Smackdown Live April 10, 2018 Results and Review

Daniel Bryan Flies - src WWE 

Smackdown after Wrestlemania should be good, right? Well, I don’t know, maybe? It’s only an hour or so show, not 2 hours as some people think, so let’s discuss how it went down. I’m a little jaded, I’ve seen 30 some odd hours of wrestling, including all independent shows, ROH, and so much more. With that in mind, let’s take into consideration the following night of Smackdown.

Smackdown Live April 10, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon announced Paige as the New General Manager for Smackdown Live.

I didn’t mind this at all. It was ok. I guess people love Paige, and since she retired, they love her even more. I’m indifferent.

The Usos defeated The New Day

The Usos threw down another great match against The New Day. It was a good match with a lot of back and forth. I didn’t hate this one, and I didn’t think it was that good either. It had some bright spots, but it’s painfully obvious that the New Day may have run their course and it’s time to give these guys a singles push on their own. The Usos are great, fast, and remind me of the GOD in NJPW only smaller.

Naomi defeated Natalya

Not bad, a good overall match that was fun to watch. This was fast paced, had a few counters, and really put together a swift women’s match that is somewhat forgettable, but not too bad. I liked it enough.

Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair for the Women’s Championship

After Peyton Royce and Billie Kay showed up and said they are taking over, and beat up Flair, out came Carmella. Carmella threw down her Money In The Bank Briefcase and hit a super kick on Flair and pinned her. She won the title, without the help of Ellsworth this time, and it was a fun thing to see. Carmella is your new champion, and the crowd went nuts for it. Peyton Royce and Billie Kay are different now, I think they may have breast implants, but hey, what do I know?

Randy Orton defeated Bobby Roode and Rusev

Oh my lord this again? Randy Orton is in cruise control, going through the motions of being a wrestler and not caring. Roode is good, but it’s obvious that he needs a better wrestler to work with. Jinder Mahal was at ringside and the winner would get a shot at Backlash. I was hoping for Roode to win, but nope, Orton won this match and that was that. I can’t say too much about this match, as it wasn’t my favorite, but it was adequate to move the night forward I guess. Rusev Day is so over, and yet the WWE doesn’t want to push him, I don’t know why.

Aj Styles vs. Daniel Bryan ended in a no Contest

The next match was interesting, and it featured Daniel Bryan and Aj Styles doing what they did best. They were able to get through a lot of motions and focused on stellar back and forth wrestling. It was a better match than the Nakamura match at Wrestlemania, at least for what it was. Then out came Shinsuke Nakamura and hit Bryan and Styles with a knee, and then low blowed Styles. That was the end, Nakamura looking tall, and that’s that.

Smackdown was ok. It was short, which I liked, but the whole thing just seemed phoned in. I wonder where guys like Ziggler, Tye Dillinger, and so many others were. Oh well, I guess that’s the end of the week of wrestling, oh no, here’ comes 205 Live, Ring Of Honor, and Joey Janela’s reviews that I have to write still. Oh well. This was ok at best.

WWE Wrestlemania 34 Results and Review

Ronda Rousey at WM 34 - src wwe 

Welcome to New Orleans and the latest edition of WWE Wrestlemania, this time there were 78,133 people in the building and the card was stacked from top to bottom. This seemed to go 9 or 10 hours, but it was only around 7 hours. If you saw it, then you may wonder what my thoughts are and if you didn’t see it, you may want to know what my thoughts are anyways because you read this diatribe of mine.

WWE Wrestlemania 34 Results and Review

Matt Hardy won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

This was a cluster of a match but it ended well enough. There were some highlights, including Mojo getting Zack Ryder out, and lots of eliminations, until it was Matt Hardy that won the match. He would win thanks to the lights going out and Bray Wyatt showing up to befriend him. The two are now WOKEN together!

Cedric Alexander defeated Mustafa Ali for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

I love these two, but I feel that I’ve seen this match happen many times before. It was good, but in 12 minutes, there’s not much that could be told about it, so I guess it was ok at best. I have seen these two do this match before, many times it seems.

Naomi won the Women’s Battle Royal

This was under 10 minutes and was somewhat boring. Naomi was great at the end after Bayley eliminated Sasha Banks, and would become the big winner here. It was not bad, but it was far from good either. Under 10 minutes, that’s the revolution folks.

Seth Rollins defeated The Miz and Finn Balor in a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship

A good back and forth match with some impressive moments from The Miz. The Miz wasn’t a slouch here, he had some great momentum to disrupt the better wrestlers. I was impressed by his work here, and of course Balor and Rollins were great as usual. Lots of broken pinfall attempts, lots of counters and lots of fun to see in this match.

Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka

In only 13 minutes, Asuka’s streak was broken by Charlotte Flair. The two wrestled a good match, but it was painfully obvious that they were getting rushed. It was a hard hitting affair, with Asuka’s chest turning bright red and blistered after some heavy chops from Charlotte. Asuka worked on the arm of charlotte, but it wasn’t enough, she put on the Figure 8 and made it Asuka tap out. Hell of a match for only being 13 minutes.

Jinder Mahal defeated Rusev, Bobby Roode, and Randy Orton for the United States Championship

Wow, in just 8 minutes and some change Jinder Mahal was able to capture the United States Championship, and well, the modern day Maharaja continues to win, and it baffles many. This was a fast match, and it featured a lot of quick moments, with distractions and Jinder Mahal getting the pinfall victory.

Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey defeated Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

This was by far the most entertaining 20 some odd minutes of professional wrestling that I’ve seen a rookie put on ever. Ronda Rousey is amazing, and she put on a show, and it was great to see her work. I am so proud of her, and love her. She is truly an amazing woman, and was able to get the wrestling thing down well, and made Stephanie McMahon tap out with relative ease. I loved it. I cannot say enough about how great this match was.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Usos and The New Day in the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship Match

The teams only had about 5 minutes to work, so the match didn’t get too hot, and it was dead when the Bludgeon Brothers won. Oh well.

The Undertaker defeated John Cena

In 3 Minutes, John Cena was buried. But first out came Elias and got a beat down for his troubles. The Undertaker looks old, I don’t want to see him wrestle anymore.

Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn

This was better than I thought and no one turned on each other. The match was 15 minutes long and it was a fun back and forth match with Daniel Bryan eventually getting the hot tag and making Zayn tap out. The match was fun, and I loved seeing Daniel Bryan back in action.

Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss for the WWE Raw Championship

Holy crap, Nia Jax put the boots to Alexa Bliss. Bliss did a great deal of offense, however, but this time around it was Nia Jax’s night and she was able to get the pinfall after some great offense overall.

Aj Styles defeated Shinsuke Nakamura in the WWE Championship Match

A 20 minute boring and methodical match ensued here. This was not nearly as good as their New Japan fight, and it sufficed in many ways to be a slow moving, well plotted match for what it was. However, after the match Nakamura low blowed Styles and became a bad guy. Ok. The match was not great.

Braun Strowman and Nicholas defeated Cesaro and Sheamus for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship

In 4 minutes, Braun Strowman did quick work of the BAR. He picked a kid from the audience to be his partner, and that was that.

Brock Lesnar defeated Roman Reigns in the WWE Universal Championship match

What a load of crap. Lesnar was blown up, he looked tired and like he didn’t care. Roman carried Broke many times, and even got the brunt of Lesnar being too tired to work, and made him look great. However, at one point Lesnar busted open Reigns the hard way with his elbow, and then threw down another F5, 6 in total, and pinned Reigns to win the match. I’m so sick of Lesnar. He wins, oh well.

Overall, Wrestlemania was a fun show to watch, even if it was a little long. The Rousey match was my favorite and I loved her even more for getting out there and being great. Other than that, Flair and Asuka was good, and so was the Nia Jax match. Other than that, this was a mediocre showcase, and I’m glad I didn’t go to New Orleans. But I will be in Chicago twice this year for WWE and All In shows.

WWE Smackdown Live February 27, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Just Got B-ER

Styles Sent Through A Table - SRC wwe dot com

From the Staples Center in Los Angeles came Smackdown Live for February 27, 2018 and it was most likely a sell out crowd. I miss Los Angeles. I went to several events for Smackdown, and once I paid 400 dollars to sit third row. Today, however, I saw this show on HULU since I didn’t have a few hundred dollars to fly out to see the show.

WWE Smackdown Live February 27, 2018 Results and Review

Moving forward to the night, we first got John Cena come through and demand a shot at something for Wrestlemania. That prompted Shane McMahon to show up and say, ok, you can go to the main event of Wrestlemania if you win two matches. The first which would occur tonight. More on that later.

Baron Corbin defeated Sami Zayn

This wasn’t half bad of a match, but it also wasn’t great. Baron Corbin was able to get a great deal of offense, and Sami Zayn wasn’t laying down either. A good back and forth television match with a slight distraction that would lead to the End of Days and that was the end of Zayn. Dolph Ziggler kicked Kevin Owens at ringside, causing the distraction.

In the middle of this match, there was a segment between Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon in which Bryan walked out, after saying he just is going to go home, and McMahon allowed it, while eating popcorn. Ok, well that’s that.

Ruby Riott defeated Naomi

I was impressed with this match a great deal. Ruby Riott was really good at playing up the heel role here, but not just that, she was in sync with Naomi. Naomi playing the good girl role was great, but it was Riott that impressed me with some good timing, counters, and the eventual win on this match. Naomi is fun to watch, but it was Riott’s turn for the win, and that was kind of cool to see.

The Usos and The New Day Again Talked

This was given too much time. The Usos and The New Day just talked, and then the Bludgeon Brothers came out, but there was no pay off, I don’t know what that was all about.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Aiden English

Rusev Day Chants were going crazy here, but it was to no avail. Shinsuke Nakamura would win this one after mopping the floor with Aiden English. Even though Rusev was able to knock him down outside, it was to no avail, English was no match for Nakamura.

John Cena defeated Aj Styles

These two are great together in the ring, and they’ve had barn burners before. This wasn’t one of them. Styles was able to go through a lot of the motions, but it was Cena that would eventually get the win, and that is that. Super Cena is coming back for a little bit, but there is no chance that he wins at Fastlane, and Styles gets pinned yet again. He will now have to defend his title in a six pack challenge, and that should be interesting to map out overall.

That’s it. That’s all that happened on Smackdown. It’s a B show that seems like an afterthought.

Once again, where was Tye Dillinger? Where was the tag division? Where was anyone really, this was a lousy show with a lot of wasted moments where you could’ve had more wrestling if you ask me.

WWE Smackdown Live January 2, 2018 Results and Review The McMahon Hour Continues

Only Image From WWE dot com 

I didn’t want to watch Smackdown. I really didn’t. Why should I? I could have told you everything that was going to happen, and it’s hard to suspend disbelief when the show seems to telegraphed. But you know what, let’s talk about it anyways.

WWE Smackdown Live January 2, 2018 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan started the show talking, alongside AJ Styles. That’s it. This was boring to me, but you know what, it’s what I expect now. I just expect being bored by the opening elements. It’s dumb, but it happens, just like Southpark said it would happen.

The Usos defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was an ok match, but there was a big problem. You see, the problem was that you will find Benjamin and Gable would win the titles midway through this match. However, both USOS were complaining and the referees, for the first time ever, went to instant replay and figured out that the USOS were doing twin magic! I hate it. I hated this, and it’s stupid. The Usos would win, simple as that.

The Bludgeon Brothers vs. Breezango

This didn’t go very well. The Brothers beat them down before the bell rang, and out came The Ascension, only to get buried. The arena was as quiet as can be for a wrestling event not in Japan.

Xavier Woods defeated Aiden English

This was a fun back and forth match, and while it wasn’t going to be Aiden English’s night, it was fun to see him fight Woods. Rusev is way over, but he wasn’t in the tournament. English pulled off the win and Brooks threw down some great moves, including the big elbow off the top which would get him the big win here. English loses, and that’s the end of this.

Riott Squad defeated Carmella, Natalya, and Tamina

This was boring to me. The Riott Squad already lost. So why are they cutting promos and winning now? I’m honestly at a loss. Afterwards the women on the roster brawled, and that was that. I don’t see the big deal with them, they aren’t dominant at all.

Sami Zayn defeated Aj Styles

This was a terrible match, if you ask me. Styles always does well, but with Owens on the outside, Bryan on the outside, and McMahon on the outside was not great. It’s sad that this story is so terrible. I do like Bryan going heel, but honestly, Styles isn’t getting any favors losing every week, and he loses here thanks to a distraction, yet again.

Anyways, this is a terrible forward progression, and Smackdown is a B show compared to Raw if you ask me. It’s just dumb. It set up a three way match for the Rumble with Aj Styles versus Zayn and Owens. It’s nothing grand, and that’s the end.

Want to know why Smackdown is the B Show?

Well, on WWE.com, you didn’t get any pictures updated from the show, meanwhile Raw had hundreds of photographs. Funny how that is.

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 Live November 28, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire Round Two

src wwe dot com

Well, if Raw felt like 9 hours long, this show felt like at least 4 hours long. So much so that I didn’t want to finish it, but had to because this site is the longest running episodic blog on pro wrestling. There was even a time when this site was bigger than the Jim Ross blog! Those were the salad days, but tonight, let’s discuss yesterday’s Smackdown, which was another dumpster fire of stuff to discuss.

WWE Smackdown Live November 28, 2017 Results and Review

Remember when Shane McMahon said that the Smackdown show wasn’t going to be about the general managers and the McMahon’s? He lied. Here he is starting the show and bringing out Daniel Bryan. The two jib jab about how Zayn and Owens weren’t fired, when they should’ve been fired, and that led them to create a match for later on. They said that the main event would be Kevin Owens against Randy Orton in a NO DQ match, with Sami Zayn barred from ringside. Then the show continued into the wrestling portion, which, well, was not that great.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was a good match, and the New Day is always fun to watch. Big E came out with pancakes and syrup for the Usos, whom were at ringside. That was gross. The match was your standard back and forth, with a lot of reversals, high spots, and more. It wasn’t great, but it didn’t suck. I am tired of the New Day by now, and am just ready for them to stop doing what they are doing and move on to literally anything else. Benjamin and Gable did a great back and forth, fast tag quick match overall, but honestly, this just felt empty at the end. The New Day would get the win with their finish, and that was that.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Hype Bros

This was a burial. After the match, Mojo turned on Zack Ryder and that was that. The end of the Hype Bros, and the continued success of the Bludgeon Brothers.

Aj Styles defeated The Singh Brothers in a Handicap Match

Before the match started, The Modern Day Maharaja, Jinder Mahal came in and beat the socks off Styles. I like Jinder, let’s get more Jinder! Don’t hinder the Jinder! Jinder Mahal throws some wicked offense here, and then lets the Singh Brothers clean up. Aj Styles eventually got his bearings and then knocked out the Singh Brothers and delivered a top rope Styles Clash! This was awesome! Great finish, and that’s that. After the match Jinder Mahal beat up his cronies, and then walked away. Styles may have met his match for the big PPV coming up.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Natalya, and Naomi

Well, the new girls got in the ring on this show, and was able to knock out the roster’s best women, and that was that. They were ok, faster and younger than the established stars, and won overall. This was entertaining, but it was a quick match, so on that note, it was a highlight, but nothing to write home about I guess.

Kevin Owens defeated Randy Orton in a NO DQ Match

And away we go, a fight. This was a fist fight and a brawl with Kevin Owens getting a huge beat down for the most part. Orton was showcasing that he was mad, and he was hitting Owens with heavy barreled shots until Owens got a kendo stick and started to fight back. The match went up the ramp and out came Sami Zayn and started to beat down the Viper with a chair and caused him to lose the momentum of the match. Owens would get the big win after a frog splash and that was the end of the show!

There you have it. Smackdown was not half bad, but it wasn’t great either. There is a lot of different people on this roster and yet only a few people were showcased. I won’t drill down names, but it’s sad to see such little content for a Smackdown show that was supposed to be a better show than Raw. This sucked. It felt longer than it should be for sure.

WWE Smackdown Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review The McMahon Hour

Smackdown Turned Into A Melee - Source WWE DOT COM

Just like the Raw brand has been dissolved into another showcase of the McMahon show, the second brand, the B brand, Smackdown is now just about the McMahons as well. Shane McMahon started the show and brought down Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. He was going to fire them, but instead of doing that, out came Daniel Bryan, and guess what? The night of Smackdown was a pretty bad show, but not for lack of trying, right? Let’s discuss how this all went down a little further, and see why it’s the B show yet again.

WWE Smackdown Live November 21, 2017 Results and Review

As stated above, Shane McMahon showed up and was going to fire Zayn and Owens for what they did at Survivor Series, interfering in the main event. Daniel Bryan said that they would have to face off against The New Day in a Lumber Jack match, that would feature the entire Smackdown roster. This progressed into a night of lackluster wrestling, with a few highlights, and here we go.

Shelton Benjamin defeated Jey Uso

I never knew that they spelled Jey’s name that way. Whatever. This was a decent match, Shelton is still good in the ring, and the Usos are always fast and in charge. This time around, it was Pay Dirt that would level the playing field, and Jey would go down in defeat. Not a bad match, but did nothing for me other than entertain for a few minutes.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Hype Bros

This was awful. The Bludgeon Brothers look terrible, and they buried The Hype Bros. There’s nothing else to say about this.

Jinder Mahal attacked Aj Styles

AJ Styles came out to the ring to talk, and was jumped by the Singh Brothers and Jinder. This will set up next week’s handicap match between Styles and the Singh Brothers, and set up the main event for Clash of the Champions, or Night of Champions, or whatever it is, with Jinder and Styles going at it for the Smackdown title.

Ruby Riot, Liv Morgan, and Sarah Logan showed up backstage to beat up a bunch of women, but before that they interrupted the Title match between Charlotte Flair and Natalya. They beat everyone up backstage and in the ring and that’s that.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The New Day in a Lumberjack Match

Not a terrible match, but not a great one either. There was a lot of back and forth here, and a good play on lumberjack thing with the roster beating up the duo, and then throwing them back into the ring. The whole thing broke down on an accident, and the roster started brawling, and distracted the New Day long enough for Owens and Zayn to win. Owens then ran away, and Zayn got beat up by the New Day.

Backstage, Owens was told that he would face off against Randy Orton next week, and that was the end of the show.

Not a terrible show, by not a great one either. With so many people on the roster, you would think that we would get better matches, and more focus on the wrestling aspect. It was funny to see Owens and Zayn backstage trying to get people to be on their side, and of course only Rusev and Aiden English had a little bit of a note of sympathy, not bad. Not a night of wrestling you should go out of your way to see, that’s for sure.

WWE Smackdown Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review This Is The B Show

How Can Kevin Owens Still Be Fat? - SRC wwe dot com 

Live from Denver, Colorado the B show has finally begun to be that lack luster. I kid you not. This thing was a heaping pile of dog…never mind. This is probably one of the worst shows that WWE has thrown together in a while, and there’s a lot of reasons why, but let’s talk about what went down.

WWE Smackdown Live October 3, 2017 Results and Review

Jinder mahal beat up Shinsuke Nakamura

Nakamura is horrendous on the mic. He doesn’t speak English well, and it’s forcing him to push out an element he doesn’t need. Give him a mouth piece, or have him stay quiet like Muta. If you don’t know who Muta is, then you’re too young for this site, I think. Jinder Mahal showed up and beat up Nakamura, but Nakamura fought the Singh Brothers etc, but the numbers game was too much. I liked this, and I hope Jinder Mahal keeps the title. I like his shirt.

Natalya and Carmella defeated Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch

The divas revolution? Eh? This was a short match that only served to further the heels getting wins. Flair and Lynch are wasted talents in this match, and are nothing but punching bags for the champion and the money in the bank briefcase holder. It’s cool that James Ellsworth still has a job though, what a way to make a living.

Bobby Roode defeated Mike Kanellis

Well, well, Roode buries the new guy. Not bad. Not good, but rather, Terrible. Dolph Ziggler came out to bother Roode, but meh, this was dumb.

The Usos Cut A Promo

I like The Usos but they are going to lose this weekend. The New Day has numbers, and that’s it.

Tye Dillinger defeated Baron Corbin

This was a boring match and a waste of Tye Dillinger’s talent. He wins with a distraction roll up and that’s it. He walks away, and that’s the end. Corbin has an Aj Styles promo cut on him, and all I can think of is the sound byte where he says, “Gay People?”.

Cancer Survivors Partnership

I won’t talk bad about this.

Randy Orton defeated Aiden English

Another burial folks, there’s nothing to this, just burying people for the sake of it. Oh well. RKO and the win.

Kevin Owens Beat Up Shane McMahon

Kevin Owens beat up Shane McMahon in the lobby of the arena, throwing him threw a table. Then when Shane came back down to the ring, Kevin Owens beat him up some more. That’s it. End of show.

This was an abysmal show of burials, and lackluster matches. This felt like it was 3 hours long, but honestly, it wasn’t. It’s a lackluster show and definitely the B squad of the WWE right now. This was bad. Just all around bad.

WWE Smackdown Live September 5, 2017 Results and Review The Longest 2 Hours Ever

Dolph Ziggler Was Lame On Smackdown - SRC WWE DOT COM

I had a lot of work to do before I could watch this show. I did manage to get my work done, and I sat through what seemed like the longest 2 hours of wrestling. I wanted to bang my head against the wall, and the highlight for me was simple, my other half asked me, “Shane McMahon looks roided out, and he’s getting botox too”, and that’s that. Hilarious.

WWE Smackdown Live September 5, 2017 Results and Review

Shane McMahon and Kevin Owens Fought Each Other.

The opening was supposed to be the women’s match, but instead, Owens came out and started to talk on the mic about Shane McMahon. Well, before that, he said he would be the special guest referee. But that didn’t happen. McMahon and Owens jabbed on the mic, and then the two started brawling. McMahon vs. Owens will occur, and I’m not happy about it. What a waste of talent.

Natalya defeated Carmella

A roll up. That’s what happened after James Ellsworth distracted things by dropping the Money In The Bank Briefcase. That led Carmella to get on the mic and yell at him, and said they were finish. He was left crying. Natalya is good, but in this match, she wasn’t that great. A roll up? Really? Sigh.

Aiden English defeated Sami Zayn

Oh man, another roll up! What a waste of both talents. I loved the Vaudevillains, and when I saw them at NXT Takeover, I thought for sure they would get a big push in the main event, but alas, nope.

Shane McMahon was suspended indefinitely.

This was dumb. McMahon is suspended, oh well. Vince McMahon will be on Smackdown next week, in Las Vegas!

Baron Corbin defeated Tye Dillinger

This was a lousy match. Tye Dillinger didn’t come out with his full entrance. Not only that, Corbin was loose and sloppy with his moves. Aj Styles was on commentary, and I think that Corbin is supposed to be next fighting him for the title, but of course, he is not going to get that match until Dilllinger gets a shot next week. This was a boring match, and the Corbin train is done for me.

Carmella Kissed James Ellsworth

Ellsworth must’ve loved this. I would have killed to be in that position, and that’s rad. Oh and he got slapped. But he also got one hell of a kiss, which is what I wish I could get from Carmella. Just saying.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Randy Orton

Throughout the night we had vignettes from the two, and they were awkward and terrible. This match wasn’t half bad, but it also wasn’t great. Jinder was watching on, and he cut a promo backstage. Nakamura is great, but only when he’s with good talent, and Orton was up to par. Orton was phoning it in as usual, and after some back and forth, it was Nakamura that got the big win.

The end, right? Yeah, this was a lousy show. Oh! Oh!

Dolph ZIggler Came Out

He was supposed to be doing a new gimmick. Instead he cut a heel promo and then walked away. It’s time for him to get fired. This was a waste.

In this 2 hour show, we had 2 roll ups, a lousy finish with Dillinger, and Nakamura beating Orton to go on to face Jinder Mahal again. Sigh. Just Sigh, this was a terrible night of wrestling, if you can call it that. At least Raw had some good wrestling. Tonight, it wasn’t grand, it just wasn’t grand at all.

WWE Smackdown Live August 8, 2017 Results and Review This Is The Best They Can Give?

Mahal Vs Orton - SRC Wwe.com

People sometimes tell me that Smackdown is the better show. They are wrong. There is no better show. This show may have started as something grand back when the brand split was first announced. But now? It’s nothing more than a homogenized wrestling show that is heavy on talking, and light on wrestling. It’s not as bad as Raw, but it’s still bad. There are moments of joy, though, and perhaps that’s the saving grace of Smackdown’s shows. August 8, 2017 the show was from Canada yet again, and the fans weren’t booing nearly as bad as Raw, but you also didn’t get the same lame ass promos being cut. I watched this directly after Raw, which is something worth noting.

WWE Smackdown Live August 8, 2017 Results and Review

John Cena Cut A Bad Promo

This was one of the worst promos I’ve ever heard. Cena is usually ok on the mic. I miss the times when he was rapping. Now he just is tired, and boring. Corbin came out, and the two would talk about how they are going to fight, etc. I don’t know, Cena insulted Corbin and a match was set for the two at Summerslam. I don’t care about either guy. You know what will happen? John Cena will defeat Baron Corbin, and Corbin will cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase on Shinsuke Nakamura in the main event at Summerslam.

The Usos defeated Sami Zayn and Tye Dillinger

Did you see this going any other way? Dillinger loses again. The Usos win, and they are perhaps the best in the industry right now. I’d love to see the Young Bucks versus The Usos, that would set a huge fire under the feet of all tag teams if you ask me. I loved this match, although seeing Zayn and Dillinger buried makes me wonder why even bring them to the main roster?

Charlotte Flair defeated Lana

A burial. Lana can not lace the boots of Flair. Flair is wasted here. Please WWE, give her better competition, perhaps move her back to Raw.

Shane McMahon Bored Me To Tears

Ugh. This was boring. AJ Styles and Kevin Owens talked, and McMahon talked, and then it led to Shane getting kicked. Oh well. It was nice to see Owens mention that McMahon has screwed people in the past. That makes me want to watch Survivor Series 1998, to be honest. I may watch it again, as it was a stellar event if I do remember. Deadly Game Survivor Series, great stuff.

Twin Peaks or Fashion Peaks

This was a cool segment. Nothing to complain about here.

Carmella defeated Naomi

Another burial. This wasn’t half bad. Not that good either. Carmella got the win, and really didn’t progress much of a story. Where was Natalya? Where was Becky? Women’s revolution, huh? Meh.

Randy Orton defeated Jinder Mahal in a grudge match

Do you really want me to talk about this? I didn't even want to see it. Rusev showed up on the ramp with a kick to Orton and the show ended. No more Smackdown, please.

WWE Smackdown Live March 21, 2017 Results and Review Aj Styles Gets Buried

This Is How You Bury Your Talent - SRC WWE.COM

WWE Smackdown Live continually gets praised. People think it’s a better show than Monday Night Raw, and you know what?

They are damn wrong.

If this is better, then you are an idiot. You’re just an idiot. This is not better, it’s actually a lot worse, and there’s a few reasons why. Let’s look at this b.s.

WWE Smackdown Live March 21, 2017 Results

The Usos defeated American Alpha for the World Tag Team Titles

Randy Orton defeated Baron Corbin
Bray Wyatt almost Blew Randy Orton
John Cena defeated Fandango
Carmella vs. Becky Lynch went to a no contest
Aj Styles was buried by Shane McMahon

WWE Smackdown Live March 21, 2017 Review

Aj Styles sat around the parking lot waiting for Shane McMahon, hoping he could again beat him up. He started the show in ring to talk. TO TALK! The same format as Raw, and the parody South Park did in the past.

The Usos defeated American Alpha for the World Tag Team Titles

Have you ever eaten a mayonnaise sandwich on white bread? That’s what American Alpha is like. The crowd was dying most of the time, and they perked up for The Usos. The Usos are over, but not as over as Heath Slater and Rhyno. The Tag Titles changed hands here in a good overall match. American Alpha seem like the Steiner’s at times, but they lack that charisma that the brothers had. The Usos won this match, and the tag team titles are an afterthought in this opener from Smackdown.
Randy Orton defeated Baron Corbin

Randy Orton was able to win a good back and forth match with Baron Corbin. This wasn’t a burial, mind you, it was a good match, with Dean Ambrose distracting Corbin in this one. It wasn’t grand, but hey, it was workable none the less.

Bray Wyatt almost Blew Randy Orton

Bray Wyatt kidnapped Randy Orton, then got on his knees as though he was going to blow the guy, and sung to him. B.S.

John Cena defeated Fandango

John Cena and Nikki Bella buried Breezdango. I kid you not. Tyler Breeze came out dressed like Nikki, the real Nikki came out and then buried him, while Cena buried Fandango. I wish this was an exaggeration. It’s not. This really happened.

Carmella vs. Becky Lynch went to a no contest

The match barely went a minute or two. The best part here was the melee of women that ensued, all of the women coming out to fight. But that wasn’t the best part of it, the best was Becky Lynch coming off the top rope and hitting James Ellsworth with a missile dropkick. That was awesome! I marked out huge.

Aj Styles was buried by Shane McMahon

The end of the show featured Aj Styles getting buried by Shane McMahon. I kid you not. Aj Styles got hit with a flurry of slaps and random punches, only to get throw out of the ring and beaten up. Then Shane went to the top rope and drove Styles through a table. If this is not a burial, you don’t know what it means to be buried.

Shane McMahon is NOT a wrestler. Aj Styles went from headlining, being the champion, to basically getting buried by a non-wrestler, son of the owner. What a load of crap. This is supposed to get me excited about Wrestlemania? Lame. Absolutely lame.

Smackdown is not the B show, it’s the C or D show of the WWE line up. What a garbage showcase.

Brown Shoeman Looks Weak Against Shane McMahon

Brown Shoeman Is Weak Versus Shane McMahon

This past week on Raw, Brown Shoeman was in the ring and caught a beat down from Shane McMahon, as he was taken out of the ring. Now, the logic of this is absolutely stupid.

Brown Shoeman is Wreddit’s poster child. They love him. He can do no wrong. I got called a stupid idiot on that board so much, I finally quit and walked away. So much so that I’m now writing all my lame ass opinions on this blog, since the internet wrestling community doesn’t really like me, like the rest of the world.

There’s a reason why I’m a loner with no friends, but let’s get back on topic.

Brown Shoeman has been booked to be a monster, no problem. However, when he gets tossed out of the ring by Shane McMahon, a non-wrestler, he looks weak. He should be the “monster”, right? Not the guy that can easily be taken out by a few shots, and then out you go buddy.

I found that to be weak.

All monsters will eventually get buried. Mark my words people, Brown Shoeman will get buried sooner than later, just like all the monsters that the WWE has tried to create beforehand. At one point or another burials occur, and it’s going to be great for me to see it happen, especially after Reddit’s wrestling area basically threw me out.

Sometimes I wish I had friends that liked wrestling, instead of just writing this blog that no one reads. Perhaps a podcast, but then again, it’s a lonely life for people without a popular opinion, isn’t it?

So here you go, if you're going to buy WWE crap, you can do so by clicking here and helping this blog start a podcast. If not, oh well.

WWE Smackdown Live August 23, 2016 Results: Ziggler Has To be Done Now

The Once and Future King of WWE In My Book 

One of the coolest things about having Hulu is that you can watch the full broadcast of Smackdown Live. That’s more than I can say about WWE Raw. However, Raw sucks compared to the work that is being put into Smackdown right now. So here we go, a few notes and things from the broadcast of Smackdown Live that was done this past Tuesday.

WWE Smackdown Live August 23, 2016 Results

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan unveiled the SmackDown Women’s and Tag Team Championships
Becky Lynch def. Alexa Bliss
The Usos def. The Ascension in a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Tournament Match
Bryan made a match between AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler with major Backlash implications
Carmella ambushed Nikki Bella’s return to SmackDown Live
Bray Wyatt began to prey on The Viper
American Alpha def. Breezango in a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Tournament Match
AJ Styles def. Dolph Ziggler

WWE Smackdown Live August 23, 2016 Review

Not that you need me to say it again, but I don’t run down the full card, I just talk about the things I recall and remember. I don’t take notes anymore, because no one cares about long winded trash talk that I can throwdown, obviously.

Becky Lynch def. Alexa Bliss

I was in the supermarket and found that Alexa Bliss was on the cover of Women’s Fitness, which is rad. But then why would you have her lose here? I don’t know why, but what I do know is that Alexa Bliss loses to Becky Lynch, even though Lynch has been on a downward spiral in the women’s division. I’m sure the Feminazis on twitter are going to be mad that this match wasn’t the main event of Smackdown. A quick match with a boring finish.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Heath Slater Steals The Show Again

Heath Slater is gold. He has the fans behind him, and this time around he gets another chance of being a Smackdown roster member. How is he going to have to do it? Well, he had to find a tag team partner tonight and in order to get a contract, he will need to win the tag team tournament with his partner. Through the night he was shown trying to convince people to team with him. Of course, he couldn’t find anyone, until out of nowhere comes Rhyno! Heath Slater and Rhyno are a team and if Slater can win the tag team tournament, he’ll get a Smackdown contract.

Randy Orton looked like a chump

Randy Orton got punked out by Bray Wyatt. The same Bray Wyatt that loses every feud. You know, the guy that has been injured so many times, it’s starting to be funny. Orton looked like a chump. Who cares.

Aj Styles BURIED Dolph Ziggler

JBL said it best when he said that Ziggler can’t win the big matches. Well here he had a chance to get another shot at the Dean Ambrose title, and he couldn’t get the job done. Aj Styles put on a clinic against Ziggler, and was able to pin him after a lot of action. Ambrose was on commentary, and he was boring. He isn’t a “lunatic” anymore. Stone Cold was right, he’s resting on his laurels, it’s stupid and he sucks. He’s a boring champion. Aj Styles will make the championship mean something if he wins.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Ziggler is done in my book.

Final Notes on Smackdown

The night wasn’t that great. Smackdown is better than Raw, no doubt. But how much better? Not by much on this night. There’s a new women’s title, which looks dumb, and new tag titles which aren’t half bad. Overall, though, Smackdown flew by because it’s a 2 hour show and they pack in a lot of wrestling. I am looking forward to the Brock Lesnar versus Shane McMahon match, though. That was set up to be grand.

WWE Payback 2016 Predictions

Ryback versus Kalisto (WWE U.S. Championship)

This is a match that should see a lot of commentary on how small Kalisto is against the big guy. Look to see Ryback win this one, get the title and get a good run against all comers. In fact, I wouldn't put it past WWE to put in Apollo Crews in a feud with Ryback as two big guys going at it is a Vinnie Mac wet dream. 

Winner: Ryback for the U.S. Championship 

Vince McMahon Announces Who Controls WWE 

Look at Vince to state that at the next Pay Per View, Team Authority will face Team Shane winner will get control over the show. 

Winner: No One, Setting Up A Match For Next Pay Per view

Charlotte vs. Natalya (WWE Women's Championship)

I don't think that Bret and Flair can get too physical. Hart has stated that he can't really do a lot of bumps, so if there is any interaction, look for Flair to get hit hard on this one, and the unpopular solution of Natalya winning via disqualification and Charlotte once again not losing the belt. 

Winner: Natalya via DQ

Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens

I honestly think that this is going to be a brawl, and it won't end with a finish. What it's going to do is simple, it's going to go quite a while, but double dq or double countout with this leading to a serious second match with weapons, ladders, or something else. Last man standing most likely. This is a money feud, there will not be a definitive winner here, in my opinion. 

Winner: No Winner, Double Countout or DQ

The Miz vs. Cesaro (Intercontinental Championship)

The Miz will put on a good match, Cesaro will beat the crap out of him, but The Miz will retain the title after the Skull Crushing Finale. 

Winner: The Miz

Chris Jericho vs. Dean Ambrose

Look for Jericho to win this one, and BURY Dean Ambrose. Then get Jericho into a feud with Roman Reigns as his last major feud before retiring for good. 

Winner: Chris Jericho 

Baron Corbin vs. Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler is enhancement talent, nothing more at this point. Ziggler is going to put on a showcase of wrestling, but will most likely lose this one yet again. Look for Baron Corbin to look strong yet again. 

Winner: Baron Corbin 

Enzo and Cass vs. The Vaudevillains 

In this final match in the tag team title tournament, look for The Vaudevillains to win big here. I think Enzo and Cass are great, but their time is not now, and they will end up losing this one, setting up a return of Blue Pants and Carmela down the line. But in this match, The Realest Guys in the room will go down to the throwback tag team of The Vaudevillains. 

Winner: The Vaudevillains 

Roman Reigns vs. Aj Styles (WWE Championship)

Here it is, the match you'd never think you'd see since Aj Styles was so loyal to TNA. Well, while a lot of people are hoping for Bullet Club to help Aj Styles win the big one, I think it's going to be Roman Reigns getting the victory. If by chance Aj does win, it will be by disqualification, and it will lead to him getting a rematch. 

Winner: Roman Reigns

The Wild Card Bullets 

No pun intended here. What will happen other than the aforementioned matches? Watch out for: 

• The Bullet Club and Finn Balor showing up to beat up Aj Styles. 
• Look out for a Roman Reigns heel turn by aligning with The Bullet Club and Balor. 
• Watch out for the Wyatt Family!

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/26/2016 Results and Review Shane Still Runs The Show

Again, yes again, Shane McMahon is in charge. Why even have the Hell In A Cell match? This logic thing is stupid, but hey, that’s what you get right? Out comes Shane, and here we go, another week of Raw, and I’m pumped. I just got back from Spokane, Washington to hang out with a dear friend of mine, and play some poker. Now I’m back in Indianapolis, hanging out, making buttons, and enjoying a little bit of the high life. So here is the break down of the Monday Night Raw HULU edition, since I don’t have cable. Images via WWE.COM

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/26/2016 Results and Review

Stephanie McMahon showed up to interrupt Shane, and the two talked about how this was the last night for Shane. Stephanie than dropped the bomb shell that this Sunday, Vince McMahon would detail who would be in charge of the WWE. Security came down and escorted Stephanie McMahon out, to uproarious cheers. BY the way, I’d like to just say that Stephanie is absolutely beautiful. Just saying. Stunning. For a mother of several children, she has such a great body, and well, that’s awesome. According to the Triple H dvd, she works out daily, and of course, she has the resources to get it done. This was a really cool segment with Stephanie getting carted out by Security, aka Indie Wrestlers.

Aj Styles defeated Sheamus

In the first time ever meeting, this match really showcased a good match. The two went for it, but it was Sheamus that was getting the upper hand for the most part. However, Styles, picked up the win with a little psychology. Missing the Brogue kick, Sheamus fell backwards and boom the Phenomenal Forearm knocked his ass out, letting Styles pick up the win before Gallows and Anderson came to the ramp to see what’s up. Styles has been on fire since coming into the WWE, even though Jericho buried him.

The WWE Tag Team tournament continued a bit, with promos getting cut by The New Day, The Vaudevillains and Enzo and Cass. It was ok, nothing too exciting. No action.

Gallows and Anderson's New Gear Is Like Nasty Boys 2.0

Gallows and Anderson defeated The Usos

Why did the team of Gallows and Anderson look like The Nasty Boys? Just saying. Nasty Boys 2.0, you heard it here first. This was an ok match, not what I expected, but hey, not everything can be a technical masterpiece, right? Overall, good flow, and of course The Bullet Club wins.

Roman Reigns easily took care of the Bullet Club after the match, in my view, burying them. Ok, maybe not, but come on. It would’ve looked way better of the Bullet Club beat down Reigns, but you know he’s the new Superman.

Sami Zayn defeated Rusev

Rusev controlled most of this match, and it was entertaining. However, Zayn wins with a random roll up ala 1992 WCW. I didn’t like the finish, but the rest of the match had some good points.

Ambrose came out to cut a promo on Jericho. Jericho came out and ranted, as usual. Another boring segment. I hate these. Jericho got the best of Ambrose, and gave him the Walls of Jericho on the announcer’s table. Yep. Nothing to see here folks.

As much as I liked the Chyna video tribute. Let’s not forget that the WWE, and Triple H specifically buried her many times in interviews and even in podcasts. This type of hypocrisy by the WWE is stupid, and disingenuous to the fact that Chyna was not well loved in the WWE before she died. I’m sorry, I can’t get behind this. WWE’s revisionist history is insane. RIP Chyna, sorry for the disingenuous attitudes. I wish people showed you love before you died, perhaps it would’ve helped more.

Aj Styles Getting Blasted While The Nasty Boys 2.0 Look On

Roman Reigns defeated Alberto Del Rio

So Roman buries Alberto Del Rio, oh well. The match was boring, the crowd wasn’t into it. Aj Styles comes out after Gallows and Anderson come down to fight Roman Reigns, only to get Superman Punched for his help. The question is, like the classic WCW world, is Aj Styles in collusion with The bullet Club? Well, A Phenomenal Forearm knocked out Reigns, so maybe he is in cahoots? I don’t know? Collusion? I don’t know. We’ll see at Payback, right?

Overall Rating: 5 out of 10

The Hulu edition of Raw had a lot more talking and promos than they had wrestling. I would prefer more wrestling, but hey, that’s me. It’s nice to see new matches, and Payback should be interesting, although Roman is going over. Simple as that.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/12/2016 Results and Review Shane McMahon Running Things

This is a review of the HULU version of Monday Night Raw. It was Shane McMahon’s second time running the show, and it’s quite interesting to see him out and setting up matches, etc. I liked it. He announced a tag team tournament, and a first match with Cesaro and Owens. Holy Crap! Let’s get into the review. Image SRC WWE.com

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/12/2016 Review

Cesaro defeated Kevin Owens

Owens was supposed to get a title shot if he could defeat Cesaro. Well, Cesaro and Owens put on a high caliber match up. It was fun. Cesaro’s corkscrew elbow was a marvelous thing, if you saw it. Holy crap was that good! Cesaro and Owens, wow, what a Raw match up. I loved it.

The Dudleys defeated The Lucha Dragons

I forecast that The Dudleys will wrestle Enzo and Cass. As for this, a standard tag affair, with a few good spots, and overall interesting elements. I liked it.

Kevin Owens getting thrown out of the building was grand. I loved it.

Roman Reigns getting booed was loud on Raw, the WWE didn’t edit the Audio for Hulu that’s for sure.

Natalya defeated Charlotte by DQ

This wasn’t half bad, I liked it. But again, Charlotte got to keep the title, because Flair got involved.

The Usos defated The Social Outcasts

This match was boring, but it got really exciting when Carl Anderson and Luke Gallows AKA The Bullet Club came out and beat the crap out of the USOS!

Aj Styles defeated sami Zayn

Holy crap! This was a stellar match up. The spots you’d expect occurred, with Zayn getting some great shots at Styles. However, it was Styles that was able to reverse things and make it out alive in this one. Zayn is quite the worker, and Styles is great in ring here. I’ve been impressed thus far with his WWE run.

The Highlight Reel turned into The Ambrose Asylum. Jericho and Ambrose will be fighting soon, this was ok, I guess.

Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns defeated The League of Nations

This was a mediocre match, and I didn’t care about it. Another tag team main event? Bray and Roman win, I went back to bed, you hated it, I didn’t think it was great, another waste. SOS if you ask me. Shane running things or not.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/5/2016 The Night After Wrestlemania 32 Results and Review

Here we go, American Airlines arena in Dallas, Raw! This is an incredible night right? Well, this review is based on the 90 minute version of the show since I don’t have cable, and watch this show via HULU. Yep. Images source wwe.com.

WWE Monday Night Raw 4/5/2016 Review

Vince McMahon showed up to start things off, and the crowd was absolutely hot. He told people to enjoy the show, and then came out Shane McMahon! Shane came out and said thank you, and goodbye.

But, that’s not enough for Vinnie Mac. He said, “NO ONE OUTSTAGES ME”, so he went on a tirade as Shane McMahon was walking away.

The turn about? Shane McMahon will be running Monday Night Raw tonight! The crowd exploded!

The New Day defeated The League of Nations in a Tag Team Title Match

This wasn’t just a rehash of last night. It was a fast paced, easy going match, with a few spots, but mostly a telegraphed New Day victory. It wasn’t half bad, but you knew this was going to go the way of the New Day. They retain the titles.

Post match, The League of Nations Brogue (or as I call the BRO) kicked Wade Barrett out of the group. This was interrupted by The Wyatt family! They brawled! This wasn’t half bad, but it’s not much of a statement in my view.

Vince left this show and said it was going to be a disaster. The editing of Raw was odd, to say the least.

Apollo Crews defeated Tyler Breeze

This was a clinic, wow, Crews is very good and crisp in the ring. Tyler Breeze got buried, absolutely buried. He’s on his way out, he has to be. His gimmick is terrible, he gets losses, he can’t possibly be getting a push forward. Crews, wow, what a specimen and what an arsenal of moves. A good overall debut, squash, but hey it was entertaining at least. I liked it.

Roman Reigns came out to a chorus of boos, and you know, good reason. No one wanted him as champion. Reigns cut a cool promo, where he didn’t cater to the boos, and then said he’d beat the crap out of anyone that came out to the ring.

Chris Jericho showed up, and rightfully so, he’s on a roll. He demanded a title shot, but was interrupted by AJ Styles! Man, I love this guy, this was a good segment, with Reigns just watching the two banter about who gets a shot. Kevin Owens showed up as well, and he said he wanted a shot as well! Holy crap! Then Sami Zayn showed up! This crowd absolutely exploded, and my house was rocking too, all 5 of my cats were going nuts for Zayn! This ended in a melee, where Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens fought, then Styles and Jericho fought, but it ended with Roman Reigns spearing Jericho! This may very well lead to an elimination chamber match, I think. We’ll see what happens, this was a good segment overall.

Zack Ryder came out and the Miz showed up to demanded a title shot.

The Miz got his title shot right away, and boom, the match started right after this promo. I liked this, I love fighting champions.

The Miz defeated Zack Ryder for the Intercontinental Championship

The Miz and Zack Ryder had an ok match, but it really got good when Ryder’s dad (front row ringside) got involved. He pushed The Miz, and that caused Maryse to come out and slap Ryder’s dad, and it served as enough distraction for The Miz to get the Skull Crushing Finale to get through and pin Ryder. New Champion!

The formal presentation of the Women’s Title was really cool, and Lita, wow she’s beautiful. This ended with all the women leaving Charlotte inside the ring alone to throw a tantrum. It ended with Natalya getting into fisticuffs with the champion. This should set up the next feud.

The Dudleys defeated The Usos in a tables match

This was a cool match, as The Usos are exciting to watch. However, this time it was the Dudleys won big time. I liked it. The Dudleys pushed through and won this one, and I loved seeing the finish with the Usos going down through 3 tables!

Speaking of tables, backstage Sami Zayn was doing an interview and was interrupted by Kevin Owens! Owens power bombed Sami Zayn through a table! Man this is getting good.

Enzo and Cass came out and blew the roof off the building, and I was marking out huge bro! The Dudleys got trashed on the mic, and it was great. What a way to debut a team. I’m glad that the WWE is pushing up new guys, and these guys are definitely fun to watch.

Zayn could not compete, so Shane McMahon put in a replacement. I thought it was going to be Triple H, but it wasn’t. It was CESARO! That’s right Cesaro is back!

Aj Styles defeated Chris Jericho, Kevin Owens, and Cesaro in a fatal four way for the number one contendership

This was a 4 star classic for me. Everyone fought hard, everyone had spots, everyone nearly won, but it was Aj Styles that got the victory here and he will be the first one to challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE title! This is huge! AJ STYLES!

Great overall Raw, even if it was only the HULU edition. I loved it.

WWE WrestleMania 32 Predictions

Here we go, we are less than 1 day away from the big one, the granddaddy of them all. I went from having a living room full of fans, to having a living room full of cats, and since I have no friends and I’m not in Dallas, I’m going to watch on the WWE network. With that in mind, consider the following run down of the matches and my predictions overall.

Wrestlemania 32 Matches and my preditions (sir Jorge wwe)

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H defeats Roman Reigns

What’s best for business? I’m going to say that Triple H is going to win yet again. Why? Because I was at Kroger this morning and he is on the cover of yet another men’s health magazine. Plus, Reigns is getting booed so badly, he’s got to lose, and not only that, he loses out of frustration. He just gives up, or he ends up losing because Triple H’s friends run deep.

Dean Ambrose defeats Brock Lesnar (No Holds Barred Street Fight)

Brock Lesnar was recently interviewed saying that Vince McMahon has cashed a lot of checks to get Lesnar to wrestle. Well guess what? He says he has reached his limit. Well, you know what? Dean Ambrose wins, Lesnar goes bye bye because he’s OVER RATED.

Shane McMahon defeats The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell Match)

Shane McMahon wins this one, simple as that. I don’t know why, don’t know how, but he’ll win.

Divas Champion Charlotte defeats Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks (Triple Threat Match)

Charlotte retains, it’s not time for her to lose the belt, that’s my 2 cents.

Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens wins the ladder match

Kevin Owens wins, and milks the mania thing.

AJ Styles defeats Chris Jericho

AJ Styles wins, and Jericho retires.

The 3rd annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal will be won by Mark Henry

There’s not much to this except Henry is retiring.

The New Day defeats The League of Nations

The New Day will win again, and everyone will dance.

The Usos defeats The Dudley Boyz

The Usos will win, and the Dudleys will retire.

The Total Divas defeats B.A.D. & Blonde

The Bellas get one last ride before retirement.

United States Champion Kalisto defeats Ryback

Kalisto wins, I don’t care.

Overall, Wrestlemania has the weakest card since Wrestlemania 15 bored me to death. Will this be a great one? Or will it absolutely blow? I don’t know. I’m excited though, seriously, excited!

Wwe Monday Night Raw 5/4/09 Results

Kofi Kingston defeated Matt Hardy
Cody Rhodes defeated MVP by countout
Mickie James defeated Maryse
Ted Dibiase Jr. defeated Batista
Carlito defeated The Brian Kendrick
Shane McMahon defeated Legacy via DQ

Wwe Monday Night Raw 5/4/09 Review

The show, for once, didn’t start with talking on the mic. It seemed as though we were on a collision course with wrestling as Orton came to ringside ad awaited Shane McMahon. McMahon ambushed Orton from behind and the match started on the outside, with a brawl ensuing. Shane had this thing going his way completely but out came the rest of Legacy and they descended on Shane, beating him 3 on 1. MVP came down to the ring for the save, he was throwing haymakers, but it wasn’t enough as he had to fight 3 on 1 as well. Batista came running down to ringside as well, and he single handedly took out Legacy and Randy Orton ran away like a cowardly dog.

Vickie Guerrero came down to ringside and yelled about crap. She said that Shane McMahon will wrestle Orton. Mvp will take on Cody Rhodes, and Batista will face Ted Dibiase. If either one wins their match they join either Randy Orton or Shane’s corner. “Win and your in” they said, and I was a blur case I was tired.

Kofi Kingston defeated Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy was fighting with a cast again. Kofi was getting worked over really good by Matt in this match. Even with one arm Matt hardy was putting on a good match, nd that’s a big credit to him and Kofi, both working well through the match, much like Cowboy Bob Orton when he wore a cast for six years. In a shocker, Kofi Kingston somehow managed to win this one via pinfall, this was rad; Kofi Kingston then was attacked by Matt Hardy with his cast, surprise surprise.

Cody Rhodes defeated MVP by countout

MVP was putting on a good show here against Cody Rhodes in this match up. Cody has been steadily improving as well, I’m surprised that the WWE hasn’t forced him to bulk up, he looked small compared to a much larger MVP. It wasn’t like he was being dwarfed but it was definitely interesting to note. William Regal knocked MVP off the apron, forcing a count out.

At this point there was a singing contest? It was weird. Festus and Jillian sang and what not. The Miz came out and beat up Festus, and then cut another promo about how cool he was. He called out John Cena again and this time around John Cena came out to the ramp. Then down came The Big Show.

There was a stand off, no sign of the Miz here, just Show and Cena. The Big Show then beat up Cena, much to the fans delight…well adult fans that don’t buy ppv or merchandise and talk on blogs. Not me, I buy stuff and barely scrape enough cash for 2 ppv’s a month.

Mickie James defeated Maryse

This was an interesting match up. Mickie James got a lot of good shots into this match up and it seemed like Maryse was made to look weak against the former Women’s champion because the ending was terrible. Maryse lost this one clean, and I am tired. This was dumb.

Ted Dibiase Jr. defeated Batista

This seemed obvious, with MVP losing earlier, I knew that Ted would be losing this one. This was standard Batista fair, he was getting worked early on, with rest holds of all things, until an epic comeback. After a while, I thought this thing was going to go all Batista, but then, Ted Dibiase won via disqualified!

Carlito defeated The Brian Kendrick

This match was great, it was fast paced and entertaining. However, this match was terrible for Kendrick. Once again Kendrick loses, and Carlito has really upped his game. Carlito pushes through in his one even though Kendrick has a lot of great pieces of offense though, so it wasn’t a total squash, but when the dust settled it was Carlito looking good yet again.

Shane McMahon defeated Legacy via DQ

This was a major handicap match. Shane McMahon was taking care of business. Seriously, he was really putting on a great show getting the upper hand on all of Legacy. However, it wouldn’t last forever because Orton got upset and was stomping Shane out like a chump. I’m not sure where the WWE was going through with this match, they are showing Shane can be superman at times, taking unnecessary risks. Legacy really then went to work on permanently injuring Shane McMahon towards the end of this match by putting his leg down and getting hit with the steel steps. I hate this ending, and didn’t get it. Shane McMahon wins but gets a broken leg for his trouble.

WWE Backlash 2009 Review

After a weird week with my cable set up, I finally got things ironed out, at least I hoped. The 2009 Backlash ppv was looking to be quite strong on paper, but would it deliver? We’ll see…here is my review of sorts of Backlash 2009 WWE ppv.

Christian defeated Jack Swagger to win the ECW Championship

Right off the bat the ECW Championship was on the line. Ever since Christian came into the WWE he’s been fighting an uphill battle to get back to the main event spotlight. Jack Swagger has been “the man” over on ECW for so long that it was nice to see a little different event. This match started with a little back and forth, but moreover Jack Swagger was dominating, showing that he could manhandle Christian with his power. Swagger seemed one step ahead of Christian’s counters early on, and it was interesting to note that Swagger was made to look like the smarter wrestler, as he was definitely showing off his move set, which was a change for a champion in the WWE. Christian turned things around mid match by putting his knees up after Swagger tried a splash using the ropes. Christian got a second wind and looked poised to win with a top rope sunset flip, but it only garnered a two count. Swagger kept going for his gut wrench power bomb, but Christian kept fighting it off. Christian managed to pull a tornado ddt from the far corner, and it seemed mathematic at this point, but it was only a two count. The match progressed into near fall after near fall with neither opponent getting too close. A frustrated Swagger seemed to have things sewn up, but it was Christian that got the last laugh as he won this match and became the ECW champion! Christian is the new ECW champion. Christian used an exposed turnbuckle to set up the unprettier and the win.

Chris Jericho defeated Ricky The Dragon Steamboat

This match wasn’t that great. Sure the two competitors tried to put on a good show, but Ricky Steamboat is way past his prime. Steamboat started this match off with some basic mat wrestling, Jericho tried to brawl up front, but it didn’t seem to work out too well early on. Jericho took control of this match up with ease and started to systematically breakdown steamboat. A back suplex out the corner was a nice touch to an otherwise very slow moving match up. A bunch of nearfalls later, including the Walls of Jericho countered into a figure four, and we had ourselves an ok match up. However, it spun back into the Walls of Jericho for the win. Steamboat put up a good fight, but didn’t win this one, and Jericho once again wins.

Kane defeated CM Punk

I didn’t know this match was going to be on the card, but it was indeed interesting to see. The match started with Punk going all out to stop Kane. Kane was taking full control towards the mid match. Punk nearly got an STF, but wasn’t able to finish Kane, and was attempting to get the upper hand, but Kane seemed like he was going to win big. However, CM Punk was dropping bombs. After a huge choke slam, Kane picked up the victory.

Jeff Hardy defeated Matt Hardy in an I Quit Match

Jeff Hardy started this match straight up, fighting with all he had to seclude Matt Hardy. Matt had a lot of nothing to give early on, as Jeff had this thing sewn up early on. Jeff was putting on a clinic, putting his best moves forward. But Matt Hardy wasn’t going to lie down and just lose, the match turned around and Jeff Hardy was now on the receiving end of things. The match began to slow down tremendously, and towards the middle it was just random rest holds. The longest being a half Boston Crab by Matt on Jeff, that just seemed overkill for such a high profile match up. The match really had the crowd mesmerized as Matt Hardy was knocked out in ring and Jeff went outside to get a table. Jeff duct taped Matt’s legs and arms together all while on the table. He then tied him to the table with ropes! Jeff then proceeded to set up a ladder! Matt got on the mic and said he Loved Jeff and it was weird. Jeff climbed to the top of the ladder, Matt then quit; losing the match. However, Jeff still delivered a huge leg drop off the top rope through a table!

Santina defeated Beth Phoenix

The Great Khali was scheduled to kiss “Santina” at this point in the ppv. Santina claimed that she was in love with Jim Ross and that she couldn’t kiss Great Khali. Khali agreed not to kiss Santina if she kissed JR! Beth Phoenix came out and told everyone that Santina was really Santino! Khali hit Beth Phoenix in the head, and then pushed her over! Santina then jumped into action and pinned Beth Phoenix! This is the weirdest piece of ppv history ever in the WWE.

Post match Santina ran out of the ring clutching his/her chest! So much or that pg rating huh?

Ted Dibiase Jr, Cody Rhodes, and Randy Orton defeated Shane McMahon, Batista, and Triple H

Randy Orton is the new WWE Championship

This match bega with a complete melee; Triple H and Orton immediately took each other outside of the ring, and down the ramp. Triple H returned without Orton and it seemed to be two on three. At least at first, as Cody Rhodes ad Ted Dibiase were stuck trying to battle the McMahon team. Shane & Cody got things started as the bell rang and the match started out, and then it was Triple H and Batista that were working over Priceless with ease. Batista hit a nice delayed vertical suplex, and it was better if not as good as The Franchise Shane Douglas! Batista put on a clinic in there, beating the crap out of Cody and Ted. He stopped short of delivering the Batista Bomb. Randy Orton ran down to the ring, and brought himself back into the match up. He fought off Batista’s attack and brought the match to their favor. It seemed like whenever one team got on a roll, it was turned over immediately with a hot tag, making for a nice fast paced match, but no clear story, which isn’t terrible, but it just seemed different from the traditional six man tag fair that the WWE usually throws at us on ppv. I spoke too soon, because moments later this match up turned into a slower paced match as Shane Mcmahon was isolated in the ring against Cody Rhodes. Priceless then took turns working over Shane McMahon in this match up, and it looked like he was on his way to getting pinned. The ring cleared and only two people were left in the match up, and Triple H was knocked out with an RKO! Then after a very false finish with the bell rung and all, the ref distracted Orton punted the crap out of Triple H and pinned him. Batista essentially cost Triple H the belt because he distracted the ref and well…I’m doing a terrible job explaining it all, it was really chaotic at the end. Wow…Triple H finally loses. Randy Orton pinned Triple H and afterwards was carried out on a stretcher as Triple H was kicked really hard in the head. I don’t think he was seriously injured, but it looked bad. Maybe this is going to mark a break for Triple H for a while now. Who knows?

The crowd was yelling at Batista left and right. Death to Batista etc; Triple H was wheeled out of the ringside area via the ramp on a full stretcher.

Edge defeated John Cena in the World Championship Last Man Standing match

This match started out slow, and I wasn’t really into it. I have seen these guys wrestle way too much in my lifetime. I don’t know if anyone really cared about this match, as it was really not going strong at all for me, and while the crowd to be into it somewhat, I wasn’t at all. Edge had some rest hold in and continued to just try to rest hold Cena to death. He had a sleeper hold locked in for a good 8 to 10 minutes. The action spilled outside, proving once again that this match might have some valid points. However, the two men moved back into the ring for more. Cena brought the steel steps into the ring, and was keen on using them to knockout Edge. Edge was the one that capitalized on using the stairs as a weapon in this match, hitting Cena square in the shoulders with them after a running Baseball Slide into the corner. John Cena lifted the steps and threw them at Edge outside of the ring, hitting Edge square in the face with them, and nearly knocking him out. The lamest part of this match was that both competitors nearly knocked each other out with punches. Yep. Punches. They made it interesting with Edge trying a “You Can’t See Me” which led John Cena to hit the STF! Edge was tapping like a drunk man, but it wasn’t helping at all. Cena hit a mid rope Attitude Adjustment and this thing looked said and done. Edge was completely out, and it did look good, as it waked up the crowd and made me almost interested in this match up. Cena leaped off the top rope but Edge caught him in mid air and hit a SPEAR! This looked like the End for sure. Edge then propped Cena onto the announcers table outside the ring and it was to no avail! Cena dumped Edge onto the first three rows of FANS! That’s right, EDGE was thrown into the first three ROWS OF FANS! The two guys managed to get themselves to the ramp area and shades of Royal Rumble 99 hit me. Edge then hit a nice ddt on the ramp! Cena looked out cold, but I knew it wasn’t over. This match slowly turned me into a believer as I really wanted to see who would win this one. The Big Show came out! The Big Show then grabbed Cena and dropped him off the side of a Stage into a weird Electrical unit that Exploded! Yep. This weird glass, electrical light fixture completed exploded with Cena inside! It was a really interesting lighting effect and Edge won this match! Edge is the NEW World Heavyweight champion!

Not a bad ppv. That ending was great. I wanted C.M Punk to cash in Money in the Bank right then and there, but it didn’t look like it was in the cards. It looked marvelous seriously, it looked amazing, Cena took a sweet bump right into the stage lights and the explosion rocked the crowd and it looked legit. I liked how it turned out.

That ending sealed the deal. Edge champion, wow; Orton and Edge are now champions.

Good overall ppv. Cena looked dead.
