WWE Smackdown Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review No Time For The 10

Aj Styles Throwing Down - SRC WWE dot com

I’m tired of WWE, I’ll admit it. This is especially true because there are a lot of people on the roster that seem to not have any moments on the show. For instance, where’s Tye Dillinger? Where’s Breezango? Oh well. Here’s what went down on Smackdown this week.

WWE Smackdown Live December 19, 2017 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan Talk

There was a time when Shane said that Smackdown wasn’t going to be about the McMahon family, and well here we go, another opening where he is the center point of Smackdown. Lame.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Usos

I was surprised by this match. I didn’t realize that The Usos would get a loss here, but Shelton and Gable found a rhythm and blocked a lot of the Usos offense. I loved how well they are working together, and found a way to win, even when the champions seemed to have things in the bag. Gable and Benjamin won with a great finisher, and that’s that. Oh, and this was a non-title match.

Charlotte Flair and Naomi defeated Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan

Well, that’s the end of that. The Riott Squad were supposed to be a dominant force and guess what? They lost here. So I guess they aren’t that much of a threat? Logic gets thrown out the window here, so that’s the end for me. They aren’t very good if they can’t win. Imagine if the NWO lost all of their matches.

Dolph Ziggler quits.

I sure hope this is true.

The New Day defeated Rusev and Aiden English

50/50 booking, right? The New Day wins this match, and they were all dressed up for this one. It was ok I guess, but honestly, I’m tired of this form of booking, and people just phoning it in.

Aj Styles, Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jinder Mahal, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn

Well, here you go, a six man tag, as though Teddy Long was booking. I’m so tired of seeing these six people, and honestly, am tired of the same old stuff on Smackdown. I guess this was ok, wrestling wise it worked, but honestly, the good guys always win, and that’s really the big deal here. I mean, they win to further what story line? Jinder Mahal is buried here, the Kevin Owens and Zayn things continues, but I’m so over it.

Well there you go, the end of the line for Smackdown. There was some good wrestling in the tag division, and the women put on a good show too. But there was a lot of things missing, including the Bludgeon Brothers, Bobby Roode, and so many others. Oh well.

WWE Smackdown December 12, 2017 Results and Review Daniel Bryan Returns

Daniel Bryan Returns To The Ring on Smackdown 2017 - SRC WWE DOT COM

Daniel Bryan has returned to the ring! That’s right folks, you’re reading this correctly, Daniel Bryan was back in the ring for WWE and here’s what went down on this night of Smackdown Live from Cincinnati Ohio.

WWE Smackdown December 12, 2017 Results and Review

The opening of the show had Aj Styles talking to the Singh Brothers. The Brothers came out and said that they were behind Styles and not Jinder Mahal. Styles didn’t believe it, and out came Jinder Mahal! Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers tried to put the boots to Styles, and that opened the show. The Modern Day Maharaja still has fuel in the tank, and he may be the next big thing going into Clash of Champions.

Charlotte defeated Ruby Riott via DQ

This is a boring event for the most part. Ruby Riott is from my area so she’s automatically awesome in my book. This match ended when Riott’s cronies came in and helped Ruby out. Out came Naomi to help, and the backstage area cleared out. Oh, Natalya was on color commentary. This isn’t half bad.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

I went to take out the trash during this and missed the whole match.

Bludgeon Brothers defeated Colin Delaney and Joe Monroe

The Bludgeon Brothers buried these two jobbers.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn tried to occupy Smackdown. This was a segment that involved no wrestling really. I didn’t care about it.

Rusev and Aiden English defeated The Usos

The Usos have been booked like chumps lately. They lose to Rusev and Aiden English, which is absolutely horrendous. This is a bad showcase for The Usos, but Rusev and Aiden was great here with a fast paced tag element, and good moments. The two are great at what they do, and I had a good deal of fun.

Kevin Owens defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

This wasn’t their best match, but it was decent for a television main event. The real story here is not so much these two, but what happened during the match. The referee got knocked out and so Daniel Bryan took the ref shirt off the ref, and put it on, getting into the ring! That’s right, Daniel Bryan jumped into the ring and the crowd went nuts where he counted the 3 count for Kevin Owens! That’s right, Daniel Bryan is back in the ring!

Oh, one thing that I missed was that Aj Styles got beat down by Jinder Mahal backstage.

Now, Smackdown wasn’t half bad, but it wasn’t great either. It was ok at best, with a lot of filler that made the show seem a lot longer than it was. Not a bad night, but not a great one either.

WWE NXT April 26, 2017 Results and Review Solid Work Rates and Fighting

Bate vs. Gallagher - 3 Stars Minimum - SRC WWE.COM

NXT is supposed to be a developmental arena, and it is, but some of these shows are so much better than Smackdown and Raw. With that in mind, here is what went down on this week’s NXT showcase.

WWE NXT April 26, 2017 Results

Drew McIntyre defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas
Aleister Black defeated Kona Reeves
Nikki Cross vs. Ruby Riot
Tyler Bate defeated Jack Gallagher

WWE NXT April 26, 2017 Review

The show opened up with Nikki Cross and Ruby Riot fighting, and then getting separated. Then we went into some interesting matches.

Drew McIntyre defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas

Andrade “Cien” Almas was buried in this match. Drew beat him in a fast paced, hard hitting match that was just unfortunate for Almas. But then again, after the match, he got into a limo full of women, and they probably had a porno style romp. Man, I wish I was good looking.

Aleister Black defeated Kona Reeves

Kona Reeves put in some good offense against Black, and after Black got mad, he knocked his opponent out. And that was that.

Nikki Cross vs. Ruby Riot

This turned into a brawl, and should lead to a street fight or something. This is a great showcase for both, with is great. The two brawled around the arena.
Tyler Bate defeated Jack Gallagher

Strong style was on display here. A little slow to start, but Bate would eventually win big. Gallagher put on a good fight, and he definitely stretched Bate. I was absolutely stunned by how it turned out. Bate got worked in this one, but it was his overall strong style that would get the better of Gallagher. Gallagher is on a serious downward spiral of losses.

WWE NXT April 12, 2017 Results and Review Lorcan Deserves Respect

Drew McIntyre is Back - SRC wwe.com 

WWE NXT had a formatting reset, with a lot of attention given to new stars, new song, and new showcase of talent. This night was packed with a lot in 45 minutes, and that doesn’t mean great wrestling, or does it?

WWE NXT April 12, 2017 Results

Aleister Black defeated Corey Hollis
DIY defeated Dylan Miley and Michael Blais
Ruby Riot defeated Kimberly Frankele
Drew McIntyre defeated Oney Lorcan
Shinsuke Nakamura cannot speak English

WWE NXT April 12, 2017 Review

Aleister Black defeated Corey Hollis

Black did one kick and won. Corey Hollis, thanks for coming by.

DIY defeated Dylan Miley and Michael Blais

DIY was getting a beat down by Miley, who is a juggernaut. Michael Blais, or Michael Hayes as someone said on commentary, got beat down. He’s broken, and was broken.

Ruby Riot defeated Kimberly Frankele

A fast match with not much to write about, Riot wins, despite distraction from Sanity.

Drew McIntyre defeated Oney Lorcan

Holy crap. McIntyre and Lorcan went strong style, and Lorcan legit got busted open. I was impressed with both of these guys, as they really put on a show with hard hitting punches and kicks. Lorcan at one point was hitting Drew as hard as he could in the neck, making it severely read. At another point Drew busted Lorcan open hard style, and eventually got the win. The cameras would not show Lorcan getting stitched up in ring, and that was funny. McIntyre is awesome now, I can’t wait to see what he can do against the rest of the NXT guys.

Shinsuke Nakamura cannot speak English

Shinsuke said goodbye, and he could barely go through a promo. He needs ESL help. I will volunteer to help him, so WWE, holla at your body.

WWE NXT Takeover April 2, 2017 Results and Review Greatest Tag Match Ever

This morning I woke up at 3 am. I don’t get more than 5 hours of sleep a day. I have a hard time sleeping, and it’s wearing on me. I did get to watch NXT Takeover, and it made me wish I went to Orlando. Maybe next year, I will be able to do that. Whatever the case is, here is how this all went down.

WWE NXT Takeover April 2, 2017 Results

Sanity defeated Tye Dillinger, Kassius Ohno, Ruby Riot, and Roderick Strong
Aleister Black defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas
NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain defeted DIY and The Revival
NXT Women’s Champion Asuka defeated Ember Moon
NXT Champion Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

WWE NXT Takeover April 2, 2017 Review

The first thing that I noticed is that there were 14,000 some odd people at the Amway center. Like I said, I really felt jealous for not going. I am not usually a jealous person, but this show really made me envious of everyone there.

Sanity defeated Tye Dillinger, Kassius Ohno, Ruby Riot, and Roderick Strong

This was a very cool option. Sanity is really fun to watch. Ohno, Dillinger, Riot, and Strong threw out a lot of action. This is a great match with a lot of action. Sanity is like Bray Wyatt’s group, only more interesting to me. They put the boots to the good guys, and at the end, Killian Dame got the pin. This was awesome, just a really good match. Kassius Ohno replaced No Way Jose, and he was great, he put on a show in this one, but Sanity got the win.

Aleister Black defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas

Aleister Black reminds me of Dharma Punx, a book about Zen. It gave me an idea about writing a new book about Zen Buddhism and skateboarding. Black is cool, Almas looks like he is miserable, but he’s doing his job. Black won with a kick called the Black Mass, and that’s it. I like Black’s style, but this isn’t that grand, just yet.

NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain defeated DIY and The Revival

I wasn’t expecting much out of this match, and then things started to pick up. Holy crap this is a 5 star classic if you ask me. The tag team champions took on 4 guys basically, because they teamed up at times. There was so much to this, so many spots, so many great moments. The Authors of Pain looked strong as they won this match. They were able to eliminate DIY and The Revival, but not without taking some serious damage, going through a table, and so much more. This was amazing, just amazing, wow. Favorite spot was the superplex off the top rope into 4 of the team members. Just wow.

NXT Women’s Champion Asuka defeated Ember Moon

This started with a frenetic pace. Ember Moon can hang with Asuka. Asuka was able to throw down a lot, don’t get me wrong, she was putting the boots to Moon, but Moon was able to throw out so many pieces of offense, it was amazing. I loved it. I loved how well she worked, but alas, she did not win. Asuka won, but only after one hell of a battle. This was a great match.

NXT Champion Bobby Roode defeated Shinsuke Nakamura

What a boring match. Shinsuke Nakamura is not a good match for Roode. Roode was boring. He won this match and it was fun. Nakamura lost this one, and he threw out some of the same old push. I didn’t like this match, and that was that.
