WWE Monday Night Raw October 30, 2017 Results and Review The B Word

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/30/2017 - SRC WWE dot com

For those two readers out there, I did manage to watch this week’s Raw. I watched last week too, but didn’t write as much about WWE after the pay per view because I didn’t feel like it. Well, not really, I just had a lot of work and wasn’t up to writing about things as I was working on other things overall. But hey, I’m back now, and let’s talk about the show in which we saw lots of stuff, and filler.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 30, 2017 Results and Review

The opening showed off Stephanie McMahon cutting down Kurt Angle. She made him team captain of the Survivor Series Raw Team, and that means we’ll see him wrestle. She has a way of really being negative on screen, and I like it. Triple H is a lucky man to get to have some action with Stephanie McMahon, wow, I’m just saying. I’m not a sub, but I’d be hers. Anyways, this was dumb.

Nia Jax defeated Bayley

Word on the street is that Nia Jax was mad and left WWE for a while to cool off. She talked to The Rock and pulled some strings apparently because here she is back in action and beating down Bayley. Bayley put up an interesting fight, but she was not going to win, and you knew it. I hear she’s making 200,000 a year, so you know what, why not?

Samoa Joe defeated Apollo Crews

Samoa Joe is back and he hates everyone, or so he says. He made quick work of Apollo Crews, then choked out Titus for being at ringside. This was a quick match, and Crews is back to being jobber status. That sucks, because he’s one of the most talented in-ring performers.

The Miz defeated Matt Hardy

This wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t the best Miz match. It was just kind of bland. I wonder if Strowman is going to take the title off of Miz? Or maybe they won’t even fight. I don’t know. This was an ok match and Hardy is still over, but without Jeff, or being Broken, I don’t really like him as much. It’s a decent match no doubt.

Asuka defeated Stacie Cullen

A burial. A burial so bad that Cullen will most likely be fired, right Emma? Good riddance.

Kane Attacked Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan was back stage and the lights went out, then Kane showed up and choke slammed him to hell? You didn’t see it, but it caused Bryan to get left out on a stretcher, so that was that.

Finn Balor defeated Cesaro

Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. I don’t know why this match was booked, or why the tag titles are taking a back seat to action this week, but whatever. Cesaro gave Balor a good fight, but Balor was able to come back and win with his finisher. I still like Alex Wright better.

Kane defeated Seth Rollins

This was hilarious. Seth Rollins loses to Kane. Kane is just burying guys now, and I don’t know why.

Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Club Sandwich Boys

This was a trick or treat street fight! It was funny, but man, what a waste of the teams. These guys did manage to put on an entertaining match though, and for that I give them credit. This was a fun moment on Raw, and I loved it. I liked the funny moments, and the good overall brawling. This just had a few spots of fighting, and lots of smashing pumpkins and more. I liked it enough to say that this was the best part of Raw for me.

Jason Jordan attacked Elias

Elias was going to sing a song but Jason Jordan showed up and smashed his guitar. Oh well.

Kalisto defeated Drew Gulak

A quick match in which Kalisto got the win over Gulak, and then Enzo came in and danced and beat up Kalisto. This was awful. Gulak is so much better than this.

Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James

I love Alexa. This was a good match for what it was, not as good as their TLC match, but it had some good back and forth. Mickie James is so good in the Ring, but Alexa seems to not have chemistry with her. Either way, this match didn’t leave me disappointed, and Bliss won again. Not half bad folks, this was a good main event for Raw.

Braun Strowman Showed Up

Braun Strowman showed up and beat up The Miz and The Miztourage. But shouldn’t he be mad at Kane? Just saying.

Overall, Raw went by fast. The matches were ok, the stories are still continuing for Survivors Series, and well, I don’t hate the show, but it’s far from the best effort from Raw. The street fight was my favorite though, I could watch that again. Great stuff from those teams, although it’s sad to see the talent wasted in such a match that has no real consequences etc.

WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Results and Review Remember The Rumble and Complain About It Online

Meh. Just Meh. 

January 29, 2017 was a big day for WWE. A lot of hype surrounding Royal Rumble was in place, and a lot of people were looking forward to seeing what would happen with the volatile nature that comes before the Road to Wrestlemania officially begins. Everyone made predictions about anything and everything, except for me. I just got a six pack of Old Chub, ordered 2 large pizzas, and watch the show like a true fan. But today I’ll be reviewing it, and talking about what I liked, what I didn’t like, and all of the in between stupidity that I can remember from the night. 52,020 people packed into the Alamodome for this one, and I almost went. I kind of regret it now, but I didn’t want to drop a thousand dollars to go there, without any friends, and then hire an escort to keep me company for an hour, before going back to loneliness. Whatever the case is, here are my thoughts on the Rumble, which I vaguely remember after the Old Chub. Or the Chubby One as I call it.

WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Review

I debated not watching the pre-show, but my wife wasn’t feeling well and fell asleep. So that left me with a choice. Should I drink a 6 pack of Old Chub without pizza or wait for pizza to arrive? I started the party and watched the entire pre-show, which I normally wouldn’t. I had to get up at 4 AM the next morning, but I still made it through this 6 hour epic. Here are my thoughts on what I remember.

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, and Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and Natalya

Here we go, the first match of the night and the crowd wasn’t even in their seats yet. I would’ve been 3 light beers and a hot dog into my night. This match wasn’t that great, although it was around 10 minutes. The Feminazis on Twitter probably complained that this was like a Divas match not a women’s revolution. Oh well.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated Cesaro and Sheamus for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Titles

I still call it the “BRO” Kick, and well, one of the referees got kicked hard and that was it. The club sandwich boys get their win. There you go. All you Japan marks can be happy now.

Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks

R.I.P. Sasha Banks. The Boss is now just an intern. Nia Jax blew right through Banks slapping, and throwing her 90 pound body at her. Banks lost, and got buried, simple as that.

Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley

Bayley put on a good showing here, even busting open Charlotte’s mouth, but that didn’t factor into the fact that Charlotte’s a beast on PPV. If you put the title on the line and it’s a PPV event, she delivers like her father. With that in mind, Bayley went down after a serious finisher on the apron. Great push. I liked it, and that was that. Bayley has a long way to go before she gets the title, and Charlotte needs more competition, simple as that. Don’t tell me it’s Asuka, she can’t speak English that well, yet.

Kevin Owens defeated Roman Reigns

23 minutes is all you need to tell a great story in my view. You do not need 50 minutes and Japanese fans to get a good match. Kenny Omega can go suck it. Here’s a killer match. Roman Reigns put on a show, but you know what bugs me? He is superman. He gets hit in the face with brass knuckles, kicks out, gets hit with a Stone Cold Stunner, kicks out, frog splash through a table, kicks out, and that’s it. Kevin Owens threw everything at him, and if it weren’t for outside interference from Brown Shoeman, Owens couldn’t beat Reigns. That’s the story that was shown here, and it’s sad. Owens cannot beat Reigns, simple as that.

Neville defeated Rich Swann for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Neville beat Rich Swann. I’m tired of being told that the cruiserweights are high flyers. This match exemplified the dichotomy. These guys are supposed to be fast moving, high flyers, but yet the matches for the WWE Cruiserweight belt are mostly mat based, and include tapping out each time. Does no one win the title with high flying? Nope. It’s boring.

John Cena defeated Aj Styles for the WWE Championship

Once again, Kenny Omega can go suck it, because under 25 minutes, a story of epic proportions was posted. John Cena won huge here, and I loved the match. A great back and forth match, with lots of near falls, and some great story telling. Superman Cena won after a rolling AA, which was great. I loved it.

Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble after eliminating Roman Reigns

The Royal Rumble match went over an hour. The people that drew number 1 and number 2 were Big Cass and Chris Jericho! Jericho sat out the match for the most part, which is dumb booking. Why have him stay so long? Zayn should’ve been the number 2 guy, since his conditioning is way better.

The most exciting moment in the whole thing for me was Jack Gallagher and his umbrella! That was great, and loved every minute. James Ellsworth was great too, and then things dropped out.

The Undertaker looks fat.

Goldberg and Lesnar again! Lesnar got thrown out fast, lame.

Roman Reigns threw out Undertaker, and Randy Orton dumped him out to win the Rumble.

Overall, I had a lot of fun. The match was fun, the whole night was good, but honestly, this was a forgettable Rumble for me. I won’t remember much, except for maybe Jack Gallagher’s 3 minutes of fame. I loved it. Give that guy more time in WWE, I’ll pay to see him. Other than that, meh, Orton vs Cena again? Ok. Sure.
