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 Raw November 7, 2017 Results and Review The Logical Gap Widens

Stellar Boot

If you were to apply logic to the latest WWE booking, you would be sorely disappointed. I know I was today. This was an insane night of wrestling, and you know what? I didn’t even see the whole thing. I saw the HULU edition and was disappointed by the selection that they chose. There is logic issues that you may want to consider here. It’s odd.

WWE Raw November 7, 2017 Results and Review HULU Edition

First and foremost, the show opened up with Miz TV as the opening segment. Lots of talking, and random BS, with Kurt Angle saying that the Miz would have to fight Braun Strowman. But here’s the thing, I thought the title was on the line, but apparently it wasn’t. Oh well.

Jason Jordan defeated Elias in a Guitar On A Pole Match

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Asuka defeated Stacy Coates

This wasn’t on HULU

FInn Balor and Samoa Joe went to a double count out

Samoa Joe came out to cut a promo about how no one could beat him. He said that anyone that stood in front of him would get put down. He first took out Titus, but then out came Finn Balor aka Alex Wright 2.0. Now, this wasn’t crazy, mind you, it was just an average back and forth match, with lots of counters. The match went into a brawl and the refs came out to stop it, and it was a double count out. But Angle came out and said that they both were team members for Survivor Series. Not a great match, not a bad match.

Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Alicia Fox and Nia Jax

This wasn’t bad. This was a good women’s match, but Jax once again is on the losing end, while Banks and Bayley got the win. Fox hits hard, I’m surprised how hard she hits the women, but she eventually tapped out, and then said that she wanted Banks on her team, not Bayley! So Banks will be on the Survivor Series team.

Braun Strowman defeated The MIz via DQ

Hey, remember that title match? NO? Good, because the title wasn’t on the line. I don’t know why they do this, but oh well. Strowman ran through The Miz, and then Kane came out to cause the disqualification. Strowman beat up Kane, then beat up the Miz and his crew. That was that. I don’t like the booking here, it doesn’t make sense. Why didn’t Miz just run with his belt, he survived it doesn’t matter any longer.

Pete Dunne defeated Enzo Amore

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose for the Raw Tag Team Titles

This wasn’t bad, mind you. It just wasn’t great. The match was ok, for what it was, and it featured a lot of action, back and forth moves, and some good moments. But the ending was baffling. Out comes the New Day in the crowd and gets on the MIC. Angle commands all of the Raw guys to come down to the ring and defend Raw, but in the middle of this, the match stops and out of nowhere a Brogue kick levels the champions, and boom, new title holders. That’s right, title change! Ok, sure, why not?

That’s the end of Raw, and you know, it felt like it was 9 hours long. Not a bad show, but logically it made no sense to me, but hey, it’s WWE and they do whatever the hell they want these days. I did like some of the action, but honestly, I’m tired of the same match ups over and over again.

Monday Night Raw August 21, 2017 Results and Review The Shortest HULU Version Ever

Superman Punch! - SRC wwe.com 

Monday Night Raw was booked in Brooklyn, New York yet again. The crowd was hot through the night, and they were given a lot of elements. This is a great night of wrestling, for those in attendance. But the HULU edition was cut very short, with a lot of talking, and very little wrestling. I’m not sure why, but hey, here I am to talk about the HULU edition of Monday Night Raw.

Monday Night Raw August 21, 2017 Results and Review

Braun Strowman interrupted the Brock Lesnar Speech, and that’s about it.

Enzo Amore defeated Big Cass in a Brooklyn Street Fight

Enzo and Cass didn’t get much time, as this wasn’t on Hulu. I saw it on Youtube, and this was interesting. Cass took a nasty dive to the outside and collapsed midway through the match. I’m guessing a torn ACL and MCL. I tore my ACL and collapsed as well in high school, so I can say this was at least a hyper-extension.

Nia Jax defeated Emma

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Elias defeated R. Truth

This wasn’t shown on HULU

The Miz and Samoa Joe confronted John Cena and Roman Reigns

This was a long boring talking segment that was part of the HULU edition, and it just went long.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated The Hardy Boyz

A great overall, fast paced match. It was fun to see these guys work, and while it was hard hitting, with great counters and in-ring psychology, pushing both teams in this one. In the end, Rollins and Ambrose won after stopping the Swanton, and boom.

Alexa Bliss confronted Sasha Banks

Banks just talked on the mic, and Alexa showed up. Meh. They didn’t brawl, and Alexa will get a rematch, just not tonight.

Finn Balor defeated Jason Jordan

Jordan wanted a match with Balor, and he got it. Balor ran right through Jordan, even though he was able to get a little offense. It wasn’t much though, it was bad. Balor’s dropkick wasn’t half bad, and Jordan got a beat down, and lost clean, in the middle of the ring. A good, fun match, but Jordan is just not over.

John Cena and Roman Reigns defeated The Miz and Samoa Joe

This was a fun match, and Reigns with Roman is a good pairing, that will lead them to face off against each other. Joe and MIz worked well enough, but it was obvious that Miz was going to eat a pin. He did, even though Cena was knocked out by Reigns on accident. Reigns and Joe fell to the outside, with a killer sequence that showed Reigns knocking out Joe from the Suicide Dive, and man, good stuff. Miz loses, here, even with his Miztourage on the outside trying to help.

There you have it, Monday Night Raw went down the hatch with minimal problems. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it, and the HULU version was very condensed. I liked that, but I didn’t think that the show was worth 3 hours of time. Overall, not a bad night of wrestling, some fun spots, and good things. Hopefully this brings about some more wrestling next week in Memphis. Oh, and I did forget to type the 205 Live match, but I didn't care, and you didn't either.
