WWE 205 Live August 14, 2018 Results and Review

The WWE starts 205 Live, often, with wrestling and this was no doubt a good example.

Lio Rush defeated Akira Tozawa

This was a fast paced match, with few stops, and the two were fighting back and forth in every way. From the top rope, to the bottom rope, to flying around, to submission moves, the two put each other through some great back and forth. However, it was the end of Tozawa when Rush was able to hit the incredible frog splash. He gets an incredible amount of height on that thing, and Tozawa legit had the wind knocked out of him. Rush is the real deal.

Hideo Itami defeated A Jobber

This was a job match, and Itami won, and he kept saying that people should respect him.

Cedric Alexander defeated Jack Gallagher

This was a worthy main event for any show. Gallagher put in a lot of work here, and was able to take Alexander to a limit for sure. However, it was Alexander’s constant fight that turned upside down, and caused serious problems for Gallagher in the end. Jack went into a standing Spanish fly and boom, Gallagher went out cold.

Of course, Gulak and Kendrick would run down and cause a disruption, and that was the end of the show. A good overall night of wrestling, that’s for sure.

WWE 205 Live July 24, 2018 Results and Review

Fatal Four Way Action - Source WWE

The most exciting hour of television is only 45 minutes long.

Akira Tozawa defeated Jack Gallagher

Gallagher was one of my favorite members of the cruiserweight division, but now? Meh. Tozawa was able to garner a win in the opener, and honestly, this was a fun match with some nice back and forth movements. This was not a squash, it was very competitive, but Tozawa would get the win with his Senton which gets so much air, it's impressive. This was fun, and I loved how Tozawa getting the finisher, with great height. Great opening match if you ask me.

Lince Dorado and Kalisto defeated Jobbers

A jobber match. That's it. Another jobber match on WWE tv? Why? Don't they have enough people? Seriously! You know what happened.

Drew Gulak defeated Mustafa Ali, TJP, and Hideo Itami

This was a hard fought match, with a lot of entertainment factors. You have to expect this from the guys on 205 live in 4 way matches. it was fun, and it definitely had a lot of back and forth. At the end of the day, however, it was the slow and methodical pace of Gulak that won this frenetic race. A lot of action here, including a lot of amazing hits with Mustafa getting the worst of it all. Great match, and perhaps the best of this week from WWE.

WWE 205 Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review The C Show Or Something

Gulak Gets The Last Laugh - SRC WWE

205 Live throws the same things at you all the time, and here we go again.

Akira Tozawa defeated Tony Nese

I think Tony Nese is one hell of a wrestler, and yet he doesn’t get too many wins. Akira Tozawa gets through a lot of offense here, but it wasn’t without Nese throwing down either. The two went back and forth going through a lot of different arenas of pushes and got through a great deal of fighting to get to the end. Tozawa would get the win with his finisher, and that was that. Nese was not a slouch here, it was hard hitting.

Lio Rush defeated a Jobber

There wasn’t much to this. Lio Rush won a jobber match, which means there aren’t that many competitors in 205 live? Lame.

Drew Gulak, Jack Gallagher, and The Brian Kendrick defeated The Lucha House Party in an elimination style tag team match

As far as 205 Live is concerned, I feel like I’ve seen these guys wrestle one hundred times already, and that isn’t a good thing. I’m so tired of seeing these guys wrestle, and it’s usually to a similar conclusion. This time around, it was another entertaining match, but I’ve already seen everything that these guys can do against each other, so it bored me for the most part. At the end of the day, the match was won by Drew Gulak and his finisher, and then he killed the piñata in his honor. That was that.

205 Live is now officially the C show for me. Enzo at least brought some great entertainment to this, and this is just boring. No TJP this week, no other players, just boredom if you ask me. Not a great show if you watch this every week, but if you don’t watch it often, it was definitely a good one to watch.

WWE Monday Night Raw June 25, 2018 Results and Review A New Raw A New Boredom Movement

Sasha Banks Flies - src wwe dot com

We are here again, reviewing Raw. I’m sorry if you guys missed me, I was catching up on all the things from Chicago and what not. I was at NXt and Money in The Bank. It was a great thing for me, and needed the break from writing. WWE Monday Night Raw came through San Diego, California and it started with a lot of talking, again.

WWE Monday Night Raw June 25, 2018 Results and Review

The show started with Kurt Angle and Baron Corbin, then they were interrupted by Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley. Kurt Angle couldn’t get a word out without getting interrupted, and of course, this is how Raw always shows up. Angle says that there will not be a multi-man match at Extreme Rules because of Brock Lesnar’s contract issues. I hate that dude. The two dudes were interrupted by The Revival. The Revival showed up and well, they were destined to lose.

The Revival defeated Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns

The Revival was getting a beat down throughout the match, but they came together to get a few shots in against the makeshift duo. There was a bit of strife amidst the two, and what seemed like an easy win for the two powerhouses, turned bad when The Revival was able to get a pin, with a handful of tights. Not a bad match at all. The two were able to work together until the end, and that was that.

Curtis Axel defeated Woken Matt Hardy

I have no idea what this was all about. Curtis Axel was able to beat Hardy, in a fast match. Like so fast, that it wasn’t much of a match at all. Hardy slipped or something, Axel fell on him and it was over.

The Authors of Pain defeated Jobbers

A job match! That’s it. The Authors of Pain win.

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James came out and started talking as per usual. Nothing crazy I guess. It was ok. Bliss then got interrupted by Natalya, and that led to the two women getting a singles match.

Natalya defeated Alexa Bliss

This was a fast paced match, with a few botches. Natalya was able to get the win after some back and forth action, mainly because Nia Jax helped her cheat. After Bliss was tripped by Jax, Natalya slapped on the sharpshooter and made Bliss tap.

The Riott Squad interrupted a photo shoot of Jinder Mahal and broke a camera. That was kind of funny, I liked it. They are so punk, aren’t they? Note the sarcasm.

The Riott Squad defeated Sasha Banks, Bayley, and Ember Moon

This was your standard six man tag, and it was somewhat short. There was a lot of action early on, and then a distraction roll up and that was that. The women cleared the ring, with the exception of Bayley and Sasha. Bayley lost it, and started to beat the hell out of Sasha Banks. She even said that Sasha wasn’t SHIT! I loved it. It’s about time! The crowd went nuts for this, and I did too, Bayley needs a mean streak.

Kevin Owens and Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor and Baron Corbin by Countout

Strowman and Owens made for a good team, and beat up the competition for the most part. Balor and Corbin couldn’t get along after some time, and end up losing via countout when they were outside fighting one another.

After the match, Kevin Owens wanted to befriend Strowman, so he ran and that was that, for a moment. So Kevin Owens runs outside and tries to leave, but he finds out that his car was tipped over by Strowman. Yep.

Mojo Rawley refused to fight No Way Jose

Yep that’s it.

Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler by DQ

This was a good 30 minute match, but guess what? Ziggler would end up keeping the title when Drew McIntyre pulled the ref and caused the disqualification. Overall, this was a fun match, and there was a lot of back and forth. This was a great match, and it was definitely going to be something that Rollins could’ve won, if it weren’t for McIntyre coming in. This was a great main event, and would eventually get Roman Reigns running in to help Rollins. Overall, however, the match was great, and despite the DQ finish, it was worthy of the main event of Raw.

I’ve read a lot of negative things about Monday Night Raw. I’m not in that camp. This was a fun show, and had a great main event. There was a lot to offer here, and while there were a few highs and lows, the offering was good. I didn’t like that they didn’t have Elias in there, he should’ve cost Rollins the match, but oh well. It was an OK night of wrestling at best.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 30, 2018 Results and Review Too Many Hours

Flight of Rollins - Src WWE

Well, sometimes I want to publish reviews on time, and there are a lot of things that get in my way. This week, a lot of work had to get done, and I didn’t have enough time to write all the reviews that I wanted to write, so they had to wait until now. So here we go, a full rundown of Raw, Smakcdown, and NXT done in 3 consecutive posts, because I didn’t have time to just do one sit down solution. Oh and I’ll review 205 Live as well, all in one sitting, because I saw them all at once, and I’m late on posting this today.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 30, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of Raw saw The Big Dog show up and stink up the yard. He talked about his loss to Lesnar and how it was lame, or whatever. I don’t know, I don’t pay much attention to what Roman Reigns says.

Elias defeated Bobby Roode

A good back and forth match was being had here, especially after Elias did a little singing. But of course, Roode would interfere with the performance, and the two would battle in a good television match, but there was a weird ending in which Roode was thrown into the post and pretended it hit his larynx but it didn’t, and the replay showed that, it was laughable to me. Elias would get the win because the match stopped.

The Authors of Pain defeated Two Jobbers

This was done fast, the Authors of Pain beat up two jobbers and that was that.

Ruby Riott defeated Sasha Banks

Ruby Riott is really good on the mic, she’s a great wrestler, and she put Sasha Banks through the ringer, eventually picking up a win thanks to her buddies. Either way, this was a fun match, and I loved watching it go down. Riott is so much fun inside the ring, and I can’t wait to see more of her in action. Plus, she’s from Indiana, so what’s up! I’d love to meet her.

Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Jinder Mahal

Oh, I forgot about this note earlier. The opening had Owens, Zayn and Mahal show up and give Reigns a beat down before he got saved by Lashley and Strowman. Yeah, logic got thrown out the window for this one. Roman Reigns and his team of good guys beat down Owens, Zayn, and Mahal, even though the Montreal crowd was going nuts for them the whole time. I couldn’t believe how this all was going down, and well, you knew what was going to happen, as they wouldn’t let the faces get a loss here, even though they should’ve lost.

No Way Jose defeated Baron Corbin

This was a lackluster wrestling match, with Corbin getting a pinfall loss against Jose. I didn’t hate it, mind you, but it wasn’t good, and No Way Jose had to get a quick roll up.

Natalya defeated Mickie James

This had Ronda Rousey come out with Natalya and the match wasn’t too good, but it sufficed to have a few minutes of action. Natalya won, but it wasn’t that great, and it was forgettable to me. Ronda Rousey is going to need to get into the ring again, and it will most likely be against Mickie James and Alexa Bliss.

Seth Rollins defeated Finn Balor in the Intercontinental Championship Match

This was a fast paced match and the two threw down everything they had. I loved Balor’s shotgun dropkicks, and Rollins constant flow with his moves, with the crowd going insane at everything that the two were doing. Even though Balor threw in a great push, and Rollins was able to garner a great deal of moves, it wasn’t meant for Balor to win here and he lost yet again. Rollins would get the victory and that was that.

Overall, Raw wasn’t that great. It had some great moments, like that final match, and the Miztourage trying to get Balor and Rollins to let them join their team. It was funny.

WWE 205 Live April 17, 2018 Results and Review The Weight Problem

Stereo Dives - Source WWE 

205 Live is a bastard child of the WWE at this point, and while this show was good, it doesn’t get nearly the same promotional consideration that the other shows get. That’s sad, considering the talent that comes through this brand.

WWE 205 Live April 17, 2018 Results and Review

Mustafa Ali defeated Ariya Daivari

I thought for sure Ariya Daivari had Mustafa Ali’s number here, but nope, Ali wins again. The match was stellar, but I can’t stand how they book Ali sometimes. He should be selling from Wrestlemania’s loss, and should be slightly distracted, and shouldn’t kick out of Daivari’s finisher. But then again, Daivari must be learning or something because Ali got the win, even if it was logical. The 054 splash hit and Ali gets another hard fought victory. I miss the ZO Train.

Buddy Murphy Doesn’t Make Weight

Buddy Murphy was 2 pounds over, who gives a crap!?! So now we get a gauntlet match for next week’s show. Ok.

Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick defeated Jobbers

There wasn’t much to this, it was just jobbers getting beat up.

Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik defeated Akira Tozawa and Hideo Itami in a Tornado Tag Team Match

I haven’t seen one of these in a while and it didn’t disappoint. The match was back and forth, with lots of action, lots of high flying, and counters. The lucha guys were able to get a win with some killer moves from the top to end it all, but it was a fast paced, flurried match with a lot to offer critics. I found it fund, and was loving every minute. A great way to end 205 Live that’s for sure.

WWE Monday Night Raw March 26, 2018 Results and Review The Big Dumb Machine

Cena With An AA Into A Table - SRC wwe.com 

After watching 4 hours plus of New Japan, I had high hopes for WWE. I was invigorated by the raw wrestling that was found on the New Japan Show, but here, wow, this was not the same at all. I was tired, and while the show wasn’t 4 hours, it felt like 9 hours long and it was definitely awful at times. Let’s discuss how good or bad the night aw.

WWE Monday Night Raw March 26, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with the tired old speech of Paul Heyman. I am tired of him. He was in the ring talking up Brock Lesnar, and talking smack about how Roman Reigns wasn’t there. Roman Reigns then showed up and tried to knock out Lesnar, but it was not to be. Lesnar beat the bricks out of Roman Reigns yet again and was in the middle standing tall. That’s it. Lesnar was tall with the dumb red belt, and that was the end.

Nia Jax defeated Mickie James

This was a quick match, not like most other girls’ matches! Nia Jax beats down Mickie James in a few moves, and then Alexa Bliss showed up to try and beat her up, but to no avail. This was a simple match with not a lot to it, and James just basically got beat down.

Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak and JTP

This was a fast match. It was so fast, that if you wen to the bathroom, you missed this match. This was a match that had a great deal of back and forth, and it was finished quickly with Mustafa Ali stealing a pin that was supposed to be made for Alexander. There wasn’t much to this match, and like I said, it was very short.

Asuka defeated Jamie Frost

Asuka knocked out a jobber.

Matt Hardy came on the screen and said he’d be in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Sasha Banks and Bayley Backstage

This was dumb. Sasha Banks and Bayley were in front of some lockers and they talked, only to have Sasha Banks turn on her, and the two brawled with referees coming to separate them. That’s the end of that friendship, right? I guess so.

Braun Strowman defeated Sheamus

Sheamus is supposed to be wrestling with spinal stenosis and yet here he is going toe to toe with Braun Strowman. This was a boring back and forth match, until Strowman ended up hulking up, so to speak and getting the big powerslam and that’s it. Good for him.

Absolution Confronted Ronda Rousey

This was dumb. Absolution showed up and tried to get in the ring, but Ronda nearly pulled out Mandy Rose’s arm, and that’s that.

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated The Miztourage

This was a boring match. It was so boring that I almost fell asleep. The Miztourage are nothing but jobbers, and looked like they weren’t on the same team here. The Club Sandwhich boys win big and that’s it.

Elias defeated Rhyno

Guess who won here? Rhyno loses, and Elias kicks his partner afterwards too. Elias sang a cool song at first, but man, he just rolled through the jobber, Rhyno at this point.

John Cena defeated Kane in a NO DQ Match

This was a slow moving match, but Kane was able to knock out Cena several times. The two were able to go back and forth in and out of the ring, and it was a nice street fight so to speak. There were a few table breaks, a guard rail suplex, and then an AA through a table for the end result. Kane loses here, and it was an entertaining match, that ended without an Undertaker appearance overall.

MIZ TV happened mid-show, and it was good. It had me thinking that the Miztourage were breaking up, but alas, that wasn’t meant to be at all. It’s something that is quite fascinating to look into, that’s for sure. Could that be something for the future? I don’t know. Miz had Finn Balor and Seth Rollins as guests, and that was that. Nothing to see here folks, lol.

Overall, Raw was a labor to watch compared to NJPW’s show from Sunday. It was fun to watch that show, this wasn’t fun to watch, it was labored and boring. I’m not ready for Wrestlemania, I’m ready to get past it, even though I will be at Money In The Bank and All In when it goes down in Chicago!

WWE 205 Live Results and Review

Drew Gulak defeated Mark Andrews

This was a fight, a real fight. Andrews was able to turn things up with his high flying, but Gulak was fighting hardcore. He fought through a lot of Gulak’s technical tactics, but would eventually miss a high spot and then get thrown into a hard dragon sleeper for the win. Gulak, before the match cut a “Power Point” presentation name drop and I was marking out huge. This was good, and that’s that. Great match.

Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa defeated Two Jobbers

The WWE site has put the names of these two jobbers, but I didn’t want to type it out. Itami and Tozawa are fluid in the ring and I was surprised to see how well they worked together. They put the jobbers through some nice moments, and at this point, I see them getting the belts if the rumored tag team match is true.

Mustafa Ali defeated Buddy Murphy

This was one hell of a match. Ali did his usual spots, but Buddy Murphy was one step ahead for the majority of the match. Go and watch this and see two performers that were evenly matched with one just faster than the other. Murphy was just so good against Ali, and it brought the best out of Ali throughout. At the end of the match, it was Murphy that would lose because he had a shoulder issue that Ali kept going back to. I was impressed with the counters during this match, and honestly, you can’t sleep on this, it was that good. An incredible show ender, and I would go back and see it again.

That’s the end of 205 Live, and great stuff. Next week we will have Roderick Strong and Cedric Alexander will throw down for an incredible showcase as well.

450 Inverted Splash - SRC wwe dot com

The 205 Live Brand has changed since HHH took over. If the rumors are true, he’s throwing in a show that features far more work rate, and it’s fascinating to see how it changed. I do miss Enzo Amore and the Zo Train, but honestly, there’s a lot of great elements here with the transitions. This time around, we had a great deal of wrestling, and more progression in the Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, leading to Wrestlemania.

WWE 206 Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review

Buddy Murphy defeated Ariya Daivari

The opening match had a back and forth sequencing to it that wasn’t half bad. Buddy Murphy was faster than Daivari at different points, but Ariya didn’t just let himself get pushed over. He hit a great deal of his moves, but it was Murphy’s rough and tumble process of wrestling that would garner the success in this one, and Daivari got pinned. The ending sequence is something to behold as this was a great overall match.

Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik defeated Evan Daniels and Corazon Delgado

This was a job match, and the mainstay Lucha Guys beat down the other guys, and that’s that. A burial.

Mustafa Ali defeated Gentleman Jack Gallagher

This match didn’t make much sense to me, Ali took so much punishment that he shouldn’t have been able to do some of the moves that he threw down. At one point, it even looked like he took a bad spill, and was out cold. Gallagher was able to win several times, and I found his offense a bit more crisp than when he was just comedic in character. Ali, despite a shoulder focused beat down, pulled out the inverted 450 splash and he’d win. It was great to see, and he pulled off one hell of a win as Gallagher once again loses.

That’s the end of this night of wrestling, and it was a purist’s wrestling showcase. I liked it, and you should definitely check it out, as it has a great deal of focus on the work of the cruiserweights. Not as good as WCW, but still a good night of wrestling if you ask me.

Tamina vs Charlotte Flair - SRC wwe dot com

The showcase of the immortals was in San Diego, and it wasn’t that fun to watch, unless you loved the teams and random action. I thought the show flowed well, but there is definitely a lackluster element to this week’s show. However, I did like a few things here and there. Once again, I’m reviewing the HULU version, since I’m on the road in Las Vegas.

WWE Smackdown Live December 5, 2017 Results and Review

The starting line of the show was Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn going to the ring and cutting a promo, only to get Randy Orton to show up and hit Owens with an RKO, out of nowhere. That led to Shane McMahon showing up and talking about the show, and the match that will take place in the main event. We’ll go forward.

Rusev and Aiden English defeated The New Day

The New Day came out throwing around pancakes into the crowd, I kid you not. They were throwing pancakes out, and it wasn’t half bad. The match was ok, it wasn’t incredible, but it didn’t suck either. Rusev and Aiden English did manage to fight a better option than the New Day and would even get a nice win for their trouble. They will be added to the Tag Team title match at the next PPV, so it will be quite interesting overall to see how everything goes down.

Bobby Roode defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

This was a lousy match, and I didn’t like it at all. Roode was going through simple motions, but it was Dolph Ziggler that interfered and caused the match to get thrown out. The match was ok, the guys are good in singles matches sometimes, but this was obviously just to setup a triple threat match for the PPV. I’m sure the match will be good, but you’ll probably see Ziggler lose again, as per usual.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Adam James and Josh Carr

This was a burial of two jobbers. Nothing else.

Charlotte Flair defeated Tamina

The commentary team kept saying that Tamina was the strongest woman in the WWE, and well, she wasn’t. Charlotte Flair got the win here, and that’s really all you need to know. It was a boring match to say the least.

Randy Orton defeated Sami Zayn

Kevin Owens was handcuffed at ringside. It was funny to see him squirm for the most part, and well it seemed like he wasn’t going to be there for long. He kept fighting it, but eventually had to or he’d be suspended. Well, eventually Zayn brought out some wire cutters and that prompted Owens to get free, and help Zayn, only for Orton to get the upper hand anyways, and get the big win. Orton would win, Zayn would lose, and that was that.

After the match, they announced that Shane McMahon would be the special guest referee for a tag match which would feature Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton versus Owens and Zayn, and if the duo didn’t win, they’d be fired.

That was a result of Shinsuke Nakamura running down to the ring and saving Orton from a beat down.

Overall, not a great night of wrestling, but not the worst night either. It was a quick show, and it ended well enough, but I feel like there’s so many other talents on the roster that you don’t see, like the Perfect 10? What about Mike Kinellis? Where’s Everyone else?

Tony Nese defeated Tj Perkins

Nese is a star, he’s the total package if you ask me. He’s muscular and he’s athletic, and has a personality to boot. He shouldn’t be stuck in 205 hell, he should be on the Raw or Smackdown show doing his thing. Tj Perkins is great too. He put on a show here, but it was Nese that got the better of him with a mix of strong style and high flying. I’m a fan of Tony Nese thus far, and Perkins has an upside too. I hope they continue to give them time to wrestle, rather than 2 minute matches on Raw.

Akira Tozawa defeated Jobber

Tozawa beat up a jobber, nothing special.

Austin Aries interviewed himself

Aries is great on the mic, but I’m not convinced he’s that grand.

Neville defeated Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali! What a competitor. This guy is the shining star of NXT and boy, he put on a show. Neville was great too, but Mustafa Ali should be on Raw or Smackdown doing great things. He has all of the moves, all of the timing, and incredible elements that make a good wrestler. Go back and watch this match just for the suplexes, and the high flying elements that

WWE Smackdown Live October 11, 2016 Review

Dolph Ziggler def. The Spirit Squad

Word on the street is that The Spirit Squad are staying in the WWE for a while. You have to remember that the guys are very young, so they have a lot of bumps to take in wrestling. As for this match, it was dumb. I don’t like a single wrestler beating a tag team, but I guess this worked. The Miz cut a great promo before, and then beat up Dolph on his way out. I hope this doesn’t lead to more matches between these guys, as I’m sick of seeing them wrestle by now.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Naomi def. Carmella

Not a great match, and you know what? It smells of “DIVAS” division.

Jimmy Uso def. Chad Gable

Boring match, nothing great here. I fell asleep.

James Ellsworth def. AJ Styles with Dean Ambrose as guest referee

Dean Ambrose finally makes the antics work as he was the guest referee for this match up. James Ellsworth is getting some great time on Smackdown, to the detriment of others, but good for him! 14 years in the business, and he is on Smackdown, pinning the champion! That’s right, he pinned Styles and will now get a title shot next week. He’ll lose, but what a rush for James Ellsworth!

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper def. Randy Orton & Kane

Another boring match that I didn’t care about. Oh well. Kane sucks, Orton is stale, and the Wyatts don’t usually win much.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

At the end of the day, Smackdown and Raw were weak shows. Without a ppv for about 7 weeks, Smackdown will get relegated to the B show in my book. This night was boring to me, and well, who cares, right?

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/27/10 Review

Kane defeated Rey Mysterio

This match sucked. I'm sick of seeing Rey Mysterio buried, I'm sick of seeing sucky ass Kane winning, and I'm sick of the Undertaker feud. This match was ok at best, but it was just another rehashing of matches that they previously had. This sucks.

Alberto Del Rio beat up Rey Mysterio after the match. I like him, he's a great heel at this point, someone you'd pay to see get beaten up.

CM Punk defeated JTG

This was an overtly easy match for Punk. Punk beat JTG without even trying very hard. Punk hit the Anaconda Vice on JTG and made him tap. I didn't hate this match, but I knew it was a squash.

Oh and by the way, Sarena is fired from WWE, I'll miss her big boobs on my screen every friday.

Kofi Kingston defeated Dolph Ziggler via countout

This was stupid. Yes, there were some great spots in this match, and yes these guys work well together, but I've already seen this match several times before. I didn't reallys ee the point of seeing it again, especially since I no longer care. This match eventually broke down with some impact and Dolph Ziggler lost via count out. NOt an epic, but I guess it worked for what it was. I am sick of this feud.

Jack Swagger defeated MVP via disqualification

This match was going relatively well, good back and forth action, with some nice moments, but then it went to hell. MVP apparently hit Swagger with a punch that caused him to lose the match. This was supposed to be a real "wrestling" match, but instead it was just stupid. WWE is just phoning it in at this point, it's painfully obvious.

ALberto Del Rio defeated Jobber #993

I hate jobber matches. This is what it was. It was a jobber match. I think he has a lot of talent, but until he's in a good feud, this is just stupid.

The Big Show defeated Luke gallows

This was a throwaway match. Luke Gallows went down fast with a punch to the face. I hated it. Big Show is tough, but does anyone care about this crap? I don't.

The end of the show was Kane and Undertaker talking back and forth and you know what? I don't give a flying you know what...who cares? These guys have already wrestled a million times, and they both suck now, so let's stop rehashing old storylines!

Smackdown completely sucked this week, and dare I say was WORST than TNA IMPACT. There I said it. WWE is phoning it in badly.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 8/13/10 Review

The last Smackdown before what looks to be one o the worst Summerslams in recent history, had to be good right? I don't know, I'm so tired of wrestling, yet I can't help myself from watching it.

No ROH review this week, because I couldn't find a source to watch it. That's about it.

Dolph Ziggler was out with Vickie Guerrero and she was the mic piece for Ziggler. It was boring, and Teddy Long said that Ziggler would face kofi at the ppv for the Intercontinental Title.

Then we got a promo for Rey Mysterio and Kane, spliced with the Undertaker.

Then we got a glorified squash match.

Kane defeated Kofi Kingston

Kane beat down Kofi left and right in this match. The big red machine was ALL over Kofi, and Kingston just got beat at all levels. Kane eventually hit the Tombstone and that was that. Goodbye Kofi.

Dashing Cody Rhodes defeated Christian

Christian worked Cody at every angle here, and was getting the majority of the offense...and you'll never guess how this match ended...yep! Cody threw Christian into the ring post and then hit Cross Rhodes and won the match. Christian is the Denzel Washington of Wrestling.

What?

Well Denzel always plays cops/detectives...and Christian? He always gets thrown into the post and loses.

Ok, a terrible comparison.

The Big Show defeated Three Jobbers

The Big Show beat three jobbers. This was stupid.

Drew McIntyre defeated Fat Ass Matt Hardy

I've seen this match before, and it was better. This match was slow, and featured some minor botches. I didn't care about this match, you didn't care either, and it was over before I could even really understand why Fat Ass Matt Hardy keeps showing up on Smackdown. Drew still sucks. Matt is terrible. Ok, so there were some nice hits, but after Drew stomped Hardy's leg in the ring steps this match really hit a new low. Hardy lost to Drew McIntyre, hopefully they fire him.

Jack Swagger defeated MVP

MVP hasn't been good in a long time, and somehow, by some miracle he was able to beat Jack Swagger. Swagger looked strong throughout the match, MVP wasn't on his top game, and after some standard offense from Swagger, MVP rolled him up out of nowhere and that was that. Another throwaway match.

Rey Mysterio defeated Dolph Ziggler

I've seen these guys put on a 5 star match last year, so I was expecting way more out of this one. This match was NOT as good as their Intercontinental battle from last year (the first one). I think it was at Night of Champions. Rey Mysterio won this match after getting beat up throughout the match. Rey would eventually win in standard fashion with a roll up. I don't understand why they would bury Ziggler's title with a win from Mysterio.

Post match, Kane jumped out of a casket and tried to beat up Mysterio, and that was that.

Mysterio hit Kane and he fell into a casket.

Whatever....who cares.

Terrible night of wrestling, terrible week of wrestling, maybe Summerslam will be good....maybe.

Chris Jericho defeated Yoshi Tatsu

WWE Superstars 7/15/10 Review

I remember wanting to get up early on weekends to watch cartoons then eat sugary cereal and then watch WWF Challenge or WWF Superstars at noon on regular television. The latest incarnation of Superstars really is somewhat like that, only in that it shares the name and style. The show is just wrestling, and not a whole lot of storyline, which isn't too bad, but it lacks the enthusiasm that the other shows had. I for one, am not as enthused each Thursday to watch and review 3 hours of wrestling, but I somehow continue to do so, and sometimes, I wonder why. Here are my thoughts on Superstars for this week.

Chavo Guerrero defeated JTG

JTG is way over in comparison to Shad Gaspar. Remember, it was Shad's time? Yeah, well JTG seemed to have the gimmick and the legs to continue being featured on WWE tv. This match seemed odd, two lower card guys opening television? I guess. I like Chavo, but no one else seems to like him, and he's still pushing that “Chavito Heat” type of gimmick. It only worked because of his Uncle Eddie, and he needs an update. JTG and Chavo exchanged momentum in this match up, and both men had unique points of interest, and I wasn't sure who'd actually win this one. I could make arguments for each man winning, but after some botches and some obvious “light hits” it seemed obvious to me that Chavo had the upper hand. Chavo ended up winning with the Frog Splash and that was that.

Not exactly a great match, but I guess it's nice to see Chavo getting a win, even if the fan fare was chimed in during post production.

Curt Hawkins and Vance Archer defeated Jobbers

This was stupid, and while I loved the classic jobbers from yesteryear in WCW and WWF, I don't care for them anymore. The jobbers got beat up and that was that. Hawkins and Archer is the worst team in WWE right now, and this match made me care even less about them. Your typical jobber match, that's about it.

The Bella Twins defeated Jillian & Maryse

This match sucked. The divas are the worst example of women's wrestling ever. The match had a lot of Blonde action, with both Maryse and Jillian taking control of the Bellas at different points in this match up. The Twins switched places during the match, a roll up worked and the Bellas win another match up. This was boring, and really only further proves that the divas suck. A funny moment in the match was when Jillian and Maryse tried to do the switch.

Chris Jericho defeated Yoshi Tatsu

Yoshi gave Chris Jericho a good fight, and the contrast of styles was definitely working towards making this match a great main event for Superstars. The match had Tatsu looking strong throughout and when he almost got to the ropes during the Walls of Jericho, I thought for sure this match would have Jericho once again losing. Tatsu kept in there and looking like he was going to win this one, but nope, the veteran managed to get the submission win and that was that. Jericho wins a very competitive and dare I say, entertaining main event match.

Superstars was actually good this week. No, not great, but the main event and opening matches were well enough that I actually was entertained.

Yoshi Tatsu & Goldust defeated Trent Berretta and Croft

Shelton Benjamin defeated Vance Archer in a falls count anywhere match

Ecw on SyFy 2/8/10 Review

The show opened up with Tiffany talking about how the roster will be split up by getting drafted to different shows.

Yoshi Tatsu & Goldust defeated Trent Berretta and Croft

This match was given some time and the most impressive guy was definitely Yoshi. He has some great wrestling timing, and he put on a good show. I don’t think his kicks look amazing, nor did his pin really look too legit, but I liked it as something important to check out. Apparently they are going to get a shot at the tag team championship! That’ll be interesting to see. Croft and Berretta (however you spell it) suck.

Ezekiel Jackson defeated Perry Wallace

This was just a jobber match. Ezekiel rolled through some random idiot. There wasn’t much to talk about here.

Shelton Benjamin cut a lame promo. He still doesn’t have mic skills, after all these years.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Vance Archer in a falls count anywhere match

This match wasn’t terrible by any stretch of the word. The two really put on a good heavy hitting match up. Shelton was busted open the hard way, and Archer seemed strong when using the outside to his advantage. Benjamin fought back and was able to slay the newcomer after a hard fought battle.

Final Thoughts

What can I say, I seemed to be counting down the days until this show is done…it kind of sucks…just sayin.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown 1/1/09 Results and Review First Smackdown of 2010

We are in a new year, and with that comes another year of wrestling updates here on the site that only 3 people read. I’ve redone the template, I’ve removed 6 ad spots, I’ve improved the loading time, and I will be working on some subtle things. I have now installed an “amazon” tower in the sidebar of this site. If you ever feel like helping me out, please buy something. I’m in the middle of trying to figure out what to do about my cable television or switching to direct tv for a year, because my last cable bill was nearly $100! This site does not pay me, and without a job (still) I’m having a hard time getting wrestling in the long term. Until then, I still am working hard to bring you this blog. The goal for Sir Jorge’s WWE Blog is to get a DOT COM, but that might not happen, since that was the goal for this site since I started it in 2007.

Also, I’m going to try and be a little more in depth in my reviews, but we’ll see what happens.

Lastly, before the results and review, please leave comments. There’s not much else I can ask for but comments. If you’re reading the site, give me feedback, and I’ll try in this new year to comment back and have a “blog post” called “COMMENTS” and we can have a discussion. Maybe I’ll even start a podcast…we’ll see.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review 1/1/09 Review

The show opened up with C.M Punk and Luke Gallows coming down the stage to a chorus of boo’s. C.M Punk is golden on the mic, he doesn’t seem to be trying hard at all, at least it doesn’t feel that way from my perspective. He started to make fun of people at ringside, and talked about resolutions. C.M Punk said and I loved the quote, “I Will Beat Everyone Up in this Arena if I have to!” that was the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. Punk said that next week he’s going to save someone from the audience and go city by city and save people.

This is a great thing, if you think about it. Punk could be growing a stable, can you imagine that, a real stable in 2010? It’s like Raven’s Flock all over again! I hope it really does go that way. You might also notice that Punk dropped names like “Youth of Today” and “Minor Threat” two very big straighedge hardcore bands from the 80’s.

Matt Hardy defeated Cm Punk in a beat the clock match at 7:20

These two are no strangers to each other, and Hardy got a huge pop, which was definitely on time considering Punk just gave one of the best Heel promo’s I’ve heard in a long time.

Cm Punk took control of a good majority of this match. Punk has definitely been growing as a wrestler, as his timing is getting a lot more methodical, and dare I say technical. I used to hate seeing his matches, but now they seem to make a lot of sense when compared to Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Bret Hart. While he doesn’t focus on a leg, he does seem to follow up big moves with some rest holds to wear down his opponent. Hardy is no new comer though, and he waited for a mistake by punk, and turned this match around with his fast paced connective move set. It wasn’t enough though, as Punk delivered his GTS and Hardy was out for the three count.

After the match, Luke Gallows took to beating Hardy and delivered his finisher. Punk and Gallows then looked on victoriously, which was quite good. These two and possibly more in 2010 can prove to be the next Raven (ECW or WCW 97 era Raven).

Kane vs Dolph Ziggler had their time expire in their beat the clock match

When’s the last time Kane was relevant? He’s so slow in ring, although he’s been ramping it up a little, he’s just not that good anymore. I don’t like him, there I said.

Ziggler was like a man possessed in this match. He immediately lunged at Kane, and fought fast and hit Kane with everything he had, alongside quick pin attempts. Kane had a few shots in early on, but Ziggler was moving quickly and trying to win this thing in record time. Kane was definitely looking very weak in this match, as he was getting worked by a faster Ziggler, but despite all of Ziggler’s attempts to beat Kane, he couldn’t do it in the time allotted. Ziggler for not being a former champion, really made Kane look like small, and after the match was over he hit his finisher called “The Zig Zag”. This match was all Ziggler, I liked it, and hope Kane is on his way out this year.

They played a promo of Sheamus and John Cena from Monday Night Raw and they tried to make it epic, with color variations and different edits, but it didn’t look epic at all. It was tiring, and a stupid match with a stupid finish. The Sheamus and Cena feud is the worst fued idea in a long time, and I don’t care for it. In fact, WWE is going to have to do a lot to make me believe that those two are entertaining. I’ve seen Cena thrown into lights, off of limo’s and fight Eddie Guerrero in a street fight back stage, yet one stupid looking kick and it’s over? So lame.

The Great Khali defeated The Carolina Panther

The Carolina Panther is nothing more than a jobber with a Carolina Panther’s jersey. It was seriously the worst jobber idea I’ve seen in a long time. Khali came in, dropped the jobber, pinned him and won, that was it. Man, I wish I only had to work 5 minutes a week and get six figures.

Have you seen the trailers for the new Marine film? Ted Dibiase has the charisma of a wet blanket. Man, he sucks at acting or showcasing any sort of emotional response. He’s worst than Kennedy…remember the last time a wwe film flopped? Someone got fired. Will Dibiase get fired? Man, I hope so, if it means no more WWE straight to dvd sequels.

Drew McIntyre defeated John Morrison via disqualification

This match had a lot of offense, both men didn’t want to let up. McIntyre was definitely looking less strong for once, and wasn’t running over Morrison in this match like he rolled over many of his opponents in the past. Morrison fired off some great offense and was fighting hard to get a foothold in this match up. McIntyre getting desperate pulled the turnbuckle off and this thing looked to be getting dangerous, but the ref was there to try and stop things. In the mix, Morrison got disqualified because of McIntyre and that led to the end of the match.

After the match, this feud started to get good. Morrison attacked McIntyre on his way back to the locker room and the two brawled, causing a ton of ref’s to come out and stop the two men from fighting. You gotta love when brawls break out, that’s just a classic moment in professional wrestling. Many feuds of the past started with brawls over the title after matches.

Mickie James defeated Beth Phoenix

First and foremost, I’m tired of podcasts and wrestling websites talking about how it’s so bad that they are calling Mickie James fat. She did gain a few pounds last year and was slowing down in ring. If a person/girl watching the wwe really has problems with weight and only goes further down the rabbit hole into bad eating and weight gain, maybe they have bigger problems. I have no problems calling Mickie James “Piggy James” or that’s she’s fat, it’s PRO WRESTLING not a role model for behavior and am sick of people talking about it like it’s something that is truly going to be a trigger for people that watch it.

My explanation of that above took longer than this match. Mickie James won after Michelle McCool accidentally kicked Beth Phoenix at ringside. Mickie Wins, and she still has a little tummy to lose, just saying.

Michelle McCool and Layla attacked after the match was over, and Beth Phoenix got involved, turning her from heel to face? Weird.

The divas division sucks. The post match was better than the actual match. The best part was that a fat Mickie James was laid out cold in the middle of the ring. Maybe this will be the death of the divas division.

Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Jericho in a beat the clock match with 1 second left 7:19

This match was actually interesting, as Jericho and Mysterio made quite a go for it. Jericho had a lot of control early on, but Mysterio turned things around a few times. Jericho reversed the 619 into the Walls of Jericho, and after that wasn’t enough, Mysterio went off the top rope only to get caught into the Code Breaker! I thought this match was all over, but nope, a small package roll up and three seconds later Rey Mysterio won this match.

While I thought the match was good, I have to ask something that no one is addressing. What good are finisher maneuvers? They never seem to pin anyone. Jericho not only hit Mysterio with a Codebreaker and the Walls of Jericho, they weren’t enough. Oh well.

Mysterio pins Jericho with only 1 second left in the timer.

Batista vs R Truth the time ran out before Batista could win the match

Mysterio was ringside for this match up. I know we’re in the world of good guys and bad guys, but the ending was awesome.

Batista was definitely in control throughout this match. Truth got some good hard shots in, but it seemed that Batista was just powerful and ready for it. Truth made it interesting though, but every time he got close to getting a good move in, Batista had a quick counter. Case in point, the sick sideslam out of a Truth’s momentum off the ropes.

Mysterio did what I thought was the only good way to end this thing. Rey Mysterio got involved at the last second and cost Batista the #1 contender match! Batista was about to close the deal and get a shot at Undertaker, but nope, Rey Mysterio showing that he wants the belt, pulled out the ref! The clock counted down and it was all said and done. A great finish, if you ask me…and no one did.

Mysterio seemed to be the #1 contender, but then out came Vickie Guerrero. She announced that Rey Mysterio must wrestle Batista next week and the winner will face the undertaker for the title at the Royal Rumble.

The show started with Tiffany calling out Shelton Benjamin and Christian to ringside. William Regal and his idiots came down to ringside. Tiffany announced that they’ve invited former ECW stars to come back and wrestle and maybe get a shot at the ECW title at the Royal Rumble.

The Hurricane defeated The Ripper

This is ridiculous. However, I guess it keeps Hurricane employed. This match was a little slow paced up front, but Paul Burchill managed to put in some good offense. I liked him better as the Pirate, oh well. The Hurricane pulled The Rippers mask to reveal Paul Burchill, hit the shining Wizard and won this match with somewhat ease. I personally don’t care about these two and their feud of sorts.

Abraham Washington had a show with special guest Maria. It was boring, and I’m tired of his show.

Ezekiel Jackson defeated Kozlov

This match was terrible. Slow moving and just awkward. Regal pulled Kozlov’s leg to end the boredom and Jackson won. This match was terrible. Terrible.

Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft defeated Jobbers

This match was ok, and by ok I mean it sucks. These two idiots are not good at all, and I’m tired of seeing them get shoved down our throats.

Kane defeated Zack Ryder

Zack Ryder tried to fight the big red machine, but it wasn’t working at all. Kane easily defeated Zack Ryder and this match was done fast. Way to bury your talent wwe, way to bury your talent.

Ecw sucked. I’m tired, and I’ll be back for the TNA review.

ECW on ScyFy 12/8/09 Review

This show opens up with Kozlov calling out Ezekiel Jackson. The Boredom begins…no wonder this show is getting canceled. Regal stopped them from fighting, and then Shelton Benjamin came out to get a chant of “Let them fight” going. All in all I was readily bored.

Vance Archer defeated Tommy Dreamer

Tommy Dreamer is still employed? What the heck? Well, Tommy Dreamer gave Vance Archer a run for his money, at least momentarily. The match was somewhat short, but it was Archer who continued to win on WWE television. I still am not buying his character.

Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft defeated Two Jobbers

This match was lame. These two are the future of WWE tag teams? I’m going to need some time to grow on them. These two put on a standard little man tag match…nothing too complicated, that’s for sure.

Yoshi Tatsu, Christian, and Shelton Benjamin defeated Ezekiel Jackson, Kozlov, and William Regal via countout

This match had a god flow to it. The evil three isolated Shelton Benjamin for most of the match up. But eventually Yoshi got in there and then all hell broke loose. However, at one point Kozlov decided to leave his partners, and eventually led to a countout as Jackson ran out to get him.

ECW is on the way out, and you know what?

I don’t care.

Goldust defeated William Regal
Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft defeated two jobbers
Shelton Benjamin & Christian defeated Ezekiel Jackson & Kozlov

Ecw on Scyfy 12/1/09 Review

The show started with the Abraham Washington show, and it wasn’t all that great. I don’t understand why this crap continues to pollute ECW. Remember when ECW (on wwe) was pure wrestling and that they intentionally put in hardcore matches, lesser production, and what not? Oh well. Those days are past.

Goldust defeated William Regal

Goldust has been a mainstay, low carder, on this show and I have to wonder if the WWE just doesn’t see him as a good investment on the other shows. He’d feud well with anyone, and he could push that “homoerotic” thing he did with Razor Ramon back in the day. But alas, he’s getting matches with Regal. Regal started the match getting pummeled, but he managed to turn things around and get this into a more slow match. The outside drama overshadowed the in ring work, and it looks like Ezekiel Jackson is still on his way out of the trio, as Goldust was able to pin William Regal somewhat cleanly.

Trent Barreta & Caylen Croft defeated two jobbers

This match sucked. These two guys are nobodies right now, and they are a tag team. Tag teams don’t last, and without some serious competition, I don’t care.

Shelton Benjamin & Christian defeated Ezekiel Jackson & Kozlov

You can always bank on Benjamin and Christian to put on a good show, and they made this match interesting. Whether they were bumping for the big guys, or unleashing some high flying offense, those guys were pushing a good match out of the buffoons that are regal’s body guards. This match was interesting for what it was, but overall it didn’t really move forward anything too interesting. The Regal dudes managed to work together, for the most part, despite blind tags. Ezekiel Jackson, after some missteps from Kozlov, walked out on his partner and left him for dead. Benjamin and Christian won this match, and it just proves that Jackson is going to be doing things on his own.

Oh and don't forget the new Batista Dvd out now!
