WWE Monday Night Raw August 8, 2016: The Return of Boredom Movements

I can only see the HULU edition of the show. This review isn’t complete, as I can only see the limited edition that comes through HULU the day after Raw. I also want to mention that this is not a traditional review like other sites. I don’t need to recap everything, as not all the show caught my attention.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 8, 2016 Review

Let’s start the show with a long talking segment again. Why not? Ok, well this was ok since Enzo Amore is gold on the mic, and his mic work against Chris Jericho was great overall. Kevin Owens coming out to say that he is going to hurt Enzo and Cass was great. This led to a match between Jericho and Enzo, which was ok, but it was mired by interference.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Seth Rollins is annoying on the mic. I did like that he mentioned that his name could’ve been “Rambo Apocalypse”, now that’s a name I can get behind honestly.

Finn Balor Needs To Learn To Speak Native English

When Finn Balor talks it sounds like he has marbles in his mouth. It’s bad. I should know. I am a Naturalized American Citizen and I have to work really hard to ensure that my words are understood straight out. I worked hard on my lingual abilities and Finn should too. Heck Seth should too. Cody Rhodes should get rid of that lisp too.

Roman Reigns messed up Lana and Rusev’s celebration which was kind of funny. I’m never going to cheer Reigns though. I did find this amusing.

Sasha Banks defeated Dana Brooke

This match was boring to me. Dana is a jobber, Charlotte and Sasha mistimed a slap, the whole match lasted less than a few minutes. The feminists WWE twitter people are going to be mad about this one, I’m sure. They’ll most likely talk bad about anyone that disagrees too.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Luke Gallows buries Kofi Kingston

I liked this burial, can’t lie. However, I wish the club sandwich boys would go back to beating up John Cena. The brand split isn’t exactly sticking afterall.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

The ending with Daniel Bryan from Smackdown talking to Mick Foley was stupid. I though tthere was a distinct brand split? This served no purpose but boredom.

At the end of the day, this was the worst Raw since the brand split, simple as that.

Overall Raw Rating: 1 out of 5

WWE Superstars 5/7/2016 Results and Review The Last Match of Damien Sandow

Immediately after announcing that it was Damien Sandow, the crowd exploded, but was muted. You could hear it being muted, but oh well. Byron Saxton and Tom Phillips were the announcers for the night, and this really was an interesting show to watch. I recommend checking it out.

Darren Young defeated Damien Sandow (LAST MATCH IN WWE)

What a way to send out your talent than to bury them. Sandow got buried this week, especially if you were following the dirt sheets, as NO ONE mentioned his last two matches at length. At least not that I know of, because hey, I know everything, right? The commentary team kept talking about how Damien Sandow was a fan favorite and he had new aggression. Yeah, yeah, well then why fire him? He got beat down in this match, and would eventually lose to Darren Young, with a non-finisher. What a sad state. This match was hard to watch, knowing that Sandow is officially gone from WWE.

A ton of this show was just WWE Raw recaps, so it’s not an essential show to watch.

Apollo Crews defeated Heath Slater

Slater still has a job? Sandow is fired but Slater has a job? What the hell? All but a few members of the original Nexus are left, aren’t they? That burial that Cena gave them at Summerslam still looming. This was a lengthier match than the one he had on Main Event. Heath Slater put on a good fight, the Social Outcasts were trying to mess up things outside, but nope, it was all Crews. Heath Slater and the Social Jobbers lose again.

Not a great show, lots of recaps,  2 matches total.

WWE Royal Rumble 2016 or 1999 Results and Review

We are in a time machine aren’t we? If you read my Royal Rumble 2016 predictions, you know that all my picks were wrong. I still, for the life of me, cannot believe Daniel Bryan didn’t come out of the back to enter the ring at number 29 or 30. Whatever the case is, though, things got shaken up. Let’s get to the results and review, but first the review, then the results, because that’s how I do this thing now.

Mark Henry and Jack Swagger defeated Jobbers

The other teams in this match were nothing short of jobbers. This is an absolutely terrible opening. But, I will say this much, the guys put on a fun, fast paced match. The ending was clumsy. Henry and Swagger got a shot for the Royal Rumble. Oh boy. The best thing was that Damien Sandow was in this match, which was kind of cool.

Dean Ambrose defeated Kevin Owens – Intercontinental Championship Last Man Standing Match

This was one hell of a match. Owens and Ambrose took a beating, but it was Ambrose that really impressed with the falls and protection of Ambrose. Sick table bumps, and a 2 table dive to end this one, this match was incredible. It was a great opener, and definitely put on a showcase for fans and naysayers alike.

The New Day defeated The Usos – WWE Tag Team Championship Match

“What’s the New Day’s gimmick?” – My Wife. Yeah, what is their gimmick? This match was ok, but it’s painfully obvious that The Usos were outmatched, outclassed, and out wrestled. Third man antics or not, this was a match that painfully showed off that the tag division is still diminished. It was an ok match.

Kalisto Defeated Alberto Del Rio – United States Championship Match

Boring match, but it’s nice to see Kalisto get a push. Del Rio is ripped, man, I wish I had that kind of muscle mass. Oh well.

Charlotte defeated Becky Lynch

This was a good overall match, but with Ric Flair interfering, and The Boss showing up at the end, this was a bit mired. Lynch can really wrestle, but Charlotte’s antics are going to cause a shake up in this division. Then again, who knows. I liked this match, but it was not as good as the NXT Brooklyn match that The Boss had.

Triple H won the 2016 Royal Rumble Match

Let’s talk about AJ MOTHER EFFIN STYLES! Holy crap! AJ STYLES! AJ STYLES! This was an incredible reaction. The rest? Well, it was good to see things here. However, Triple H winning and Roman Reigns getting another loss is definitely not a great one. Let's talk game changers though, since we know that Triple H lost.

Chris Jericho’s 50 minute run! Holy crap, I thought Jericho may have won this match after seeing his incredible performance.

Brock Lesnar and Brown Snowman. Snowman wouldn’t go down. Lesnar did a lot of hard style hits, and took down a lot of the Wyatt Family, but he got dumped out.

AJ Styles, holy crap. Holy Crap!

Roman Reigns is no Steve Austin.

Kevin Owens against the world, holy crap. Watch this again just to see him wrestle. Incredible.

That’s the end, that’s the end.

WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Results

Overall, this was a B rating, with some disappointment coming through at the end. I wanted Aj Styles to win, or Daniel Bryan to show up. That’s it. Good night! Or whatever. I’m getting HULU tomorrow as a result of the Rumble, that’s for sure.

WWE Superstars 1/13/10 REsults

Chris Masters & JTG defeated Chavo Guerrero & Curt Hawkins
Gail Kim defeated Alicia Fox
Primo, Darren Young, DH Smith, and Yoshi Tatsu defeated The Usos, William Regal, and Zack Ryder

WWE Superstars 1/13/10 Review

Chris Masters & JTG defeated Chavo Guerrero & Curt Hawkins

If I saw this match live, I would mark out huge, but on tv? This is not a great match to watch. IT had a lot of slow downs and not too much action. JTG was able to liven up the mood, and Hawkins can bump, but Masters and Chavo made this one slower than I'd like it to be. The match would eventually end with realitive ease from Masters.

Gail Kim defeated Alicia Fox

This was the most exciting divas match I've seen in a long time. There were a few major hits, but it was all Gail Kim in this one. I loved it. Her missile drop kick is picture perfect and I'm amazed that the divas don't get more quality matches like this. Gail Kim wins, and that's the end of that.

Primo, Darren Young, DH Smith, and Yoshi Tatsu defeated The Usos, William Regal, and Zack Ryder

This match wasn't half bad, it had a lot of back and forth action, a lot of quick tags, and quality moments to watch. The match went for a good amount of time, and it was interesting to see this unfold. After a good amount of time, the ring cleared and left Zack Ryder and Yoshi Tatsu alone in the ring, which would end in predictable fashion...Tatsu knocks out Ryder and that is the end of that.

WWE Superstars 12/23/10 Results

DH Smith defeated Zack Ryder
The USO Brothers defeated Yoshi Tatsu & Darren Young
Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix defeated Laycool

WWE Superstars 12/23/10 Review

This has been one hell of a week for wrestling fans, and today we'll have 2 reviews one of this show and one of Impact, followed by a Christmas edition of this week in Wrestling. I was excited to have something to do as everyone else was working or asleep on Christmas eve. I for one haven't had a job in 16 months, and don't have a Christmas tree or presents, nevermind.

Zack Ryder came out to a chorus of boos and it was hilarious. Scott Stanford and Jerry Lawler were on commentary, and aren't half bad.

DH Smith defeated Zack Ryder

DH Smith sucks. I'm just going to say it here, he has NO major charisma at this point and neither does Tyson Kidd. He might be a legacy but he's no British Bulldog. This match could've been a four star classic, but only because Zack Ryder has an over the top character. This was a very solid match up, evenly matched and not half bad. However, it wasn't until the end did I get impressed. DH Smith hit a nice Saito Suplex to put DH Smith out, and it was picture perfect. Zack needs to be on the main roster, his character draws so much heat, oh well. DH Smith wins, I think he sucks, this match wasn't terrible.

Is anyone watching NXT? I'm not.

The USO Brothers defeated Yoshi Tatsu & Darren Young

This was probably one of the worst tag team matches I've seen in a long time. The USOS worked very well as a team and Young & Tatsu just weren't very good in ring. The match wasn't too long and it was just a job match. I still think Darren Young's "I'm the missing link" was awesome, but it's been a long time since then.

Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix defeated Laycool

The divas main evented this night of wrestling and it wasn't too terrible. I didn't think it was as good as this past weekend's match, but the women put on a good show for the live crowd and us at home. There was a lot of back and forth action, and it wasn't until Beth Phoenix took control towards the end where this match really got good. Phoenix is so good, and she was able to get a lot of good offense in before Michelle McCool stormed the ring to save Layla. Layla got hit by McCool on accident and Phoenix hit her GlamSlam and won the match up for her team. Laycool was put to rest in this one, and it was very impressive. The divas can really put on a good wrestling show when they are given time. Even the crowd agreed.

This night of Superstars wasn't terrible, it was a good overall match up and something that I enjoyed. Hopefully you liked it if you saw it, and if not, check it out sometime, there's actually good wrestling on the show from time to time.

Whether you hate John Cena or Love John Cena, you're going to probably want to check out The John Cena Experience 3 DISC DVD set or the BLU RAY High Definition John Cena Experience. The set contains 16 matches from all over Cena's career but most importantly goes behind the scenes of his life to show you just how much effort he puts into working for the WWE. The commercial was quite interesting and the set looks like something you'd want to pick up. If you're interested in the John Cena Experience click here to purchase it for cheap, it helps this blog continue and hopefully gets me an internet connection at home, because right now I'm using the old library in my town.

JTG defeated Curt Hawkins
Zack Ryder defeated Darren Young
Drew McIntyre defeated Yoshi Tatsu

WWE Superstars 12/16/10 Review

Before I get into the review, I'd like to ask any reader out there to utilize the amazon.com links on this site to purchase items from them. I could use any help I can get in terms of making extra money, as I have no job, and there's no presents or even a tree at my house this year. We just have no money to spare. I get internet access from the library, so these reviews and shows are thanks to my local public library. If they close down, I wouldn't have a blog anymore.

And now, the review:

JTG defeated Curt Hawkins

JTG needs to get back with Shad and they need to reform their tag team. This match wasn't half bad, but the commentary and the "piped" in sounds were terrible. The match started slowly, but eventually went forward and started to pick up steam after Hawkins made this into a snooze fest. JTG has some good offense, and after hitting The Shout Out, Hawkins was put away.

This match wasn't that great, but JTG could be finally getting a push. He can talk on the mic, he has a persona, and maybe people like him enough to see him as a contender for one of the mid-card titles, maybe.

NXT looks ok this season, but I never watch, cause I can't stand internet shows.

Zack Ryder defeated Darren Young

Darren Young is really making a name for himself, and I really like him. I could see him showing up to help thwart NXT and I loved when he returned and said that he wasn't the weak link, he was the missing link, and BOOOM got taken out. I'd love to see him comeback and mop up. He's got a new hairstyle. I wanted to note that Superstars, during this match, had a different camera and it was really stupid, it was too close, and the cuts were odd, it was a weird looking thing.

The match was fast moving, and wasn't half bad. Zack Ryder hit a nice stand up neck breaker, and he continued to be his persona through out his offense. Darren Young can really take a beating, which is interesting. Ryder hit the Rough Ryder (leaping leg drop) and Darren Young once again loses. I liked the match enough, but Ryder deserves more. He should be fighting for a midcard belt too.

Drew McIntyre defeated Yoshi Tatsu

Drew McIntyre and Yoshi Tatsu were given a good amount of time, and it wasn't half bad, it was interesting and went back and forth. Drew eventually won, but it was just didn't matter, he sucks. I think he sucks, and well, Tatsu's gimmick can only get him so far. The match eventually finished and that was that, just another win.

Overall Superstars wasn't that good, it had a couple of good moments, but overall it just wasn't worth watching. I could've done without it. I wish the WWE would tie in more stories from Raw and Smackdown on to the show, and then maybe I could care more for it. As a pure wrestling show, it's not half bad, so I guess they have that going for it.

I would please ask anyone that shops on amazon.com, to use the links in the sidebar, and support this site.

WWE Superstars 12/3/10 Results

Tyler Reks defeated Trent Berretta
William Regal defeated Darren Young
Tyson Kidd defeated DH Smith

WWE Superstars 12/3/10 Review

Another week of Thursday night wrestling, and I'm not as tired as I usually am. It's probably because I have no job, so I can sleep more often.

Here is how things went down, on the least watched wrestling show aside from Impact.

Tyler Reks defeated Trent Berretta

Tyler Reks and Trent Berretta really went out there and fought hard for this one, even if no one cared. I can't get behind either guy here. The match had a few moments that looked good, especially with the high flyer getting the best of the monster, but overall, the end wasn't that great with a torture rack into a slam of sorts. Tyler Reks eventually outlasted Trent and won.

The two have talent, but I don't care about either one's character, so eh...I didn't really care for the match, I guess.

NXT Season 3's winner was announced, and the winner of NXT is:

Kaitlyn

No one cared, especially me.

William Regal defeated Darren Young

Darren Young completely beat down Darren Young again. Young has been getting better each and every week, but wow, Regal really put him away. The Regal Stretch looked really good, and Young is on his way out, he's just on his way out.

CM Punk was on the mic with the new guy, and it was good overall. I liked it a lot, and hope Darren Young is the wild card in the Nexus angle in coming weeks.

Tyson Kidd defeated DH Smith

This match was given some time, but it wasn't all that great. I was actually bored a few times during this match, despite the two of them working well together. The match had a few high spots, but neither man has the charisma that their family has, so it's going to take some time to build on obvious in ring talent. The two are done, I guess...or rather, the tag team is done.

WWE Superstars 10/21/10 Results

Santino & Kozlov defeated The Usos
William Regal defeated Darren Young
Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated MVP & Chris Masters

WWE Superstars 10/21/10 Review

Without a major tuesday night show, I feel like I go a long time between wrestling programming. But then Friday morning rolls around and it's time to talk wrestling again to a blog only 2 people read, but that's ok, I like to do it for the fun...Lord knows it's not for the money...geez.

Santino & Kozlov defeated The Usos

Santino has gone from a complete comedy angle, to a comedy angle that can actually move and wrestle in ring. I like how they are making him more of a threat, but feel that it will be short lived. On the other hand, The Usos got mopped up fast with The Scorpion! I don't like these non-meaningful tag matches, at the expense of a "real" tag team. The USOS went from tag team title contenders to jobbers, and that can't be good for the tag team industry as a whole.

William Regal defeated Darren Young

Darren Young is impressive, but not so impressive that he beats William REgal. That's not to say that Darren Young was jobbed out, he put on one hell of a fight against the veteran. I'm assuming the WWE is still teaching Young, because he keeps showing up on Superstars and putting on valiant efforts, only to lose. That's ok with me, I don't mind Darren Young.

The Nexus gave everyone a recap of Monday Night, nothing too cool.

Drew McIntyre & Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated MVP & Chris Masters

This match wasn't half bad, it featured some good back and forth action. MVP and Cody Rhodes made this match quite good, and in the end? Rhodes hit his finisher and MVP landed awkwardly, but the champs win, as is expected. Chris Masters at least got some good overall offense too, but you can tell that this was just a "throw away" match for the most part.

Chris Masters got a black eye and it looked bad, to show that this match was in fact more than just a jobber squash, which is always a good signt. WWE Superstars is definitely a cool show to watch, it's mostly wrestling, longer matches, and little to no talking. I enjoyed it, even though it had really nothing to do with the other WWE plot points or stories, but then again, that's why we all watch wrestling...not soap operas...nevermind.

WWE Superstars 10/14/10 Results

Kelly Kelly defeated Layla
Curt Hawkins defeated Trent Barreta
Darren Young defeated Primo
Melina defeated Alicia Fox

WWE Superstars 10/14/10 Review

Kelly Kelly defeated Layla

This match was ok at best. It wasn't a terrible match, and it wasn't a complete mess, but it wasn't great either. Kelly Kelly has definitely improved with her timing, and Layla is entertaining as ever. Natalya's dress was arousal inducing, for sure, but the match was ok. Lots of safe offense, nothing too crazy, and watchable. Kelly Kelly got the win with a roll up and that's that.

The New Big Show Movie looks funny.

Curt Hawkins defeated Trent Barreta

This match was your standard jobbers match, if you ask me (which you didn't), and it wasn't half bad. Curt Hawkins has a little "it" factor, and his music isn't half bad. He seems like the second coming of Edge and I think he can really be something, especially with that excellent "heat seeking elbow" which is the best elbow I've seen in a while. I'm not sure if he'll get anything in the form of main event push in the near future, but I liked the match enough.

Darren Young defeated Primo

I can't believe that Darren Young is doing so well. This match was back and forth and wasn't half bad. Darren Young was really pushing forward and he has a lot of great timing, and Primo's no slouch either. I loved the ending too, Darren Young has a nice full-nelson face plant finisher which was definitely a positive thing. Darren Young could end up being one of the better rookies, especially if they keep giving him opportunities like this. I'll even stop calling him the BLack John Cena if he keeps it up.

Melina defeated Alicia Fox

This match was ok, nothing too insane here. Both women botched moves, and both women had some highlights, but it wasn't anything too amazing. Watch the show in HD really made the diva's look nasty, especially with a LOT of make up on. Melina took some nice bumps, and her roll up bridge was impressive. I didn't hate this match, which is a plus, and of course Melina wins.

Overall, not a terrible night of wrestling. I liked the Darren Young match, and can see him as a viable competitor for WWE. I hope they give him something more than just bland "Black John Cena" stuff, but if not, oh well. As for the rest of the show? It was ok at best.

If you haven't already done so, I highly suggest ordering the Chris Jericho dvd set, it's seriously good.

Chris Masters defeated Vance Archer
William Regal defeated Darren Young
The Usos defeated The Hart Dynasty

WWE Superstars 10/7/10 Review

Chris Masters defeated Vance Archer

This match was a lot longer than I would've wanted. The match went on for a while and it was a slow moving, power move filled, rest hold match up. There were some stiff hits here, but overall, this match was basically to help get Archer over. Masters continued to carry a good portion of this match with a well received a comeback. Archer eventually lost via the Master Lock. Yep.

Post match, Hawkins attacked Archer. I guess that means Archer and Hawkins are no longer a team? whatever.

William Regal defeated Darren Young

Darren Young was taken out by Regal, but not a squash in any way. Darren Young showcased that he had a few moves, and the crowd was actually into it. I liked Young's offense, and I liked Regals tactics. Young would eventually lose this one with a stiff kick to the face, and Young looked like he was legit knocked out. Young loses, but he was in there with a very harsh William Regal. I think Darren Young has a real future ahead of him, and I hope he takes out the Nexus...but it probably won't happen.

The Usos defeated The Hart Dynasty

This match was something we've seen a million times before. The Usos finally do what they couldn't do for a long time, and the crowd was into it, which was odd. Unless it was piped in. The Usos won after a big splash and the Hart's once again are on the losing end. Look for them to split and go singles.

THat's the end of the night.

There's a new announcer on Superstars named Scott something...and he didn't do half bad.

WWE Monday Night Raw 9/6/10 Results

John Morrison defeated Chris Jericho
Melina defeated Alicia Fox
SUPER CENA defeated Justin Gabriel
Edge defeated Great Khali via countout
Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett

WWE Monday Night Raw 9/6/10 Review

The show started with Nexus in the ring...getting booed.

Nexus was going on and on about last week's win and blah blah blah. Out came Randy Orton to confront them on the mic, and before Orton could say too much or much of anything, Michael Cole had an email from the general manager.

Randy Orton will go against Wade in a single match with Nexus banned from ring side...whatever.

John Morrison defeated Chris Jericho

Jericho and Morrison put on a halfway decent match up here. You can't go wrong with a Jericho match, and Morrison actually hit Starship Pain clean on Jericho, and won the match up! This match wasn't too long, but there were some good spots. Jericho is NO LONGER going after the title, he's been removed from the six pack challenge as a result of this match. Jericho looked legit hurt after taking the Starship Pain flush on his arm...a broken arm? Maybe.

Melina defeated Alicia Fox

Who cares. Really...what a joke.

SUPER CENA defeated Justin Gabriel

Well that's the end of that. SUPER CENA won with relative ease. Whatever.

The Miz threw up a promo and talked about the WWE Magazine cover he's on...blah blah and out came Daniel Bryan. Bryan cut a nice promo and basically said he'd take the U.S Title off of The Miz with relative ease. Bryan challenged MIZ to a title match, in which MIZ said YES!

Bryan got the lock on Miz but was saved by Alex Riley,but Bryan got the best of the two! He also made Riley TAP! The Miz didn't save Riley!

Edge defeated Great Khali via countout

Edge won this easy match by tricking Khali and winning via countout.

An email came in....and it said that Edge had to face Khali again in a NO DQ match...and would eventually win by throwing KHALI over the top rope and winning...what a piece of crap match.

Edge sucks now.

backstage, Chris Jericho looked tired and sad....he was asked what his future plans were, and he had nothing to say.

Randy Orton defeated Wade Barrett

This match sucked, the two were looking awkward at points, and the match continued to push Orton as a major top guy. As Barrett was looking to win this match, out of the blue a surprise came down the ramp, DARREN YOUNG! Orton struck with an RKO thanks to the distraction and won the match.

Darren Young then claimed he was the missing link for Nexus!

Orton then hit Darren Young with an RKO.

He then hit Edge with an RKO.

He then hit Sheamus with an RKO.

SUPER CENA MOVE OVER HERE IS THE INCREDIBLE ORTON!

Yep. Orton once again hit the RKO on everyone. What is this the second coming of DDP? What the heck?

WWE NXT 5/18/2010 Review

Wade Barrett defeated Darren Young

This match was ok, Barrett once again won, and it was nice to see. Darren Young had a few good moments, but he made some rookie mistakes, and eventually got put away with that fireman’s carry finisher. Wade is ok, but I don’t think he’s that great.

Daniel Bryan and Michael Tarver were given the mic to talk about why they were eliminated, and it was ok. That is until Daniel went after Stryker and Michael Cole! He went nuts and even attacked Michael Cole until they had to restrain him.

YES! HE PUNKED OUT COLE!

Justin Gabriel defeated Heath Slater

This was an adequate match, and the best part was the ending. Justin Gabriel’s 450 Splash is insane, it’s one of the best things in Wrestling right now. It’s crisp, it looks natural, and it doesn’t get messed up like Juvi’s or the Shooting Star press by Kidman, it looks nice. Slater did some good moves too, but wow, that 450 is amazing.

Michael Cole quit the broadcast booth.

Darren Young was eliminated from NXT.

Michael Cole came back.

David Otunga defeated Justin Gabriel

WWE NXT 5/11/2010 Review

The show opened up with the elimination of Michael Tarver. He then threw afit and left the arena. Well that’s the end of that. This was a dumb opening, and while I thought Tarver had promise, this is the end.

Daniel Bryan was also eliminated from NXT.

Wade Barrett defeated Heath Slater

I am going to agree with a lot of people, Wade Barrett has some size and some style to win this thing, and while Slater has some major athleticism, he lost this one, and could still walk away with the whole enchilada…..mmmmm…enchiladas.

Skip Sheffield defeated Darren Young

This match wasn’t all that great, but I could see where Skip Sheffield would win the whole show, and Young can only be saved…if he joins the Straightedge Society.

David Otunga defeated Justin Gabriel

This match wasn’t all that great. Otunga and Gabriel battled for a little bit, but it was Otunga that got the win here. I didn’t really think it was all that great.

Lastly, another person was eliminated.

But first the Pro’s Poll

1. Wade Barrett
2. David Otunga
3. Justin Gabriel
4. Heath Slater
5. Darren Young

Skip Sheffield was #6, and was eliminated.

Another boring NXT show, and boy I was glad this was over.

WWE NXT 4/27/10 Review

I’m so sick of the NXT rookies, and this show altogether.

The Rookies had to sell programs, and Skip Sheffield tried to sell programs to people, and it was lame.

Chris Jericho & Wade Barrett defeated Christian & Heath Slater

This match was quick and showcased both sides relatively well. I liked it overall, and this time around Jericho got the pin over Slater, in a bit of revenge.

Michael Cole called Daniel Bryan a tool.

Daniel Bryan instead of selling programs, gave them all away

Darren Young defeated Michael Tarver

This match was interesting to note, it had Tarver putting some good effort against Young, but before Tarver could get this win, Darren Young got the pinfall with help from Sarena and Luke Gallows.

Post match, Luke Gallows acted like he didn’t care about Young, yet he interfered in the match…looks interesting to me.

David Otunga is going to try and sell programs.

Otunga hired some kids to sell the programs for him, in an interesting move.

Heath Slater tried to sell programs. Otunga was in the lead.

Skip Sheffield defeated Daniel Bryan

Skip Sheffield was scheduled to wrestle against The Miz, but instead forced Daniel Bryan wrestle Skip. The match was interesting with Bryan battling through a lot of the early goings of the match, and at one point it looked like Bryan had this match won. However, Sheffield caught his wind and eventually knocked Bryan out and it was the end of this match.

WWE NXT 4/20/10 Review

The opening of NXT had them doing some “American Gladiators” type event with the guys hitting each other with oversized bars on pedestals. It was boring. The only stand out thing that happened was Tarver quitting before even fighting Daniel Bryan.

Justin Gabriel defeated David Otunga

This match was not half bad, and it was actually telling a story. Otunga and R Truth are having some issues, and it showed.

I think that a good idea would be for the NXT rookies to face their mentors in the near future.

Darren Young defeated Michael Tarver and Skip Sheffield in a triple threat match

This match was a slow paced and had a few moments that made the rookies look good, but the story continues with Tarver not being able to wrestle, Young and Luke Gallows itching to switch places in the Straightedge Society, and that’s about it. Nothing too crazy going on here.

Skip Sheffiled and Darren Young tied in the little American Gladiators thing…and then they had to do it again.

Skip Sheffield wins the second round.

Heath Slater defeated Chris Jericho

This match kind of sucked, but Slater was able to get a win in this match up, creating a cool upset of sorts, but it wasn’t too great. Slater rolled up Jericho after an attempted Walls of Jericho.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 4/16/10

Edge and Chris Jericho opened the show arguing about who can beat Swagger and Orton. It was your average opening, and you know? Despite the two guys being good, I’m sick of the repetition in the wwe right now.

Drew McIntyre defeated Kane via disqualification

Kane and Drew McIntyre put on a halfway decent match in this match up. Kane was fighting hard, and Drew managed to get the win after Hardy threw Drew back in the ring. McIntyre was trying to leave and get counted out, but in a bizarre enforcement of the rules, the referee disqualified Kane! This match was decent, but come on, now you’re going to enforce the rules? This makes no sense.

Dolph Ziggler defeated R Truth

This match had Truth looking as good as ever. He was flipping and flopping through Ziggler with relative ease. However, he made a mistake and Ziggler made him pay for it! Ziggler hit the sleeper hold and wouldn’t let go, winning the match! The sleeper hold is back in full effect, which is weird in modern professional wrestling. I can’t believe it, Ziggler wins with the sleeper.

Michelle McCool defeated Mickie James

This was the longest divas match that the WWE has allowed in a long time. Unfortunately, it wasn’t all that good. McCool and James did manage to put on a halfway decent match up, but it wasn’t full of wrestling, it was a lot of resting and running, and then with a quick interference and a kick to the face McCool wins again.

Post match, Beth Phoenix came to save the day, and chased out team LayCool.

The Hart Dynasty & Rey Mysterio defeated Straightedge Society & Darren Young

Darren Young was the highlight of this match, not because of his offense, but because he was getting worked, and was working well with the straightedge society. Other than that, this match was a back and forth affair that was given some good time. I liked it, but it seemed like I have already seen this at a different time. The win came when DH Smith hit the running powerslam on C.M. Punk for the three count. Not a bad match, but not a great one either.

JTG defeated Croft

JTG in singles competition completely bored me. Cryme Tyme had something, but solo? They just aren’t that good in my opinion. JTG and Croft put together a random, and non-eventful match.

Post match, Shad came out and beat up JTG, and that was that. The lowest point of Smackdown had arrived. I don’t care about this feud at all.

Jack Swagger defeated Edge and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat Title Match

In one of the longest main events on Smackdown, a triple threat match for the World Title was held, and it wasn’t half bad. I don’t believe it was ppv quality, but it was quite good. There were plenty of near falls, finishing moves, and lots of moments where it looked like any of the three would win. Jericho still had his ribs taped, so he was selling the believability of being injured, and let Edge and Swagger do most of the heavy lifting. Edge hit a huge spear towards the end of the match, and I thought this one was over, but nope, Swagger was able to pull Edge out and pin Jericho to retain the world title in one of the best free matches of the year. Swagger wins a hard fought battle, in this exciting triple threat match.

WWE NXT 4/13/10 Review

The NXT rookies were given several seconds to talk about a certain topic…and this sucked. Man I hated this piece of crap. The guys were ok at best, no one got cheered, but Skip did manage to get the crowd going.

Christian defeated Wade Barrett

Christian put the boots to Wad and it wasn’t half bad. Barrett is actually quite good and Jericho and him put on a half way decent match up. Heath Slater helped Christian win, but it didn’t matter.

William Regal defeated Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan got beat up relatively easily here, as Regal mopped him up. Post match, The Miz hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Bryan and left him in the ring.

Darren Young defeated Luke Gallows

This match was a fast one, and Darren Young was able to defeat Luke Gallows. CM Punk rose his hands at the end of the match.

WWE NXT on SyFy 3/16/10 Review

Darren Young & Cm Punk defeated Justin Gabriel & Matt Hardy

Justin Gabriel missing the 450 splash was great. Punk kept attacking Gabriel, which was good to see. Darren Young & Punk were doing great overall, but after winning the match, Punk knocked out Darren Young and left. I actually thought this match wasn’t half bad.

The Great Khali defeated Daniel Bryan

The Great Khali easily took care of Daniel Bryan, in a short match. I didn’t hate it.

Heath Slater defeated Michael Tarver

Not a terrible match, but not that great. I liked it. Tarver showed some nice aggression after the match, but he couldn’t win the match. I liked it.

Wade Barrett defeated Skip Sheffield

This was a slow moving, kind of boring match. But Jericho’s guy was standing tall, with approval from Jericho.

It was an ok show.

WWE NXT on SYFY 3/2/10 Review

Here we go again, another WWE Show, I’m tired.

Darren Young defeated David Otunga

This match was starting to bore me. Black John Cena doesn’t do it for me, I’m sorry. This match was longer than their first meeting and Darren Young won this thing. He had some decent offense, but nothing good overall.

CM Punk helped Young win, which was rad. I liked that. Punk doesn’t like Young yet he helped out…or did he?

Post match, Otunga pushed R Truth and it looked like he was upset. I didn’t like the match at all. I thought it was forced and slow.

Backstage The Miz and Daniel Bryan were talking. The Miz was demanding respect. Wade Barrett will wrestle Daniel Bryan next.

Otunga got in a fight with R Truth backstage, but R Truth was getting pwned! I liked that segment.

Wade Barrett defeated Daniel Bryan

Bryan was impressive here, but slipped on the top rope and got beat up by Barrett. Barrett rolled through bryan

Post match Jericho hit Bryan with the Walls of Jericho.

Bryan is getting hazed like crazy, most likely for his extensive experience. They are really putting him through the ringer. I truly believe they are doing this cause he can handle it.

Matt Hardy & Justin Gabriel defeated Skip Sheffield & William Regal

Skip Sheffield is just odd, he’s kind of entertaining, but he needs different tights and a more controlled gimmick, ala Stone Cold. Regal really hit Gabriel hard, and this match wasn’t half bad. Regal was definitely in there looking the best of the four in my book. Matt Hardy is still fat, but he did alright for himself too. Gabriel hit a huge high flying move and won this match up for his team. Not a half bad move, to say the least.

This night’s NXT had some good stuff, nothing too crazy, but enough to check out some good wrestling. Gabriels 450 was better than Juvi’s.
