WWE Monday Night Raw July 23, 2018 Results and Review

Super Man Punch! - SRC WWE 

Well, I didn't want to watch Raw, but hey, this site needs updates right? We start the show with Vince McMahon in ring.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 23, 2018 Results and Review

Vince McMahon introduced Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Well, she came out and said that women can be anything, except ugly on WWE. Oh, she didn't say that? Well, there's going to be an all women's WWE PPV called "Evolution" on October 28, 2018. It will be the first ever all women's PPV for the WWE. Oh great, oh great, so exciting. Sigh. This is stupid, but hey, whatever. I'll watch it, because I do that, and you 2 readers out there still listen or watch or read or do something for this blog, right? Lol.

The B Team defeatd Woken Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt in the WWE Tag Team Championship Match

In what was an odd match, the B Team was able to once again upend the Deleters of Words. The match wasn't that great, it was slow, prodding, and eventually featured Wyatt and Hardy getting shuffled around and thrown into one another where Curtis Axle was able to get the pin. It was a quick ending to a short match, and after the match the Deleters of Worlds gave the B team their finishing manuever. The B Team still have the championships.

Bayley and Sasha Banks Make Up

I'm so tired of seeing Bayley and Sasha, and the backstage elements. They apparently LOVE one another now? I hate this. It's so stupid.

Sasha and Bayley defeated Two Jobbers

This was boring. A jobber match and that's it. If you like jobber matches, then, this was great for you. I didn't think it was fun to watch, it was just a boring throwaway match.

Elias got interrupted by Braun Strowman.

Elias was introduced but out came Braun Strowman and he cut a promo. Then out come Corbin and Kevin Owens. Then Jinder came out, and well, this was a comedy segment, and wow, just wow, this was not good. No wrestling here, just comedy with one of the Singh brothers getting a beat down.

Mickie James defeated Natalya

This wasn't a 30 second match, but it certainly wasn't that long. It was not a great match, but I always love seeing Mickie James, and well, Natalya was able to throw down a great deal, and she had this match in the bag, until Alexa kept distracting her and well, that let James get the Mick Kick and that was that. Natalya goes down, which wasn't a bad match, but it wasn't a great one either.

The Authors of Pain Cut A Promo

They said they didn't want Titus Worldwide. But that's who came out. I love Dana Brooke, by the way. The guys ended up catching a beating, and Authors of Pain got thrown out of the ring by Titus Worldwide.

Mojo defeated Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze basically got jobbed out to Mojo, and that was that. It was a short match, and that's it.

Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre via Disqualification

This was a good match for the most part, but it would get ruined by a disqualification from Ziggler. After Balor was starting to win, and then got thrown off of his game, Seth Rollin ran down and beat up Drew McIntyre, and ran off the duo.

Of course this prompted Kurt Angle to play the Teddy Long Card. He decided to make a new match that was a straight up tag match, playa, playa!

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler

Well, this was a match. It was fast paced, it had a lot of action, and honestly, McIntyre and Ziggler caught a beat down with Rollins getting the big win this time around. It was a fun match, but I feel that it didn't matter as much as I'd like. I'm seriously tired of seeing Ziggler, as he's a loser. But then again, McIntyre looks great right now, I hope he continues to get a push.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

This was another short match, but it was effective. Ember Moon was able to throw down against Liv Morgan, and the Eclipse hit hard, with Morgan getting knocked out and that was that. Liv MOrgan is hot, by the way. Just saying. Moon is so strong and athletic, I'm impressed.

Elias played a song.

This was ok, I guess. Elias has an album out. He got cut short, as he wasn't able to get moving forward throughout the night.

Roman Reigns defeated Bobby Lashley

This was a different type of match than their match at Extreme Rules. There were 3 Superman Punches here and Lashley was still standing. There was a spear from both men, and after some back and forth, it was Reigns that hit a mega spear at around the 2 hour and 22 minute mark or rather that the third hour and boom, Lashley was defeated. Bobby Lashley threw down a great offensive match, but he lost here, and that was that. He would shake Roman Reign's hand and that was that. Reigns gets another shot at Brock Lesnar, and that's that.

Overall, Raw wasn't that great, but it didn't completely suck either. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. It was just there.

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.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review The Shake Up Night One

Ronda Rousey Take Down 2018 - src wwe dot com

Let’s shake things up! That’s what we were going to get with Monday Night Raw, and it was interesting to see how things shaped up. It’s better than the last one, but let’s see how it all works out.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review

Jeff Hardy defeated Jinder Mahal for the US Championship

Jeff Hardy is so good, and still so clean when he is in the ring. He was able to throw down some good offense against Jinder and Mahal wasn’t bad. Jinder Mahal and Jeff Hardy threw down a great deal of back and forth and I enjoyed it tremendously. I was rooting for Jeff towards the end, and was surprised to see that he was able to pull the title away from Jinder Mahal. Apparently, Jeff Hardy is now Hindering Jinder! Great opening match.

Bayley vs. Sasha Banks

The two women were throwing hay makers at each other and it was getting ugly until the Riott Squad broke into the ring and started to beat down the two women. They just kept fighting them, and beat them down with relative ease. It was an interesting jump, and one that didn’t have music played first.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

Well, the Authors of Pain once again bury the duo of Slater and Rhyno and that’s the end of them. Sorry about that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn showed up for Miz TV

Miz Tv was special in that they announced Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but then again, Miz ended up being told that he would be moved to Smackdown and that Daniel Bryan is waiting.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated The Revival

Why even have NXT tag teams come up? The Revival once again lose, and the team of Hardy and Wyatt is just stupid to me. The match was ok at best, and you knew that The Revival was going down, which they did.

Ember Moon defeated Mickie James

One hell of a match here, and it wasn’t long. However, the finish saw Ember Moon hitting her finisher and nearly wrecking Mickie James. This match is worth mentioning as the best match of the week, just for that insane finish. I loved it.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre showed up and beat down Titus Worldwide

I have nothing to say about this.

Samoa Joe confronted Roman Reigns

Samoa Joe babbles on and Roman Reigns all has to say one thing, but he doesn’t. He just needs to say that Samoa Joe couldn’t beat Lesnar either.

Natalya defeated Many Rose

This was a fast paced match, but it ended fast with a little help from Rose’s friends. Natalya would get a beat down after the fact, but out came Ronda Rousey and fought Sonya Deville and it was fascinating to see her beat down Sonya fast. I loved it.

Breezango defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

A short match, and nothing too crazy here, just an average match where Breezango steals a win. It was a fun little romp, and their backstage antics was fun to watch too.

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode defeated The Miz, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The Miztourage

This was a fast paced 10 man tag and nothing crazy. Just a lot of finishers, and back and forth. I loved it and it’s funny to see how they all interact. The best part here involved The Miz. The Miz got isolated and The Miztourage refused to tag in, and then Braun Strowman beat him down and pinned him for the win. The Miz gets sent out beaten, and without his crew.

An overall good night of wrestling, with a stacked Raw show. I liked it, even though it felt a little long. I hope Smackdown is just as good, otherwise this time around Raw will win the big showdown. I loved it. I’m sure others did too.

Monday Night Raw March 19, 2018 Results and Review The Ultimate Deletion Showcase

The Ultimate Deletion - SRC Wwe dot com 

Why is it that Monday Night Raw feels like it’s 10 hours long? Even the HULU version is long. This time, I did not make the mistake of watching this thing on Hulu, I was able to watch the whole thing, and well, there are some ups and downs that you should definitely consider when looking at Monday Night Raw from Monday, March 19.

Monday Night Raw March 19, 2018 Results and Review

Brock Lesnar Beat The Bricks off Roman Reigns

Kurt Angle came down to say that Roman shouldn’t be there, and that Lesnar hasn’t arrived. Roman ran his mouth and was then handcuffed by U.S. Marshals. They got handsy with old Roman and he fought them before Brock Lesnar showed up and then beat the bricks off of Roman Reigns, all while he was handcuffed. The fans chanted “You deserved it”, and it’s sad to see that the main event at Wrestlemania may get booed out of the building. I’m not a fan of either these guys right now. This was a cold beat down, and there was no way for Roman to defend himself. I’m shocked at the level of violence allowed here.

Asuka defeated Alexa Bliss via Count Out

Before the match, Alexa Bliss and a fine looking Mickie James were in the ring. She talked about how she had no remorse for talking negatively about Nia Jax. During her promo out came Asuka and she went one on one with Alexa Bliss. If you’re going to build an unstoppable winning machine, why is she taking so much offense from everyone? When they did this with Goldberg, he wasn’t getting slim wins, but that’s how Asuka is getting booked right now. This was actually really good, despite it all, and Alexa eventually just walked out. She was on her way out when Nia Jax showed up to get revenge, and when she ran, Mickie James got caught and got a beat down. Asuka wins, and that’s the big thing here, but James got beat by Nia Jax so there’s that.

Braun Strowman defeated Cesaro

Cesaro was able to garner a win here, and it wasn’t too hard for him. He also stated that he has a partner for Wrestlemania. I am hoping it’s James Ellsworth.

The Revival defeated Titus Worldwide

What would you expect from two jobbers facing off against NXT Elite? I thought for sure the Revival was going to get buried here, but nope, they didn’t. They were able to win with their finisher, and that was that. Titus Worldwide is officially at jobber status if you ask me.

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville defeated Bayley and Sasha Banks

Before this match Sasha Banks got on the mic and said that she was Bayley’s best friend and that she wanted to be friend still, and Bayley talked about how it was hard to get there etc. This was stupid. Out came Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville and through some shenanigans, a distraction, and some back and forth wrestling, Absolution won and it caused a rift yet again to appear between Bayley and Banks! Paige looks flabby, by the way.

John Cena cut another promo.

John Cena cut a promo on the Undertaker and out came Kane. The Big Slow Machine chokesslammed John Cena and set up a match for next week, and that was that. Not good, not bad, just meh.

The Balor Club defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

The Miz cut the best promo of the night and called out Tyler Black and Prince Nevitte, which was purposely done I’m sure. The Balor Club showed up, which is made up of Finn Balor and the Club Sandwich boys. They would get the win here, but not without knocking out the MIztourage yet again, and getting the upper hand. They would get the pinfall win, but after the match the Miz and crew attacked Balor and that prompted Seth Rollins to come in for the save. The match was ok at best.

Woken Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt in the Ultimate Deletion

This was a fun match, but it wasn’t as good as the TNA ones. It had a lot of brawling, some great introductions, and some nice little points of back and forth fighting and wrestling. There was more pyro here than any other time in WWE from the past year, mind you. Eventually Wyatt got a beat down and lost, getting thrown into the lake of reincarnation and disappearing. This was a great way to end Raw if you ask me. A great overall brawl if you ask me. Not bad, and good comedy, and great way to end what seemed like a 10 hour night of Raw.

Overall, Raw was good if you ask me. It wasn’t bad at times, and it progressed the stories that are going into Wrestlemania, with a focus on the ending with the Ultimate Deletion. However, I didn’t like how Michael Cole was hating on it, what a jerk. Other than that, the final was good, the beat down at the beginning was good, and the in between was just ok.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 6, 2018 Results and Review Walk With Elias

Asuka shakes Bayley's Hand - SRC wwe dot com

Three hours of WWE showed up in Iowa and from what I heard, it was snowy outside, but hot on the inside, just like a baked Alaska dessert. Right? Ok, bad joke, but let’s talk about the greater good of Raw, or the not-so greater good, as the three hour event came to television last night from Iowa, and I watched all of it. Here we go, let’s all walk with Elias and review WWE Monday Night Raw!

WWE Monday Night Raw February 6, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns defeated Bray Wyatt

It was exactly what you thought it would be, and it was awfully good. The match wasn’t half bad, with both guys working their best with a passion for the business and a focus on hitting hard, and getting the crowd into it. Every move hit, every look and more was great here, and Roman Reigns won big. Roman Reigns won, and Bray Wyatt eats another pin, then gets deleted!

Finn Balor and Karl Anderson defeated Revival

The Revival was buried. That’s right, the Revival gets buried by Finn Balor and Karl Anderson, and that’s the end of that. Not a long match.

Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak and Tony Nese

Not a fast match, not a long one, just a great amount of action and that’s it. There was a lot of holds by Gulak and Nese, while Ali and Alexander tried to throw around their high flying moves. It wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t great either. It was good enough if you ask me. A quick match with Maverick Drake on the mic, which was a nice change of pace.

Asuka defeated Bayley

This match was a good one, with Bayley hanging on for dear life at times, but throwing down Asuka’s offense as well. Asuka gave her some serious respect after the match by shaking her hand, but this was a great showcase for both women. Bayley is far better in ring than Sasha Banks at times, and it’s interesting to see the two matches back to back. Asuka is just amazing here.

The Miz defeated Apollo Crews

Crews was the young gun here and The Miz played smart veteran. The Miz won after capitalizing on a mistake that Crews made. Apollo Crews was making a lot of mistakes here, and it’s interesting to see how the whole match was put together. Crews would get the loss, but he still looked strong overall.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns via DQ

This was a good overall tag match, lots of action, some good back and forth, but it was not the night for The Shield. Jason Jordan came out and messed up the match for the Shield and they got disqualified. That was the end of those guys getting title shots, and we’ll have to see who is next for The Bar here. I’m not sure where it’s going to go.

Nia Jax defeated Vanessa Floyd

Jax beat down a jobber.

Mickie James defeated Sonya Deville

Another match that featured a veteran in ring performer taking on a rookie and making her pay. Sonya Deville was able to get a good deal of offense, but it was Mickie James that impressed me here. She’s quick, and was able to counter some of Deville’s offense, eventually getting a roll up win. After the match she got beat down by the Absolution crew, but Alexa Bliss came out to save her.

Elias defeated Braun Strowman and John Cena

Elias and Cena ganged up on Strowman and threw him out of the ring many times, and even hitting an AA on the steps. Elias and Cena battled for the most part of the match, and it was interesting how well this turned out. Elias would get the big win, but only after Strowman hit Cena with his running power slam, and that was that.

Afterwards Strowman left both men on the mat, but the end came with Elias pinning Cena. I kid you not. Cena is pinned by Elias!

This night of Raw had a lot more wrestling than most weeks, and I loved it. I actually enjoyed this week’s Raw, including the women’s matches, and that main event with a great ending, as I’m walking with Elias!

WWE Monday Night Raw December 11, 2017 Results and Review The Same Old Stuff

Roman Reigns vs. Cesaro WWE Raw - Source WWE dot com 

If you watch the HULU version of Monday Night Raw, then you know that the good stuff isn’t that good, but at least it wasn’t 9 hours long. Ok, it’s supposed to be 3 hours long, but honestly, the WWE wastes a lot of time with what they are doing. Whatever the case may be, you’ll find that this is a show that has hits and misses, but mostly misses.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 11, 2017 Results and Review

The opening had Samoa Joe cutting a great promo and calling out Roman Reigns. That brought out the rest of the shield, but only after The Bar showed up to help Joe beat up Roman. This took forever it seemed.

Paige and Mandy Rose defeated Bayley and Mickie James

This wasn’t a bad match, but the timing was off at several times. Paige is actually really good, and Many Rose is fine. Mickie James made this match awesome, as her timing is great, but Bayley had a few points where it just didn’t seem like she knew how to work or what she was doing. I was so focused on what she was and wasn’t doing, that I ended up having to hate this math. Paige is still fluid, and Rose was good in ring, but Bayley seemed a little lost, but oh well. This match was decent, especially for a television match.

Woken Matty Hardy and Bray Wyatt Did a Promo

This was boring. It seemed too manufactured.

Finn Balor defeated Curtis Axel

This was not shown on HULU.

Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus

This was a decent match, and despite Sheamus having a neck injury, he was bumping like he felt fine. Rollins did his normal push, but Sheamus was right there with him to counter attacks. Despite a flurry of offense from Sheamus, Rollins was able to get the big win, and it was entertaining to see. This match was good, but I’m honestly tired of seeing these teams wrestling one on one moving forward to a tag team title match.

Cedric Alexander defeated Mustafa Ali, Tony Nese, and Ariya Daivari

Since Rich Swann was arrested and suspended, here comes Cedric Alexander. This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Roman Reigns defeated Cesaro

Cesaro got an intercontinental championship match, and it was good. Cesaro is one of the best wrestlers in the world and it showed. Roman Reigns tried to keep up but it seemed as though Cesaro was one step ahead of him throughout, including blocking the Superman punch, the driveby, and many other moves that Reigns through at him. A great match with a terrible spear ending and Reigns coming out on top.

Absolution Attacked Asuka

This was just a beat down, nothing more. Asuka did manage to clear a few of the girls, but wasn’t able to get the upper hand without help.

Samoa Joe defeated Dean Ambrose

This was not shown on HULU.

Braun Strowman vs. Kane ended in a double count-out

I do not want to see Kane wrestle any longer. Strowman had to sell his offense, and Kane didn’t seem dominant! He kept cowering at times, and it just made Strowman look stronger, while making Kane look like an idiot. The match ended in a double count-out when Strowman speared Kane through the ringside barrier. Then a table was setup in ring and Strowman drilled Kane through it, but it was too little too late.

That was Raw. For a roster that is so full, I feel like we see the same thing over and over again. I guess that’s just the case for WWE today.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 4, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire Keeps Burning

Asuka Looking Great - Source WWE dot com

Once again, I am reviewing the HULU version of Monday Night Raw, mainly because I’m on the road in Las Vegas. The night of Wrestling was edited down into 90 minutes of action, and well, here we go, my take on how it all worked out.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 4, 2017 Results and Review

I honestly forget how the show opened. It was mainly talking. Roman Reigns and Jason Jordan were slack jawing about the Intercontinental Title, and how Jordan wants a shot and asks his dad to give him a shot, and Angle obliges. But not until Samoa Joe comes out to challenge, and that prompts a Reigns beat down from Jordan, and what not.

Roman Reigns defeated Jason Jordan

Here we go, not a bad match for Jason Jordan. Jordan fights a 20 minute or so battle with Reigns, who has recently said he was the best wrestler in the entire world. Reigns put the boots to Jordan, but Jason Jordan was dropping a lot of suplexes, dropkicks, and running through the paces of a good match. This wasn’t half bad, it was a fun showcase of stellar wrestling, and some good moments, even though the crowd was booing the crap out of Jordan at some points.

Paige defeated Sasha Banks

Paige actually put on a good match with Banks. The Boss couldn’t handle the onslaught that Paige and her cronies brought, and eventually led to a brawl outside and then Banks beat down Banks finishing her off for the 3 count and her finisher.

Drew Gulak defeated Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, and Tony Nesese

This was not shown on HULU

Braun Strowman attacked Elias

Elias wanted a match, and Braun came out to answer, only to beat up Elias, and the match never really started.

Asuka defeated Alicia Fox

This went a lot longer than the last time Asuka fought. Alicia Fox was able to fight a great deal, but in the end it was Asuka that would get the win. I was surprised by how long it took Asuka to win this match, it took her way longer than I would’ve thought, and it was kind of interesting to see how she went through the motions.

Finn Balor defeated Bo Dallas

This was not shown on HULU

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt Did Dueling Promos

Matt Hardy is now Awoken, and he’s in full Broken or rather Woken mode. It’s going to be interesting to see how he can pin Wyatt, because you know Wyatt loses every time.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins

The main event was for the Raw tag team titles, and it was interesting to see how it all went down. The two teams work really well, and were able to gain the upper hand on each other left and right. However, Cesaro and Sheamus did get a big win with the help of Samoa Joe, and they retained the titles, in one hell of a main event in Los Angeles.

Raw wasn’t half bad. But let’s be honest. There was no Universal Champion, Reigns and Jordan were getting booed, the main event was good, and the rest of the show was just a lot of fluff if you ask me. Not exactly a great one, but not the worst one I’ve ever seen either.

WWE No Mercy 2017 Results and Review

WWE No Mercy 2017 - SRC WWE dot com

WWE No Mercy 2017 was in Los Angeles this past Sunday, and I was watching it live on the WWE Network. I wanted to be in Los Angeles for this, but I blew my proverbial load on going to Las Vegas and Spokane earlier this year. That was a fun trip, and I loved the experience, but here I was stuck without being able to fly out. It doesn’t matter, though. WWE No Mercy came through with some epic matches, but honestly, it wasn’t that grand overall. But there were a few notes to consider.

WWE No Mercy 2017 Results and Review

Elias defeated Apollo Crews

This match started the show, and it wasn’t that bad. Elias is a big guy, and Apollo is so athletic, that these guys put on a good match. Elias definitely has something going for himself. Apollo is a classic character, but he’s floundering with a lackluster crowd out there. Elias gets the win here, and I will walk with Elias any time!

The Miz defeated Jason Jordan

The Los Angeles crowd loved The Miz. The Miz really gave Jason Jordan a good match, and the two were definitely grand overall. It was a fun overall match with Jordan throwing a lot of weight around. The Miz was able to get the win with outside interference, and I liked that a lot. Miz winning garnered a huge pop from the crowd.

Finn Balor defeated Bray Wyatt

Balor had the worst outfit on. I couldn’t stop laughing at it. Wyatt eats another pin. Are you surprised? This match wasn’t that bad, but it also wasn’t that good. Wyatt threw down some great offense, but Balor wins again, and now I hope he can move on to something else. He should be challenging for the title he never lost.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

Another classic match from these guys. Cesaro was able to throw in a great deal of offense, and spots that looked amazing. Cesaro knocked out two teeth at one point, and Ambrose looked to have messed up his shoulder at one point. The match was fun, fast paced, hard hitting, and just made sense a lot. There was a lot of story telling here, and I loved it. This was the best match of the night if you ask me. Great back and forth, and lots of fans going nuts.

Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks, Bayley, Nia Jax, and Emma

Alexa Bliss wins! I’m a fan, and while the rest of the girls put on a good show, they didn’t get the win here. Bliss won with her DDT, and the women really teamed up to take out Nia Jax. Bayley and Sasha worked together for a while, then split up for a moment, and Emma was just getting beat up a lot. Nia Jax took some incredible bumps in this match, and it was awesome.

Roman Reigns defeated John Cena

Wow. Just wow. Cena threw every single thing at Roman Reigns. 4 Attitude Adjustments, Reigns took everything and he still kicked out. Roman Reigns hit the super man punch and a spear, and it was over. Roman Reigns gets credit here for taking everything and the kitchen sink from Cena. Also, for almost breaking his neck spearing Cena through a table. This was great, and the two worked well together. Roman Reigns won clean, in the middle, and that was that. Cena looked to be retiring much like he did in May, but that was the end of this match.

Enzo Amore defeated Neville to Win The WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Neville beat the hell out of Enzo. This match was swift, and after some time, a kick to the nuts garnered Enzo the big win and the title. I kid you not. I’m not sure what’s going on with the Cruiserweights, but this should make for an interesting 205 Live this week, right? Neville deserves better.

Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman

This was not a great match, it was slow and lumbering. But I will give Brock credit for taking a lot of offense. Braun Strowman gave him a decent offering, and Lesnar seemed to be in trouble several times, before Braun Strowman hit many powerslams, but they weren’t enough. Lesnar hit an F5 and then pinned him, and that was it. He cleanly won, and The Monster was defeated. Sigh. Lesnar phones it in. I’m so sick of this guy. A part timer is the champion? Ugh. So boring.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 11, 2017 Results and Review A Lopsided Show of Burials

John Cena defeated Brown Shoeman via DQ - SRC WWE DOT COM

Live from Anaheim, California, Monday Night Raw came through and it wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t half good either. There’s a lot to consider on this show, so I’ll review the HULU version of this show. Raw is very hit or miss, and while I didn’t get to travel to Anaheim for the show, I saw it this morning and drank a beer for breakfast. So let’s discuss the night via HULU’s version of Monday Night Raw for September 11, 2017.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 11, 2017 Results and Review

We got a moment of silence for September 11, 2017. So I won’t say anything about it. Let’s pause.

Roman Reigns defeated Jason Jordan

Jason Jordan once again pushed through the offense of Roman Reigns and delivered a great deal of offense. I was impressed with him, even though the audience may not have cared that much. His rolling Northern Lights Suplex is incredible, and it’s an absolute great thing to watch. Reigns eventually put him away, with a lot of great shots, and his standard offense, but Jordan was not a slouch here, and I liked that. Good work from Jordan, and good for Reigns as well, but the crowd wasn’t into this one. Too bad, it wasn’t a bad match.

John Cena Buries Roman Reigns on the MIC

Once again John Cena buries Roman Reigns on the mic after the match. Oh boy.

Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman Brawl

Paul Heyman came out and started to talk about the upcoming match up that they will have in Los Angeles. Lesnar got beat down, and it was embarrassing. I’m going to predict that the match ends in a disqualification, and Lesnar does not lose his title. I’m so tired of Brock.

Bray Wyatt defeated Goldust

This was not shown on HULU

The Raw Tag Division Brawled

If by division you just mean 2 teams, then yes. Only 2 teams were brawling, maybe 3, but that’s it. That’s the whole division? Ok.

Elias defeated Kalisto

Isn’t Kalisto under 205 pounds? Why is he not on 205 Live? Anyways, this wasn’t shown on HULU.

John Cena defeated Braun Strowman via Disqualification

Not a bad match, if you like Strowman bulldozing Cena. That’s all this was, the majority of the match was Strowman beating down Cena and bouncing back from the offense that the guy threw at him. Cena won via disqualification.

Sasha Banks defeated Emma

This was not shown on HULU

The Miz and Maryse Is Having A Child

Miz TV started and announced that the couple will be having a kid. Good for them. Maryse is beautiful and Miz deserves his success, and obviously having a kid is awesome.

Enzo Amore defeated The Miz via Diqualification

Enzo won this match, but only because he got beat down a great deal. The Miz ran Enzo down on the mic though, and it wasn’t half bad, but this match was another burial of Enzo.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins with The Hardy Boyz defeated Cesaro, Sheamus, Luke Gallows, and Ken Anderson

This wasn’t a half bad match, but the Club Sandwich boys again lose thanks to the former champs running away. Ambrose and Rollins were great, The Hardys are always fun to see, and that’s about it. This wasn’t bad, unless you’re a Club fan, because they got buried yet again.

That’s about it. The show was like a mayonnaise sandwich without a lot of great wrestling. But it was entertaining enough for me to comment on these things briefly. If you saw it, then you know, this wasn’t a bad show, but it wasn’t great either. A little action here was fun, but overall, nothing really got me interested, other than the possibility of a Braun Strowman championship run. Other than that, meh.

This isn’t a show that you have to see. But it’s one that was a little better than the past few weeks.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 31, 2017 Results and Review The Backwards Showcase

Samoa Joe Looked Like A Chump - SRC wwe.com 

I finally am sitting down to review the show, and despite the fact that I don’t have many readers, It was important for me to get through this one. Why? Because I need something to vent my displeasure with how WWE Raw went down this week. I saw the HULU version, but it felt like it was 9 hours long, and despite the fact that the feed only has a select amount of information in the 90 minutes, it didn’t feel shorter for some reason. With that in mind, let’s consider what went down, and how I felt about it, because this is a site where I discuss pro wrestling from WWE, and well that’s about it.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 31, 2017 Results and Review

From the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, there was NO ECW chants that I recall, meaning the crowd is definitely not what they used to be, that’s for sure.

Kurt Angle came out only to get interrupted by Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. They said that they were going to quit if Lesnar lost at Summerslam. They aren’t going to lose, mind you.

The Hardy Boyz defeated The Club Sandwich Guys

Well, the Club are officially a bunch of nerds. They lose again, and while the Revival and the Club decided to try and beat up the Hardy’s they couldn’t get it done. Team Extreme once again buries the young talent, and that’s the end of that. I can only hope that they become broken.

Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, and Akira Tozawa defeated TJP, Ariya Daivari, and Tony Nese

This was not on HULU

Jason Jordan on Miz TV

What a load of garbage. Jason Jordan gives an Angle Slam, I think, to the Miz into the Miztourage, and that was that. Jordan is not ready for this push.

Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus

This was a boring match, that led to Sheamus and Cesaro beating up Rollins. Dean Ambrose ran down to help him out. This made no sense. Ambrose said that he was going to go his own way, and Rollins would have to go his own way, but here he is saving the day for some reason. This makes absolutely no sense to me folks. Why would he do this? He shouldn’t care about Rollins, as it’s none of his business. But alas, he ran down, and the two tried to beat up the champions. This made no sense.

Finn Balor attacked Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt rambles on and on, and said that no one can beat him, etc. I don’t know who to cheer for here, the Wyatt character sucks, but you know what? Alex Wright 2.0 is worth checking out, so maybe he’ll do well in this feud.

Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman

Of course he did. I didn’t like this match at all, as Joe looked weak and so did Strowman. Strowman made quick work of Joe, and Reigns was able to get the big win after hitting Strowman with the steel steps. Joe really got booted here, from the start, making him look weak amidst the other guys. This should’ve been the main event, but alas, it wasn’t. This was a good television match, but man, I wish Joe didn’t look so much like a chump here.

Elias defeated Kalisto

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Bayley defeated Nia Jax via Count Out

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Big Cass defeated Big Show via Disqualification

This was a boring, terrible match. Big Cass has new boring music, Big Show got winded fast, and Enzo came out to try and beat up Cass, only to get booted and knocked out. Cass then got hit in the face with that knockout punch, and that was it. That’s your Raw.

This was a boring episode of Raw, with little to no action in my view. Yes, there were some good moments, like the Hardy’s getting the best of the other teams, and watching Rollins get beat up by Cesaro and Sheamus. However, nothing that happened on this show hyped me up for Summerslam, which is the main goal of Raw right now, right? Ugh, this was a boring, flat show with a lot of boring moments, including that terrible main event. Why would they put Cass and Show on last? It makes no sense. What a terrible night of pro wrestling, if you can call it that.

WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 Results and Review

Lesnar Really Earned The Paycheck This TIme - SRC WWE.COM

Some people are calling this the best event that the WWE has put together since Wrestlemania. Others are not so happy with the results. Me? I had a blast watching a great deal of the matches, and while I wasn’t in Dallas, I really wish that I was there. Oh well. The great thing about WWE’s build up thus far is that they were able to put in a lot of effort into pushing certain stories, over others. But that doesn’t mean that the show was amazing on all arenas, there were some missteps, but here we go, this is how it went down, and what I thought of the show, now that I’ve had 24 hours to stew on it, so to speak.

WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 Review

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Akira Tozawa

Not a terrible match, but it was obvious that Neville was only going half speed. Tozawa is good, and he put on a showcase, but Titus and him couldn’t get this win over Neville. I’m souring on the cruiserweights, and I’m not sure how long WWE is going to push the show, if they are going to do so at all in the near future, oh well. This match was good, but too bad it was an opener and not on the main card.

Bray Wyatt def. Seth Rollins

The eater of pins got a clean win on Seth Rollins. Some say it wasn’t clean because of a thumb in the eye, but you know what? He was on the outside, and Rollins was pulling his hair. He came back into the ring, breaking the referee’s count, and pinned Rollins after a Sister Abigail finisher. That’s about as clean as you’re going to get folks.

Big Cass def. Enzo Amore

Enzo cut a cool promo, but then got beat down. He lost big time. Cass is big, he gets the win. Not a great match. Enzo is done in the WWE if you ask me.

Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus def. The Hardy Boyz (30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match)

This was a fun 30 minute match, and the two teams put on a clinic if you ask me. I loved it. I loved how Matt even got busted open the hard way. The teams are so good together, and they just gel during the whole match. All of the offense and defense was fun, and the timing went well. Just a lot of great spots here, and some great overall timing on the part of both teams. I loved it. Great iron man match, and this feud rolls on, again.

Sasha Banks def. Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss via Count-out

Sasha Banks was able to beat Alexa Bliss after a great back and forth battle, but only because Bliss got herself counted out. That means that she kept the title, which is what I’ve been saying all along about the heel champions. They should pull this more often. As for Banks, she is great, and was able to launch herself off the top of the announcers table, with double knees, and busted Bliss mouth wide open. A great spot, a good match, and smart booking if you ask me.

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Dean Ambrose

I didn’t care for this match, but Bo Dallas looking like the One Man Gang was cool. The MIz won with the help of his crew, and Ambrose is going to need a new partner to square off against, if you ask me. I’m tired of his phoning it in.

Braun Strowman def. Roman Reigns (Ambulance Match)

I didn’t expect this match to be as entertaining as it was. It was definitely a fast paced, fluid match, and the two put on a show. Roman Reigns was over zealous at one point and launched himself into the Ambulance, and LOST clean! He got so mad, however, that he threw Braun into the ambulance and then rammed it into a semi. He nearly KILLED Strowman, in storyline. This is nothing new. People are talking a heel turn, I don’t know. I liked this match, and am glad Strowman got the win. He may be next for Lesnar, and will most likely lose.

Heath Slater def. Curt Hawkins

Wow! Heath Slater and Curt Hawkins were sent out to battle, and the WWE didn’t even show it for the most part. Slater won, but the show was not showing the match, the cameras showed the ambulance and Braun backstage.

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar def. Samoa Joe

This reminded me of the WWF Championship run that The Undertaker had in 1997. If you remember the matches after Wrestlemania 13, you will realize that The Undertaker fought everyone off in really competitive matches until meeting head first against Bret Hart at Summerslam. That match was epic, but he fought off Farooq, Stone Cold, and many others on the way to Summerslam that year. Lesnar could very well be that good, if he wrestled more often, but this match was great. Joe was not afraid, and he put the boots to Lesnar, and even went to Suplex city many times. However, one F5 later, and Joe loses clean in under 10 minutes. This was a great match for what it was, even if it was short. I hate Lesnar now, but hey, Joe got the best of him, and there’s no telling where this is going. Joe showed me that he could and should be champion, if you ask me.

There you have it, the big event is over, and the matches are done. Who knows what is going to go down tonight on Raw, but it’s going to be an interesting one, no doubt.

WWE Monday Night Raw May 8, 2017 Results and Review Vince Russo Is Back

Cool Boots Yo - SRC wwe.com 

If you tuned into Monday Night Raw last night, then you swore that Vince Russo was back. That’s how stupid and idiotic the show became at times. In fact, it was so bad, that I got into an argument on a Facebook group, and eventually got booted out. That’s the second group of internet wrestling fans that I have made upset. To the point where I’m sour on meeting other wrestling fans, because they all seem to be jerks, idiots, and have a podcast where they get to make a one sided conversation about things. They can GTFO for all I care. There’s a reason why I can’t have friends, apparently. Man, I hope Carlo Moss and Lump are doing well, I’m sure they would agree with me on some of these stupid decisions made by Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results

Kurt Angle named Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose the acting General Manager of Raw
Finn Bálor def. The Miz
Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss def. Mickie James
Roman Reigns attacked Braun Strowman
Cesaro and  Sheamus won a Tag Team Turmoil Match to become No. 1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championship
Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe via Disqualification
TJP def. Gentleman Jack Gallagher
Sasha Banks def. Alicia Fox
Bray Wyatt def. Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose

WWE Monday Night Raw Review

Why in the blue hell would Kurt Angle give Dean Ambrose control of the show? Isn’t he the lunatic fringe? What does that even mean any more? Seriously? What the hell? So Dean is in charge, for now, but you’ll find out that Miz is also in charge! Oh god, why?

Finn Bálor def. The Miz

Finn Balor, when he is not the Demon King, is just another European wrestler. He has no charisma, and if he were given a dance move, just one dance move, he would be Alex Freakin Wright! No, Alex Wright actually held championships in WCW and beat some of the top talent. What has Balor done? He can’t even cut a damn promo, I don’t know a thing he’s saying. The Miz got the BRICKS beaten out of him in this match, and he’s constantly relegated to getting beat down. He’s so over with the fans, and yet the booking committee wants to see him get beat all the time. Sure, that’s a way to build credibility, have a guy lose every match. Balor won after a slew of kicks, and random fast offense. It surprises me that he is doing so much power wrestling, considering he just came off of a concussion, but hey, what do I know, right?

Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss def. Mickie James

Mickie James went from being one hell of a heel, to being a smiley face baby with Bayley on her side. Bliss aligned herself with Nia Jax, promising her a title match down the road if they were friend snow. Mickie James is great in ring, I love her style, and Bliss did well here. Bliss is phenomenal, and I’m absolutely impressed with how she carries herself in the ring. Great stuff here.

Roman Reigns attacked Braun Strowman

Kalisto was supposed to fight Brown Shoeman in a one-armed wrestling match. Well, that didn’t happen because Roman Reigns showed up and beat up Strowman. Word on the street is that he’s injured now, and he will not take on Bork Lazer.

Speaking of Bork. Where the hell is the damn champion? Why does Raw have a champion that is NEVER on television? Why hasn’t Dean defended his title? Why is anyone champion at this point if they are never going to wrestle for it? Kayfabe is dead, and logic is also dead. This is a load of garbage. Kalisto is wasted here.

Cesaro and Sheamus won a Tag Team Turmoil Match to become No. 1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championship

Why would these guys just bury everyone? They buried all other teams fast, and will once again face the Hardy Boys. I guarantee the Boys are going to be “Broken” in due time. Terrible match, terrible pacing, burying your tag division like this is just dumbfounding.

Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe via Disqualification

Well, this makes no sense. What is Seth Rollins’ character now? What does Samoa Joe do? He already lost. What the hell is this feud? I don’t care about this at all, and you shouldn’t either. This was beyond boring.

TJP def. Gentleman Jack Gallagher

This was a workable match. TJP is killer in the ring, but he’s lost in the shuffle of this division. This whole division sucks. Gallagher is great, he puts on a show every time he’s in the ring, and it is always nice to see him get a win. This wasn’t his night though, TJP gets the victory in a division that is definitely floundering.

Sasha Banks def. Alicia Fox

Do I really need to comment on this? Sasha Banks is the boss of what? More like the administrative assistant at this point. Boring.

Bray Wyatt def. Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose

Well, well, a non-title match. Bray Wyatt is the king of non-title match wins, isn’t he? He can’t win anything else, but as soon as you put him in a match in which he works a champion and doesn’t have the title on the line, he wins in dominant fashion. Wyatt is wasted here.

I thought it was time to shake things up? Why are all the Raw matches the same as Smackdown? I’ve already seen all of these feuds on Smackdown! Where is the champion? Why is this the A show? Why am I still watching?

Oh and why do internet wrestling fans get so damn butt hurt if you have an opinion that doesn’t align with what they feel? Seriously. You say one negative thing and they start crying like a bunch of babies. Also, big middle finger to RBR Wrestling and Smart Wrestling Fan, my least favorite podcasts, hosted by a bunch of babies. GTFO, I’m unsubscribed for a reason. Bunch of idiots. Idiots, I say!

WWE Monday Night Raw April 24, 2017 Results and Review Leave Your Brain At The Door

This Guy Lost The Match - SRC WWE.COM

WWE Monday Night Raw took me a long time to watch. I fell asleep several times. I couldn’t get past how ludicrous some of the booking was. I had a hard time thinking about the reality of how terrible this showcase of WWE truly was. I eventually made it through, and boy, was it hard to really work through. Here are my thoughts on WWE Monday Night Raw April 24, 2017.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 24, 2017 Results

The Miz, Dean Ambrose and Jericho Talk A Lot
Matt Hardy defeated Sheamus
Austin Aries and Jack Gallagher defeated Neville and Tj Perkins
Kalisto defeated Braun Strowman in a dumpster match
Dana Brooke defeated Alicia Fox
Finn Balor, Seth Rollins and Big Cass defeated Samoa Joe, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson
Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss via Count Out
Apollo Crews defeated Curt Hawkins
Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho vs. The Miz and Bray Wyatt (No Contest)

WWE Monday Night Raw April 24, 2017 Review

I long for the days where WWE didn’t open their show with 20 to 30 minutes of talking. The Miz interrupted the Highlight Reel, and that led Ambrose to come out and interrupt MIz TV for the Ambrose Asylum. The best part of this was Ambrose giving Chris Jericho a jacket that had Christmas tree lights sewn into it. It was a funny gesture, but other than that, this was a hard segment to get going through. It’s a slow moving segment with boredom written all over it. The Miz is still good, and you know, if I ever meet him, I’m going to tell him as much. He’s one hell of a performer, and Maryse helps him a great deal. Ambrose and Jericho seem to be phoning it in at this point. Oh well.

Matt Hardy defeated Sheamus

Matt Hardy was going back and forth between the Broken gimmick in ring. Sheamus and Hardy work fine together. This was not a bad match by any means. I thought for sure Hardy would lose this one, since Jeff won last week. Not so, this time around Sheamus was distracted and Matt won thanks to that. Afterwards, Sheamus and Cesaro shook hands with the Hardy Boyz and that was it. A workable match, with not a lot to write home about. If the goal of Raw is to be entertaining, this was definitely a highlight for me.

Austin Aries and Jack Gallagher defeated Neville and Tj Perkins

I don’t mind the cruiserweights, but they are becoming oversaturated. How so? Well, I mean just these 4 guys over and over again. Even on 205 Live, these guys are getting the same matchups and matches and it’s starting to get tired. There should be more variety. That being said, this was not a bad match, it was just fast paced, and obviously not given a lot of time. Neville and Perkins would lose this one, and that is about it.

Kalisto defeated Braun Strowman in a dumpster match

Kalisto, wow, I gotta admit he has big balls. However, the crowd was dead for this, Strowman tried to rile up the crowd by calling them all trash, and it was just bad. Strowman did his normal thing here, and Kalisto tried to outsmart the big guy. Kalisto eventually got the upper hand with Strowman stepping into the dumpster, I kid you not. Strowman fell into the dumpster and that made him mad, as he lost the match. Strowman then beat up Kalisto, threw him in the dumpster, and then threw him off the 2 foot stage. Look, this is not 1998. If you go back in time, you’ll realize that Terry Funk was legit injured in that angle because of the height of the stage, and the fact that there was no padding in the trash can. Even at Mania, you could see Funk’s giant bruises on his back, he was torn up. This was not as brutal, it was safer, but it made no sense for Strowman to lose.

If I would have booked this. I would have Strowman dump Kalisto into the dumpster, then close 1 flap, and when the second one was about to shut, an arm would stop it. That arm? Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns would then beat up Strowman, and call in for the Shield, and they would save Kalisto and help him win the match. That makes a lot more sense. This loss, however, was not logical at all.

Dana Brooke defeated Alicia Fox

I love Dana Brooke’s look. I find her sexy, and would love to meet her, and discuss the finer things in life. Ok, maybe not that much. Alicia Fox and Dana Brooke had a very bad match here, and Brooke botched her finish. I didn’t like it, but I really want Brooke to get over, and of course I like Alicia FOOOXXXX. This was bad.

Finn Balor, Seth Rollins and Big Cass defeated Samoa Joe, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson

This was thrown together after The Club Sandwich boys beat up Enzo. Cass was taken out by Samoa Joe, and then this set up Finn as the third man. This wasn’t half bad, it was a good workable match, but I think it’s bad to have the bad guys lose here. Joe and the Club Sandwich guys should win here, and then have the match thrown out or reversed because of brutality. But alas, that did not happen.

Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss via Count Out

Alexa Bliss is stellar on the mic. She ran down the Raw women’s roster on the mic and basically called out everyone. Banks and Bayley came out and tried to counter, but they were bad. I mean really bad. Sasha at one point said that Bayley as the champ calls the shots. Well, Ms. Banks, how are you the boss if you aren’t calling shots? Last I checked, Bosses call the shots, not the chumps. This set up a match in which Bliss got counted out, and that was that. Alexa on the mic is great, and her overall work rate is so good, I hope she takes the title and just runs with it.

Apollo Crews defeated Curt Hawkins

I honestly love Curt Hawkins. I would love for him to get a push. But alas, he didn’t. He got buried here yet again, and Crews did his best to try to get over in the win. Crews would celebrate the win with Titus, as he ran down and raised his hand. I guess this is a thing now? What happened to making Darren Young great again? Oh well.

Dean Ambrose and Chris Jericho vs. The Miz and Bray Wyatt (No Contest)

The main event started, and I was hoping for something great. The Miz was supposed to get a tag partner, and didn’t get anyone to come out. After some fighting alone, Bray Wyatt showed up and beat everyone up, including the Miz. That ended the show, and honestly, it makes little to no sense for me.

Does Bray Wyatt want the Intercontinental Title? What does he want? He isn’t battling for the WWE Title this weekend, so what gives? What is the point here? Why is Ambrose phoning it in? Why is Chris Jericho looking like a chump here? I don’t understand the booking logic of Monday Night Raw, and most people probably don’t either. At the end of the day, Raw was not a great show. It had a few good moments, but let me ask, where was Nia Jax? Or why hasn’t Brock shown up? Where is Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado? Heck, why does Raw feel like it’s 9 hours long? All these questions and more, next time, I’m sure.

WWE Wrestlemania 33 Predictions

This weekend, a lot of wrestling is going to happen. While I will be reviewing and discussing NXT Takeover, I am not going to discuss it right now. I’m not going put predictions on it, even though I know The Drifter is going to the main roster.

What I will be talking about, however, is Wrestlemania 33 predictions. These are based on my opinions and not spoilers. I am not going to Wrestlemania this year, but maybe I will go next year. I don’t know. I don’t have any friends, and don’t know anyone, so I’m going to explore other options first.

WWE Universal Title Match
Bill Goldberg defeated Brock Lesnar

I’ve crunched the numbers. I’ve watched old Goldberg matches, and I’m going to say that this one is easy booking for me. Bill Goldberg is once again going to bury Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is going to get embarrassed because of all of the b.s. that he has said in the past. He has gone on record to say that he doesn’t give a flying F about what Stephanie McMahon thinks, and is only into wrestling for the money. Well, let’s teach him a lesson, Goldberg will bury him, then the title will get dropped via Money In The Bank or another method. Goldberg will beat Bork Lazer, bank on it!

WWE Title Match
Bray Wyatt defeats Randy Orton

Bray Wyatt and Orton will wrestle a stiff match because they have no chemistry. I expect Rowan and Harper to show up and align themselves with Bray Wyatt again. Orton will lose, and that’s going to be the end. Unless, he was promised a title because of doing the job to Lesnar and getting busted open hard way.

Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match for the RAW Women's Title
Bayley defeats Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair

Bayley retains her title. There is going to be a point where Bayley’s friendship is going to get tested. She’s going to pick up the pieces of a Nia Jax and Sasha Banks beat down. Flair will not be a factor, and Bayley will have to decide if she is really friends with Sasha Banks or if the title means more. This is going to be the story, but Bayley will win and hang on by a thread.

WWE United States Title Match
Kevin Owens defeats Chris Jericho

Kevin Owens and Jericho will put on a fine match, but it’s going to be Owens that wins and that’s that. He will have the United States title, and will get booked like a chicken again, and we won’t ever know about the prize fighter’s legacy, because the booking will be stupid. Jericho will go tour with Fozzy.

WWE Intercontinental Title Match
Baron Corbin defeats Dean Ambrose

Baron Corbin will not only win against Dean Ambrose, he’s going to do it with a quotation mark tied to it. Look for Ambrose to do his normal spots, and get bored in the middle of the match, with Corbin finally getting a title and holding onto it for a long time.

Triple Threat Ladder Match for the RAW Tag Team Titles
Enzo Amore & Big Cass defeates Sheamus & Cesaro and Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson

Assuming the Hardy Boyz are not going to crash the party, I’m going to say that Big Cass and Enzo somehow pull it together and defeat the Club Sandwich boys and the foreigners.

However, if the Hardy Boyz crash the party, they will win the tag team titles, and the crowd will erupt in “delete” chants.

Non-Sanctioned Match
Seth Rollins defeats Triple H

Seth Rollins will edge out a victory here. However, Triple H is going to beat the bricks off of Rollins. Rollins will need help getting to the back, and Triple H may bleed for this one.

Roman Reigns defeats The Undertaker

Well, this is the end. The Undertaker will retire after this. Roman will remain strong, and that’s that. Good night old man.

The Miz and Maryse defeats John Cena and Nikki Bella
Special Guest Ring Announcer: Al Roker

John Cena is not only going to lose, he’s going to lose big. Nikki Bella is going to betray him because she is going to realize that Cena will never commit. Cena will go for a tag, or will need help, and she will leave him hanging. The Miz and Maryse will then put the boots to him and he’ll lose. This will cause him to throw in the towel on his good guy antics and he’ll be a super heel.

Shane McMahon defeats AJ Styles

The way they are booking Aj Styles, I’m going to say that he is going to lose against Shane McMahon. I don’t want to see this, so I’ll just say that Shane wins with the help of Daniel Bryan.

Kickoff Pre-show:
WWE Cruiserweight Title Match
Neville defeats Austin Aries

Austin Aries will put on a great match. But he will not win. He is going to lose big, and it’s going to be a major detriment. Neville is going to pull out all the stops, but he’s not going to win easily. Austin Aries is going to get his mouth shut, hard way. Here’s hoping that Mustafa Ali gets the title, that dude is bomb yo. Austin Aries will lose.

Kickoff Pre-show:
Six-Pack Challenge for the SmackDown Women's Title
Naomi defeats Mickie James, Carmella, Natalya, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss

Naomi is going to show the crowd the power of Glow, but the time her match is slated to begin, it will still be light, won’t it? Whatever the case is, this match will end with Naomi getting the pinfall, and that’s about it.

Kickoff Pre-show:
Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
Brown Shoeman will win the Battle Royal

Braun Strowman, Sami Zayn, Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, Apollo Crews, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Chad Gable, Jason Jordan, Mark Henry, Titus O'Neil, Goldust, R-Truth, Curtis Axel, Primo, Epico, Bo Dallas, Jinder Mahal, Rhyno, Heath Slater, Mojo Rawley, Curt Hawkins, Tyler Breeze, Fandango, Simon Gotch, Aiden English, Kalisto, Viktor, Konnor, Sin Cara

That’s it. Brown Shoeman will win this one that’s it.

As for anything else on the show, I don’t know. I’m going to be sitting at home, drinking as much as I can, and eating more pizza than I know what to do with. I may be right on these, I may be wrong, no matter what though, I’m going to enjoy myself.

WWE Smackdown Live March 28, 2017 Results and Review Cornette Face All Over This Show

Jim Cornette Face All day for This - SRC WWE.COM

What the hell was this?

No, seriously, what the hell were they thinking?

WWE Smackdown Live was supposed to be a show that competed with Raw, but you know what? It has completely jumped the shark in a whole new way. This is by far one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of WCW. Are we sure that Vince Russo isn’t booking this again? This is an absolute nightmare of a show. I don’t even want to review it, but for the sake of this blog, let’s discuss a few things about it.

WWE Smackdown Live March 28, 2017 Results

The opening of the show was not wrestling mind you, it was Shane McMahon and Aj Styles. Oh, and there was no Mauro Ronallo! Mama Mia, sounds like someone’s going to get fired.

Aj Styles and Shane McMahon had a contract signing for an hour

This is stupid. Aj Styles is wasting his talent wrestling a part time manager. No disrespect to Shane McMahon, but this is the best in the world, he shouldn’t be wrestling Shane at Wrestlemania. He should be in the main event wrestling for a title. This is how stupid WWE is, they will get the best talent in the world, and then put them in non-sense type matches, strip them of all of their talent, and let them basically get thrown into something stupid. I want to bang my head against a wall at the booking of this stupidity.

Becky Lynch vs. Carmella went to a no contest

This match didn’t go far, because Mickie James and Alexa Bliss started fighting and got into the match.

Alexa Bliss and Carmella defeated Becky Lynch and Mickie James

Why is Mickie James friendly with Becky Lynch? James is the one that caused Lynch her title! Not only that, Bliss and Carmella shouldn’t be friends either, and this match was absolutely garbage. This was a rushed match with a commercial shoe horned into the middle of it. Bliss and Carmella won, but it was a sour match with a lot of stupid components.

Afterwards, Naomi showed up, and the crowd went nuts. I like her, she’s rad. I hope she wins. Other than that, I don’t know.

Miz TV Segment Went Long

Miz TV again made fun of John Cena, and it was stupid. The best part was when Daniel Bryan showed up and got made fun of. Well, The Miz playing Daniel Bryan, I loved it.

John Cena showed up and cut a serious promo. But let’s not forget something.

The Miz defeated John Cena in the main event of Wrestlemania. Yet The Miz did not say anything about this. John Cena basically cut a serious promo on him, and yet no come back? Really? Really? GTFO.

Mojo Rawley, Heath Slater, Rhyno, and American Alpha defeated Dolph Ziggler, Breezango, and The Usos

Bring out your shovels, the tag team division was buried in this match. The five winners will go to the Andre The Giant battle royal, and the losers? They will not be on Wrestlemania. That includes Ziggler! What a waste. Oh and that also includes the tag team champions! What the hell WWE, seriously, what are you doing?

Bray Wyatt defeated Luke Harper

The burial of Luke Harper is complete. This wasn’t a great match at all, and Harper loses clean, which leads me to hate Wyatt and the family. I’m just tired of people saying Smackdown is better than Raw only to have stupid booking like this.

Randy Orton agreed to look like a complete cartoon character idiot

Oh my goodness. This was how they ended the show? This is how they push the feud? Do I really need to discuss how dumb this was? I can’t believe how stupid this was. I can’t. I just can’t. Cornette face is all I can think of, what a lousy show, what a terrible bit of writing. This is absolutely stupid, Stupid!

WWE Smackdown Live March 21, 2017 Results and Review Aj Styles Gets Buried

This Is How You Bury Your Talent - SRC WWE.COM

WWE Smackdown Live continually gets praised. People think it’s a better show than Monday Night Raw, and you know what?

They are damn wrong.

If this is better, then you are an idiot. You’re just an idiot. This is not better, it’s actually a lot worse, and there’s a few reasons why. Let’s look at this b.s.

WWE Smackdown Live March 21, 2017 Review

Aj Styles sat around the parking lot waiting for Shane McMahon, hoping he could again beat him up. He started the show in ring to talk. TO TALK! The same format as Raw, and the parody South Park did in the past.

The Usos defeated American Alpha for the World Tag Team Titles

Have you ever eaten a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread? That’s what American Alpha is like. The crowd was dying most of the time, and they perked up for The Usos. The Usos are over, but not as over as Heath Slater and Rhyno. The Tag Titles changed hands here in a good overall match. American Alpha seem like the Steiner’s at times, but they lack that charisma that the brothers had. The Usos won this match, and the tag team titles are an afterthought in this opener from Smackdown.
Randy Orton defeated Baron Corbin

Randy Orton was able to win a good back and forth match with Baron Corbin. This wasn’t a burial, mind you, it was a good match, with Dean Ambrose distracting Corbin in this one. It wasn’t grand, but hey, it was workable none the less.

Bray Wyatt almost Blew Randy Orton

Bray Wyatt kidnapped Randy Orton, then got on his knees as though he was going to blow the guy, and sung to him. B.S.

John Cena defeated Fandango

John Cena and Nikki Bella buried Breezdango. I kid you not. Tyler Breeze came out dressed like Nikki, the real Nikki came out and then buried him, while Cena buried Fandango. I wish this was an exaggeration. It’s not. This really happened.

Carmella vs. Becky Lynch went to a no contest

The match barely went a minute or two. The best part here was the melee of women that ensued, all of the women coming out to fight. But that wasn’t the best part of it, the best was Becky Lynch coming off the top rope and hitting James Ellsworth with a missile dropkick. That was awesome! I marked out huge.

Aj Styles was buried by Shane McMahon

The end of the show featured Aj Styles getting buried by Shane McMahon. I kid you not. Aj Styles got hit with a flurry of slaps and random punches, only to get throw out of the ring and beaten up. Then Shane went to the top rope and drove Styles through a table. If this is not a burial, you don’t know what it means to be buried.

Shane McMahon is NOT a wrestler. Aj Styles went from headlining, being the champion, to basically getting buried by a non-wrestler, son of the owner. What a load of crap. This is supposed to get me excited about Wrestlemania? Lame. Absolutely lame.

Smackdown is not the B show, it’s the C or D show of the WWE line up. What a garbage showcase.

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Results and Review Super Bray Wyatt

WWE Smackdonwn Live came and went on my birthday. I noticed that NO ONE on social media wished me a happy birthday, and that was a bit lame. That happens, though, you get ignored a lot when you’re me. This show was predictable at times, and at others, not so predictable, but with some good flow. Here is what went down and some ideas on what I thought about it.

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Results

American Alpha def. The Ascension
Baron Corbin savagely attacked Dean Ambrose
Mickie James def. Becky Lynch
WWE Champion Bray Wyatt def. John Cena and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat Match

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Review

There are a lot of pundits that will tell you this show is better than Raw, but I absolutely do not believe that. Not only was this week’s Raw a little better, it had more overall wrestling, and it shows. Just look at this line up that people paid up to 400 dollars a ticket for.

American Alpha def. The Ascension

American Alpha is about exciting as a mayonnaise sandwich. These guys are great athletes, no doubt, but without a lot of great teams to work with, they are just boring. This match was predictable, and boring. The only highlight was the USOS doing a pre-taped video to disrupt their celebration.

Baron Corbin savagely attacked Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose was supposed to fight James Ellsworth, but he never got to the ring. Corbin showed up and beat him down. Perhaps Corbin will win the IC title.

Mickie James def. Becky Lynch

A rematch from the PPV and I already knew that James would get her win back, and it happened. Mickie James worked well here, Lynch did ok, but it wasn’t as good as their PPV match at all, and the ending came with Mickie James pretending to be hurt, only to get the last laugh.

WWE Champion Bray Wyatt def. John Cena and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat Match

Wyatt got beat down before the match, but he overcame it. Aj Styles and Cena threw together some good spots, as usual, but it was Bray Wyatt that is not being booked as super man, because he took a beating, and still came back to win here. Afterwards, Orton said that he didn’t want to fight Wyatt at Wrestlemania. Oh well.

This was a lousy show. It had very little wrestling, and a lot of random vignettes, and stories that don’t make a lot of sense to me. 205 Live had more wrestling, and more power, if you ask me. This was a waste of my time.

WWE Smackdown Live January 10, 2017 Results and Review Let’s Bury Corbin

Don't Tell Me This Is Not A Burial!!!

WWE Smackdown is supposed to be a B show, and you know what? It certainly is, because they seem to only showcase the same old B.S. and if ever there was proof, this was the night to show it off. Let’s discuss a few of the finer points of Smackdown Live.

WWE Smackdown Live January 10, 2017 Review

Natalya and Nikki Bella didn’t really do much to further their feud, it was another No Contest as they beat each other up with no refs pulling apart, etc. Oh well, the match, or whatever this was sucked and you know it.

Kalisto defeated Dolph Ziggler because he’s a loser.

Ziggler loses again? Are you kidding me? He turns heel last week, only to lose to Kalisto this week? Ziggler can’t win, and I’m not buying this turn, it’s stupid.

American Alpha needs Kurt Angle!

American Alpha is the white bread and mayonnaise sandwich of the WWE. They are great wrestlers, but they are boring compared to the Wyatt Family. Speaking of which, Orton is going to turn on them so bad and things are going to get interesting, right? Sure, why not? This match was run at half speed, and if you noticed it, you’ve been a wrestling fan a long time, congratulations.

Carmella and James Ellsworth should do it.

I wish I was Ellsworth, that’s for sure.

Steel Cage women’s Title Match!!!

This should be interesting, except for the fact that there will be no blood. Plus we already saw a women’s Hell in a Cell and people were crapping all over it. If there’s blood, I’m all in, if there isn’t, well, I guess that’s ok too. I don’t expect much from this match, by the way.

John Cena Buried Baron Corbin

John Cena and Corbin put on a match that was seriously boring. This was telegraphed as a Cena win all along and guess what happened? Cena buries another young talent. Corbin looking strong would’ve been great. Heck it would have been the thing that he needed to get over as a top guy, instead, he loses here. I hope he screws Cena out of the title win at the Rumble, and then goes on to face him in a WINNING effort anywhere else, otherwise, I’m going to be saddened by the future endeavors of Corbin. I mean, this is 2010 all over again, when Cena buried The Nexus several times.

Dean Ambrose is the most boring man alive.

Why does the WWE insist on giving talk show segments to everyone? Ambrose isn’t a lunatic, he’s a boring wrestler, and a boring talker. If the WWE really wants to make him stand out, let him go back to that lunatic fringe element. Have him rolling in with a parade, a drum line, and random B.S. instead of trying to force another segment where there’s a lot of talking. Southpark was right, there’s too much talking in wrestling.

If this was the A show? I don’t get it. I don’t want to see this anymore, simple as that. This was a boring showcase, with a few matches that were interesting, but not given enough time.

Wow, Tuesday has just become longer if you’re a wrestling fan. Not only will I be posting this review, but I will also be talking about 206 Live. That’s a full 3 hours of wrestling on Tuesday, and of course 3 hours for Raw, and a PPV this week, and in a couple of weeks? That’s a LOT of wrestling, or rather, entertainment as they now call it. Whatever the case is, here we go, another long winded array of crap.

WWE Smackdown Live November 29, 2016 Review

Things got heated between Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss during their TLC contract signing

Becky Lynch is a beautiful woman. So is Alexa Bliss. However, I can’t understand what Lynch is saying. She sounds like she has marbles in her mouth, and at times, you can tell that she doesn’t understand the script that she’s saying. It was painfully obvious in her jokes and timing, and Alexa Bliss had to pretend that it stung. It felt very awkward to watch. Lynch and Bliss fought, with Lynch going through a table with her butt. I’m going to predict that Bliss wins the title and Lynch is left in a heap of table scraps. I’m tired of her as champion, that’s for sure.

Dolph Ziggler & Kalisto def. The Miz & Baron Corbin via Disqualification

Boring. NO one cares about these guys, right? I’m so tired of seeing Miz and Ziggler wrestle. Kalisto and Corbin is overshadowed in my book. It’s being overshadowed by Corbin’s receding hairline. Sorry bro, it’s time to shave your head.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Nikki Bella reached her breaking point with Carmella

Carmella came out and laid down some hot fire against Bella. Bella ran out and beat her up. That’s it.

Dean Ambrose hosted The Ambrose Asylum with James Ellsworth

Holy crap. Is there no wrestling on this show? Seriously. Ambrose and Ellsworth chatted, but the real highlight here was Aj Styles. Styles came out and beat the holy crap out of James Ellsworth, and delivered one of the scariest Styles Clashes in the world. He did it off the stairs onto Ellsworth, and this after he nearly crumpled a chair across his back. Ellsworth was stretchered out. Expect him to get revenge at the PPV and cost Ambrose the match somehow.

Kane def. Luke Harper

News Flash! Kane is still relevant somehow? Boring match, Harper goes down, I don’t care. Harper’s younger than I am and already losing his hair.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton def. American Alpha in a SmackDown Tag Team Title No. 1 Contenders’ Match

American Alpha desperately needs Kurt Angle. If Kurt Angle came back as a comedy coach gimmick, I would mark out so huge. American Alpha is great, don’t get me wrong, but this loss only proves that they need a heater. Wyatt and Orton win, but I suspect Orton betraying the family leading to a weird stipulation match that will cause the Wyatt’s to disband.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles engaged in a backstage brawl

Oh, this happened. Yeah. I didn’t care. Did you? Smackdown sucked this week, let’s be honest.
