WWE Monday Night Raw September 25, 2017 Results and Review The Enzo Amore Show

Enzo Gets A Beating - SRC WWE DOT COM

Just when you thought I went to sleep instead of watching Monday Night Raw, I’m back with another review. This time around we’re going to be looking back at the September 25, 2017 show that had the Bullet Club invading the WWE. Actually, they just stood outside and tried to get attention. This wasn’t nearly as big as what the WWE did to WCW, and comparisons to that are stupid, because ROH and other companies aren’t nearly as big as WWE or WCW for that matter.

The show was live from Ontario, California, just a stones throw away from what I used to live, and it was heated. The venue isn’t that big, so there were probably no empty seats. The show kicked off nicely, and put things into high gear, at least for the HULU version, which is what I’m going to be discussing here.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 25, 2017 Results and Review

Roman Reigns and The Miz started off the show with The Miz getting the better of Roman on the mic, and the crowd firmly behind Miz and his cronies. The MIz at one point decided to just leave after berating Roman, but Kurt Angle came out and set up a couple of matches that features the trio, and that’s the crux of the show.

Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan defeated The MIztourage

The Miztourage are nothing but jobbers. I guess there are worse ways to make a living, but they lost handedly by Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan. This was a fast paced match, and it got the crowd going wild, which is always a great thing. I had a little fun watching this, and you probably enjoyed this one too. It’s a good match, although I’m tired of seeing the Miztourage getting pummeled each week. At least the Flock and the Nest had wins when they were with Raven. These guys aren’t even getting a second look.

Elias defeated Apollo Crews

This was not shown on HULU.

Braun Strowman attacked Curt Hawkins

This was just awful. This was absolutely just bad. Hawkins gets beat up, and still buried. I guess there’s worse ways to make a living, right?

Braun Strowman defeated Dean Ambrose

This match was what you’d expect, Strowman plowed through Ambrose. Ambrose had a little offense, but not nearly as much as you’d expect, and Strowman wins again. Next week he will face off against Seth Rollins and win again. However, I don’t find him to be a formidable opponent for anyone because Lesnar beat him clean in the middle of the ring at the PPV.

Mickie James came out to fight Alexa Bliss

Mickie James didn’t get much of a crowd reaction when she confronted Alexa Bliss. I guess this is the next feud? Ok. James is on her way out, I can sense it. Bliss is great here, and I like her.

Seth Rollins defeated Sheamus

Sheamus had most of the offense in this match, and it wasn’t that bad. Rollins is boring to me, and very predictable, as is Ambrose. Sheamus got cocky at one point and lost when Rollins was able to take advantage of several mistakes that Sheamus had. Not a terrible match, but far from the best.

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz

This was not much of a match, Roman Reigns beat down MIz and won relatively well. Even with the Miztourage helping out, Reigns wasn’t going down, and the Miz lost clean. After the match the trio beat the holy crap out of Reigns with a chair, and the other guys from the shield did not show up. So screw them. I still hate Reigns.

Finn Balor defeated Goldust

This was not shown on HULU

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax and Emma

This was not shown on HULU

The Cruiserweight Division gave Enzo Amore a Beat Down

Enzo Amore came out and cut a scathing promo, but the 205 Live crew came out and confronted him. Neville talked a great deal then beat the tar out of Amore, and then the rest of the crew came down and beat him up. Then Braun Strowman came out and beat him up too. Either way, Amore is getting beat down and taking a lot of heat. I’ll definitely be tuning in to 205 Live to see how this works itself out. However, the idea of an outcast as champion, and the whole crew beating him up is not my favorite of stories. I want him to overcome.

So there you have it, Raw was ok at best. I didn’t really see any furtherment of story lines, and according to the Tuna Metlzer, the WWE doesn’t care about the stories because they are making money hand over fist regardless of what they do. That is showing with this lack luster show that was very long, even on HULU. Not a great night of wrestling, if you can call it that anymore.

WWE Summerslam 2017 Results and Review The Marathon Show Continues

Brown Shoeman Drops Lesnar - SRC wwe.com

If you had plans for Sunday night, I hope you erased them when you heard that the WWE Summerslam PPV was going to be 9 hours long. Ok, it wasn’t that long, but it certainly was long enough to garner a lot of tired faces by the time the main event came through. I have heard a lot of people talk about this show, and I’ve seen a lot of videos about what the thoughts were from a variety of people. But these are my thoughts on the night, as you know I was going to say something, because I sat through a lot of wrestling after writing an essay for school.

WWE Summerslam 2017 Results and Review

The Miz and The Miztourage defeated The Hardy Boyz and Jason Jordan

The arena was empty for this match. It was bad. These guys fought to a decent match, but I don’t know why they chose to do the same match again from Raw. This wasn’t half bad, but of course, The Miz and his crew got the big win on the ppv. This was fast paced, and not necessarily bad, but I’m not sure why Miz wasn’t defending his title here. I guess maybe it won’t happen until the next PPV. Jason Jordan and his team loses, in front of 12 people, and I’m not kidding.

Neville defeated Akira Tozawa for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

This was fascinating, as it was another match between these two guys. Tozawa beat Neville on Raw, and it was a good match. However, this was another match where the two put on some good back and forth. However, the leaping senton bomb was thwarted by Neville, and the Red Arrow came through and Tozawa was done. I do not know what Titus O’Neil doesn’t help out, or cause a distraction. This was an ok match, but again, only like 20 people in the audience made this ok, at best.

The Usos defeated The New Day for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship

I do not think there is a better duo than The Usos. They are on the same exact page, and they keep pushing through a lot of moves, and reversals, with expert timing. These two guys are just incredible. The New Day is boring to me, but they keep trying to put on good matches. They did just that, and they were able to gain the upper hand for a good portion of the match, but it was the Usos and their fast-paced wrestling that ended up getting the big win. I loved the ending, dual super kicks, and their finish, which was stellar. The Usos are in their prime.

John Cena defeated Baron Corbin

This was a burial. Do not even argue with me. This was a burial that was akin to many other burials that you’ve seen in the past. John Cena defeated Baron Corbin clean. I kid you not. Clean. Cena wins in the opening match, and goes home to sleep because tomorrow he’s probably doing something grand. Well, tomorrow is Tuesday, but maybe he’s on Raw tonight? Oh boy!

Natalya defeated Naomi for the Smackdown Women’s Championship

This was a sloppy match, and I had a stomach issue. I went to the bathroom at one point, and came back, and it was still going. Natalya can be good, and Naomi has gotten better, but there was something missing between these two. It was fun, no doubt, and the winner was Natalya. She made Naomi tap out to the sharpshooter, which I thought was great, so good for her.

Big Cass defeated Big Show w/ Enzo Amore in a Shark Cage

The best part of this match was Enzo Amore stripping, lubing himself up and escaping the cage. That was thwarted by Cass, with a huge kick. Show got pinned after the empire elbow, and that was that. Not a great match, but Enzo was funny to me.

Randy Orton defeated Rusev

And another burial. Rusev has been downhill for a while, and here we go, Orton shows up and with a RKO out of nowhere, and the end. Less than 5 minutes. Rusev loses, and that’s that.

Sasha Banks defeated Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women’s Championship

This wasn’t half bad. This was interesting, with Alexa impressing me a lot. Sasha put on a show as usual, but I didn’t like the end. I thought for sure Alexa Bliss should’ve pinned banks with her finisher, or at least threw a tantrum and walked out, for a DQ finish. But no, this time we get Sasha Banks winning after a lot of back and forth. However, Banks looked to have messed up her shoulder, legit, so we’ll see how that goes on. Banks got beat up in this match, Bliss was great, but she pulled a rabbit out of the hat and won the title yet again. Good for her.

The Demon Finn Balor defeated Bray Wyatt

I’m not a fan of boring ass Finn Balor. He beat the Eater of Pins, and that was that. It was about 8 minutes long, and Wyatt loses fast, after a ton of offense from Balor. This match was just Balor throwing himself around at Wyatt, that’s about it.

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

This wasn’t half bad. This was kind of cool, a good amount of action, and both teams throwing down a lot of punishment against each other. I loved the dynamic, and at the end, it was Ambrose and Rollins won a huge solution overall. This was a classic tag team battle, with two members of the Shield. I wanted to Roman Reigns to join them, but nope. I didn’t dislike Dean in this one, which was grand. Ambrose and Rollins make a great team, and this match was a great one, including the beach ball getting torn apart by Cesaro. The commentary team sucks, though.

AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens with Special Guest Referee Shane McMahon

Not a bad match. The best of their series, but it wasn’t that great. Owens will most likely fight McMahon, I guess. Styles is great, I love his work, but he needs a new opponent, I’m tired of him fighting Owens. Although, I wouldn’t mind seeing Shane McMahon versus Kevin Owens with Aj Styles as a guest referee! This was ok, I have no complaints, but we need something new.

WWE Champion Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

Well, the burial of Nakamura is complete. Jinder Mahal defeated Shinsuke, and wow, that was the end. Nakamura did ok with Mahal, and the Singh brothers helped him get the win. Jinder isn’t half bad, but he’s juicing. I liked the dynamic, but watching Nakamura lose, with a botched finish? I guess that’s the best that can happen with Jinder. Jinder’s mainstream push hit a high note this morning as the New York Times talked about Jinder, and well, that’s good. Good for him.

WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar defeated Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, and Braun Strowmana

This fatal 4 way title match was about as good as you’re going to get from WWE’s mainstream offering. I was surprised by how good the match was, because Brock was getting taken out early by Braun. Braun really got to Lesnar, and he even through him through two tables, before the paramedics came out. They wheeled out Brock, and he left for a while. But he came back, and then it was time to go to Suplex City! This was a good match, with lots of action. All guys hit their moves, submissions, and so much more. I was impressed with even Roman Reigns! Holy crap the dude threw down. This was fun, and a great showing. Oh, and of course, I had to mention Braun throwing the damn padded chair made another appearance. Lame.

Summerslam was good, no doubt. But was it great? Not as good as NXT if you ask me. The wrestling was good, but this was really long, and that’s my only big critique for this show. After sitting through so many hours, I don’t know if I even want to review Raw, but probably will. This was a lot of wrestling, and a lot of burials, and random notes. Oh, and Elias is great, more Elias and the Drifter!

WWE Monday Night Raw August 14, 2017 Results and Review Lesnar Still Sucks

Bork Lazer Vs. The World - SRC WWE.COM

Wow, color me late again. This is a review that should’ve been up on Tuesday or Wednesday, but instead, it’s getting written right now. I’m late, and that’s because I had to once again sit through 5 hours of television to get through this. Or 4 hours, I don’t recall. Either way, here’s my review of the HULU version of Monday Night Raw, because you asked, or didn’t, I don’t know what is going on sometimes.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 14, 2017 Results and Review

Was there a talking segment to open things up? Maybe? I think it may have been Seth Rollins, and if it was, I was bored. Cesaor and Sheamus luckily came down to beat him up, but oh no, here comes Dean “Boring” Ambrose to stop it. I was not thrilled, as I think he’s been resting on his laurels for some time, and his in ring performances have bored me as of late. Rollins and Dean tease the fist bump, and then connect, because you know, the Shield reunion is going to be inevtible, and Roman Reigns will need them to win the title, if you ask me.

This set up a tag team title’s match for SummerSlam this year.

Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax

They say that there was a women’s revolution in WWE, but you know what? Revolution means a full circle, and that’s what we are getting. This match was not that long, and it wasn’t believable to me. The match between Jax and Banks from Fastlane was far better if you ask me. However, this was good for what it was, and Jax loses again, while Banks goes on to face Alexa Bliss. It should be a no-dq match, but something tells me Little Miss Bliss is going to retain.

Elias attacked R-Truth

This was not on HULU.

Big Cass and the Club Sandwich Boys break Big Shows Arm.

You read that right. There’s not much I can say about that. Big Cass did cut one good promo, though. Although, it was hard to pay attention to him, as he was “orange”. I kid you not. That spray tan was too much.

Bray Wyatt defeated Finn Balor

This was a dumb match. Balor barely got in any offense, and Bray Wyatt just easily beat him with a crotch shot and Sister Abigail. I still think that Wyatt should get a real Sister Abigail to show up, and he should also team up with Bo Dallas. Wishful thinking on my part, which will likely never happen, I’m sure. Bray Wyatt wins, then pores blood on Balor. But wait! The commentary team did not say anything about this. The HULU version edited out the commentary teams statements, so you didn’t hear them say acid, or whatever it is that people on twitter said. Who cares, this is a boring feud. I hear the Demon is coming at Summerslam, ok. Sure. Finn Balor is nothing more than Alex Wright 2.0 if you ask me.

Akira Tozawa defeated Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Tozawa is a great character, and he can really put on a show. This match, wasn’t that great. However, the big senton bomb from Tozawa saved it. He has some serious height on that, and it reminds me of how good Dick Togo was. This was a good performance from both, but the title change seems odd to me, especially since I’m not following 205 Live as much as I had in the past. I need to get back to it.

Jason Jordan defeated The Miz via DQ

This was fast, and it didn’t get far. Jordan got jumped by Miz’s cronies and that was that. Jordan then cleaned house, but the Miztourage is going to definitely cause disruption for the young guy. Oh, and the fans could care less, which means they care just a little.

Jason Jordan and The Hardy Boyz defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

Oh, I almost forgot this happened! The Hardy Boyz ran down to save Jordan from a beat down, and that prompted Teddy Long to come down and declare a tag team match! Ok, he didn’t come down, but that’s what happened, a six man tag happened, and that was that.

Bork Lazer fought off a few dudes.

The ending of Raw had Lesnar getting pulled away from beating up the rest of his opponents from Summerslam. I will say this much, the main event is going to be predicable since Lesnar will win and will be at Raw as the champion. That’s been leaked already, so there.

Overall, Raw wasn’t terrible. It was actually watchable for the most part. However, I could not get into the main event, and the lack of lengthy matches makes me miss the old Raw shows where wrestling took more of a front seat, then just randomly throwing together storylines before a PPV. I guess that’s what 2017 WWE is now, a crash course in pro-wrestling.

WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 Results and Review

Lesnar Really Earned The Paycheck This TIme - SRC WWE.COM

Some people are calling this the best event that the WWE has put together since Wrestlemania. Others are not so happy with the results. Me? I had a blast watching a great deal of the matches, and while I wasn’t in Dallas, I really wish that I was there. Oh well. The great thing about WWE’s build up thus far is that they were able to put in a lot of effort into pushing certain stories, over others. But that doesn’t mean that the show was amazing on all arenas, there were some missteps, but here we go, this is how it went down, and what I thought of the show, now that I’ve had 24 hours to stew on it, so to speak.

WWE Great Balls of Fire 2017 Review

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Akira Tozawa

Not a terrible match, but it was obvious that Neville was only going half speed. Tozawa is good, and he put on a showcase, but Titus and him couldn’t get this win over Neville. I’m souring on the cruiserweights, and I’m not sure how long WWE is going to push the show, if they are going to do so at all in the near future, oh well. This match was good, but too bad it was an opener and not on the main card.

Bray Wyatt def. Seth Rollins

The eater of pins got a clean win on Seth Rollins. Some say it wasn’t clean because of a thumb in the eye, but you know what? He was on the outside, and Rollins was pulling his hair. He came back into the ring, breaking the referee’s count, and pinned Rollins after a Sister Abigail finisher. That’s about as clean as you’re going to get folks.

Big Cass def. Enzo Amore

Enzo cut a cool promo, but then got beat down. He lost big time. Cass is big, he gets the win. Not a great match. Enzo is done in the WWE if you ask me.

Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus def. The Hardy Boyz (30-Minute WWE Iron Man Match)

This was a fun 30 minute match, and the two teams put on a clinic if you ask me. I loved it. I loved how Matt even got busted open the hard way. The teams are so good together, and they just gel during the whole match. All of the offense and defense was fun, and the timing went well. Just a lot of great spots here, and some great overall timing on the part of both teams. I loved it. Great iron man match, and this feud rolls on, again.

Sasha Banks def. Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss via Count-out

Sasha Banks was able to beat Alexa Bliss after a great back and forth battle, but only because Bliss got herself counted out. That means that she kept the title, which is what I’ve been saying all along about the heel champions. They should pull this more often. As for Banks, she is great, and was able to launch herself off the top of the announcers table, with double knees, and busted Bliss mouth wide open. A great spot, a good match, and smart booking if you ask me.

Intercontinental Champion The Miz def. Dean Ambrose

I didn’t care for this match, but Bo Dallas looking like the One Man Gang was cool. The MIz won with the help of his crew, and Ambrose is going to need a new partner to square off against, if you ask me. I’m tired of his phoning it in.

Braun Strowman def. Roman Reigns (Ambulance Match)

I didn’t expect this match to be as entertaining as it was. It was definitely a fast paced, fluid match, and the two put on a show. Roman Reigns was over zealous at one point and launched himself into the Ambulance, and LOST clean! He got so mad, however, that he threw Braun into the ambulance and then rammed it into a semi. He nearly KILLED Strowman, in storyline. This is nothing new. People are talking a heel turn, I don’t know. I liked this match, and am glad Strowman got the win. He may be next for Lesnar, and will most likely lose.

Heath Slater def. Curt Hawkins

Wow! Heath Slater and Curt Hawkins were sent out to battle, and the WWE didn’t even show it for the most part. Slater won, but the show was not showing the match, the cameras showed the ambulance and Braun backstage.

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar def. Samoa Joe

This reminded me of the WWF Championship run that The Undertaker had in 1997. If you remember the matches after Wrestlemania 13, you will realize that The Undertaker fought everyone off in really competitive matches until meeting head first against Bret Hart at Summerslam. That match was epic, but he fought off Farooq, Stone Cold, and many others on the way to Summerslam that year. Lesnar could very well be that good, if he wrestled more often, but this match was great. Joe was not afraid, and he put the boots to Lesnar, and even went to Suplex city many times. However, one F5 later, and Joe loses clean in under 10 minutes. This was a great match for what it was, even if it was short. I hate Lesnar now, but hey, Joe got the best of him, and there’s no telling where this is going. Joe showed me that he could and should be champion, if you ask me.

There you have it, the big event is over, and the matches are done. Who knows what is going to go down tonight on Raw, but it’s going to be an interesting one, no doubt.

WWE 205 Live April 25, 2017 Results and Review The C Show At Best Comes Through

Austin Aries gives a beat down - SRC WWE.COM

They say that 205 Live is the most exciting hour of wrestling, but honestly, it’s more like 45 minutes of boredom. This night’s show was not good. It was bad. It was an absolute terrible showing if you ask me.

Neville defeated Jack Gallagher

WWE 205 Live April 25, 2017 Review

Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa defeated Noam Dar and Brian Kendrick

Rich Swann’s entrance is one of my favorites. His enthusiasm for what he does is infections. If I am ever in the arena, I will be dancing along with him, because he is quite fun to watch. Akira Tozawa has also won me over. The two make a good team, and they were able to get the win over Noam Dar and Kendrick. This was a good flowing match, with fast paced shots, and great overall momentum. Nothing crazy, just pure wrestling action here, so for that, great job WWE.

Tony Nese defeated Mustafa Ali via Disqualification

I’m a fan of Tony Nese and Mustafa Ali, but I don’t need to see them wrestle every week. This moved the needle a bit towards the feud with Drew Gulak and Ali. Other than that, it was a somewhat boring match, with Ali and Nese going through their normal motions.

Neville defeated Jack Gallagher

Neville and Jack Gallagher did the same match you’ve already seen them do on PPV. This time, Neville would get the win with the Rings of Saturn, and never going too risky. Afterwards he beat up Gallagher, and that prompted Austin Aries to run out and beat him up.

This night was boring. There was a few great spots, but overall, it was not fun. The opening match was the best part of this show, and other than that, this is another forgettable night from the cruiserweights of WWE.

WWE Wrestlemania 33 Results and Review 7 Hours and The End of The Undertaker

The Undertaker Retires After Wrestlemania - src wwe.com

WWE Wrestlemania 33 has come and gone. The show was insane, because it was 7 hours long. Not since the WWE did 14 hours of Mania in 1998, have I sat around and watched so much WWE. I started this thing at 5 PM and held on past midnight. I also woke up at 3 AM because I can’t sleep. Not because of WWE, but because I just have a hard time sleeping.

With that all in mind, let’s discuss the event and how it all went down, because I wasn’t all wrong about what would happen.

WWE Wrestlemania 33 Review

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Austin Aries

Neville and Aries put on a very good match. I said this would happen, and this time around everyone was in their seats. I’m always surprised by how over Aries is. He had the crowd with him, until the end. The match started to get into a strong style of fighting, and it looked like Aries was going to win this one, until Neville raked his eyes and basically caused him to let go of a sure thing submission. Neville then hit his final spots and won this. Aries did not win, like I said, and it was an incredible opener.

Mojo Rawley won the 4th annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

Not one person called this. Not one person. Gronk from the Patriots was ringside, and got involved with this match, but it was Mojo Rawley that won after the dust was settled. Not one person that I know called Mojo winning, so good for him.

Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose def. Baron Corbin

The pre-show concluded with the intercontinental title match, and for the most part this was Baron Corbin putting on a show. Dean Ambrose wrestled the same match we’ve seen him wrestle 900 times. I guess that’s ok. He was moments away from losing, but managed his Dirty Deeds DDT and got the clean pin, that’s that. The first time Dean defends his title in like 80 days, and he wins clean. Corbin will most likely get the win down the line.

AJ Styles def. Shane McMahon

I still do not agree with how long this match went. Styles went through a LONG match with Shane. Shane should not be able to hang with the former champion, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re the boss’s son. You can hang with the champions like you have a fighting chance. Shane eventually missed a bunch of big spots, leading Styles to get the win.

Kevin Owens def. United States Champion Chris Jericho

A predictable, entertaining match that was highlighted by a giant list of Jericho. Other than that, this wasn’t that good at all. It was workable, but I didn’t care for it. Now that Owens is the champion, maybe he’ll get some great defenses.

Raw Women’s Champion Bayley def. Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks and Nia Jax (Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match)

This match was interesting for a moment, but logically didn’t make sense to me. Why would Charlotte team up with the others to get Nia out? Flair should’ve let Sasha and Bayley do all the work while she waited. Ric would’ve let them battle, like he would do in Lethal Lotteries, but that’s ok. This match eventually broke down to Charlotte and Bayley, with Bayley winning. This wasn’t great, but it wasn’t bad.

The Hardy Boyz won a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match to win the Raw Tag Team Championship

The Hardy Boyz showed up and 70,000 plus people were chanting “DELETE, DELETE, DELETE” and it was surreal. The guys came down and did some great spots, but it wasn’t all them. Everyone involved put on a show, including Big Cass, and Enzo. It was a fun romp with a lot of great moments, but in the end it was Broken Matt Hardy that got the win, and a HUGE ovation from the crowd.

John Cena and Nikki Bella def. Miz and Maryse

I hated this. Miz and Maryse were completely buried. Ok, they weren’t completely. Miz did most of the heavy lifting, hitting Cena with a lot of offense before he eventually was buried by Super John Cena. John Cena then proposed to Nikki, and that was that.

Seth Rollins def. Triple H (Non-Sanctioned Match)

A slow moving, very illogical street fight ensued. Triple H had an incredible entrance. Stephanie McMahon looked amazing, and wow, what a beautiful woman she was tonight. Seth Rollins put on a show of everything but the kitchen sink. However, the dude had a knee injury, but was forgetting to sell it most of the time. Triple H accidentally pushed Stephanie through a table, and Rollins would get the win.

Randy Orton def. Bray Wyatt to win the WWE Championship

Orton and Wyatt, wow, what a terrible match. Orton wins, in a very strange, and boring affair. The ring had maggots and worms projected on it after a few spots, and well, an RKO out of nowhere and it was done. What a lousy match.

Brock Lesnar def. Goldberg to win the Universal Champion

Not like I thought it would be, Lesnar buried Goldberg. Under 5 minutes, and Lesnar, the 12 million dollar part timer, and drug cheater won the Universal title. B.S. and that’s the end.

Naomi def. Alexa Bliss, Natalya, Carmella, Becky Lynch and Mickie James to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship

This match was absolutely rushed, and it was Naomi with the win. I love her, she deserves it, but the match was so rushed that it was just kind of boring.

Roman Reigns def. The Undertaker

Wow. What a terrible way to end the show. The Undertaker looked so old, so tired. He didn’t have much left in the tank, and it showed. Roman Reigns took a beating, no doubt, but The Undertaker couldn’t do a lot. He didn’t walk the ropes, and couldn’t lift Roman for the Last Ride. Roman couldn’t lift Undertaker for a tombstone, and it was painful to watch this match. It was lumbering, it was tired, and Roman Reigns eventually won and left the ring.

The Undertaker stayed in the ring, then left his gloves, coat, and hat in the middle. That was it. The show ended with Taker going up the ramp, and then going away. Undertaker has retired, and that was that.

Wrestlemania 33 Final Thoughts

I do not like the 7 hour show format. I do not like the throwaway of some of the talent. There were no cruiserweights other than the opening pre-show matches. The Smackdown Tag titles weren’t defended, the women’s matches were short. I just didn’t think this Wrestlemania was that good. Not only that, there is no way they could fit 75,000 people in that stadium, it only holds 65,000.

At the end of the night, this was a longwinded, overblown schlock fest. Takeover was more fun, if you ask me. I will think about going next year, because I really liked the idea of sitting at the show, but then again, 7 hours? I don’t know if I want to sit for 7 hours to watch wrestling, when I can do that at home. This was not a terrible Wrestlemania, but the booking didn’t make sense at times, and the matches were lacked chemistry in others. Other than that, it’s a forgettable Wrestlemania for me. It is not going to live on like the first 17 did, I’m sorry.

What are your thoughts on Wrestlemania? Drop me a line, share this, and I’ll see you for Raw sooner than later.

Rich Swann defeated Ariya Daivari
Mustafa Ali defeated Brandon Scott
The Brian Kendrick defeated Akira Tozawa
Neville and Austin Aries talked for too long

WWE 205 Live March 28, 2017 Review

Let me ask you something. Where is Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik? I though there were more cruiserweights in the WWE, and for that matter, where is Kalisto? He’d be perfect in this division. Oh well.

Rich Swann defeated Ariya Daivari

This was a workable match, but there is no real story here. Daivari has more of an influence with Jack Gallagher than with Swann, and this just seems like a waste. A shortened match with a few good spots to boot.

Mustafa Ali defeated Brandon Scott

Mustafa Ali has made a fan out of me. I wasn’t sure about him, but wow. What a worker. I hope they put him in more main event matches, because he’s ridiculously good. He’s wasted on this show though.

The Brian Kendrick defeated Akira Tozawa

Akira Tozawa should’ve got his revenge, right? Nope. Kendrick wins this slow paced to mid-paced match up of not so epic proportions. It’s ok, but it wasn’t as impactful as they were building up to for weeks.

Neville and Austin Aries talked for too long

This felt like it dragged on and on. There’s no real hype for me. Why was Austin in his regular clothes, but Neville in his wrestling gear? Neville didn’t wrestle on this show. Aries is ok, but honestly, I don’t see the hype. I guess I’ll find out at Mania whether he’s worth the ticket price.

That’s it. This episode of 205 Live was not worth it. This was just a bland, mayonnaise sandwich on white bread. It just wasn’t fun. Oh well. I guess we’re on to NXT tomorrow, and hopefully I will have a review of an old school classic.

WWE 205 Live March 21, 2017 Results and Review The Most Wrestling Per Hour

Neville Stomped Out Mustafa Ali - SRC WWE.com

I’m doing what most people are not doing. I am watching and reviewing WWE 205 Live. I don’t know a lot of podcasts that even cover it, and they have their reasons. It’s stupid, but hey, I’m not a podcaster yet.

This week on 205 Live, we had a few backstage elements that moved the needle. Noam Dar said he wasn’t going to be sending gifts and insinuated that Rich Swann was sending them. Meanwhile, Jack Gallagher was teaching Swann how to be a gentleman. Good stuff there.

Neville defeated Mustafa Ali

WWE 205 Live March 21, 2017 Review

Tony Nese defeated Tj Perkins

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

Akira Tozawa defeated Jobber

Tozawa beat up a jobber, nothing special.

Austin Aries interviewed himself

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

Neville defeated Mustafa Ali

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

WWE Fastlane 2017 Predictions – The Predictable Road To Wrestlemania

This weekend, live from the  BMO HARRIS BRADLEY CENTER in Milwaukee, Wisconsin the WWE is putting on their annual PPV Fastlane. I don't really remember last year's event, but I'm sure it was not as good as this line up they got going this year.

This year, leading into Wrestlemania, a lot of stories are colliding. With that in mind, here are my predictions to this event. I'm sure everyone has their ideas as to what will occur.

WWE Fastlane 2017 Predictions 

Universal Champion Kevin Owens vs. Goldberg

All eyes are on the Universal Title, and I think that Goldberg is going to take the win. That's right, Bill Goldberg is going to bury Kevin Owens, and that's it.

Roman Reigns vs. Braun Strowman

How do you keep Strowman strong in defeat? Nearly kill Reigns, and then fall over, only to have Reigns fall on top of him. That's the way. What do I think? Roman Reigns will bury Strowman.

Raw Women’s Champion Bayley vs. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair will win again. Bayley is floundering on the main roster.

Sami Zayn vs. Samoa Joe

Zayn will put on a good fight, but it will be Samoa Joe that puts his lights out here. Zayn is a whipping boy for WWE.

Cruiserweight Champion Neville vs. Jack Gallagher

Gallagher is going down. I love his work, but Neville is going to win and it's going to be brutal.

Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass

The Club Sandwich boys will win, most likely via DQ.

Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax

Banks is going to lose a close one this time. She'll probably cut a promo about how since she was a little girl she loved Eddie Guerrero and what not.

Rich Swann & Akira Tozawa vs. The Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar (Kickoff Match)

I can't wait to see what Alicia FOOOUUUUUUXXX is wearing. Noam Dar is so charismatic, I hope he and Kendrick pull the win here. However, I'm going with Tozawa and Swann winning with a nice set of moves.

There you have it, my predictions for this weekend's show. I will be drinking, that's for certain.

WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Results and Review Remember The Rumble and Complain About It Online

Meh. Just Meh. 

January 29, 2017 was a big day for WWE. A lot of hype surrounding Royal Rumble was in place, and a lot of people were looking forward to seeing what would happen with the volatile nature that comes before the Road to Wrestlemania officially begins. Everyone made predictions about anything and everything, except for me. I just got a six pack of Old Chub, ordered 2 large pizzas, and watch the show like a true fan. But today I’ll be reviewing it, and talking about what I liked, what I didn’t like, and all of the in between stupidity that I can remember from the night. 52,020 people packed into the Alamodome for this one, and I almost went. I kind of regret it now, but I didn’t want to drop a thousand dollars to go there, without any friends, and then hire an escort to keep me company for an hour, before going back to loneliness. Whatever the case is, here are my thoughts on the Rumble, which I vaguely remember after the Old Chub. Or the Chubby One as I call it.

WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Results

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, and Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and Natalya
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated Cesaro and Sheamus for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Titles
Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks
Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley

Neville defeated Rich Swann for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship
John Cena defeated Aj Styles for the WWE Championship
Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble after eliminating Roman Reigns

WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Review

I debated not watching the pre-show, but my wife wasn’t feeling well and fell asleep. So that left me with a choice. Should I drink a 6 pack of Old Chub without pizza or wait for pizza to arrive? I started the party and watched the entire pre-show, which I normally wouldn’t. I had to get up at 4 AM the next morning, but I still made it through this 6 hour epic. Here are my thoughts on what I remember.

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella, and Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and Natalya

Here we go, the first match of the night and the crowd wasn’t even in their seats yet. I would’ve been 3 light beers and a hot dog into my night. This match wasn’t that great, although it was around 10 minutes. The Feminazis on Twitter probably complained that this was like a Divas match not a women’s revolution. Oh well.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated Cesaro and Sheamus for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Titles

I still call it the “BRO” Kick, and well, one of the referees got kicked hard and that was it. The club sandwich boys get their win. There you go. All you Japan marks can be happy now.

Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks

R.I.P. Sasha Banks. The Boss is now just an intern. Nia Jax blew right through Banks slapping, and throwing her 90 pound body at her. Banks lost, and got buried, simple as that.

Charlotte Flair defeated Bayley

Bayley put on a good showing here, even busting open Charlotte’s mouth, but that didn’t factor into the fact that Charlotte’s a beast on PPV. If you put the title on the line and it’s a PPV event, she delivers like her father. With that in mind, Bayley went down after a serious finisher on the apron. Great push. I liked it, and that was that. Bayley has a long way to go before she gets the title, and Charlotte needs more competition, simple as that. Don’t tell me it’s Asuka, she can’t speak English that well, yet.

Kevin Owens defeated Roman Reigns

23 minutes is all you need to tell a great story in my view. You do not need 50 minutes and Japanese fans to get a good match. Kenny Omega can go suck it. Here’s a killer match. Roman Reigns put on a show, but you know what bugs me? He is superman. He gets hit in the face with brass knuckles, kicks out, gets hit with a Stone Cold Stunner, kicks out, frog splash through a table, kicks out, and that’s it. Kevin Owens threw everything at him, and if it weren’t for outside interference from Brown Shoeman, Owens couldn’t beat Reigns. That’s the story that was shown here, and it’s sad. Owens cannot beat Reigns, simple as that.

Neville defeated Rich Swann for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Neville beat Rich Swann. I’m tired of being told that the cruiserweights are high flyers. This match exemplified the dichotomy. These guys are supposed to be fast moving, high flyers, but yet the matches for the WWE Cruiserweight belt are mostly mat based, and include tapping out each time. Does no one win the title with high flying? Nope. It’s boring.

John Cena defeated Aj Styles for the WWE Championship

Once again, Kenny Omega can go suck it, because under 25 minutes, a story of epic proportions was posted. John Cena won huge here, and I loved the match. A great back and forth match, with lots of near falls, and some great story telling. Superman Cena won after a rolling AA, which was great. I loved it.

Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble after eliminating Roman Reigns

The Royal Rumble match went over an hour. The people that drew number 1 and number 2 were Big Cass and Chris Jericho! Jericho sat out the match for the most part, which is dumb booking. Why have him stay so long? Zayn should’ve been the number 2 guy, since his conditioning is way better.

The most exciting moment in the whole thing for me was Jack Gallagher and his umbrella! That was great, and loved every minute. James Ellsworth was great too, and then things dropped out.

The Undertaker looks fat.

Goldberg and Lesnar again! Lesnar got thrown out fast, lame.

Roman Reigns threw out Undertaker, and Randy Orton dumped him out to win the Rumble.

Overall, I had a lot of fun. The match was fun, the whole night was good, but honestly, this was a forgettable Rumble for me. I won’t remember much, except for maybe Jack Gallagher’s 3 minutes of fame. I loved it. Give that guy more time in WWE, I’ll pay to see him. Other than that, meh, Orton vs Cena again? Ok. Sure.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 9, 2017 Results and Review The Longest 3 Hours Ever

Why Is Kevin Owens So Fat?

Raw was at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and they put on a show that no one seemed to like. Ok, some people may have enjoyed it, but I sure didn’t have a blast watching it. It was a boredom movement that was supposed to be 3 hours, but if you take out the commercials, it was only 2 hours.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 9, 2017 Review

I’m going to just run down my thoughts on different things, instead of going play by play. I figured I might as well give my thought son things as you already know what happened.

Braun Strowman aka Brown Shoeman BURIED Seth Rollins

The fact that Seth Rollins got so much offense in was interesting, since Sami Zayn had to be in a Last Man Standing match in order to get that much offense. Not only that, the WWE painted the big guy as a guy that couldn’t get the win. Like he didn’t know the ten count. Rollins was buried here. When’s the last time Rollins did anything worthwhile? Where’s Triple H? Why is this happening?

Jack Gallagher is a great force in the cruiserweight division!

I love Gallagher, and he’s got some great style. I hope that the WWE doesn’t mess it up with his storylines, etc. I don’t know what is going to go on. He may eventually get a title shot, but honestly, he’s doing well with just being charismatic, if you ask me.

Big Cass def. Jinder Mahal

BORING

Shawn Michaels promoted a movie that I and no one else will be seeing.

Neville def. Lince Dorado

Neville won a fast match, and guess what? He got beat up by the cruiserweight champion. But why does the WWE insist on playing theme music for run ins? Just have the guys run in and beat people up. Stop playing their music first!?

Raw Tag Team Champion Sheamus def. Luke Gallows

Another boring match that led to nowhere.

Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair & Nia Jax def. Sasha Banks & Bayley

Are there only 4 women in the whole Women’s Division? At least with the divas division there were far more women to juggle into the matches.

Kofi Kingston def. Titus O’Neil

BOREDOM.

Jeri-KO def. Roman Reigns to make Chris Jericho the new United States Champion

It’s always nice to see Jericho, that young up and comer winning a title. If you watch Raw, you would assume that there are only 3 major people in the company. Why? Because we’ve seen them wrestle 90,000 times! This was so boring.

Oh and the Undertaker? What the hell? Why is he so slow, and why is he on RAW? Why is he not on Smackdown? Why is Stephanie McMahon being such a bitch on Raw? Why is Foley still GM? Why is this show so damn boring?!? Who is liking any of this?

WWE 205 Live January 3, 2017 Results and Review How To Bore A Crowd In 1 Hour

This is the High Flying Action of The WWE Cruiserweights

I was tired. I couldn’t finish WWE 205 Live in one sitting. This was boring. No, seriously, this was the worst example of Cruiserweight wrestling today. There’s no saving grace here. Well, maybe one.

WWE 205 Live Review

Tajiri def. Sean Maluta

Maluta got buried. Tajiri is great, but only when working with a faster paced style. Watch his work in ECW and you’ll see how amazing he can be, and watch his latter work in WWE and he can showcase amazing elements. This wasn’t that at all. This was a slow moving match that ended with Kendrick coming out getting sprayed in the face with mist. Meh.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Jack Gallagher def. Tony Nese via Disqualification

This match didn’t go too far. Gallagher is great, but against, he has to work with great talent for this to work for him. This was a short match, and of course, it was boring. He’ll get his day in the sun, sooner, than later.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Mustafa Ali def. Noam Dar

The only cool spot here was Ali’s inversed 450 splash. Other than that, Dar worked Ali’s arm, in a slow, boring match.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Neville def. TJ Perkins

Neville buries Toe Jam Perkins, no one cared.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

205 Live promises to give you a lot of action. But that’s what the show is lacking right now. It’s a boring hour of wrestling, and I’ve seen XPW shows live. The guys are talented, but WWE isn’t allowing them to work the frenetic style that made the Cruiserweight Classic so good. WCW had better options because they sold moves, they had strategy, they were great fun, these matches aren’t. These are slow moving matches with a few high spots, and boredom throughout. The crowd hates a lot of it, and I do too.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 29, 2016 Review

A lot went down, but I don’t recall most of it. I was tired, and it’s a lot of the same old BS on the show. Here are some memorable elements, or at least things that stuck out.

Long Winded Talk Opener

The opening segments on the shows kill me. I don’t want to see a lot of talking. I never liked that. I don’t like any talking to open shows, as I’m trying to watch wrestling. But alas, we’re in a new era so I guess you just have to suck it up, because that’s what you’re going to get, talking.

Sheamus defeated Cesaro

This is awful. Does anyone actually want to see these guys wrestle 7 times? Terrible match, terrible ending, I’m hoping that it doesn’t go through all 7 matches.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day & Bayley def. Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson & Dana Brooke

The Club Sandwich boys are terrible. Here’s another example of how they are being buried on Raw. I don’t care about them, you shouldn’t either. Bayley is cool and all, but this was a waste of talent on the show. I didn’t like it.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Kevin Owens def. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Big Cass to become the new WWE Universal Champion

I didn’t see this swerve coming. Kevin Owens actually wins the big one. That’s right, Kevin Owens is your new Universal Red Fruit Roll Up Champion. He won only after Triple H eliminated Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins by hitting a pedigree on each one of them, and letting Owens get the pin. That’s it. There’s your new champion, and Jim Cornette can go to hell.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 22, 2016 Results and Review: Rollins Is Unsafe

The Shining Spot for WWE This Week

Monday Night Raw has come and gone, and people were wondering what was going to be the fall out from Summerslam. Well, what you’re going to end up seeing is a lot more of the same old BS that made the old era, well, tired. This time around the show opened up with Finn Balor giving up the WWE Fruit Roll Up Title to Seth Rollins. It should be noted that Bret Hart said on a podcast that Seth is UNSAFE and he injures people.

Everyone had their panties in a bunch, and then the Summerslam match happened. As soon as I saw Rollins throw Balor into the barricade, I knew he was injured. I called it on twitter, I called it in my house, and yet NO ONE GAVE ME CREDIT. That’s how big my site is. Whatever. I called it first, and you can believe me or not, but Seth Rollins is unsafe, and should be fired. The guy sucks. He injured Finn Balor, he injured John Cena, he caused Sting to retire. They fired Ken Kennedy for less. Whatever. Here’s what happened on Raw, I only saw the HULU edition, and am still upset over the lackluster showing at Summerslam this year. What a crock of dog…never mind.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 22, 2016 Review

As you know I don’t run down everything that happens, I just talk about what I remember and what was actually worthwhile, so here we go.

Seth Rollins def. Sami Zayn to advance to next week's Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Match

Sami Zayn got injured in this match, or at least faked it, but you know what was funny? The commentary team kept mentioning that Seth Rollins injures people. Good job, play it up you putz. I hate the commentary on Raw. Anyways, this match wasn’t half bad, but you knew that Sami was not going to beat Rollins. The whole night was predictable, and that kind of sours the whole pro-wrestling thing for me sometimes. Rollins wins after the predictable pedigree, and that’s it. Nothing to see here. Zayn may or may not have hurt his ankle. Does it matter?

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Bayley def. Dana Brooke

Bayley finally comes to the main roster, only to take the place of Sasha Banks, who is legit injured. People were saying it was a wellness violation, but it’s not, she’s just injured. She’ll be back in a month or so. Bayley, for now is going to match up well against Charlotte, but will not win. Dana Brooke put the boots to Bayley, but it was Bayley’s night to shine, so the match went well enough. Feminazis on twitter are going to hate that this match wasn’t the main event or even longer than about 10 minutes. I can already see them hating the divas revolution.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

The Club Sandwich Boys beat up The Dudley Boys

The Dudleys are either kayfabe retiring, or they did not renew their contracts with WWE. They are a joke team now. The Club Sandwich guys showed up to beat up The Dudleys, but I don’t care about them. Oh and the Puerto Rican guys were out there to talk trash, only to get beat up as well. Overall bad segment.

Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho to advance to next week’s Fatal 4-Way WWE Universal Championship Match

I knew the winner before it started. Roman wins. He’ll get to the main event spot, he’ll win, I am going back to sleep.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Final Raw Notes

In the end, Raw sucked. You know it, I know it, and everyone at the building knew it. One shining moment doesn’t make for 3 hours of fun. No mention of Brock Lesnar, or the fact that he doesn’t care about wrestling and just makes money. Also, no signs of Randy Orton, but maybe he’ll be on Smackdown to declare it’s the end of his career. Who cares, who knows, this is all a bunch of BS.

Even the HULU edition of Raw sucked this week. Maybe Smackdown will be better, I don’t know. We’ll see.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 8, 2016: The Return of Boredom Movements

I can only see the HULU edition of the show. This review isn’t complete, as I can only see the limited edition that comes through HULU the day after Raw. I also want to mention that this is not a traditional review like other sites. I don’t need to recap everything, as not all the show caught my attention.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 8, 2016 Review

Let’s start the show with a long talking segment again. Why not? Ok, well this was ok since Enzo Amore is gold on the mic, and his mic work against Chris Jericho was great overall. Kevin Owens coming out to say that he is going to hurt Enzo and Cass was great. This led to a match between Jericho and Enzo, which was ok, but it was mired by interference.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Seth Rollins is annoying on the mic. I did like that he mentioned that his name could’ve been “Rambo Apocalypse”, now that’s a name I can get behind honestly.

Finn Balor Needs To Learn To Speak Native English

When Finn Balor talks it sounds like he has marbles in his mouth. It’s bad. I should know. I am a Naturalized American Citizen and I have to work really hard to ensure that my words are understood straight out. I worked hard on my lingual abilities and Finn should too. Heck Seth should too. Cody Rhodes should get rid of that lisp too.

Roman Reigns messed up Lana and Rusev’s celebration which was kind of funny. I’m never going to cheer Reigns though. I did find this amusing.

Sasha Banks defeated Dana Brooke

This match was boring to me. Dana is a jobber, Charlotte and Sasha mistimed a slap, the whole match lasted less than a few minutes. The feminists WWE twitter people are going to be mad about this one, I’m sure. They’ll most likely talk bad about anyone that disagrees too.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Luke Gallows buries Kofi Kingston

I liked this burial, can’t lie. However, I wish the club sandwich boys would go back to beating up John Cena. The brand split isn’t exactly sticking afterall.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

The ending with Daniel Bryan from Smackdown talking to Mick Foley was stupid. I though tthere was a distinct brand split? This served no purpose but boredom.

At the end of the day, this was the worst Raw since the brand split, simple as that.

WWE Monday Night Raw 3/8/2016 Results and Review Leading To Roadblock 2016

The opening was ok. The best part of Raw’s opening was Shane McMahon beating up security guards. I’m sure they were indie wrestlers, but it was nice to see some aggression from Shane. Of course, this review of sorts is taken from the HULU version of Raw.

Kevin Owens defeated Neville

Not a bad match. Neville’s precision in doing high spots is absolutely second to none. He’s absolutely impressive. Owens is good, but wow, Neville made this an insane match. Owens wins with a roll up, boring.

Sami Zayn showed up to beat up Owens, but I’m not impressed. Last I saw Zayn, he messed up his shoulder against John Cena.

Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks defeated Tamina and Naomi

Short match, Lynch and Banks win. Charlotte comes out, who cares. So tired of this status quo.

The New Day defeated Chris Jericho and Aj Styles

Aj Styles has some of the most impressive offense, and no botches. The New Day has numbers in their corner, so they were able to pull it off. However, Styles put on a showcase of amazing moves, and great overall work. Jericho is still crisp at his age, wow. The New Day won, but not without a serious battle and some great reversals, and overall work. Great match up, too bad there wasn’t a title change. Jericho and Styles are once again at odds, expect a Wrestlemania match, from what I read online.

Dean Ambrose defeated Bray Wyatt by DQ 

And here was a good match, ended with a DQ. I'm starting to get really jaded about wrestling. I've hung in there a long time, but this stuff is getting really dumb. The Wyatt's are weak. They never win feuds and now I'm supposed to believe they have Ambrose's number? This feud already happened, with Wyatt losing.

Triple H came out, got a DDT for his walk out, and that's it. I'm starting to hate wrestling.

WWE Monday Night Raw 12/28/2015 Review Vince McMahon Goes To Jail

Once again, I had to fight myself to stay awake for this showcase. I am reviewing the Hulu edition while I still have Hulu, as I may not have it after January 6, but we will see what happens. That being said, this week’s Raw came through and well, it was a lot of…well…crap. I want to be optimistic, so maybe I shouldn’t dismiss it so fast, but let’s get into it and see what went down and why the end of 2015 for WWE is ending with a whimper instead of a bang.

Vince McMahon Goes To Jail

Up front, Vinnie Mac called out Roman Reigns, and that led to Stephanie McMahon coming out. This whole starting point went to start a storyline in which Vince McMahon was arrested by the police, and Stephanie was screaming about it, while her music played. Yes, the music was playing here. Oh man. Anyways, Roman Reigns stood tall as Vinnie Mac went to jail.

Neville defeated Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens lost this match in less than 20 seconds or so. This was a waste of talent. Afterwards Owens went nuts and beat up Neville around the ring. But who cares, right? This was a waste to me. I don’t think Owens needs to be established as a crazed, fighter, because we already know he’s good. What a waste of Neville and Owens.

Sasha Banks defeated Becky Lynch

Well, this was a surprise. It didn’t last long, but Lynch and Banks actually put on a good wrestling match. There were some slow spots, and it was obvious that they weren’t going to be allowed a lot of time. The rushed finish aside, this wasn’t half bad. Banks is such a good performer, and Banks, well she’s losing so much I smell a heel turn. This is ok, but nowhere near what you see in NXT.

Kalisto defeated Kofi Kingston

This was a fast paced match, as you’d expect. However, this is where I started to fall asleep. New Day did their thing on the mic, but the Lucha Dragons don’t have much personality, and despite their in ring work, it’s not as entertaining as WCW or ECW’s lucha division stuff. WWE just doesn’t know how to book good action within the scope of lucha style, so the mix kind of falls flat if you ask me.

Big E defeated Sin Cara

Screw it. Sin Cara sucks. He dislocated his shoulder and it looked like he was going to quit, like the other Sin Cara did. This was stupid. The shoulder aside, it seemed to be ok enough to finish the match, but still. This threw me out of the match. Big E is good, but come on, the whole “my shoulder!” thing just played terribly. WWE should fire Sin Cara, and Kalisto. They should get a better shake in Mexico. Man, I miss WCW and ECW right now.

Big Show Is the Number 1 Entrant in the Rumble, and I don’t care. I hate Big Slow.

Ryback defeated Big Show via count out

Who cares.

The League of Nations defeated Dean Ambrose and The Usos

I fell asleep on this one. I’m tired of six man tag team matches. How did the Usos win the slammy for the tag team of the year? I don’t know, this was just boring to me. Ambrose is ok, but man, the six man tag thing is just tiresome.

John Cena defeated Alberto Del Rio via DQ

I’m so hoping for a John Cena heel turn that this match seemed boring to me. Then again, I didn’t see it, since I was passed out. Oh well.

That was the end of that. WWE really took a dump on any momentum they had last week to this week. Then again, they didn’t have momentum after the terrible Slammy Awards debacle. I am trying to be positive about wrestling, but with shows like this one, it’s very hard to do so.

Roman Reigns defeated The League of Nations via count out

WWE Smackdown 12/3/2015 Review

There was a lot of talking up front. The whole show was set up with Roman Reigns talking and the League of Nations coming out and setting up matches. Roman Reigns would take on the League if the tag match with his friends against the New Day went well. Otherwise, it was going to be Reigns against the League solo. Guess what happened?

Tyler Breeze defeated Neville

Tyler Breeze took on Neville in this one. Neville delivered a good amount of offense in this match against Tyler Breeze. Breeze is improving, but the narcissus gimmick is a bit tired for me. On the merits of the match alone, I liked it. Neville is a great performer, and Breeze used Summer Rae to ensure he got a quick win and distraction.

Brie Bella defeated Becky Lynch via disqualification

Brie Mode was all in with this match up. Lynch had Charlotte outside rooting her on. Becky Lynch lost, but only after Brie hit Charlotte and Charlotte jumped into the match to fight her. Lynch and Charlotte have another wedge between them, and it continues to build.

New Day defeated Usos and Dean Ambrose

The New Day usually gets cheered right? Well, I couldn’t help but noticed that there was a lot of piped in booing, which was definitely odd to me. Oh well. New Day got the win here as the numbers game started to rise up. They targeted one of the Usos injury, and that was that. This would set up the main event handicap match. Overall, however, this was a fast paced, fun match with the New Day winning over the team of the Usos and Ambrose.

Bray Wyatt defeated Devon Dudley

Before this match, the lights went out. When the lights came back on it was R Truth waving hello at people. Then the lights went out again and out came the Wyatt family. Devon still has it, he was able to hold his own against Wyatt. Wyatt of course gets the win to make it seem like he’s strong. After the match up, things went south and the Dudleys got beat down with Tommy Dreamer going through a table. Sad.

Roman Reigns defeated The League of Nations via count out

Ok, here we go. The main event was great. I loved it. People online were complaining because they read the spoilers, and it was dumb. No, Roman didn’t go over clean. He outsmarted the League this time around, and didn’t go the Super Cena route.

King Barrett got himself disqualified so he had to leave the ring. Roman Reigns was able to mount some offense and things spilled out to the outside. Then the count started, and Roman was able to get inside the ring before the 10 count finished and won via count out. He didn’t pin anyone, the League didn’t go down weak, it was a technical win, and that’s it. Afterwards there was a brawl and the two factions fought and that’s it.

Overall, Smackdown was great for me. I liked the wrestling here. Dolph Ziggler on commentary was fun. Smackdown had some good wrestling, and Reigns definitely is doing better, even if he’s taking a beat down. If you’re not watching Smackdown, you’re missing out on some good wrestling. I liked it. I really did. I guess I’m weird.

WWE Monday Night Raw 11/23/2015 Review

Ah yes, Nashville got the night after Survivors Series. The opening was interesting, in that Roman Reigns got told that he should’ve shook Triple H’s hand last night. Then of course, he gets attacked, but not by the Authority, by Rusev. Rusev will now be the in between guy to beat up Roman before going for the TLC ppv and a title shot against Sheamus. I’m going to say that he doesn’t win, and he ends up not winning the Royal Rumble either. That’s my two cents. Rusev sucks, he couldn’t beat Cena, he got jobbed out left and right, so meh on all of this, meh on it.

Bray Wyatt defeated The Dudley Boyz

Why? Wyatt beat up the Dudleys, and the Wyatts are supposed to be “strong” again? They just got jobbed out last night to the Brothers of Destruction. This is stupid. I have no care for the Wyatts, as they lose every feud, and that’s that.

Becky Lynch is the latest victim of the distraction Roll Up. Ok match, but so much for that “divas revolution”, right? Lame. The girls are good though, give them more time WWE.

The New Day was funny, but running away from the tag title match, and wasting time is a great piece of evidence that WWE is out of touch. It’s like watching the Southpark episode about wrestling, to be honest. They are funny, but why hold onto the belts by running away? I miss the days of the strong champions.

Neville defeated Mark Henry

Not a bad match, just very quick. Henry is still employed? Wow.

Double count out for the Divas Match? Really. Meh.

Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler put on a cool, throwaway tag match. It was fast paced, and finished well enough, but it meant nothing in my view.

Roman Reigns defeated Rusev by Disqualification

A solid match from these two ended with Roman Reigns getting beat up by the villains of the WWE. Most of which haven’t won anything, or done anything of significance for a while. I think that with this, we’ll end up seeing Roman get into the Royal Rumble at #1, and still not win. But that’s me. Unless the WWE is planning on eventually putting the belt on Reigns, I don’t know.

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.
