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

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

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

WWE Smackdown Live June 26, 2018 Results and Review

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

Rusev defeated Xavier Woods

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

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

Jeff Hardy defeated Eric Young by Disqualification

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

The Usos and Jeff Hardy defeated Sanity

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

Becky Lynch defeated Sonia Deville

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

James Ellsworth Cut A Promo

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

Daniel Bryan defeated Luke Harper via DQ

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

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

WWE 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!

Monday Night Raw March 19, 2018 Results and Review The Ultimate Deletion Showcase

The Ultimate Deletion - SRC Wwe dot com 

Why is it that Monday Night Raw feels like it’s 10 hours long? Even the HULU version is long. This time, I did not make the mistake of watching this thing on Hulu, I was able to watch the whole thing, and well, there are some ups and downs that you should definitely consider when looking at Monday Night Raw from Monday, March 19.

Monday Night Raw March 19, 2018 Results and Review

Brock Lesnar Beat The Bricks off Roman Reigns

Kurt Angle came down to say that Roman shouldn’t be there, and that Lesnar hasn’t arrived. Roman ran his mouth and was then handcuffed by U.S. Marshals. They got handsy with old Roman and he fought them before Brock Lesnar showed up and then beat the bricks off of Roman Reigns, all while he was handcuffed. The fans chanted “You deserved it”, and it’s sad to see that the main event at Wrestlemania may get booed out of the building. I’m not a fan of either these guys right now. This was a cold beat down, and there was no way for Roman to defend himself. I’m shocked at the level of violence allowed here.

Asuka defeated Alexa Bliss via Count Out

Before the match, Alexa Bliss and a fine looking Mickie James were in the ring. She talked about how she had no remorse for talking negatively about Nia Jax. During her promo out came Asuka and she went one on one with Alexa Bliss. If you’re going to build an unstoppable winning machine, why is she taking so much offense from everyone? When they did this with Goldberg, he wasn’t getting slim wins, but that’s how Asuka is getting booked right now. This was actually really good, despite it all, and Alexa eventually just walked out. She was on her way out when Nia Jax showed up to get revenge, and when she ran, Mickie James got caught and got a beat down. Asuka wins, and that’s the big thing here, but James got beat by Nia Jax so there’s that.

Braun Strowman defeated Cesaro

Cesaro was able to garner a win here, and it wasn’t too hard for him. He also stated that he has a partner for Wrestlemania. I am hoping it’s James Ellsworth.

The Revival defeated Titus Worldwide

What would you expect from two jobbers facing off against NXT Elite? I thought for sure the Revival was going to get buried here, but nope, they didn’t. They were able to win with their finisher, and that was that. Titus Worldwide is officially at jobber status if you ask me.

Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville defeated Bayley and Sasha Banks

Before this match Sasha Banks got on the mic and said that she was Bayley’s best friend and that she wanted to be friend still, and Bayley talked about how it was hard to get there etc. This was stupid. Out came Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville and through some shenanigans, a distraction, and some back and forth wrestling, Absolution won and it caused a rift yet again to appear between Bayley and Banks! Paige looks flabby, by the way.

John Cena cut another promo.

John Cena cut a promo on the Undertaker and out came Kane. The Big Slow Machine chokesslammed John Cena and set up a match for next week, and that was that. Not good, not bad, just meh.

The Balor Club defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

The Miz cut the best promo of the night and called out Tyler Black and Prince Nevitte, which was purposely done I’m sure. The Balor Club showed up, which is made up of Finn Balor and the Club Sandwich boys. They would get the win here, but not without knocking out the MIztourage yet again, and getting the upper hand. They would get the pinfall win, but after the match the Miz and crew attacked Balor and that prompted Seth Rollins to come in for the save. The match was ok at best.

Woken Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt in the Ultimate Deletion

This was a fun match, but it wasn’t as good as the TNA ones. It had a lot of brawling, some great introductions, and some nice little points of back and forth fighting and wrestling. There was more pyro here than any other time in WWE from the past year, mind you. Eventually Wyatt got a beat down and lost, getting thrown into the lake of reincarnation and disappearing. This was a great way to end Raw if you ask me. A great overall brawl if you ask me. Not bad, and good comedy, and great way to end what seemed like a 10 hour night of Raw.

Overall, Raw was good if you ask me. It wasn’t bad at times, and it progressed the stories that are going into Wrestlemania, with a focus on the ending with the Ultimate Deletion. However, I didn’t like how Michael Cole was hating on it, what a jerk. Other than that, the final was good, the beat down at the beginning was good, and the in between was just ok.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 1, 2018 Results and Review

Asuka Beats Alexa January 1, 2018 - SRC WWE dot com

Instead of joining the New Year with a full 3 hours of Raw, I’m going to be reviewing the HULU edition. Why? Because I read the results, and I don’t want to see 9 hours of Raw. That’s a joke, but if you’re suffering through the full show, then I feel bad for you. It’s a ridiculous amount of talking, and not wrestling. Then again, here’s the 90 minute version and I nearly fell asleep at the end with Paul Heyman and the part time jobber of a champion Brock Lesnar. With that in mind, let’s talk about Monday Night Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 1, 2017 Results and Review

The night opened up with Kurt Angle talking about the Women’s Royal Rumble, and it was basic. I already know the rules. It’s dumb.

Jason Jordan defeated Cesaro

The Bar came out to confront Kurt Angle, and then demanded a title match. He didn’t give them one. Instead, he put in Jason Jordan versus Cesaro, and that wasn’t half bad. It was ok. Jordan is a good wrestler, but I don’t’ want to see him wrestle, let alone defeating Cesaro. This is dumb. It’s lame. Cesaro can’t even defeat Jason Jordan? Wow. Story line wise this is stupid, the match was ok, but wow, the WWE really loves Jason Jordan, and yet I don’t.

Bray Wyatt defeated Apollo Crews

THIS WAS NOT ON HULU.

Asuka defeated Alexa Bliss

This was a clustered match with Asuka beating the champion in a non-championship title match. Alexa Bliss works well with some women, but here, she didn’t work well at all. She seemed a bit confused at times, and the match was clumsy, leading to Asuka winning yet again.

Women’s revolution? Hmm, where were the rest of the women? Sleeping?

Braun Strowman defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

Strowman buried the tag team, and that’s the end of all of the Nexus guys.

Roman Reigns defeated Samoa Joe

Not a terrible match, mind you, but definitely not a good outing for Samoa Joe, as he loses yet again. He loses here, and Reigns keeps the title. This is not great, because all of this time we’ve been seeing Joe choke out people, and dominate, but now, eh, he’s just talk. He reminds me of Kevin Sullivan’s attempt to beat up Hulk Hogan and Macho Man, only to lose every single time. It’s sad, to be honest.

Cedric Alexander and Goldust defeated Drew Gulak Ariya Daivari

This was not shown on HULU.

Finn Balor, The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Elias and The MIztourage

This wasn’t that bad. However, you knew the Club Sandwich guys were winning, since Finn Balor has been winning against any jobber put against him. Not a bad thing, but not a great thing. You knew who was winning here, and while the match wasn’t that great, it wasn’t terrible either. Elias is so good, and yet he’s not getting wins. Finn is just another Alex Wright clone to me, and well, The Club are just a bunch of, wait for it, NERDS!

Brock Lesnar Earns His Paycheck

Brock Lesnar gets paid 12 million dollars for part time work, and he has to put over Kane here. It’s stupid. It’s just stupid. I’m tired of this.

Raw wasn’t terrible, mind you. But it’s ok. I’ve expected this from Raw, and well, it wasn’t great, but it wasn’t the worst show I’ve ever seen either.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 25, 2017 Results and Review Chicago Still Loves Punk

The ZO Train - SRC WWE dot com 

The biggest thing that I recall from the start of Raw was not the people involved, but the crowd. The crowd was chanting CM Punk for the whole thing. They were going crazy with the Punk chants, and that’s something that is absolutely fun to see and hear, I’m sure. I was loving that.

Elias and Cena’s opening segment was good, and Elias is gold on the mic, if you ask me. That was a great way to open things up, and get Cena roped in, only for him to sucker punch him and start the night of wrestling.

John Cena defeated Elias

Elias took control over all of this match. Cena was behind throughout, and Elias looked like a million bucks, that is until he met John Cena’s five moves of doom. As much as you can hate on Cena, he is so crisp in the ring sometimes, and he did well to let Elias have a lot of his offense in this match, but it proves ineffective if he never loses, and well, he lost this one thanks to Cena and the crowd ate it up. I liked it, a good match, for the most part.

Hideo Itami defeated The Brian Kendrick

Itami looks like a shell of his former self. He won this match, and it was awful. I didn’t like this at all. It was boring. The Brian Kendrick’s wrestling is a bit slower, more methodical now, and it’s just not as good as when he was flying around. I get it. I get it, but Itami here just doesn’t look great. I also don’t like to hear him yelling “RESPECT ME”, which is stupid. I hate that. Stop it. I’m not going to respect someone that’s yelling at me to respect them. It’s stupid.

Absolution defeated Sasha Banks, Bayley and Mickie James

If you didn’t think that the RAW brand was the number one show for the WWE, then watch this. Absolution won again, but the Riot Squad didn’t win on Smackdown. Oh well. Anyways, this match wasn’t half bad, it had a lot of back and forth, with a beat down that would end up getting Paige over more than anything. It’s funny, Paige has 40 new videos leaked, and it seems like no one knows. Not a bad match, not a crazy good one, but it had enough gusto to work.

Kane defeated Heath Slater

He didn’t win, he buried Slater. Heath Slater and Rhyno were great. They were getting a lot of crowd response, and then what? Dead. They are gone, and buried. I didn’t like this match. There was a sign in the crowd telling Kane to go back to being mayor or something. This was abysmal.

Finn Balor defeated Curt Hawkins

Well, here we go again, another burial. Curt Hawkins buried. There’s not much else for this. It’s a burial.

Matt Hardy attacked Bray Wyatt

That’s it. Hardy showed up and beat up Bray Wyatt, that was it. Meh.

Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, and Akira Tozawa defeated Enzo Amore, Drew Gulak, and Ariya Daivari in a Miracle on 34 TH Street Fight Match

This was like watching old ECW, and it wasn’t that bad. I loved the guys dressing up and it was fun to see. However, the crowd wasn’t that into it. The ZO train loses here, and it’s a fun match to see. Lots of action, back and forth, and great hardcore rules. I had fun, I don’t know what else to say. Everyone got their stuff in by the way, good stuff. If you’re going to watch the show and want to skip a lot, don’t skip this one, it’s fun.

Samoa Joe defeated Roman Reigns by DQ

This was a good back and forth match. Roman Reigns wasn’t bad, but Joe would lose here. Lots of action here, Joe hit his moves, Reigns hit all of his moves, and eventually he ended up going too far and causing the disqualification. That was the end of the match, for the most part. Don’t skip this one either, it was a good match.

Braun Strowman defeated The Miztourage in a secret santa match

Strowman buried the Miztourage. Meh.

Asuka is In The Rumble

Asuka came out and knocked out Alexa Bliss after saying she’s in the Rumble, in broken English.

Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan defeated Cesaro and Sheamus for the WWE Tag Team Champions

This wasn’t a terrible match, mind you. It had some great moments and lots of back and forth action. The teams are great, but in the end, it was Jason Jordan and Rollins that would get the big win. Perhaps this win was because Sheamus has a legit injury. I don’t know. Either way, the show ended with Jordan winning and Rollins holding the titles high. A good way to end the night, and something to watch out for, a classic moment for Raw.

There you go, Raw goes well tonight, and it’s not grand, but it went well for the most part. Enzo almost kissed Nia Jax, The Miztourage were singing and giving away gifts, and it was a funny night. Not bad. Not great.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 18, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fires of All Dumpsters

Alex Wright > Finn Balor 

I’m not sure how to even frame this positively. I guess I can see it in a positive light, but it’s hard for me to do so. The reason being is simple, it’s very difficult to be a long time fan and not ask questions about what is going on. I guess I’ll just talk about the HULU version because hey, that’s what I have to watch these days.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 18, 2017 Results and Review

Kurt Angle comes out, and out come Kane and Braun Strowman, and that forces Angle to announce that the two of them will face Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble for the title. I do not want to see this at all. Absolutely, do not want to see anything with these three. I can’t wait for Lesnar to escape for another win, and then get paid more than any other champion on the roster, and work less dates than everyone else. I’m tired of Lesnar, it’s that simple.

Seth Rollins defeated Jason Jordan

Why? Just why does Jason Jordan get so much time to lose? Seth Rollins takes him on and wants Samoa Joe too, and well, he first beats Jordan in a competitive match, and then Rollins would get the win. This isn’t a bad match, but it’s not that great. It has the same spots you’d expect, but I feel like I’ve seen so much Jason Jordan losses, that it just gets boring for me.

Finn Balor and Hideo Itami defeated The Miztourage

Finn Balor started with fighting The Miztourage, and it wasn’t that great. He was having a hard time with the two, and out came Hideo Itami and that set up a Straight up Tag team Match Playa! The match had Balor getting beat up a lot, and it was awful. Balor was getting beat up and beat up, and then got the tag for Itami and that was the end. He tore through the jobbers and that’s the end of that. I don’t see the big deal with this guy, at least not in WWE.

Cedric Alexander defeated Drew Gulak to earn the right to challenge Enzo Amore

This was not shown on HULU.

Asuka defeated Alicia Fox

This was not shown on HULU

The Bar and Samoa Joe defeated Ambrose, Rollins, and Jason Jordan

This was not a great match, and since Ambrose is injured, Jordan and Rollins already had a match earlier, this was not going to be good. It was mediocre at best, and had a lot of great elements, as the teams are good to work with the teams. This is not a terrible match, mind you, but I feel like I’ve seen this so many times it was just boring to me.

Matt Hardy did a promo.

This was not shown on HULU

The Revival defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

This was not shown on HULU

Elias is in the 2018 Rumble.

Meh

Stephanie McMahon Announcement

What can I say? McMahon came out and said there will be a women’s Royal Rumble match. I didn’t care. Are there even 30 women on the roster? Ugh. Ok well, good for them?

Raw had so little wrestling that I took a nap immediately afterward. This was a dumpster fire of Raw, and reminded me of WCW Thunder.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 11, 2017 Results and Review The Same Old Stuff

Roman Reigns vs. Cesaro WWE Raw - Source WWE dot com 

If you watch the HULU version of Monday Night Raw, then you know that the good stuff isn’t that good, but at least it wasn’t 9 hours long. Ok, it’s supposed to be 3 hours long, but honestly, the WWE wastes a lot of time with what they are doing. Whatever the case may be, you’ll find that this is a show that has hits and misses, but mostly misses.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 11, 2017 Results and Review

The opening had Samoa Joe cutting a great promo and calling out Roman Reigns. That brought out the rest of the shield, but only after The Bar showed up to help Joe beat up Roman. This took forever it seemed.

Paige and Mandy Rose defeated Bayley and Mickie James

This wasn’t a bad match, but the timing was off at several times. Paige is actually really good, and Many Rose is fine. Mickie James made this match awesome, as her timing is great, but Bayley had a few points where it just didn’t seem like she knew how to work or what she was doing. I was so focused on what she was and wasn’t doing, that I ended up having to hate this math. Paige is still fluid, and Rose was good in ring, but Bayley seemed a little lost, but oh well. This match was decent, especially for a television match.

Woken Matty Hardy and Bray Wyatt Did a Promo

This was boring. It seemed too manufactured.

Finn Balor defeated Curtis Axel

This was not shown on HULU.

Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus

This was a decent match, and despite Sheamus having a neck injury, he was bumping like he felt fine. Rollins did his normal push, but Sheamus was right there with him to counter attacks. Despite a flurry of offense from Sheamus, Rollins was able to get the big win, and it was entertaining to see. This match was good, but I’m honestly tired of seeing these teams wrestling one on one moving forward to a tag team title match.

Cedric Alexander defeated Mustafa Ali, Tony Nese, and Ariya Daivari

Since Rich Swann was arrested and suspended, here comes Cedric Alexander. This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Roman Reigns defeated Cesaro

Cesaro got an intercontinental championship match, and it was good. Cesaro is one of the best wrestlers in the world and it showed. Roman Reigns tried to keep up but it seemed as though Cesaro was one step ahead of him throughout, including blocking the Superman punch, the driveby, and many other moves that Reigns through at him. A great match with a terrible spear ending and Reigns coming out on top.

Absolution Attacked Asuka

This was just a beat down, nothing more. Asuka did manage to clear a few of the girls, but wasn’t able to get the upper hand without help.

Samoa Joe defeated Dean Ambrose

This was not shown on HULU.

Braun Strowman vs. Kane ended in a double count-out

I do not want to see Kane wrestle any longer. Strowman had to sell his offense, and Kane didn’t seem dominant! He kept cowering at times, and it just made Strowman look stronger, while making Kane look like an idiot. The match ended in a double count-out when Strowman speared Kane through the ringside barrier. Then a table was setup in ring and Strowman drilled Kane through it, but it was too little too late.

That was Raw. For a roster that is so full, I feel like we see the same thing over and over again. I guess that’s just the case for WWE today.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 27, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire

Asuka - Source WWE dot com 

Within a few minutes of the show starting I already regretted watching Raw. The announce team is nonsensical, and it’s just so bad, that I can’t wait to watch something else for another website that I write. I almost switched it to Spanish, because it’s so bad. I haven’t heard an announce team this bad since I watched last week’s Smackdown. I hate Phillips. Anyways, tonight was a terrible showcase of Raw, and you know it’s bad when you are watching the HULU version and say this. So let’s discuss what went down and how bad it could’ve been, because it was awful.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 27, 2017 Results and Review

Elias and The Miztourage showed up to crash the Roman Reigns introduction. Roman talks too much, and he wears the belt like he’s disrespecting it, which I hate. It’s stupid. Elias and Miz’s crew came out and said that he would take on Reigns for the IC title later in the show, and that was that.

Seth Rollins defeated Cesaro

I hate singles matches that carry out a feud for the tag division. I would rather see tag teams facing off to rise through the ranks to get a title shot. Not just this stupid cycle of single victories. Seth Rollins and Cesaro put on a good show, and they are great at what they do, but the bigger picture is about the tag team gold, and I didn’t really care about this at all, and I don’t know anyone that cared about it either. It’s stupid if you ask me. Good match though, so in that sense, this was the best part about Raw tonight.

Samoa Joe defeated Titus O’Neil

This was not shown on HULU.

Paige, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville confronted and beat down Sasha Banks

Not the boss any more are you Sasha? Wait, does she read my blog? Hey girl, hey?! The trio of new comers showed up and just beat down Banks and that’s that. Backstage her teammates were all taken out so it was Banks alone to get a beat down. Quick question, where was Nia Jax? Just asking.

Bray Wyatt defeated Matt Hardy

This was not shown on HULU.

Rich Swann defeated Akira Tozawa, Noam Dar, and Ariya Daivari

This was not shown on HULU.

Roman Reigns defeated Elias in the Intercontinental Title Match

Holy crap, Elias! Elias is like a jacked Macho Man, and he has all of the makings of a big star if you ask me. I don’t know how far they will push him, but he came out here and put the boots to Roman Reigns. Reigns was viciously attacked by Elias, and wow, what amazing showcase of talent. Even with the Miztourage helping, Roman Reigns would win, but this was not an easy fight for him at all. Elias shined here, and his top rope elbow drop would make even Macho Man proud.

Post match, Samoa Joe choked out Reigns on the ramp, and he may be next in line for an Intercontinental Title Shot, only to lose.

Asuka defeated Dana Brooke

This is just what it sounds like, a beat down. Dana Brooke didn’t last more than 5 seconds here, and that was that. She got buried.

Kane defeated Jason Jordan via Count Out

This was a terrible match. Jordan played that his knee was injured and got counted out. That prompted Finn Balor aka Alex Wright 2.0 to come out and fight Kane, only to lead to a disqualification when Braun Strowman interfered. What a pathetic showcase.

So that was that. This night of Raw felt like it was 4 hours long if you ask me. I can’t believe how awful this night of wrestling was, and you know what, it’s a dumpster fire that is going to continue until the Royal Rumble if you ask me. Oh well. Maybe Smackdown will be better?

WWE Monday Night Raw November 20, 2017 Results and Review Make Roman Strong Again

Balor - Buried - SOURCE WWE DOT COM

I’m so tired of Roman Reigns, and the booking to make him strong. So much so, that I hated that part of Raw. But let’s talk about how it all went down for Monday, November 20, 2017 as we get another Raw show from Houston, Texas. This is going to be bad at times, and good at times, depending on how you look at it.

WWE Monday Night Raw November 20, 2017 Results and Review

The first thing that happened was something I absolutely hated. Stephanie McMahon came out and decided to talk, and I’m tired of all the talking on Raw. This is where Triple H came down, then Kurt Angle, then Jason Jordan, and Braun Strowman. A match was set for Strowman and Jason Jordan later, even though he wanted to battle Triple H after what happened last night. Stephanie said that Kurt didn’t have the authority to make that match, which is stupid, but ok, I’ll take it. This led to a match set up for Braun Strowman and Jason Jordan.

Samoa Joe defeated Finn Balor

The second coming of Alex Wright loses again. Joe is so agile, it’s impressive. He went through a great deal of offense to throw down Balor here, but Balor was no push over. He took joe to several limits, but it was Joe that would get the win here, and well, that’s the end of Balor, right? He loses a lot.

Asuka defeated Dana Brooke

Like you would expect anything else from this match. Dana Brooke was foil for Asuka to battle through, and that’s it.

Dean Ambrose defeated Sheamus

This wasn’t a terrible match, mind you, it was just filler for an otherwise bland show. Ambrose is better as part of the shield than he is solo if you ask me. Sheamus was able to throw down some good offense, but could not defeat Ambrose, who kept kicking out left and right, eventually getting the big win, for whatever reason, I don’t know.

Paige Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose broke up a Fatal Four Way

Pagie showed up, and well she looked like the Joker. The fans went nuts for her, and she brought out two women from NXT. They all attacked the 4 women in the ring trying to battle for the number one contendership, and that’s that. They left them all laying in the ring, and that’s that. Paige is cool I guess. The other two I’m not familiar with, because I haven’t watched NXT as much.

Braun Strowman defeated Jason Jordan via DQ

You know how this was going to go, right? Strowman fought a good fight here, and Jordan tried to battle back. However, Kane showed up and beat up Strowman. Yes, KANE came back, after a week of going through the ring, and he beat up Strowman. I am so tired of Kane.

Rich Swann, Cedric Alexander, Akira Tozawa, and Mustafa Ali defeated The Zo Train

Well, I’m tired of the good guys always winning. I’m so tired, that this match wasn’t that fun to watch. Sure, it had a few moments of fun, but it’s just such a dichotomy to see Enzo now having friends, after he got a beat down from the guys on the roster just a few weeks ago. Not only that, the good guys just plow through these bad guys like it’s nothing, and it makes no sense to me, honestly. Not a bad match, not a great match.

Matt Hardy attacked Elias

So Matt Hardy isn’t broken yet, and he attacked Elias. They are totally going to screw this thing up, aren’t they?

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship

You gotta keep Roman Reigns strong. And well, that’s what happened. Reigns was able to plow through the Miz yet again, and left him laying in the middle of the ring after throwing down every part of his offense. The Miz loses, and that’s the end. Roman Reigns is not the intercontinental champion, and he is going to start an open challenge coming soon. Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. I don’t know what else to say about this one.

The night of Wrestling seemed like it was 9 hours long. I am not sure why they didn’t follow up a great deal with the night before, but hey, that’s just what happens.

WWF Wrestlemania X7 Results and Review Stone Cold Turns Super Heel

The Astrodome played home for the biggest event of 2001. This was the biggest Wrestlemania in my memory. In 2001, the WWF was riding all time high attendance, and ratings. WCW was no competition, and no one could hold a candle to what the WWF was doing with the Attitude Era. This event went live on April 1, 2001 and I watched it live with my friends Lump and Carlo Moss. I’m sure they are out there somewhere. What’s up guys?!

This had some hits and misses, like any other event, but the big main event really had things going over the top. The gross ticket sales amounted to 3.4 million dollars, and nearly 70,000 people saw this live. I would’ve gone, had I been able to, that’s for sure. If you’re a fan of Limp Bizkit, then you’ll love that the show kept playing “My Way”. Anyways, here is how it all went down and my thoughts about the matches.

WWF Wrestlemania X7 Results

Chris Jericho defeated William Regal (Intercontinental Championship Match)
Tazz and the APA defeated Right To Censor
Kane defeated Raven and The Big Show (Hardcore Title Match)
Eddie Guerrero defeated Test (European Title Match)
Kurt Angle defeated Chris Benoit
Chyna defeated Ivory (Women’s Title Match)
Shane McMahon defeated Mr. McMahon in a Street Fight (with Mick Foley as referee)
Edge and Christian defeated The Dudleys, and The Hardys
The Iron Sheik won a gimmick Battle Royal
The Undertaker defeated Triple H
Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Rock (WWF Title)

WWF Wrestlemania X7 Review

NOTE: There was a dark match for Sunday Night Heat, but they didn’t show it for the full event, and on the network, sorry.

Chris Jericho defeated William Regal (Intercontinental Championship Match)

This was an odd choice to open the show, if you ask me. The two men are great at what they do, but this was less than exciting. It was more mat based than anything, even though Jericho was doing some of his normal flying through the air. Regal was definitely doing his hard style English wrestling, so that was interesting against Jericho’s flights. Jericho would get the win and Regal would lose another shot at the IC Title.

Tazz and the APA defeated Right To Censor

This 4 minue match was fun, and should’ve been the opener if you ask me. When Tazz came out the crowd went ballistic, alongside the APA. Right To Censor died a death here, and all members got beat down by Tazz and the APA. Bradshaw’s clotheslines are scary, he probably would’ve knocked me the hell out. Fast paced, to the point, only 4 minutes of action, but well worth it.

Kane defeated Raven and The Big Show (Hardcore Title Match)

My favorite wrestler growing up was Raven. Well, my teenage years anyways. This match was fun. A brawl that went through the back. Watch out for Raven getting thrown through a window, Big Show getting thrown through a wall, and Kane jumping off the stage for the win. This was a wild brawl that was a testament to the Hardcore Title back in the day.

Eddie Guerrero defeated Test (European Title Match)

This was not a great match. Test did an ok job with Guerrero, but this felt really forced. I didn’t really like it that match, and if you remember the storylines. Test is lumbering, and Guerrero did his best, but this match didn’t feel that great, and the crowd wasn’t as over. Guerrero had better matches in WWF, this wasn’t one of them.

Kurt Angle defeated Chris Benoit

This was a stellar mat wrestling match. This was two wrestlers in their primes, and they traded suplexes, slams, and more. Kurt Angle would get the win, but not without Benoit going down swinging. This was no doubt one of the better matches on the card.

Chyna defeated Ivory (Women’s Title Match)

A burial. This went a little over than 2 minutes and it was bad.

Shane McMahon defeated Mr. McMahon in a Street Fight (with Mick Foley as referee)

In only 15 minutes, Shane McMahon and Vince put on a street fight for the ages. This was so great, and the two basically got out all of their aggression. It was absolutely insane. You have to see this match. Shane and Vince busted wide open, Foley trying to control things. Linda McMahon crotch shots, so much more. This was pure hell, and just insane. Great stuff here.

Edge and Christian defeated The Dudleys, and The Hardys

If the Street Fight wasn’t enough, this match won you over in about 16 minutes. These three teams went toe to toe in a TLC match. Every hit here had to hurt, and every fall was insane. The guys threw themselves around so much, I had no idea how they were still standing afterwards. Triple table breaks, ladder shots, and falls that were just too much. Edge and Christian got a little help, and won, but wow, what a match.

The Iron Sheik won a gimmick Battle Royal

There were 18 people that came down for this match including Repo Man, Earthquake, The Goon, Kamala, Brother Love, Jim Cornette, and so many others. Sheik won by eliminating Hillbilly Jim, and this was just filler but fun no doubt.

The Undertaker defeated Triple H

This was not a good match. The Undertaker and Triple H put on a slow moving, boring match if you ask me. It was a brawl, it went into the crowd, Triple H used the sledgehammer, but it was far from their battles that would come down the line for retirement. Undertaker was great here, Triple H was carrying too much weight if you ask me.

Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated The Rock (WWF Title)

Holy crap. 30 minutes of pure good wrestling. Austin couldn’t put away The Rock, he just couldn’t do it. So he eventually had the help of Vince McMahon. Jim Ross called it best, “Steve Austin is shaking hands with Satan himself!”. Whatever the case was, the crowd went absolutely nuts for the near falls in this match, and the end, holy crap, holy crap. When Austin won, even with Vince’s help, the crowd went ballistic, and just so much fun.

Final Verdict

WWF Wrestlemania X7 is by far one of the best events that the WWF has ever put together. I loved it. It was absolutely fun. If you find this on dvd, you have to get it. The edits from the network are dumb, and they don’t give you the Sunday Night Heat match. Great overall event though, man this was fun. I’d watch it again, no doubt.

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 November 20, 2016 Results and Review The Burial of Brock Lesnar

Buried!!!!

I was excited for this pay per view, and wanted to go to Toronto, but wasn’t able to get there. I saw this on the network with no major problems, and did not watch the pre-show. I wasn’t going to sit for 2 hours or 3 hours ahead of what I thought was going to be a 4 hour show. It wasn’t 4 hours, thankfully.

WWE Survivor Series November 20, 2016 Review

As I stated, I did not see the pre-show so I cannot comment on the first two matches that opened. Oh well.

Team Raw def. Team SmackDown LIVE in a 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Women’s Elimination Match

Team Raw’s women won a great overall women’s match, but the crowd was somewhat quiet. Nia Jax was the star here. The double suplex absolutely had me marking out. I loved it. Great stuff from them. Great overall match, lots of back and forth, lots of fighting. Raw won, after a length battle, and boom, the women’s revolution is back full circle to diva status opening the main show.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Sami Zayn

The Miz and Zayn put on a halfway decent match, but it was mostly boring. I didn’t like it. I thought Zayn was supposed to win this, but nope. The Miz cheated, and that was that. Not a great match, not a bad match, but definitely a lot to be desired.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Team Raw def. Team SmackDown LIVE in a 10-on-10 Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Match

Now this was a boring match. It was a boring moving tag match with a lot of boredom. However, the win was nice with Enzo and Cass putting on a major show. I loved that. It was great to see that, and the crowd popped, but other than that, it was somewhat forgettable to me.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

WWE Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick def. Kalisto

Kendrick and Kalisto put on a great match for a crowd that didn’t appreciate it. It was a fun match, no doubt, but Corbin ran in and messed things up. Kalisto is good, but not good enough to win here, and Kendrick keeps the guys on raw. Kendrick’s promo before the match was great.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Team SmackDown LIVE def. Team Raw in a 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Men’s Elimination Match

Great stuff. Great stuff all around. Styles and Ambrose pushed their feud, but alas, Roman remained strong. Roman remained STRONG all the way until the loss. Shane nearly dying from a concussion was insane, it’s time for him to go. Lots of action, a long match, and just a lot of fun. The Shield reunited for a moment, and the crowd was way into this match, great stuff.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Goldberg def. Brock Lesnar

No one called this. I loved it. An absolute burial! Goldberg hit 2 spears, and a jackhammer, and that was that. The crowd went insane, people were shocked, and that was the show! Great stuff, I loved it.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

And that’s that. Not a great show, but lots of fun in the matches, etc. Good stuff. Ended early, made me hit the gym. Oh well.

WWE Smackdown Live October 11, 2016 Results and Review WTF

Best Part of Smackdown 

Holy crap did Smackdown drop off a cliff this week. After an interesting PPV, albeit somewhat odd, this night of Smackdown was just awful, and here are my thoughts on the Hulu edition of it.

WWE Smackdown Live October 11, 2016 Results

Dolph Ziggler def. The Spirit Squad
Naomi def. Carmella
Jimmy Uso def. Chad Gable
James Ellsworth def. AJ Styles with Dean Ambrose as guest referee
Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper def. Randy Orton & Kane

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.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Jimmy Uso def. Chad Gable

Boring match, nothing great here. I fell asleep.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

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 Smackdown October 4, 2016 Results and Review A Terrible Night of Wrestling

What's Up Konnan!!!!

WWE Smackdown is supposed to be better than Raw. Up to this point, they were doing well, but this show, this was the most terrible showcase of the brand split. It’s absolutely horrendous what they are doing with this, and despite my objections, I sat through it all enough to review it below.

WWE Smackdown October 4, 2016 Review

Kane defeated Bray Wyatt via Count Out

You did not read that wrong. Bray Wyatt and Kane faced off again! The same match we had at the PPV, and where was Orton? Not wrestling. He was setting up a trap for Wyatt. Whatever the case is, this match sucked, and while Kane is a good worker, he’s lost in this shuffle. I was bored, the crowd wasn’t into it, and this match ended with a count out. Who cares?

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

The Divas Are Back!

The women’s tag team match was set up like Teddy Long. This was a “straight up” tag team match, and guess what? It blew chunks. This match reminded me exactly of the divas era, and nothing more than that. I am not impressed with any of the women in this match, and just hope that they pull together a better option down the line. I’m not going to stop calling them divas, by the way, so kick rocks.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

The Hype Bros defeated The Vaudevillains

Oh boy. Remember when The Vaudevillains had that huge push, and they were getting a lot of attention from NXT and Blue Pants, and so much more? Well no one else does, they didn’t get an entrance here, the Hype Bros won big, and that was that. This is a sad day for a bygone era.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

The Spirit Squad Returned!

The Spirit Squad came back and beat up Dolph Ziggler. I really hope that Dolph just goes away. He has to lose and I hope that the WWE uses Miz to get even more and more heat. He should adopt the Chris Jericho defeat gimmick from 1998, taking pieces of his victims. I loved WCW back when Jericho was doing that, and 1998 was a great one for the cruiserweight title and Jericho. This sucked.

Jason Jordan defeated Jay Uso

This match was so fast, that I didn’t have time to eat my oatmeal. It sucked.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Jack Swagger defeated Baron Corbin

What the hell ref? Corbin was reaching for the ropes, but the ref called it a tap out and that was that. Swagger wins, Corbin throws a fit, and I don’t know, this was just stupid.
Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Randy Orton captured Bray Wyatt and he escaped.

Sister Abigail helped Wyatt. Oh well.

Aj Styles, John Cena and Dean Ambrose brawled, and that was that.

This show was absolutely terrible. It was not good at all, and no one can justify it. It’s just a sad sack of a show, face it.

WWE Backlash 2016 Results and Review

Dean Ambrose's Reign Was Worse Than Any Roman Reigns Title Reign

This past weekend, WWE had a ppv that I didn’t get to watch at first, but eventually figured it out and saw it. I also caught that CM Punk fight, if you can call it that. Good stuff. Here’s what I thought about the big one from Smackdown Live.

WWE Backlash 2016 Review

Baron Corbin def. Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews has been brought up to the big leagues to be a jobber. The WWE is not good at putting together good talent, sometimes, huh? Whatever.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Becky Lynch won the Six-Pack Challenge to become the first SmackDown Women’s Champion

Holy Crap! The women actually put on a showcase of great wrestling. There’s a lot to this, and if you didn’t see it, go back and watch it. Smackdown’s women are great, and I dare say better than Raw. I couldn’t believe the timing on some of this stuff, and it was definitely worth their position on the night.

Matching Rating: 4 out of 5

The Usos def. The Hype Bros in a Second Chance Challenge

Boring.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Dolph Ziggler

The Miz put on one of his best matches ever. He was mocking Daniel Bryan the whole time. Ziggler at this point is nothing more than a jobber. Good performance, but Miz once again shows why he’s been in the ring for over a decade, without injury. There were some brutal spots here, though, so good overall showing.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Kane def. Bray Wyatt in a No Holds Barred Match

Orton couldn’t compete so Kane took his place. There was only one good spot here and it was Bray Wyatt doing a senton on Kane through a table. Other than that, nothing. Wyatt is the eater of pins at this point.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Heath Slater & Rhyno def. The Usos to become the first SmackDown Tag Team Champions

This was awesome, but not because of the match. The match was ok, but it was Heath Slater getting so much crowd reaction that made this one. Rhyno and Slater managed to pull off the big victory, and I’m glad it went down this way. This has been the most compelling long-term story line that the WWE has created in a long time. Slater and Rhyno work very well together and I’m glad that this turned out to be a contract winning match.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

AJ Styles def. Dean Ambrose to win the WWE World Championship

Now this was great match, in fact, one of the best matches I’ve seen in a long time. This was a back and forth affair, but really, it was Aj Styles proving why he is the best in the world right now. Ambrose was resting on his laurels again, doing the same old moves he does, but there were shining moments. However, it was Styles that was making this a compelling match up overall. I loved it. Lots of great moments, and the Styles Clash finish was great. Styles is your new champion!

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Overall Backlash was very good, I liked it. It was like watching a glorified Tuesday night Smackdown, but overall it had some great wrestling. The last two matches were my favorites, and they really seemed to drive a good feeling into the crowd. Good stuff.

WWE Smackdown August 6, 2016 Results and Review: Dean Ambrose Transitional Champion

Dean Ambrose Is A Transitional Champion 

Smackdown tries so hard, and yet I don’t find a lot of the show interesting. It’s just boring, and therefore I’m going to give a quick review here, because I want to go take a nap.

WWE Smackdown August 6, 2016 Review

Let’s start with what I remember, and that’s a women’s division talking segment. I honestly don’t care about any of the divas on Smackdown. That’s right, they are nothing more than Divas to me right now.

The Miz buries Apollo Crews

The promising guy from NXT is nothing more than another Bobby Lashley, only he is being booked way worse. Miz wins, burying Apollo Crews and any momentum he had at any given moment.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

American Alpha defeated The Usos

Wait, they BURIED the Usos, let’s call it for what it was. Not only that, the Usos turned heel. I don’t care about the teams on Smackdown except for Heath Slater, to be honest.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Kane Sucks.

Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Hype Bros.

Yes! This was the highlight of my night, and I really hope that Slater gets his contract. I haven’t been so wrapped up in a WWE storyline in a long time, and this is a winner. I hope that they don’t drop the ball with him however.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

That’s it for Smackdown. Oh right, Dean Ambrose was out with Aj Styles, resting on his laurels. I don’t like this version of Dean Ambrose. He is no longer the lunatic fringe, he’s the boring transitional champion.

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/13/2016 Results and Review The Revolution Is Here

What is the definition of Revolution?

An instance of revolving. Synonyms include turn, single turn, rotation, circle, spin, and 180 degrees.

That is what Raw is wright now. It’s fully spun around to the same old BS that everyone hates, and this is a prime example of how far we have come to a terrible resolution of wrestling. But hey, it’s Raw, it’s the flagship show, let’s see what happened on the HULU edition no less.

WWE Monday Night Raw 6/13/2016 Results

The New Day showed up to star the show after a moment of silence for Orlando. They made fun of the new Steph Curry shoe, then got interrupted by Enzo and Cass. You know, let’s start Raw with 30 minutes of talking, instead of wrestling.

“Kofi are you serious with those Jerry Seinfeld joints you have on there?”

Quote of the Night!!!!

The Vaudevillains and The Club Sandwich Boys defeated The New Day and Enzo and Cass

This was a good opening match, lots of great back and forth, with no one looking to dominant. Of course the New Day would take the fall here, making them look vulnerable heading into Money in The Bank. Not a bad match by any means, but I have a feeling that New Day may in fact get away with this one yet again.

The Ambrose Asylum sucked. The Shield is ok, I never bought into their hype. Plus, as I recall, CM PUNK beat them 3 on 1! These guys suck, Ambrose is supposed to be the lunatic fringe and yet he’s here doing nothing but watching two idiots talking to each other. SAME OLD SHI….you know. Waste of time.

Paige defeated Charlotte (non title)

Anyone that thought that there would be a Divas Revolution should shut their big fat faces. I called it! Less than 5 minutes for this match, and it’s all the same, same old BS treatment of the women’s division. Who gives a flying you know what? Not me.

Sami Zayn defeated Cesaro

I’m not sure if this match was longer for the broadcast, but the HULU version was fast, condensed, and well, lacked anything that I would call an epic. It short, fast, and Zayn won. I don’t know much else, but it was not as great as people on Twitter were talking about.

Alberto Del Rio and Kevin Owens defeated The Lucha Dragons

This match was the best one on Raw. There was a major story told between Del Rio and Owens, in which they couldn’t get along. Earlier in the show Owens snitched on Del Rio being late. It was fun. The whole match and segments with Owens is good, and the story moves along. He’s quite the story teller.

Dean Ambrose defeated Chris Jericho

The rest of the Money In The Bank guys were at ringside doing various jobs, making this watchable. Dean Ambrose finally won, but at this point, who cares? The guys in the MITB match came in and started doing their finishers, and that’s that.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 10

This was not a good show. I wouldn’t watch this again. While the ending was good, and the story of Owens and Del Rio was good, the rest was a lot of wasted time to me. I know that Cena is going to bury, Stephanie and Shane will argue, and I just don’t care right now. This show was half garbage, so it gets 5 out of 10 suckers. Oh and no I didn't mark out for Corporate Kane coming back.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results and Review 1/26/2016 The Dufus Son In Law Is The Champion

CM Punk said it right. When he left, us wrestling fans would be stuck with Vince McMahon’s dufus son in law and idiot daughter. That’s how we open Raw, and that’s what you’re going to be spoon fed going into Wrestlemania for a match between Triple H and possibly Roman Reigns. I don’t like it, and well, you probably don’t, but let’s make the best of it, right? Here are my thoughts on the HULU edition of Raw, since I don’t have the heart to see 3 hours of a show.

The show opens up with The Idiot Daughter, Vinnie Mac, and the Dufus Son In Law. What is this 1999? Oh well, positivity! Don’t be sour! Ugh.

Opening Segment

Triple H running down Roman Reigns to try and put him over is stupid. This is the same water treaded over and over again from the past. I know history repeats itself, but meh, meh is all I can say. With the sole exception of the fans cheering Trips and chanting Aj Styles. Styles, man, what a catch for the WWE if they don’t bury him with bad gimmicks, and getting pinned by The Big Slow…Show. Tired, that’s what this is.

Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler (burial)

Kevin Owens buried Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler and Owens had a very short match in which Owens just dominated for the most part. Owens didn’t sell last night’s Rumble beating he took or anything. It is what it is. He’s very good, but it pains me to no end to see Ziggler getting buried yet again. WWE likes to throw out shovels, I guess.

The Dudley Boyz defeated The Social Media Jobbers Outcasts Etc. (burial)

Way to bury more talent WWE. The Dudley Boyz win after Flor Rida has an interaction. Bo Dallas rapping was funny, but the short match that ensued was not. Terrible.

Aj Styles defeated Chris Jericho (sirjorgewwwe's Match of the Night)

This was not a 4 star classic. However, Styles absolutely blew away the critics. The missed Frog Splash had so much air, it was insane. The reversal finish roll up sequence, although short, was genius, and Jericho versus Styles can’t be over. These two are destined to have a serious amount of matches, with Styles getting the final rub, and probably his first loss to Jericho in the near future. Whatever the case may be, Aj Styles definitely showcased professionalism, and that he belongs in the WWE.

Sasha Banks versus Becky Lynch (No Contest)

Charlotte interfered in this match. But what got me was the commentary. JBL goes, “look at that hair Michael. It’s red, purple, the ref is bald, it’s like Muppets. Muppets in the ring”. Oh F YOU JBL! You just ruined the epic 2 minute or so match that the divas had. Ugh. Same old BS from WWE and their women’s division.

Bray Wyatt defeated Kane

Why hasn’t Kane retired? Bray Wyatt wins, Kane loses, this is a tired match we already saw 100 times before. The only thing that could be worse is if we saw Roman Reigns battle The Big Show again. This is a horrendous edition of Raw so far, and I’m trying to be positive.

The Rock Returning IS NOT AWESOME

The Rock is a part time, if that, former wrestler. He’s hijacked Wrestlemania main events, he’s beaten top stars, and now he’s back? I’m sick of this guy. You’re telling me that with so many up and coming talents on the WWE roster, you can’t give them more time? There’s SO many wrestlers that get no time at all, but instead, you bring the Rock out to talk. WWE is not a wrestling company. The Rock sucks, I don’t think he’s necessary for 2016, but hey, I’m just a dude on a random blog writing about fake fighting to an audience of nobody.

The New Day segment was cool, but having The Rock bury them is not the best way to put them over, or is it? Maybe it is, what do I know. This HULU edition is awful.

Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns defeated Sheamus and Rusev

This is illogical. Reigns and Ambrose win, don’t get me wrong. It was expected. Even with Barrett and Alberto Del Rio at ring side, they win? What the hell? Ok, I’ll be ok with it. Rusev goes through the announce table, and then out comes the idiot daughter. This is where logic gets thrown out the window.

Earlier in the show, the premise was that the Authority would pick the main event participants based on who could impress them. Well, the main event for Fast Lane should be based on the participants in matches from the night, right? NOPE! It will be Brock Lesnar versus Dean Ambrose versus Roman Reigns. Oh who the hell cares at this point. Triple H will face Roman Reigns, and that’s that. Same old BS.

Just when you think it was over, consider this meme, because well, that’s what is happening right now. Not a great Raw, not a great post-Rumble event. Remember, this was the HULU version, I may have missed matches. So yeah.

WWE Night of Champions 2015 Results and Review

I had debated whether or not I wanted to watch this. All day I didn’t want to spend the 9.99 to get this. Then at the last minute my wife had to go to work and I decided to bite the bullet and see if I could watch the WWE once again screw me over. Night of Champions 2015 was live from Houston and I’m glad I didn’t have to pay the high costs of PPV from back in the day, aren’t you?

WWE Night of Champions 2015 Results and Review

Stardust and The Ascension defeated Neville and The Lucha Dragons

I think this is what went down. I have no idea how I missed what was going on. I don’t really like these guys, but at least they got a pay day right? I just can’t get over the fact that The Ascension were already buried by the legends, specifically JBL on Raw. Just sayin. Oh and Neville is the man creative forgot, so there’s that.

Kevin Owens defeated Ryback for the Intercontinental Championship

SRC wwe.com

This was an ok match. Owens did his best here, but I hated the finish. The finish made this match suck for me. A distraction roll up is what I call it. That’s all it takes to beat Ryback? A scrape to the eyes and a roll up? What is this 1985? No thanks.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Rusev

No thanks. Without Lana’s little dance from when she was approached by Fandango, this didn’t hold much water. These two are ok but this feud makes no sense and is boring. Ziggler is wasted here.

The Dudley Boyz defeated The New Day via DQ

This match was very fun. The guys in New Day sure know how to create an entertaining match up. I loved it, and the crowd was way into what they were doing. The Dudleyz can still go, and that’s great. Bubba is a great performer at his age, and Devon, come on, DEVON TESTIFY! This was a fun showing, especially with Xavier and the Trombone! Overall a decent match with a terrible ending. I loved the table spot at the end, but alas, no title change. New Day Rocks, New Day Rocks….it’s hard to make it sound cool via text.

Charlotte defeated Nikki Bella

This was the best Nikki Bella match I’ve ever seen. Why? Because it told a psychological story. Charlotte had to overcome the onslaught of attack on her leg. She had to overcome the constant pressure of the champion, and dig in and win. Nikki is not a great wrestler, but here, it made sense. Attack a limb, and just keep working on it, but alas, she made a mistake. This is a good way to end the title reign she’s had.

The Wyatt Family defeated Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Chris Jericho

The announcement of Y2J was cool, but he doesn’t fit this feud in my view. Why didn’t they go with Samoa Joe? Or why didn’t they go for someone bigger? Kane would’ve worked here, and I hate Kane. Chris Jericho still has some go, and it was nice to see this go down. When he lost the match though, it seemed awkward. He didn’t give any apologies, he just shoulder pushed his way through Ambrose and Reigns and that was that.

John Cena defeated Seth Rollins

This was a good match, but not nearly as good as their Summerslam match up. Given limited time, they put together a good enough moment. Rollins lost clean here, and Super Cena will return to his Raw showcases I’m sure.

Seth Rollins defeated Sting

Word on the street is Sting got injured. I was impressed by what he did. He came off the top rope in crazy fashion, took a table bump, and went for it against Rollins. However, Sting got injured and it seemed as though he was showing his age. That being said, it wasn’t worthwhile. It was ok. But Sting is NOT in his prime, while Rollins definitely is. Rollins escapes with the title.

SRC wwe.com

Sheamus cashed in, or tried. But Kane came out and beat up Rollins. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE KANE OR THE BIG SHOW IN WWE EVER AGAIN!!! I threw a can at my television after seeing them.

Overall, Night of Champions 2015 gets a C rating. It’s passable. But it wasn’t a great show at all. I was bored throughout, with few exceptions. Oh well.

WWE Monday Night Raw 7/13/2015 - The Lesnar Rollins Countdown To Battleground, Or Something

SRC WWE.com

Raw came to some city, I don’t know. I didn’t pay nearly as much attention as I probably should. It’s funny, I finally get cable television and Raw is so drawn out and boring. 3 hours plus of wrestling? I would have peed my pants in 1999, and loved 3 hour Nitro with lots of wrestling. 3 hours of WWE, however, is a tiring affair and it’s absolutely boring. I was bored out of my mind most of this show, and it happens too often.

Once again South Park was on the nose when it comes to wrestling. These openings with 30 – 40 minutes of talking is too much. I don’t care about this feud, now. I just want Lesnar to kill Rollins and get this over with. There’s no way Rollins can stand the beating he’s about to get, fake or not, Lesnar can throw around Rollins like a rag doll. We’ll see what happens, but this whole thing wasn’t worthwhile.

No MORE BIG SHOW!

Seriously, how many times do I have to see his fat face on television? I love how JTG painted him in his book, like a big idiot. He’s slow, he sucks, and having to see him on Raw is stupid. This match sucked, and while Ryback may be the champion, it’s wasted on him. Sheamus and Orton in yet another match? Are you seeing a pattern folks? This is stupid.

Who cares about the Divas?

I still don’t care about the Divas division. Introducing NXT people is fine, but how long before they get buried in the WWE’s version of what they believe is good women’s wrestling? I wasn’t excited by this. I made a can of soup.

The Prime Time Players are the worst tag team. I said it. I don’t want to see them on Raw.

R-Truth is still employed? Barrett is still employed?

Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens Vs. Rusev in a Triangle Match!

Now this is wrestling. This is a throwback to when WCW used to have these matches. Remember when Sting, Vader and the Guardian Angel were in a match like this. Oh, it’s different? Well what about ECW then? Yeah! FTW! Anyways, this match was good, and I liked the story that played out here. Rusev being back was a nice touch, and the shoes were a good thing too. However, the immediate loss to Super Man John Cena didn’t sit well with me at all, but then again who cares, right? Good overall wrestling, great moments, and a nice way to move the competition around.

Stardust buried Neville

It was nice knowing you Neville.

Lesnar and Rollins and Kane and blah, blah, blah, terrible night of wrestling.

Oh, one last thing. I still don't care about Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt. That feud is terrible. At least Dean Ambrose got an easy night out.
