WWE Monday Night Raw October 15, 2018 Results and Review Same Old Stuff Different Week

Source WWE - Monday Night Raw Pic

Well, well, here we go folks, another edition of Raw and I’m not excited, but then again, when is the last time I was truly excited about discussing Raw? I don’t remember at all. Let’s discuss the night, and some of the matches, and random notes as only I can, because this is the longest episodic pro wrestling blog ever created! Or maybe not.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 15, 2018 Results and Review

I hate when wrestling shows start with a lot of talking. Once again, we start Raw with talking, and I personally hate it. The three idiots came out, Dolph, Drew, and Brown Shoeman. They recapped last week! Come on! Who are they recapping for? Anyways, this was boring to start, and I am not a fan.

Seth Rollins defeated Drew McIntyre by Countout

The WWE World Cup match here, and it wasn’t bad. It had some good momentum, but after some back and forth, and Dean Ambrose showing up, Seth Rollins would get the win via count out. This was a terrible finish, mind you. However, the match itself wasn’t a complete terrible thing. I do question why a surprise attack needs music to play, as Dean got his music played to help his pal. He should’ve just ambushed Dolph Ziggler outside, no music or anything. Rollins wins, that’s all.

The WWE must assume that no one watches their show, right? Why else would they recap the DX announcement from last week through a long portion of the show? Meh.

Dean was teasing a split from the Shield, after Rollins called him a lunatic. I will say that I love Renee Young’s pants, and her style. She is a very lovely, woman and those pants, man, she’s a dream girl to me in many ways.

There was a vignette featuring Kane and The Undertaker. It was shot in a boiler room of sorts. It was stupid. I’m tired of seeing these 50 plus year old, broken down, boring big guys.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Tamina and Dana Brooke

I don’t know what to tell you about this. You already know it was bad, right? Well, if you didn’t see Raw, you didn’t miss anything at all. This was clumsy, and somewhat boring. It was a short match, with a finish that you’d expect at this point. Dana Brooke got hit with the Eclipse and that was the end. Short match, with some good action, and Tamina picking up Nia on her shoulders, that was cool. Other than that, another match with an ending that featured Tamina and Nia Jax squaring up.

Ronda Rousey Promo 

Ronda Rousey’s appeal is waning on me. I like her a lot, but in the WWE, she’s just meh, especially selling for The Bellas. She cut a promo. The Bellas came out, and there was an exchange, and out came security out of nowhere. So, Ronda decides to beat up the security guys with ease. The Bellas then ran away and that was that. I guess that’s the end of all that? They didn’t need this, we already know that The Bellas are useless, and by all accounts if the WWE books the way I think they will, we will see Ronda lose to the Bella Magic device.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Dean Ambrose

Thanks to Seth Rollins, Dean lashed out at his bro, and got a super kick for his effort, and a pinball win for Ziggler. Not a great match, but there’s enough of a push to watch it, even if Ambrose loses. This may spell doom for the Shield of course.

Balor defeated Jinder Mahal

Balor buries Mahal.

Trish and Lita Talk To Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

This was painful to watch.

AOP defeated A Random Jobber

It was supposed to be Angle, but it wasn’t.

Backstage The Riott Squad messed up Natalya’s dressing room door. Bullying. Meh.

Natalya defeated Ruby Riott

This wasn’t that great of a match, but it had some moments to consider. It was a short match, and Natalya did get the Sharpshooter victory, or was nearly there, but Sara Logan came in to fight that, and then chaos ensued with Bayley and Sasha Banks getting jumped. Riott Squad then beat up Natalya, and that was that.

Elias Segment

Apollo Crews interrupted this predictable segment. Crews then beat up Elias and that was that.

The Shield defeated The Wolves

Again, the same main event we see every week, and this time The Shield got to the win, and that was that. What can I say, it was a match, and that was that. Meh, to say the least. Another match won by the same three guys that take up all the time on Raw.

Afterwards Brown Shoeman beat up the squad, and Drew McIntyre walked away alone.

Overall, I’m just tired of the Shield and the same old booking on Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 23, 2018 Results and Review

Super Man Punch! - SRC WWE 

Well, I didn't want to watch Raw, but hey, this site needs updates right? We start the show with Vince McMahon in ring.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 23, 2018 Results and Review

Vince McMahon introduced Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Well, she came out and said that women can be anything, except ugly on WWE. Oh, she didn't say that? Well, there's going to be an all women's WWE PPV called "Evolution" on October 28, 2018. It will be the first ever all women's PPV for the WWE. Oh great, oh great, so exciting. Sigh. This is stupid, but hey, whatever. I'll watch it, because I do that, and you 2 readers out there still listen or watch or read or do something for this blog, right? Lol.

The B Team defeatd Woken Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt in the WWE Tag Team Championship Match

In what was an odd match, the B Team was able to once again upend the Deleters of Words. The match wasn't that great, it was slow, prodding, and eventually featured Wyatt and Hardy getting shuffled around and thrown into one another where Curtis Axle was able to get the pin. It was a quick ending to a short match, and after the match the Deleters of Worlds gave the B team their finishing manuever. The B Team still have the championships.

Bayley and Sasha Banks Make Up

I'm so tired of seeing Bayley and Sasha, and the backstage elements. They apparently LOVE one another now? I hate this. It's so stupid.

Sasha and Bayley defeated Two Jobbers

This was boring. A jobber match and that's it. If you like jobber matches, then, this was great for you. I didn't think it was fun to watch, it was just a boring throwaway match.

Elias got interrupted by Braun Strowman.

Elias was introduced but out came Braun Strowman and he cut a promo. Then out come Corbin and Kevin Owens. Then Jinder came out, and well, this was a comedy segment, and wow, just wow, this was not good. No wrestling here, just comedy with one of the Singh brothers getting a beat down.

Mickie James defeated Natalya

This wasn't a 30 second match, but it certainly wasn't that long. It was not a great match, but I always love seeing Mickie James, and well, Natalya was able to throw down a great deal, and she had this match in the bag, until Alexa kept distracting her and well, that let James get the Mick Kick and that was that. Natalya goes down, which wasn't a bad match, but it wasn't a great one either.

The Authors of Pain Cut A Promo

They said they didn't want Titus Worldwide. But that's who came out. I love Dana Brooke, by the way. The guys ended up catching a beating, and Authors of Pain got thrown out of the ring by Titus Worldwide.

Mojo defeated Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze basically got jobbed out to Mojo, and that was that. It was a short match, and that's it.

Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre via Disqualification

This was a good match for the most part, but it would get ruined by a disqualification from Ziggler. After Balor was starting to win, and then got thrown off of his game, Seth Rollin ran down and beat up Drew McIntyre, and ran off the duo.

Of course this prompted Kurt Angle to play the Teddy Long Card. He decided to make a new match that was a straight up tag match, playa, playa!

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler

Well, this was a match. It was fast paced, it had a lot of action, and honestly, McIntyre and Ziggler caught a beat down with Rollins getting the big win this time around. It was a fun match, but I feel that it didn't matter as much as I'd like. I'm seriously tired of seeing Ziggler, as he's a loser. But then again, McIntyre looks great right now, I hope he continues to get a push.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

This was another short match, but it was effective. Ember Moon was able to throw down against Liv Morgan, and the Eclipse hit hard, with Morgan getting knocked out and that was that. Liv MOrgan is hot, by the way. Just saying. Moon is so strong and athletic, I'm impressed.

Elias played a song.

This was ok, I guess. Elias has an album out. He got cut short, as he wasn't able to get moving forward throughout the night.

Roman Reigns defeated Bobby Lashley

This was a different type of match than their match at Extreme Rules. There were 3 Superman Punches here and Lashley was still standing. There was a spear from both men, and after some back and forth, it was Reigns that hit a mega spear at around the 2 hour and 22 minute mark or rather that the third hour and boom, Lashley was defeated. Bobby Lashley threw down a great offensive match, but he lost here, and that was that. He would shake Roman Reign's hand and that was that. Reigns gets another shot at Brock Lesnar, and that's that.

Overall, Raw wasn't that great, but it didn't completely suck either. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. It was just there.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 10, 2018 Results and Review The Roman Show

Alexa Bliss with The Kendo Stick - SRC WWE dot com 

We started the night with a package featuring Roman and Bobby Lashley and their feud. Then we got to see them in the back. Roman said he was going to his Ring to call out Lashley, and then we saw the two banter, but mainly it was Bobby saying he was ready to take on Reigns. That of course led to the arena opening as we are in Boston, MA that started with Roman Reigns coming out to the arena.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns came out and started to call out Bobby Lashley, which was stupid. It's the Roman show, isn't it? Ugh.

Roman calls out Lashley, and then the whole locker room comes out to seperate Roman and Lashley and it's insane. Roman did show some great things, he jumped over the top rope and into a crowd of guys, which was a lot like The Undertaker's jump at WWF Ground Zero from 1997. I'm not sure who is going to go over, but something tells me that Roman Reigns is going to get a good win with a spear, right? The brawling continued here, and the crowd was into it, and you know what? Why not? Sure they are going to fight, because they think that they are better than one another. Got it.

Nia Jax and Natalya defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

The match was basically a lot of Nia Jax getting the most of the women, and Natalya limited in the ring. Alexa and Mickie did a few things well here, but after Nia would win, Alexa jumped her with a kendo stick. The Kendo stick beat down was the best part of the match, and I loved that. Great stuff overall. Other than that, the match was a bit boring to me. Mickie James is always good, but the rest, meh.

Mojo Rawley defeated No Way Jose

This was a hard hitting match, and it was kind of back and forth. Now Way Jose tried his best, but Rawley was not to be thwarted, and he eventually hit the Alabama Slam, and boom, it was all done within a short span. Not a bad match at all, mind you.

Sasha and Bayley are still in counseling, and it sucked.

Seth Rollins came out to talk, and I was not thrilled, I didn't care. Dolph came out, and so did Drew McIntyre, and they started to talk trash. This went back and forth and a match was set up. I didn't care for this, too much talking if you ask me.

Bo Dallas defeated Matt Hardy

Another match in which the B team was able to take on the veterans and win. This was a match that had Matt Hardy winning most of it, and then out of the blue, Dallas would get the win. This wasn't terrible, but it's a bit predictable and I'm tired of it, so meh. That's all I can say about this, meh. Dallas wins, the other guys beat them up and that was that.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

Ember Moon wins again, and this time she was able to throw down a lot of offense, and eventually did a move that was nothing short of impressive. She did a pinning combination that had her spiked, then flipped over and in a bridge. You have to see it to believe it, it was so good. Liv Morgan nearly broke a nose, which was rough, but the match was good.

Corbin and Elias were tagging together, and Elias played a lullabye with Corbin. Wow. This was a stinker.

Corbin and Elias defeated Finn Balor and Bobby Roode

A good back and forth match, with some good overall fighting. I liked the fighting, and it was definitely better than I thought it would be. Corbin would end up getting the win with Elias on his side, and it was what you would expect. Fast pacing, movement, and so much more, although midway through the match there was an ad for the ppv with Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley at the helm.

Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins

Well, this was a good closing match, with lots of action and great timing from the two veterans of the ring. Dolph Ziggler was on the outside and tried interfering, and helped get his team member a great shot in the process, but honestly, this match needed a bit more time if you ask me. It had some good moments, and while there was some high spots, it was your standard Rollins match, with McIntyre showing he's ready for the big time. I liked it. Rollins would get a loss here and McIntyre would hit his finisher to close out raw, and make it a night.

At the end of the day, this wasn't a terrible show at all. I didn't hate it, but I found that there was a lot left to be desired in terms of wrestling. As for that ending, and the rest of the show, it is what it is, it's the Roman hour of sorts, but there's a lot to mix in this time around. I had fun, and maybe that's the best thing.

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

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

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

WWE Monday Night Raw March 26, 2018 Results and Review

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

Nia Jax defeated Mickie James

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

Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak and JTP

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

Asuka defeated Jamie Frost

Asuka knocked out a jobber.

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

Sasha Banks and Bayley Backstage

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

Braun Strowman defeated Sheamus

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

Absolution Confronted Ronda Rousey

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

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated The Miztourage

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

Elias defeated Rhyno

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

John Cena defeated Kane in a NO DQ Match

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

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

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

WWE Monday Night Raw February 26, 2018 Results and Review Where Is Lesnar?

No One Is Ready For Asuka - Source WWE dot com

The night after Elimination Chamber, the WWE headed to Anaheim, California and had one hell of a show. This was an interesting night of wrestling, and had a few good moments of course. With that in mind, let’s discuss the WWE Monday Night Raw from February 26, from 2018.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 26, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with highlights from the last night, and it wasn’t half bad. I loved the show, I think, it’s been 24 hours removed, but I enjoyed it enough. Tonight’s show opens up with Alexa Bliss and Mickie James coming down to the ring, and baiting Asuka. Once she came down Nia Jax showed up and start to beat her down, and that made a match happen as a result.

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

This was an interesting match, although I am tired of the same formula on both shows, six man tags all the time. It’s about time we get something different, and more than just “one” match a night with the women. It seems like they are lumped into one match and then the rest of the show they are forgotten. There should be more than “one” story line featuring the women going on, and in this match they tried to do that.

Asuka would get the win of course, but not without Sasha Banks getting betrayed by Bayley. She refused to tag her partner in, and let her get beat down. It was interesting to see that dynamic, although Bayley came back to help Asuka. This will no doubt lead to a match between the “friends”, I’m sure.

John Cena cuts a promo.

John Cena said he was going to end up on Smackdown and get a shot at getting a match on Mania. This wasn’t bad, but I didn’t care too much. The Undertaker match isn’t going to happen, for now.

Bray Wyatt challenged Matt Hardy again.

Why? This is a dead feud to me.

Seth Rollins defeated The Miz in a non-title match

The Miz was supposed to find out who he was going to face at Mania, but instead got Rollins in a singles match. This was a good back and forth match, with one hell of a move from Rollins. He hit a frog splash from three quarters of the ring away from Miz. It was amazing to see. Seth Rollins dropped a serious amount of offense and got the pinfall from the Miz.

As soon as the match was over, Finn Balor showed up and took away his thunder.

Finn Balor defeated The Miz in a non-title match

The next thing that you found was that The Miz got his cronies to get a DQ finish, but then Kurt Angle appeared on screen and said that he would have to face off against Finn straight up. The two had a fast paced match, but Balor would get the big win. Finn Balor pushed it through and would hit a nice match with a quality finish. The Miz loses again.

Roman Reigns cut a promo.

Roman Reigns did the same promo that John Cena did against The Rock, oh well.

The Bar defeated Titus Worldwide

This was a fast paced match with The Bar getting a quick pin at first, and then after that, the Titus Worldwide crew threw down some nice back and forth. But to no avail, because The Bar was able to throw down a great deal of offense and of course their finisher for another win. They then cut a promo and said that no one is left. I think they may be right.

Braun Strowman defeated Elias by Disqualification

Elias kept evading Strowman after he did his song to start. Elias was running around the ring and eventually went under it. Braun pulled him out and Elias had a fire extinguisher and kaboom, he hit him with the smoke, and that got him disqualified. Elias then ran, but Strowman kept chasing him and said that he wasn’t finished with him yet.

I suspect a guitar on a pole match is coming.

Ronda Rousey confronted Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

This had Ronda Rousey on the mic, which was bad. Kurt Angle caught a right hand from Triple H, and that was that. Stephanie apologized to Ronda, Kurt said he lied, and that was the end of Raw.

The night wasn’t too bad. There was a lot of wrestling shoved into the time slot, but there was a lot to be desired. I didn’t hate the night, but where was the rest of the tag division? Why did Cena and Reigns talk so much? Heck, why was the main event not a wrestling match? Oh well. This wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t great either.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 30, 2017 Results and Review The B Word

WWE Monday Night Raw 10/30/2017 - SRC WWE dot com

For those two readers out there, I did manage to watch this week’s Raw. I watched last week too, but didn’t write as much about WWE after the pay per view because I didn’t feel like it. Well, not really, I just had a lot of work and wasn’t up to writing about things as I was working on other things overall. But hey, I’m back now, and let’s talk about the show in which we saw lots of stuff, and filler.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 30, 2017 Results and Review

The opening showed off Stephanie McMahon cutting down Kurt Angle. She made him team captain of the Survivor Series Raw Team, and that means we’ll see him wrestle. She has a way of really being negative on screen, and I like it. Triple H is a lucky man to get to have some action with Stephanie McMahon, wow, I’m just saying. I’m not a sub, but I’d be hers. Anyways, this was dumb.

Nia Jax defeated Bayley

Word on the street is that Nia Jax was mad and left WWE for a while to cool off. She talked to The Rock and pulled some strings apparently because here she is back in action and beating down Bayley. Bayley put up an interesting fight, but she was not going to win, and you knew it. I hear she’s making 200,000 a year, so you know what, why not?

Samoa Joe defeated Apollo Crews

Samoa Joe is back and he hates everyone, or so he says. He made quick work of Apollo Crews, then choked out Titus for being at ringside. This was a quick match, and Crews is back to being jobber status. That sucks, because he’s one of the most talented in-ring performers.

The Miz defeated Matt Hardy

This wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t the best Miz match. It was just kind of bland. I wonder if Strowman is going to take the title off of Miz? Or maybe they won’t even fight. I don’t know. This was an ok match and Hardy is still over, but without Jeff, or being Broken, I don’t really like him as much. It’s a decent match no doubt.

Asuka defeated Stacie Cullen

A burial. A burial so bad that Cullen will most likely be fired, right Emma? Good riddance.

Kane Attacked Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan was back stage and the lights went out, then Kane showed up and choke slammed him to hell? You didn’t see it, but it caused Bryan to get left out on a stretcher, so that was that.

Finn Balor defeated Cesaro

Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. I don’t know why this match was booked, or why the tag titles are taking a back seat to action this week, but whatever. Cesaro gave Balor a good fight, but Balor was able to come back and win with his finisher. I still like Alex Wright better.

Kane defeated Seth Rollins

This was hilarious. Seth Rollins loses to Kane. Kane is just burying guys now, and I don’t know why.

Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Club Sandwich Boys

This was a trick or treat street fight! It was funny, but man, what a waste of the teams. These guys did manage to put on an entertaining match though, and for that I give them credit. This was a fun moment on Raw, and I loved it. I liked the funny moments, and the good overall brawling. This just had a few spots of fighting, and lots of smashing pumpkins and more. I liked it enough to say that this was the best part of Raw for me.

Jason Jordan attacked Elias

Elias was going to sing a song but Jason Jordan showed up and smashed his guitar. Oh well.

Kalisto defeated Drew Gulak

A quick match in which Kalisto got the win over Gulak, and then Enzo came in and danced and beat up Kalisto. This was awful. Gulak is so much better than this.

Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James

I love Alexa. This was a good match for what it was, not as good as their TLC match, but it had some good back and forth. Mickie James is so good in the Ring, but Alexa seems to not have chemistry with her. Either way, this match didn’t leave me disappointed, and Bliss won again. Not half bad folks, this was a good main event for Raw.

Braun Strowman Showed Up

Braun Strowman showed up and beat up The Miz and The Miztourage. But shouldn’t he be mad at Kane? Just saying.

Overall, Raw went by fast. The matches were ok, the stories are still continuing for Survivors Series, and well, I don’t hate the show, but it’s far from the best effort from Raw. The street fight was my favorite though, I could watch that again. Great stuff from those teams, although it’s sad to see the talent wasted in such a match that has no real consequences etc.

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 Monday Night Raw May 8, 2017 Results and Review Vince Russo Is Back

Cool Boots Yo - SRC wwe.com 

If you tuned into Monday Night Raw last night, then you swore that Vince Russo was back. That’s how stupid and idiotic the show became at times. In fact, it was so bad, that I got into an argument on a Facebook group, and eventually got booted out. That’s the second group of internet wrestling fans that I have made upset. To the point where I’m sour on meeting other wrestling fans, because they all seem to be jerks, idiots, and have a podcast where they get to make a one sided conversation about things. They can GTFO for all I care. There’s a reason why I can’t have friends, apparently. Man, I hope Carlo Moss and Lump are doing well, I’m sure they would agree with me on some of these stupid decisions made by Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results

Kurt Angle named Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose the acting General Manager of Raw
Finn Bálor def. The Miz
Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss def. Mickie James
Roman Reigns attacked Braun Strowman
Cesaro and  Sheamus won a Tag Team Turmoil Match to become No. 1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championship
Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe via Disqualification
TJP def. Gentleman Jack Gallagher
Sasha Banks def. Alicia Fox
Bray Wyatt def. Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose

WWE Monday Night Raw Review

Why in the blue hell would Kurt Angle give Dean Ambrose control of the show? Isn’t he the lunatic fringe? What does that even mean any more? Seriously? What the hell? So Dean is in charge, for now, but you’ll find out that Miz is also in charge! Oh god, why?

Finn Bálor def. The Miz

Finn Balor, when he is not the Demon King, is just another European wrestler. He has no charisma, and if he were given a dance move, just one dance move, he would be Alex Freakin Wright! No, Alex Wright actually held championships in WCW and beat some of the top talent. What has Balor done? He can’t even cut a damn promo, I don’t know a thing he’s saying. The Miz got the BRICKS beaten out of him in this match, and he’s constantly relegated to getting beat down. He’s so over with the fans, and yet the booking committee wants to see him get beat all the time. Sure, that’s a way to build credibility, have a guy lose every match. Balor won after a slew of kicks, and random fast offense. It surprises me that he is doing so much power wrestling, considering he just came off of a concussion, but hey, what do I know, right?

Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss def. Mickie James

Mickie James went from being one hell of a heel, to being a smiley face baby with Bayley on her side. Bliss aligned herself with Nia Jax, promising her a title match down the road if they were friend snow. Mickie James is great in ring, I love her style, and Bliss did well here. Bliss is phenomenal, and I’m absolutely impressed with how she carries herself in the ring. Great stuff here.

Roman Reigns attacked Braun Strowman

Kalisto was supposed to fight Brown Shoeman in a one-armed wrestling match. Well, that didn’t happen because Roman Reigns showed up and beat up Strowman. Word on the street is that he’s injured now, and he will not take on Bork Lazer.

Speaking of Bork. Where the hell is the damn champion? Why does Raw have a champion that is NEVER on television? Why hasn’t Dean defended his title? Why is anyone champion at this point if they are never going to wrestle for it? Kayfabe is dead, and logic is also dead. This is a load of garbage. Kalisto is wasted here.

Cesaro and Sheamus won a Tag Team Turmoil Match to become No. 1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championship

Why would these guys just bury everyone? They buried all other teams fast, and will once again face the Hardy Boys. I guarantee the Boys are going to be “Broken” in due time. Terrible match, terrible pacing, burying your tag division like this is just dumbfounding.

Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe via Disqualification

Well, this makes no sense. What is Seth Rollins’ character now? What does Samoa Joe do? He already lost. What the hell is this feud? I don’t care about this at all, and you shouldn’t either. This was beyond boring.

TJP def. Gentleman Jack Gallagher

This was a workable match. TJP is killer in the ring, but he’s lost in the shuffle of this division. This whole division sucks. Gallagher is great, he puts on a show every time he’s in the ring, and it is always nice to see him get a win. This wasn’t his night though, TJP gets the victory in a division that is definitely floundering.

Sasha Banks def. Alicia Fox

Do I really need to comment on this? Sasha Banks is the boss of what? More like the administrative assistant at this point. Boring.

Bray Wyatt def. Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose

Well, well, a non-title match. Bray Wyatt is the king of non-title match wins, isn’t he? He can’t win anything else, but as soon as you put him in a match in which he works a champion and doesn’t have the title on the line, he wins in dominant fashion. Wyatt is wasted here.

I thought it was time to shake things up? Why are all the Raw matches the same as Smackdown? I’ve already seen all of these feuds on Smackdown! Where is the champion? Why is this the A show? Why am I still watching?

Oh and why do internet wrestling fans get so damn butt hurt if you have an opinion that doesn’t align with what they feel? Seriously. You say one negative thing and they start crying like a bunch of babies. Also, big middle finger to RBR Wrestling and Smart Wrestling Fan, my least favorite podcasts, hosted by a bunch of babies. GTFO, I’m unsubscribed for a reason. Bunch of idiots. Idiots, I say!

WWE Monday Night Raw May 1, 2017 Results and Review What Are They Thinking?

Bray Wyatt Is Dolph Ziggler With a Lantern - SRC WWE.COM

Once again, WWE Monday Night Raw took me nearly all morning to watch. It honestly felt like 5 or 6 hours instead of 2 hours of condensed material on Youtube, where I get the show. If you felt the same, just know that you’re not alone.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review

Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox and Emma def. Bayley, Sasha Banks, Mickie James and Dana Brooke

The opening had Alexa Bliss talking about how she’s awesome, which prompted a brawl, and a tag match. The match was ok, with the heels getting the big win, and once again I have to ask, why is Sasha Banks The Boss? What makes her a boss? She is constantly losing, and getting PWNED. Oh well.

Luke Gallows def. Enzo Amore

Enzo can wrestle! Great overall match in my view, it’s just that the Club Sandwich boys have already wrestled Enzo and Cass a ton of times. This is starting to wear thin, to be honest.

Dean Ambrose organized an Intercontinental Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match

Dean Ambrose, through the night was playing funny guy. He set up a triple threat to see who would challenge for his title. This was ludicrous considering that the Universal Title is not going to get defended for months. Both Finn Balor and Seth Rollins want the Universal Title, and yet they can’t go for it. Meanwhile The Miz has already battled Dean Ambrose a million times, so we are going to get it again? I hate this.

Gentleman Jack Gallagher, Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa def. The Brian Kendrick, Noam Dar and Tony Nese

A fun overall match, with no real momentum going forward. This worked for what it was, but I don’t think that isolating the cruiserweights is a good thing for long term wrestling.

Raw Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz confronted Cesaro and Sheamus

The Hardy Boyz beat up Cesaro and Sheamus, and that’s it.

Apollo Crews def. Heath Slater

Slater gets buried, simple as that.

Austin Aries def. TJP

This was ok, I guess, I am starting to sour on both of these guys, and this match was definitely a good reason to do so. I’m honestly getting tired of the WWE treatment of the cruiserweights.

The Miz def. Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor to become No. 1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship

This was a stellar match, with a lot of back and forth. Again, Rollins seems to have forgotten that his knee hurts. He kept going in and out of character and forgetting that his knee hurts overall. Seth Rollins and Finn Balor had some great offense in this match, but it was Bray Wyatt and Samoa Joe were the wild cards. They went in and mess up the match overall. The Miz got the win thanks to inference. Looks like Miz came to play.

Not a great Raw, not a terrible one, but honestly, there’s a lot of missed opportunities. For instance, where was Brown Shoeman? No Brock aka the Universal Champion, and no single’s match for the women.

Raw was ok at best.

WWE Smackdown Live March 14, 2017 results and Review The McMahon Train

Shane McMahon Nearly Died Again - SRC WWE.Com

Everyone keeps harping on this notion that Smackdown is the better show. Nope. Once again, this show felt like a lighter version of Raw, with more talking segments than I can remember, and a lot of stupid elements. They’ve got a crowd of tens of thousands of people booing Daniel Bryan, they have a part timer, if you can call him that in Shane McMahon, and you have a floundering mid card of forgettable idiots. This night on Smackdown, you had to really want to watch it, because if you didn’t, too bad, they were going to shove you into a lot of garbage. It’s hard to be positive about a show full of boredom.

WWE Smackdown Live March 14, 2017 Review

AJ Styles tried to call out Shane McMahon, but guess what? He wasn’t there. Daniel Bryan interrupted, and that started the show with Styles going to the ring and cutting a promo about how he needed to talk to McMahon about lost opportunities. Sound familiar? This is exactly how Raw starts each week.

Becky Lynch defeated Natalya

They keep making Natalya look like a chump. She just went through Nikki Bella, putting on some great matches with the so called Queen of Strong Style, and yet here she is, losing to Lynch? Lynch is supposed to have momentum? But yet she wins here and then gets punked out Carmella? Whatever. Good match though, not as good as the ending of last week’s tag match though. I thought Natalya should’ve done the release German suplex again if you ask me.

John Cena and Nikki Bella were on the MIZ TV Segment

This was dumb. We are going to get Miz get buried at Wrestlemania, right? I don’t want to see this at all. Miz is doing well as a company man, but he is wasted in this feud.

Mickie James defeated Alexa Bliss

Do the champions ever look strong on these shows? Bliss loses to James, the same woman that couldn’t beat Becky Lynch in a 2 out of 3 falls match, and whom gets punked out all the time. This makes no logical sense. How do you make a champion look strong if they lose all the non-title matches?

AJ Styles throws Shane through a glass car window

This segment was ok, I guess. Aj Styles has this incredible aggression now? This is going to lead to a match that I don’t want to see, you don’t want to see, and shouldn’t be on the show at all.

Mojo Rawley defeated Dolph Ziggler by count out

What the hell is this? Ziggler quits? Good riddance. He loses by count out, and Rawley is left to be hyped by himself.

Bray Wyatt and Orton did a lot of talking

This was dumb. I didn’t want to see this. Orton talked about how he was the Viper and he was a slippery snake, and Wyatt rubbed himself with dirt. Who gives a flying F?

The Usos defeated American Alpha

This should’ve stole the show. Instead, WWE decided to keep cutting away from the match to show Shane McMahon, then commercials, and the match was a boring one. The Usos won via pinfall again, beating the champions in a non-title match. American Alpha has amazing talent, but the WWE is not giving them any favors having to job out to the Usos here.

The very last moments of the show had Shane McMahon saying that Aj Styles had an opponent for Wrestlemania. It leads to them fighting, I’m sure. But remember, earlier in the show Daniel Bryan fired Aj Styles.

What a cluster of terrible elements. The wrestling was shortened, Mauro wasn’t in the booth, and this was just Raw Lite. This year’s road to Wrestlemania may be the worst in History folks, and this was terrible, if you ask me, simple as that.

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Results and Review Super Bray Wyatt

WWE Smackdonwn Live came and went on my birthday. I noticed that NO ONE on social media wished me a happy birthday, and that was a bit lame. That happens, though, you get ignored a lot when you’re me. This show was predictable at times, and at others, not so predictable, but with some good flow. Here is what went down and some ideas on what I thought about it.

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Results

American Alpha def. The Ascension
Baron Corbin savagely attacked Dean Ambrose
Mickie James def. Becky Lynch
WWE Champion Bray Wyatt def. John Cena and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat Match

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Review

There are a lot of pundits that will tell you this show is better than Raw, but I absolutely do not believe that. Not only was this week’s Raw a little better, it had more overall wrestling, and it shows. Just look at this line up that people paid up to 400 dollars a ticket for.

American Alpha def. The Ascension

American Alpha is about exciting as a mayonnaise sandwich. These guys are great athletes, no doubt, but without a lot of great teams to work with, they are just boring. This match was predictable, and boring. The only highlight was the USOS doing a pre-taped video to disrupt their celebration.

Baron Corbin savagely attacked Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose was supposed to fight James Ellsworth, but he never got to the ring. Corbin showed up and beat him down. Perhaps Corbin will win the IC title.

Mickie James def. Becky Lynch

A rematch from the PPV and I already knew that James would get her win back, and it happened. Mickie James worked well here, Lynch did ok, but it wasn’t as good as their PPV match at all, and the ending came with Mickie James pretending to be hurt, only to get the last laugh.

WWE Champion Bray Wyatt def. John Cena and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat Match

Wyatt got beat down before the match, but he overcame it. Aj Styles and Cena threw together some good spots, as usual, but it was Bray Wyatt that is not being booked as super man, because he took a beating, and still came back to win here. Afterwards, Orton said that he didn’t want to fight Wyatt at Wrestlemania. Oh well.

This was a lousy show. It had very little wrestling, and a lot of random vignettes, and stories that don’t make a lot of sense to me. 205 Live had more wrestling, and more power, if you ask me. This was a waste of my time.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2017 Results and Review The Most Predictable Finish or The Fat Era

Steiner Says Bray Wyatt Is Fat. "HE'S FAT!" The Fat Era is here folks

Last night my wife made me a special dinner since my birthday is this week. She made me a steak, and an awesome chocolate and banana gluten free cake. It was special, and that made this night of wrestling a bit more special too. It's been a long time since I've been made to feel special, so I cherished the night.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2017 Results

Mojo Rawley defeated Curt Hawkins
Becky Lynch defeated Mickie James
Kalisto and Apollo Crews defeated Dolph Ziggler
American Alpha won a tag team turmoil match
Nikki Bella vs. Natalya ended in a double countout
Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss for the Women’s Championship
Bray Wyatt defeated John Cena, The Miz, Baron Corbin, Aj Styles, and Dean Ambrose in the elimination chamber match

Mojo Rawley defeated Curt Hawkins

I may be the only Curt Hawkins fan. I may be the only person rooting for the guy, and loved his vignettes. Mojo wins this match, in a hard hitting affair, that was in the pre-show. It wasn’t terrible. It was fun for an opener, and it really made me wish I lived closer to the event, as I would’ve gone, no doubt.

Becky Lynch defeated Mickie James

Mickie James should’ve won this match. This was a pure wrestling match, folks. I loved how well this went, even though I didn’t love the ending. James and Lynch work really well as pure wrestlers, no doubt. This match went well, although the crowd seemed dead for it.

Kalisto and Apollo Crews defeated Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler got super cheered here. He beat down Kalisto up front, then ran down and beat up Apoloo Crews, but Kalisto came back to beat him. But of course, Ziggler got mad and grabbed a chair and beat the two guys up. But here’s the kicker, the crowd was chanting “Thank You Ziggler”.

American Alpha won a tag team turmoil match

I didn’t like this match. Rhyno and Heath Slater should’ve won this match. The crowd was going absolutely nuts for this. American Alpha would get beat down by the Uso brothers, but the Ascension would come out to clean up the bones. Nope. American Alpha win, even though they were dead after the Usos. I didn’t like this booking, but hey, it is what it is.

Nikki Bella vs. Natalya ended in a double countout

This was a fight. A great fight, with Natalya proving that she’s amazing. Nikki is vastly improved, but these two women just got into a fight that ended in a countout. In the backstage area they fought more, and Maryse got embarrassed. So maybe that will set up a match? I don’t know. I know, it seems odd, but if you watch the show, you’ll see what happened.

Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss for the Women’s Championship

Naomi deserves this so much, and the crowd was chanting it. She is awesome. Her timing is great, Bliss seemed rattled, and Naomi felt the glow, and won big. I loved this match, and the crowd was going nuts for her win. Naomi, wow, what a victory. I’ve not felt so proud of a wrestler in a long time, this was great.

Bray Wyatt defeated John Cena, The Miz, Baron Corbin, Aj Styles, and Dean Ambrose in the elimination chamber match

Bray Wyatt won in the most predictable chamber match. I saw on Twitter that people were so astonished about this. I wasn’t. I called it. Every podcast, and every dirt sheet said it would happen, and that’s it. Bray Wyatt wins, and is the new champion. I don’t care. You didn’t care, Corbin looked like a chump getting rolled up for the loss, by the way. I didn’t care for this main event. Oh, and the chamber has been redesigned to look soft. SAWFT! Lame. That was that.

Overall, I’d give this PPV a solid C plus. I had some fun, but it wasn’t as great as the Royal Rumble for me, so that’s that. I know, not a popular opinion.

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 NXT Takeover Toronto November 19, 2016 Results and Review: Mickie James Wow

The End of Shinsuke

WWE NXT was live in Toronto, and I didn’t see it live. I saw 2 hours worth of the show before the WWE Network cut off the final. I had to hunt that out myself. I’m not a big NXT follower, so I can’t comment on the bigger stories that are going on. However, I have been critical of Nakamura’s lack of English and so with Asuka, so there’s that. Anyways, here we go, my thoughts on the NXT showcase from Toronto. I wanted to be there so I could’ve met Lacey Jade, but nope, I was stuck in the states.

Samoa Joe def. Shinsuke Nakamura to win the NXT Championship

WWE NXT Takeover Toronto Review

Bobby Roode def. Tye Dillinger

Good action in this one, with a hot crowd that was great. Roode is a great heel, and Dillinger has some amazing timing. The match was hard hitting, fast moving, and a good overall pro wrestling match with lots of nice spots, including an incredible superplex, or should I say glorious! Roode wins with a great DDT and Dillinger has to rethink if he’s really a perfect 10.

Match rating: 4 out of 5

The Authors of Pain def. TM61 to win the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with Paul Ellering suspended above the ring in the Crash Cage

Great hard hitting match, with The Authors of Pain throwing down everything but the kitchen skin to win. I loved the Crash Cage above the ring, I loved the hard hitting action juxtaposed with TM61 putting on a great showcase of aerial maneuvers. Great stuff. I loved it.
Match Rating: 3 out 5

#DIY def. The Revival in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match to win the NXT Tag Team Championship

I fell asleep during the second fall, but loved how DIY was able to sneak out a win against The Revival. Great movement, nice spots, great options, and eventually a final fall and a big win for the story.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka def. Mickie James

I’m in love with Mickie James. Wow. She comes back and puts Asuka through the ringer, only to finally tap out at the end. James was absolutely wonderful, and amazing in this match. Holy crap, I loved everything. She was in shape, put on a show, and thought she should’ve won. Oh well.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Samoa Joe def. Shinsuke Nakamura to win the NXT Championship

Meh. I’m not a fan of Nakamura, and Joe was great 10 years ago. This was an ok match, but not as good as some of the other main events that the NXT brand has put on in the past. Oh well. That’s my 2 cents.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Overall, NXT is not that great. This was fun at first, but it got boring fast. I’m sorry, but the star power here is missing, especially after getting raided earlier this year. Oh well. The women’s match though, great stuff, the opener was good too, and the tag matches were definitely great too.

TNA Impact 1/27/11 Results

The sites that I usually utilize to get the TNA program DID NOT HAVE any updates this morning. So that means you get results instead of of a review. I hate when this happens, especially since i PAID for one of the sites, what a load of BS.

I guess if reviews stop on the site, I'll at least post Results.

TNA Impact 1/20/11 Results and Review

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

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

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

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

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

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

Matt Morgan defeated Rob Terry

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

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

Kaz defeated Jay Lethal

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

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

Jeff Hardy defeated Tommy Dreamer

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

Beer Money defeated RVD & Ken Anderson

Bully Ray beat up Devon, and that was that.

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

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

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

TNA Genesis 2011 Review

Kazarian defeated Jay Lethal

Despite many hours invested into Jay Lethal, he's still not that over as just himself. The crowd was dead for a good portion of this match, even when there were some moves. Kaz was more over than Lethal, which is really bad. The match was a good opener with lots of offense, and a surprising amount of high impact moves from Kaz on what appears to be a smaller lethal. Lethal wen to the top rope, and finally got the crowd behind him, but took too much time and Kaz took advantage. There was a ref bump, and Kaz hit the reverse Tombstone Piledriver and won the gold! That's right, Kaz is the new Cruiserweight Champion of the world.

Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James

There was a good amount of wrestling here, but it's painfully obvious that the division lacks skilled workers. Mickie James did manage some good overall offense, but it just wasn't as entertaining as what I was loving in the Knockout's division a few years ago, and many readers will agree. Tara ran down to help, and Madison Rayne was given a loaded glove, and she won the match with a knockout blow. Yep. I liked the finish, even if it took a while to get there.

Beer Money defeated The Motor City Machine Guns for the TNA Tag Team Titles

I've seen this match so many times, that this time around it just seemed like another match, and for the most part it was. This was just a clone of the many matches that these two teams have had in the past. There were some nice spots, but it was painfully obvious that Beer Money was going over. After some misfires the Machine Guns made a mistake in the corner, and were rolled up. I didn't like the finish of this match, but it had some nice team work and good overall wrestling. I really miss tag team wrestling of this nature in the WWE, because it's done so well. RObert Roode is ready for the WWE if you ask me, I hope he gets there someday. This match was not a five star classic, but it was a highlight for me up to this point.

Bubba Ray defeated Devon by disqualification

This match wasn't that good. Devon was far over with the crowd, and there were some good moments here, even if the majority of the match seemed taxing for both men. At one point Bubba hit a nice Cutter on Devon who was diving off the top rope, even though no one cared. There were some nice near falls, and good final moments, but like I said, getting there was very hard to manage, and didn't really have me excited at all. Devon lost after using a chain on Bubba. Yep, Dq finish.

Abyss defeated Douglas Williams

One of the worst matches ever. Ok, not that bad. Doug Williams put up a good fight against my least favorite wrestler. I hate AByss and giving him a title is so stupid. Williams had to face the monster because Aj Styles is injured, so it was nice to see, but it just seemed thrown together and boring.

Oh well.

Bischoff said that RVD will get Hardy, and it was Matt Hardy! I guess Matt is a heel too? I don't know, but Matt is in TNA!

Matt Hardy is still fat.

Matt Hardy defeated RVD

This match had some nice fast paced action, but it seemed like Matt Hardy slowed it down at some points to let RVD catch his breath. It's not a surprise that RVD can't go full speed since he's smoking weed to this day. Hardy did manage to throw in some good new offense, even if most of his offense seemed older. Hardy took some major hits to the head and body by RVD and it was interesting to see the back and forth motions in this match up. After some good overall back and forth action, Hardy won...and that was that. It's going to take a while for me to enjoy Matt Hardy in TNA.

Matt Hardy is still fat.

Jeff Jarrett vs Kurt Angle

I feel like I've seen this before, and it was stupid. Jarrett bloodied Angle and the ref through the match out. Jarrett wins and is still the monster heel...this was stupid. The Tna idiots put the camera right on Angle as he was blading...so stupid.

Ken Anderson defeated Matt Morgan

There was a lot of great pieces to this match up. I liked how Anderson kept literally throwing offense at Morgan, and like a large tree, Morgan wouldn't go down with average moves. There were some nice spots here, but nothing too crazy. It was painfully obviou that Morgan wasn't going over, and after Anderson rolled up Morgan for the quick pin, out came Eric Bischoff.

He demanded that Anderson fight Hardy for the title.

Ken Anderson defeated Jeff Hardy

This match was ok. Jeff didn't look 100%. Jeff was fighting Hardy with ease, and it appeared that he was going to cheat, but out came Mick Foley to stop it. That prompted Ric Flair to come down, but he was held at bay by security. Hardy went for the top rope, but Anderson managed to stop his progress. Anderson was going for a super plex, but missed and Hardy hit a nice swanton. Anderson kicked out, and this match continued! I wasn't marking out, because it seemed so obvious (i guess because of the spoilers). The crowd was way over with Anderson getting huge cheers. Anderson hit the rolling finisher spot, but Hardy got up fast and started fighting back. Jeff called out his brother Matt to interfere, but RVD ran down to stop that, and they brawled all the way to the back.

Eric Bischoff came into the ring with a chair, and was ready to lay out Anderson, but was attacked! The Mic Check was hit on Bischoff! Jeff was able to run back but was hit with the MIC CHECK! Anderson wins the world title!

Your new TNA world champion is MR. ANDERSON!

That was a good thing for everyone, and hopefully Anderson will be doing well as the champion. I like the ending.

TNA Impact 1/6/11 Review

The night opened up with Immortal or Fortune or whoever it is, and Bischoff talked about how they are going to do things right or something, I don't know, I didn't care.

All the champions were called out and they all started brawling. Out came RVD and he started to take everyone out.

Jarrett did his mma challenge beat up some kid, and then was run out of the ring by Kurt Angle. This thing has gone on too long, I'm so sick of this bs.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated Aj Styles and Kaz

This match wasn't given nearly enough time, but it had a few good high spots and random moves. The Machine Guns were able to win this match up after a few good quality moves, but overall, it wasn't all that great. These four could put on a 4 star classic, but instead, they seriously just bored me.

Post match, Beer Money beat them up.

The Pope came out and cut a promo. Samoa Joe's hoodie is from Old Navy! I know cause I have one! Woo! The Pope is heel now? I guess. Joe is back...did Pope kidnap Samoa Joe? I don't know.

Sarita & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Vevlet Skye

Another boring Knockouts match. I'm so sick of this bs too. Another terrible match with no major offense, nothing worth checking out, this was lame.

Doug Williams vs Rob Terry (No Contest)

THis was stupid. The match barely got under way and out came Aj Styles to beat up Doug Williams. They were trying to break Williams arm. I guess this will come to fruition at the ppv? I don't know.

Jay Lethal defeated Abyss via dq

This was going well but then Abyss got himself disqualified and this was the end. Lethal barely got offense in, and after the match Kaz came in and beat him up.

Jeff Jarrett defeated RVD in a no dq match

Another boring match. Stupid stupid match with Double J winning after he got help from Jeff Hardy.

post match out ran Matt Morgan, or as Scott Steiner calls him Mike Morgan.

This Impact sucked, I'm so sick of TNA, they are starting the new year with just as bad of wrestling ever. Ugh...So tired of this BS.

TNA Impact 12/16/10 Review

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

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

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

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

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

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

Erik Young & Orlando Jordan defeated Generation Me

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

Tara & Madison Rayne defeated Mickie James & Miss Testmaker

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

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

Bubba Ray Dudley defeated Amazing Red

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

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

Devon came out and saved Amazing Red.

RVD defeated Rob Terry

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

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

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

Jeff Hardy & Kaz defeated Ken Anderson & Matt Morgan

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

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

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

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

Tna Impact 12/9/10 Review

Impact opens up with Bischoff yelling...I already felt like going back to sleep.

Immortal or Fortune or whatever, came into the ring. OUt came Matt Morgan with a pipe, and nothing happened. Eric Bischoff said that nothing was going on...and what not. I didn't care, you didn't care....ugh...I'm tired.

Ink Inc defeated Team 3D

There is a new "Devon" in this match with Bubba Ray. Ink Inc wins this one, and Devon 2 got beat up for the loss. This was seriously a boring match. It was so boring that even the crowd was dead, completely dead for this.

Post match, Bubba beat up the new Devon.

Tara was "singing" her song or something, and out came Mickie James to beat her up. Yep, same thing that happened last week. I'm sick of this feud.

The Motor City Machine Guns defeated The Security Guys

This match sucked. The Security guys beat up the Motor City Machine guns, got disqualified. The security guys eventually were beaten up with sticks...ugh...what a terrible match.

The Beautiful People defeated Sarita & Daffney

This match was terrible, I can't tell you how bad it was. I love Daffney, but this match wasn't even a "wrestling" match, it was just a terrible example of how the Knockout division has fallen to near "diva" status. The Beautiful People move on in the women's tag title tournament.

Douglas Williams defeated Abyss

Williams wins an easy match against Abyss, and retains his belt. Abyss ripped a turnbuckle off, only to run right into it and then get rolled up. No one cared, I still hate Abyss.

Post match, Styles hit a Styles clash on Williams on the ramp.

Jeff Jarrett beat up some random fan. It was stupid.

Mickie James defeated Tara in a steel cage match

This was an interesting match, the cage adds a lot to the match up. Mickie James at one point climbed to the top rope and launched herself off the top of the cage and completely killed Tara. It looked liked Mickie James broke her knee in the process, but she dove off the top of the cage and pinned Tara. I don't think it was worth it, but it looked awesome. The highlight of the night was definitely Mickie James jumping off the top of the cage and hitting Tara with a Lou Thesz press and getting the roll up. Other than that, this night was terrible.
