The show opened up with talking. Carmella, Charlotte, and Becky were in ring, all in gear, and just talked. I hate this.

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

This was an interesting little match, and it ended up going a bit longer than I thought. This was a good match in theory, with Rose and Deville throwing down some good moves here and there, but alas, it was the team of Flair and Lynch that would get the win. That was the end of that. It’s sad to see no Asuka, and these two getting beat yet again. A tap out victory, and that was that. Oh, and Carmella on commentary was horrendous. She should’ve cost the duo the match somehow, instead, she just watched them.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Triple Threat

Meh

The New Day defeated Sanity

If you thought Sanity was going to get a fair shake on the main roster, you were wrong. That’s right, they once again end up having a serious problem, even though they put up a good fight. There was some great overall moves from the Sanity group, but it was New Day that was going to win this one and well, that was that. A good match, with some fun, and pancakes.

Throughout the night they showed stories of The Miz and Daniel Bryan, which weren’t bad.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Aiden English

Well, Aiden English lost this one, and it was fairly one sided. Cien Almas won and that’s that. Meh. It was a match. Zelina Vega is hot though. I love her.

Jeff Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin

Remember when Shelton Benjamin was a big deal coming back? Not any longer. He lost here in a short match against Hardy, and that was that. Nakamura tried to come in and fight, but he got a Swanton for his trouble, and that was that. This was a fast moving element, and well, it was fun to watch none the less.

AJ Styles Talks To The Crowd

This is how you end a wrestling show? With more talking? South Park parody yet again. Samoa Joe came out and read a letter from Wendy Styles, and I yawned, and blinked, and the show was over.

This was the end result of the show? Really? Come on!

WWE Smackdown April 17, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Gets Jacked

Joe Buries Sin Cara - SRC WWE  

Well, here we go, another day has passed, and before I begin talking about anything I want to say that it’s unfortunate to hear about the death of Bruno Sammartino. He has passed, and it’s a sad day for sure. If you’re a fan of wrestling, then you know that this is a big deal. RIP Bruno! RIP! We’ll see you in heaven brother.

WWE Smackdown April 17, 2018 Results and Review

A lot went down in an hour and a few minutes of Smackdown. People keep saying that it’s 2 hours, but it’s not. When you cut commercials out, you get about 1 hour and 20 minutes of programming, and sometimes less. Whatever the case may be, there was a lot shoved into this night of wrestling.

Aj Styles defeated Rusev via disqualification

The starting of the show had Aj Styles doing a promo but was interrupted by Rusev and Aiden English. That prompted a match between the Bulgarian Lion and Styles, but it ended when English jumped in and started to beat down Styles. That prompted a save from Daniel Bryan, and that would setup the final match later in the evening.

Jeff Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin

Benjamin cut one hell of a heel program and then asked anyone to come down. Randy Orton showed up first, but was thwarted by Jeff Hardy. Jeff Hardy is now officially on Smackdown Live, and he ran down with the belt to challenge Benjamin with the title on the line. This was a compelling back and forth match, and it really showed the talents of both men. I loved it, and it could very well be one of the best matches of the week. Hardy would win with his final moves, but wow, Benjamin had some answers for the offense.

Harper defeated Jey Uso

The Usos were buried here, there’s no two ways about it.

Carmella Threw a Mellabration

Carmella’s little party was ok to say the least.

Samoa Joe defeated Sin Cara

Sin Cara got buried by Samoa Joe, and Joe threw down one hell of a promo.

Charlotte Flair defeated Billie Kay

Flair beat down Billie Kay and won with the figure 8, but after the match, out came Peyton Royce to beat down Flair. She was saved by Asuka, whom is now on the Smackdown Live brand. Not a great match at all.

Aj Styles and Daniel Bryan vs. Rusev and Aiden English ended in a no contest when Shinsuke Nakamura and Big Cass interfered

This wasn’t too bad. It was a good back and forth tag with Styles getting most of the action with Rusev and English, until he got the hot tag, and Bryan ran in. Bryan was doing well until Shinsuke Nakamura showed up and low blowed Styles, and then Big Cass interfered and stomped out Bryan. That was how Smackdown ended.

Shinsuke Nakamura was asked why, and he delivered a great line, “no speak English”, and I loved it.

This night seemed packed with stuff, and though it wasn’t a long night of wrestling, it worked well enough for the time frame, and there’s a lot of new faces to expect coming through.

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 Smackdown Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review The Worst Show Keeps Moving

Jinder Won't Be Hindered - Source WWE dot com

The B show of Smackdown Live was in full effect with Roman Drapes covering a lot of empty seats that were in the building. This time around we were going to get a few matches, and talking, which is an awful night if you ask me.

WWE Smackdown Live February 20, 2018 Results and Review

The first thing we get is Aj Styles talking to Renee Young about the big match at Fastlane. I was distracted by Young, whom is very beautiful, and Dean Ambrose is a lucky man. Styles kept talking, and I was focusing on Young before Corbin showed up and said that Styles can’t beat him. That got interrupted and matches were set, which we started with Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler.

Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler

Why would Ziggler leave and come back only to get buried on this show? I am appalled by the logic of having random music play and distract a wrestler, only to have him get pinned. This was a good match until Sami Zayn ran down and distracted Ziggler. Owens won, and that was the end. Not a bad match, but definitely not great, especially the ending.

Jinder Mahal Cuts a Promo

This wasn’t half bad, and if you didn’t like Jinder Mahal cutting a heel promo, then you can’t see past his championship run. He would get the last laugh here as he cut a promo and then hit his finisher on Bobby Roode. Roode did hit a DDT on Orton, but it was Jinder Mahal that stood tall here. I like him, I don’t know what it is, but he’s pretty cool right now. Jinder Mahal is quite good when he’s cutting people down.

The Riott Squad defeated Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Naomi

This wasn’t great, but it had a few good moments. I was impressed with how Naomi’s offense worked here, and I liked how Flair was able to work well with the Squad. The person that was lost here was Becky Lynch, which wasn’t as cohesive as her counterparts. The match went well for the bad girls, however, as The Riott Squad would get the win, and it was good to see. Ruby Riott gets the win, and will get a title shot because of it.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

The winner would get a title shot at Fastlane, and you guessed what happened, The New Day won again. I’m so tired of the New Day, but hey, they can work well with The Usos, so I guess that’s ok. This match was a good fun romp, and it managed to keep my attention, so that’s a positive.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Jobbers

This was lame.

Aj Styles defeated Baron Corbin

When you have an Aj Styles match, you know you’re going to get a good push forward. Styles was able to carry Baron Corbin through some great momentum. This match was fast, and it was very good at times, with Corbin getting into a big winning point until Styles threw down one last Phenomenal Forearm and gets the big win!

Overall this was awful. I didn’t like this night of wrestling, it was definitely the B show compared to the Monday Night Raw show. Overall, Styles and Corbin put on a good match, but other than that, Smackdown was definitely the B show if you ask me.

WWE Smackdown February 6, 2018 Results and Review The Same Old Thing Continues

Bobby Roode Wins Against Rusev - SRC WWE dot com

People used to think that Smackdown was the better show. I disagree. This is just another WWE program that is kind of boring, and it showed with the way that the show pushed through the same old BS that they are always going through. Don’t believe me? Well, let’s consider what went on this week.

WWE Smackdown Live February 6, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of Smackdown features the Daniel Bryan top 10 list which featured the people that you’d expect, without Rusev. Rusev gets the most attention and fan fare, and yet the WWE doesn’t seem to listen.

Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan open the show together and they are talking about random BS and how Daniel Bryan is living vicariously through Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Bryan denies it, and we start the show.

Charlotte Flair defeated Liv Morgan

This was an easy match for Flair. Morgan was able to gain the upper hand a few times, but it wasn’t that great. Charlotte Flair fought and won, within a short span. I love Flair, and would love to hang out with her and interview her for this blog. Liv Morgan needs a lot more time to develop, but Flair is grand here.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated JOBBERS

The Brothers win. Ok.

The Usos Cut A Promo

The USOS are good on the mic, and well, they need more challengers.

Bobby Roode defeated Rusev

It was RUSEV DAY and yet Bobby Roode didn’t care. This was a good back and forth match, with Rusev throwing down some great points, but it was Roode that would get the final win with his Glorious DDT. This was a good television match, mind you, not great, but it had my attention, and Rusev loses clean in the US Title Match.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Ascension

Not a bad match, but not a great one either. The Ascension did throw in some great overall offense, and found the overall fight to be good, but Gable and Benjamin would not be stopped and they get the win. I like that team and think they should get more chances to get the titles, I would watch them in nearly any type of match. They should get a street fight in with the Usos.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn ended in a No Contest

This match was a brawl from start to finish. Zayn and Owens put each other through many of their classic moves, and it wasn’t half bad. Owens would end up on the losing end at one point and out came Aj Styles to fight Zayn and Owens, and that was that. At the end of the match, it was thrown out and Bryan threw out that the guys would play in Fastlane.

This night wasn’t that good. It was ok. I liked it a little, but it seemed far too short and missed a lot of different people on the roster.

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 1, 2017 Results and Review The Dream Match Killer

This Was Your Finish, But It Was Boring - src wwe.com

This week’s edition of Smackdown was live from Cleveland, Ohio. Just a stone’s throw away from where I live, and I didn’t want to go. Why would I? The quality of Smackdown’s shows has been dropping like crazy, so I didn’t want to jump into this one live, but I needed to write up a review, and so here I am, talking about Smackdown again. This is a night that should’ve been great, but instead, it felt a little flat, and we’re going to discuss it and what not below.

WWE Smackdown Live August 1, 2017 Results and Review

Aj Styles defeated Kevin Owens

This match was probably the worst thing I’ve seen these guys in. They keep putting on matches that are absolutely cringe worthy. They just seem to be working at half speed or something. They don’t seem to be into it, and the ending was goofy as ever. Owens went to swing at Aj Styles and supposedly hit the ref, and the ref didn’t see when Owens’ shoulder was up, getting counted pinned in 3, which would lead to him throwing a tantrum. He yelled at Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, leading to them announcing that Aj Styles would face Kevin Owens yet again, only this time, it’s going to be with guest referee Shane McMahon! Oh joy, oh boy, another match with these guys? They don’t have a lot of chemistry, folks.

Aiden English defeated Sami Zayn

Burials happen a lot, and we saw the burial of Sami Zayn once again occur on Smackdown. The WWE must not like Zayn, because he once again loses, and this time it’s to Aiden English, the singing dude. I don’t like English’s gimmick. I preferred the raucous noise that he was getting as part of the Vaudevillains, which worked. Oh well. This match was fast, and Zayn lost via roll up. Where’s Tye Dillinger, by the way? He was the perfect 10, after all.

Naomi and Becky Lynch defeated Carmella and Natalya

What a waste here. Sure, it was a little entertaining, but it was not great. The women got a few minutes to showcase their work, but it was really rushed, and in the end, the good guys win, and the bad guys lose. I mean girls.

Rusev defeated Chad Gable

Gable put on a good fight against Rusev, but Rusev is a wasted talent. He’s already lost to John Cena multiple times, and he’s scheduled to either get beaten down by Randy Orton or get a quick win, and then move onto I don’t know, nothing? Rusev sucks now, and while Gable had some nice highlights, he’s done now too.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated John Cena

This was a surprise. Shinsuke won this match clean. But John Cena was obviously going half speed and there was miscommunication in the ring. Nakamura got a lot of his spots in, but Cena wasn’t selling that well, and it became painfully obvious that Nakamura was going over. When Cena is not going to win, he doesn’t sell as well, trying to make the other guy look dominant, and it doesn’t bode well for the match. This could’ve been great, but unfortunately, it’s going to be remembered for the fact that Nakamura dropped Cena on his neck, and that’s it.

Post match, exclusively, on WWE.com Baron Corbin showed up and beat up Nakamura. He then got thrown through a table by John Cena.

Smackdown is not good, this was boring at times. It’s just a rushed, boring show that doesn’t utilize all of the talent that they have. Oh, but they did have the Usos mocking The New Day, so that was cool. Day One Ish and all that jazz.

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 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.

WWE Smackdown Live March 7, 2017 Results and Review Burying Everyone

Let's Bury Everyone We Can!!

Later this year, I’m going to be starting a burial report. Why? Because so much talent in the WWE is getting buried right now. It’s insane how much dirt is getting piled onto the so called superstars of the WWE. Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at Smackdown, which was live from my home town this week, and I didn’t go.

Dean Ambrose got beat down by Baron Corbin

Randy Orton defeated Aj Styles
Aj Styles nearly knocks out Shane McMahon

WWE Smackdown Live March 7, 2017 Review

So here we go, the burial of talent begins with Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon talking to the crowd about the main event, etc. Oh well.

John Cena and Nikki Bella defeated James Ellsworth and Carmella

So the WWE completely buried Ellsworth and Carmella. Ellsworth, you would expect not to get any offense in, right? But Carmella didn’t get nearly as much offense as you’d think. John Cena got the tag and then buried Ellsworth, while Carmella got buried by Nikki. The duo of the new Cena team hit the five knuckle shuffle in unison, then did the F5 and what not, and that was that. John Cena curtain jerking.

Dean Ambrose got beat down by Baron Corbin

Dean Ambrose went looking for Baron Corbin and got beat up. A lead pipe and a forklift did the trick. I’m guessing this leads to a street fight.

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James defeated Becky Lynch and Natalya

This match was interesting, in that it completely was a waste of time. Mickie and Alexa won big here. Becky and Natalya worked ok, until Natalya got mad and hit a release german suplex on Lynch. That’s that. It was a sick bump, and that’s it. Wrestlemania will have Alexa Bliss vs. everyone on the female roster that is available. Ok.

Randy Orton defeated Aj Styles

The match of the night folks, Orton and Styles put on a show for the Indianapolis crowd. There was no sleeping in nap town, that’s for sure. Styles played a great deal of wise guy tactics, Orton was getting frustrated, but of course he’d get the win, and Styles would get buried. Styles will once again NOT be in the title picture for mania, and will most likely lose to Shane McMahon. Oh well.

Aj Styles nearly knocks out Shane McMahon

Moving right along, Aj Styles gets in a fight with Shane McMahon and will most likely face him at Mania. I don’t want to see that, personally.

Now, let me ask you folks, where was the tag team division? Seriously. Where’s the tag teams? Smackdown is supposed to be the better show, and yet the tag champs are nowhere to be found. Oh well.

One last note, Daniel Bryan said that in a year and a half, he will be returning to the wrestling scene, most likely in the independent world. So there’s that.

Smackdown is supposed to be a great show, and yet this show is somewhat dreadful. It is short winded, laughable on the commentary team, and really wastes time dragging along non-important points. It’s not 3 hours, mind you, but sometimes, it feels like it is. Again, no tag team division, no Apollo Crews, no Ziggler match, heck, where’s half of the roster? Undertaker’s not even on the show. Man, what a joke of a show.

People tell me that Smackdown is better than Raw, but if you really look at what is going on, you’ll realize that it’s not that good after all. There’s a lot to be desired with this show, especially with NO update on the tag teams, and a lot more. Sigh.

Boring. Just boring. These guys deserve better. Oh well.

Becky Lynch def. Mickie James in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match

Woa, this was a TV blow off match? I hope this leads to another match, because I want them to just keep fighting. Mickie James is so hot, and she can really go. Lynch is ok, but there needs to be more to this. Alexa Bliss came out but that didn’t help, and well that’s the end of this feud? This was the match of the night for sure.

AJ Styles def. Luke Harper to become No. 1 Contender to WWE Champion Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania

This should’ve been better, but it wasn’t. I actually got bored with it overall. I didn’t call Styles winning, but he did. Shane McMahon got knocked out at one point, which was interesting, and well, we’ll see how this all goes forward.

Dean Ambrose vs. Curt Hawkins never occurred; Ambrose calls out Baron Corbin

Curt Hawkins is fired, right? Sad. Dean sucks. Corbin is scary? Meh.

Dolph Ziggler def. Apollo Crews in a Chairs Match

What a boring match. Ziggler wins, and well I didn’t care.

Randy Orton burns down The Wyatt Family Compound during Bray Wyatt’s Invocation

Broken Randy Orton showed up to burn the Wyatt family’s house down. Ok? So he wants his title match now?

Smackdown is terrible. There are more questions than answers given, and guess what? NO TAG TEAM TITLE MATCHES or continuation from last week. Sigh. What a terrible night of wrestling.

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Results and Review Super Bray Wyatt

WWE Smackdonwn Live came and went on my birthday. I noticed that NO ONE on social media wished me a happy birthday, and that was a bit lame. That happens, though, you get ignored a lot when you’re me. This show was predictable at times, and at others, not so predictable, but with some good flow. Here is what went down and some ideas on what I thought about it.

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Results

American Alpha def. The Ascension
Baron Corbin savagely attacked Dean Ambrose
Mickie James def. Becky Lynch
WWE Champion Bray Wyatt def. John Cena and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat Match

WWE Smackdown Live Tuesday February 14, 2017 Review

There are a lot of pundits that will tell you this show is better than Raw, but I absolutely do not believe that. Not only was this week’s Raw a little better, it had more overall wrestling, and it shows. Just look at this line up that people paid up to 400 dollars a ticket for.

American Alpha def. The Ascension

American Alpha is about exciting as a mayonnaise sandwich. These guys are great athletes, no doubt, but without a lot of great teams to work with, they are just boring. This match was predictable, and boring. The only highlight was the USOS doing a pre-taped video to disrupt their celebration.

Baron Corbin savagely attacked Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose was supposed to fight James Ellsworth, but he never got to the ring. Corbin showed up and beat him down. Perhaps Corbin will win the IC title.

Mickie James def. Becky Lynch

A rematch from the PPV and I already knew that James would get her win back, and it happened. Mickie James worked well here, Lynch did ok, but it wasn’t as good as their PPV match at all, and the ending came with Mickie James pretending to be hurt, only to get the last laugh.

WWE Champion Bray Wyatt def. John Cena and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat Match

Wyatt got beat down before the match, but he overcame it. Aj Styles and Cena threw together some good spots, as usual, but it was Bray Wyatt that is not being booked as super man, because he took a beating, and still came back to win here. Afterwards, Orton said that he didn’t want to fight Wyatt at Wrestlemania. Oh well.

This was a lousy show. It had very little wrestling, and a lot of random vignettes, and stories that don’t make a lot of sense to me. 205 Live had more wrestling, and more power, if you ask me. This was a waste of my time.

WWE Smackdown Live January 10, 2017 Results and Review Let’s Bury Corbin

Don't Tell Me This Is Not A Burial!!!

WWE Smackdown is supposed to be a B show, and you know what? It certainly is, because they seem to only showcase the same old B.S. and if ever there was proof, this was the night to show it off. Let’s discuss a few of the finer points of Smackdown Live.

WWE Smackdown Live January 10, 2017 Review

Natalya and Nikki Bella didn’t really do much to further their feud, it was another No Contest as they beat each other up with no refs pulling apart, etc. Oh well, the match, or whatever this was sucked and you know it.

Kalisto defeated Dolph Ziggler because he’s a loser.

Ziggler loses again? Are you kidding me? He turns heel last week, only to lose to Kalisto this week? Ziggler can’t win, and I’m not buying this turn, it’s stupid.

American Alpha needs Kurt Angle!

American Alpha is the white bread and mayonnaise sandwich of the WWE. They are great wrestlers, but they are boring compared to the Wyatt Family. Speaking of which, Orton is going to turn on them so bad and things are going to get interesting, right? Sure, why not? This match was run at half speed, and if you noticed it, you’ve been a wrestling fan a long time, congratulations.

Carmella and James Ellsworth should do it.

I wish I was Ellsworth, that’s for sure.

Steel Cage women’s Title Match!!!

This should be interesting, except for the fact that there will be no blood. Plus we already saw a women’s Hell in a Cell and people were crapping all over it. If there’s blood, I’m all in, if there isn’t, well, I guess that’s ok too. I don’t expect much from this match, by the way.

John Cena Buried Baron Corbin

John Cena and Corbin put on a match that was seriously boring. This was telegraphed as a Cena win all along and guess what happened? Cena buries another young talent. Corbin looking strong would’ve been great. Heck it would have been the thing that he needed to get over as a top guy, instead, he loses here. I hope he screws Cena out of the title win at the Rumble, and then goes on to face him in a WINNING effort anywhere else, otherwise, I’m going to be saddened by the future endeavors of Corbin. I mean, this is 2010 all over again, when Cena buried The Nexus several times.

Dean Ambrose is the most boring man alive.

Why does the WWE insist on giving talk show segments to everyone? Ambrose isn’t a lunatic, he’s a boring wrestler, and a boring talker. If the WWE really wants to make him stand out, let him go back to that lunatic fringe element. Have him rolling in with a parade, a drum line, and random B.S. instead of trying to force another segment where there’s a lot of talking. Southpark was right, there’s too much talking in wrestling.

If this was the A show? I don’t get it. I don’t want to see this anymore, simple as that. This was a boring showcase, with a few matches that were interesting, but not given enough time.

WWE Smackdown Live January 3, 2017 Results and Review This Is The New Year?

I woke this morning with a headache, and a shower. The shower came after waking up, but I was tired. I didn’t sleep well at all. Smackdown was on last night, but as you know I watch things the day after. I was surprised to see how much was shoved into the show, and was even more surprised by the lackluster display that was on the show. I know people hold this show in high regard, but it’s not without faults, trust me. Let’s not put rose colored glasses on just yet.

WWE Smackdown Live January 3, 2017 Review

The opening of the show had Maryse slapping Ambrose in the ring, and I just remembered this because Maryse was hot. The Miz is a lucky man, what can I say.

Baron Corbin def. Dolph Ziggler

I did not want to see this match. Corbin’s hair is still running away from the front of his head. He should have his head shaved in storyline. That would make him more badass, if you ask me. As for this match, it was ok, I guess. I’ve just seen it a million times before, so I didn’t care. Kalisto showed up afterwards to save Ziggler from further beatings, but Ziggler turned heel and he kicked Kalisto in the face. Sigh. I don’t care about Ziggler, and neither do you. Corbin wins, that’s all.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Becky Lynch def. La Luchadora

This storyline is stupid. Lynch apparently won, I don’t remember. I remember Alexa Bliss coming out to beat up Lynch. But here’s the logical question, why? Bliss is the champ, why is she beating up Lynch now? What does she care? She has the title, Lynch should be chasing Bliss, not the other way around. Even if the champ hates her, why get involved? This makes no sense to me.

AJ Styles and John Cena’s official Royal Rumble WWE Championship Match Contract Signing

I hate these. Styles and Cena cut promos, Cena said the word “bitch”, and the crowd was going insane for Cena. Mad props to Cena, that’s all. This was boring though. Styles kicked him in the head as Baron Corbin was in the ring after a while, and stood tall. Cena and Corbin next week!

Carmella def. Aliyah

Carmella is hot. That’s all I can say. Ellsworth is one lucky guy. I hope he gets a little action from this, because I would absolutely love some. Sigh.

American Alpha def. Breezango

Breezango was buried. That’s it.

Match Rating: 0 out of 5

Nikki Bella and Natalya had words

Who cares. I don’t.

Dean Ambrose def. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship

This I didn’t see coming. Ambrose did his normal match, the same one he keeps doing every time he’s in the ring. I was bored. You were bored. This match went well for him though, and he wins the title. Dean Ambrose is your new Intercontinental champion, and you’re going to be seeing him wrestle the miz 900 thousand times. Great.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Smackdown is a boring show.

Let’s face it, this show was boring. It didn’t even use half of the roster. Where are all the other players on the show? Seriously, this is all they could come up with? Short matches, burials, and another championship for boring ass Dean Ambrose? Whatever. This sucked and you know it.

WWE Smackdown Live November 15, 2016 Results and Review The Rated B Show

Expect One Last Ride For The WWE Title 

For only 1 hour and 21 minutes, this episode of Smackdown Live proves yet again why it is in fact the B-Show. It’s not an A show, but then again, Raw wasn’t exactly the most thrilling 2 plus hours either. Let’s just call this what it is, the equivalent of WCW Thunder! That’s right, I said it. Wreddit readers can go suck a lemon, idiots. Here are my thoughts on this show, since I sat through it and ate breakfast.

WWE Smackdown Live November 15, 2016 Review

The Miz def. Dolph Ziggler to win the Intercontinental Championship

This was an outstanding display of what a great opening match can be. I didn’t mind the logic gap at times, because the two were going as fast as they could from transitional elements to power moves. I liked it. It wasn’t a long match, but it sufficed to do exactly what I said would happen, give the heel champion a way into the ppv. Dolph Ziggler should go do anything else, if you ask me. The Miz getting the title is a nice nod, and if you ask me, will most likely lose it to Sami Zayn, who needs a title right now.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Kalisto def. Oney Lorcan

Two irrelevant wrestlers put on a fast match with nothing worth mentioning. Only Lorcan or is it Orney? I don’t know. The worst name that the WWE has come up with versus one of the worst promo guys in the industry. Not only that, Kalisto is from Chicago, not Mexico. This match sucked, simple as that.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Nikki Bella vs. Carmella ends in a No Contest

Not a bad match at all, but of course the Raw women showed up and caused problems. No, I take that back. Nikki beat up Charlotte without provocation, which prompted all the Raw girls to jump Nikki. Then for whatever reason, Carmella joined in to help Nikki! What the hell? Why? Why would Carmella, someone that hates Nikki stop a beat down? This made no sense. The cool spot, of course, was Nia Jax going through the barricade, which was rad, but other than that, this made no logical sense on either side of the coin.

American Alpha, The Hype Bros, The Usos & Breezango def. The Spirit Squad, The Vaudevillains, The Ascension & The Headbangers – 16-Man Tag Team Match

If you had to go to the bathroom, this was the one to go with. The crowd wanted Rhyno, but he wasn’t in the match. This was jobbers versus semi-jobbers, and it wasn’t that fun. I guess if you were there live and had a hot dog and beer, maybe it would’ve been more exciting.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Edge hosted “The Cutting Edge” with Team SmackDown LIVE

I was very surprised when the Cutting Edge show was the end of the show and that’s it. This was literally the end of Smackdown, and I was surprised to see such little amounts of wrestling on the show. I forgot what I was watching, because this sucked up a lot of the time. Edge hosted a lackluster show, and out came the Undertaker. Not a great ending.

Smackdown Live Final Thoughts

Smackdown was a horrible show, with 1 good match. The ending was interesting in that it sets up The Undertaker versus Aj Styles at the Royal Rumble, if you ask me. Of course, you didn’t ask me. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ambrose, Styles, and Undertaker put on a showcase leading to a Final 4 type match for Roadblock or Elimination Chamber.

If I’m going to fantasy book, let’s consider 1997 for a moment. I could see a final 4 in the Rumble being John Cena, Undertaker, Dean Ambrose, and Brock Lesnar. No clear winner found or something happens to be controversial, leading to a final four match in February and the ultimate winner being John Cena. The same thing that happened with the Final Four IYH ppv in which the results of the 1997 rumble led to a quality match to see who would face off in the main event at Wrestlemania 13.

Either way, Smackdown was awful, and that was that. Another week of wrestling done and done.

WWE No Mercy 2016 Review

Here are my personal thoughts on what went down at WWE No Mercy 2016.

The Hype Bros and American Alpha defeated The Ascension and The Vaudevillains

This pre-show match prompted my wife to say, “who the hell are these guys?”, and you know what, that’s about what every casual fan was saying. This match was fast, easy to get into, but I couldn’t help but wonder about The Vaudevillains. Remember when they had a great entrance and what not? Now they are nothing short of jobbers.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Aj Styles defeated Dean Ambrose and John Cena

Twenty minutes of fast paced action. This is a great overall match, but it was definitely hindered by opening. After watching the match again, I can truly say what I’ve been saying for a while, Dean Ambrose is resting on his laurels. Stone Cold Steve Austin is like Nostradamus, as I watch Ambrose put on the same match, and boring move set alongside John Cena. The only highlight here for me was Aj Styles putting the boots to both men, and getting the win after a cluster of an ending.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Nikki Bella defeated Carmella

I like the aggression of Carmella. I really love Carmella’s constant push against Nikki, and it reminds me of the old style wrestling feuds from the past. The heel constantly beating down the good guys until they fight back and pick up a win. Only to get beat down afterwards. This was good. I liked this match.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Usos

I’m done with Heath Slater and Rhyno. I’ve never been a fan of the USOS, so this match was nothing short of boring to me. Oh well.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Baron Corbin defeated Jack Swagger

Time to take a dump. This wasn’t fun at all. I was half way through a tall boy of Rolling Rock at this point.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Dolph Ziggler defeated The Miz

Perhaps the best match of the night, these two stole the show. Dolph was going to retire if he lost, and the two guys here put on a showcase of moves. From left to right, you went throughout the history of moves before Dolph finally won. This is a 19 minute opus of great wrestling, with lots of back and forth, interference, and more. I loved it. The Miz is definitely one hell of a wrestler, and lucky to have such a hot wife. As for Ziggler, what a show, I’m glad he has the title, but we all know it’s going to be short lived.

Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss

Basic Divas era match. You may not like that word, but remember, Revolution means a full rotation, so we’re back to that already.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Bray Wyatt defeated Randy Orton

This was the main event, and it was boring as well. Luke Harper showed up, and just showed up, Orton lost, and that was that. Orton is another jobber, and Wyatt, well, he gets a win for once.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Final Notes on No Mercy 2016

This was by far the worst PPV this year. I had to drink a tall boy of Rolling Rock to get through it. Otherwise, I was going to go to sleep. This is a boring line up, simple as that. I didn’t like it at all.
