WWE Monday Night Raw August 27, 2018 Results and Review More Big Dog

Ziggler vs Big Dog - Source WWE 

The start of the show was a shower of boos for the BIG DOG! Oh boy here we go.

Roman comes down, and immediately he shows off how smug he was. There was a fan that put out his fist to get a bump, and Reigns basically shook his head, like, “na, I’m good”, you know like a smug a-hole.

The show opened up with talking, and I hate that. Bryan and Roman will be inside Hell in a Cell for the Universal Title, and well, Roman will win with a spear as per usual. We then get a straight up tag team match for later tonight.

Baron Corbin came out and made matches, and then said he was going to take on Finn Balor. This was a rematch from Summerslam, but this is not the same as it was, because Finn is not the demon, he’s just the man, and you know he’s not as good.

Finn Balor defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

The match was interesting enough, it was slower than the previous one. The two went through a few back and forth motions, but it ended up getting Corbin disqualified by using a chair. However, after he introduced a chair, and lost, he went outside of the ring and announced that this was a match that was NO DQ.

Baron Corbin defeated Finn Balor

So, the match was restarted, and well, after a chair shot, Corbin wins again. That was that. Great. Nice job. Lol.

Sasha Banks defeated Dana Brooke

Yep. You knew this was going to happen, so meh. Dana is awesome though, I’d love to meet her one day. She has some insane maneuvers, but alas, she loses in a short match.

Seth Rollins came out and did an open challenge. Because the writers of Raw are that lazy.

Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens

Well, what do you know? Seth Rollins defeated Owens in one hell of a television match. Owens threw everything he could at Rollins, and even though he showcased just how good he was, he couldn’t put away Rollins. This included moonsault attempts, fighting back from buckle bombs, and so much more. I was impressed, and yet Owens loses again. Oh well. Rollins and Owens put on a show, and that’s all that matters sometimes.

Kevin Owens Quit.

Perhaps, if this is not a work, it’s a good thing. Owens said he quit and left the arena, that’s it.

The Revival defeated The B Team

This was a steady match, but it was short. It was non-title, and of course, the booking yet again does that things where the champs lose and then will win when the titles are on the line. Either way, The Revival got the best of the B Team and would win with the Shatter Machine. Not a terrible match, mind you, but it was short, and well, it served to just make it seem like the B team aren’t that good overall. We shall see what happens next, won’t we?

Elias Did His Thing

Elias was stopped by the leading lady of Trish Stratus, no joke. Stratus came down and got a huge ovation. Trish slapped Elias and then we got Ronda Rousey coming out and that was the end of the segment.

Natalya defeated Alicia Fox

A very short match. Yeah. It was ok at best.

Bobby Lashley defeated The Ascension

The Ascension was buried. That’s it. Thanks for getting a paycheck.

Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman defeated Dolph Ziggler and Drew Mcintyre via DQ

Well, Braun Strowman turned heel when he tagged in and wouldn’t help Roman Reigns. So he let the guys beat him up then the Shield came down and they got those hands. End of story. Wow. Meh.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 30, 2018 Results and Review

WWE Monday Night Raw July 30, 2018 - Image Source WWE 

Can I star calling WWE Monday Night Raw, The Roman Reigns show yet? He started this week by walking slowly to the ring, and well, you know he got a mix of boos and cheers, and he soaked it all in at the start of the show. At this point, it's cool to just hate on the guy if you ask me.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 30, 2018 Results and Review

The Roman Reigns show started with him cutting a promo then calling out Brock Lesnar, but out came Paul Heyman. The two went back and forth, and it was a move to try and get Lesnar booed, which kind of worked. The show then moved to Seth Rollins sitting in the back stage area, and we were 12 minutes into a professional wrestling show, without seeing any professional wrestling at all. I wonder when the wrestling would begin?

At about the 15 minute mark, we started to get our first match, and it featured Alex Wright 2.0. I spoke too soon, the wrestling didn't start. We got a backstage segment where we saw Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman. Lesnar scared Heyman by throwing his phone and then sitting down to read a magazine. I can respect Lesnar, dude is an introvert, doesn't like people, and just wants to collect a paycheck. I like that. I'd do the same. Oh, the wrestling would begin around the 16 minute mark if you took out the commercials, so I cannot really say when the wrestling truly began, but I'm going to guess that it would've been the 20 minute or 30 minute mark if I was watching in real time instead of the day after.

Baron Corbin defeated Finn Balor

This was one hell of a match, and I really dug the whole thing. It was given a little time, and the two went back and forth. I loved Balor's strategy of keeping coming back, and his Shotgun Dropkick on the outside was incredible, and I loved that move. However, Corbin would get his win here, and well, that's what happens, now doesn't it? 50-50 booking strikes again. Corbin did a great job here, and Balor is fun to watch against a bigger opponent. Good stuff, but I'm assuming that this feud is far from over, considering Corbin won and then came back to the ring to do more damage to Balor.

Of course, we would get another mention about the Women's Revolution, and how Stephanie McMahon was a pioneer etc. Man, they keep pushing this. I'll buy it, why not?!

Alicia Fox defeated Natalya

Thanks to a distraction, Alicia Fox picked up a win, however, you're going to find that this was a clumsy match. The two didn't work that well together, and the story really seemed to point towards something a bit different. The match ended thanks to a distraction from Alicia Fox on Ronda Rousey. When that occurred, Natalya was hit with a stiff right hand from Alexa Bliss on the outside, and Fox pounced. After the match, Rond Rousey tried to even the score, but beleive it or not, Alicai Fox got the best of her! I kid you not. I'm not even sure how to really explain what went down, but it got Ronda mad, and we will most likely see a tag team match coming soon. But this match was clumsy at best.

Elias Did A Performance

Who wants to walk with Elias?! Me! Out came Bobby Lashley and the two exchanged a few words, and it seemed like things were going to go swell. However, you knew what was going to go down, and honestly, it was ok, Lashley got mad when Elias hit him, and then threw him down a few pegs, and that was that, or rather, Lashley threw him down in retaliation.

Jinder Mahal defeated Braun Strowman via Count Out

This was a slow match, until Kevin Owens showed up to try and steal the Money in the Bank briefcase. Strowman chased Owens, and then got counted out. Jinder Mahal wins! Wow, the dude gets a win over Strowman. A win is a win, right?

Apollo Crews defeated One of the AOP

A roll up victory for Crews. I couldn't stop looking at Dana Brooke though, I'm sorry, she's hot to me. I'd love to meet her. This match was short and not that good.

Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre Ended In A No Contest

This was a really good match, until Dolph Ziggler ran in to mess things up. That was stupid, and really just messed things up for me. I didn't like that, but hey what can you do? The match was back and forth, with some good moments, and some nice shots, but Ziggler caused the problem, and that was that.

Roman Reigns Was Thrown Out

That's it. Roman Reigns was thrown out of the building. Ok.

The B Team Promo

The B team got called into the ring, and they did some random promo things, it was ok at best. The Deleters of Worlds showed up, but after some back and forth, The Revival showed up and said they should get a title shot. So that prompted Teddy Long to show up and make it a straight up tag team match, you know!

The Revival defeated Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt

Well, this was a throwaway match in a lot of ways. Tully and Arn, I mean The Revival were able to put some serious boots to the random tag team that is Awoken. I miss the revelry of Broken Matt Hardy, not this "woken" Hardy dude. Anyways, this match wasn't too long, and it was the Revival getting the upper hand and winning the match. It was thrown together, and it wasn't half bad to see the second coming of the Brain Busters.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Liv Morgan and Sara Logan

Well, the Riott Squad is done. Bayley and Sasha are on the same page now, and the two put on a show of how good things can be. The showcase of the two are great, and if they are going to create a women's tag team championship, they should get it. The two are great together, and while the Riott Squad didn't go down without a fight, they still lost, and that was that. A good match, although very predictable at this point.

Backstage, the WWE teased Brock Lesnar firing Paul Heyman, as he grabbed him by the collar and basically said he didn't give a crap about the fans or WWE or anything. Then let Heyman go, and that was that. I'm so sick of Lesnar.

Paul Heyman Gives Up

Paul Heyman comes down to the ring and tells Kurt Angle that Brock Lesnar is not going to come down tonight. Heyman was just about fired, but Brock Lesnar then showed up, with only 4 minutes left in the show. Lesnar gave Angle an F5 then almost beat up Heyman and walked away. Meh.

This night of wrestling was boring to me, except there were a few moments that I didn't hate. The women got a little more time than normal, but the guys seemed to be thrown into throwaway segments and matches. I guess that's Raw, the B show if you ask me. I wouldn't say that I would've missed this show if I didn't see it, that's for sure.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 Results and Review

Twisted Bliss Off The Pod - Source WWE dot Com

I really wanted to go to Las Vegas to see this event, but instead, ended up staying home and watching it with my 5 cats. Well, it was predictable, but was it worth your time? My time? Well, here we go, something that is definitely worth exploring on a deeper level. Let’s discuss WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 with the results and review from me, Sir Jorge.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 Results and Review

The kick off show had Booker T and David Otunga back. We also got backstage interviews, a Paul Heyman segment, and a match. This wasn’t bad, but I was cooking so I had to miss a few things overall.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated The Miztourage

This was the most basic of openers. I’m sure if I was live in the crowd I would have loved it. But watching it from home, it wasn’t that good. The Miztourage are nothing more than jobbers, and the Club Sandwich boys are boring to me. I didn’t think this was much of a match, and it really wasn’t supposed to be, was it?

Alexa Bliss won the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match

Alexa Bliss withstood an onslaught of punishment from Sasha Banks and Bayley as they were the final three in the match. Bliss turned on Bayley as soon as she could, and Bliss hit a lot of great moments. She missed Twisted Bliss at one point off the top of a pod because Banks put her legs up. Other than that, it was a showcase of several women’s talents, a few botches, and the story that Bliss can hang with all the women, although everyone did well here and I was into it. A 40 minute epic it was not, but it was good to see them fight through this one. Bliss winning is cool, and I liked Banks and Bayley’s push. I hope they get it on one more time as they are great to see wrestling together.

The Bar defeated Titus Worldwide

This was a fast moving match and while it was entertaining, you knew that The Bar was going to win. There was a moment where I thought that Titus Worldwide was going to get the win, but that faded fast after Sheamus got a hot tag and beat down the athletic guys. Titus Worldwide loses again, but Dana Brooke looked amazing. I’d love to tag with her someday. Oh, the Bar wins with a weak finish, and it looked like Cesaro may have twisted an ankle. This was a fast, safe match, and it was kind of like filler.

Asuka defeated Nia Jax

What a match. This was a monster of a match and Nia Jax wasn’t done with Asuka, even though she lost. She lost after an interesting take down from Asuka that pulled Jax’s legs nearly over her head and shifted her weight over her own. It’s a good finish, but Asuka did not dominate. She got the bricks beaten off her, and I was impressed with the overall match. Nia Jax is the real deal folks, and wow, what a match. She’s awesome.

Ronda Rousey put Triple H Through a Table and got Slapped in the Face

This signing was interesting in that Rousey put Triple H through a table, and then got slapped as hard as possible by Stephanie McMahon. Kurt Angle snitched on Triple H and Stephanie, and this was a bit awkward, but Triple H went through a table which was fun. The crowd was chanting, “YOU FU**** UP” which was awesome! Rousey is amazing, I’d love to hang out with her.

Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt

This was bad. It was a normal match, and Hardy won. I don’t know what I can say about this. It was just Hardy getting the win, but the fans were chanting “Rusev Day” at one point, which shows you how much this crowd wasn’t into this match.

Roman Reigns won the Elimination Chamber Match

And away we go, heading to Wrestlemania with Roman Reigns in the main event, again. Now, the big thing coming out of this is interesting, in that Braun Strowman eliminated everyone else with his powerslam. It was a great match for him, but he lost to Reigns, again. He then beat him up afterwards, but that was that. Everyone else had good showings, but no one seemed ready for Strowman, which was fascinating.

In the end, The Elimination Chamber deserves a B grade for entertainment, but it was so predictable, that I don’t really care to rewatch it. That’s the sign of a terrible PPV isn’t it? I haven’t wanted to see anything WWE has put out in a long time, which should speak volumes to this for sure.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 20, 2017 Results and Review Make Roman Strong Again

Balor - Buried - SOURCE WWE DOT COM

I’m so tired of Roman Reigns, and the booking to make him strong. So much so, that I hated that part of Raw. But let’s talk about how it all went down for Monday, November 20, 2017 as we get another Raw show from Houston, Texas. This is going to be bad at times, and good at times, depending on how you look at it.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 20, 2017 Results and Review

The first thing that happened was something I absolutely hated. Stephanie McMahon came out and decided to talk, and I’m tired of all the talking on Raw. This is where Triple H came down, then Kurt Angle, then Jason Jordan, and Braun Strowman. A match was set for Strowman and Jason Jordan later, even though he wanted to battle Triple H after what happened last night. Stephanie said that Kurt didn’t have the authority to make that match, which is stupid, but ok, I’ll take it. This led to a match set up for Braun Strowman and Jason Jordan.

Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor

The second coming of Alex Wright loses again. Joe is so agile, it’s impressive. He went through a great deal of offense to throw down Balor here, but Balor was no push over. He took joe to several limits, but it was Joe that would get the win here, and well, that’s the end of Balor, right? He loses a lot.

Asuka defeated Dana Brooke

Like you would expect anything else from this match. Dana Brooke was foil for Asuka to battle through, and that’s it.

Dean Ambrose defeated Sheamus

This wasn’t a terrible match, mind you, it was just filler for an otherwise bland show. Ambrose is better as part of the shield than he is solo if you ask me. Sheamus was able to throw down some good offense, but could not defeat Ambrose, who kept kicking out left and right, eventually getting the big win, for whatever reason, I don’t know.

Paige Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose broke up a Fatal Four Way

Pagie showed up, and well she looked like the Joker. The fans went nuts for her, and she brought out two women from NXT. They all attacked the 4 women in the ring trying to battle for the number one contendership, and that’s that. They left them all laying in the ring, and that’s that. Paige is cool I guess. The other two I’m not familiar with, because I haven’t watched NXT as much.

Braun Strowman defeated Jason Jordan via DQ

You know how this was going to go, right? Strowman fought a good fight here, and Jordan tried to battle back. However, Kane showed up and beat up Strowman. Yes, KANE came back, after a week of going through the ring, and he beat up Strowman. I am so tired of Kane.

Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, Akira Tozawa, and Mustafa Ali defeated The Zo Train

Well, I’m tired of the good guys always winning. I’m so tired, that this match wasn’t that fun to watch. Sure, it had a few moments of fun, but it’s just such a dichotomy to see Enzo now having friends, after he got a beat down from the guys on the roster just a few weeks ago. Not only that, the good guys just plow through these bad guys like it’s nothing, and it makes no sense to me, honestly. Not a bad match, not a great match.

Matt Hardy attacked Elias

So Matt Hardy isn’t broken yet, and he attacked Elias. They are totally going to screw this thing up, aren’t they?

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship

You gotta keep Roman Reigns strong. And well, that’s what happened. Reigns was able to plow through the Miz yet again, and left him laying in the middle of the ring after throwing down every part of his offense. The Miz loses, and that’s the end. Roman Reigns is not the intercontinental champion, and he is going to start an open challenge coming soon. Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. I don’t know what else to say about this one.

The night of Wrestling seemed like it was 9 hours long. I am not sure why they didn’t follow up a great deal with the night before, but hey, that’s just what happens.

Bray Wyatt Is Dolph Ziggler With a Lantern - SRC WWE.COM

Once again, WWE Monday Night Raw took me nearly all morning to watch. It honestly felt like 5 or 6 hours instead of 2 hours of condensed material on Youtube, where I get the show. If you felt the same, just know that you’re not alone.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox and Emma def. Bayley, Sasha Banks, Mickie James and Dana Brooke

The opening had Alexa Bliss talking about how she’s awesome, which prompted a brawl, and a tag match. The match was ok, with the heels getting the big win, and once again I have to ask, why is Sasha Banks The Boss? What makes her a boss? She is constantly losing, and getting PWNED. Oh well.

Luke Gallows def. Enzo Amore

Enzo can wrestle! Great overall match in my view, it’s just that the Club Sandwich boys have already wrestled Enzo and Cass a ton of times. This is starting to wear thin, to be honest.

Dean Ambrose organized an Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match

Dean Ambrose, through the night was playing funny guy. He set up a triple threat to see who would challenge for his title. This was ludicrous considering that the Universal Title is not going to get defended for months. Both Finn Balor and Seth Rollins want the Universal Title, and yet they can’t go for it. Meanwhile The Miz has already battled Dean Ambrose a million times, so we are going to get it again? I hate this.

Gentleman Jack Gallagher, Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa def. The Brian Kendrick, Noam Dar and Tony Nese

A fun overall match, with no real momentum going forward. This worked for what it was, but I don’t think that isolating the cruiserweights is a good thing for long term wrestling.

Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz confronted Cesaro and Sheamus

The Hardy Boyz beat up Cesaro and Sheamus, and that’s it.

Apollo Crews def. Heath Slater

Slater gets buried, simple as that.

Austin Aries def. TJP

This was ok, I guess, I am starting to sour on both of these guys, and this match was definitely a good reason to do so. I’m honestly getting tired of the WWE treatment of the cruiserweights.

The Miz def. Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor to become No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship

This was a stellar match, with a lot of back and forth. Again, Rollins seems to have forgotten that his knee hurts. He kept going in and out of character and forgetting that his knee hurts overall. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor had some great offense in this match, but it was Bray Wyatt and Samoa Joe were the wild cards. They went in and mess up the match overall. The Miz got the win thanks to inference. Looks like Miz came to play.

Not a great Raw, not a terrible one, but honestly, there’s a lot of missed opportunities. For instance, where was Brown Shoeman? No Brock aka the Universal Champion, and no single’s match for the women.

Raw was ok at best.

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

This Guy Lost The Match - SRC WWE.COM

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

WWE Monday Night Raw April 24, 2017 Results

The Miz, Dean Ambrose and Jericho Talk A Lot
Matt Hardy defeated Sheamus
Austin Aries and Jack Gallagher defeated Neville and Tj Perkins

Dana Brooke defeated Alicia Fox
Finn Balor, Seth Rollins and Big Cass defeated Samoa Joe, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson
Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss via Count Out

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

WWE Monday Night Raw April 24, 2017 Review

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

Matt Hardy defeated Sheamus

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

Austin Aries and Jack Gallagher defeated Neville and Tj Perkins

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

Kalisto defeated Braun Strowman in a dumpster match

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

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

Dana Brooke defeated Alicia Fox

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

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

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

Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss via Count Out

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

Apollo Crews defeated Curt Hawkins

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

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

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

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

WWE 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.

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 Review

Monday Night Raw was a chore, even for the HULU edition. I had a very hard time getting through the show. I do not have cable, so I did not get to see the 3 hour showcase, but from what I hear online, it wasn’t that good at all. Here are my thoughts on the HULU edition, since it cut out a LOT.

Seth Rollins Fought Rusev to a Double Count Out

This wasn’t half bad. Rusev and Rollins put on an OK match. I liked the fact that Rollins did not injure Rusev, and didn’t get him killed either. Other than that, I was wondering how they would keep both men strong. What ended up happening, however, was the two fought each other to a double count out and that was that. Not a terrible match, but not great either.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Charlotte and Dana Brooke defeated Sasha Banks and Bayley

They turned the WWE Championship match for this weekend into a three way dance. I live in Indianapolis, and will not be attending at all. Oh well. This match wasn’t bad, but it was far from good as well. It featured the same spots as before, and it seemed a little rushed to me. Dana and Charlotte would get the win, and that’s it.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Chris Jericho Throws Logic Out of the Window

Chris Jericho came out to put people on his list of grievances. One minute he is writing off everyone on the roster, then joins those same idiots as part of a tag team! What the hell?

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day, Sami Zayn, Enzo Amore & Big Cass def. Chris Jericho, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson & The Shining Stars

A fun match, nothing to write home about though. I was tired, but this match was even more tired. They all phoned it in, with the spots you’d expect from a pay per view opener.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Brian Kendrick defeated Gran Metalik, Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann

The winner would get a title shot this weekend, and I loved it. I loved how the match was paced, and I like how Kendrick looked strong amidst the others. I did notice that the move sets were toned down. Turns out, that the WWE has asked these guys to tone down the jumps and what not. After a full classic tournament where the guys were flying around the ring, they are muted already? Whatever. Look for the division to get more of a Chavo Guerrero style wrestling program rather than what you saw in the CWC.

Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens in a Steel Cage Match

Here’s the thing. The announce team kept talking about how Kevin Owens was a coward for trying to escape. But Roman Reigns wins by escape!?! What the hell? Where is the logic? Then Seth Rollins comes out to save Roman Reigns for a beat down? Why? WHY DOES SETH ROLLINS CARE? Seriously, what does he care if Roman Reigns is getting a beat down? WHAT THE HELL?

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Monday Night Raw made absolutely no sense. Seriously, it made no sense for Seth Rollins, it made no sense to have sexual tension between Stephanie McMahon and Seth Rollins, it was a crap show with a crap build for their pay per view this weekend. I almost bought a ticket, I’m glad I did not. What a load of garbage.

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.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 22, 2016 Results and Review: Rollins Is Unsafe

The Shining Spot for WWE This Week

Monday Night Raw has come and gone, and people were wondering what was going to be the fall out from Summerslam. Well, what you’re going to end up seeing is a lot more of the same old BS that made the old era, well, tired. This time around the show opened up with Finn Balor giving up the WWE Fruit Roll Up Title to Seth Rollins. It should be noted that Bret Hart said on a podcast that Seth is UNSAFE and he injures people.

Everyone had their panties in a bunch, and then the Summerslam match happened. As soon as I saw Rollins throw Balor into the barricade, I knew he was injured. I called it on twitter, I called it in my house, and yet NO ONE GAVE ME CREDIT. That’s how big my site is. Whatever. I called it first, and you can believe me or not, but Seth Rollins is unsafe, and should be fired. The guy sucks. He injured Finn Balor, he injured John Cena, he caused Sting to retire. They fired Ken Kennedy for less. Whatever. Here’s what happened on Raw, I only saw the HULU edition, and am still upset over the lackluster showing at Summerslam this year. What a crock of dog…never mind.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 22, 2016 Review

As you know I don’t run down everything that happens, I just talk about what I remember and what was actually worthwhile, so here we go.

Seth Rollins def. Sami Zayn to advance to next week's Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Match

Sami Zayn got injured in this match, or at least faked it, but you know what was funny? The commentary team kept mentioning that Seth Rollins injures people. Good job, play it up you putz. I hate the commentary on Raw. Anyways, this match wasn’t half bad, but you knew that Sami was not going to beat Rollins. The whole night was predictable, and that kind of sours the whole pro-wrestling thing for me sometimes. Rollins wins after the predictable pedigree, and that’s it. Nothing to see here. Zayn may or may not have hurt his ankle. Does it matter?

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Bayley def. Dana Brooke

Bayley finally comes to the main roster, only to take the place of Sasha Banks, who is legit injured. People were saying it was a wellness violation, but it’s not, she’s just injured. She’ll be back in a month or so. Bayley, for now is going to match up well against Charlotte, but will not win. Dana Brooke put the boots to Bayley, but it was Bayley’s night to shine, so the match went well enough. Feminazis on twitter are going to hate that this match wasn’t the main event or even longer than about 10 minutes. I can already see them hating the divas revolution.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

The Club Sandwich Boys beat up The Dudley Boys

The Dudleys are either kayfabe retiring, or they did not renew their contracts with WWE. They are a joke team now. The Club Sandwich guys showed up to beat up The Dudleys, but I don’t care about them. Oh and the Puerto Rican guys were out there to talk trash, only to get beat up as well. Overall bad segment.

Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho to advance to next week’s Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Match

I knew the winner before it started. Roman wins. He’ll get to the main event spot, he’ll win, I am going back to sleep.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Final Raw Notes

In the end, Raw sucked. You know it, I know it, and everyone at the building knew it. One shining moment doesn’t make for 3 hours of fun. No mention of Brock Lesnar, or the fact that he doesn’t care about wrestling and just makes money. Also, no signs of Randy Orton, but maybe he’ll be on Smackdown to declare it’s the end of his career. Who cares, who knows, this is all a bunch of BS.

Even the HULU edition of Raw sucked this week. Maybe Smackdown will be better, I don’t know. We’ll see.
