WWE Smackdown Live September 18, 2018 Results and Review Still The B Show Today

Rusev Day is Done - Source WWE 

The show begins with talking. The Miz starts with MIz TV and ugh, so tired of talking on WWE shows.

The Miz called out Daniel Bryan and that forced Bryan to run down and beat up the MIz, only to have him hit Miz and drive him into Maryse. This thing just became a blood feud, which is an interesting element overall. This little focus was interesting, and Bryan seemed to be saddened by how this worked out. This thing got emotional, and Maryse did a stretcher job….nope, she was playing possum and The Miz attacked only to knock Maryse off the apron, and then Bryan knocking Miz out of the ring to the crowd going all out.

Cesaro defeated Kofi Kingston

A great back and forth match, with a lot of action, and good overall flow, we got Cesaro showing off just how good of a wrestler he can be. Kofi is great too, and he threw down some great moments, as he got the L on this one. This could very well be the best match in the WWE this week, so I had fun watching it go down. Cesaro is a beast, yo, a true beast.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Rusev

A distraction roll up ends a match that was actually pretty good. But since it ended with a distraction roll up and this is the end of RUSEV day, I give up. I’m just going to throw papers in the air and give up. Aiden English after the fact just starts beating up Rusev, why? I don’t get it. This is stupid. Meh. Meh!

Aj Styles defeated Andrade Cien Almas

Almas should have won this match. He was fresh, he didn’t have a match Sunday, and he was just a better wrestler here, as Aj Styles sold his injuries from the match he had on Sunday. While he did a great deal of selling, Almas didn’t get run over, but the match didn’t go the way I would’ve booked it. Almas did put on a great deal of offense, so it wasn’t like this match sucked, but it definitely seemed to be telegraphed to get Aj Styles a strong win again. Styles did great here, and Almas gave him a good match too, but it should’ve gone the way of Almas.

After the match, Samoa Joe attacked and beat up Styles and that was that, well, not really, the two would brawl.

Asuka defeated One of the Iconics

I should learn their name. But when you give me a minute or 2 minute match, you don’t give me much time to learn or care about any team. Asuka wins, in a joke of a match.

Becky Lynch Coronation

This ended in a brawl between Flair and Lynch. It was ok. It’s lame that the only story lines that the WWE can come up with is friends turning on one another out of jealousy etc.

Smackdown left A LOT of talent off the show, and well, that makes it the B show yet again. No R Truth, no Sanity, no Tye Dillinger, and no lots of people on the roster.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 16, 2018 Results and Review The Curb Stomp Returns

The Curb Stomp Returns - SOURCE WWE dot com 

And another week, another Raw is in the books. But guess what? I saw the HULU edition instead. I ended up watching the HULU edition and that was enough for me. Here we go, the night that was, and well, it wasn’t all that bad at times, at times, mind you.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 16, 2018 Results and Review

The first thing that occurred was Kurt Angle firing Braun Strowman. Strowman would go on a tear and would even toss over a truck. That’s right a truck. Sigh. He lifted a truck and tossed it over. This was smart, making him look strong, but remember the last time that Strowman faced off against Lesnar? Well, Lesnar beat him with 1 F5, and will most likely do it again.

Titus Worldwide defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

This was a squash match. I love seeing Dana Brooke though, she’s hot. This was a throwaway match that was slow moving and somewhat boring. Cesaro and Sheamus just jobbed here, and that was that.

Kurt Angle came out and rehired Braun Strowman

Yep.

Asuka defeated Nia Jax via match stoppage

This was a hard hitting match, with Jax getting a lot of the offense. However, what ended up happening was simple, Asuka ended up slapping on a knee bar and causing Jax to get injured. Jax was NOT really injured, and it was funny to see her fall over pretending that she was hurt. She fell over, and then Asuka was awarded the win via match stoppage.

The Revival beat Jobbers

This was NOT on HULU

Roman Reigns defeated The Miztourage

Again, Roman Reigns beat the Miztourage, and that was that. Nothing too grand here. It was dumb if you ask me, showing that Reigns is capable of burying all talent, including the Miz’s guys.

Sonya Deville defeated Sasha Banks

This was NOT on HULU

Matt Hardy defeated Heath Slater

This was not shown on HULU

Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor

This was a good match, with a lot of back and forth. Seth Rollins would eventually get the upper hand, and the big win with the curb stomp. No, you’re not reading that wrong. Finn Balor hit a lot of his moves, but it was Jason Jordan on the outside that would give Rollins the win here. The Club Sandwhich guys didn’t really do much, and it was lame. Rollins gets the win, and Balor is left crying. There was a little controversy because the ref seemed to hit a 3 count, but said it was 2, and there was no instant replay rule like on Smackdown. Lame.

Overall, Raw wasn’t that good, with the exception of that last match. Rollins and Balor put on a good match, and I loved to see the curb stomp return!

WWE Monday Night Raw January 8, 2018 Results and Review Dumpster Fires Keep Burning

The Best Part of Raw - SOURCE wwe dot com 

Well, well, another Raw was in the books, and honestly, I didn’t really want to talk about it. However, it is Thursday and I decided that it was time to look into Raw as I watched it on HULU, and well, I’m surprised that I didn’t just give up on the writing of this review. Here’s the reviews overall.

The Balor Club confronted The New Shield

This was dumb. I’m tired of the shows starting with all talking. This was just boring to see, and while it ended fine, it was just stupid. The Balor Club is nothing more than a bunch of jobbers.

Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

By having the good guys going over on both shows, why are these new factions a threat? They have won nothing big, they aren’t proving to be much of a threat, and well, it’s the absolutely worst thing. This is something that is NOT like the NOW invasion, and it’s sad. This match was fine, but it was hilarious to see the bad guys lose yet again.

Matt Hardy defeated Curt Hawkins

Hawkins loses again. Nothing to write home about here.

Cedric Alexander defeated Enzo Amore via Countout

This was a lousy match, and wow, just terrible. Alexander did do a great deal of moves, and legitimately cut Enzo open over his eye. Amore then seemed to get an ankle injury and got himself counted out. This wasn’t a terrible match, but it was far from good, that’s for sure.

Titus Worldwide defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

This was not shown on HULU

Braun Strowman Attacked Lesnar and Kane

This was after Heyman came out and cut his old promo. I’ve heard it so much, I am tired of hearing it. Braun Strowman came out after Kane and Lesnar fought to the back, and threw a grappling hook onto a set and dropped it on top of Lesnar and Kane. It was hella fake, but hey, it’s WWE, right?

Samoa Joe defeated Rhyno

This was a burial, and well, Joe may have hurt his foot.

Nia Jax attacked Asuka

It is what it is, not a match.

The Balor Club defeated The New Shield

I didn’t really pay attention to this match, but it went ok. The Balor Club won, and that was that.

I get it, this is a weak review. It was a weak Raw, what can I say? There wasn’t much in terms of wrestling, with few matches, and a lot of talking. The roster is huge, and yet we see the same things over and over again. The story lines are lazy, the show is dragging, and it feels like this is 9 hours long. Oh well.

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 November 27, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire

Asuka - Source WWE dot com 

Within a few minutes of the show starting I already regretted watching Raw. The announce team is nonsensical, and it’s just so bad, that I can’t wait to watch something else for another website that I write. I almost switched it to Spanish, because it’s so bad. I haven’t heard an announce team this bad since I watched last week’s Smackdown. I hate Phillips. Anyways, tonight was a terrible showcase of Raw, and you know it’s bad when you are watching the HULU version and say this. So let’s discuss what went down and how bad it could’ve been, because it was awful.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 27, 2017 Results and Review

Elias and The Miztourage showed up to crash the Roman Reigns introduction. Roman talks too much, and he wears the belt like he’s disrespecting it, which I hate. It’s stupid. Elias and Miz’s crew came out and said that he would take on Reigns for the IC title later in the show, and that was that.

Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro

I hate singles matches that carry out a feud for the tag division. I would rather see tag teams facing off to rise through the ranks to get a title shot. Not just this stupid cycle of single victories. Seth Rollins and Cesaro put on a good show, and they are great at what they do, but the bigger picture is about the tag team gold, and I didn’t really care about this at all, and I don’t know anyone that cared about it either. It’s stupid if you ask me. Good match though, so in that sense, this was the best part about Raw tonight.

Samoa Joe defeated Titus O’Neil

This was not shown on HULU.

Paige, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville confronted and beat down Sasha Banks

Not the boss any more are you Sasha? Wait, does she read my blog? Hey girl, hey?! The trio of new comers showed up and just beat down Banks and that’s that. Backstage her teammates were all taken out so it was Banks alone to get a beat down. Quick question, where was Nia Jax? Just asking.

Bray Wyatt defeated Matt Hardy

This was not shown on HULU.

Rich Swann defeated Akira Tozawa, Noam Dar, and Ariya Daivari

This was not shown on HULU.

Roman Reigns defeated Elias in the Intercontinental Title Match

Holy crap, Elias! Elias is like a jacked Macho Man, and he has all of the makings of a big star if you ask me. I don’t know how far they will push him, but he came out here and put the boots to Roman Reigns. Reigns was viciously attacked by Elias, and wow, what amazing showcase of talent. Even with the Miztourage helping, Roman Reigns would win, but this was not an easy fight for him at all. Elias shined here, and his top rope elbow drop would make even Macho Man proud.

Post match, Samoa Joe choked out Reigns on the ramp, and he may be next in line for an Intercontinental Title Shot, only to lose.

Asuka defeated Dana Brooke

This is just what it sounds like, a beat down. Dana Brooke didn’t last more than 5 seconds here, and that was that. She got buried.

Kane defeated Jason Jordan via Count Out

This was a terrible match. Jordan played that his knee was injured and got counted out. That prompted Finn Balor aka Alex Wright 2.0 to come out and fight Kane, only to lead to a disqualification when Braun Strowman interfered. What a pathetic showcase.

So that was that. This night of Raw felt like it was 4 hours long if you ask me. I can’t believe how awful this night of wrestling was, and you know what, it’s a dumpster fire that is going to continue until the Royal Rumble if you ask me. Oh well. Maybe Smackdown will be better?

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 Summerslam 2017 Results and Review The Marathon Show Continues

Brown Shoeman Drops Lesnar - SRC wwe.com

If you had plans for Sunday night, I hope you erased them when you heard that the WWE Summerslam PPV was going to be 9 hours long. Ok, it wasn’t that long, but it certainly was long enough to garner a lot of tired faces by the time the main event came through. I have heard a lot of people talk about this show, and I’ve seen a lot of videos about what the thoughts were from a variety of people. But these are my thoughts on the night, as you know I was going to say something, because I sat through a lot of wrestling after writing an essay for school.

WWE Summerslam 2017 Results and Review

The Miz and The Miztourage defeated The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan

The arena was empty for this match. It was bad. These guys fought to a decent match, but I don’t know why they chose to do the same match again from Raw. This wasn’t half bad, but of course, The Miz and his crew got the big win on the ppv. This was fast paced, and not necessarily bad, but I’m not sure why Miz wasn’t defending his title here. I guess maybe it won’t happen until the next PPV. Jason Jordan and his team loses, in front of 12 people, and I’m not kidding.

Neville defeated Akira Tozawa for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

This was fascinating, as it was another match between these two guys. Tozawa beat Neville on Raw, and it was a good match. However, this was another match where the two put on some good back and forth. However, the leaping senton bomb was thwarted by Neville, and the Red Arrow came through and Tozawa was done. I do not know what Titus O’Neil doesn’t help out, or cause a distraction. This was an ok match, but again, only like 20 people in the audience made this ok, at best.

The Usos defeated The New Day for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship

I do not think there is a better duo than The Usos. They are on the same exact page, and they keep pushing through a lot of moves, and reversals, with expert timing. These two guys are just incredible. The New Day is boring to me, but they keep trying to put on good matches. They did just that, and they were able to gain the upper hand for a good portion of the match, but it was the Usos and their fast-paced wrestling that ended up getting the big win. I loved the ending, dual super kicks, and their finish, which was stellar. The Usos are in their prime.

John Cena defeated Baron Corbin

This was a burial. Do not even argue with me. This was a burial that was akin to many other burials that you’ve seen in the past. John Cena defeated Baron Corbin clean. I kid you not. Clean. Cena wins in the opening match, and goes home to sleep because tomorrow he’s probably doing something grand. Well, tomorrow is Tuesday, but maybe he’s on Raw tonight? Oh boy!

Natalya defeated Naomi for the Smackdown Women’s Championship

This was a sloppy match, and I had a stomach issue. I went to the bathroom at one point, and came back, and it was still going. Natalya can be good, and Naomi has gotten better, but there was something missing between these two. It was fun, no doubt, and the winner was Natalya. She made Naomi tap out to the sharpshooter, which I thought was great, so good for her.

Big Cass defeated Big Show w/ Enzo Amore in a Shark Cage

The best part of this match was Enzo Amore stripping, lubing himself up and escaping the cage. That was thwarted by Cass, with a huge kick. Show got pinned after the empire elbow, and that was that. Not a great match, but Enzo was funny to me.

Randy Orton defeated Rusev

And another burial. Rusev has been downhill for a while, and here we go, Orton shows up and with a RKO out of nowhere, and the end. Less than 5 minutes. Rusev loses, and that’s that.

Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women’s Championship

This wasn’t half bad. This was interesting, with Alexa impressing me a lot. Sasha put on a show as usual, but I didn’t like the end. I thought for sure Alexa Bliss should’ve pinned banks with her finisher, or at least threw a tantrum and walked out, for a DQ finish. But no, this time we get Sasha Banks winning after a lot of back and forth. However, Banks looked to have messed up her shoulder, legit, so we’ll see how that goes on. Banks got beat up in this match, Bliss was great, but she pulled a rabbit out of the hat and won the title yet again. Good for her.

The Demon Finn Balor defeated Bray Wyatt

I’m not a fan of boring ass Finn Balor. He beat the Eater of Pins, and that was that. It was about 8 minutes long, and Wyatt loses fast, after a ton of offense from Balor. This match was just Balor throwing himself around at Wyatt, that’s about it.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro and Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Championship

This wasn’t half bad. This was kind of cool, a good amount of action, and both teams throwing down a lot of punishment against each other. I loved the dynamic, and at the end, it was Ambrose and Rollins won a huge solution overall. This was a classic tag team battle, with two members of the Shield. I wanted to Roman Reigns to join them, but nope. I didn’t dislike Dean in this one, which was grand. Ambrose and Rollins make a great team, and this match was a great one, including the beach ball getting torn apart by Cesaro. The commentary team sucks, though.

AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens with Special Guest Referee Shane McMahon

Not a bad match. The best of their series, but it wasn’t that great. Owens will most likely fight McMahon, I guess. Styles is great, I love his work, but he needs a new opponent, I’m tired of him fighting Owens. Although, I wouldn’t mind seeing Shane McMahon versus Kevin Owens with Aj Styles as a guest referee! This was ok, I have no complaints, but we need something new.

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

Well, the burial of Nakamura is complete. Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke, and wow, that was the end. Nakamura did ok with Mahal, and the Singh brothers helped him get the win. Jinder isn’t half bad, but he’s juicing. I liked the dynamic, but watching Nakamura lose, with a botched finish? I guess that’s the best that can happen with Jinder. Jinder’s mainstream push hit a high note this morning as the New York Times talked about Jinder, and well, that’s good. Good for him.

WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar defeated Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and Braun Strowmana

This fatal 4 way title match was about as good as you’re going to get from WWE’s mainstream offering. I was surprised by how good the match was, because Brock was getting taken out early by Braun. Braun really got to Lesnar, and he even through him through two tables, before the paramedics came out. They wheeled out Brock, and he left for a while. But he came back, and then it was time to go to Suplex City! This was a good match, with lots of action. All guys hit their moves, submissions, and so much more. I was impressed with even Roman Reigns! Holy crap the dude threw down. This was fun, and a great showing. Oh, and of course, I had to mention Braun throwing the damn padded chair made another appearance. Lame.

Summerslam was good, no doubt. But was it great? Not as good as NXT if you ask me. The wrestling was good, but this was really long, and that’s my only big critique for this show. After sitting through so many hours, I don’t know if I even want to review Raw, but probably will. This was a lot of wrestling, and a lot of burials, and random notes. Oh, and Elias is great, more Elias and the Drifter!

WWE Monday Night Raw August 14, 2017 Results and Review Lesnar Still Sucks

Bork Lazer Vs. The World - SRC WWE.COM

Wow, color me late again. This is a review that should’ve been up on Tuesday or Wednesday, but instead, it’s getting written right now. I’m late, and that’s because I had to once again sit through 5 hours of television to get through this. Or 4 hours, I don’t recall. Either way, here’s my review of the HULU version of Monday Night Raw, because you asked, or didn’t, I don’t know what is going on sometimes.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 14, 2017 Results and Review

Was there a talking segment to open things up? Maybe? I think it may have been Seth Rollins, and if it was, I was bored. Cesaor and Sheamus luckily came down to beat him up, but oh no, here comes Dean “Boring” Ambrose to stop it. I was not thrilled, as I think he’s been resting on his laurels for some time, and his in ring performances have bored me as of late. Rollins and Dean tease the fist bump, and then connect, because you know, the Shield reunion is going to be inevtible, and Roman Reigns will need them to win the title, if you ask me.

This set up a tag team title’s match for SummerSlam this year.

Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax

They say that there was a women’s revolution in WWE, but you know what? Revolution means a full circle, and that’s what we are getting. This match was not that long, and it wasn’t believable to me. The match between Jax and Banks from Fastlane was far better if you ask me. However, this was good for what it was, and Jax loses again, while Banks goes on to face Alexa Bliss. It should be a no-dq match, but something tells me Little Miss Bliss is going to retain.

Elias attacked R-Truth

This was not on HULU.

Big Cass and the Club Sandwich Boys break Big Shows Arm.

You read that right. There’s not much I can say about that. Big Cass did cut one good promo, though. Although, it was hard to pay attention to him, as he was “orange”. I kid you not. That spray tan was too much.

Bray Wyatt defeated Finn Balor

This was a dumb match. Balor barely got in any offense, and Bray Wyatt just easily beat him with a crotch shot and Sister Abigail. I still think that Wyatt should get a real Sister Abigail to show up, and he should also team up with Bo Dallas. Wishful thinking on my part, which will likely never happen, I’m sure. Bray Wyatt wins, then pores blood on Balor. But wait! The commentary team did not say anything about this. The HULU version edited out the commentary teams statements, so you didn’t hear them say acid, or whatever it is that people on twitter said. Who cares, this is a boring feud. I hear the Demon is coming at Summerslam, ok. Sure. Finn Balor is nothing more than Alex Wright 2.0 if you ask me.

Akira Tozawa defeated Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Tozawa is a great character, and he can really put on a show. This match, wasn’t that great. However, the big senton bomb from Tozawa saved it. He has some serious height on that, and it reminds me of how good Dick Togo was. This was a good performance from both, but the title change seems odd to me, especially since I’m not following 205 Live as much as I had in the past. I need to get back to it.

Jason Jordan defeated The Miz via DQ

This was fast, and it didn’t get far. Jordan got jumped by Miz’s cronies and that was that. Jordan then cleaned house, but the Miztourage is going to definitely cause disruption for the young guy. Oh, and the fans could care less, which means they care just a little.

Jason Jordan and The Hardy Boyz defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

Oh, I almost forgot this happened! The Hardy Boyz ran down to save Jordan from a beat down, and that prompted Teddy Long to come down and declare a tag team match! Ok, he didn’t come down, but that’s what happened, a six man tag happened, and that was that.

Bork Lazer fought off a few dudes.

The ending of Raw had Lesnar getting pulled away from beating up the rest of his opponents from Summerslam. I will say this much, the main event is going to be predicable since Lesnar will win and will be at Raw as the champion. That’s been leaked already, so there.

Overall, Raw wasn’t terrible. It was actually watchable for the most part. However, I could not get into the main event, and the lack of lengthy matches makes me miss the old Raw shows where wrestling took more of a front seat, then just randomly throwing together storylines before a PPV. I guess that’s what 2017 WWE is now, a crash course in pro-wrestling.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 7, 2017 Results and Review The Padded Chair of Doom

Padded Chair of Doom - SRC WWE.COM

This week I sat through 5 hours of wrestling. Ok, not 5 hours, only the 90 minute version of Raw on Hulu and then Smackdown live on Hulu. I watched them back to back, so that has to be something good, right? Whatever the case is, Raw was not exactly fun to watch, but Smackdown had a few notes. This time around on Raw, there were some good spots, and classic matches, but the HULU version condensed a lot of the things that you would normally expect. With that in mind, consider the following review of RAW from the Air Canada Centre, in Toronto, Canada.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 7, 2017 Results and Review

Brock Lesnar laid the Miz and his crew to waste.

The opening segment had Lesnar beating down the Miz and his crew with ease. This was fun, but what’s the big deal? Lesnar obliterates the Intercontinental Champion? Not only that, did you see the Miz’s wild swing against Lesnar? It was funny.

Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins

Sheamus rolled up Rollins, and then beat him down, forcing Dean Ambrose to show up. I think. I think that’s the story that was told, or maybe not. I’m having a hard time remembering this, because it was absolutely boring.

Sasha Banks defeated Emma and Alicia Fox

The women’s revolution eh? Well, if a fast moving match with minimal offense and probably 5 minutes of time is a revolution, then sure, we have a revolution. This was telegraphed a mile away. Sasha Banks wins, and the rest were boring. Emma is still getting buried.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated Enzo Amore and Big Show

Well, this match sucked. Enzo is not liked backstage, according to a lot of sources, but you wouldn’t know since this match had the crowd going nuts for him. Show and Enzo lose, but then Show gets the last laugh with a right hand. They are going to have Cass versus Big Show with Enzo in a cage above the ring, which is just bad. Either way, this match sucked, and the Club Sandwich boys aren’t doing well.

Bray Wyatt Attacked Finn Balor

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Dean Ambrose defeated Cesaro

Another roll up, but this time Seth Rollins ran down. Rollins ran down and saved Ambrose, but they didn’t shake hands or fist bump. This match was boring, and Cesaro was rolled up. Man, so many roll ups, I’m tired.

Akira Tozawa defeated Ariya Daivari

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Nia Jax defeated Mickie James and Dana Brooke

Wow, Dana Brooke is hot to me. I’m sorry. Mickie James too. These are two amazing women, and they are very strong and athletic. Then there’s Nia Jax, wow, some improvement, but not exactly an in ring scholar just yet. I liked this match, and loved the ending, with Nia Jax going strong and moving forward to facing off against Sasha Banks.

Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match

This was great. This was a great match with Roman and Braun putting on a show. There were a lot of great moments, but the scene of the night was Reigns getting hit in the face with an office chair. Strowman threw a chair at him and Roman went down, people went nuts, and I couldn’t help but think that the chair was super padded. Roman went down like a sack of potatoes, and it was funny to see. Samoa Joe came out of the audience, NO MUSIC mind you, and choked out Reigns.

Bayley gets Booed!

Bayley’s character has been assassinated. Ever since she wussed out at Extreme Rules in her home town, and Alexa Bliss caned the living crap out of her, she’s been going downhill. The crowd was booing, and Bayley really was awful on the mic. She even said, “why are they booing”, breaking character, and making me hate WWE for putting her out there. This was absolutely bad.

Overall, Monday Night Raw had a lot of bad things to it. But there were a few good moments with wrestling, including Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns. I don’t think Reigns sucks. This was an ok show, and worth HULU, but not 3 hours of your time.

Oh, and one more thing. What’s up with the illogical saves? Ambrose and Rollins save each other, but before they do so, their music plays. That’s asinine! Don’t do that! Instead, they should just run down and save their friend, no music, no pomp and circumstance. But no, logic is thrown out the window. Where was Elias, by the way? Oh well. Raw was ok at best.

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 Payback 2017 Results and Review House of Horrors and Standard Booking

Brown Shoeman Kills Roman Reigns - SRC WWE.COM

WWE Payback was this weekend, and the highlight of the show for me was simple, drinking Indianapolis’s finest from Sun King Brewing. I had a Wee Mac and Pachanga, and didn’t go with the cream ale, although I still have one in the fridge. I also bought a digiorno, and found out that they have changed their formula, because it now sucks. Oh well.

WWE Payback 2017 Results

Enzo Amore and Big Cass def. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (Kickoff Match)
Chris Jericho def. United States Champion Kevin Owens
Austin Aries def. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville by Disqualification
Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz def. Sheamus and Cesaro
Alexa Bliss def. Bayley to become the new Raw Women's Champion
Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe
Bray Wyatt def. Randy Orton in a House of Horrors Match
Braun Strowman def. Roman Reigns

WWE Payback 2017 Review

I’m tired. I admit that. I am also late on this review. I have been dealing with a variety of issues, and am fighting to try and make this site a bit more robust, but sometimes I get burned out on not making any money and watching wrestling. Here are my thoughts on the show from San Jose, California.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass def. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (Kickoff Match)

The kick off match was fun, and got the crowd really into things moving forward. Enzo put on a great deal of offense against the Club Sandwich boys. Big Cass got the hot tag, laid waste, but Enzo really showed off that he has some great moves, and was able to harness enough power to win this match. This was a great opener in my view, and I was hoping that this feud was over, but guess what? It’s not.

Chris Jericho def. United States Champion Kevin Owens

Not one smart fan, podcast, or video channel picked Chris Jericho to defeat Kevin Owens. Owens and Jericho have some good chemistry. Jericho won with the Walls of Jericho after Owens’s hand was injured earlier in the match. This was a fine outing, but a bit boring considering it’s the U.S. Title.

Austin Aries def. WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville by Disqualification

Neville pulled the ref into Austin Aries, while in a submission move. This is the same idea that we saw with NXT Takeover, as Asuka did the same thing. Only this time, Neville was disqualified for doing it, and would cost Aries the title. This feud continues. I’m bored with Aries at this point, I don’t get it honestly.

Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz def. Sheamus and Cesaro

The Hardy Boyz won a hard hitting match. Sheamus and Cesaro put the boots to the Hardy’s but wow, stiff as hell. You can find slow motion hits on Youtube about this match, including Sheamus kicking Jeff unprotected in the face, knocking out his tooth. Matt Hardy was busted open the hard way, and it looked bad. Sheamus and Cesaro lose, and then turn heel after the fact. Oh well.

Alexa Bliss def. Bayley to become the new Raw Women's Champion

This was a solid match. Bayley was able to put on a showcase of her talent, but Bliss had her number nearly every time. Bayley was sent flying into a post head first, and Bliss capitalized. The psychology of this match was great, and enjoyed this greatly. Bliss is great, no doubt.

Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe

A slow moving, illogical match. Rollins would sell that his knee hurt one minute, then he’s jumping off the top rope the next minute. I don’t understand the logic. I have a legit knee injury, and when I’m in pain, I’m dragging my leg to not put weight on it. Rollins seems to forget and remember that his leg is messed up, and it’s not acceptable. OH well.

Bray Wyatt def. Randy Orton in a House of Horrors Match

What the hell was this? Seriously, what the hell? Wyatt and Orton fought in an old house. Orton had a beard growing, walked into a house without a shirt on, and Wyatt attacked him. This was like a Hollywood movie rather than a wrestling match. Orton was left for dead after a refrigerator was thrown on him. A limo took Wyatt to the arena, and Orton showed up at the arena, and it looked like Wyatt was going to lose again. Jinder showed up with the Bollywood Boys and cost Orton the match, which got a lot of cheers, to be honest. Wyatt wins, thanks to Jinder Mahal.

Braun Strowman def. Roman Reigns

I honestly forgot that this match was going to be on. Brown Shoeman showed up and beat up Roman Reigns, simple as that. Reigns put on a show as usual, but he was heavily taped up, and it was obvious that he was going to get pummeled into oblivion. Strowman took out all of his weapons and eventually beat down Strowman enough to win the big match. Shoeman wins clean, and that was that.

Overall Payback 2017 was not that good. I spent a lot of time trying to stay awake, and while there were a few moments that I recall being good, the majority of it wasn’t that fun to watch. It was illogical, boring, and just tired. Oh well.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 17, 2017 Results and Review Same Old SHIZNIT

Monday Night Raw 

If you were looking for Monday Night Raw to follow up on their previous booking, don’t look for it here. This night in Ohio had a lot of flaws, with a few cool matches to book. Overall, this is not a great Raw, but you know what? Perhaps you thought differently. Let’s discuss it, or rather let me write about it to an audience of no one.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 17, 2017 Results

Samoa Joe defeated Chris Jericho
The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Enzo and Big Cass
Dean Ambrose beat Up The Miz
Tj Perkins defeated Jack Gallagher
Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Mickie James for the No. 1 Contender Spot
Finn Balor defeated Curt Hawkins
Jeff Hardy defeated Cesaro
Big Show vs. Braun Showman ended in a no contest

WWE Monday Night Raw April 17, 2017 Review

First and foremost, the show opened with Brown Shoeman getting an uproarious ovation for taking out Roman Reigns. He was getting so much cheers, he almost broke character several times. It was insane how much praise he was getting in the opening segment. That prompted Kurt Angle to give him a match against Roman Reigns for Payback in a couple of weeks.

Samoa Joe defeated Chris Jericho

Another burial. Ok, maybe it wasn’t as bad as some other matches, but Samoa Joe easily defeated Chris Jericho after figuring out a few of the key elements of Jericho’s game. Jericho is way over, and that was fun. His interaction with the Drifter backstage was great too. Joe wins, and I’m not sure what’s to go down next.

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Enzo and Cass

Brian Zane of wrestling with wregret fame tried to argue with me about Cass. I’m going to reiterate yet again, HE IS NOT world title material, and he is not going to become the next Stone Cold. He is NOT the same caliber of talent. I like the guy enough, but if him and Enzo keep getting mauled in the tag division, like they did against the Club Sandwhich boys, it’s going to be dreadful. This match was lame. I hope to never see it again.

Dean Ambrose on Miz TV

The Miz didn’t say anything that we already didn’t know. Dean Ambrose sucks. He plays dumb, and is collecting a giant paycheck, then going home to bang Renee Young. Lucky bastard. Ok, maybe he deserves it, but then again, I could go with Jennifer White for an hour for $1200 so maybe it’s not about luck, it’s about money. Dean Ambrose beats up the Miz, and that’s that.

Tj Perkins defeated Jack Gallagher

Gallagher went from contending for the Cruiserweight Title to losing to Perkins. Perkins is heel now, and that makes him better, all of a sudden? Ok. Not a great match, Gallagher’s same formulaic matches are starting to bore me.

Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Mickie James

Now this was a boring match for the most part, then things started to pick up towards the end. I didn’t peg Bliss to win this one, and when she came roaring into the match and beat up Sasha Banks, I marked out huge. Bliss seems like a really cool chick, and am glad that she got a hometown win. She will face Bayley, in Bayley’s home town, so that will be a good match, I hope.

Finn Balor buried Curt Hawkins

I’m a Curt Hawkins fan, I’m sorry, I like him. He calls out anyone in the back, and Finn Balor comes out. He has a serious look on his face and then drops Hawkins into oblivion with some insane dropkicks and of course, his finisher. Hawkins gets buried for the second week in a row, but man, what a way to go out. I loved it.

Jeff Hardy defeated Cesaro

Jeff Hardy is such a great talent. Cesaro and him put on a fine display, and perhaps the best match of the night. Hardy is impressive here, and Cesaro is always fun to watch. What can I say, this was a delight to watch.

The Big Show vs. Brown Shoeman ended in a no Contest

Here’s where I find serious issue. Why is Braun Strowman having such a hard time against The Big Show? He should be mauling him, but that’s not what we get. Strowman fights hard to get through this one, and the ending comes with the two crashing onto the mat and the ring breaking. The same spot we’ve seen many times before. Michael Cole also said that the Big Show used to have an elbow drop from the top as his finisher, which is wrong. He did have a dropkick off the top, but when he made it to WWE they told him not to do anything off the ground. Then they buried him, sending him to OVW to retrain. Strowman got up and the announcers sold it like he was the second coming of Hercules Hernandez. Whatever. I am not sold on Strowman because he’s going to get buried by Roman Reigns in a couple of weeks. Oh well.

Raw was not great, but it wasn’t terrible. I’m tired of the lazy booking, but hey, that’s just what happens. I had a fun time watching, so maybe it wasn’t half bad after all.

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Results and Review Throw Logic Out The Window Again

Undertaker Looked Awful On Raw, It's Time To Retire - SRC WWE.COM

I am late on posting this review because I was held up by someone wanting to pay me to link to their page. They pulled out like Xavier Woods did with that Paige leak, oh wait, he didn’t pull out. Point is, I am late, no thanks to an SEO company that wanted a backlink. Lame.

Moving forward, March 20 was a great time to be alive, because Raw was going to be in Brooklyn, and the Paige leaks were going to get a lot of attention from the crowd, right? Well, that didn’t exactly happen because WWE knows how to silence crowds in production, and that’s exactly what happened on this show. If you were looking for a logic based wrestling show, you’re going to absolutely want to avoid going back and watching this one, it was about as awful as it can be.

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Results

Samoa Joe defeated Sami Zayn
Charlotte Flair defeated Dana Brooke
The Brian Kendrick defeated Tj Perkins
Nia Jax defeated Bayley in a No DQ Match
Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and Enzo and Cass
Austin Aries defeated Tony Nese
Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns via disqualification

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Review

The show opened with a talking segment, and I for one am tired of this sort of start to the shows. I miss the days where you would get wrestling and just that. Nope, that’s not what you’re going to get with WWE any longer. You’re going to get drawn out talking segments, which are usually awful. With this opening, Stephanie McMahon fired Mick Foley.

This prompted Sami Zayn to come out and run his mouth, and McMahon to bury him by putting him in a match with Samoa Joe.

Samoa Joe defeated Sami Zayn

Samoa Joe put the boots to Zayn. Zayn did get a few shots in, but it was painfully obvious that Samoa Joe was going to beat Zayn yet again. He won this match by making him pass out. Zayn is a glorified jobber, and that’s really sad. They are wasting his talent. I hope he’s getting paid well, though.

Charlotte Flair defeated Dana Brooke

I was cheering for Dana Brooke. I love her, and I don’t know why. Charlotte didn’t immediately bury Brooke, but definitely had to fight to win this match. Brooke, in my view, should’ve had more offense and being Charlotte’s protégé, should have gotten very close to winning. Flair wins, and that’s the end of Dana, right?

The Brian Kendrick defeated Tj Perkins

This match would have been a barn burner just a few month’s back. Tonight, however, it was short and sweet, and that’s the end of that.

Nia Jax defeated Bayley in a No DQ Match

Bayley was backstage and was run down by Stephanie McMahon. She was put in this match against Nia Jax, and that’s when I remembered. The Women’s Champion is a 12 year old girl. What the hell? Don’t try to think too hard, you’ll break your neck. Nia Jax beat the crap out of Bayley and will be facing off against the rest of the women at Wrestlemania.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and Enzo and Cass

The Club Sandwich boys were buried in about a minute. They were buried, don’t argue with me. Karl Anderson, the guy that was main event caliber talent in Japan is jobbing fast on Raw. I hope he’s getting paid well.

Austin Aries defeated Tony Nese

I don’t see the big deal with Austin Aries. Tony Nese, however, I have seen time and time again impress the hell out of me. Austin will need to put on a tremendous match at Wrestlemania, otherwise, I don’t care for him, and his bravado. A fast match here, but nothing that stands out in my memory.

Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns via disqualification

Braun Strowman was set to get his win back, right? Nope. He was going to get buried again, and you can’t let Roman Reigns look weak. Strowman won this match via disqualification when Old Man Undertaker showed up. Undertaker looked awful. He was slow moving, fat, and he winced taking a simple bump. He then winced when he took the spear, and it just looked awful. Strowman is lost here, and I don’t understand how the WWE can continually bury talent after letting them taste a little crowd interaction.

Raw had more questions than answers folks. Like why would Bayley care if Nia Jax was in the match or not? Why did we see Sasha Banks and Charlotte watch matches sideways? Why is Braun Strowman not involved in Wrestlemania? Why are there only 4 women on Raw? Why hasn’t Chris Jericho defended his title in more than 30 days? Why are the Cruiserweights treated like second class citizens? Why is the wrestling on this show so short?

Oh well. You’ll watch it and you’ll like it. We all will. What a lackluster show folks. Smackdown wasn’t all that better if you ask me. But alas, people think it was.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 13, 2017 Results and Review Why Have Logic Involved

Makes No Sense, But Oh Well, Why Not?

This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw was shown the night before my birthday. Good for me, right? I didn’t watch it until this morning and I don’t really understand some of the decisions that were made. Some of the logic is just not there at all, and others, well it’s there I guess. It’s entertainment, right? Well let’s see what I remember form the night that was, and see if you agree or disagree, or ignore, since no one really reads this blog, right? Oh well.

WWE Monday Night Raw 2/13/2017 Review

Roman Reigns def. Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson via Disqualification

Roman Reigns buried the tag team champions, if you ask me. Others will disagree, but if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll know that Reigns is going to be the victor at Fastlane. He buries people, and according to Dave Meltzer, he’s not going to stop getting pushed, simple as that.

Kofi Kingston def. Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas gets buried again. Why can’t he become a part of the Wyatt Family? Why does Bo even have a job? I could do the same thing he does.

Jack Gallagher def. Noam Dar

Gallagher and Dar put on a mediocre job. It was a short match that was supposed to build to the Neville match coming on the ppv.

Emmalina announced the makeover of Emmalina to Emma

Emma is hot. I would rub one out to her.

Braun Strowman def. Mark Henry

Mark Henry was buried, and maybe it’s his turn to retire. Shoeman wins, did you think any different? Bored.

Sami Zayn def. Rusev

Rusev now getting buried by Zayn. Oh well, goodbye Rusev.

Akira Tozawa def. Ariya Daivari

Daivari gets buried here. Oh well.

The Festival of Friendship descended into chaos

“Why is my name on the list?” – Jericho. That was the line of the night, and Kevin Owens beat down his best friend in a very homo-erotic festival of friendship, so there you go folks.

Cesaro def. Enzo Amore

Enzo gets buried here. Wow, what a night to get buried.

Bayley def. Charlotte Flair to become the new Raw Women’s Champion

Now for the most illogical part of Raw. Bayley was set to lose this match, Charlotte got help from Dana Brooke, and it was supposed to be the end of Bayley. However, out came Sasha Banks and hits Charlotte with a crutch! She cheats, and Bayley wins, and celebrates. Charlotte loses the title, Bayley’s win is tainted, but who gives a crap, right?

Overall, Monday Night Raw was not a great show. It was ok. It dragged on for a long time, and the matches were not that great. I had to really focus my mind on the task at hand trying to watch this. I’m bored.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 23, 2017 Results and Review The Oldest Main Event

Old Part Timers Are The main Event, Not Wrestling!!!!

I’m not sure about how big of a fan you readers are, but it’s hard to be a fan of WWE right now. There’s so much stupidity on RAW, I can’t like much of it. I really hated what went down, and you know what, a lot of people probably hated it. With that in mind, consider the following notes on last night’s big night.

WWE Monday Night Raw 23, 2017 Review

Luke Gallows defeated Cesaro

Gallows beat up Cesaro, in a fast paced match. This was a fun way to open the show, but it didn’t really open the show. The show opened with Roman Reigns. This wasn’t too long, and it set up the big match this weekend for the tag titles, where Gallows and Anderson will most likely lose again.

Sami Zayn defeated Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn fought each other for a chance to be in the Rumble. Zayn would win after Triple H’s music hit. I guess that’s going to set up Rollins versus Triple H for Wrestlemania? Well, Rollins is not in the Rumble now, and that’s that? I don’t know what is going on. Maybe Triple H will jump into the Rumble and get thrown out by Rollins to set up a feud.

Tj Perkins, Jack Gallagher, and Mustafa Ali defeated Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese, and Drew Gulak

A short match. Not exactly fun.

Braun Strowman, Rusev, Jinder Mahal and Titus Oneil defeated The New Day, Enzo and Cass

This wasn’t that bad, but Enzo was great. Enzo’s offense against Shoeman was great. But this match was forgettable. The Big Show showed up and stared down Shoeman. They didn’t fight. They just stared at each other. This wasn’t that much fun.

Roman Reigns defeated Chris Jericho vis DQ

Roman Reigns beat up Jericho for a good amount of this match. In the end, however, Reigns lost via disqualification. Reigns is most likely going to win at the Rumble, face it folks. I can’t stand the main event scene on Raw. Jericho and Reigns fought again, surprise, surprise.

Bayley Is Done

Bayley's interview with Corey Graves proves a lot. Bayley is just awful. She has no confidence. Instead of answering the way that she did, she should've been confident! Oh well. Bayley is great in ring, but this "childlike" attitude is stale, and is going to get her buried in WWE. This was awful, just awful.

Nia Jax defeated Ray Lyn

A throwaway match.

Rich Swann defeated Noam Dar

Another throwaway match. Nothing to see here, except Dar saying Alicia Fox’s name. I loved that.

The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and Goldberg End

Now, Undertaker, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar stared each other down to end Raw. But let’s be real here, they are OLD. These are the oldest guys, and all part time. This is the way WWE is going to sell tickets? Three part time workers? Three guys that are past their prime. These guys suck. As Kevin Castle said on the Dony Town and Kevin Castle show, “Goldberg bitched out Lesnar, why would Lesnar be a scary guy now? He prison bitched him out!” Yeah. This segment sucked, and these idiots are old. They are all old, and boring. I’m done. I’m absolutely done with Raw.

What a load of garbage folks. Oh, and did you notice Undertaker’s walk and standing? That’s because he has a HIP problem! Yeah, he’s old.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 10, 2016 Results and Review Oldberg To Come Back

Everything Wrong With Raw Right Here

Oldberg is right. Bill Goldberg is not a young man. His best days are far behind him. Brock Lesnar is lazy, boring and not worth the money the WWE pays him. I don’t need to see him do 17 suplexes on Goldberg. If the WWE thinks that this is going to boost ratings, they are wrong. But let’s talk about Raw a bit more than this, and see why I am not so high on the product yet again.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 10, 2016 Review

This is from the HULU edition and it was not strong if you ask me. Here are my thoughts on what stood out.

Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks challenged Charlotte to a Hell in a Cell Match

The buildup was all wrong here. Sasha Banks should have asked Charlotte for the cage match because Dana Brooke kept interfering. She should have said that she was tired of the interference, and Charlotte squeaking by with title win after title win, and that the cage would keep Dana out and leave Charlotte in. Nope. They didn’t do that. Instead, Sasha said they could make history and what not, who cares. Sasha shouldn’t be champion just yet, that’s my two cents.

Bayley def. Cami Fields

Bayley is lost in the Raw mid card. She beat up a jobber, this was boring. Bayley is wasted here.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks & U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Charlotte & Rusev

Sasha Banks and Roman Reigns won this match, showing that the challengers are weak. Why would you lead into a new event with the champions going over huge, as if the bad guys just aren’t that good? Way to build up your talent. This was stupid. I didn’t like it, although the ending of the match was kind of interesting. Where was Dana Brooke? Where was Lana’s interference? Something, anything, nope, the good guys win clean, the bad guys look like chumps, why should I care?

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Ok, the WWE said that the show wasn’t going to be about the general managers, and yet we have a long segment with them in the middle of the ring. Then we have matches getting signed, and random cheap pops going on. So much so that I just gave up on the show at that point. I fell asleep, and apparently missed nothing. Rollins beat Jericho, boring, and something else happened.

Oh, and no one wants to see Goldberg aka OLDBERG. What a lousy show.

WWE Clash of Champions 2016 Results and Review The Women Steal The Show

The Women Put on A Clinic of Pro-Wrestling

Last night, Indianapolis was the host for Clash of Champions 2016. This event was in my home town and I decided against going. Tickets were as low as a few bucks, but I instead ate pizza and stayed home. I saw the whole thing, and well, here are my thoughts on what went down from Nap Town.

WWE Clash of Champions Results

Nia Jax def. Alicia Fox (Kickoff Match)
Chris Jericho def. Sami Zayn
WWE Cruiserweight Champion T.J. Perkins def. Brian Kendrick
Cesaro vs. Sheamus ended in a No Contest (Match No. 7 in Best of Seven Series)

WWE Clash of Champions Review

Nia Jax def. Alicia Fox (Kickoff Match)

Nia Jax was actually showing that she wasn’t a monster. Alicia Fox put on a showcase of moves, and really took it to Nia. I was surprised with how much offense she was given. Nia Jax would eventually stop everything and get a nice Samoan drop on Alicia Fox and the win. Nice opener.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Chris Jericho def. Sami Zayn

Jericho and Zayn put on a strong showing. However, Sami Zayn losing yet again, is dumb. Zayn can’t win, he’s in Ziggler status now. That’s all. Entertaining match, Jericho wins, stays strong, and that’s the end. I love how Jericho is burying talent. He just can’t lose can he? I love it, you stupid idiots.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

WWE Cruiserweight Champion T.J. Perkins def. Brian Kendrick

I heard several podcasts trash this. I didn’t get it. Why don’t people like the cruiserweights? Seriously!? I wish I had a large audience to discuss this. Unfortunately, I don’t. These two put on a good show, and I liked it. It seemed a little toned down, and from what I hear, they have already told the guys in this division to tone it down. Kendrick looked great in defeat, and Perkins is amazing. These guys should be opening the shows and becoming mid-card entertainment, like in the WCW days. They aren’t ready for the main event, if you ask me.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Cesaro vs. Sheamus ended in a No Contest (Match No. 7 in Best of Seven Series)

I didn’t want to see this. I didn’t care about it. There was a non-finish when they seemed to injure one another. I will say this much, Cesaro needs to stop doing suicide dives. In fact, ALL talent should stop doing them. It’s so watered down, like the DDT. It’s stupid.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day def. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson

The Club Sandwich boys are nothing more than losers. They lose every time. There’s nothing good about this. I didn’t like the match. The New Day won because they cheated when Xavier hit one of the Sandwich boys got hit in the head with a trombone. That’s it. This was stupid. The Club Sandwich is done. Go back to japan, right? Yep. I’m tired of the New Day, I need new Champions!

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Raw Women's Champion Charlotte def. Sasha Banks and Bayley

Match of the night folks. These ladies put on a showcase. I love Dana Brooke, lucky Ziggler is banging her. Charlotte and Sasha’s story continued, but Bayley injected herself into the match and put on a showcase. The story these women told, wow, if you missed it, go back and see it. Everything to me made sense, Charlotte’s moonsault is the number one in the WWE right now. Bayley lost after getting two big boots to the head, and Sasha got thrown off the apron. I loved this. Charlotte is one hell of a Champion, I hope Ric is proud, I’m sure he is.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Roman Reigns def. United States Champion Rusev

Roman Reigns won a boring match. I hated it, I don’t think he’s good, both these idiots suck. No thanks.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens def. Seth Rollins

This was not half bad. However, I’m tired of the main events showing so many kick outs. The story that the guys tell just seems dumb. I recall better stories, but I will say this much, this match was way better than any Dean Ambrose match I’ve seen this year. Yeah, I said it. Owens did well here, Rollins looked injured at one point, he was getting thrown around a great deal. Jericho would come out, the ref would get bumped, and Owens would retain the title. Good match. Nice sexual tension with Stephanie and Seth, though. Look for that angle to play, man, what a lucky dude Trips, I’m just saying.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Overall, Clash of Champions was a fun night of wrestling. I do not regret not going. I would rather not have to deal with nose bleed seats or anything like that. I liked this ppv. I would give the whole thing a 3 out of 5. Good, not great, with some solid wrestling, and some ok moments. That’s that.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 12, 2016 Results and Review: The Fat Ass Champion

Kevin Owens Is Fat

This past week’s Raw was live from Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, MD. It was not a great show, and even the HULU version that I’m reviewing was absolutely tough to watch. I had to really pay attention, even though I didn’t want to, and well, this is the result that you get.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 12, 2016 Review

Again, this is a review of the HULU edition since I don’t have cable. I tried getting it once, and watching 3 hours of Raw was horrendous to say the least.

Sasha Banks defeated Bayley and Dana Brooke in a triple threat match

Say what you will about Dana Brooke, but she put on a showcase in this match. She took some serious bumps from Sasha Banks, and Bayley. The match had her getting thrown around the ring, and also shoving the other two away. Lots of great bumps to the floor, and good overall pushes. I also love Brooke’s look, and would love to hang out with her, but alas, it will never happen. She’s underrated, if you ask me. Sasha Banks won a hard fought battle here, and it was a good showing to see, even if Bayley didn’t get the big win here. Banks will face off against Charlotte at Clash of Champions.

Match Rating 4 out of 5

Cesaro defeated Sheamus

I hate the notion of a best of 7, especially with two performers that bore me to tears. This is a boring match, but oh well. Cesaro won, and that’s that.

Match Rating 1 out of 5

Kevin Owens defeated Roman Reigns

This was the highlight of the HULU edition for sure. Kevin Owens, the fat champion, won against Roman Reigns. This was a fun back and forth match, but it had Seth Rollins interfere, Mick Foley get mad at him, and that’s about it. Good back and forth, nice elements, Owens can make anyone look great in the ring.

Match Rating 3 out of 5

Monday Night Raw wasn’t grand, but it wasn’t terrible either. Good showing by the women, too bad they are opening the show instead of closing it. Oh well.
