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 July 2, 2018 Results and Review This Is The Best They Can Do?

Shatter Machine on Reigns - SRC WWE

WWE Monday Night Raw used to be the A show, the flagship show, the show that you couldn’t miss. It was the better show between WCW Nitro and others. Then they got lazy. They have gotten so lazy, in fact, that this is one of for the ages in terms of bad. There was some seriously bad things on this show, and you know what? I’m going to talk about the good, the bad, and the bad, because that’s what I found to be true about this show, and not since WCW had some insane things, has it been this bad.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 2, 2019 Results and Review

Let’s get things started with the opening. It had Roman Reigns, yes, Reigns talking a lot of BOB in his opener, and I didn’t want to hear it. I got tired of it, but hey, it’s Reigns, he’s going to get attention no matter what. He talked trash, that prompted Dolph Ziggler to show up, they got into a scuffle, and then we got some information for later on in the show, it will be Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns versus Dolph ZIggler and Drew Mcintyre, because they got the better of Roman.

Curtis Axel defeated Matt Hardy

Axel made fun of Hardy at first, then we had a B team match in which Matt Hardy lost. Axel won in a fast match, and that’s about it. There’s not a whole lot I can say about this. It was ok at best.

Dr. Shelby Showed UP To Work With Bayley and Sasha in Counseling

I kid you not. This sucked.

The Authors or Pain defeat Titus Worldwide

This was another short match, and it ended with Titus Worldwide jobbing out again. Yay, more jobbing.

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins defeated Dolph ZIggler and Roman Reigns

This wasn’t a terrible match, it had some great exciting moments, but what I didn’t like was the ending. The Revival showed up out of the crowd and beat up Roman Reigns, and then Rollins got a beat down too. These two guys got beat down, and that was that. The match ended in a DQ finish, and that was that. This was a good match, with a lot of back and forth, mind you, it just had a terrible ending.

Baron Corbin Apology

Baron Corbin wanted an apology from Finn Balor. He instead got beat up a little, and that was that. They’ll fight sooner than later, I’m sure.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

This was a good women’s match, a lot better than I would have expected, but what gets me is that Liv Morgan loses here, and the Riott Squad may be left without their leader if she can’t heal the MCL issue. This was an ok match, don’t get me wrong, it just didn’t feature the way I thought it would, and honestly, I don’t understand why factions can’t beat single people.

Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley defeated The Revival via DQ

Well, another DQ finish, and this time around Roman Reigns got a beat down from The Revival and Bobby Lashley walked out on him, as you’d expect. Fun stuff here, I guess.

Mojo Rawley beat up No Way Jose

Yep. I give up.

Nia Jax defeated Mickie James

This had a good match feel to it, and the two worked well enough together, the match had back and forth action, but in the end, Nia Jax was able to finish of James, even with Alexa Bliss on her side.

Braun Strowman defeated Kevin Owens via count out

This was awful. Owens looks like a chicken, he ran off, and hid in a porta potty, then it was knocked off the stage. That’s it. This is how they ended Raw. Not even Vince Russo could think of this.

Well, that was a bad Raw. There’s not a whole lot to say, but I did come up with a theory.

Ronda Rousey, this weekend, is going to cost Nia Jax the title, because she not only wants to beat up Alexa, she wants to take her title too. Watch for the swerve this weekend as Rousey will be at Extreme Rules, in the front row, according to the story. Oh and Raw wasn’t grand, but there were a few bright spots, just awful finishes. No Elias match, lame.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 23, 2018 Results and Review The A Show Drags On

Riott Squad Flying - SRC WWE 

If you were to claim that the status quo was going to return to the WWE after WrestleMania, you were right on. This night of Raw was par for the course in many ways. I didn’t think it was terrible, but it definitely wasn’t that grand. I was laughing at some points, and overall, there are some good things to talk about, but was it a great night of Raw? Nope!

WWE Monday Night Raw April 23, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened with a 10 Bell Salute for the latest fallen WWE legend, Bruno S. Legend in every way you can define it.

Roman Reigns confronted Brock Lesnar after Lesnar was jumping around the ring and having Heyman talk to him. This was boring, and I’m so sick of Lesnar in WWE. I don’t like Reigns, but I hate Lesnar at this point.

Elias defeated Bobby Roode

Onto the first match of the night, a competitive bout with Elias getting the better of the Glorious One. Smart move by Elias getting Roode’s shoulders caught up in the ropes, then yanking for a quick roll up and a pinfall victory. As far as in ring psychology is concerned, this was a good match, but it was short and just kind of ended etc. Elias is great, I love him, and Roode is a great technician, so this may be the start of a longer program.

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated The Ascension

Guess what? Paige Here! I kid. Wyatt and Hardy buried the Ascension. It was what you’d expect.

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre defeated Titus Worldwide

Well, Apollo Crews has his last name back. Other than that, this was a terrible match with a focused ending that was great. Ziggler and Mcintyre’s finisher is awesome, but other than that, they are burying another tag team, as this wasn’t competitive at all.

Chad Gable defeated Jinder Mahal

WWE Raw is now officially Hindering Jinder! Gable put on a fight after getting blindsided by Jinder, but eventually succumb to the onslaught that the bigger man was throwing down. Gable would throw in some good offense here and there, and would eventually outsmart the big man whom’ tried to get his finisher on him. The classic back bump into a cobra clutch pinfall was great here, and it made Chad Gable smarter than Jinder Mahal on this night, which I loved.

Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

Oh, before this match was even a thing, they had the Kevin and Sami Show or something. It was ok at best, but it was just the two rambling on about random topics. Kurt Angle put them in a match and this was it. Lashley started things out and it wasn’t too bad, Zayn getting beat down for most of the match, but then Strowman tagged in. Strowman is a one man wrecking crew and was able to really knock down the duo, and eventually would get the pinfall. Strowman and Lashley could very well run rough shot through the tag division, and I don’t mind it.

Baron Corbin attacked No Way Jose

No Way Jose was supposed to battle Baron Corbin, but instead, he get a beat down at the top of the ramp. Is this the way that they are going to bury No Way Jose? So soon?!

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor defeated The Miztourage

Well, the Miztourage again gets buried. Earlier in the show they tried to join Seth Rollins and then they tried to form their own Balor Club, but it didn’t work. The two ended up getting beat down, and that’s the end. Jobbers today, and jobbers tomorrow. A filler match with no real repercussions.

Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, and The Riott Squad defeated Nia Jax, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Natalya, and Ember Moon via Disqualification

I loved this main event match, and it featured 10 women that really know how to work today. The action was crisp, there was some back and forth, and aside from Natalya looking like she had a legit knee injury, I was all in for this one. Nia Jax squashing 5 women off the apron was fun, and watching the women work is always fun. The match would be thrown out when Ronda Rousey came down to help Natalya, as she was getting a beat down from Mickie James, and apparently was injured.

Overall the night of Raw was good, it just felt very long. The Moment of Bliss PSA was funny, and the backstage antics of The Miztourage was great too. I had a lot of fun with the show, although there seemed to be a lack of decent story line progression with the matches, but I guess that’s the case with Raw sometimes.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

Miz Is Raw - SRC WWE

Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania is usually a good thing, and honestly, it didn’t feel like it was 9 hours long for a change. Let’s consider the Monday Night Raw after Wrestlemania here before I get to Ring of Honor and Joey Janela’s Spring Break 2.

Monday Night Raw April 9, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show had Stephanie McMahon trolling the audience and then introducing Ronda Rousey. Rousey showed up and then put McMahon into an armbar and got her to tap again, and it got the crowd going nuts.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

This was an incredible match that showcased Ember Moon’s skills, and really made Jax look good too. Ok, incredible is a bit much, but I’m still high from the NXT Takeover show. Good overall match, not a long one, but enough to get Ember Moon over as a newcomer.

No Way Jose defeated a Jobber

No Way Jose beat a jobber and danced. I liked it.

The Revival defeated The Club Sandwich Boys in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

There’s a tournament for the number one contenders to the titles, and the Revival fought their long time rivals the Club Sandwich boys. The Revival won after they hit their finale, and that was that. It was a short match with a fast finish and that’s it.

The Miz, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor were talking in the ring and Jeff Hardy showed up, making a match for later. This wasn’t bad, but it was more talking.

Mandy Rose defeated Sasha Banks

This wasn’t bad, Mandy Rose was able to beat Sasha Banks thanks to Bayley’s outside interference, and that was that.

Bobby Lashley attacked Elias

Elias showed up and sang a bit before Bobby Lashley showed up and beat him down and that was that. Nice to see Lashley back, that’s for sure.

The Authors of Pain defeated Heath Slater and Rhyno

This was a burial, nothing more. I can’t believe how far the former Smackdown Champions have fallen.

Samoa Joe cut a promo on Roman Reigns

Cool!

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt defeated Titus Worldwide in a Tag Team Eliminator Match

We very well may see Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt get the tag team titles next. The two are now Woken and are a team, and they beat up Titus Worldwide in a short match.

Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This was interesting, as the winner will get a job on Raw. Neither won, as there was a double 10 count loss, and while the match was good as per usual, the ending was kind of dumb.

Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, and Jeff Hardy defeated The Miz and The Miztourage

A great match this was not. It was good, but not great. The good guys flew through the ring and controlled a lot of it, including Jeff Hardy throwing down all of his moves and getting the crowd to go completely nuts for the tag team work that the guys did here. The Miz and Miztourage lose again.

Overall, Raw wasn’t too bad, and it was better than most weeks. However, it’s not something that I loved, and it didn’t have the same gusto that you’d get with other nights after Mania. It was good though, don’t get me wrong.

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 March 5, 2018 Results and Review This Is All They Got?

Elias with A Stellar Elbow Off The Top - Source WWE dot com

Another long one folks, it seemed like Raw took 3 to 9 hours to get through, and it wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t half good either, right? There’s a lot to break down, and I’m sure the one million podcasts out there are going to talk about it, so I don’t have to. But I will discuss what went down with Monday Night Raw as you always expect from this blog that was established on Myspace then moved here in 2007.

WWE Monday Night Raw March 5, 2018 Results and Review

The opening segment was quite good with Kurt Angle calling out Triple H only to get Stephanie McMahon. That prompted Ronda Rousey to come out, and all hell broke loose when she tried to slap Kurt Angle. Triple H came out to stop things, and that led to a break down in communication after a while, and fisticuffs broke out. Angle got the better of Triple H, and as Triple H was moving out of the ring, Ronda grabbed Stephanie McMahon by the hair and delivered a Samoan drop on her! This of course comes after Ronda said that she would want to face Stephanie McMahon at Wrestlemania. Kurt Angle threw himself into the mix making it Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle versus Stephanie McMahon and Triple H in a tag team match.

I really liked the segment and marked out huge for Ronda’s Samoan Drop! I’m a fan, and she’s amazing to me, I’d love to have a conversation with her someday.

Asuka defeated Nia Jax

One of the hardest hitting matches since Sid Vicious versus Chris Benoit for the WCW Title was featured here. Asuka took a serious beating for the most part, and Nia Jax was able to get the upper hand in nearly all of the match, with the sole exception of the ending. Asuka was able to wear down Nia Jax enough to strap on a nice submission on the arm, then an arm bar and made the big girl tap. However, Jax did everything to get out of it, including trying to drop Asuka on the mat with a powerbomb, and a buckle bomb, and she just couldn’t get out of it. She was left in the ring crying, and led to a segment backstage where she was crying some more, and I couldn’t hold it together. I can’t see a grown woman cry, I wanted to hug her. Good match, and Asuka wins again. Wow.

The Bar defeated The Revival

This was an interesting little match, and I do say little. The Revival came through with some nice moves here and there, but The Bar wasn’t going to let them get the win, they polished up their moves and eventually hit their finisher and buried the Revival. The Revival were just buried here, and that’s the end of the line for them if you ask me. What a lousy way to get called up to the main roster, jobber central.

John Cena defeated Goldust

This match wasn’t half bad, but it was setup to be a lot bigger. Goldust cut a long scathing promo on John Cena, and that setup a match. The two went back and forth, but honesty, it wasn’t held together well with the crowd. The crowd was quiet all night, and while this should’ve been better, it just wasn’t that great and Cena would eventually get his moves of doom and win the match, and that’s the end.

Bayley defeated Mandy Rose

This wasn’t to bad of a match, but I don’t get why Absolution keeps losing. They are supposed to be dominant, and yet they keep losing, and here we go again, losing to Bayley. Bayley was good, and after the match got a beat down from the girls of Absolution and was saved by Sasha Banks. Banks went in for a hug and Bayley refused! This was good, and pointed to the complexities of their friendship right now.

Braun Strowman defeated Elias in a Symphony of Destruction Match

This match featured a lot of musical instruments and falls count anywhere. It started with Elias playing the instruments and singing, then asking for an introduction of proper means. When the lights went out, he ran for it, and was trying to escape the arena, but couldn’t. Braun was holding his car hostage by lifting it up and that caused Elias to get out and run back to the arena. Strowman beat the snot out of Elias for the most part and then buried him under a piano and a large bass guitar, and that was that. Strowman wins again, Elias was left for dead.

Bray Wyatt defeated Rhyno

Wyatt buried Rhyno, and that was that. Not a good match at all. Remember when Rhyno and Heath Slater were over like crazy? Yeah, neither does the rest of the arena.

There was a promo with Matt Hardy declaring war at the Hardy Compound, which should be fun for a final deletion.

Finn Balor and Seth Rollins defeated The MIz and The Miztourage

After the Mizzie Awards went on, the two thorns in the side of Miz came through and were thrown into a match with the Miztourage and The Miz. Finn Balor and Seth Rollins were dominant throughout, although there were a few moments when The Miz outsmarted them. It was short lived because Balor and Rollins would throw down their finishers and eventually pick up the big win, and that was the end.

Paul Heyman did another promo.

This was boring. I am tired of Lesnar’s lazy ass, and Heyman doing the same old promo over and over again. Roman Reigns showed up, and that was the end of the show. What a lousy way to end things.

Raw wasn’t half bad, but like I said, it wasn’t half good either. My favorite moments were the Asuka versus Nia Jax match, and the Symphony of Destruction match, other than that, this was a boring road to Wrestlemania. Oh, and the opening, how can I forget that? Good stuff there too.

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 Elimination Chamber 2018 Results and Review

Twisted Bliss Off The Pod - Source WWE dot Com

I really wanted to go to Las Vegas to see this event, but instead, ended up staying home and watching it with my 5 cats. Well, it was predictable, but was it worth your time? My time? Well, here we go, something that is definitely worth exploring on a deeper level. Let’s discuss WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 with the results and review from me, Sir Jorge.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2018 Results and Review

The kick off show had Booker T and David Otunga back. We also got backstage interviews, a Paul Heyman segment, and a match. This wasn’t bad, but I was cooking so I had to miss a few things overall.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated The Miztourage

This was the most basic of openers. I’m sure if I was live in the crowd I would have loved it. But watching it from home, it wasn’t that good. The Miztourage are nothing more than jobbers, and the Club Sandwich boys are boring to me. I didn’t think this was much of a match, and it really wasn’t supposed to be, was it?

Alexa Bliss won the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match

Alexa Bliss withstood an onslaught of punishment from Sasha Banks and Bayley as they were the final three in the match. Bliss turned on Bayley as soon as she could, and Bliss hit a lot of great moments. She missed Twisted Bliss at one point off the top of a pod because Banks put her legs up. Other than that, it was a showcase of several women’s talents, a few botches, and the story that Bliss can hang with all the women, although everyone did well here and I was into it. A 40 minute epic it was not, but it was good to see them fight through this one. Bliss winning is cool, and I liked Banks and Bayley’s push. I hope they get it on one more time as they are great to see wrestling together.

The Bar defeated Titus Worldwide

This was a fast moving match and while it was entertaining, you knew that The Bar was going to win. There was a moment where I thought that Titus Worldwide was going to get the win, but that faded fast after Sheamus got a hot tag and beat down the athletic guys. Titus Worldwide loses again, but Dana Brooke looked amazing. I’d love to tag with her someday. Oh, the Bar wins with a weak finish, and it looked like Cesaro may have twisted an ankle. This was a fast, safe match, and it was kind of like filler.

Asuka defeated Nia Jax

What a match. This was a monster of a match and Nia Jax wasn’t done with Asuka, even though she lost. She lost after an interesting take down from Asuka that pulled Jax’s legs nearly over her head and shifted her weight over her own. It’s a good finish, but Asuka did not dominate. She got the bricks beaten off her, and I was impressed with the overall match. Nia Jax is the real deal folks, and wow, what a match. She’s awesome.

Ronda Rousey put Triple H Through a Table and got Slapped in the Face

This signing was interesting in that Rousey put Triple H through a table, and then got slapped as hard as possible by Stephanie McMahon. Kurt Angle snitched on Triple H and Stephanie, and this was a bit awkward, but Triple H went through a table which was fun. The crowd was chanting, “YOU FU**** UP” which was awesome! Rousey is amazing, I’d love to hang out with her.

Matt Hardy defeated Bray Wyatt

This was bad. It was a normal match, and Hardy won. I don’t know what I can say about this. It was just Hardy getting the win, but the fans were chanting “Rusev Day” at one point, which shows you how much this crowd wasn’t into this match.

Roman Reigns won the Elimination Chamber Match

And away we go, heading to Wrestlemania with Roman Reigns in the main event, again. Now, the big thing coming out of this is interesting, in that Braun Strowman eliminated everyone else with his powerslam. It was a great match for him, but he lost to Reigns, again. He then beat him up afterwards, but that was that. Everyone else had good showings, but no one seemed ready for Strowman, which was fascinating.

In the end, The Elimination Chamber deserves a B grade for entertainment, but it was so predictable, that I don’t really care to rewatch it. That’s the sign of a terrible PPV isn’t it? I haven’t wanted to see anything WWE has put out in a long time, which should speak volumes to this for sure.

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 September 4, 2017 Results and Review Still Too Long of A Show

The Big Show vs. Braun Strowman - SRC WWE.com 

WWE Monday Night Raw was live from Omaha, and while this is the HULU review, I can’t say that I was fully entertained by the condensed version. Why? There was a lot of filler. I could not believe how much filler was placed in the 90 minutes that the show ran. I now present to you the following run down of what I remember from the show, which I just watched this morning. I couldn’t sleep last night, and all I could think about was reviewing this, and posting reviews on other pages, etc. So here we go, the night of wrestling based on the HULU edition of WWE Monday Night Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 5, 2017 Results and Review

John Cena defeated Jason Jordan

Jason Jordan has a lot of talent, I will not take that away from him. However, the people do not care for him, even though he put on a showcase with Cena. Cena is always interesting to watch, especially this late in his career. Jordan got close several times, but perhaps the best spot here was the rolling Northern Lights Suplex to Bridge and pin combination. How Cena kicked out of that one is insane, since it looked devastating. I loved it. Cena wins, of course, but wow, Jordan still can’t get over.

Roman Reigns showed up and tried to trash talk Cena, but was still lambasted by John Cena.

Cesaor and Sheamus defeated Slater and Rhyno

HULU did not show this.

The Miz defeated Jeff Hardy

Not a bad match, but far from the best that these two can throw together. Hardy loses clean here, even after the Miz’s friends and Matt Hardy were thrown out. Not much to say here, a good overall match, but not the best. It was quick and easy for The Miz to get this win, even though Hardy is still looking good out there.

Enzo Amore, Cedric Alexander and Gran Metalik defeated Noam Dar, Tony Nese, and Drew Gulak

HULU did not show this.

Bray Wyatt Showed Up For A Promo

This was dumb. Wyatt challenged Balor, at No Mercy. Ok. I still think Finn is lesser than Alex Wright.

Nia Jax and Emma defeated Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks

This was not a half bad match, but it was really the Nia Jax showcase. She was shown strong against Bliss and Banks, while Emma was getting a lot of the punishment from the unlikely pairing. Jax would get the final laugh, beating up everyone, and dropping people with her Samoan Drop. It was a fun little match, which will cause a 4-way for the title at No Mercy. This was ok at best, but it was entertaining enough.

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins defeated The Club Sandwich Boys

HULU did not show this match.

Braun Strowman defeated The Big Show in a Steel Cage Match

This was a good overall match, with Strowman getting the big win. However, Show threw out some top rope moves, took a superplex, and finally a running power slam. Strowman looked strong in defeat, and then threw Show through the side of the cage. This wasn’t half bad, but it didn’t really impress me, since I know far too much about WWE has treated show when he came in. His run in WCW was great, with him doing missile dropkicks from the top rope.

Overall, Raw was in holiday mode. This was a boring night of wrestling, with a few highlights, but overall, it’s a throwaway show with a few good points. I liked the main event, and the women’s match, but that’s about it. I won’t remember this show for anything too crazy, that’s for sure.

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 Monday Night Raw August 7, 2017 Results and Review The Padded Chair of Doom

Padded Chair of Doom - SRC WWE.COM

This week I sat through 5 hours of wrestling. Ok, not 5 hours, only the 90 minute version of Raw on Hulu and then Smackdown live on Hulu. I watched them back to back, so that has to be something good, right? Whatever the case is, Raw was not exactly fun to watch, but Smackdown had a few notes. This time around on Raw, there were some good spots, and classic matches, but the HULU version condensed a lot of the things that you would normally expect. With that in mind, consider the following review of RAW from the Air Canada Centre, in Toronto, Canada.

WWE Monday Night Raw August 7, 2017 Results and Review

Brock Lesnar laid the Miz and his crew to waste.

The opening segment had Lesnar beating down the Miz and his crew with ease. This was fun, but what’s the big deal? Lesnar obliterates the Intercontinental Champion? Not only that, did you see the Miz’s wild swing against Lesnar? It was funny.

Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins

Sheamus rolled up Rollins, and then beat him down, forcing Dean Ambrose to show up. I think. I think that’s the story that was told, or maybe not. I’m having a hard time remembering this, because it was absolutely boring.

Sasha Banks defeated Emma and Alicia Fox

The women’s revolution eh? Well, if a fast moving match with minimal offense and probably 5 minutes of time is a revolution, then sure, we have a revolution. This was telegraphed a mile away. Sasha Banks wins, and the rest were boring. Emma is still getting buried.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson defeated Enzo Amore and Big Show

Well, this match sucked. Enzo is not liked backstage, according to a lot of sources, but you wouldn’t know since this match had the crowd going nuts for him. Show and Enzo lose, but then Show gets the last laugh with a right hand. They are going to have Cass versus Big Show with Enzo in a cage above the ring, which is just bad. Either way, this match sucked, and the Club Sandwich boys aren’t doing well.

Bray Wyatt Attacked Finn Balor

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Dean Ambrose defeated Cesaro

Another roll up, but this time Seth Rollins ran down. Rollins ran down and saved Ambrose, but they didn’t shake hands or fist bump. This match was boring, and Cesaro was rolled up. Man, so many roll ups, I’m tired.

Akira Tozawa defeated Ariya Daivari

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Nia Jax defeated Mickie James and Dana Brooke

Wow, Dana Brooke is hot to me. I’m sorry. Mickie James too. These are two amazing women, and they are very strong and athletic. Then there’s Nia Jax, wow, some improvement, but not exactly an in ring scholar just yet. I liked this match, and loved the ending, with Nia Jax going strong and moving forward to facing off against Sasha Banks.

Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match

This was great. This was a great match with Roman and Braun putting on a show. There were a lot of great moments, but the scene of the night was Reigns getting hit in the face with an office chair. Strowman threw a chair at him and Roman went down, people went nuts, and I couldn’t help but think that the chair was super padded. Roman went down like a sack of potatoes, and it was funny to see. Samoa Joe came out of the audience, NO MUSIC mind you, and choked out Reigns.

Bayley gets Booed!

Bayley’s character has been assassinated. Ever since she wussed out at Extreme Rules in her home town, and Alexa Bliss caned the living crap out of her, she’s been going downhill. The crowd was booing, and Bayley really was awful on the mic. She even said, “why are they booing”, breaking character, and making me hate WWE for putting her out there. This was absolutely bad.

Overall, Monday Night Raw had a lot of bad things to it. But there were a few good moments with wrestling, including Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns. I don’t think Reigns sucks. This was an ok show, and worth HULU, but not 3 hours of your time.

Oh, and one more thing. What’s up with the illogical saves? Ambrose and Rollins save each other, but before they do so, their music plays. That’s asinine! Don’t do that! Instead, they should just run down and save their friend, no music, no pomp and circumstance. But no, logic is thrown out the window. Where was Elias, by the way? Oh well. Raw was ok at best.

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 Monday Night Raw April 11, 2017 Results and Review 7 Burials of Raw

Look At The Wheel, Morons, They Can't Make Anything Look Real - SRC wwe.com

Why did this night feel like it was 9 hours long? I watched a version that I found on Youtube, without commercials, and it still felt like it was too long, without any of the commercials. As you may know the WWE claimed there was going to be a shake up going on, and well, they did shake things up. However, it was more like a kid shaking up a soda and then opening it. You’ll find out as I try to make sense of all of this b.s. that the company is throwing at us. Including some nonsensical moves, that just seems, well, special.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 11, 2017 Results

The Revival defeated The New Day (BURIAL)
Big Show knocked out Curt Hawkins (Burial Number 2)
Tj Perkins defeated Austin Aries (Burial Number 3)
Nia Jax defeated Charlotte Flair (Burial Number 4)
Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal (Burial Number 5)
Sami Zayn defeated The Miz (Burial Number 6)
Dean Ambrose defeated Kevin Owens (Burial Number 7)

WWE Monday Night Raw April 11, 2017 Review

With the shake up tonight, there were a lot of burials. Don’t believe me? Well let’s consider this night of Raw, which seemed to last 9 hours!

Dean Ambrose came out and thought that John Cena was really in the ring, but it was The Miz. The show started with two acquisitions. It was dumb. Dean Ambrose is playing goofy Ambrose.

The Revival defeated The New Day (BURIAL)

The Revival took a lot of boots from The New Day. The New Day showed up with a Kofi Kingston blow up doll. The Revival would win, after a back and forth bout, and that’s the end. The New Day is buried, and will most likely be on Smackdown, if you ask me.

Big Show knocked out Curt Hawkins (Burial Number 2)

Curt Hawkins got buried. I hated it. I like Curt Hawkins.

Tj Perkins defeated Austin Aries (Burial Number 3)

Austin Aries, the number one contender, lost to Tj Perkins. Perkins is great, don’t get me wrong, but he has been on a losing streak for some time. This seems odd to me. Good match though. Possibly best of the night.

Nia Jax defeated Charlotte Flair (Burial Number 4)

Charlotte Flair must be going to Smackdown. She was buried tonight.

Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal (Burial Number 5)

Finn Balor buried JInder my Balls, and Bray Wyatt announced that he was going to take him on. Finn Balor will beat Wyatt, and Mahal is buried yet again.

Sami Zayn defeated The Miz (Burial Number 6)

The Miz got buried by Sami Zayn. Wow. So much for that jump.

Dean Ambrose defeated Kevin Owens (Burial Number 7)

Michael Cole said, “Ambrose buries Kevin Owens with dirty deeds”, and that’s that. It was bad. Dean Ambrose continues to wrestle the same match over and over again.

Also, Roman Reigns was buried by Strowman. People cheered Strowman. Strowman will get his burial later, as Reigns is NOT going to lose that feud. This night seemed like 9 hours of Raw. I’m tired. The Shield is back.

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Results and Review Throw Logic Out The Window Again

Undertaker Looked Awful On Raw, It's Time To Retire - SRC WWE.COM

I am late on posting this review because I was held up by someone wanting to pay me to link to their page. They pulled out like Xavier Woods did with that Paige leak, oh wait, he didn’t pull out. Point is, I am late, no thanks to an SEO company that wanted a backlink. Lame.

Moving forward, March 20 was a great time to be alive, because Raw was going to be in Brooklyn, and the Paige leaks were going to get a lot of attention from the crowd, right? Well, that didn’t exactly happen because WWE knows how to silence crowds in production, and that’s exactly what happened on this show. If you were looking for a logic based wrestling show, you’re going to absolutely want to avoid going back and watching this one, it was about as awful as it can be.

Samoa Joe defeated Sami Zayn
Charlotte Flair defeated Dana Brooke
The Brian Kendrick defeated Tj Perkins
Nia Jax defeated Bayley in a No DQ Match
Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and Enzo and Cass
Austin Aries defeated Tony Nese
Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns via disqualification

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Review

The show opened with a talking segment, and I for one am tired of this sort of start to the shows. I miss the days where you would get wrestling and just that. Nope, that’s not what you’re going to get with WWE any longer. You’re going to get drawn out talking segments, which are usually awful. With this opening, Stephanie McMahon fired Mick Foley.

This prompted Sami Zayn to come out and run his mouth, and McMahon to bury him by putting him in a match with Samoa Joe.

Samoa Joe defeated Sami Zayn

Samoa Joe put the boots to Zayn. Zayn did get a few shots in, but it was painfully obvious that Samoa Joe was going to beat Zayn yet again. He won this match by making him pass out. Zayn is a glorified jobber, and that’s really sad. They are wasting his talent. I hope he’s getting paid well, though.

Charlotte Flair defeated Dana Brooke

I was cheering for Dana Brooke. I love her, and I don’t know why. Charlotte didn’t immediately bury Brooke, but definitely had to fight to win this match. Brooke, in my view, should’ve had more offense and being Charlotte’s protégé, should have gotten very close to winning. Flair wins, and that’s the end of Dana, right?

The Brian Kendrick defeated Tj Perkins

This match would have been a barn burner just a few month’s back. Tonight, however, it was short and sweet, and that’s the end of that.

Nia Jax defeated Bayley in a No DQ Match

Bayley was backstage and was run down by Stephanie McMahon. She was put in this match against Nia Jax, and that’s when I remembered. The Women’s Champion is a 12 year old girl. What the hell? Don’t try to think too hard, you’ll break your neck. Nia Jax beat the crap out of Bayley and will be facing off against the rest of the women at Wrestlemania.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and Enzo and Cass

The Club Sandwich boys were buried in about a minute. They were buried, don’t argue with me. Karl Anderson, the guy that was main event caliber talent in Japan is jobbing fast on Raw. I hope he’s getting paid well.

Austin Aries defeated Tony Nese

I don’t see the big deal with Austin Aries. Tony Nese, however, I have seen time and time again impress the hell out of me. Austin will need to put on a tremendous match at Wrestlemania, otherwise, I don’t care for him, and his bravado. A fast match here, but nothing that stands out in my memory.

Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns via disqualification

Braun Strowman was set to get his win back, right? Nope. He was going to get buried again, and you can’t let Roman Reigns look weak. Strowman won this match via disqualification when Old Man Undertaker showed up. Undertaker looked awful. He was slow moving, fat, and he winced taking a simple bump. He then winced when he took the spear, and it just looked awful. Strowman is lost here, and I don’t understand how the WWE can continually bury talent after letting them taste a little crowd interaction.

Raw had more questions than answers folks. Like why would Bayley care if Nia Jax was in the match or not? Why did we see Sasha Banks and Charlotte watch matches sideways? Why is Braun Strowman not involved in Wrestlemania? Why are there only 4 women on Raw? Why hasn’t Chris Jericho defended his title in more than 30 days? Why are the Cruiserweights treated like second class citizens? Why is the wrestling on this show so short?

Oh well. You’ll watch it and you’ll like it. We all will. What a lackluster show folks. Smackdown wasn’t all that better if you ask me. But alas, people think it was.

WWE Fastlane 2017 Results and Review The Biggest Burial Ever

Scott Steiner called in to my podcast to say, "He's FAT". Just saying.

WWE Fastlane was in the midwest this week, and of course I didn't go. I wanted to, and I wanted to go to Smackdown in Indianapolis this week, but have decided to stay home. I decided to just save my money and hopefully I can go to Las Vegas and Spokane. We'll see what happens.

This night in WWE history was interesting, and it was predictable. So predictable that I predicted all of the results except for 1.

Here we go, the results and review for this year's Fastlane.

WWE Fastlane 2017 Results

Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa def. The Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar (Kickoff Match)
Samoa Joe def. Sami Zayn
Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson def. Enzo Amore and Big Cass
Sasha Banks def. Nia Jax
Cesaro def. Jinder Mahal
Big Show def. Rusev
WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Jack Gallagher
Roman Reigns def. Braun Strowman
Raw Women's Champion Bayley def. Charlotte Flair
Goldberg def. Kevin Owens to win the Universal Championship

WWE Fastlane 2017 Review

Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa def. The Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar (Kickoff Match)

The opening match was actually quite good. This match featured Swann and Tozawa putting on a showcase of moves against the heels. Someone said that this was thrown together, but it wasn't. Swann and Dar have been fighting with Alicia Fox in the middle of things.

Samoa Joe def. Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn lost like I said he would. He got beat down, and while he put on a nice show, Joe won making Zayn pass out. Oh well.

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

This was a far better match than any podcast said it would be. The Club Sandwich boys won with smart tag team action. Enzo and Cass are headed for a big break up.

Sasha Banks def. Nia Jax

Nia Jax should've won here. Banks got beat up a lot, and by some miracle won. She made Jax tap out, done and done. This was a disappointing ending.

Cesaro def. Jinder Mahal

Jinder My Balls is so jacked, how does he not get in trouble for steroids? Cesaro won a very entertaining match, which wasn't announced beforehand.

Big Show def. Rusev

Big Show beat the hell out of Rusev. The burial of Rusev is complete now, goodnight.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Jack Gallagher

Wow. This was the best match of the night. Neville really put on a show with Gallagher. Gallagher threw down a great deal of moves. It was a great match, and even my wife looked up from her smartphone here and there.

Roman Reigns def. Braun Strowman

Roman Reigns, wow. The Burial of Brown Shoeman is complete. Braun looked good, went for a huge splash and missed. Reigns wins CLEAN. I kid you not.

Raw Women's Champion Bayley def. Charlotte Flair

Bayley won a hard hitting match, but it wasn't without Sasha Banks interfereing. Flair wasn't in tip top game here. Bayley pushed through a great match, but not without a few misses, so I guess that's something to remember.

Goldberg def. Kevin Owens to win the Universal Championship

Did I call it or did I call it? Goldberg BURIES Kevin Owens fast. Kevin Owens loses in 21 seconds. That's the end of this.

Prediction For Goldberg

Mark my words. GOLDBERG defeats Lesnar in 18 seconds at Wrestlemania. I'm calling it here first.

Or

Goldberg vs. Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho for the Universal Title will be announced so that Goldberg can lose the title to a full timer.

Or

There will be a money in the bank ladder match, and the winner will cash in on Goldberg and WIN. 

WWE Monday Night Raw January 30, 2017 Results and Review Taz Debut and More

Samoa Joe Channeling Tazz

The night after the Royal Rumble had a lot of things that could’ve gone right. But it also had a lot to make up for since the internet wrestling community was really upset about how it all went down. That being said, consider that Laredo, Texas had a pretty crappy Raw. There was a lot more talking than you would expect, and it was painfully obvious that the WWE is not going to shift away from that format of constant talking. Whatever the case may be, let’s discuss the night in the only way I know how, cynical.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 30, 2017 Results

Sami Zayn defeated Chris Jericho in a non title match
Tony Nese defeated Mustafa Ali
Brown Shoeman defeated Kevin Owens via DQ
Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks via match stoppage
Enzo Amore and Big Cass defeated Rusev and Jingle My Balls in a Tornado Tag Team Match
Taz debuted to choke out Seth Rollins

WWE Monday Night Raw January 30, 2017 Review

Sami Zayn defeated Chris Jericho in a non title match

The opening match of the night came after a lot of talk, which I didn’t care for. Whatever the case may be, Chris Jericho came out to take on Sami Zayn, which was a good overall match. It’s funny, because Zayn gets these great wins against small guys, then gets obliterated against bigger dudes. Not only that, he’s constantly doing good work, and is made to look like an idiot backstage. Oh well. This match was good, but not perfect in any way.

Tony Nese defeated Mustafa Ali

Another mat based classic. I wonder why the WWE won’t just let these guys turn it on. They can go, and they can do a lot more than head locks and boredom. Nese was asked a few pointed questions by Ausin Airies and that was the end. Nese may be getting a title shot in the near future.

Neville got beat down by Rich Swann. I didn’t care.

Brown Shoeman defeated Kevin Owens via DQ

Brown Shoeman got a title shot against Kevin Owens, but guess what? The BIG DOG came running down, with music and everything. Owens was selling from the night before, taped up, and limping to the ring. Meanwhile Roman Reigns was looking like he didn’t have a match last night, going through Strowman with relative ease. Owens won thanks to DQ, but that’s that. I am not looking forward to seeing Shoeman buried, but you will see it happen since you can’t really put the BIG DOG down, can you? I hate Roman Reigns sometimes.

Nia Jax defeated Sasha Banks via match stoppage

Sasha Banks has been demoted to the internet. She got beat down by Jax, and the ref stopped the match. Oh well. Banks needs to take some time off if you ask me. Jax is on a collision course to the title, and Charlotte will have to do a lot more than she’s been doing to get a big win.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass defeated Rusev and Jingle My Balls in a Tornado Tag Team Match

Comedy act aside, Amore and Cass do well together. Rusev and Jingle My Balls did ok, but this was a throwaway match with no major title picture contension. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it either.

Bayley, Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Charlotte, and The Club Sandwich Boys

This was a boring match, simple as that. Boring and boring, with Bayley winning after a suplex. I guess it’s a lot easier to defeat Charlotte on Raw, eh?

Taz debuted to choke out Seth Rollins

Triple H cut the world’s most boring promo, and that brought out Seth Rollins. However, Rollins didn’t get his wish of fighting HHH, he instead met face to face against Taz! That’s right TAZ! The human suplex machine! I kid. It was Samoa Joe. However, all I could think of was Scott Steiner. “HE’S FAT!” Oh well. I guess Rollins will have to face Joe, beat him, or rather bury him, then get HHH at mania. Only to win, and then what? Get a title shot? Who cares. Rollins is wasted here.

Brock Lesnar and Goldberg will face off at Mania. Heyman tried his best to do a good promo, but it sucked. I can’t stand the guy. I really hope that Goldberg and Lesnar get another 1 minute match. I don’t want to see them wrestle a long winded affair, I just don’t.

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
Kevin Owens defeated Roman Reigns
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.
