WWE Monday Night Raw October 8, 2018 Results and Review From Chicago To Somewhere

Elias WWE 

WE start the show with talking of course, and it features Triple H coming out and getting a great ovation. I love the new HHH shirt, by the way. Due looks really cool, as a COO, wow. I want to be a COO that looks that good at that age. Good on him. Shawn Michaels would show up too.

Triple H said an avalanche came down on him and Michaels, as they were on top of it. That’s not how avalanches work. If you’re on top of a mountain, the ground beneath you could shift, but unless you’re underneath the avalanche to start, then you will not get buried, as you’re on top of it. If you’re on top of a mountain, avalanches can’t bury you, you’re on top. This doesn’t make sense, I guess.

Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens

Does Kevin Owens ever get the upper hand any more? He now has jobbed to Lashley, and once again loses. He didn’t get completely buried, but with Lio Rush and Lashely together, the big man has beaten Kevin Owens again. So much for that “prize fighter” gimmick. This was lackluster, and the crowd was dead for a lot of it. Lately would “turn” as he ended up beating up Kevin Owens after the match, and that was that. I guess that’s cool, Lashley is a bad guy, and Owens is a good guy? Meh. Owens hasn’t been much of anything in the past few months, so maybe this will change? I don’t know. Boring match, with an ok ending, and a beat down of Owens.

Elias Sang

Elias did his thing, only to get interrupted by Ronda Rousey, and that was that. I don’t know what the purpose of that was, but Elias gets the book, and the women get a turn in a rematch from the early morning ppv.

Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins defeated The Riott Squad

This was a cool match, I guess. It wasn’t that great overall, it was just another match that we saw from Australia.

After the match, The Bella Twins tried to beat down Ronda Rousey, and they couldn’t take her on after too long, as Rousey got the better of the two for a moment, until they threw Rousey into the post and ring steps. The Bella Twins, lack wrestling skill, but look good, so they get the promotion. Must be nice.

Bayley and Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox

Well, this was a match. Entertaining, a bit, short, but it had enough gusto to make it worth watching. A good deal of back and forth, with the ending that you would expect, as Balor picked up the victory after his stomp from the top. Not bad at all. I didn’t hate it, but it had no major consequences.

The Conquistador won the global battle royal

This was a joke, and it was Kurt Angle under a mask. That’s all I can say about this joke of a match. Such a large roster and this is what they give us? Ok, sure.

Ember Moon defeated Nia Jax via cont out

Nia Jax controlled most of this match, but it turns into a terrible solution over time, as Jax got counted out and that was that. I guess that’s ok? I don’t know. I don’t care about this.

Trish Stratus and Lita Announcement

Trish Stratus came out and got a mediocre reception. Her and Lita will take on Alexa Bliss and Mickie James. Meh. Just Meh. Lita came out, and she’s hot as ever, I love her.

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

Well, this was a match, and without many consequences, it was just entertaining to see it go down. Gable would win with his rolling duplex, and that was that. Roode was set to win the match, and he looks like he lost some weight, he’s not on the roads any more.

After the match, the AOP ran down and squared off against Roode and Gable and that was that, I guess that was ok.

The Wolves defeated The Shield

Fast paced, back and forth, great overall push forward, with a focus on breaking down the elements here. Lots of back and forth, with a great push forward within the timing. Drew McIntyre would get the victory here, and that was that. Good stuff overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 24, 2018 Results and Review Brie Triggers For Everyone

The Shield Buries AOP - SOURCE WWE

And away we go! Another night of Raw, and this time it opens with a limo pulling in, and Baron Corbin. Is this 1999 Monday Night Nitro? Stephanie McMahon comes out and Corbin starts to sing to her. Then out comes Triple H, and Corbin stops. Triple H then leaves, and Stephanie runs down Corbin a bit.

The Shield come out and guess what? They start talking! Roman says something that is true, “These belts will change your life”, yeah, they’ll make you mean spirited celebrities that won’t take a picture with children at a store. These guys can go suck a lemon, they are entitled, pricks if you ask me. I hate opening raw with talking. So I’m going to put on some headphones.

Out came a trio of heels, and they talked and talked, I’m so sick of these talking starts.

Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal

Not really a fun match. It was exactly what you would think of this match. Mahal loses, and one of the Singh brothers got beat up after the match, as well as a beat down from Bayley as well. I guess that is the end of Mahal and the Singh brothers.

The Riott Squad defeated The Bellas and Natalya

This was a short match, and the news coming from it is that Brie botched a few spots and knocked out Liv Morgan at one point. Then she knocked the crap out of Ruby Riott. The match would eventually get a finish, but it was rushed after Morgan was knocked out, and she was visibly concussed on the side of the ring. The Bellas suck, let’s not sugar coat it, they are not worth their pay scale at all, and they are being force fed to an audience that deserves better. I have never been a fan, and am still not a fan, especially after seeing Brie completely knock out someone in the ring and then drag her around instead of having her friends help her out. Lame. This was a stupid match.

Conor’s Cure Promo

I have nothing to say about this.

Connor defeated Chad Gable

One of the Ascension beat Gable, meh. This was dumb.

Dolph Ziggler and Dre McIntyre defeated The Revival

This was a fine match, with The Revival getting in a lot of offense, but it was all but forgotten when Drew and Dolph would get a comeback and drop the two with some stellar high powered offense. This wasn’t a bad match, mind you, the Revival didn’t roll over and die, they simply caught a beat down and was definitely working towards a win, but of course, the WWE isn’t going to do that at all. They never do. So in the end, the bad guys win, The Revival goes back on the shelf, and we continue to another segment on Raw.

Lashley defeated Elias via DQ

Meh. This match was ok, the story was more about Lio Rush about to get a beat down, but Lashley came in to safe the day. This is no doubt leading a tag team match, I’m sure.

Nia Jax defeated Alicia Fox

Short match with NIa Jax stomping out Fox.

The Shield defeated The Authors of Pain and Baron Corbin

Well, there you go. Did you expect another result from the pricks in the Shield? These guys suck, and hate kids. Entitled pieces of crap, I can’t stand the booking of Raw, and once again, they win. These guys suck. I’m over it. You can’t build up anyone if all you do is win and win, or can you? I’m going to just keep booing as per usual. Of course the story is whether or not Dean Ambrose is going to turn on the Shield. I doubt it. But it’s a nice little story they are building. Whatever the case is, I’m tired and Raw was not great. They were missing a TON of people, so meh. Just meh.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 17, 2018 Results and Review More BS

Everyone Sucks - Source WWE

Live from Dallas Texas, we get to the A show, and it starts with Roman Reigns and the people of Raw booing. I would boo too. Heck, I’d boo the woo.

Of course, we start with talking. I’m so tired of this BS. The show opened and Braun Strowman with Roman Reigns were thrown into a Triple Threat Match for the Universal Title at the Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia, which doesn’t happen until November. This was stupid. Paul Heyman came out and talked, and honestly, this was too much talking for me.

Drew McIntyre defeated Dean Ambrose

Ambrose threw down a lot of his offense against Drew, but it wasn’t enough. The finishing kick really hit Ambrose square, and that was that. Dean pulled out a few good moves, including a nice Texas Cloverleaf, but Drew McIntyre, the chosen one, comes back and wins big after Ambrose misses a double axe handle smash. A good opening match, and well, Ambrose loses clean. A burial? Na, but I guess I can call it that, why not? Dean Ambrose is buried now.

Chad Gable defeated Random Dude From Ascension

I”m done. I’m so done. This is so stupid. Gable is great though, so I guess that’s cool. The Ascension will end up facing off against Bobby Roode and Chad Gable, I’m sure. Anyway, this was a boring match with Gable going over with ease.

Undertaker came out and talked.

I don’t want to see The Undertaker doing limericks in the ring. Boring.

Bayley defeated Dana Brooke

Well, I didn’t think Dana would win, even though I think she’s awesome. She’s underrated, but it was Bayley here that would get the win, and that was that. It was good, but not great. Bayley and Sasha Banks seem like afterthoughts these days, if you ask me.

The Authors of Pain defeated Jobbers

Meh.

Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler

Not a terrible match, but I’ve already seen these guys wrestle a million times, so meh, it was an ok television match, but it wasn’t their best work, as they’ve wrestled many times before.

Ronda Rousey Open Challenge

So Ronda was going to fight Natalya for an open challenge, but the Riott Squad came out and started to beat up Ronda, and the numbers game caught up with her. She held her own for a little while, but she got a beat down until she got saved by The Bella Twins. Ugh. I hate The Bellas. Things turned around and then the Riott Squad caught beat downs overall.

Lashley vs Elias Went To A No Contest

Lashley and Lio Rush are now friends and manager etc. The match other than this new union was ok, it was unexpected, and a little fun for sure.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Mickie James and Alicia Fox

Another quick match, and a fast ending. I guess that was that? Meh. Just meh. Nothing to see here.

Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

This match was back and forth, and after some time, Corbin threw a chair at Roman and the ref disqualified him. After this, Baron ordered the match restarted as a no disqualification match.

Roman Reigns defeated Baron Corbin

Of course. The shield came out, the War Dogs or whatever came out, and well, there was a brawl, there was superman punches, and the Big Dog would win again. Meh.

This night of Raw was nothing short of an elaborate prank, right? Nothing from the night before was really answered to satisfaction, but hey, that’s WWE for you. Ugh. So tired of this company.

Monday Night Raw September 3, 2018 Results and Review

The Beat Down of The Shield - Source WWE 

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

The Shield got arrested and thrown into a van.

The Bellas defeated The Riott Squad

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

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

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

Elias Came Out and of course it was stopped.

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

Alexa Bliss defeated Natalya

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

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

Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler defeated The B Team

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

AOP buries Jobbers

Meh. Drake Maverick is now their manager. Meh

Shawn Michaels Talked

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

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Ember Moon and Dana Brooke

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

Jinder Mahal Talked.

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

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor

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

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

WWE Monday Night Raw 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 Smackdown Live January 9, 2018 Results and Review

Kevin Owens Hits Randy Orton with a chair - Source WWE dot com

I know I’m late, so I’m going to go ahead and talk about this, and then talk about something bigger after. Here we go, the Smackdown show that was better than Raw.

WWE Smackdown January 9, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan were having tension yet again. Boring.

Becky Lynch defeated Ruby Riott

Once again, the invading team gets beaten, so why are they so tough? When the NWO invaded WCW, they didn’t just show up and start mounting losses. They were dominant. That’s how you build a feud, not by losing every week. Riott did ok here, but Lynch was able to get the win with her submission, and that’s the end.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Ascension

The Ascension got buried.

Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder

Another burial folks, Rawley had most of the offense here. Not a great match.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable demanded Justice, and got a 2 out of 3 falls match for Ruble instead

Ok. Sure.

Breezango defeated Rusev and Aiden English

This was a fast moving match, and English got pinned. This was not half bad. I didn’t like it, but hey it happens.

Aj Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Randy Orton defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

This match kept getting restarted. Once for count out, and once for disqualification, and each time Shane McMahon came out and stopped things, then restarted them. It’s hilariously bad, and well they lose.

At the end of the day, all of this is awful. Smackdown should have better matches, but they kept having random talking segments, and boredom. Oh well.

WWE Smackdown Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review No Time For The 10

Aj Styles Throwing Down - SRC WWE dot com

I’m tired of WWE, I’ll admit it. This is especially true because there are a lot of people on the roster that seem to not have any moments on the show. For instance, where’s Tye Dillinger? Where’s Breezango? Oh well. Here’s what went down on Smackdown this week.

WWE Smackdown Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan Talk

There was a time when Shane said that Smackdown wasn’t going to be about the McMahon family, and well here we go, another opening where he is the center point of Smackdown. Lame.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Usos

I was surprised by this match. I didn’t realize that The Usos would get a loss here, but Shelton and Gable found a rhythm and blocked a lot of the Usos offense. I loved how well they are working together, and found a way to win, even when the champions seemed to have things in the bag. Gable and Benjamin won with a great finisher, and that’s that. Oh, and this was a non-title match.

Charlotte Flair and Naomi defeated Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan

Well, that’s the end of that. The Riott Squad were supposed to be a dominant force and guess what? They lost here. So I guess they aren’t that much of a threat? Logic gets thrown out the window here, so that’s the end for me. They aren’t very good if they can’t win. Imagine if the NWO lost all of their matches.

Dolph Ziggler quits.

I sure hope this is true.

The New Day defeated Rusev and Aiden English

50/50 booking, right? The New Day wins this match, and they were all dressed up for this one. It was ok I guess, but honestly, I’m tired of this form of booking, and people just phoning it in.

Aj Styles, Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn

Well, here you go, a six man tag, as though Teddy Long was booking. I’m so tired of seeing these six people, and honestly, am tired of the same old stuff on Smackdown. I guess this was ok, wrestling wise it worked, but honestly, the good guys always win, and that’s really the big deal here. I mean, they win to further what story line? Jinder Mahal is buried here, the Kevin Owens and Zayn things continues, but I’m so over it.

Well there you go, the end of the line for Smackdown. There was some good wrestling in the tag division, and the women put on a good show too. But there was a lot of things missing, including the Bludgeon Brothers, Bobby Roode, and so many others. Oh well.

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Charlotte Flair is A Pure Queen - Source WWE dot com 

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

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder

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

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

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

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

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

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya in a Lumberjack Match

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

Bludgeon Brothers defeated Breezango

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

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton

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

Aj Styles defeated Jinder Mahal in the WWF Championship

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

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