WWE Smackdown Live August 28, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Stands Still

Lynch Beats Down Flair 

The show opened with talking. I hated it. King Booker showed up and the New Day hung out and talked a bit. Meh.

The Bar defeated The Colons, and The Good Brothers

This was an ok match at best. It was back and forth, and The Colons got too much offense for being still employed. The Bar would get the win in a somewhat ordinary, no nonsense matchup.

Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy Talk

A wrestling show with more talking? Yep! Hardy and Orton talked a bit, and that was that. Orton left after he dropped a mic and got pwned by Hardy.

The Iconics came out and talked. Yay, more talk. They started to try and make fun of Naomi.

Billie Kay defeated Naomi

A distraction kick and roll up in under 5 minutes. Hell of an evolution huh? This was a throw away match.

The Miz and Brie Talked

More talking on a wrestling show.

Andrade Cien Almas vs Daniel Bryan ended in A No Contest

Well, this match was back and forth for the most part, but after a while, we got Maryse and Miz coming down to beat up Daniel Bryan and Brie. So the match was thrown out, and there was a beat down at the end. It was ok at best, but of course the match with Miz and Maryse at Hell in a Cell is going to be great.

Charlotte Flair defeated Carmella

The main even was Carmella getting her rematch against Charlotte Flair, and wow, this was way better than I expected. There were a lot of great moments, including an incredible Huricanrana, and some great back and forth between the women. Great main event if you ask me. Wow.

After the match, Becky Lynch showed up to the ring and started to beat down Charlotte, and the crowd went nuts for her. That was incredible, good stuff overall.

Smackdown is a B show that seems like a tug boat. I liked the ending, and the crowd loves Becky so much, and I do too at this point. I don’t think she’s going to beat Charlotte though. This is a great feud though, and Charlotte is not getting cheered here at all and Becky called her a BITCH!

Becky! Becky! Becky! Becky! Becky!

Great showcase for a finale, even if the rest of the show had too much talking.

WWE Smackdown Live August 21, 2018 Results and Review Becky Cannot Be Heel

Kofi Kingston Gets Throw Into Ladder - Source WWE

The show opened up with The Miz retiring from fighting Daniel Bryan. We thought he was going to retire but nope. He did a good job acting. Not a bad way to start things, but come on, more talking to open a show? I hate this. But then again, I love the Miz.

The opening would lead to Brie Bella running down and beating up the Miz, then Daniel Bryan cleared the ring. He then said that he was going to get a match against Miz and Maryse at Hell in a Cell in a mixed-tag team match.

Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy by DQ

The two fought a slow paced match, until Jeff Hardy started to take on Orton with a steel chair, then he climbed a small rig, and then did a Swanton through a table! I thought he was in pain? For a guy that complains that he’s feeling pain, he gives a Swanton Bomb through Orton through a table onto the floor! There was a nice finale to a match that ended swiftly and wasn’t all that good. Hardy threw down, that was cool. I clapped for it, not literally, but figuratively for sure.

Peyton Royce defeated Naomi

This was a good match, although a quick one. The commentary team wasn’t paying attention to most of the match, but that’s ok. The end was good, with a good push forward for the Iconics, but honestly, Naomi deserves more. There was a cool segment here and there, but the match lacked precision and timing. It was short, and eventually Royce got a win thanks to a distraction from the outside, and that was that.

Becky Lynch Promo

Not bad. But I can’t boo her. I just can’t. Charlotte Flair came out and the two started fighting, and that was cool. I hated the camera cuts and movements, but other than that, the two were beating the hell out of one another, and I though that was awesome. They had to be pulled apart. Something tells me they are going to have a Hell in a Cell match for the title. The women came out to stop this, but why? Meh.

Rusev and Lana defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

Another rematch, and it was ok. Nothing big, but Aiden English came to the aid of his friends and allowed them to get the win. This match seemed short, and unnecessary to me, but hey, that’s just my opinion on the matter. Not a great match, but it did have a few cool spots, mainly with Vega, because I find her to be beautiful.

AJ Styles Promo

Styles had a few sentences, and then Samoa Joe showed up and put him to sleep and he got on the mic and said that Daddy’s Asleep, Wendy. Wow. Hell in a Cell match is looming, I’m sure.

The New Day defeated The Bludgeon Brothers in a Brooklyn Street Fight

This was a great match, with a lot of fighting, and a lot of big moves. Woods went flying across the ring with an elbow through Harper and a table to get the win! This was a fight, it was a hard fought battle, and it was great to see The New Day win again. It was a great way to end the show and wow, The Bludgeon Brothers are done now. Just a lot of great moments in this fight, and a great main event if you ask me. Good showing!

The show opened up with talking. Carmella, Charlotte, and Becky were in ring, all in gear, and just talked. I hate this.

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

This was an interesting little match, and it ended up going a bit longer than I thought. This was a good match in theory, with Rose and Deville throwing down some good moves here and there, but alas, it was the team of Flair and Lynch that would get the win. That was the end of that. It’s sad to see no Asuka, and these two getting beat yet again. A tap out victory, and that was that. Oh, and Carmella on commentary was horrendous. She should’ve cost the duo the match somehow, instead, she just watched them.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Triple Threat

Meh

The New Day defeated Sanity

If you thought Sanity was going to get a fair shake on the main roster, you were wrong. That’s right, they once again end up having a serious problem, even though they put up a good fight. There was some great overall moves from the Sanity group, but it was New Day that was going to win this one and well, that was that. A good match, with some fun, and pancakes.

Throughout the night they showed stories of The Miz and Daniel Bryan, which weren’t bad.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Aiden English

Well, Aiden English lost this one, and it was fairly one sided. Cien Almas won and that’s that. Meh. It was a match. Zelina Vega is hot though. I love her.

Jeff Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin

Remember when Shelton Benjamin was a big deal coming back? Not any longer. He lost here in a short match against Hardy, and that was that. Nakamura tried to come in and fight, but he got a Swanton for his trouble, and that was that. This was a fast moving element, and well, it was fun to watch none the less.

AJ Styles Talks To The Crowd

This is how you end a wrestling show? With more talking? South Park parody yet again. Samoa Joe came out and read a letter from Wendy Styles, and I yawned, and blinked, and the show was over.

This was the end result of the show? Really? Come on!

WWE Smackdown Live July 31, 2018 Results and Review

Charlotte Flair vs Carmella - Source WWE

A cold opening? Woa, that's odd.

WWE Smackdown Live July 31, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened with Becky Lynch cutting a promo in ring with Renee Young. But then out came Carmella, and she had the mic, but things aren't the same without Ellsworth if you ask me. Ellsworth's music hit and that was a distraction for Carmella to beat down Lynch, and that was that.

Out came Charlotte Flair to help fight off Carmella, and that was that. The end. Flair came back, Ellsworth was no where to be found, and that was that.

No wrestling on this show for the first 10 minutes, which is an interesting thing to note.

The Bar defeated The Usos

In a good back and forth match, The Bar was able to take out The Usos and get themselves an advanced placement for the Smackdown tag team title tournament. I'm assuming that they are going to take on the New Day next, but for the moment, The Usos went down in a heap. The Bar is great together, and this match wasn't half bad, if you ask me. I liked it. It's perhaps the best tag team match on WWE this week. A bold statement for sure.

Samoa Joe Cut A Promo

I'm so tired of the amount of talking that are on these shows. I just don't think they are necessary. Joe is good here, but I don't care.

Jeff Hardy Cut A Promo

I kid you not, there was NO wrestling for more than 20 - 30 minutes of this show. Jeff Hardy came out and cut a promo on Randy Orton. Who gives a crap? This is supposed to be a wrestling show! Geez. Randy Orton came out, but before he could do anything, Shinsuke Nakamura kicked him from behind then beat him up, and that was it. Orton then stayed in the ring after Nakamura left, and well, Orton just dropped Hardy and that was that. Orton gave him a beat down, and that was that.

Zelina Vega defeated Lana

This was a poor match, but Zelina is hot. Lana lost because Aiden English tried to help, when Andrade was interfering on the apron. Either way, this was a bad match, and if you like Zelina, she came out on top.

Guess What happened next?! More Talking!

Daniel Bryan and The Miz traded things verbally, while Miz was on a TV, Bryan was in the ring. Sigh. I'm so tired of talking on wrestling shows.

Charlotte Flair defeated Carmella

Ugh. So Becky Lynch was supposed to get a one on one shot at Carmella, but now, no more. Since Flair defeated Carmella in a crappy match to end Smackdown, we now get a triple threat match at Summerslam, and that probably will mean that Carmella can retain without having to do a lot of the work. I didn't see this match going that way, but hey, if they want to do a triple threat, why not? I'm tired of multi-person matches.

That was the end of Smackdown. It had more talking than anything else.

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.

WWE Smackdown Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review Where Is Andrade?

The Young Upstart Kane Finally Gets A Shot At The Main Roster - SRC WWE 

Why would the WWE keep bringing up talent only for them to not get featured on the show? I’m talking about Andrade Cien Almas, and of course Tye Dillinger, the perfect 10. I guess they just don’t want to showcase these guys? Send them back to NXT then! Geez. Oh yeah, we had Smackdown this week, let’s talk about that for a moment.

WWE Smackdown Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review

Today we start with pure wrestling! No. I kid. We started with Miz TV! More talking! This ended with a challenge as Daniel Bryan came out and talked, which was boring. I don’t want to see more talking, but hey that’s what you get with WWE these days. The promo worked and we got a match for later that will feature Daniel Bryan and one of the Bludgeon Brothers. The Miz escaped a beat down here.

Rusev defeated Xavier Woods

This was your standard television match, nothing too complicated about it. You had a feeling that Rusev was going to win, since it was Rusev day. The match was nothing to write home about, and here I am writing about it, aren’t I? Well, the whole match was good overall, and it definitely had some good points, with Rusev eventually countering Woods here and there and hitting the accolade, making Woods tap fast. Rusev then cut a promo. Not a bad way to start the show, well second on the show, but I could use less talking from Rusev, and more wrestling from Aj Styles.

Apparently the cast of Glow was there to say what’s up to Lana and Naomi. Cool, I guess. I didn’t think all of the starts were there, but maybe there’s all new women? I don’t know.

Jeff Hardy defeated Eric Young by Disqualification

This was a match that was ok at best, but it really took off when the USOS showed up and dispatched Sanity as they were outside. This turned into a six man tag team match, and I was wondering where Teddy Long was to make this happen.

The Usos and Jeff Hardy defeated Sanity

Well well, the new team coming up from NXT gets beat down and loses to the established Smackdown stars. Why bring up starts to get them beat by established stars? I don’t get it. The match was fast paced, and it was really fun to see. The Usos and Jeff Hardy threw down their greatest hits, and it was fun to see, so I guess in terms of wrestling alone, this was great to watch and it was definitely worth your time if you haven’t seen it just yet.

Becky Lynch defeated Sonia Deville

I love Deville. She’s beautiful, and great. Lynch is also smoking hot, but the two together can also throw down. Lynch was able to throw down a great deal of back and forth hits. I liked this one, and it had a great deal of action. Lynch won with the Disarm-her and that was that. Good back and forth, and nice action for the women.

James Ellsworth Cut A Promo

This was a great promo, and Ellsworth is great on the mic. Paige came out and said that Carmella has to fight Asuka. He called out Asuka. But Paige said Asuka wasn’t there etc. Next week Ellsworth will fight Ellsworth next week, and that’s that.

Daniel Bryan defeated Luke Harper via DQ

This wasn’t a great match, but it was adequate for me. It had a good back and forth at first glance, and of course it had Daniel Bryan chopping down Harper for the most part. When it looked like he was going to win, Rowan jumped in to stop things, and that caused the DQ. Kane then showed up and we had a reunion of Team Hell NO, and that was that. Kane, folks, the young upstart KANE is back, instead of Andrade Cien Almas instead of Tye Dillinger, instead of anyone else that they called up, it was that young upstart KANE.

Smackdown was ok, the WWE packed in a few things, but it’s really stupid that this is the conclusion of certain things. There’s a lot to be desired, and honestly, this is a B show for me.

WWE Backlash 2018 Results and Review The Worst Ending Ever

Low Blow City - SRC WWE 

In Newark, New Jersey, we got one hell of a show, and it was either horrible for you or it was status quo in a lot of different ways. Whatever the case was, we had a show and well, there were 9 matches on it, and let’s get to it, because it was polarizing to say the least.

WWE Backlash 2018 Results and Review

Ruby Riott defeated Bayley

The first match was a women’s match and it was on the pre-show. It was good, Riott is a great worker and Bayley was losing a step here and there, which was odd for her. I didn’t realize that she wasn’t doing so well until mid-match she slipped up a few times, and Riott had her number nearly every time. Eventually a distraction from the Riott Squad and a quick pin would garner Bayley a loss here, and that was that. Before the match, she tried to get Sasha Banks on her side, but that was to no avail.

Seth Rollins defeated The Miz

The opening match of the PPV featured a great back and forth effort that was great for both guys. The Miz gets a lot of crap, but he threw down a great deal of offense against Rollins, and focused on some great in ring psychology. Rollins would get The Miz’s number here, and would eventually pin him with the curb stomp and that was that. Great opener, and perhaps the match of the night.

Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss

This wasn’t a great match, but it was good enough. Jax got the boots to her, and Bliss wasn’t messing around, as she was able to bring on some offense, but it wasn’t enough. Jax would rag doll her eventually and would cause her to lose the match. Jax wins and then did a random PSA about bullying, which sucked, and I didn’t care for it. Bliss is reportedly injured now.

Jeff Hardy defeated Randy Orton

Orton has phoned in a lot of his career, including this match. Hardy was on fire throughout it, and was able to bring on a great deal of offense before he got the win. Hardy seems to no have lost a step and the crowd erupts for him, so why not throw him into the title picture? I had fun, you did too, admit it.

Daniel Bryan defeated Big Cass

This was a back and forth match where Big Cass was able to garner a bit of offense here and there, but immediately tapped to Bryan’s, yes lock. After the match he was a sore loser and beat up Bryan. This was a lousy match, but hey, Bryan wins. So long, Big Cass.

Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair

The women’s title was on the line here and Carmella did ok with Flair, but her move set is limited and well, it dragged a little. Flair seemed to hurt her knee off of a moonsault attempt, and then Carmella would get the pin, and that was that.

Aj Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura ended in a No Contest in the WWE Title Match

Well, it was a terrible match, and the ending left me gasping, as the two hit kicks to the groin and that was that. I kid you not.

Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

This was a burial of sorts, and it was Strowman and Lashley getting the big win. A fun 8 minute or so match that wasn’t much of a consequence if you ask me. It was fun, and that’s about it.

Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe started this match on fire, rag dolling Roman Reigns, but that wasn’t enough. Joe had control of this match for the most part, but it would be Reigns that would get the win after a couple of spears, and that was that. What a crock. Joe loses, and is a chum.

Backlash 2018 was abysmal to some, and ok for others. I didn’t like it all, but there were moments that seemed to work for me. As a whole, it is what it is, another event that the WWE threw at us in hopes of putting over their main stars and Roman Reigns. I give it a 7 out of 10, and that’s very generous, because I had fun watching it. I doubt I’ll be watching it ever again, that’s for certain.

WWE Smackdown Live May 1, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Ends With Women

Superkick - SRC WWE

I still think Smackdown is the B show, even though they have some good points. I just feel that they leave out so much talent, including my man Tye Dillinger the perfect 10. I don’t understand it, but hey, that’s what the WWE is doing, and it’s their prerogative to do so. This night on Smackdown a lot happened inside a small span of time, once again live from Montreal.

WWE Smackdown Live May 1, 2018 Results and Review

Jeff Hardy was the guest on MIZ TV

The Miz said that Daniel Bryan was banned from Miz TV. Randy Orton and Shelton Benjamin interfered here, and things went down to a beat down, and the show got disrupted yet again, because, why not?

Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy defeated The Miz and Shelton Benjamin

As if you didn’t know what was going to happen, you would’ve thought that Teddy Long came back. We had a tag team match playa! This was a fast paced match with The Miz and Benjamin throwing a few moves at Orton and Hardy, but it was the good guys that would get the upper hand yet again. Of course, that’s what would always happen, wouldn’t it? Lame. Not a great match, but not a terrible one either.

Big Cass Beat Down Daniel Bryan

Ok, he didn’t really, he brought out a midget after he threw out a great promo about how he’s going to beat Daniel Bryan into oblivion.

SHinsuke Nakamura demanded an Apology From Aj Styles

He didn’t get it.

Xavier woods defeated Sheamus

Not much to say here, Woods put in a good effort, Sheamus couldn’t get the win, that’s all. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t that great either.

Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Becky Lynch defeated Carmella and The Iiconics

This was the main event and it had a lot of action. The women on the good side won, but it wasn’t without some serious punishment from the Iiconics and Carmella, which came into their own for this one, which was definitely fun to see overall. I love the women on Smackdown, and they are both powerful and beautiful, so there. I loved this match, and it was the highlight of the show for me.

Smackdown seems to be the B show, and it kind of is, leaving a lot of talent in the back and not really getting much attention from the people I wish they did. Either way, it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t good either.

WWE Smackdown April 17, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Gets Jacked

Joe Buries Sin Cara - SRC WWE  

Well, here we go, another day has passed, and before I begin talking about anything I want to say that it’s unfortunate to hear about the death of Bruno Sammartino. He has passed, and it’s a sad day for sure. If you’re a fan of wrestling, then you know that this is a big deal. RIP Bruno! RIP! We’ll see you in heaven brother.

WWE Smackdown April 17, 2018 Results and Review

A lot went down in an hour and a few minutes of Smackdown. People keep saying that it’s 2 hours, but it’s not. When you cut commercials out, you get about 1 hour and 20 minutes of programming, and sometimes less. Whatever the case may be, there was a lot shoved into this night of wrestling.

Aj Styles defeated Rusev via disqualification

The starting of the show had Aj Styles doing a promo but was interrupted by Rusev and Aiden English. That prompted a match between the Bulgarian Lion and Styles, but it ended when English jumped in and started to beat down Styles. That prompted a save from Daniel Bryan, and that would setup the final match later in the evening.

Jeff Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin

Benjamin cut one hell of a heel program and then asked anyone to come down. Randy Orton showed up first, but was thwarted by Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy is now officially on Smackdown Live, and he ran down with the belt to challenge Benjamin with the title on the line. This was a compelling back and forth match, and it really showed the talents of both men. I loved it, and it could very well be one of the best matches of the week. Hardy would win with his final moves, but wow, Benjamin had some answers for the offense.

Harper defeated Jey Uso

The Usos were buried here, there’s no two ways about it.

Carmella Threw a Mellabration

Carmella’s little party was ok to say the least.

Samoa Joe defeated Sin Cara

Sin Cara got buried by Samoa Joe, and Joe threw down one hell of a promo.

Charlotte Flair defeated Billie Kay

Flair beat down Billie Kay and won with the figure 8, but after the match, out came Peyton Royce to beat down Flair. She was saved by Asuka, whom is now on the Smackdown Live brand. Not a great match at all.

Aj Styles and Daniel Bryan vs. Rusev and Aiden English ended in a no contest when Shinsuke Nakamura and Big Cass interfered

This wasn’t too bad. It was a good back and forth tag with Styles getting most of the action with Rusev and English, until he got the hot tag, and Bryan ran in. Bryan was doing well until Shinsuke Nakamura showed up and low blowed Styles, and then Big Cass interfered and stomped out Bryan. That was how Smackdown ended.

Shinsuke Nakamura was asked why, and he delivered a great line, “no speak English”, and I loved it.

This night seemed packed with stuff, and though it wasn’t a long night of wrestling, it worked well enough for the time frame, and there’s a lot of new faces to expect coming through.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review The Shake Up Night One

Ronda Rousey Take Down 2018 - src wwe dot com

Let’s shake things up! That’s what we were going to get with Monday Night Raw, and it was interesting to see how things shaped up. It’s better than the last one, but let’s see how it all works out.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 16, 2018 Results and Review

Jeff Hardy defeated Jinder Mahal for the US Championship

Jeff Hardy is so good, and still so clean when he is in the ring. He was able to throw down some good offense against Jinder and Mahal wasn’t bad. Jinder Mahal and Jeff Hardy threw down a great deal of back and forth and I enjoyed it tremendously. I was rooting for Jeff towards the end, and was surprised to see that he was able to pull the title away from Jinder Mahal. Apparently, Jeff Hardy is now Hindering Jinder! Great opening match.

Bayley vs. Sasha Banks

The two women were throwing hay makers at each other and it was getting ugly until the Riott Squad broke into the ring and started to beat down the two women. They just kept fighting them, and beat them down with relative ease. It was an interesting jump, and one that didn’t have music played first.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

Well, the Authors of Pain once again bury the duo of Slater and Rhyno and that’s the end of them. Sorry about that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn showed up for Miz TV

Miz Tv was special in that they announced Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but then again, Miz ended up being told that he would be moved to Smackdown and that Daniel Bryan is waiting.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated The Revival

Why even have NXT tag teams come up? The Revival once again lose, and the team of Hardy and Wyatt is just stupid to me. The match was ok at best, and you knew that The Revival was going down, which they did.

Ember Moon defeated Mickie James

One hell of a match here, and it wasn’t long. However, the finish saw Ember Moon hitting her finisher and nearly wrecking Mickie James. This match is worth mentioning as the best match of the week, just for that insane finish. I loved it.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre showed up and beat down Titus Worldwide

I have nothing to say about this.

Samoa Joe confronted Roman Reigns

Samoa Joe babbles on and Roman Reigns all has to say one thing, but he doesn’t. He just needs to say that Samoa Joe couldn’t beat Lesnar either.

Natalya defeated Many Rose

This was a fast paced match, but it ended fast with a little help from Rose’s friends. Natalya would get a beat down after the fact, but out came Ronda Rousey and fought Sonya Deville and it was fascinating to see her beat down Sonya fast. I loved it.

Breezango defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

A short match, and nothing too crazy here, just an average match where Breezango steals a win. It was a fun little romp, and their backstage antics was fun to watch too.

Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode defeated The Miz, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The Miztourage

This was a fast paced 10 man tag and nothing crazy. Just a lot of finishers, and back and forth. I loved it and it’s funny to see how they all interact. The best part here involved The Miz. The Miz got isolated and The Miztourage refused to tag in, and then Braun Strowman beat him down and pinned him for the win. The Miz gets sent out beaten, and without his crew.

An overall good night of wrestling, with a stacked Raw show. I liked it, even though it felt a little long. I hope Smackdown is just as good, otherwise this time around Raw will win the big showdown. I loved it. I’m sure others did too.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

Miz Is Raw - SRC WWE

Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania is usually a good thing, and honestly, it didn’t feel like it was 9 hours long for a change. Let’s consider the Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania here before I get to Ring of Honor and Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show had Stephanie McMahon trolling the audience and then introducing Ronda Rousey. Rousey showed up and then put McMahon into an armbar and got her to tap again, and it got the crowd going nuts.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

This was an incredible match that showcased Ember Moon’s skills, and really made Jax look good too. Ok, incredible is a bit much, but I’m still high from the NXT Takeover show. Good overall match, not a long one, but enough to get Ember Moon over as a newcomer.

No Way Jose defeated a Jobber

No Way Jose beat a jobber and danced. I liked it.

The Revival defeated The Club Sandwich Boys in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

There’s a tournament for the number one contenders to the titles, and the Revival fought their long time rivals the Club Sandwich boys. The Revival won after they hit their finale, and that was that. It was a short match with a fast finish and that’s it.

The Miz, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor were talking in the ring and Jeff Hardy showed up, making a match for later. This wasn’t bad, but it was more talking.

Mandy Rose defeated Sasha Banks

This wasn’t bad, Mandy Rose was able to beat Sasha Banks thanks to Bayley’s outside interference, and that was that.

Bobby Lashley attacked Elias

Elias showed up and sang a bit before Bobby Lashley showed up and beat him down and that was that. Nice to see Lashley back, that’s for sure.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

This was a burial, nothing more. I can’t believe how far the former Smackdown Champions have fallen.

Samoa Joe cut a promo on Roman Reigns

Cool!

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated Titus Worldwide in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

We very well may see Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt get the tag team titles next. The two are now Woken and are a team, and they beat up Titus Worldwide in a short match.

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This was interesting, as the winner will get a job on Raw. Neither won, as there was a double 10 count loss, and while the match was good as per usual, the ending was kind of dumb.

Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Jeff Hardy defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

A great match this was not. It was good, but not great. The good guys flew through the ring and controlled a lot of it, including Jeff Hardy throwing down all of his moves and getting the crowd to go completely nuts for the tag team work that the guys did here. The Miz and Miztourage lose again.

Overall, Raw wasn’t too bad, and it was better than most weeks. However, it’s not something that I loved, and it didn’t have the same gusto that you’d get with other nights after Mania. It was good though, don’t get me wrong.

WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 Results and Review

Lesnar Really Earned The Paycheck This TIme - SRC WWE.COM

Some people are calling this the best event that the WWE has put together since Wrestlemania. Others are not so happy with the results. Me? I had a blast watching a great deal of the matches, and while I wasn’t in Dallas, I really wish that I was there. Oh well. The great thing about WWE’s build up thus far is that they were able to put in a lot of effort into pushing certain stories, over others. But that doesn’t mean that the show was amazing on all arenas, there were some missteps, but here we go, this is how it went down, and what I thought of the show, now that I’ve had 24 hours to stew on it, so to speak.

WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 Review

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Akira Tozawa

Not a terrible match, but it was obvious that Neville was only going half speed. Tozawa is good, and he put on a showcase, but Titus and him couldn’t get this win over Neville. I’m souring on the cruiserweights, and I’m not sure how long WWE is going to push the show, if they are going to do so at all in the near future, oh well. This match was good, but too bad it was an opener and not on the main card.

Bray Wyatt def. Seth Rollins

The eater of pins got a clean win on Seth Rollins. Some say it wasn’t clean because of a thumb in the eye, but you know what? He was on the outside, and Rollins was pulling his hair. He came back into the ring, breaking the referee’s count, and pinned Rollins after a Sister Abigail finisher. That’s about as clean as you’re going to get folks.

Big Cass def. Enzo Amore

Enzo cut a cool promo, but then got beat down. He lost big time. Cass is big, he gets the win. Not a great match. Enzo is done in the WWE if you ask me.

Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus def. The Hardy Boyz (30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match)

This was a fun 30 minute match, and the two teams put on a clinic if you ask me. I loved it. I loved how Matt even got busted open the hard way. The teams are so good together, and they just gel during the whole match. All of the offense and defense was fun, and the timing went well. Just a lot of great spots here, and some great overall timing on the part of both teams. I loved it. Great iron man match, and this feud rolls on, again.

Sasha Banks def. Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss via Count-out

Sasha Banks was able to beat Alexa Bliss after a great back and forth battle, but only because Bliss got herself counted out. That means that she kept the title, which is what I’ve been saying all along about the heel champions. They should pull this more often. As for Banks, she is great, and was able to launch herself off the top of the announcers table, with double knees, and busted Bliss mouth wide open. A great spot, a good match, and smart booking if you ask me.

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Dean Ambrose

I didn’t care for this match, but Bo Dallas looking like the One Man Gang was cool. The MIz won with the help of his crew, and Ambrose is going to need a new partner to square off against, if you ask me. I’m tired of his phoning it in.

Braun Strowman def. Roman Reigns (Ambulance Match)

I didn’t expect this match to be as entertaining as it was. It was definitely a fast paced, fluid match, and the two put on a show. Roman Reigns was over zealous at one point and launched himself into the Ambulance, and LOST clean! He got so mad, however, that he threw Braun into the ambulance and then rammed it into a semi. He nearly KILLED Strowman, in storyline. This is nothing new. People are talking a heel turn, I don’t know. I liked this match, and am glad Strowman got the win. He may be next for Lesnar, and will most likely lose.

Heath Slater def. Curt Hawkins

Wow! Heath Slater and Curt Hawkins were sent out to battle, and the WWE didn’t even show it for the most part. Slater won, but the show was not showing the match, the cameras showed the ambulance and Braun backstage.

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar def. Samoa Joe

This reminded me of the WWF Championship run that The Undertaker had in 1997. If you remember the matches after Wrestlemania 13, you will realize that The Undertaker fought everyone off in really competitive matches until meeting head first against Bret Hart at Summerslam. That match was epic, but he fought off Farooq, Stone Cold, and many others on the way to Summerslam that year. Lesnar could very well be that good, if he wrestled more often, but this match was great. Joe was not afraid, and he put the boots to Lesnar, and even went to Suplex city many times. However, one F5 later, and Joe loses clean in under 10 minutes. This was a great match for what it was, even if it was short. I hate Lesnar now, but hey, Joe got the best of him, and there’s no telling where this is going. Joe showed me that he could and should be champion, if you ask me.

There you have it, the big event is over, and the matches are done. Who knows what is going to go down tonight on Raw, but it’s going to be an interesting one, no doubt.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 17, 2017 Results and Review Same Old SHIZNIT

Monday Night Raw 

If you were looking for Monday Night Raw to follow up on their previous booking, don’t look for it here. This night in Ohio had a lot of flaws, with a few cool matches to book. Overall, this is not a great Raw, but you know what? Perhaps you thought differently. Let’s discuss it, or rather let me write about it to an audience of no one.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 17, 2017 Results

Samoa Joe defeated Chris Jericho
The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Enzo and Big Cass
Dean Ambrose beat Up The Miz
Tj Perkins defeated Jack Gallagher
Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Mickie James for the No. 1 Contender Spot
Finn Balor defeated Curt Hawkins

Big Show vs. Braun Showman ended in a no contest

WWE Monday Night Raw April 17, 2017 Review

First and foremost, the show opened with Brown Shoeman getting an uproarious ovation for taking out Roman Reigns. He was getting so much cheers, he almost broke character several times. It was insane how much praise he was getting in the opening segment. That prompted Kurt Angle to give him a match against Roman Reigns for Payback in a couple of weeks.

Samoa Joe defeated Chris Jericho

Another burial. Ok, maybe it wasn’t as bad as some other matches, but Samoa Joe easily defeated Chris Jericho after figuring out a few of the key elements of Jericho’s game. Jericho is way over, and that was fun. His interaction with the Drifter backstage was great too. Joe wins, and I’m not sure what’s to go down next.

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Enzo and Cass

Brian Zane of wrestling with wregret fame tried to argue with me about Cass. I’m going to reiterate yet again, HE IS NOT world title material, and he is not going to become the next Stone Cold. He is NOT the same caliber of talent. I like the guy enough, but if him and Enzo keep getting mauled in the tag division, like they did against the Club Sandwhich boys, it’s going to be dreadful. This match was lame. I hope to never see it again.

Dean Ambrose on Miz TV

The Miz didn’t say anything that we already didn’t know. Dean Ambrose sucks. He plays dumb, and is collecting a giant paycheck, then going home to bang Renee Young. Lucky bastard. Ok, maybe he deserves it, but then again, I could go with Jennifer White for an hour for $1200 so maybe it’s not about luck, it’s about money. Dean Ambrose beats up the Miz, and that’s that.

Tj Perkins defeated Jack Gallagher

Gallagher went from contending for the Cruiserweight Title to losing to Perkins. Perkins is heel now, and that makes him better, all of a sudden? Ok. Not a great match, Gallagher’s same formulaic matches are starting to bore me.

Alexa Bliss defeated Sasha Banks, Nia Jax, and Mickie James

Now this was a boring match for the most part, then things started to pick up towards the end. I didn’t peg Bliss to win this one, and when she came roaring into the match and beat up Sasha Banks, I marked out huge. Bliss seems like a really cool chick, and am glad that she got a hometown win. She will face Bayley, in Bayley’s home town, so that will be a good match, I hope.

Finn Balor buried Curt Hawkins

I’m a Curt Hawkins fan, I’m sorry, I like him. He calls out anyone in the back, and Finn Balor comes out. He has a serious look on his face and then drops Hawkins into oblivion with some insane dropkicks and of course, his finisher. Hawkins gets buried for the second week in a row, but man, what a way to go out. I loved it.

Jeff Hardy defeated Cesaro

Jeff Hardy is such a great talent. Cesaro and him put on a fine display, and perhaps the best match of the night. Hardy is impressive here, and Cesaro is always fun to watch. What can I say, this was a delight to watch.

The Big Show vs. Brown Shoeman ended in a no Contest

Here’s where I find serious issue. Why is Braun Strowman having such a hard time against The Big Show? He should be mauling him, but that’s not what we get. Strowman fights hard to get through this one, and the ending comes with the two crashing onto the mat and the ring breaking. The same spot we’ve seen many times before. Michael Cole also said that the Big Show used to have an elbow drop from the top as his finisher, which is wrong. He did have a dropkick off the top, but when he made it to WWE they told him not to do anything off the ground. Then they buried him, sending him to OVW to retrain. Strowman got up and the announcers sold it like he was the second coming of Hercules Hernandez. Whatever. I am not sold on Strowman because he’s going to get buried by Roman Reigns in a couple of weeks. Oh well.

Raw was not great, but it wasn’t terrible. I’m tired of the lazy booking, but hey, that’s just what happens. I had a fun time watching, so maybe it wasn’t half bad after all.

TNA Against All Odds 2011 Results and Review

The crowd seemed hot for this one, and it was nice to hear. I wish the announcers talked about it. THe opening match had me pumping my fist, that's for sure...because Robbie E and Cookie can really create some heat. I am a fan of Robbie E, even if I'm the only one.

Robbie E faced off one on one with Kaz, and the match was really fast paced, with lots of fast moments. Cookie got involved and I was marking out for the old school ending, but when Kaz kicked out of a roll up after getting hit in the face with a boot I saw this match slipping away from the New Jersey bad boy. Kaz would eventually get the win, after the Fade to Black Reverse Tombstone, and the crowd went wild. NOt a terrible match, but it left a lot to be desired from me. These guys can put up a better match, even if all we got was this one. Robbie E should have the title, if I do say so myself.

Kaz defeated Robbie E in the X Division Title Match

Immortal came out with the body guards (Gunner and Murphy, and Rob Terry) came out for a match, and I already hated it. ROb Terry is so huge, that he should've kept that feud with Orlando Jordan. They were building it up to be quite good. Beer Money would get a shot at them, and they are just wasted here. Big Poppa Pump came out to join them, and he's the only big name in this match up. I think I might mark out huge for an Undertaker vs Steiner match, just for the meeting. This match wasn't a complete waste, but it was apparent that Robert Roode and his partner were carrying the work load. Steiner was way over with the in ring crowd, which was nice. Steiner delivered a top rope Frankensteiner!!!!!!! I kid you not, TOP ROPE FRANKENSTEINER! Scott Steiner hit one hell of a move and I marked out huge, alongside the rest of the crowd, wow! A HUGE FRANKENSTEINER saves the day!

Beer Money & Scott Steiner defeated Gunner, Murphy & Rob Terry

Samoa Joe and The Pope put on a good enough match. I'm always surprised at how Samoa Joe can move in ring. He can really go, despite how fat I perceive him being. He started this match fast and the crowd was all about it. Joe has some great finesse in ring, He seems to float through some of his moves, and it's really good. The Pope, on the other hand, seemed a bit lost at several moments during this match up. The Pope took the turnbuckle pad off, and this match seemed to lose momentum when Joe was almost thrown into it. The Pope reversed a nice roll up into the Kakina Clutch and I was amazed! What a finisher.

Samoa Joe defeated The Pope

Post match, the Pope seemed impressed, but not hurt. Joe won the physical battle, but Pope is winning the psychological warfare.

Up Next, was the Knockouts match, and wow, what a waste. Mickie James botched several moves, and this thing was going terrible. The match was boring, and things were saved by Tara, she ran down and helped the flow of this match. Mickie James and Madison really made for a good overall second half the match, and I loved it, only because Madison took out a pair of Brass Knuckles and KNOCKED OUT Mickie James while the ref was distracted and won this knockouts match! The brass knucks get the mark out moment in this match up. I guess I'll pass it because I marked out huge, oh and I guess I called the match right huh?

Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James in a last woman standing match

Super Mex and Matt Morgan had a confrontation, and I hated it.

Matt Hardy cut a promo, it sucked. He is really trying to be Raven. It was weird.

Matt Hardy wasn't really good here, but he is losing weight gradually. He wasn't as bloated as I've seen him in previous years, and he put on an ok match. RVD did NOT put on a great match, and I think it's the caliber of opponent here. There were some nice spots to follow, including a unique submission move that I haven't seen in years. RVD would lose this one after a botched attempt by hardy to hit a Moonsault. The crowd was losing steam here, and that's when RVd would get the win with the Five Star Frog Splash.

RVD defeated Matt Hardy

This match wasn't really that good. Bully ray and Devon fought each other brawling all the way. The match really got interesting towards the end, with Bully Ray putting Devon in handcuffs to the ring post. His sons ran in and they got beat down. Yes, Devon's kids got beat up, one went through a table too, it was sad. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Bully Ray pinned one of Devon's sons...this was sad.

Bully ray defeated Devon

Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett put on a good match, although nothing comparible to many others. Karen Jarrett kept getting involved and would cost Angle. Kurt really did manage to put on a few good shots on Double J including suplex after suplex. Jarrett looked frustrated in this match at several points, including when Angle kicked out of the Stroke. The momentum shifted when the ref took a bump and Angle went to the outside to brawl with Double J. Jarrett introduced a chair and Angle couldn't use it, and this match got some steam again, and I was actually cheering for Kurt Angle! I wish Angle could get a shot at Taker, on a sidenote. Karen distracted Angle in the corner and after The Stroke was hit from the middle rope, this match seemed over, but nope! Kurt made Jarrett tap out at one point, but the ref was distracted! Jarrett was able to turn things around, and got Angle in a sick roll up! JARRETT WINS! JARRETT WINS!

Jeff Jarrett defeated Kurt Angle

Post match it just seemed sad as Angle genuinely looked sad, and he started crying and left his boots in the ring...signaling retirement.

There hasn't been a main event that has been so lame sounding, than this one. I tried to avoid spoilers, but I knew what would happen, and I was saddened to see this is the main event.

One of the worst Ladder matches I've ever seen happened here. There were some nice brawling points, but there was no drama, no real enthusiasm here, and Jeff hardy got the win, surprise surprise. What a lousy ending, I can't vouch for this, this sucked.

TNA Impact 2/10/11 Results and Review

Ah yes, I finally get to sit down and watch TNA. I know that this is going to be a train wreck, as I heard "They" was just Forchan or whatever they call it, and I can already hear crickets going off for the story lines that the TNA creative team is pushing, but maybe, just maybe they can do something better....we'll see.

TNA Impact 2/10/11 Results

Immortal came out and it looks like a bunch of jobbers instead of the main event status that you'd hope for. THe members are seriously bad, including Double J, Karen Angle, the security guards, the hardy's and more. It's sad.

Fortune came out while Bischoff was cutting a promo and they have new shirts. They stood face to face with Immortal, and they squared off verbally. After some words were exchanged, they fought each other and out came Crimson, Kurt Angle and Scott Steiner hit the ring and cleared everyone out. That was that.

Bischoff was backstage trying to recruit Super Mex to join Immortal.

This was supposed to be a tables match or something, but it started off as a complete brawl. Joe and Pope ran off, the Dudley's were fighting on the outside. Matt Hardy for once didn't look bloated and fat, but maybe it was just the file I was watching. Rvd and Hardy fought each other and it looked like Hardy was drugged because he was taking some odd looking bumps while RVD was trying to compensate for his opponents obvious impairment. BUlly Ray got in the face of Devon's kids and the kids jumped the rail and held Bubba's legs while Devon shoved him through a table and that was that. This match was over. A lousy match with a cool spot ending, I guess I can't complain that much, it had some good moments, specifically Devon's kids jumping the guard rail and helping Bubba fall through a table.

Rvd, Devon & Samoa Joe defeated Bully Ray, The Pope, and Matt Hardy

Karen Angle isn't THAT ugly, I don't know what the internet is saying.

Jarrett said that if Angle wins the match on sunday, Angle will get custody of the kids?! Oh man...this is just bad. Jarrett stated that if he wins Angle will renew her vows with Double J live and Angle has to walk down the aisle and give away Karen Angle in marriage to Jarrett. This is stupid, that's what I would be chanting. Nothing really happened with the contract signing, no one got beat up, it was just a waste of time.

This was an 8 knockouts tag match, but no one said anything they just kept announcing women. Rosita was introduced as a new knockout and she's really small. She's a lot smaller than the other divas and isn't quite as good. That didn't matter, the rest of the knockouts fought each other and this match was a cluster of a battle. Rosita got the pinfall victory, and that was that...a strange kind of match.

Sarita & Rosita and Tara & Madison Rayne defeated Angelina Love & Winter and Mickie James

Madison Rayne and Mickie James will battle this weekend in a Last Knockout's Standing match. There was a promo, but it was lousy.

I'm not sure why they would have a title match the Thursday before a ppv and then have Jeff Hardy cut a promo like he's the champion! What the heck!?!

Ken Anderson and Matt Morgan put on a very safe looking match. This match wasn't at all anything I'd expect. It was safe until the ref bump and that's when Hernandez hit the ring and beat up Matt Morgan. Morgan would get thrown into the ring and Anderson would pick up the scraps and get the win. The match for the most part was boring, and tired. Anderson is NOT a charismatic champion, the title belt looks like a divas belt, and on a ladder outside the ring was Jeff Hardy just watching.

Ken Anderson defeated Matt Morgan

Hernandez then beat up Anderson, and that was that.

The x-division triple threat was the highlight of the night. Robbie E, Suicide and Brian Kendrick had an interesting match with lots of high spots, lots of reversals, and just a battle in a fast match. This match seemed as though I was watching in fast forward because things just kept going forward and the match seemed like it was going to get Suicide over, but instead it was Robbie E and Kendrick that impressed me most. After some distraction from Cookie, Robbie E would get the win.

Robbie E defeated Suicide and Brian Kendrick in a triple threat match

The line up for Against All Odds was run down, and it was not impressive. I feel sorry for anyone that is going to pay money to see it, because it's a terrible card.

The main event wasn't even about the WORLD TITLE! THis is the same problem I have with WWE sometimes. They make their titles seem unimportant.

Jeff Jarrett teamed up with Jeff Hardy to face off against Kurt Angle and Aj Styles, and something was awry up front. Aj Styles had the same tights he's always had, which doesn't seem to change anything since he just turned face, right? He should update his look a little. Angle started the match after a tag in, and Jarrett ran away. Hardy and Angle locking up was interesting to see, and it was very obvious that ANgle still has some amazing wrestling skill, despite being in the worst wrestling company going today. This match took a lot of rest holds, and through a lot of commercials, you had to watch some of the worst wrestling. Sure Angle can go, but Hardy was just sloppy and throwing some terrible offense at the olympic gold medalist. The match sped up towards the end and Angle and Styles took it to the bad guys here, and Aj Styles would eventually get the pinfall, thanks in part to a distraction by Karen Angle. Aj hit a nice splash and pinned Jarrett.

Aj Styles & Kurt Angle defeated Jeff Jarrett and Jeff Hardy

Post match Jarrett hit the stroke on Angle and Styles. Hardy then came in and hit the Twist of Hate. Fortune hit the ring, IMmortal hit the ring, and everyone just started fighting.

This night in wrestling was some of the worst I've seen in a while. The matches seemed clustered together, and performed with lazy attitudes. The story line is so convoluted, and I really don't care about the title picture. There's no tag team titles? The x-Division title isn't going to be defended? What happened to the tv title? See, there's a lot of terrible points for TNA and it doesn't need to be this way.

Oh well. Lots of random crap to end today's wrestling posts...I'm going to sleep now.

TNA Impact 1/20/11 Results and Review

TNA Impact started with one of the best highlight videos they've ever created. The saga of Jeff Jarrett and Kurt Angle is a wonderful video full of great pro-wrestling writing, and if TNA could somehow make it pay off, that'd be great. However, I highly doubt they can, as they do not have a good track record of doing so.

The show opened up with Kurt Angle talking to some fat dude telling some random dude to play his music....oh man, terrible. We start the show with Kurt Angle coming to the ring....they better figure something out or else I'm going to sleep.

Eric Bischoffs music hit and out came a lot of police officers and they calmly escorted Kurt Angle out of the arena. Yep, what appeared to be real police, got Angle arrested.

QUite possibly the worst thing in women's professional wrestling is the TNA Knockouts division. It's seriouslly the worst thing I've ever seen. This match was terrible, Mickie James won with a roll up on Madison Rayne, and that was it. This match, I can not say enough about, in terms of how bad it was. Very little wrestling, very little to talk about, I can't believe this is part of the show, especially since in years past I've seen the women of TNA make some great matches last a long time, and great feuds make me think that there was hope in pro-wrestling.

Mickie James defeated Madison Rayne, Sarita, and some other chick, I forget.

Matt Morgan and Rob Terry squared off next and it was a short match with Rob Terry getting completely buried. Terry was once part of a good feud with Orlando Jordan, that was cut short and then never revisited. Morgan was just in the title match, and now? He's getting the win over Terry with relative ease. The Carbon Footprint hit Terry square in the head and this match was over. One of the worst matches I've seen on Impact in a long time.

Matt Morgan defeated Rob Terry

After them match the worst wrestlers in the world Abyss tried to beat up Morgan only to get dropped with a discus clothesline. Terry got up and he was hit with a sidewalk slam. I don't care, you don't care, Matt Morgan still sucks.

The X-Division title match was ok at best. I know that these two can put together a good overall match, but given the short time, this match wasn't all that great. There were some good spots, and Jay Lethal seemed to be out of sorts here. Kaz would get the win with, you guessed it, a roll up. I remember when the title meant something, now it's just a throwaway match in the middle of a boring show.

Kaz defeated Jay Lethal

Jarrett and Karen were in the ring and they prompted Kurt Angle to come to the ring, and Jarrett beat him up and that was that. I hope Angle gets some revenge...because this is getting tiring, and I guess that's the point.

Dreamer still has a job? Tommy Dreamer was looking tired, and hurt. Jeff Hardy easily steam rolled through Tommy and that was that. He hit his moves, and pinned the former ECW champion.

Jeff Hardy defeated Tommy Dreamer

Beer Money had an interesting match with RVD & Ken Anderson, and it wasn't terrible. It wasn't an amazing match, but it had some nice pacing, and given a good amount of time. The match really got interesting when Jeff Hardy tried to interfere, prompting Matt Hardy to run in and hit the Twist of Hate and join Immortal. Matt Hardy is fat. The match was over fast, and well, Beer Money wins again.

Beer Money defeated RVD & Ken Anderson

Bully Ray beat up Devon, and that was that.

Kurt Angle came to the ring and was beat up by Immortal. The end of the show was Kurt Angle getting completely killed, that was that. I don't know what's going on, but this is so stupid.

Abyss came out and he had Janice stuck to his back.

Out of the dust came out none other than, Grimson or something? He said "THEY'RE Coming" and that was that. What a terrible night of wrestling, what a terrible story line. They're coming? Again? Lame.

TNA Impact 12/16/10 Review

Matt Morgan and Ken Anderson had some altercation...it was stupid. Jeff Hardy came out and cut a stupid promo and he sounded like he was on drugs. He kept rambling or something, I don't know, I was just tired, and sleepy, so I went to make a sandwich. I later came back and the 3 idiots were still having their opening, and that was that.

The first match on card was none other than the X Division title match.

Jay Lethal defeated Robbie E to win the X-Division Title

Despite Robbie E being a heel, the announcers were positive on him for some weird reason. It was stupid to have the commentators high on Robbie E one minute, and then immediately goes into stupidity.

The match started and Cookie was interfering from the start, but out ran Christy Hemme and handcuffed herself to Cookie! Yep! So now the match would just be the two wrestlers and not the manager and the wrestler, which is a great thing. Lethal's combinations and elbow drop from the top rope was great, even if RObbie kicked out. Robbie took to the top rope at one point and was caught by Lethal and he hit a very very nice superplex. This match was actually starting to gain steam and for once in recent times, I loved it. Cookie tried to hand some spray into the ring, but Hemme stopped her, and Lethal hit the Lethal Injection and Robbie E loses the belt to Lethal! Not a four star classic, but one of the best matches I've seen in a long time. Letal and Hemme look cute together, and dare I say, Hemme is hot.

There was a great deal of backstage segments between matches. There was some interview segments, some interesting different points of interest, nothing too fascinating, and then Douglas Williams got beat up by Aj Styles in the women's locker room. It looked bad. Williams was knocked out cold, and he eventually left. Erik Young and Orlando Jordan did a bunch of weird segments too, it was gross.

Erik Young & Orlando Jordan defeated Generation Me

Any momentum that Tna Impact had going into this tag team match up, was lost when this match happened. This match was lopsided and was terrible. Orlando Jordan won the match with a submission and he was dressed up as a hooters girl, I kid you not. Generation Me is buried here, and just jobbed out for no apparent reason. It was terrible.

Tara & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Miss Testmaker

This was a terrible match, but it had an interesting continuation of the Tara and Mickie feud. Mickie James was knocked out cold, and eventually lost the match. It was terrible.

Rob Terry is back, and he said screw you to Kaz. It was interesting, as they might be able to build up into a feud.

Bubba Ray Dudley defeated Amazing Red

Amazing Red was completely buried here, or not completely. Red was able to get in a little bit of offense, but he's being wasted here. He got obliterated by Bubba then afterwards he was getting beat up too.

Notice that there is no follow up with Shark Boy, even though he was at the ppv.

Devon came out and saved Amazing Red.

RVD defeated Rob Terry

Despite having a nice back and forth match, and despite my love for RVD in the past, this match wasn't his best. Rob Terry returning didn't get the job done as RVD put on his four moves of doom and hit the frog splash and won this match. Rob Terry got in a lot of great moves, but RVD no sold a lot of it, which was stupid to me. Oh well.

I liked Rob Terry and Orlando Jordans feud set up earlier this year, but they dropped the ball on all levels, and this match was just a throwaway. Let's hope they go back to that earlier feud or else, I'm going back to sleep.

Jeff Jarrett beat up some random idiot from the crowd. It was sad. Jarrett needs to get completely killed by someone.

Jeff Hardy & Kaz defeated Ken Anderson & Matt Morgan

This match actually had some good points to it. Anderson, despite playing up his injury, was in there like a house on fire. He was able to throw in some great offense, and Matt Morgan also had a lot of great points. He hit a huge leg drop towards the end of the match, and was able to help Anderson carry this match. Hardy looked drunk, Kaz was a sidenote. A ref bump set up Anderson going to the top rope, but he was thrown off by Rob Terry! Terry turns heel?!? The twist of Hate was hit and the ref counted 3! The bad guys win again.

This match sucked, this match was stupid, but no, there was a swerve heel turn and Rob Terry turned heel!

TNA Impact wasn't as bad as past weeks. I liked the opening match a lot, the end was ok too. I don't agree with Anderson needing to be busted open, but he looked good in this match and so was Morgan. I finally enjoyed watching TNA, even if it wasn't their best offering.

Lastly, I ask any reader out there that uses amazon online to utilize the links on the site to purchase TNA or WWE goods. Thank You.

TNA Final Resolution 2010 Review

Beer Money defeated Ink Inc

Not exactly what I would've expected from the opening match at a ppv, but this match haed a few moments of good overall amount of wrestling. I liked the chemistry in ring, but I didn't care for the lack of storyline here. Beer Money would eventually get the pin, and that was that. It was a forgettable match up.

Tara defeated Mickie James in a falls count anywhere match

I've seen a lot of "Falls Count Anywhere" matches, and some of them have been good. I've seen some terrible matches with the stipulation as well, and this match was the worst of them all. The worst women's wrestling match I've ever seen, seriously, this match was stupid. It went throughout a great deal of the arena, and the two just brawled, straight into the toilet! There was a guy reading the paper at one point, that was kind of funny, but other than that, this was stupid, the worst match I've seen in a long time. Madison Rayne was in one of the stalls and used a fire extinguisher to help Tara win the match up. Terrible Terrible match...Mickie James gets pinned on the men's room floor!

Robbie E defeated Jay Lethal w/ Cookie In A Cage Above Ringside via disqualification

Robbie E and Jay Lethal can string across a watchable match, despite the lame gimmick. I liked the match for what it was, and there were some nice back and forth moments. Lethal's offense complimented Robbie's style from time to time, and it was interesting to see Cookie above the ring in a cage as a nice throwback to the old school wrestling. At one point, Jay Lethal crashed into Robbie E and this match turned bad. Robbie E was thrown a chain then some hair spray and Jay Lethal was disqualified Lethal for using some hairspray...yep...dq finish.

Out of nowhere, Shark Boy came out. That's right, Shark Boy came out. Shark Boy got slapped by Cookie, but eventually hit a Shark Boy Stunner and that was that.

RVD defeated Rhino in a first blood match

One of the worst matches I've seen on ppv in a while. RVD looked winded within 5 to 10 minutes of this match, Rhino took some offense and gave RVD an ok match up, but overall, this match just wasn't that fun to watch. It was just boring to me. RVD hit a Van Terminator from across the ring and Rhino was busted open, and that was the end of the match up. Yep. RVD wins, and I'm not sure why anyone would care.

Douglas Williams defeated Aj Styles for the Television Title

These two have a good amount of offense, and I think that the two could've made this a four start classic. Instead, this match had a lot of boring moments, and then some of the BEST moves outside the ring I've seen. Doug Williams hit Rolling Chaos on the outside! This match looked like a video game at one point and I was just completely immersed, towards the end of the match. Aj STyles would eventually fall to Williams when Williams hit a Styles Clash on AJ! Doug wins and is the new champion! Not a four star classic, but a good finish, and some nice sequences, hopefully the booking gets better from here on out because Doug Williams has some nice moves in his stable.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Generation Me

I can't believe that these types of matches only happen in TNA, that being said, this was an insane amount of independent style wrestling on a ppv. The two teams fought and hit moves from off teh top rope, off of ladders and a variety of different points, making this spot fest entertaining. THe two really just put on a circus of moves for the tag titles that wasn't half bad, but there were some moments that just seemed too cartoonish for even wrestling. A three star match was found here, and I liked it enough, even if Generation Me didn't win.

Abyss defeated The Pope

THe worst downfall in the history of wrestling has to be the fall of The Black Pope. He was doing quite well going into this February's ppv, and now? He's feuding with the worst wrestler in the world, Abyss in a Casket Match? Ugh. This match was stupid, it was void of anything worth mentioning. This was just stupid, I didn't want to watch it, and when The Pope was chokeslammed into the casket and the lid was shut, I finally cared. Yes, I cared because it was over, and I was hoping NEVER TO SEE THE POPE VS ABYSS AGAIN! What a waste of Pope, and what a terrible wrestler Abyss is...I hate him.

Jeff Jarrett defeated Samoa Joe in a submission match

I didn't think that TNA's ppv could get any worst, than this match happened. Jeff Jarrett and Samoa Joe in a submission match? This was just the worst match I've seen in a long time. I really hated it, and the crowd hated it too. Joe sucks these days, Jarrett sucks too, and I was just tired of this match at various points. Jarrett was going to tap, but the TNA security guys ran down and helped Double J. Jarrett then put an Ankle Lock on Joe and guess what? SAMOA JOE QUIT! That's right, DOUBLE J goes over....ugh..what a bunch of bs.

Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Morgan w/ special guest Ken Anderson

This match had a lot of moments that got me interested, but overall, it just wasn't a great match. Anderson called this thing down the middle, and Morgan had this thing won at several points during the match. Anderson got knocked out of the ring and was down while Morgan pinned Hardy after a Carbon Footprint. Bischoff came down and threw Anderson into a post and Bischoff got a new ref for the match. This thing was headed into no man's land, as Morgan looked poised to lose to Hardy and the cheaters. A new ref was in...Morgan was in control, and there was only 3 minutes left, I pegged Morgan to win, but I kind of senses that I was wrong. Hardy hit a Twist of Hate into a chair and won the match. Yep, Hardy wins again...in one of the worst matches I've seen in a long time. Hardy wins...ugh....TNA Sucks.

Someone buy out Tna.

TNA Impact 11/18/10 Review

Ric Flair went down to the ring and started cutting a promo against Matt Morgan. Morgan and Flair will face off in the main event tonight. So much for that retirement angle for Flair, huh?

Robbie E and Cookie & Generataion Me defeated Velvet Sky & Jay Lethal & The Motor City Machine Guns

This match wasn't exactly very good, it was kind of short. The match was booked so quick that by the time the match played out, you didn't even know what was going on anymore, just a bunch of high spots. I think Jay Lethal was in this match somewhere too....I don't know...such an oddly booked match up.

Jeff Jarrett came down to the ring and did a MMA style gimmick where he was showing "submission" moves against some random idiots.

Samoa Joe then came out and Double J told him that he had to fight some random students.

Samoa Joe defeated Jeff Jarrett's MMA School

Worst match ever.

Jeff Hardy defeated Raven

I used to be the biggest Raven fan. But this match? One of the worst in his career. Hardy barely broke a sweat with his glorified Divas title. Hardy won, that's all you needed to know. Raven is a shell of his former self. Raven circa 1998 and even his WWE run was awesome, this though? Just terrible, completely terrible.

Hogan came out and FIRED Raven. That was that. Raven got fired.

Tommy Dreamer and Rhino fought, then RVD came out and they brawled. I don't care, you don't care.

Abyss vs Shannon Moore (no contest)

One of the worst matches ever. Shannon Moore tried to put on an ok match, but Abyss made this match suck. There was a casket at ringside, and inside the Casket was The Pope! Yep. The Pope interfered and the match was thrown out, that was that. ABYSS sucks, The Pope is now a joke, and Shannon Moore is just getting a pay check at this point. I'm so sick of this company's bad wrestling.

Mickie James defeated Angelina Love

Mickie James sucks. Angelina Love sucks too. I miss the old Knockouts division.

Bubba Ray cut a random promo, it was dumb

Matt Morgan defeated Ric Flair

This match was bad. Ric Flair was completely busted open, Matt Morgan just killed him. It looked bad, it just look completely bad. The ref was knocked out at one point, and eventually counted the three count on Flair.

Douglas Williams turned on Fortune or whatever group he's in. Doug started fighting everyone and that was the end of impact.

TNA Impact 10/14/10 Review

TNA tried to pull a WCW 1996 on the ppv, and you know what? It was one of the biggest lackluster things in a long time, and NO i'm not just jaded on wrestling, it's agreed upon across a lot of podcasts, and wrestling websites.

Abyss, Hogan, Double J and Jarrett all cut promos to start the show off.

They kept talking, but out came Fortune. Flair started to cut a promo about how Fortune is running things.

Flair and Hogan were set to square off, and instead of fighting they hugged! Yep. Fortune is now part of "THEY" too. Wow...so stupid.

OUt came Jeff Hardy, the champ....mind you this is 20 minutes into the show, and no wrestling. Hardy cut a promo, and he didn't have a lot of paint on or anything.

Out came Sting and Kevin Nash.

Kevin Nash got on the mic and cut a "nice guy" promo and said that this time he's NOT going to join "THEY" and just walk away.

Sting got on the mic, and he cut a "nice guy" promo too. Sting walked away too. They just left.

Bischoff got on the mic and said that Sting and Nash would be at home getting FAT, and that's that. 30 minutes of the show was dedicated to "THEY" going off. I remember this same angle 10 years back or so....called the NEW WORLD ORDER. Yep.

Backstage Dixie was asking Sting & Nash to stay, but they walked out. Hogan and Bischoff then confronted Dixie and she slapped the crap out of Bischoff!!!! Wow...backstage...Dixie gave her best performance, and Hogan totally talked her down! Wow. Compelling? Not really, but eh, whatever, I'll take what I can get.

Dixie was thrown out of Hogan's office, and Serj (Dixie's husband) got knocked the EFF out! Hahah. 35 minutes into the show, still no wrestling.

Madison Rayne defeated Tara for the knockouts title

In a "finger poke" of doom match, Tara gave up the belt. Tara laid down for Madison Rayne.

Dare I say, 40 minutes into the show and still NO wrestling.

Mickie James came out and challenged Madison...yawns ensued.

45 minutes and no wrestling.

Kurt Angle came down and cut a promo.

Kurt Angle then got beat down by Double J after he came out and cut a promo on Angle. Angle was handcuffed and beaten and battered, and that was that. Tazz came off the booth and helped Angle, and that was that. Angle's done...Double J has a ruthless streak? That's that...bye bye Angle...I hope he goes to WWE and feuds with the All American, American, American, American, American.

52 minutes and NO wrestling.

We get to see Samoa Joe walking around some beach. He cut a promo on Double J.

So 50+ minutes before we finally get a wrestling match, if you can call it that.

Samoa Joe defeated Abyss via dq

This wasn't much of a match, it was just Abyss dominating Samoa Joe for the most part. Joe did manage an insane move by diving through the middle ropes and taking out Abyss, but other than that, it was just Abyss beating up Samoa Joe. Joe won via dq, and that prompted RVD to come out. Abyss then beat up JOe. But RVD saved the day...kind of.

Ugh...what a terrible night of wrestling.

RVD cut a promo on Hardy. Ugh....

Fortune defeated The Pope

The Pope fought all of Fortune. It's interesting to me that Fortune cheated to win, 5 on 1. Whatever. The Pope got buried, and that's that. I didn't hate the match, and I'm ok with a 5 on 1 beat down, I just wish there was more wrestling on the show.

The Shore had a promo with some chick from the real show...nothing I remembered happened there.

RVD vs Ken Anderson (no contest)

Anderson and RVD put on an ok match for tv. There were some nice reversals from Anderson, but the crowd wasn't at all into this match up. RVD looked winded after 5 or so minutes, and that's just sad. Anderson carried most of the match, even countering the Five Star Frog Splash and Rolling THunder, but it was painfully obvious that this match wasn't going to get a finish...yet again.

Bischoff came down, pulled the ref, and out ran Jeff Hardy. Hardy beat up Anderson and RVD with a chair. Yep. That'sit.

The last moment was awesome.

Hardy hit a Twist of Fate on RVD onto a chair that had Anderson's arm in it. SICK finisher!

TNA is terrible, the non finish matches, the 1 hour of setting up the second half of the show...NO x-division match, no tv title match, no tag team titles match...geez...why even have a wrestling show?

Oh and WHO KIDNAPPED SAMOA JOE??!?!?!?
