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

The Best Part of Raw - SOURCE wwe dot com 

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

The Balor Club confronted The New Shield

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

Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

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

Matt Hardy defeated Curt Hawkins

Hawkins loses again. Nothing to write home about here.

Cedric Alexander defeated Enzo Amore via Countout

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

Titus Worldwide defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

This was not shown on HULU

Braun Strowman Attacked Lesnar and Kane

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

Samoa Joe defeated Rhyno

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

Nia Jax attacked Asuka

It is what it is, not a match.

The Balor Club defeated The New Shield

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

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

WWE 205 Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review Itami Sucks

Hideo Itami vs. Colin Delaney - SRC WWE DOT COM

Here we go, the hour of television that is supposed to be filled with the most action, and yet it’s boring at times, and other times it’s not even worth turning on. Well what about this night? Was this weeks’ 205 Live worth it? Let’s find out.

WWE 205 Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review

The first thing that you should know is that there were only 3 matches on this show, and little to no story line progression. There was a little, but if you missed it, you didn’t miss a whole lot.

Gran Metalik and Kalisto defeated The Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher via disqualification

They have turned Jack Gallagher into a nobody, and The Brian Kendrick into another moron. This match wasn’t half bad because Metalik and Kalisto are great at what they do, but the other guys kept grounding them, and trying to focus on mat wrestling. I guess that’s what the cruisewerights are known for, right? They are known for their ground, mat wrestling? These aren’t all Dean Malenko, folks. The end of the match came with a DQ and the bad guys tried to break Metalik’s leg with the metal stair case and that’s really it. Not a great match, but hey, it was something while it lasted.

Hideo Itami defeated Colin Delaney

Alright, Colin Delaney gets another paycheck. I’ll applaud that any day. However, this match was horrendous. Hideo Itami kept asking for the crowd to respect him, and I just wanted to boo him more. He did the Go To Sleep and then went to social media and asked for respect of his move, and not Punk. Whatever, the guy is bland and he sucks, beating up a jobber on 205 live is not a way to introduce this guy, I’m sorry. Yes, I know who Kenta is, and yes, he’s got more charisma as Kenta than he does as this new guy for WWE. (they are the same person)

Cedric Alexander defeated Drew Gulak

Well, this was a hard hitting match, but Gulak wasn’t to win. He got distracted by getting on the top rope and then was thrown off. That’s it. The end of the match, and nothing major to see here. If you missed this, it wasn’t anything that good. Gulak is good in ring, but he is being throw into a tired feud with Alexander, and I already miss Rich Swann.

Overall, 205 Live was not a great show. It was ok at best, and while the WWE is trying here, they are going to end up eliminating this show, I can feel it. I don’t think anyone cares that much, and honestly, the same few guys every week makes this as bad as Ras and Smackdown. The Cruiserweight Classic was great because it had a lot of different characters and wrestlers, this doesn’t. This has the same old BS that other WWE programming has, and it’s starting to wear thin.

WWE 205 Live Results and Review December 12, 2017 The Enzo Show Continues

WWE 205 Live Is Tired - SRC WWE Dot Com 

I swear there’s more people in the Cruiserweight Classic than the WWE signed, and that’s obvious. But the shows that 205 Live keeps putting out seem to have a very specific amount of characters and it’s somewhat boring at times. Case in point tonight, another boring show with the same cast, and well, I saw it and I’ll review it.

WWE 205 Live Results and Review December 12, 2017 Results and Review

Cedric Alexander defeated Ariya Daivari

This wasn’t half bad, as I enjoy watching Cedric Alexander work. Ariya Daivari was selling bruised ribs. Drew Gulak was outside the ring with a megaphone telling Daivari what to do, but it wasn’t enough, Alexander would win big.

Kalisto defeated Jack Gallagher

This was a wasted match, Kalisto won but most of the match was Jack Gallagher beating down Kalisto. After he won, The Brian Kendrick showed up to beat up Kalisto but that prompted Gran Metalik to come out and beat up the bad guys. Not a good match at all, but hey maybe we’ll get a tag team match.

Tony Nese defeated Enzo Amore via DQ

This was awful. Just awful. Enzo jib jabbed and then got disqualified when the Zo Train attacked Nese. Then the guys forced Gulak to come in and beat up Nese, and that was that. Nothing big here, just a beat down.

This was a wasted hour of action, simple as that.

WWE TLC 2017 Results and Review The Angle Return

WWE TLC 2017 - SRC WWE DOT COM

This past Sunday WWE had an event known as TLC. It usually features an array of matches with no rules, but not this time, this time you’re going to find that there were a lot of matches that had a lot of rules, and some that just seemed like a joke. Well, if you didn’t watch it or you did watch it and are waiting for me to talk about it, today is your lucky day. I’ve watched too much wrestling in a short span of time.

WWE TLC 2017 Results and Review

Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox

Alicia Fox has been hitting her stride as someone that is crazy, and hits hard in the ring. She busted Sasha Banks wide open on Raw, and in this match the two hit each other hard. I mean a lot harder than most of the divas or the women, rather, and it was nice to see them get physical and not “sexy”. The two put on a show of strength and eventually Banks would get the big win.

Asuka defeated Emma

There is no rhyme or reason for the way that this match went. Asuka won but it took her roughly 20 minutes to get the job done. Emma has been a jobber on Raw but was able to take on Asuka in this match and surprise her. She nearly got a few pinfalls, and that really shocked the crowd. But of course it was Asuka getting her big win and moment on the PPV that really was the story here, and it was a good opener for a hot crowd of 13,000 plus fans.

Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann defeated Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick

This was a high flying, fast paced match, and it really was good to see. The main spot I recall was a Phoenix Splash from the top onto Kendrick, and a lot of diving. I loved it. This was a great cruiserweight match that was a lot of fun to watch and had some great spots overall. The teams work really well together, and the crowd was into the offense, even if no one is watching 205 Live.

Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James

Mickie James carried Alexa Bliss to a great match in my opinion. The two had some miscues at certain times, but overall, this match was a fun romp that had a lot going for it. It had a lot of back and forth, good chemistry at times, and Bliss hitting and missing her moves. James is a veteran and can go fast or slow, and doesn’t look winded at all. I liked this one, and Bliss would get the win with the DDT because I like her and that’s awesome! Or because she’s awesome, I don’t know, I love her.

Enzo Amore defeated Kalisto

Well, you knew this was going to happen, didn’t you? Well Kalisto put on a good lucha match, and you know what? Enzo was good too. That’s right, Enzo was great here and he put on a show of great back and forth action with some great overall moves. His top rope leaping DDT is great to watch, and really is a positive. He would win with a thumb to the eye, and a roll up, but that’s ok.

The Demon Finn Balor defeated Aj Styles

A dream match for the ages, and it was quite good overall. A lot of back and forth, no one got the advantage early on, and the two traded moves like there was no tomorrow. Styles looked tired from his 18 hour flight, but Balor carried him at times, and you know what? Styles is the best in the world at what he does, and it shows. The Demon would get the win with his finisher, and he would come out like Alex Wright on Raw. This was a good overall match, with lots of back and forth, kicks, and some nice shotgun blasts from Finn Balor, who took this first of what may be many matches between the two.

Jason Jordan defeated Elias

Throughout the show you had to endure Elias trying to play his music and Jordan interrupting by throwing salad at him. This was an insult of the eighteen century, and while the match was good, the crowd was dead and Elias would lose again. Why is this guy getting so much heat and losing? He should be winning and getting monster heat, but hey, I don’t write the shows, I just watch them. This was a better match than I thought, and it was worth their time slot before the main event.

Kurt Angle and The Shield defeated Braun Strowman, Kane, Cesaro, Sheamus, and the Miz in a TLC Match

Kurt Angle came out in shield uniform and got a huge reaction. He seemed so happy to just be there, and it showed. When you watch this match, you could tell that the teams were treating Kurt with kid gloves. They were protecting him throughout all of the offense, and the younger men were taking on a bulk of the responsibility. At one point Kurt gets powerslammed through a table and is carted away. Then the Shield has to try and fight off 5 men. This was exactly like Hogan and Savage versus the Dungeon of Doom and the Four Horseman in a steel cage at Superbrawl. I loved the cheese factor, but the match was very long and kind of convoluted at times. There was a spot where Braun Strowman was throwing into a dumpster! That’s right, a dumpster and carted away. Angle would return with his music and then he would take out 4 guys, before he would eventually get the better of The Miz and win big.

Overall, TLC 2017 was an entertaining show and was made a lot better by Aj Styles and Kurt Angle. I didn’t miss Roman Reigns at all, even though his music played at the end, and that was that. This may have been the most fun that I’ve had watching WWE in a long time, and it was definitely worth checking out again. I just wish my stream wasn’t lagging and skipping, which is a constant issue I’m seeing with the WWE network on the iPhone.

WWE 205 Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review The Enzo Show Continues

Gallagher Took A Beating - SRC WWE DOT COM

The last time I checked into 205 Live, the show wasn’t that fun to watch, and admittedly, it’s not that great, but there are a few notes to consider. I have found myself fully enjoying the show, at least this week, even though the crowd was quiet. Here is my take on it, as I saw the full show this week, thanks to the network.

WWE 205 Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review

The show opened up with Enzo Amore running down the roster, and again going all heel. I like him as a heel here, and I still think he’s way over. A good talker will always be over in the WWE versus pure work rate, guaranteed.

Kalisto defeated Ariya Daivari

Wow, these guys put on a great match. Daivari has greatly improved since the last I saw him, and he throws down an amazing set of offensive moves. I loved how he dove off the top with a giant splash, getting some insane air, and Kalisto fits in well with these guys. He’s so good, when he’s not cutting bad promos and getting mad at himself. Kalisto won with his finisher, and Daivari just didn’t get the win, but what a good match overall.

Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak

Gulak’s mic skills are great, and he was fighting to stop certain things on 205 Live as well as running down Tozawa. Mustafa Ali is amazing, and in this match he was completely great against Gulak, as the two work well together. There was a yin and yang to this match that you have to see to really enjoy, as it was a great transitional back and forth. Ali would eventually get the win, but not with Gulak throwing down some great offense.

Jack Gallagher defeated Cedric Alexander via DQ

This was an interesting match as Gallagher is now heel and he was wearing full clothing. He wasn’t in his trunks. Alexander beat the snot out of him, and got himself disqualified as a result. This was a nice hard hitting match, but it needed a stipulation, oh well.

That’s it, that’s the best wrestling show that WWE is throwing out right now, guaranteed. I loved it. Maybe you loved it too.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 2, 2017 Results and Review The Enzo Ending Again

The Shield Sucked - SRC WWE DOT COM

WWE Monday Night Raw once again proved to be a show that you could miss. I for sure didn’t watch to watch it, and was slapping myself like I was Dean Ambrose to try and wake up because this thing was not that fun to watch. It felt like it was 4 hours long to be honest.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 2, 2017 Results and Review HULU EDITION

As you already know, I watch the HULU edition of the show and I wanted to bang my head against the wall because it was that bad. Don’t believe me? Let’s discuss it.

Brawn Strowman defeated Seth Rollins

Strowman won clean. This was a hard fought battle for Rollins, but he didn’t win this one, and Strowman won 100% clean. He’s now buried the tag champs. Why are they making him out to be so hardcore, if it only took one F5 to bury him at the last PPV against Lesnar? He wins, but this was a fun match to watch, and Rollins is very quick, I’m impressed.

Elias defeated Titus O’Neil

This was not on HULU.

Mickie James defeated Nia Jax via Disqualification

This was not half bad, James was able to put the boots to Jax, but Jax seemed to be poised to win. That is until Alexa Bliss jumped in and saved her. I love Alexa Bliss, and she’s just awesome here, and is the most over women’s wrestler in the WWE, at least on Raw. This was an ok match, but I don’t like that they are redoing the PIGGY JAMES thing only that James is older. Sigh.

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Dana Warrior presented Belts to Breast Cancer Patients

This was shown on HULU, and I am not going to say something bad about it.

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz via Diqualification

Roman Reigns got an intercontinental title match and wasn’t able to pull a win. Before the match, he beat the holy hell out of the Miztourage. He got a chair and went to town on both guys, leaving The Miz alone in the ring, but that wasn’t enough, because they would come back and beat the guy down.

Bray Wyatt addressed Finn Balor

Another Wyatt Promo? Ugh.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Emma and Alicia Fox

I miss when Noam Dar would say Alicia Fox’s name. This match wasn’t shown on HULU, at least I don’t think it was, I fell asleep at one point.

Kalisto Came Out To Fight Enzo Amore

Since Enzo cut another ending promo, Kalisto came out and will challenge him to fight for the title. Sigh.

Oh and the ending had the Shield members kind of reunite.

What a lousy week of programming from the WWE. These guys are the number one company? They put out less and less wrestling, and more and more filler. This was a horrible night of wrestling, and I can’t wait to not have to watch anything like this, because they truly don’t know how to put on a wrestling show any longer. So many holes, so many boredom movements. Sigh. I’m done with Raw for now. You can’t possibly have liked this terrible showing.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 25, 2017 Results and Review The Enzo Amore Show

Enzo Gets A Beating - SRC WWE DOT COM

Just when you thought I went to sleep instead of watching Monday Night Raw, I’m back with another review. This time around we’re going to be looking back at the September 25, 2017 show that had the Bullet Club invading the WWE. Actually, they just stood outside and tried to get attention. This wasn’t nearly as big as what the WWE did to WCW, and comparisons to that are stupid, because ROH and other companies aren’t nearly as big as WWE or WCW for that matter.

The show was live from Ontario, California, just a stones throw away from what I used to live, and it was heated. The venue isn’t that big, so there were probably no empty seats. The show kicked off nicely, and put things into high gear, at least for the HULU version, which is what I’m going to be discussing here.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 25, 2017 Results and Review

Roman Reigns and The Miz started off the show with The Miz getting the better of Roman on the mic, and the crowd firmly behind Miz and his cronies. The MIz at one point decided to just leave after berating Roman, but Kurt Angle came out and set up a couple of matches that features the trio, and that’s the crux of the show.

Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan defeated The MIztourage

The Miztourage are nothing but jobbers. I guess there are worse ways to make a living, but they lost handedly by Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan. This was a fast paced match, and it got the crowd going wild, which is always a great thing. I had a little fun watching this, and you probably enjoyed this one too. It’s a good match, although I’m tired of seeing the Miztourage getting pummeled each week. At least the Flock and the Nest had wins when they were with Raven. These guys aren’t even getting a second look.

Elias defeated Apollo Crews

This was not shown on HULU.

Braun Strowman attacked Curt Hawkins

This was just awful. This was absolutely just bad. Hawkins gets beat up, and still buried. I guess there’s worse ways to make a living, right?

Braun Strowman defeated Dean Ambrose

This match was what you’d expect, Strowman plowed through Ambrose. Ambrose had a little offense, but not nearly as much as you’d expect, and Strowman wins again. Next week he will face off against Seth Rollins and win again. However, I don’t find him to be a formidable opponent for anyone because Lesnar beat him clean in the middle of the ring at the PPV.

Mickie James came out to fight Alexa Bliss

Mickie James didn’t get much of a crowd reaction when she confronted Alexa Bliss. I guess this is the next feud? Ok. James is on her way out, I can sense it. Bliss is great here, and I like her.

Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus

Sheamus had most of the offense in this match, and it wasn’t that bad. Rollins is boring to me, and very predictable, as is Ambrose. Sheamus got cocky at one point and lost when Rollins was able to take advantage of several mistakes that Sheamus had. Not a terrible match, but far from the best.

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz

This was not much of a match, Roman Reigns beat down MIz and won relatively well. Even with the Miztourage helping out, Reigns wasn’t going down, and the Miz lost clean. After the match the trio beat the holy crap out of Reigns with a chair, and the other guys from the shield did not show up. So screw them. I still hate Reigns.

Finn Balor defeated Goldust

This was not shown on HULU

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax and Emma

This was not shown on HULU

The Cruiserweight Division gave Enzo Amore a Beat Down

Enzo Amore came out and cut a scathing promo, but the 205 Live crew came out and confronted him. Neville talked a great deal then beat the tar out of Amore, and then the rest of the crew came down and beat him up. Then Braun Strowman came out and beat him up too. Either way, Amore is getting beat down and taking a lot of heat. I’ll definitely be tuning in to 205 Live to see how this works itself out. However, the idea of an outcast as champion, and the whole crew beating him up is not my favorite of stories. I want him to overcome.

So there you have it, Raw was ok at best. I didn’t really see any furtherment of story lines, and according to the Tuna Metlzer, the WWE doesn’t care about the stories because they are making money hand over fist regardless of what they do. That is showing with this lack luster show that was very long, even on HULU. Not a great night of wrestling, if you can call it that anymore.

Monday Night Raw August 21, 2017 Results and Review The Shortest HULU Version Ever

Superman Punch! - SRC wwe.com 

Monday Night Raw was booked in Brooklyn, New York yet again. The crowd was hot through the night, and they were given a lot of elements. This is a great night of wrestling, for those in attendance. But the HULU edition was cut very short, with a lot of talking, and very little wrestling. I’m not sure why, but hey, here I am to talk about the HULU edition of Monday Night Raw.

Monday Night Raw August 21, 2017 Results and Review

Braun Strowman interrupted the Brock Lesnar Speech, and that’s about it.

Enzo Amore defeated Big Cass in a Brooklyn Street Fight

Enzo and Cass didn’t get much time, as this wasn’t on Hulu. I saw it on Youtube, and this was interesting. Cass took a nasty dive to the outside and collapsed midway through the match. I’m guessing a torn ACL and MCL. I tore my ACL and collapsed as well in high school, so I can say this was at least a hyper-extension.

Nia Jax defeated Emma

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Elias defeated R. Truth

This wasn’t shown on HULU

The Miz and Samoa Joe confronted John Cena and Roman Reigns

This was a long boring talking segment that was part of the HULU edition, and it just went long.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated The Hardy Boyz

A great overall, fast paced match. It was fun to see these guys work, and while it was hard hitting, with great counters and in-ring psychology, pushing both teams in this one. In the end, Rollins and Ambrose won after stopping the Swanton, and boom.

Alexa Bliss confronted Sasha Banks

Banks just talked on the mic, and Alexa showed up. Meh. They didn’t brawl, and Alexa will get a rematch, just not tonight.

Finn Balor defeated Jason Jordan

Jordan wanted a match with Balor, and he got it. Balor ran right through Jordan, even though he was able to get a little offense. It wasn’t much though, it was bad. Balor’s dropkick wasn’t half bad, and Jordan got a beat down, and lost clean, in the middle of the ring. A good, fun match, but Jordan is just not over.

John Cena and Roman Reigns defeated The Miz and Samoa Joe

This was a fun match, and Reigns with Roman is a good pairing, that will lead them to face off against each other. Joe and MIz worked well enough, but it was obvious that Miz was going to eat a pin. He did, even though Cena was knocked out by Reigns on accident. Reigns and Joe fell to the outside, with a killer sequence that showed Reigns knocking out Joe from the Suicide Dive, and man, good stuff. Miz loses, here, even with his Miztourage on the outside trying to help.

There you have it, Monday Night Raw went down the hatch with minimal problems. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it, and the HULU version was very condensed. I liked that, but I didn’t think that the show was worth 3 hours of time. Overall, not a bad night of wrestling, some fun spots, and good things. Hopefully this brings about some more wrestling next week in Memphis. Oh, and I did forget to type the 205 Live match, but I didn't care, and you didn't either.

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

Bork Lazer Vs. The World - SRC WWE.COM

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

WWE Monday Night Raw August 14, 2017 Results and Review

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

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

Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax

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

Elias attacked R-Truth

This was not on HULU.

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

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

Bray Wyatt defeated Finn Balor

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

Akira Tozawa defeated Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

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

Jason Jordan defeated The Miz via DQ

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

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

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

Bork Lazer fought off a few dudes.

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

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

WWE Monday Night Raw June 26, 2017 Results and Review The Return of The Boss

The Legit Boss Returned - WWE.com SRC

Monday Night Raw was live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. That’s a building I know all too well. I saw Unforgiven twice there, and I saw Wrestlemania there, as well as seeing a live WWE Smackdown from the fourth row no less. I even had Scotty Too Hotty jump into the crowd where I was at. Overall, I’ve been fortunate to see a lot of action in the arena, but nothing quite like what happened on Raw. In fact, I’ve never been to a WWE Monday Night Raw taping, so there’s that. Whatever the case is, on January 26, the Raw brand was in Los Angeles for one hell of a show, and I saw the HULU version, so that’s what I will talk about going forward.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 26, 2017 Review

Roman Reigns Opens Show, Gets Thrown Into Ambulance

The show opened up with Roman Reigns getting booed out of the building. I know they weren’t saying BOO URNS, but if I were there, I probably would have been. An ambulance showed up and out came Brown Shoeman. He attacked Reigns then chucked him off the stage into the ambulance like a lawn dart, or like Rey Mysterio circa WCW 1996. Reigns was then thrown into the ambulance and that was that. Good opener, although, I don’t like Brown Shoeman or Roman “Boring” Reigns.

Fin Balor and the Hardy Boyz defeated Elias Samson, Cesaro, and Sheamus

This was a fun match, but it started with Elias Samson about to sing a song. He was interrupted, and the match was on. A standard six man tag, with Balor getting the big pinfall, but not without the other guys throwing down some great tag team moves, and out of the ring action. A fast paced opener that I loved, but probably didn’t get too much love from anyone else.

Miz TV With The Ball Family

Apparently there was a match after this segment, but the HULU version did not show that. Instead it was just Miz TV with the Ball family, and I thought it was hilarious. It was definitely entertaining, if you knew who the Ball family is. If you didn’t, well then you didn’t like this, because you didn’t know who the hell they were.

Big Cass Hugged Enzo, Then Threw Him Down The Stage

Big Cass did a nice job selling the reunion, only to then get Enzo beat up and literally tossed down the ramp. Enzo rolled to his death, and Cass was left standing tall. A few moments later he confronted Corey Graves and said that he would ring his neck if he could, but he couldn’t, and therefore he was going to warn him and that’s it. Enzo’s done folks, Cass is the guy the WWE is going with.

Seth Rollins defeated Curt Hawkins

Not a complete burial, but Hawkins was not going to win this one. I’m a fan of Hawkins, but he’s wasted here, getting buried by Rollins.

Samoa Joe Nearly Kills Brock Lesnar (not a joke)

Samoa Joe is made to look like a total beast as he put on his finisher on Lesnar. Lesnar was turning purple and couldn’t get out of the chokehold. I’m not sure if Joe could take out Lesnar in a real UFC fight, but the WWE is doing a good job of making me believe that he has a shot at winning the title at the ppv. I don’t know if he will, but if he does, wow, congrats to WWE for making one hell of a main event on a badly named PPV.

Sasha Banks won a women’s Guantlet Match to get a title shot at Alexa Bliss

Holy crap, the booking is off the rails for the women. Last week, they barely got attention, this week, they get the main event! I loved it! I loved the story the women told here. Nia Jax took on the whole roster and won. She beat Bayley first of all, which was great for me. Then she beat every woman on the Raw roster, except the champion, and when Banks came out, put on a strong showing, but obviously winded and tired, which is why Banks got the big win with the Bank Statement! I loved it, Jax taps out, and that’s the end of the show folks.

Raw was good on HULU. I didn’t see the 3 hour show, and it looks like a lot more happened. I do not know why the WWE decides to cut out so much on HULU’s Raw show, versus the rest of their shows, but they do. This was a good, entertaining showcase if you ask me.

Charlotte Before She Sobbed From The Pain, I'd Cry Too 

Live from Charlotte, North Carolina, Monday Night Raw hit a high note at times, but not without some seriously bad things. There were a lot of things happening, and while I liked a good chunk, this show was not without a few notes of anger and stupidity. I mean, come on, Cesaro and Shamus are the new APA? Yeah right. Whatever. Here are my thoughts on last night’s Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 28, 2016 Review

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns crashed “The Highlight Reel” with Kevin Owens

The Highlight Reel was dumb. They opened up with another point of a break up between Owens and Jericho. Reigns and Owens got mad at each other, Jericho got mad at each other, and this will no doubt set up Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.

Braun Strowman def. R-Truth

Stupid match. I don’t care about Brown Shoeman. Whatever. Sami Zayn showed up and got a beat down, Foley came out, blah, blah, blah. It was dumb. R-Truth got buried, then Goldust got buried.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Tony Nese def. Cedric Alexander

The best part of this element was Nese getting a win over Alexander. But let’s consider that the WWE does this often. They make challengers and champions look weak before a title match. That’s what happened here. Alexander loses, Nese wins with interference, and the best part of this was Kendrick on the color commentary.

Seth Rollins attacked Chris Jericho in the parking lot

Yep. Rollins beat up Jericho. I didn’t care, you didn’t care, Rollins sucks.

Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks ended in a Double Count-out

This was smart. I liked how this started, and ended. I think that this should’ve led to a PPV match rather than Foley setting up another match later on. This would not end well for Charlotte, so SPOILER alert.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Enzo Amore def. Rusev via Disqualification

Boredom movements happen a lot on Raw. This was boring. Good mic skills from Enzo and Cass, bad match rating, and a waste.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Rich Swann def. Noam Dar

It comes to my attention that I mixed up Swann and Alexander, and I’m an idiot because Kendrick was on here not the other. Oh well. This match was ok, and I’m an idiot. I apologize for my lack of enthusiasm for the cruiserweights.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens to become No. 1 contender to the WWE Universal Championship

Did the WWE telegraph this one or what? Did you really think that Owens was going to win? I didn’t. Reigns stayed strong, and that was that. He took a beating, and the commentary team basically jerked off until they blew their loads for the finish. Michael Cole especially was spent with his commentary at the end, yelling about how Roman Reigns has put in a great performance and win. Yeah, yeah, Reigns wins, Superman Reigns.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Paul Heyman declared Brock Lesnar for the Royal Rumble Match

So Brock Lesnar is in the Rumble and he’s going to cost Goldberg the match.

OR!!!!!

Picture this. Lesnar, Goldberg, Ambrose, Reigns, Jericho, and Rollins are left in the final stages of the Rumble. They all start battling it out, and things get hectic, with refs getting distracted with Goldberg and Lesnar. Lesnar and Goldberg fighting on the outside, and the last 4 left will be Ambrose, Reigns, Jericho, and Rollins, with the final winner being one of those guys. Let’s just say it’s Jericho. This can’t stand, so they put an Elimination Chamber crossover match in which we see a final winner for the title. The chamber will include Lesnar and Goldberg, and that will give Goldberg the title.

Would Probably Have A Better Chance Against The New Day

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

Here we go, the main event. The main event was a great showcase of these two women’s strengths. I loved the Hell in the Cell match. I also loved their other matches, but this one once again showed that these two are great together. However, I wish there were more women getting title shots and mixing it up. Flair took a beating, no doubt. She took on such a beating, and Banks went through with getting shots to the dome too. That giant forehead of hers got hit a lot, but so did Charlotte’s mole. The ending came with a Bank Statement through a guard rail, which was great. I wish the tap out didn’t come so quickly, but it did. Ric Flair came out and raised Sasha's hand. I loved this match, great showing.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 14, 2016 Results and Review Wreddit Absolutely Sucks

You Gotta Let Roman Look Strong, Always

Here we go, I’m back again on schedule and I’m absolutely mad. I was basically banned from Reddit, and I finally gave up on my second account. Right when I was starting to make traction as a member of the internet wrestling community, I received a lot of negative comments because I didn’t like Braun Strowman. I call him Brown Shoeman, and well, you just can’t make fun of someone anymore.

I also got railroaded because I said that Joey Styles and Dave Chapelle did the same thing. They both made jokes about Trumps commentary, and one was fired, the other was praised. I was told I was an idiot, and that I don’t listen and that I’m stupid. I just want to also say that I know what “they let you means”. No one mentions that. Trump said, “they let you”, but oh no, oh no, he’s deplorable. Ok, I’m the idiot. I don’t give a crap. I’m not a part of the internet wrestling community, I’m a professional blogger, and that’s where I stay, here on this site and what not. Wreddit can go to hell, and if you’re a fan of that forum, you are going on THE LIST!

WWE Raw Review November 14, 2016

I’ve been able to watch the full edition of Raw because I have been watching things on Youtube instead of cable or Hulu. I like the condensed, no commercial version of the show. People keep saying that this is a 3 hour show, but it’s not. Today, I saw the full show at around 1 hour 57 minutes, which means that you suckers out there watching it live, are watching 1 hour of commercials, not me. Here we go, a rundown of what happened, and my thoughts, which are not good enough for the internet wrestling community.

WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens & U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Cesaro & Sheamus

This match was not half bad. I liked the pace and the wrestling overall. However, I will say that I did not like the logic. Why would Kevin Owens be friendly with Roman Reigns? Stephanie is not really going to fire him, and why should he care about this? They had a few moments of strife in the match, but it was Roman that looked strong here and throughout the night. Owens got knocked out, and Reigns dragged him to the cover and he got the pinfall win. But let’s be clear, Roman Reigns never looked weak on this show, because WWE still wants to shove him down our throats.

Remember this much guys. There was a time when the champion and others that were bad guys didn’t get along with the good guys. I want to cite Ric Flair and Randy Savage at Slamboree 1996. As soon as Flair got tagged in to an uproarious crowd, he punched Savage and left him for dead. The same happened to Sting. Reigns should’ve been beat down by Owens and Jericho, because they don’t like him, and they are heels! What the hell is with this damn logic? Cesaro and Sheamus work well enough together, but another loss? Ok, sure.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Sami Zayn def. Bo Dallas

For a moment, I thought that the WWE would do the right thing and bring up Bo Dallas to more than jobber status. Nope. Sami Zayn won a simple match. It was fast paced, but let’s not kid anyone, this was another burial for Bo Dallas. Zayn blew him up, and that was that. Zayn will take on Ziggler, in a face versus face match, unless The Miz gets the title on Smackdown.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho & Brown Shoeman def. Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day

Once again, logic. Why would Jericho get along with Rollins and Shoeman? Why would Seth Rollins, the guy that said he wanted to burn Raw to the ground be good with the other two? Why would Brown Shoeman work together with these guys as well? Seriously, why? This makes no sense, but hey, they ended up working together and got the pinfall on the tag team champions. The New Day take a lot of pins, and it makes no sense, but hey, that’s WWE for you.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

WWE Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick def. Sin Cara

The cruiserweights should move to Smackdown, because this is a stupid showcase. This is a boring, boring division and it showed here. Sin Cara got buried, let’s be honest. Since he fought Jericho on a bus, and Kendrick gets a little bit of applause, this went on. It was boring, and it sucked, no one cared.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Goldberg and Brock Lesnar faced off

This made no sense. Nothing really happened here. The match this weekend will be interesting, but it’s going to be another burial of Goldberg.

So here you go, if you're going to buy WWE crap, you can do so by clicking here and helping this blog start a podcast. If not, oh well.

Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair & Sasha Banks def. Nia Jax & Alicia Fox

This was ok, but again, why would Banks wrestle with Charlotte if she hates her? Seriously. Why? She should not tag in. Charlotte should attack Banks or just leave her to get beat. Nope. This doesn’t make sense. Don Tony and Kevin Castle on their podcast also commented on how weird this match felt, and the rest of the night as well. I’m with their opinion, this was awkward as hell.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson def. The Golden Truth & The Shining Stars

Logic once again. Why? Why would the Club Sandwhich boys fight here? Why would they not just walk away? They should walk away and let Enzo and Cass handle this. The Golden Truth and The Shining Stars took another loss, because they are jobbers!

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Team SmackDown LIVE confronted Team Raw

This is where logic all fell out for me. Why are they working together? Seriously. I am a long time fan of The Survivor Series and the WCW Lethal Lotteries. When you put bad guys and good guys on the same team, they do not act friendly, they do not participate, they are bad. The bad guys are the wild card, they may or may not fight, they just may not. That’s the wild card. Not here. Here, there are no faces, there are no heels, there is no good guy and no bad guy. Oh well.

No One Messes With Roman Reigns

Raw overall was a bad show. There wasn’t a lot to it in my opinion. Leading up to Survivor Series, there’s no wild cards, there’s no question marks, there’s just this rivalry that looks a lot like the Brand Split series that they would do in the past. I guarantee that this is going to be a fun show, but it’s illogical, it’s absolutely going to give Smackdown another push since they are the B show.

The end of the show was an ode to Roman Reigns. If you watched the show, consider the fact that Reigns was the one that looked strongest. He hit super man punches, and all sorts of things, and aligned with Rollins (which doesn’t make sense), and is left looking strong. Reigns getting the push is odd, but hey, why not? At some point they have to turn him heel, they have to. I just don’t get it. Raw sucked. Roman Reigns looked better than Owens, expect him to win the title within the next few months.

So here you go, if you're going to buy WWE crap, you can do so by clicking here and helping this blog start a podcast. If not, oh well.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review October 31, 2016

Since I watched the whole show, let’s discuss things in brief, since I’m not going to go longwinded on something that was so awful.

Paul Heyman and Rusev confronted Goldberg

Rusev sucks. I said it. Ok, he doesn’t, but he certainly should’ve been selling his injuries from Hell in A Cell, right? He wasn’t. Instead he got in Goldberg’s face, and got a jackhammer for his troubles. Then Heyman got a spear for jacking his jaw, and that was that. Golbderg is ok, I guess. I miss the WCW version circa 1997 – 1999, even if he did knock out Hart.

Enzo Amore def. Luke Gallows in a Trick or Street Fight

I loved this match. I love these matches, and it was a lot of fun to watch. Even though a lot of podcasts buried this, I didn’t. I thought it was fun, and I love how Gallows and Anderson worked in this one. Enzo and Cass were fun too, but this match was just a ball to see. I loved it, even if it wasn’t the most technical.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

TJ Perkins def. WWE Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick via Count-out

Brian Kendrick is the smartest champion I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always said that the heel champions should not want to fight fair, and figure out a way to keep the title on their waists, even if it means looking cowardly. This was just smart. Perkins got outsmarted, simple as that.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Braun Strowman won a Battle Royal to qualify for the 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Men’s Elimination Match

Snow man wins. I don’t care for it.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander & Lince Dorado def. Tony Nese, Drew Gulak & Ariya Daivari

The after thought of the show is really turning into another Divas type showcase. These guys are good, but I feel like we already saw this at the PPV.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Nia Jax def. Bayley

Bayley sucks on Raw. Simple as that. She’s not nearly on the level of Charlotte or Sasha Banks. Nia Jax finished her fast, and that was that. Nia Jax versus Charlotte makes sense to me.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Cesaro & Sheamus def. The Shining Stars

I was yawning throughout this.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho via Disqualification

I was rooting for Jericho. Reigns sucks, and he was set to win this until Owens interfered and cost him the match. Rollins came out for the save, but why? Why would Seth Rollins care of Reigns is getting beat up? It makes no sense. This will no doubt lead to a tag match, I’m sure.

Raw sucked yet again. It’s a boring affair, and don’t think Smackdown was any better, it wasn’t. This was just awful, with a few sprinkles of fun.

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.

WWE Raw Review August 1, 2016

Since rebooting this blog, I don’t want to go with the traditional. I will discuss things that caught my attention, rather than go one by one. I can truly say that 3 hours makes for a long night. I didn’t like how long this was.

Slut Shaming Versus Piggy James

Enzo and Sasha banks on the mic were fun. They were hitting on each other, and Chris Jericho’s mic skills are trumped up for this. The mixed tag match that formed between Charlotte and Jericho versus Enzo and Sasha was fun. However, I found it interesting that the WWE would script “One Night Stand” “Slut Shaming” into the WWE PG era. What was worse? Piggy James or Slut Shaming? That’s what’s up, how you doing?

Flair Was Right About Balor

A lot of filler content sucked. Then we ran into Rollins and Balor on the mike. I’m going to tell you, Balor’s accent bugs me. I am an immigrant and worked really hard to lose my Latino accent, and I believe that if you want to get into the entertainment industry, people need to be able to understand you. But you know what? Who cares. Balor seemed timid on the mic, and nervous. Rollins sucked on the mic, he’s whiny as ever. The fight at the end was cool, Balor isn’t backing down.

Match of The Night: Seth Rollins burying Sami Zayn

Does Sami Zayn win anymore? This was a burial for me. Zayn should’ve won this and made Balor look strong. If Zayn can beat Rollins, Balor has a major shot. Other than the finish, Zayn and Rollins put on a good deal of wrestling together. They work well, and there was no major botch to get scared about.

Like I said, there’s a lot of filler. Randy Orton coming out of nowhere to hit the RKO on Lesnar was cool, I loved that, but was it worth spending 3 hours of my night? No.

Star Rating For WWE Monday Night Raw August 1, 2016

I’m going to give this a 3 out of 5. There’s a LOT of problems with this show for me. There was a few good moments, but lots of filler. Heath Slater, Mark Henry, and so much more is just bad. I had some fun, but not enough to justify such a long investment. I’m going to be going back to HULU next week.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/18/2016 Results and Review The Bullet Club Destroys Reigns

Here we go again, Raw live from London, and again we have a Raw that features a mixed bag. This time yet again, Shane McMahon is in charge, making that Hell in A Cell match from Wrestlemania, pointless. Whatever the case is, this is a review of the HULU edition of WWE Monday Night Raw from 4/18/2016, and here are my thoughts, and what not. Images sourced from wwe.com

WWE Monday Night Raw Review

The Ambrose Asylum opened the show, and Shane McMahon came out…sigh. Kevin Owens came out and talked Sami Zayn. Zayn came out and the two verbally sparred. Then Jericho came out, and everyone was crashing the Ambrose Asylum! This ended in a brawl, and Shane setting up a couple of matches for Payback.

People on the internet already say that the show is predictable. Oh well. This was a nice opening, but I’m tired of talking for openings on Monday Night Raw. I’d prefer things to be a bit different, perhaps even wrestling related, instead of the South Park style talking B.S. openings.

Chris Jericho defeated Sami Zayn

I smell a burial! This match was competitive for sure, but I can’t help but thinking that Zayn losing clean to Jericho is just showing that the WWE doesn’t really want the smaller guys coming up getting one over on veterans. I don’t know. I like Jericho enough, but he seems to be killing the momentum of the up and comers.

The Bullet Club interrupted an Aj Styles interview, and they all seemed friendly.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass defeated The Dudley Boyz

Here we go, the newcomers actually win! They are going to the finals. The Dudley’s focused on Enzo most of the match, but it was Big Cass’s hot tag that really shifted things. Enzo got a beat down, but in the end, a second wind would help the team recover and get the victory, making for a good, fast paced match.

Roman Reigns came out, and there were massive Boos. Aj Styles came out and verbally sparred with Roman Reigns. It wasn’t half bad. The Bullet Club came out and decimated Reigns, which was great. Aj said he had nothing to do with it.

The Women's 8 Man Tag Match

This was a slow moving, boring match, in which the crowd was dead. This wasn’t great, it just was the same old formula you would get from the “divas” division. I was bored, you know you were bored, and well, this wasn’t their best effort. I don’t even want to list all the participants.

The Vaudevillains defeated The Usos

I believe I called this one. The Vaudevillains defeated the Usos in a somewhat short, and well, ok overall match up. This was a beat down. The finals will be an NXT type main event, so that’s interesting.

Dean Ambrose defeated Kevin Owens

Not a bad match, don’t get me wrong. But the crowd didn’t seem into it, the match didn’t have a lot of psychology, and well, I was just not impressed with the same old same old from these two. Not only that, Ambrose wins to look strong against Jericho, at the expense of Kevin Owens? It seems like only the WWE talent that has been in their development system for a while gets the wins. This bored me, even when Jericho interfered after the match, I didn’t care anymore, same old BS show on Raw.
