The Miz Surprises Daniel Bryan - Source WWE

The B show simply feels like a B show to me. This night proves it yet again.

WWE Smackdown July 25, 2018 Results and Review

Randy Orton showed up. I didn't care. He talked about how the people don't respect him, and he questioned everyone, he was just going through the same Hideo Itami type of thing. He stopped short of saying, "respect me". It was stupid. I don't care about this guy.

We then got a recap of what happened on Raw, which featured Stephanie McMahon saying she invented women's wrestling, etc. On a wrestling show, the first 20 some odd moments were NOT wrestling. How cool is that? It's not.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Rusev

The tables turned on Rusev when Aiden English ran in to the match to try and stop Zelina and Lana fighting, but it caused issues. Rusev got distracted, then lost big time. Rusev and Almas put on a good match, although it was somewhat short, but Almas would get the big win, and that's that. A distraction on the outside was the big deal here. Aiden English and Rusev are headed to splitsville, I'm sure.

Samoa Joe defeated R Truth

Yeah, I typed that. It happened. I will say this much, R Truth is the most athletic guy ever! He's awesome, and was able to catch off Samoa Joe until of course things took a turn, and Truth was put to sleep after a couple of moves. Oh well, short match, but Truth is awesome.

Asuka defeated Billie Kay

I was reviewing a porno movie the other day and Billie Kay looked a lot like a porno actress. Anyways, Asuka won this match after an initial flurry from the iconic member. It was ok at best. Asuka wins, and well, that's it. A throw away women's match.

Aj Styles Opponent Announcement

Paige was going to announce the next opponent, but before she couuld, James Ellsworth came out and wanted a title shot, since he has beaten Aj Styles 3 times! James Ellsworth was fired! Yeah, this was entertaining, but it wasn't the opponent we thought about. Samoa Joe will be the next gu, and he beat up Styles. He won't win, but he signed his name.

Becky Lynch defeated Carmella

This was another women's match that wasn't too long, and it ended with the ending you would expect. Becky Lynch would win with her submission, and well, that was that. The end. Not a great match, not a terrible one either, and well, it ended well enough.

The New Day defeated Sanity

Wow, so Sanity is now buried. The New Day rolled through Sanity with seemingly no difficulty. The Usos were on commentary of course, and well that was ok. The Usos jumped the ringside and out came The Bar! I thought the Bar was on Raw? I guess not? Either way, The new Day defeated Sanity, and to me, it's a burial.

Out came The Bar with mics and started to talk random things, and well that was that. I didn't care.

The Miz Premier

Ugh. Just ugh. Daniel Bryan ran out and beat up security and went to the ring. Bryan came into the ring, and Miz threw a baby doll at Bryan then kicked him and hit the Skull Crushing Finale, and that was that. I guess this is the start of the feud. Ok, good, I'm sick of this. Miz is good, but this was the B show. This is the best that WWE has? That's the best wrestling? I can't believe this bs.

WWE Smackdown Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Featuring Hell No

Ellsworth Escapes - SRC WWE dot com

Smackdown Live was in my school's arena, and I wasn't able to go. But hey, there was a good night of wrestling planned, too bad it didn't turn out the way it was advertised, at least not at first. I'll get to all of that.

WWE Smackdown Live July 11, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with MIZTV, and of course it would, why not? The Miz brought out Team Hell No, and the crowd was in an uproar. I'm personally tired of this already, but I guess nostalgia is what it is sometimes. The new Hell No team shirt is stupid. Can't Kane just go be mayor now?

Daniel Bryan wanted to beat up Miz, but Kane stopped him, and then we saw some back and forth about Kane and what not. Then Miz got nearly choked out by Kane, before the Bludgeon Brothers came out and Sanity stormed the ring. They started to beat down Kane and Bryan, and the show began with a brawl featuring all the bad guys against Kane and Daniel Bryan. It was just a beat down until The New Day ran down to make the save.

Shinsuke Nakamura and Aj Styles were ready to battle, but after they made their introductions, out came Rusev and Aiden English.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Aj Styles ended in a no contest

This wasn't that bad of a match at all, and it really just had a lot of back and forth. It was a good option, but things got a bit difficult when Aiden English got involved. Aj Styles hit him hard, then Rusev jumped Aj, and that led Nakamura to team up with the bad guys to beat up AJ. But that's when Jeff hardy ran out and tried to mop things up. Hardy beat up Rusev and Nakamura, and then Paige came out and said that we are going to have a straight up tag match! Just like Teddy Long would create! I kid you not.

Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jeff Hardy and Aj Styles

This was a short match, it was not that great. But it served to get the bad guys a win before the big PPV this weekend. It was a good little match, for what it was, and it had a few back and forth elements. I didn't mind the loss for the good guys, but I doubt that either one is going to win this weekend. Well, maybe Nakamura will get gold, but other than that, I don't know what's going to go on at the PPV. As for this match, it was fine, an ok television match, so there's that.

Asuka defeated James Ellsworth in a Lumberjack Match

Well, this was shorter than I thought, and it ended like I thought it would end. Asuka made Ellsworth tap out, and that was that. Nothing big here. Afterwards Carmella attacked Asuka.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Sin Cara

This was a fast paced, short match. Sin Cara had a few moments, but it was mostly the showcase of Andrade Cien ALmas, and that's it. He won with his finisher and that was the end. Nothing fancy, a big win, and that's it.

Team Hell No and The New Day defeated Sanity and The Bludgeon Brothers

This wasn't a great match, but it worked out like nearly all 10 man tag team matches that I have seen. The good guys were all over the bad guys, and of course the Fan Favorites needed to look strong going into the PPV, so they won. Everyone hit their finishers, Team Hell No and The New Day were getting a lot of praise, and that was that. Nothing major here, just a lot of fast paced finishing moves, and the Yes Chants. A fun, fast paced match, no doubt, but honestly, it just left me with the feeling of, meh.

The B show is all that Smackdown is to me. Almas finally got a match, which was great. No sign of Tye Dillinger, though, and others that were drafted. The women's revolution is back to full circle, beating up a random stooge, and that's that. Oh well.

GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2 Results and Review

Joey Janela's Spring Break 2 (2018) GCW

So here we go, a review of the last event that I want to review for the sake of this site. GCW’s Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2 happened during the weekend of Wrestlemania 34, and it was an interesting thing to see. It was sold out, and had roughly 1500 people there. It had some great lead up, so I wanted to see a great deal of what surrounded the hype to this event. So instead of reviewing Evolve and other options, I went ahead and waited to review this today. Here we go…

GCW Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2 Results and Review

Eli Everfly defeats DJ Z and Gringo Loco and Kyle The Beast and Teddy Hart and Tony Deppen

Not a bad opening six man tag match. There was a lot of back and forth, and some interesting noise made by the audience. I haven’t seen a lot of these guys wrestle, but it was fun to see how this all went through, I enjoyed it. This was a fun little opening, and I liked it no doubt.

Matt Riddle defeats James Ellsworth

I loved this match. It wasn’t long, but James Ellsworth had a little bit of offense on Riddle before Riddle finally gave up on trying to outsmart Ellsworth and just leveled him. Ellsworth got a few shots in, and at one point, I thought for a moment, he was going to win overall. It was an interesting solution. Riddle would win eventually, but Ellsworth put on an entertaining show with him.

PCO defeats WALTER

This was a hell of a match. It was like a brawl at one point, and PCO’s chest was completely black and blue, which was insane. Walter and PCO beat the hell out of each other, with pure respect no doubt, and I liked to see how it all went down. A good match, a good brawl, and wow, what a fascinating turn of event.

Nick Gage defeats Penta El Zero M in the GCW Title Match

Gage got a lot of boos, and people were upset that he got booked. He robbed a bank and served his time, so here he goes. Penta came out to a raucous crowd and threw down some great back and forth with Gage, but in the end Nick Gage would get the win, and the pinfall victory, in a match that wasn’t too long, and should’ve been a victory for Penta if you ask me.

David Starr defeats Mike Quackenbush

I’ve seen David Starr wrestle a handful of times, and I don’t get it. He’s ok at best, and this match wasn’t too bad. Quackenbush seemed good here, and David Starr wasn’t bad here, the two were able to go back and forth and it was fun to see the two develop a good overall match. It was a nice in between what would go down next.

The Invisible Man defeats Aero Boy and Alabama Doink and Bryan Idol and Chris Dickinson and Crazy Boy and Curt Stallion and Dan Severn and Ethan Page and Facade (w/Dani) and Grado and Joe Gacy and Kikutaro and Markus Crane and Martina and Maxwell Jacob Friedman and Mikey Whipwreck and Nate Webb and Orange Cassidy and Rickey Shane Page and Rory Gulak and Swoggle and Wheeler YUTA in the Clusterf*ck Battle Royal

I don’t know what I just saw with this match, but hey, it was entertaining. Is it just me or is Swoggle gaining some weight? The invisible man, I kid you not, won this match. I don’t know what to say about all of this.

Joey Janela (w/Penelope Ford) defeats The Great Sasuke

The main event featured Joey Janela fighting one of the legends of the ring, The Great Sasuke. The two threw down some incredible moments, including an insane ladder spot, and a huge dive with an inflatable alligator at one point. The fight was back and forth, but you could tell that Sasuke was getting tired, and Janela had to carry a few moments of the match, which wasn’t bad, mind you. The eventual winner was none other than Janela, but not without getting the bricks from the Great Sasuke.

Overall, this was a fun show to watch and I don’t have a lot of complaints. I enjoyed it. It’s an indie show, but it was fun to watch, and I enjoyed it for the most part.

WWE Smackdown Live June 27, 2017 Results and Review The Second Women’s Money In The Bank

Ellsworth Got Crotched - SRC wwe.com 

The HULU edition of Smackdown was great, as it was the full show, with no filler. I’m sure there are edits between what was originally broadcasted and the show that was shown on HULU, but I don’t know the difference, really. So let’s get to this better show than usual, albeit not perfect as I have to ask a few questions.

WWE Smackdown Live June 27, 2017 Review

Where was American Alpha?

Where is Tye Dillinger?

Daniel Bryan banned James Ellsworth from the arena

The show opened up with Daniel Bryan announcing the main event, and then getting yelled at by Ellsworth. Ellsworth was subsequently banned from the building so that the fight would be fair during the main event ladder match. The crowd was nuts for this, and that’s a good thing.

The Usos defeated The Hype Bros

Just as this said, The Usos defeated the Hype Bros and that’s the end of that. It was a fast match and the ending came faster than I thought. If you blinked, you missed this one.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi defeated Lana

This was another short match. Lana was quickly defeated, even though she hit Naomi with her finisher. Too bad, Lana just got buried.

Randy Orton caused chaos and called out Jinder Mahal

Orton cut a promo and was given a match with Jinder. However, it was announced that it would be a Punjabi Prison Match….sigh.

Baron Corbin def. Sami Zayn

Not a bad match at all, Corbin put the boots to Zayn, and it looked like he was going to lose this one, but nope, he hit a sick End of Days and put Zayn down. Zayn loses again.

Carmella won the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match to become Ms. Money in the Bank

Lots of action in this match. I loved it. It was a great overall match that had a lot of back and forth, lots of falls, and lots of ladder hits. Ellsworth showed up at the end of the match and tried to get involved again, but Becky Lynch toppled the ladder and he fell onto the top rope, crotch first! Carmella finally got extreme and brought in a chair, beat down Lynch, and climbed up to get the ladder, which was an awesome thing to see. Carmella won this thing outright this time, and that’s the end of the night.

Smackdown was concise, fun to watch, and had a great ending for once. I like Carmella, so there.

WWE Smackdown Live March 7, 2017 Results and Review Burying Everyone

Let's Bury Everyone We Can!!

Later this year, I’m going to be starting a burial report. Why? Because so much talent in the WWE is getting buried right now. It’s insane how much dirt is getting piled onto the so called superstars of the WWE. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at Smackdown, which was live from my home town this week, and I didn’t go.

WWE Smackdown Live March 7, 2017 Results

John Cena and Nikki Bella defeated James Ellsworth and Carmella
Dean Ambrose got beat down by Baron Corbin
Alexa Bliss and Mickie James defeated Becky Lynch and Natalya
Randy Orton defeated Aj Styles
Aj Styles nearly knocks out Shane McMahon

WWE Smackdown Live March 7, 2017 Review

So here we go, the burial of talent begins with Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon talking to the crowd about the main event, etc. Oh well.

John Cena and Nikki Bella defeated James Ellsworth and Carmella

So the WWE completely buried Ellsworth and Carmella. Ellsworth, you would expect not to get any offense in, right? But Carmella didn’t get nearly as much offense as you’d think. John Cena got the tag and then buried Ellsworth, while Carmella got buried by Nikki. The duo of the new Cena team hit the five knuckle shuffle in unison, then did the F5 and what not, and that was that. John Cena curtain jerking.

Dean Ambrose got beat down by Baron Corbin

Dean Ambrose went looking for Baron Corbin and got beat up. A lead pipe and a forklift did the trick. I’m guessing this leads to a street fight.

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James defeated Becky Lynch and Natalya

This match was interesting, in that it completely was a waste of time. Mickie and Alexa won big here. Becky and Natalya worked ok, until Natalya got mad and hit a release german suplex on Lynch. That’s that. It was a sick bump, and that’s it. Wrestlemania will have Alexa Bliss vs. everyone on the female roster that is available. Ok.

Randy Orton defeated Aj Styles

The match of the night folks, Orton and Styles put on a show for the Indianapolis crowd. There was no sleeping in nap town, that’s for sure. Styles played a great deal of wise guy tactics, Orton was getting frustrated, but of course he’d get the win, and Styles would get buried. Styles will once again NOT be in the title picture for mania, and will most likely lose to Shane McMahon. Oh well.

Aj Styles nearly knocks out Shane McMahon

Moving right along, Aj Styles gets in a fight with Shane McMahon and will most likely face him at Mania. I don’t want to see that, personally.

Now, let me ask you folks, where was the tag team division? Seriously. Where’s the tag teams? Smackdown is supposed to be the better show, and yet the tag champs are nowhere to be found. Oh well.

One last note, Daniel Bryan said that in a year and a half, he will be returning to the wrestling scene, most likely in the independent world. So there’s that.

Smackdown is supposed to be a great show, and yet this show is somewhat dreadful. It is short winded, laughable on the commentary team, and really wastes time dragging along non-important points. It’s not 3 hours, mind you, but sometimes, it feels like it is. Again, no tag team division, no Apollo Crews, no Ziggler match, heck, where’s half of the roster? Undertaker’s not even on the show. Man, what a joke of a show.

WWE Smackdown Live January 3, 2017 Results and Review This Is The New Year?

I woke this morning with a headache, and a shower. The shower came after waking up, but I was tired. I didn’t sleep well at all. Smackdown was on last night, but as you know I watch things the day after. I was surprised to see how much was shoved into the show, and was even more surprised by the lackluster display that was on the show. I know people hold this show in high regard, but it’s not without faults, trust me. Let’s not put rose colored glasses on just yet.

Carmella def. Aliyah
American Alpha def. Breezango
Nikki Bella and Natalya had words
Dean Ambrose def. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship

WWE Smackdown Live January 3, 2017 Review

The opening of the show had Maryse slapping Ambrose in the ring, and I just remembered this because Maryse was hot. The Miz is a lucky man, what can I say.

Baron Corbin def. Dolph Ziggler

I did not want to see this match. Corbin’s hair is still running away from the front of his head. He should have his head shaved in storyline. That would make him more badass, if you ask me. As for this match, it was ok, I guess. I’ve just seen it a million times before, so I didn’t care. Kalisto showed up afterwards to save Ziggler from further beatings, but Ziggler turned heel and he kicked Kalisto in the face. Sigh. I don’t care about Ziggler, and neither do you. Corbin wins, that’s all.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Becky Lynch def. La Luchadora

This storyline is stupid. Lynch apparently won, I don’t remember. I remember Alexa Bliss coming out to beat up Lynch. But here’s the logical question, why? Bliss is the champ, why is she beating up Lynch now? What does she care? She has the title, Lynch should be chasing Bliss, not the other way around. Even if the champ hates her, why get involved? This makes no sense to me.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

AJ Styles and John Cena’s official Royal Rumble WWE Championship Match Contract Signing

I hate these. Styles and Cena cut promos, Cena said the word “bitch”, and the crowd was going insane for Cena. Mad props to Cena, that’s all. This was boring though. Styles kicked him in the head as Baron Corbin was in the ring after a while, and stood tall. Cena and Corbin next week!

Carmella def. Aliyah

Carmella is hot. That’s all I can say. Ellsworth is one lucky guy. I hope he gets a little action from this, because I would absolutely love some. Sigh.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

American Alpha def. Breezango

Breezango was buried. That’s it.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Nikki Bella and Natalya had words

Who cares. I don’t.

Dean Ambrose def. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship

This I didn’t see coming. Ambrose did his normal match, the same one he keeps doing every time he’s in the ring. I was bored. You were bored. This match went well for him though, and he wins the title. Dean Ambrose is your new Intercontinental champion, and you’re going to be seeing him wrestle the miz 900 thousand times. Great.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Smackdown is a boring show.

Let’s face it, this show was boring. It didn’t even use half of the roster. Where are all the other players on the show? Seriously, this is all they could come up with? Short matches, burials, and another championship for boring ass Dean Ambrose? Whatever. This sucked and you know it.

WWE TLC 2016 Results and Review The Heel Show

Dude Throws a Ladder, Really, Who Throws a Ladder? 

WWE TLC 2016 took place this past weekend in Dallas. As is my usual course, I was going to go, but decided not to fork over the thousands of dollars to fly to Dallas in favor of going to Vegas to see Penn & Teller for far less. I will be missing Raw and Smackdown until later this week, but in the mean time, let's consider the PPV and what went down with this review of epic proportions. Ok, it's not epic at all.

WWE TLC 2016 Results

Apollo Crews, American Alpha & The Hype Bros def. Curt Hawkins, The Vaudevillains & The Ascension
Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt def. SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno

Baron Corbin def. Kalisto (Chairs Match)
Alexa Bliss def. SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch (Tables Match)
WWE World Champion AJ Styles def. Dean Ambrose (Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match)

WWE TLC 2016 Review

Apollo Crews, American Alpha & The Hype Bros def. Curt Hawkins, The Vaudevillains & The Ascension

Oh how far The Vaudevillains have fallen, right? I haven't seen a tag team drop so hard since, I don't know, name a Tag Team and you're probably right. This was a throwaway match that did in fact get the crowd HYPED. I had a pizza in the oven, so I wasn't paying that much attention, but this was a good overall tag match with some nice points. Apollo Crews should be a huge star, instead of a jobber.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Randy Orton & Bray Wyatt def. SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno

The tag team title match was the opener and it wasn't even that long. In fact, it was one of the shorter matches on the card, and that was ok. I did not call The Wyatts finally getting a title, but they managed to get Rhyno and Slater to slip up and they won. I guess that's the end of the line for the two interesting duo. What will become of them now? I'm hoping Slater and/or Rhyno get a shot at the IC Title.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5 (Out of Nowhere) 

Nikki Bella def. Carmella (No Disqualification Match)

I thought this match was fine. It wasn't great, it wasn't bad, it just was there to fill the minutes. I thought we would get a lot more punishment since this was NO DQ, but it was fairly weak. Carmella loses clean, and Nikki finds out that Natalya attacked her. Ok. Sure. Light kendo stick shots, a fire extinguisher, and that's that.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5 

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Dolph Ziggler (Ladder Match)

They keep telling us that this is the last time the two are meeting. So is this really the last time? Probably not. Dolph Ziggler and The Miz put on a nice showcase of punishment. I've been saying that Dolph should be at the top of the proverbial WWE, but hey, it just doesn't happen. He gets another loss, with the Miz once again pushing for a match against Daniel Bryan. I don't know what to tell you, it's a weird push forward.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5 

Baron Corbin def. Kalisto (Chairs Match)

Perhaps the best chairs match ever. Corbin and Kalisto beat the hell out of each other, with some nice spots using the chairs. Corbin is getting so good at the timing he has with his move. The Deep Six on the floor, and the End of Days onto a pile of chairs is definitely great. I loved it. Kalisto has to get to the cruiserweight division, he's getting beat down on Smackdown.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5 

Alexa Bliss def. SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch (Tables Match)

Bliss and Lynch do not have a lot of chemistry. I'll tell you that straight out. Not only that, the two women couldn't even figure out how to set up a table properly. It also showed that they couldn't put up the tables properly, as they were too heavy. Ugh. Perhaps the teams should've set up tables beforehand? I don't know. Bliss beat the holy hell out of Lynch, and eventually threw her through a table. Afterwards someone tried to interview Lynch, which was dumb.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5 

WWE World Champion AJ Styles def. Dean Ambrose (Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match)

If you don't think that Aj Styles is the best wrestler in the world, you're an absolute idiot. This was a 5 star match, even for Ambrose. There were so many spots here. Styles tore his pants, Ambrose got a shocker finish, and wow. Everything you could think of to do with a ladder, spring boards, drop kicks, and just about anything you can throw at someone was done here. James Ellsworth came out and caused Ambrose the match, which led to Ambrose to crashing through 2 tables at ringside. I found it weird that Ambrose had his eyes open after falling through the tables, almost in protest that he's not the champion or winning. It was a weird thing. I may be the only one to notice it.

Match Rating: 5 out of 5

The only big thing to go back and watch this event for is the main event. Other than that, you're going to find that this was a forgettable show.

Alexa Bliss ruins Becky Lynch’s return to SmackDown LIVE

This is how you build a goddamn feud! This was great. Bliss came in, started fighting after the two exchanged words, and then she spray painted a yellow streak behind Becky Lynch. You know, since Becky Lynch had an abortion and missed her match against Bliss at the PPV last month.

Nikki Bella def. Natalya to become captain of the SmackDown LIVE 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Women's Elimination Match

Natalya is the resident old person on Smackdown, even though she’s very good. They booked her to lose. It must be nice to be John Cena’s girlfriend, you get to be super woman on Smackdown. This match sucked, although Natalya threw down some great stuff, even if she did lose.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Nope, nope, nope.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

AJ Styles def. Dean Ambrose via Disqualification

This was a lengthy match, and at one point I actually started to believe that Dean Ambrose would win the title. This however broke down after Aj hit James Ellsworth with a nice dropkick. This prompted Ellsworth to hit him with the super kick, and get Ambrose disqualified for the loss. I didn’t hate this match, even though Ambrose is still boring, it’s the Ellsworth element that made this one watchable overall.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

This night of wrestling was boring. But I will say this much, Smackdown has a way better women’s division than Raw. By having two mainline feuds going that are actually booked very well, they are doing a great service for the women. This is 100 times better than what Raw is doing. Raw just has a bunch of women doing promos about history and what not, boring. This is what you want, blood feuds that are boiling over.
