WWE 205 Live August 28, 2018 Results and Review Still Good Wrestling

Akira Tozawa vs The Brian Kendrick - 205 Live Source WWE

Akira Tozawa defeated The Brian Kendrick

A slow moving match that was a little boring to me. Tozawa would get the win, but I feel like we’ve seen this match many times before.

Hideo Itami vs. Michael Haize

Well, Itami was winning this match but out came Mustafa Ali after Itami was peaking up Haize for the whole match. However, he ran away, and the match was thrown out I guess.

Buddy Murphy defeated Kalisto

Here we go, one hell of a main event. This was a back and forth war, and both wrestlers threw everything that they had at one another. Murphy impresses here, with some killer reversals to Kalisto’s offense. The extra characters were thrown out of ringside, and wow, the framework here was nothing short of impressive with a lot of fighting back and forth, with lots of frenetic movements, and stellar moves. From high spots to hard hits, and more, you found that everything in this match made sense, and worked well. Murphy would get the final laugh, though, and boom, won this match.

As far as shows are concerned, 205 Live wins this week’s best main roster showcases, because of the final match. Great match with Murphy and Kalisto, and Murphy’s law that got the big win here. He’s destined to get a title shot sooner than later.

WWE 205 Live July 31, 2018 Results and Review

Kalisto defeated Tony Nese

Why Tony Nese is still employed is beyond me. I think he's one hell of a wrestler, but the WWE hasn't given him a win in a long time, and the keep pushing Kalisto. There's nothing wrong with Kalisto, but some of the 205 writing just seems so predictable, that I end up questioning the bigger picture here. Nese put on a good fight, and he should've won this match, as he really threw down a lot of good ofense, but nope, Kalisto won again.

Lio Rush Came Out To Talk Trash

The most exciting hour has a lot of talking now too.

Lio Rush defeated a Jobber

Yeah....just yeah....wow.

Cedric Alexander defeated The Brian Kendrick

You knew the result going in. It wasn't a terrible match, but you knew what was going to happen. Meh.

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.

Itami vs Alexander (2018) - Src WWE 

The show started with talking, and honestly I don't know, I didn't have the sound on, so I'm just going to review the show's wrestling because I can't stand the commentary and talking on these shows. If you like that, cool, I'm not a big fan.

WWE 205 Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Kalisto vs. Tony Nese Ended in A Double Count Out

I'm assuming it was a double count out, because I didn't see anything turn out in the middle of the ring.

Lio Rush defeated Colin Delaney

This match was what you'd expect it to be. Rush wins.

Cedric Alexander defeated Hideo Itami

This was a hard hitting back and forth match, and it was a great example of what 205 Live can showcase, it's just sad that not a lot of people watch it. Itami put up a good battle, but in the end, Alexander was the one that would get the upper hand, and hit The Lumbar Check. Good match, great show, if you like pure wrestling, and lots of commercials for the network shows and the PPV, sigh.

Mustafa Ali Against All Odds - SRC WWE 

This must be the C show right? All I can say about these shows is that I really miss Enzo Amore. He was killer on the mic and could draw real heat, not like anything going on right now with the wrestling.

WWE 205 Live June 12, 2018 Results and Review Just Wrestling

Kalisto, Gran Metalik, and Lince Dorado defeated Drew Gulak, The Brian Kendrick, and Jack Gallagher

There’s nothing wrong with these guys wrestling, but I feel like I’ve seen this so many times, that it’s been bad. Not only that, the good guys win again, and it’s awful. I hate how predictable things are, and well, once again we are in a predictable mode and that sucks.

Akira Tozawa defeated Steve Irby

A jobber match, nothing to see here. They have such an array of talent, but this is how they use it?

Mustafa Ali defeated Tony Nese

Of course he did. This was a match I’ve seen one hundred times before, and it was good as always, but when you see the same thing over and over again, you start to get bored with things. It was fine, but I could’ve easily spent my time doing literally anything else, and guessed the result of this match.

WWE 205 Live May 1, 2018 Results and Review More of The Same Stuff

Gulak's Mean Streak - SRC WWE

I’m not sure if WWE 205 Live will ever turn a corner to be honest. I just don’t think that they are going to be story line driven in the same way as the other shows. I at least liked the Zo Train and all that came with it, because there was talking, and there was attitude. This show was just action, and little talking and while I usually hate that type of stuff, this definitely needs more entertainment value. If you’re just going to have matches, then there should be a few more, and more than just the same 6 or 7 characters. You can’t tell me that there aren’t enough cruiserweights out there, but alas, we get what we get.

WWE 205 Live May 1, 2018 Results and Review

There were only 3 matches found on this night of wrestling, mind you, and they weren’t all great.

The Brian Kendrick and Gentleman Jack Gallagher defeated Hideo Itami and Akira Tozawa

This was a fast match with a lot of frustration from the Asian talent. Even though the Asian crew was able to get the upper hand at times, they made a few mistakes, and that was when Kendrick and Gallagher pounced, getting the win. Itami got mad at Tozawa and pushed him, which means that they will most likely wrestle against one another? I guess.

Buddy Murphy defeated Jobber

Yep.

Drew Gulak defeated Kalisto

This wasn’t too bad, but finally Drew Gulak gets a win with his mean streak. Kalisto did well to try and defend himself again Gulak’s offense, but in the end, one mistake and Gulak made Kalisto go to sleep and that was that. Gulak is such a good competitor, it’s a shame that he doesn’t get more chances at the title.

This was a lackluster show and it was only like 45 minutes long. Meh.

205 Live April 24, 2018 Results and Review The One Match Show

Gulak Beat The Hell Out of 205 - SRC WWE

205 Live this week was just one match. That’s right, just one match overall. It was a gauntlet match for the number one contender spot for the Greatest Royal Rumble event this Friday.

205 Live April 24, 2018 Results and Review

Kalitso won the Gauntlet Match

The match featured Mustafa Ali starting out and getting a quick win over TJP, but after that, he was spent, and out came Drew Gulak and he put the boots to Ali. Ali would eventually pass out in the Gulak lock or the GULOCK, and that was a good match. Tony Nese came out and really worked over Gulak, and I thought he had his number, but nope, he tapped out after some back and forth action. After that, we saw Kalisto show up and get rocked for a good portion of the match, until he was able to throw down after a Salida Del Sol and that was that!

Kalisto will face Cedric Alexander at the Greatest Royal Rumble.

A one match show? Ok. Not a bad show, but again, lots of missing talent. Furthermore, why didn’t Nese come back to cost Gulak the match? I’m just saying, he was very upset with his loss, and that could’ve put the show a little further down the road instead of just having one match, and that’s it. Oh well.

WWE 205 Live February 27, 2018 Results and Review

Roderick Strong Kicks The Hell Out of Kalisto - Src WWE dot com

This week’s edition of 205 Live continued the tournament for the cruiserweight title, and it’s an interesting line up. There were some solid matches here, and despite the great wrestling, I still miss Enzo and some of the character driven interactions, specifically the dancing of the Zo Train.

Cedric Alexander defeated TJP

The formula of these matches are starting to get a bit predictable if you ask me. This match was good, and it had TJP doing a lot to ground Alexander throughout the match. It was interesting to see them battle, and it was fascinating to see how it all worked out, but overall it was telegraphed to be a loss for Alexander. TJP was able to garner a great deal of momentum until the end, where Alexander hit the Lumbar Check and pinned JTP clean. That’s the end of that.

Roderick Strong defeated Kalisto

This just looked painful at times. Roderick Strong worked well with Kalisto, but he was working like Dean Malenko here. It was fascinating to see Kalisto was able to throw in a few moves, but in the end Roderick Strong just had too many moves for the high flyer to overcome. Strong is a sure fire man to get to the Cruiserweight final. He’s an incredible talent and it showed here for this match.

That was it. Just two matches to fill 45 minutes of time, and they weren’t half bad. The crowd wasn’t that into them, but the matches succeeded in showcasing the talent and working towards pure wrestling, without a lot of gimmicks. Not bad.

WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Results and Review

Asuka Royal Rumble 2018 Winner - Source WWE dot com

After what seemed like 9 hours of programming, the WWE Royal Rumble is in the books. I was tempted not to talk about it, but I had an opening for a few minutes, and so I decided to talk about it today. It’s something that you no doubt want to hear me talk about, or not, I don’t know. What do I know? Anyways, here is 2018 Royal Rumble results and review, featuring 9 matches, and a lot of action.

WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Results and Review

Kalisto, Gran Metalik, and Lince Dorado defeated TJP, Jack Gallagher, and Drew Gulak

This opener was in front of 200 people in the building, and it was fun to watch. The guys really threw themselves into the Lucha Style, and it was back and forth throughout. I knew that the lucha guys were going to win, especially with how their reception was. I liked the match, and it ran around 13 minutes, which was definitely grand.

The Revival defeated The Club Sandwich Boys

The Club Sandwich guys are the worst team in the WWE. They get no love, and end up getting buried each week. This time around, in about 10 minutes, they end up getting done over, and that’s that. The Revival was buried at RAW 25, and now it was the Club Sandwich boys that are getting buried.

Bobby Roode defeated Mojo Rawley

Rawley ran down and threw out Roode immediately. He was in control during most of this match, but it was Roode that was able to turn things around and hit a sloppy DDT for the win. It was a sloppy 8 minute match, and it was terrible. This is a waste of Bobby Roode’s talent.

Aj Styles defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

This was a sixteen minute slow burning, terrible match. Owens and Zayn would end up losing. Styles was able to get through the action and do his spots, but the two friends were just not getting any love. Owens is reportedly injured, so it was Zayn that took over most of this match.

The Usos defeated Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin

This was a 14 minute match and it wasn’t that bad. The Usos were fast here, and they used every tactic to their advantage, and were able to win in two consecutive falls. This was a short match with a lot of fast moves, and it wasn’t half bad.

Shinsuke Nakamura won the Royal Rumble Match

In over an hour, this match was a good fit for the bigger Royal Rumble match. Nakamura was able to gain the upper hand towards the end. Nakamura was in there for a long time, but not as long as Finn Balor, and others. I loved the match, and it had a great winner, who then said he would take on Aj Styles at Mania.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan

The tag team title match was boring. It was so boring, that they made up a story. Jordan has a legit injury, and he was thrown into a post and he started to cry at ringside. That left Sheamus and Cesaro to win. Rollins won big here, and it was amazing to see things work through for The Bar. They win the titles, and Jordan just sulks.

Brock Lesnar defeated Kane and Braun Strowman

Perhaps the worst title match in Royal Rumble history. So much that the crowd was chanting BS the whole time. It was stupid. Lesnar wins, and that’s that.

Asuka won the Women’s Royal Rumble

In almost an hour, Auska was able to outlast a lot of the women, and once again proved that no one is ready for Asuka! This was a great win, and I loved it. Lots of women showed up, including the Bella Twins, and many women from the attitude era.

After the match, out came Ronda Rousey and that was that. End of the Rumble.

This was a good overall night of wrestling, and I give this a great grade, because it was fun and had a lot of great momentum. I’d go back and watch, but I have a lot more to write about.

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

Hideo Itami vs. Colin Delaney - SRC WWE DOT COM

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

WWE 205 Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review

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

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

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

Hideo Itami defeated Colin Delaney

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

Cedric Alexander defeated Drew Gulak

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

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

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

WWE 205 Live Is Tired - SRC WWE Dot Com 

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

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

Cedric Alexander defeated Ariya Daivari

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

Kalisto defeated Jack Gallagher

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

Tony Nese defeated Enzo Amore via DQ

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

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

WWE TLC 2017 Results and Review The Angle Return

WWE TLC 2017 - SRC WWE DOT COM

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

WWE TLC 2017 Results and Review

Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox

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

Asuka defeated Emma

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

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

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

Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James

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

Enzo Amore defeated Kalisto

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

The Demon Finn Balor defeated Aj Styles

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

Jason Jordan defeated Elias

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

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

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

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

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

Gallagher Took A Beating - SRC WWE DOT COM

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

WWE 205 Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review

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

Kalisto defeated Ariya Daivari

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

Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak

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

Jack Gallagher defeated Cedric Alexander via DQ

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

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

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

The Shield Sucked - SRC WWE DOT COM

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

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

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

Brawn Strowman defeated Seth Rollins

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

Elias defeated Titus O’Neil

This was not on HULU.

Mickie James defeated Nia Jax via Disqualification

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

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Dana Warrior presented Belts to Breast Cancer Patients

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

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz via Diqualification

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

Bray Wyatt addressed Finn Balor

Another Wyatt Promo? Ugh.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Emma and Alicia Fox

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

Kalisto Came Out To Fight Enzo Amore

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

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

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

WWE Smackdown Live January 31, 2017 Results and Review How Is This A Better Show?

You Know You Thought This After That First Segment

I’m constantly told that Smackdown is a better show than Raw. All of the podcasts seem to be pushing that notion, but honestly, this week didn’t feel that way at all. In fact, I had to fight myself from falling asleep. There are some nice highlights, I guess, but overall, this is not an A show if you ask me. Here are my thoughts on this week’s Smackdown Live showcase for the end of January.

WWE Smackdown Live January 31, 2017 Review

The Wyatt Family confronted John Cena

Same OLD SHIT. That’s all I will say about this.

Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton def. John Cena and Luke Harper

This match had some potential, but you know what? I’ve already seen Cena trade blows with Orton and Wyatt. He already buried Bray Wyatt, and he’s fought Randy Orton so many times that this just felt old. Luke Harper was good, and they keep teasing his full turn on Wyatt, but I think there’s a double cross brewing.

Carmella def. Delilah Dawson

Delilah Dawson is awesome! I follow her on Twitter. I was marking out bro. Ok, aside from that, Carmella won with a little assist from James Ellsworth. Ellsworth is one lucky bastard, and I would give a lot up to get a chance to hang around with the WWE crew, and Carmella…how you doing?

Dolph Ziggler def. Kalisto

Quick match, didn’t do anything but buy Kalisto. Why isn’t Kalisto in the cruiserweight division? Why even have a division, just unleash all the guys into storylines where they can get buried, seems to be the norm with WWE.

Naomi and Becky Lynch def. Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

Not a bad match for the women. However, I am tired of hearing about the divas revolution, as this was a showcase of DIVA style booking. The match was fine, there were some good moments, including Bliss showing off how athletic she is. Naomi’s offense is awesome, and Lynch is always fun to see. James, wow, the veteran was great selling, but she’s been ineffective since coming back to the WWE. Why have her just get buried out right? Oh well.

Chaos broke loose before SmackDown Tag Team Champions American Alpha’s open challenge ever began

The tag team division went from one of the best parts of the show, to being dead in the water. Heath Slater and Rhyno were getting 18,000 plus people cheering for them, but instead of letting them keep the titles, they’ve given them to a couple of guys with great potential, but that are not over at all. The Usos came back, as thugs, which was cool, but come on, let’s be honest, this sucks.

AJ Styles def. Dean Ambrose

A good overall television match, if you like these two together. I don’t think that this match should’ve ended the way it did. WWE has a way of making their champions look terrible. Dean Ambrose is supposed to be a champion, but here he is losing to Styles, clean, without the title on the line. I didn’t like it. According to The Wrestling Observer, Dean doesn’t even have a match going into Mania at all, and well, he may not get on the show. What a way to use the guy, oh well. This match was worth checking out if you missed Smackdown, but honestly, there’s nothing to tell here.

Overall, Smackdown was not the A list show. It was a boring hour or so, since I watched it on Youtube. Hulu has it, but it wasn’t updated by the time I watched it in the morning. So there you have it, your review, of sorts. I’m tired.

WWE TLC PPV 2016 Predictions Who Wins and Who Loses?

Well here we go again, another PPV and it’s only a few weeks after the last one. With that in mind, I’m going to be giving you my predictions for this weekend’s TLC line up. These are the announce matches and my ideas as to who is going to win. Last PPV, I did terribly, only being correct about 2 matches, but this time, I’m going to be right on all of them! So here we go.

WWE TLC PPV 2016 Predictions

NO DQ Match

Carmella defeats Nikki Bella

Despite the two throwing down this week, I’m going to give the win to Carmella. I think that she needs a win more than Nikki does, and Nikki needs to toughen up some more. Perhaps even get some training from John Cena for the next match these two will no doubt have.

Baron Corbin defeats Kalisto in a Chairs Match

Kalisto is going to lose this match, plain and simple. If the rumors are true that The Big Breakfast is going to be groomed to fight John Cena, then this is going to go down as a match in which Corbin wins again. However, no matter how wins, Corbin’s hair loss continues.

Smackdown Live Women’s Championship Match

Alexa Bliss defeats Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is going through a table, she weighs more, and can take the loss. It’s time for a heel champion, and a cocky heel at best. Bliss to win the title and hold it up high, only to keep it for a long time.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship TLC Match

Aj Styles defeats Dean Ambrose

I’m going to call it here, Aj Styles continues his winning streak by defeating Dean Ambrose. I expect James Ellsworth to try and help Dean, only to get knocked the F out by Styles again. Dean will most likely have to choose from helping Ellsworth from dying for some reason and getting the belt, choosing the belt. I highly doubt Dean is getting the title. I do forecast a Dean Ambrose and James Ellsworth tag title run however. Now that could be interesting.

Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship Match

Heath Slater and Rhyno defeats The Wyatt Family

I think the Wyatt Family is going to have a turn here, and Orton will finally get away from Bray. If not, then they will at least lose, with Heath Slater and Rhyno barely getting the win. The Wyatt’s will then fight amongst themselves and that will be that. I don’t think it’s time to take the belts off of Slater and Rhyno.

The Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match

The Miz defeats Dolph Ziggler

Again, these two fighting? Dolph loses, and that’s it. I don’t care about this match.

There you have it, my predictions for this week’s show. Let’s see how it all goes down live on WWE Network and other providers.

Wow, Tuesday has just become longer if you’re a wrestling fan. Not only will I be posting this review, but I will also be talking about 206 Live. That’s a full 3 hours of wrestling on Tuesday, and of course 3 hours for Raw, and a PPV this week, and in a couple of weeks? That’s a LOT of wrestling, or rather, entertainment as they now call it. Whatever the case is, here we go, another long winded array of crap.

WWE Smackdown Live November 29, 2016 Review

Things got heated between Becky Lynch and Alexa Bliss during their TLC contract signing

Becky Lynch is a beautiful woman. So is Alexa Bliss. However, I can’t understand what Lynch is saying. She sounds like she has marbles in her mouth, and at times, you can tell that she doesn’t understand the script that she’s saying. It was painfully obvious in her jokes and timing, and Alexa Bliss had to pretend that it stung. It felt very awkward to watch. Lynch and Bliss fought, with Lynch going through a table with her butt. I’m going to predict that Bliss wins the title and Lynch is left in a heap of table scraps. I’m tired of her as champion, that’s for sure.

Dolph Ziggler & Kalisto def. The Miz & Baron Corbin via Disqualification

Boring. NO one cares about these guys, right? I’m so tired of seeing Miz and Ziggler wrestle. Kalisto and Corbin is overshadowed in my book. It’s being overshadowed by Corbin’s receding hairline. Sorry bro, it’s time to shave your head.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Nikki Bella reached her breaking point with Carmella

Carmella came out and laid down some hot fire against Bella. Bella ran out and beat her up. That’s it.

Dean Ambrose hosted The Ambrose Asylum with James Ellsworth

Holy crap. Is there no wrestling on this show? Seriously. Ambrose and Ellsworth chatted, but the real highlight here was Aj Styles. Styles came out and beat the holy crap out of James Ellsworth, and delivered one of the scariest Styles Clashes in the world. He did it off the stairs onto Ellsworth, and this after he nearly crumpled a chair across his back. Ellsworth was stretchered out. Expect him to get revenge at the PPV and cost Ambrose the match somehow.

Kane def. Luke Harper

News Flash! Kane is still relevant somehow? Boring match, Harper goes down, I don’t care. Harper’s younger than I am and already losing his hair.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton def. American Alpha in a SmackDown Tag Team Title No. 1 Contenders’ Match

American Alpha desperately needs Kurt Angle. If Kurt Angle came back as a comedy coach gimmick, I would mark out so huge. American Alpha is great, don’t get me wrong, but this loss only proves that they need a heater. Wyatt and Orton win, but I suspect Orton betraying the family leading to a weird stipulation match that will cause the Wyatt’s to disband.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles engaged in a backstage brawl

Oh, this happened. Yeah. I didn’t care. Did you? Smackdown sucked this week, let’s be honest.

WWE Survivor Series 2016 Predictions

This weekend the WWE will be in Canada, where I wanted to be, and will be putting on a showcase of the immortals, aka The Survivor Series. I miss the old Thanksgiving eve or even Thanksgiving day tradition. I loved the old showcase, and with this Raw vs Smackdown thing, I’m not as excited. However, I am going to cheer, eat pizza, and drink beer like I always do. And well, here we go, a great time to predict what is going to happen, and here we go.

WWE Survivor Series 2016 Predictions

Brock Lesnar defeats Bill Goldberg

I have no idea why the WWE would let Goldberg come back only to win and then go away. I’m going to say that he pulls off the big win here. Goldberg doesn’t get humbled like Randy Orton, but instead, he goes in and puts on about 5 minutes of offense, then starts to lose it. Look for Lesnar to take Goldberg to Suplex City, and win this match clean, and that’s that.

WWE Team Raw defeats Team Smackdown

Look, I like the teams fair enough, but they don’t make sense. If you go back to the original Survivor Series matches, they never put together teams that were at odds. It was bad guys versus the good guys, and you had dream matches in the middle. There are no dream matches here, these guys are just thrown together for a pride that makes no sense to me. I expect Ellsworth to get beat down, I expect Raw to get the win, and above all else, Roman Reigns is going to look strong no matter what.

WWE Tag Team Raw defeats Team Smackdown

Did we already forget that The Usos tried to break the legs of American Alpha? Did we already forget that 4 of the guys are part of the jobber squad? On Raw, you have far better participants, and of course with the New Day needing to look strong, watch out for them to win this one, and get the win.

Kalisto defeats The Brian Kendrick

Why would Kendrick need to give any sort of pep talk? Seriously. Nothing changes for the cruiserweights except that they get moved from one show to another show, and well better announcers. I’m going to say that Kalisto wins this one, and the whole roster moves to Smackdown and Kendrick wins the belt back in a triple threat match which involves Kalisto botching moves, Tj Perkins getting no reaction, and Kendrick getting that 37 year old swagger win.

The MIz defeats Sam Zayn

Sami Zayn needs a title, he’s floundering on Raw, Stephanie McMahon seems to hate him, and well he should go to Smackdown. Look for The Miz to beat Zayn, get fired from Raw, only to have a rematch on Smackdown to win the title. The Miz is going to get booed out of the building, since Zayn is from Canada. This will be a good match, but expect Zayn to go down in flames.

The Smackdown Women defeat The Raw Women

In another showcase, I am going to go with the Smackdown women getting the big win here. I am going to say that they are the underdog, but that’s not really true. I just think that they are going to want to make John Cena’s girlfriend look strong, and well, she’s going to win. I think this should be an interesting match, and well it’s going to be good.

That’s my take on this weekends showcase. I think that it will be a good show, although it won’t lead to much more in terms of story line, unless people purposely walk away and leave their team. I don’t get this pride thing, but hey that’s just me. If you got picks, drop me a line, otherwise, watch the show, drink some Steveweiser and enjoy!

Wild Card Predictions

Don’t be surprised if The Club Sandwich boys turn on the rest of their team.

Don’t be surprised if someone gets injured on the Smackdown team, requiring the Undertaker to take his place.

WWE Smackdown Live November 15, 2016 Results and Review The Rated B Show

Expect One Last Ride For The WWE Title 

For only 1 hour and 21 minutes, this episode of Smackdown Live proves yet again why it is in fact the B-Show. It’s not an A show, but then again, Raw wasn’t exactly the most thrilling 2 plus hours either. Let’s just call this what it is, the equivalent of WCW Thunder! That’s right, I said it. Wreddit readers can go suck a lemon, idiots. Here are my thoughts on this show, since I sat through it and ate breakfast.

WWE Smackdown Live November 15, 2016 Review

The Miz def. Dolph Ziggler to win the Intercontinental Championship

This was an outstanding display of what a great opening match can be. I didn’t mind the logic gap at times, because the two were going as fast as they could from transitional elements to power moves. I liked it. It wasn’t a long match, but it sufficed to do exactly what I said would happen, give the heel champion a way into the ppv. Dolph Ziggler should go do anything else, if you ask me. The Miz getting the title is a nice nod, and if you ask me, will most likely lose it to Sami Zayn, who needs a title right now.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Kalisto def. Oney Lorcan

Two irrelevant wrestlers put on a fast match with nothing worth mentioning. Only Lorcan or is it Orney? I don’t know. The worst name that the WWE has come up with versus one of the worst promo guys in the industry. Not only that, Kalisto is from Chicago, not Mexico. This match sucked, simple as that.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Nikki Bella vs. Carmella ends in a No Contest

Not a bad match at all, but of course the Raw women showed up and caused problems. No, I take that back. Nikki beat up Charlotte without provocation, which prompted all the Raw girls to jump Nikki. Then for whatever reason, Carmella joined in to help Nikki! What the hell? Why? Why would Carmella, someone that hates Nikki stop a beat down? This made no sense. The cool spot, of course, was Nia Jax going through the barricade, which was rad, but other than that, this made no logical sense on either side of the coin.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

American Alpha, The Hype Bros, The Usos & Breezango def. The Spirit Squad, The Vaudevillains, The Ascension & The Headbangers – 16-Man Tag Team Match

If you had to go to the bathroom, this was the one to go with. The crowd wanted Rhyno, but he wasn’t in the match. This was jobbers versus semi-jobbers, and it wasn’t that fun. I guess if you were there live and had a hot dog and beer, maybe it would’ve been more exciting.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Edge hosted “The Cutting Edge” with Team SmackDown LIVE

I was very surprised when the Cutting Edge show was the end of the show and that’s it. This was literally the end of Smackdown, and I was surprised to see such little amounts of wrestling on the show. I forgot what I was watching, because this sucked up a lot of the time. Edge hosted a lackluster show, and out came the Undertaker. Not a great ending.

Smackdown Live Final Thoughts

Smackdown was a horrible show, with 1 good match. The ending was interesting in that it sets up The Undertaker versus Aj Styles at the Royal Rumble, if you ask me. Of course, you didn’t ask me. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ambrose, Styles, and Undertaker put on a showcase leading to a Final 4 type match for Roadblock or Elimination Chamber.

If I’m going to fantasy book, let’s consider 1997 for a moment. I could see a final 4 in the Rumble being John Cena, Undertaker, Dean Ambrose, and Brock Lesnar. No clear winner found or something happens to be controversial, leading to a final four match in February and the ultimate winner being John Cena. The same thing that happened with the Final Four IYH ppv in which the results of the 1997 rumble led to a quality match to see who would face off in the main event at Wrestlemania 13.

Either way, Smackdown was awful, and that was that. Another week of wrestling done and done.

WWE Smackdown 5/26/2016 Results and Review The End of Mixed Branding

I am delayed in reviewing, as I’m doing some routine marketing things to try and boost traffic for the site, and well I didn’t catch Smackdown until now. The opening alone made me not want to watch, Michael Cole interviewed Dean Ambrose about Money in The Bank ppv. I’m already bored.

WWE Smackdown 5/26/2016 Results and Review

Dean Ambrose mouthed off about how he is the most extreme, etc. This is the lunatic? No thanks. Somewhere, Brian Pillman is wishing he had another chance to come back to wrestling. Kevin Owens showed up to talk randomly about crap, then Sami Zayn comes out and talks about Wrestlemania and what not. 20 minutes of B.S. if you ask me.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Zack Ryder

Well, this was the end for Ryder. Alberto Del Rio picked up the win, even though Ryder in no way was completely buried outright. Ryder put some offense in, but it wasn’t meant to be, as Ryder got beat yet again. No one was surprised by this, no one.

Enzo and Cass challenged The Dudleys, but it won’t happen until Raw. Boring waste of time if you ask me.

Rusev defeated Kalisto

The end of the line for Kalisto, this was his rematch for the United States championship, and well, it was all over before it could get going. Ok match, but nothing grand, that’s all. Competitive match, none the less, Kalisto got beat.

After the match Titus O’neil showed up and challenged Rusev, which was fine, but eh, nothing special. I guess he’s next.

Natalya versus Dana Brooks

This match didn’t go very long. Charlotte interfered and caused a no-finish. Charlotte beats up Natalya, and that’s that? I guess that’s the end of the feud? I don’t know, don’t care, this diva’s revolution is nothing short of boring, sorry.

There are so many flashbacks to Raw that this show just drags on. I don’t like it.

Aj Styles interviewed, and well, he looked defeated, this is the end of the burial of Aj Styles if you ask me.

Tyler Breeze and Fandango defeated R Truth and Goldust (Golden Truth)

Minor match, nothing big. Boring if you ask me. Smackdown is not a great show, just saying.

Seth Rollins showed up, cut a limited promo and then left. Nothing big here. 

The Miz defeated Cesaro 

A great overall main event for Smackdown, as these two work well together. Cesaro's shoulder was worked on, and in the end, The Miz took him out thanks to a turnbuckle that was removed by Maryse. Overall, this was the best match of the night, and possibly of the week! Great fun, great match, nice to see this type of wrestling for the intercontinental championship. Soak it in, you won't see this in the brand split, I can't believe they are doing that. 

Overall Rating: 5 out of 10

Good matches, nope, good entertainment? Not really. This was a lousy show with a good main event, that's it.
