live - Source WWE dot com

This was perhaps the worst Smackdown Live that has been put through in a long time. The crowd was nearly dead for a lot of it, there were only 4 matches, and more than 30 minutes of the time slot was given to Jinder Mahal. I kid you not. Jinder Mahal, the modern day Maharaja was the main focal point. Love him or hate him, Jinder Mahal was a big part of the night’s events, and well, let’s break down how it all went down.

WWE Smackdown Live January 16, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with Xavier Woods talking on the mic before calling out Jinder Mahal for their United States Title tournament match.

Jinder Mahal defeated Xavier Woods

This was a second round match in the tournament, and Woods put on a good show. He did most of his spots, and Mahal was slowed down for a good portion of this match. However, Mahal found creative ways to block or revert Woods’ offense to the point where Woods would get tripped up and eventually planted for the three count. Mahal would move on in the tournament.

Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley

Bobby Roode took a beating from Mojo Rawley in this match. He was getting a serious beat down before he would reverse things and hit his DDT for the big win. Rawley is no joke here, he was definitely shining and was able to keep up with Roode’s offense and over powered him in a lot of different moments in this match. I loved the presentation, but Roode’s win was telegraphed.

After this match, the Singh Brothers attacked Roode and Mahal would laugh at him. Their championship match would be moved to later on in the night when Daniel Bryan came out and caught Jinder talking smack.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Naomi, and Becky Lynch

Trading wins back and forth is the worst kind of booking you can do for wrestling. No one ever seems dominant, and it’s just not fun to watch sometimes. The Riott Squad was getting manhandled by Charlotte and her friends, if you ask me. They barely squeaked out a victory here, after getting a lot of brawling done. The Riott Squad would get a win, but this was a standard six man tag match, and well, it wasn’t fun to watch, again.

Bobby Roode defeated Jinder Mahal for the United States Championship

This match was not that good. Roode was winded, and Mahal was just trying to keep up with the veteran. He would put in some good moments here and there, and I’m glad that Bobby Roode get the win, but wow, way to bury Jinder Mahal after being champion, failing to recapture, and then failing to win the United States Championship. Is this the end of Jinder Mahal’s run? Roode wins, and that’s the end of the show.

During the show, there were vignettes of the Royal Rumble participants and it was awful. It lacked emotion and character that you used to get with the older Royal Rumble focused promos, but hey, it’s something, right?

This was a bad night of wrestling, if you can call it that. It had some ok moments, but where were half of the roster? Seriously, there was so much missing, including Zayn, Owens, The Usos (interview and beat down doesn’t count), and many others were just not on the show. Not a great match, but hey, if you love Jinder Mahal, you got him for more than 30 minutes of the show.

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Charlotte Flair is A Pure Queen - Source WWE dot com 

WWE Clash of Champions is the last pay per view event in 2017 and it was live from Boston. I was planning on going, but got sick, and decided against it. That makes another year that I didn’t go to see WWE live in person, and that is just something that happens, what can I say? Life gets in the way as you get older. The show was smooth, and I only drank one beer through this one, although I did have a lot of pizza, which I shouldn’t have, but it’s the holidays.

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder

This was a brawl where Mojo just beat down Zack Ryder until he pinned him. It was a one sided affair for the most part, and Mojo was hitting absolutely harder than Ryder was. A good starter, and a nice opening for Mojo to get through.

Dolph ZIggler defeated Baron Corbin, and Bobby Roode for the United States Championship

Here you go, a nice round of expertise, with a lot of action, and great back and forth. Roode had a great deal of fighting, Corbin was able to reverse things here and there, but it was Ziggler that was able to pull off a big victory here. Ziggler was on fire throughout, but Roode and Corbin put on a few great moments too. I was surprised how good Corbin looked here, and of course I didn’t call Ziggler winning.

The Usos defeated The New Day, Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin, and Rusev with Aiden English in a Fatal 4-Way

This was an all out brawl with a lot of action, and some impressive elements. Chad Gable did an incredible job, and reminded me of Chris Benoit. He was pulling through some amazing suplexes on everyone! I was impressed, I just can’t say enough about him. The Usos are on fire, and I wish they would fight The Young Bucks, they are that good, and they need more competition.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya in a Lumberjack Match

This wasn’t great, it was awkward, and it was boring. Flair did her usual spots, and Natalya had a few moments, but it was far from a great showing for the two. I didn’t like the match, and the lumberjacks didn’t add much to it. Flair wins, and afterwards Natalya starts crying.

Bludgeon Brothers defeated Breezango

This was a fast match, and it was pretty much a burial. There’s not much to say about this.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton

This was an awkward, wrestlecrap showcase of tom foolery. Why? Because Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon were the in ring referees! After some screw jobs by Shane, and after a few moments where Bryan was pushed over at one point, a fast count won the match for Owens and Zayn, and that’s that. It was nice while it lasted, but this was just odd to watch. It was like a carnie type of show.

Aj Styles defeated Jinder Mahal in the WWF Championship

Here we go, the title match to end all title matches. This featured the modern day maharaja, and well, Jinder Mahal put on a show beating down Aj Styles for a great push through the match. It wasn’t that bad, it wasn’t terrible, and well it ended with Aj Styles winning big, and that’s it.

The show was ended nicely, and I went to bed. It’s not a memorable thing, I just didn’t care. I just didn’t care, so that’s the end of that. Where was Tye Dillinger? So much for being the perfect 10.

WWE Smackdown October 31, 2017 Results and Review The Revolution Is Over

Killer Shot of Owens vs Nakamura - SRC wwe dot com

Well, if we are in the women’s revolution, you wouldn’t know it because Smackdown had NO women’s matches on it. But hey, that’s what the WWE wants you to see, no women on the product except for a petty backstage argument that you’re supposed to believe. GTFO!

WWE Smackdown October 31, 2017 Results and Review

So here we go, the Halloween edition of the B show and it was definitely a B show from top to bottom.

Shane McMahon came out to talk about the big pay per view and he was saying that he is going to be the captain of his team! This has to lead to a Shane McMahon versus Kurt Angle wrestlemania match, right?

Bobby Roode defeated Dolph Ziggler in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match

This wasn’t good at all. The editing was awful, and they had a fall in the commercial break! What the hell guys? The match was not great, and Ziggler was in “mechanical” mode. He claims he’s the best but he is boring, and Roode is terrible as a face. Although he’s got some good moves. Ziggler loses here, and that’s all that matters. The Glorious DDT is awesome, and I’m glad more DDT options are getting pinfall victories honestly.

Baron Corbin defeated Sin Cara via Disqualification

Boring. Just absolutely boring.

Aj Styles defeated Samir Singh

Styles buries the second Singh brother. Wow.

Rusev defeated Big E

This was funny as Big E was dressed up as Akeem The African Dream. Also, the New Day were in full costume, and while this match wasn’t great, it had some funny moments with the costumes. Rusev would get the win after Aiden English distracted Big E and got the big win. Not a terrible match, but far from a classic.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Kevin Owens

This was an ok television match, but it was far from great. These two could do a lot better, but they did put on a decent showing. Kevin would lose even though Sami Zayn was trying to help him get the victory. Randy Orton showed up and dumped Zayn onto the announcer’s table and then Owens got pinned by Nakamura. That’s the end of the show!

So there was NO women’s match, so forget the women’s revolution, it’s over, because they don’t matter apparently. Not a great show, and not a terrible one either. I id like the opening match a little, and despite the fact that Jinder Mahal sucks, I like that there’s a brown guy on my tv being at the top. Since I of course am brown.

WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Results and Review The Big Leap From Shane

Shane Is Better Than Most of The Roster - Src wwe dot com

WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Results came through Detroit, Michigan and there was not a lot of fanfare from me at first, but as the night wore on, I really got into the event and was hoping for great things. There were some dry spots, but overall, there were some good moments to discuss, so let’s go forward with the review of last night’s epic pay per view.

WWE Hell In A Cell 2017 Results and Review

Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin defeated The Hype Bros

Well this is the end of the Hype Bros. Gable and Benjamin work like well oiled machines. The Hype Bros were just not in sync and it showed, and they ended up giving up some mistakes and losing this match. Gable and Benjamin are quite good, and it’ll be interesting to see how far they go, before they break up of course.

The Usos defeated The New Day in a Hell in the Cell Tag Title Match

Well, you’re not going to get a better match in the WWE than these guys beating the holy hell out of each other. This was brutal, on all levels. The four guys threw together a great match, and they kept beating the crap out of each other until The Usos took out hand cuffs and beat down Big E and Xavier. They landed stereo USO splashes with a chair on top of a New Day member and boom, they are the new champions. This was a great match, no complaints at all.

Randy Orton defeated Rusev

The burial of Rusev continues. Nothing to see here, kind of a boring match.

Baron Corbin defeated Aj Styles and Tye Dillinger

This was a 5 star match in my view. Dillinger put on a show and really made this match great. Styles was being thrown around a lot, but he threw down some great offense in his defeat, but it was Corbin that was able to get the win after knocking out Styles from the ring, and scooping up Tye Dillinger for his first major title.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya VIA DQ

This was bad. Flair ended up getting injured at one point, and it was bad. It was just awful, I can’t attest to this match being anything but boring, and a way to write off Flair from the show.

The Fashion Files

The fashion files are boring, sorry. This was lame.

Jinder Mahal defeated Nakamura

Well, the WWE Champion, the modern day MAJARAJA once again beat Nakamura in this title match. He did it clean too, as the Singh brothers were thrown out of the ringside area, and Jinder threw down his finisher for Nakamura to get buried. So much for sticks and stones eh?

Bobby Roode defeated Dolph Ziggler

A roll up. That’s it, a freakin roll up finish. Ugh.

Kevin Owens defeated Shane McMahon In A Hell In The Cell Match

This was nearly 40 minutes long and it was insane. This was a war. McMahon threw everything but the kitchen sink at Owens, and McMahon even jumped off the cage. The big story here was that Sami Zayn helped save Owens from his doom, as he pulled Owens from getting hit by McMahon. That was that, the end. This was one hell of a match, no pun intended.

WWE Smackdown Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review This Is The B Show

How Can Kevin Owens Still Be Fat? - SRC wwe dot com 

Live from Denver, Colorado the B show has finally begun to be that lack luster. I kid you not. This thing was a heaping pile of dog…never mind. This is probably one of the worst shows that WWE has thrown together in a while, and there’s a lot of reasons why, but let’s talk about what went down.

WWE Smackdown Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review

Jinder mahal beat up Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura is horrendous on the mic. He doesn’t speak English well, and it’s forcing him to push out an element he doesn’t need. Give him a mouth piece, or have him stay quiet like Muta. If you don’t know who Muta is, then you’re too young for this site, I think. Jinder Mahal showed up and beat up Nakamura, but Nakamura fought the Singh Brothers etc, but the numbers game was too much. I liked this, and I hope Jinder Mahal keeps the title. I like his shirt.

Natalya and Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch

The divas revolution? Eh? This was a short match that only served to further the heels getting wins. Flair and Lynch are wasted talents in this match, and are nothing but punching bags for the champion and the money in the bank briefcase holder. It’s cool that James Ellsworth still has a job though, what a way to make a living.

Bobby Roode defeated Mike Kanellis

Well, well, Roode buries the new guy. Not bad. Not good, but rather, Terrible. Dolph Ziggler came out to bother Roode, but meh, this was dumb.

The Usos Cut A Promo

I like The Usos but they are going to lose this weekend. The New Day has numbers, and that’s it.

Tye Dillinger defeated Baron Corbin

This was a boring match and a waste of Tye Dillinger’s talent. He wins with a distraction roll up and that’s it. He walks away, and that’s the end. Corbin has an Aj Styles promo cut on him, and all I can think of is the sound byte where he says, “Gay People?”.

Cancer Survivors Partnership

I won’t talk bad about this.

Randy Orton defeated Aiden English

Another burial folks, there’s nothing to this, just burying people for the sake of it. Oh well. RKO and the win.

Kevin Owens Beat Up Shane McMahon

Kevin Owens beat up Shane McMahon in the lobby of the arena, throwing him threw a table. Then when Shane came back down to the ring, Kevin Owens beat him up some more. That’s it. End of show.

This was an abysmal show of burials, and lackluster matches. This felt like it was 3 hours long, but honestly, it wasn’t. It’s a lackluster show and definitely the B squad of the WWE right now. This was bad. Just all around bad.

WWE NXT April 19, 2017 Results and Review Kevin Castle’s Neighbor Competes In A Cage

Tye Dillinger From The Top - SRC Wwe.com 

WWE NXT taped from Full Sail Studios in Orlando, Florida, and I for one wish the school was around when I was younger. I would have gone to that school instead of the Art Institute. Don’t get me wrong, the Art Institute was good, but it didn’t really give me a fighting chance for the real world. Whatever the case may be, NXT was live, and it packed a lot of wrestling into a small package.

Hideo Itami made Bobby Roode look like a Chump

Tye Dillinger defeated Eric Young in a Steel Cage Match

WWE NXT April 19, 2017 Review

The show started well enough, with Bobby Roode cutting a Triple H like promo. He was talking about a new era, and out came Hideo Itami. I for one, am not impressed by Itami at all. I don’t see the big deal. He showed up to the ring and immediately hit the GTS on Roode, and that was that. I guess he’s a star? I don’t know.

Andrade “Cien” Almas defeated Danny Burch

Danny Burch is a UK star, and he was easily taken care of by Almas. Almas is cool as a bad boy here, but something tells me that he’s not happy. Perhaps it was Alberto Del Rio. Look for Drew McIntyre to bury him next week.

Aliyah and Liv Morgan defeated Peyton Royce and Billie Kay

Royce and Kay are Laycool 2.0. This was a workable match, nothing too great, not a long one, just average. The finale led to Royce and Kay throwing a fit in ring, and that was that.

Tye Dillinger defeated Eric Young in a steel cage

Kevin Castle’s Neighbor, Eric Young put the boots to Tye Dillinger in this back and forth match. Sanity tried to interfere, but they were thwarted, and Dillinger was able to escape this match with the win, and close the door on his Sanity feud. I feel that blood would have helped here, but that’s just my opinion. A good overall match, and a workable finish to a lackluster show.

That’s it for this week’s NXT, it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great. The main event was worth checking out, but other than that, it wasn’t too much to write home about.

WWE NXT Takeover April 2, 2017 Results and Review Greatest Tag Match Ever

This morning I woke up at 3 am. I don’t get more than 5 hours of sleep a day. I have a hard time sleeping, and it’s wearing on me. I did get to watch NXT Takeover, and it made me wish I went to Orlando. Maybe next year, I will be able to do that. Whatever the case is, here is how this all went down.

WWE NXT Takeover April 2, 2017 Results

Sanity defeated Tye Dillinger, Kassius Ohno, Ruby Riot, and Roderick Strong

NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain defeted DIY and The Revival

WWE NXT Takeover April 2, 2017 Review

The first thing that I noticed is that there were 14,000 some odd people at the Amway center. Like I said, I really felt jealous for not going. I am not usually a jealous person, but this show really made me envious of everyone there.

Sanity defeated Tye Dillinger, Kassius Ohno, Ruby Riot, and Roderick Strong

This was a very cool option. Sanity is really fun to watch. Ohno, Dillinger, Riot, and Strong threw out a lot of action. This is a great match with a lot of action. Sanity is like Bray Wyatt’s group, only more interesting to me. They put the boots to the good guys, and at the end, Killian Dame got the pin. This was awesome, just a really good match. Kassius Ohno replaced No Way Jose, and he was great, he put on a show in this one, but Sanity got the win.

Aleister Black defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas

Aleister Black reminds me of Dharma Punx, a book about Zen. It gave me an idea about writing a new book about Zen Buddhism and skateboarding. Black is cool, Almas looks like he is miserable, but he’s doing his job. Black won with a kick called the Black Mass, and that’s it. I like Black’s style, but this isn’t that grand, just yet.

NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain defeated DIY and The Revival

I wasn’t expecting much out of this match, and then things started to pick up. Holy crap this is a 5 star classic if you ask me. The tag team champions took on 4 guys basically, because they teamed up at times. There was so much to this, so many spots, so many great moments. The Authors of Pain looked strong as they won this match. They were able to eliminate DIY and The Revival, but not without taking some serious damage, going through a table, and so much more. This was amazing, just amazing, wow. Favorite spot was the superplex off the top rope into 4 of the team members. Just wow.

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka defeated Ember Moon

This started with a frenetic pace. Ember Moon can hang with Asuka. Asuka was able to throw down a lot, don’t get me wrong, she was putting the boots to Moon, but Moon was able to throw out so many pieces of offense, it was amazing. I loved it. I loved how well she worked, but alas, she did not win. Asuka won, but only after one hell of a battle. This was a great match.

NXT Champion Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

What a boring match. Shinsuke Nakamura is not a good match for Roode. Roode was boring. He won this match and it was fun. Nakamura lost this one, and he threw out some of the same old push. I didn’t like this match, and that was that.

The Authors of Pain defeated The Ealy Brothers
Nikki Cross defeated Macey Estrella
Bobby Roode defeated Kassius Ohno (NXT Championship Match)

WWE NXT March 16, 2017 Review

The Authors of Pain defeated The Ealy Brothers

This night opened up with a challenge, and that challenge was answered. I didn’t think the Ealy Brothers could win and well…they didn’t.

Nikki Cross defeated Macey Estrella

Nikki Cross is a hot commodity. She’s also very cute, and well, crazy. She beat the snot out of Macey Estrella, and I thought she was going to get disqualified after hitting her finisher more than 4 times in a row. She got the pinfall, and that was that.

Post match, No Way Jose and Tye Dillinger came out to try and beat up Sanity, but that was thwarted and they beat everyone down. I guess this will set up a match for NXT Takeover Orlando.

Asuka Promo

They ran an Asuka promo which was really cool. However, she can’t speak English. She can’t go very far in the United States without that element. I hope she’s working on her ESL because if she gets called up, she will get eaten alive by the talkers on the main stage, I’m sorry.

Bobby Roode defeated Kassius Ohno (NXT Championship Match)

The main event featured Kassius Ohno’s title shot for the NXT Championship. This is how you book a main event title match. Roode was baffled by Ohno’s offense. He was hitting on all cylinders, and while Roode had a few shots, Ohno was getting over huge here. Everything he threw at Roode was a haymaker, including the finale, but alas, one slip up and Roode hit the incredible DDT and that was that. Ohno loses, but with a valiant effort and a stellar match for the title.

Overall, NXT is a no nonsense wrestling program that you should check out. I loved it. You will love it, most likely. The title match alone is worth checking out this week.

WWE NXT Takeover San Antonio January 28, 2017 The WWE Indie Product

Independent style WWE Work 

If the WWE was aiming to make their development product seem like a good independent product, they certainly accomplished it with their latest Takeover event. This event took place at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas. I wanted to venture that way, but decided to save my 1,000 dollars and stick to seeing it on the network. Plus, one of my cats had an aggression problem and I had to stay awake all night defending it from the other cat, and well it was a big to do.

WWE NXT Takeover San Antonio 2017 Review

Eric Young defeated Tye Dillinger

They call Dillinger the perfect 10, and people scream out 10 during his matches. I think he’s a good wrestler, but he is wasted here by losing. Eric Young put on a show, and I personally was impressed. Dillinger and Young put on a good overall wrestling match with only 11 minutes of time, and it was spot on in most cases. Young is definitely better here than he was in TNA, and Dillinger needs to be on the main roster, perhaps on Smackdown.

Roderick Strong defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas

Strong is an independent darling, and well, it looks like it. He’s got no charisma in my view, and this match was like watching Dean Malenko’s first matches. But he won me over as the match went on. Andrade is awesome, and he can really go. I liked the overall match, but didn’t like Strong’s casual selling towards the end, including no-selling Cien Almas’ finisher. Oh well.

The Authors of Pain defeated DIY

I’m not a fan of the Authors of Pain. They are green, but they are tough, and they really put a beating on DIY. This had a lot of great psychology, and really put through some great overall fighting back and forth. DIY just couldn’t get the job done as the bigger guys did what big guys do, beat up little guys. DIY should be on the main roster.

Asuka defeated Nikki Cross, Billie Kay, and Peyton Royce

A throwaway match if you ask me. Asuka is light years away from her peers at this point. However, I feel that her English-speaking skills are going to hold her back. I’m a fan of Japanese wrestlers, but like Great Muta said, you have to know English very well. As far as this match, it was interesting to see Peyton and Billie team up to get rid of Cross, then beat up Asuka. Asuka narrowly escaped this 10 minute match, and really did put on a good show, for the most part.

Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura for the NXT Championship

Bobby ROOOOOO here put on a good showing against Nakamura. Nakamura has great charisma, but his English skills hold him back. Triple H even said he wasn’t ready for the main roster, and I can see why. This match was not crisp, and it showed a lot of frustration on the part of Nakamura. Watching it again, you’ll see how frustrated he gets when Roode is not in tune with the next step. Roode sold so much here, and really paced the match’s overall moves, in what I can only say was Glorious fashion. Good match, nearly 30 minutes, and a great way to end the show. Nakamura, in my opinion, is in dire need of better English, and a push that is better than Yoshi Tatsu or Kenzi Sazuki. Here’s hoping to him getting a fair shot in WWE.
