WWE Smackdown Live October 2, 2018 Results and Review The D Show At This Point

WWE Smackdown Live - Source WWE

Paige opened up the show talking, then Aj Styles talked from home, and I got bored. Why do shows start with so much talking? I’m waiting for them to say that someone stole their jobs.

Carmella and R Truth defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

A fun little match, and the two were able to dispose of the Latin stars, and it seemed to be a lot better than would have thought. Fun match, with a good pace, and back and forth.

The New Day Cooking Show

This was awful folks. The Bar came in and beat up everyone and that was that. Lame. Super lame!

Randy Orton vs Tye Dillinger

Randy Orton and Dillinger fought a little, but it was Orton that would get the last laugh as he would try to break Dillinger’s finger, and that was it.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Daniel Bryan

A good back and forth match with Shelton Benjamin getting the win after a distraction and pay dirt! This was my favorite match for the WWE this week, hands down. Great back and forth, and Bryan losing.

Asuka defeated Peyton Royce

A few good moves here and there, but Royce got tapped out by Asuka, in this short match. It wasn’t long at all, and makes me wonder about the bigger picture of WWE’s revolution.

Becky Lynch Ends The Show

Wow, a wrestling show that ends without wrestling? Great. Becky Lynch got beat up by Charlotte Flair, and that was that. Meh. Smackdown is the D show at this point. This segment wasn’t even 5 minutes long, mind you. Oh well, enough is enough, I’m going to get a nap in.

WWE Smackdown Live September 4, 2018 Results and Review

WWE Smackdown Ending - Source WWE

The one thing that I hate about the WWE right now is the fact that they keep starting their shows with pure talk. I’m tired of talking, I don’t care for it, and I honestly just want to see pro wrestling on my wrestling shows. I’m probably in the minority, right? Ugh.

Daniel Bryan defeated Andrade Cien Almas

The talk led to Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas show up and they laid down a challenge for the couple. Bryan would then throw down with Cien Almas, and the match saw Andrade Cien Almas controlling most of the match, and it was a fast flying, frenetic affair. With the women outside of the ring, the two men took on each other with gusto, and it was quite good to see, including Cien Almas countering a lot of offense that Bryan was throwing at him. As if this was going to be any less than another win for Daniel Bryan. I won’t say that Cien Almas is buried, but come on, another loss for him? Why even bring these guys up from NXT?

After the match, we saw Brie deliver the Brie Trigger on Zelina Vega, and that was that. Zelina Vega is hot, just smoking hot. Miz and Maryse showed up and started to yap, and that led to Bryan and Brie to leave the ring and chase them down, at a random restaurant, from what I can tell.

Up next we got more talking! It was Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair getting interviewed. Ugh. I’m so tired of nonsense. Sure they talk smack, and that’s it.

Naomi defeated Peyton Royce

I think it was Peyton Royce. This was a short match and it went back and forth until the Iconics ran in and beat up Naomi after she had won the match.

More talking, and then Joe comes to the ring, and talks. This show has so much talking I went to get lunch and came back and they were still talking. Aj Styles showed up and beat him up, then we got more talking and backstage stuff. By the time the next match started, there was not much left for the show.

Rusev Day defeated Sanity and The Usos in a Triple Threat Tag Team Match

This was a substantial match, but it wasn’t long. The guys put together a good match with some nice high flying moves, and some great back and forth before Rusev eventually got the pin for his team. Lots of quick moves, lots of apron moves, elbows, and more was all you got here. It was a fun match, it just didn’t last long. Rusev would win after a Matchka Kick on Young, and that was that.

R Truth defeated The Miz

This match was short, since the show only had about 10 minutes left by the time it started. This wasn’t a half bad match, and R Truth was able to get a distraction roll up win thanks to Brie and Daniel Bryan showing up. It wasn’t bad, mind you, and the end of the show featured Brie and Bryan taking care of business, until Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega showed up to help Miz and Maryse, and that was that. Another beat down ending.

WWE Smackdown Live August 21, 2018 Results and Review Becky Cannot Be Heel

Kofi Kingston Gets Throw Into Ladder - Source WWE

The show opened up with The Miz retiring from fighting Daniel Bryan. We thought he was going to retire but nope. He did a good job acting. Not a bad way to start things, but come on, more talking to open a show? I hate this. But then again, I love the Miz.

The opening would lead to Brie Bella running down and beating up the Miz, then Daniel Bryan cleared the ring. He then said that he was going to get a match against Miz and Maryse at Hell in a Cell in a mixed-tag team match.

Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy by DQ

The two fought a slow paced match, until Jeff Hardy started to take on Orton with a steel chair, then he climbed a small rig, and then did a Swanton through a table! I thought he was in pain? For a guy that complains that he’s feeling pain, he gives a Swanton Bomb through Orton through a table onto the floor! There was a nice finale to a match that ended swiftly and wasn’t all that good. Hardy threw down, that was cool. I clapped for it, not literally, but figuratively for sure.

Peyton Royce defeated Naomi

This was a good match, although a quick one. The commentary team wasn’t paying attention to most of the match, but that’s ok. The end was good, with a good push forward for the Iconics, but honestly, Naomi deserves more. There was a cool segment here and there, but the match lacked precision and timing. It was short, and eventually Royce got a win thanks to a distraction from the outside, and that was that.

Becky Lynch Promo

Not bad. But I can’t boo her. I just can’t. Charlotte Flair came out and the two started fighting, and that was cool. I hated the camera cuts and movements, but other than that, the two were beating the hell out of one another, and I though that was awesome. They had to be pulled apart. Something tells me they are going to have a Hell in a Cell match for the title. The women came out to stop this, but why? Meh.

Rusev and Lana defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

Another rematch, and it was ok. Nothing big, but Aiden English came to the aid of his friends and allowed them to get the win. This match seemed short, and unnecessary to me, but hey, that’s just my opinion on the matter. Not a great match, but it did have a few cool spots, mainly with Vega, because I find her to be beautiful.

AJ Styles Promo

Styles had a few sentences, and then Samoa Joe showed up and put him to sleep and he got on the mic and said that Daddy’s Asleep, Wendy. Wow. Hell in a Cell match is looming, I’m sure.

The New Day defeated The Bludgeon Brothers in a Brooklyn Street Fight

This was a great match, with a lot of fighting, and a lot of big moves. Woods went flying across the ring with an elbow through Harper and a table to get the win! This was a fight, it was a hard fought battle, and it was great to see The New Day win again. It was a great way to end the show and wow, The Bludgeon Brothers are done now. Just a lot of great moments in this fight, and a great main event if you ask me. Good showing!

WWE NXT December 13, 2017 Results and Review A Stand Out of Wrestling Purity

Aleister Black Wins Again - SRC WWE dot com 

If you like pure wrestling, kind of like WCW Saturday Night, then you’ll like this night of NXT. I loved the showcase, but there were some sour points too. Let’s discuss it.

WWE NXT December 13, 2017 Results and Review

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Fabian Aichner

Aichner took to the skies and surprised Almas, which was interesting. Even though the champ was shocked, he was able to get back into form and won the match with his finisher. Not a bad match, mind you, but it was quick and lacked psychology. AIchner has a long way to go, but here he wasn’t half bad.

Ember Moon defeated Peyton Royce

This wasn’t that great. It was ok. Ember Moon needs better competition than Royce, which is still looking a bit too “diva” like if you ask me. Another quality match, but it wasn’t great because it was so short.

The Authors of Pain defeated Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch

This was a fast paced match with The Authors of Pain turning things around after an initial beat down from the foreign team. They would eventually throw down the gauntlet and put in their finisher before getting the pinfall victory.

Aleister Black defeated Adam Cole

Adam Cole BABY! That’s what Adam kept pushing what his name was, and it wasn’t half bad. I liked it, I popped for it, and well Black wasn’t having it. Black is incredibly skilled at Martial Arts, and can throw it into the match very well. Cole uniquely avoided a few things, but eventually succumb to Black throwing in some great kicks and counters. This eventually ended with Black hitting his big kick and boom, Cole goes down and that’s the end of the match.

NXT may only have been 45 minutes, but it seemed so much fun, and a lot better than 205 Live. I liked this night, but mainly the main event. I can’t wait to see Black as champion.

WWE NXT April 19, 2017 Results and Review Kevin Castle’s Neighbor Competes In A Cage

Tye Dillinger From The Top - SRC Wwe.com 

WWE NXT taped from Full Sail Studios in Orlando, Florida, and I for one wish the school was around when I was younger. I would have gone to that school instead of the Art Institute. Don’t get me wrong, the Art Institute was good, but it didn’t really give me a fighting chance for the real world. Whatever the case may be, NXT was live, and it packed a lot of wrestling into a small package.

WWE NXT April 19, 2017 Results

Hideo Itami made Bobby Roode look like a Chump
Anrade “Cien” Almas defeated Danny Burch
Aliyah and Liv Morgan defeated Peyton Royce and Billie Kay
Tye Dillinger defeated Eric Young in a Steel Cage Match

WWE NXT April 19, 2017 Review

The show started well enough, with Bobby Roode cutting a Triple H like promo. He was talking about a new era, and out came Hideo Itami. I for one, am not impressed by Itami at all. I don’t see the big deal. He showed up to the ring and immediately hit the GTS on Roode, and that was that. I guess he’s a star? I don’t know.

Andrade “Cien” Almas defeated Danny Burch

Danny Burch is a UK star, and he was easily taken care of by Almas. Almas is cool as a bad boy here, but something tells me that he’s not happy. Perhaps it was Alberto Del Rio. Look for Drew McIntyre to bury him next week.

Aliyah and Liv Morgan defeated Peyton Royce and Billie Kay

Royce and Kay are Laycool 2.0. This was a workable match, nothing too great, not a long one, just average. The finale led to Royce and Kay throwing a fit in ring, and that was that.

Tye Dillinger defeated Eric Young in a steel cage

Kevin Castle’s Neighbor, Eric Young put the boots to Tye Dillinger in this back and forth match. Sanity tried to interfere, but they were thwarted, and Dillinger was able to escape this match with the win, and close the door on his Sanity feud. I feel that blood would have helped here, but that’s just my opinion. A good overall match, and a workable finish to a lackluster show.

That’s it for this week’s NXT, it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great. The main event was worth checking out, but other than that, it wasn’t too much to write home about.

WWE NXT April 6, 2017 Results and Review Smartest Main Event Ever

El Vagabundo, Smart Move - Src WWE.Com 

NXT was recorded at the Amway center and the crowd was huge, but there were only 3 matches this time around. I don’t know if this was recorded before or after Takeover, but it was interesting none the less.

Here is how it all went down, in what may be one of the smartest main events, or at least the most fun.

WWE NXT April 6, 2017 Results

Peyton Royce defeated Aliyah
Heavy Machinery defeated The Bollywood Boyz
Oney Lorcan defeated El Vagabundo

WWE NXT April 6, 2017 Review

Peyton Royce defeated Aliyah

The NXT women’s division needs a lot more women. These ladies are ok, but they looked as though they were working in slow motion at times. Not as good as the title picture, I’ll tell you that much. Asuka needs better competition, or to move to the main roster, these women aren’t ready.

Heavy Machinery defeated The Bollywood Boyz

I love the Bollywood Boyz, but in this match, they lost big by the fat guys. I mean, the big guys. They are a fun team, but the Boyz should get more shots at the main roster, I like their gimmick and their style. Great wrestlers, lost against the big guys.

Oney Lorcan defeated El Vagabundo

This wasn’t half bad. El Vagabundo was fascinating to me, then it was obvious that it was the Drifter! I marked out, and the crowd marked out huge. He would lose this match and get escorted out, only after his mask was pulled off. Lorcan is now on 205 Live, I guess? Vagabundo should be going to the main roster now? I don’t know.

At the end of the day, NXT was ok, only saved by the end of the show.
