WWE Monday Night Raw September 27, 2016 Results and Review Nothing Makes Sense Anymore

Best Part of Raw Was The Slap From Hell

This week on Monday Night Raw, the show throws all logic out of the window. There’s nothing on this show that makes sense to me, well, a few things, and I’ll talk about the memorable elements from last night’s show right here, right now, on the longest running episodic WWE Blog that no one reads.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 27, 2016 Review

Now, if you follow this blog, then you already know that I only watch the HULU edition, so that’s all I will discuss, at least the memorable elements, since this is a crap fest.

Roman Reigns is a face?

Roman Reigns and Rusev fought to a double count out. I don’t get the Reigns character at this point. He doesn’t seem enthused to have the U.S. Title, he beats up Rusev with a chair, and for what? Why is Rusev a heel here? Why is Reigns in the mid card? This whole situation is lackluster, and without any real heels to challenge the “face” Reigns, why does this continue? I don’t know. I expect Rusev and Reigns in a no dq or chairs match or something.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

The New Day defeated The Club Sandwich Boys

The Club is nothing more than a couple of idiots. They are as effective as a Club Sandwich. They suck. They lose again, and The New Day continues. I’m so tired of The New Day, and with another win, they seem to just keep milking the trio for all they have. Kofi Kingston got busted open the hard way, which was rough to see, but hey, he continued the match. The Club Sandwich boys looked like the Nasty Boys this time around, and again, they lose. This has been the worst treatment of a heel team in a long time. I’m tired of this division, it’s absolutely terrible.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Two Jobbers

Cesaro and Sheamus are now a tag team. What a B.S. way to get them into the mix of tag matches after a best of 7 series. I hate this. It’s stupid, I don’t want to see this, and well it happened. The jobbers get a nice payday, they get beat up, and we all go home happy.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Sasha Banks slapped the holy hell out of Charlotte

Holy crap. The best thing about this segment was that Sasha Banks slapped the holy hell out of Charlotte. Charlotte wasn’t looking and Sasha slapped her into next year. Banks says she’s the boss, yet she’s lost twice now. Bayley should interfere in their match next week, if you ask me.

T.J. Perkins defeated Tony Nese

How would I have booked this? Simple. Nese should’ve had Perkins down and in a pinning predicament, but Kendrick should’ve ran out and beat up Nese, and Perkins. He should’ve said that he should be getting a title shot, and that the championship is his! But that didn’t happen. That would’ve built a feud with Nese for interfering, and built a further point in the Perkins story, with 2 competitors fighting each other for a shot at the title, meanwhile Perkins could wrestle others. But nope. Logic is out, and Nese loses after showcasing incredible moves out there. The crowd was chanting CM Punk, so apparently they weren’t into this match.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho defeated Enzo and Cass

So let me get this straight, Enzo and Cass are just big mouthed losers? They are as good as the Club Sandwich boys. They lose again. Owens and Jericho continue to build, and the jobbers with mouths are lost in the shuffle yet again. Who cares?! This was a horrendous show, with a lackluster main event, but hey, that’s just my 2 cents.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Overall, Raw was lackluster on all levels. The sole exception was Stephanie McMahon stomping all over Mick Foley’s balls. She took them, showed them to him, then stomped them out. Great. The show wasn’t going to be about the GM’s and the Commissioners etc, oh well. Raw sucked. The debates were stupid, but that’s just my two cents.

WWE Smackdown 6/2/2016 Results and Review One Good Match

Another Smackdown came and went, and well, my stomach hurt. So I saw this, but didn’t pay as close of attention as I usually would, so this review comes with a side of intestinal distress.

WWE Smackdown 6/2/2016 Results and Review

The New Day showed up to start the show, and I hate talking openings. They get interrupted by The Club Sandwich guys. Then set up a match for later between Kofi Kingston and Aj Styles.

Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte via DQ

Becky Lynch came out, and I couldn’t help but notice that the WWE is piping in cheers for her, because the crowd wasn’t big on this. In fact, the more you listen to the Smackdown audio, the more you hear post production cheers when they would normally not get heard. It’s a sad state. The sound guys are getting whipped backstage, no doubt. Charlotte lost due to Dana Brook interference.

Natalya showed up and ran away the champ and her new buddy. That was that. I’m still waiting for this diva’s revolution because all I see is the same stale booking that made the “divas” division so boring.

The Dudley Boyz defeated The Golden Truth

Not a terrible match, not a good match, the match! I kid. This wasn’t terrible, but you knew what was going down. The Dudleys win, finally.

Sami Zayn and Dean Ambrose defeated Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio

I never understand the WWE’s latest crop of stars constantly doing suicide dives through the middle ropes. It’s dangerous, and everyone does it, so why it is special? This match was as good as you’d expect from these guys, and definitely a fun thing to watch. What bugged me about the show is the post production audio that is like watching a sitcom. It’s terrible. Other than that, good work, great back and forth, and a classic story of whether or not these teams can coexist, considering they are going to be wrestling one another at Money In The Bank. Of course, they couldn’t, and Del Rio knocked out Owens, before Zayn won after the HELLUVA kick on Del Rio.

After the match Kevin Owens was going to pull down the Money In The Bank briefcase but Cesaro came down and did it for him, after a really cool mid-rope twisting European Uppercut, in a SUIT no less. Cool spot.

Rusev defeated Jack Swagger

Swagger is still employed? Rusev wins, Swagger got some fight in, but it was Rusev that won yet again. I’m sure his feud with one half of the prime time players will come through and make him worth watching. Whatever. I don’t like Rusev. Boring match.

Aj Styles defeated Kofi Kingston

Good main event, P good even. Aj Styles picks up the win, but The New Day made The Club Sandwich guys look like a chump outside as they were beat up. Other than that, Kofi and Styles put together a good overall match, worth tracking down.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 10

The main event saved this one. Like most Smackdown shows, the main event was the only thing worth investing into, the rest, dull as usual. Maybe the brand split will bring new hype, but until then, this is kind of boring. 

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/30/2016 John Cena To Bury Aj Styles Next

Well, well, Monday Night Raw time again, and again I am watching it via HULU. I just completed a class for my master’s degree in Humanities and have just one left. We’ll see how it all goes. So let’s consider the showcase of Raw on Memorial Day, for no apparent reason.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/30/2016 Results and Review

Moment of silence and bell salute for Memorial Day started off the show. Classy WWE, classy.

The show started with the McMahon siblings showing up and talking about the draft. They were interrupted by none other than The New Day, and they wanted to know who gets to go where and what not. The New Day wanted a dance contest to figure out who would be in charge of Raw or Smackdown. Stephanie was going to dance, but out came the Vaudevillains.

The New Day defeated The Vaudevillains via disqualification

This match wasn’t half bad, a good back and forth match with lots of momentum going for the New Day. However, mid-match out came the Club sandwich guys, and they beat up The New Day. That led to a DQ finish. No finish is what I call it. The Club took out the tag champs, so I guess they are going to be booked to possibly get the titles, then lose them to the Usos because of course, Roman Reigns buried these guys already. Oh well.

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns Wasted Everyone’s Time

These idiots didn’t do much, say much and wasted all your time. Rollins kept running to the ring and stopping, and Reigns was in the middle of the ring. Ugh, what a load of garbage.

Michael Cole said, and I quote: “Rollins is going to need to fight Roman Reign” No S! What the hell!

Rusev defeated Zack Ryder

Zack Ryder got buried again. I wish I could get paid to lose. I’d lose daily. Not much of a match.

Titus O’neil showed up to challenge Rusev, this is the next feud. Sigh.

Enzo and Cass defeated The Dudley Boyz

The crowd was a bit tired in this match. The match was fine, back and forth, with The Dudleys doing the job for the young guys. It’s too predictable if you ask me. Competitive, sure, but you knew that Enzo and Cass wasn’t winning, simple as that.

John Cena cut a patriotic promo. Yep. Oh well. Tired.

Aj Styles came out, and turned heel, but let’s admit it here, AJ STYLES WILL BE BURIED BY JOHN CENA. Done and done. Styles beat up Cena, and I’m meh about all of this.

Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio, and Kevin Owens defeatedSami Zayn, Cesaro, and Dean Ambrose

I got déjà vu in this match. Do all Raw’s have to end with a six man? Or is it the Smackdown formula coming through again. Whatever the case is, this was fun to watch, but I just felt like I’ve seen it 100 times before. The good guys win, enough said. Boring to me, since I’ve seen it a million times before.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 10

This was not my favorite show. It had a little wrestling, but mind you, I’m watching the HULU version. I can’t afford cable. There was a few moments that were interesting, but overall, this match needed something more, not sure what, something a bit more helpful in creating a better overall wrestling feel. Then again, maybe they should hire the acrobats from NJPW since they are getting a lot of fanfare right now.

WWE Extreme Rules 2016 Predictions

This Sunday WWE is going Extreme, or as extreme as they can go in the PG era, or should I say the NEW ERA. Whatever the case is, this weekend is another PPV special event, or whatever they call it. With that in mind, here are my predictions for this weekend’s huge event, that will feature more burial of The Club and keeping Roman Reigns strong.

WWE Extreme Rules 2016 Predictions

The Vaudevillains defeats The New Day 

I think that the Vaudevillains need the win. However, the wild card here is to see Enzo Amore show up and cause the distraction and allow the New Day to get the win. But if not, the bygone era wins this one.

Charlotte defeats Natalya in a WWE Women’s Title match

Simply put, Charlotte wins. I still miss Sasha Banks.

Roman Reigns buries Aj Styles in the Extreme Rules Match

Look for some nice high spots, but Aj Styles is going to get buried here, and that’s going to end the show, and people will love to boo him, as JBL will say.

Rusev defeats Kalisto for the United States Championship

Rusev is going to win this one and go on a long term tear with the title, simple as that.

Baron Corbin defeats Dolph Ziggler

I’m hoping for Corbin to go strong here, and actually pick up the win, and end this feud once and for all. Ziggler should not win here, there’s no reason for him to win, and yet I have a sneaking suspicion that he may pull it off, but I’m still going Corbin for the win with the End of Days on a chair.

The Miz retains against Kevin Owens, Cesaro and Sami Zayn in an Intercontinental Championship 4-Way

This is going to be bad. A train wreck of bodies, with The Miz getting the win and staying the champion. 

Chris Jericho defeats Dean Ambrose in an Asylum Match  

As much as I like the idea of a Bowery Death Match, I mean an Asylum match, I think that Jericho is going to win, and then get sent straight to Roman Reigns to get buried on his way out of WWE for good.

The Club defeats The Usos

I expect The Club to get a win here, then show up in the main event to either cost Aj Styles the match or beat down Roman Reigns, who knows. Probably 50/50 booking here.

That’s it. My predictions for Extreme Rules, we’ll see what happens this Sunday on the WWE Network or PPV. 

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/16/2016 Results and Review What A Terrible Show

Image SRC WWE (Styles Belly Fat)

The WWE keeps saying that this is a new Era, but honestly, it’s just the same old crap recycled over and over again. How do I know this? Well, because Aj Styles cut a long promo about how he’s going to beat Reigns, and then Reigns said he was going to win, and this took up most of the beginning. This of course is the HULU edition I’m talking about as per usual.

Ok, so that wasn’t half bad, but we are led into a match that turns into an intercontinental tag team match.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/16/2016 Results and Review
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated The Miz and Cesaro

These guys are always fun to watch, and this was definitely cool to watch for the most part. The match was fast paced, and showcased the best of these 4, only cut short. The match ended when The Miz got pinned. Fair enough.

Dean Ambrose decided to challenge Chris Jericho to a Bowery Death Match, I mean A steel cage match with weapons, they are calling it an Asylum Match. Raven already did this, and way better!

The New Day showed up with a time machine and went back in time, which was boring. The Vaudevillains showed up and beat them up.

The Usos Buried The Club

So why am I supposed to believe that the Club are any good? They just got buried on Raw. This is how you put over talent? By having them buried outright on Raw? The Club is nothing more than a bunch of chumps, simple as that.

Afterwards The Club attacked Roman Reigns, and Aj Styles got involved. Then things went into chaos, and the best of this was that Styles hit Roman Reigns with the STYLES CLASH on a CHAIR! YES! This was a cool spot, but as we all know, it’s all about making Roman Reigns look strong so he’ll no doubt bounce back and win at Extreme Rules.
Alberto Del Rio defeated Kalisto

Alberto Del Rio defeated Kalisto

Alberto Del Rio was beating up Kalisto, and it wasn’t half bad of a match. But things got sinister when Rusev beat up Sin Cara backstage and forced Sin Cara to watch on the big screen. Meanwhile, this was a match going on. Alberto Del Rio won with the back stabber, and that was that. Champs are chumps. Rusev continued to beat up Sin Cara at ring side, and that was that. I’m tired of the champions aside from Roman Reigns looking weak.

Charlotte and Natalya had a contract signing. I hate these. I absolutely hate these. This just sucks up a lot of time for no reason. Oh and WHERE IS SASHA BANKS? So much for being THE BOSS. So much for the divas revolution. Do you know what revolution means? It’s cyclical. Stephanie is a face now? She slaps Ric Flair, and Charlotte attacks only to get hit with a sharpshooter. I’m so tired, this is dragging on, what a lousy way to waste time on Raw. This is the HULU version and it’s just so lame.

Overall Rating: 0 out of 10

This is by far one of the worst nights for Raw. This is the new era? Bullshit. This is the worst Raw I’ve seen in a long time. Ugh.

WWE Smackdown 5/12/2016 More of The Club and The Family

It is supposed to be a new era, but we keep getting thrown up matches over and over again. That being said, this edition of Smackdown featured a main event of The Club versus The Usos.

Now, I wanted to mention something real quick, and that’s the fact that I knew that Aj Styles had some back issues, and news has broken that he is trying to heal up from injuries etc. Yep, once again, WWE takes an indie guy and runs them into the ground into injury. Or perhaps I’m wrong. Whatever the case is, he wasn’t featured tonight. With that in mind, let’s discuss Smackdown’s main wrestling, and what not.

WWE Smackdown 5/12/2016 Review

Dean Ambrose opened up the show, and he went on a tirade against Jericho. But Jericho had the last laugh, as he showed up, knocked out Ambrose and then put him in a straight jacket. I honestly don’t care about this feud one iota. At all. Ambrose may get the win, he may lose, I don’t care about him, and his downward spiral since losing to Lesnar. Furthermore, Lesnar isn’t even coming back for a long time, so what is the WWE thinking?

Oh, and let’s talk about production. As Jericho was punching Ambrose, the camera work got really sloppy and moved in and out, up and down, and was stupid. The production values on some of these shows are horrendous. Ambrose fought back, but like I said, I don’t care about this feud one iota.

Rusev defeated Sin Cara

Kalisto was on commentary, and it was horrendous. Rusev got his win back by beating down Sin Cara. It was a competitive match, but it was definitely meant for Rusev to look strong. Lana distracted Kalisto at one point, and Rusev attacked him. Sin Cara is done, why isn’t he fired?

Dana Brooks defeated Becky Lynch

Once again, where’s Sasha Banks? I thought she was the boss? Whatever the case is, Lynch took on the debuting Dana Brooks. Brooks is hot, and she came out with Emma. This match got going fast, and then there was a distraction roll up, and all bets were off. Lynch loses. Divas revolution huh?

Aiden English defeated Kofi Kingston

Not a bad match, Aiden English was able to go toe to toe with Kofi, and it was fun to watch. English would win with a “stolen” victory as the commentary team stated, but eh, it was your standard win before the PPV.

The Usos defeated The Club via Disqualification

This was a competitive match, lots of back and forth, and then a disqualification finish, I think. Charis got involved, The Club beat down the Usos after the fact, and that was that. They looked strong here, but after the last couple of Raws they didn’t seem so grand. This night, however, they did seem much better, dominant, even. It’ll be interesting to see how this moves forward, that’s for sure.

Gorgeous Truth defeated Goldango

I’m honestly not sure what to say about this. Truth and Goldust had their partners turn on them. Tyler Breeze got the pin. I don’t know what’s going on, it was a melee. Short match, nothing really that grand here.

Kevin Owens and The Miz defeated Sami Zayn and Cesaro

Kevin Owens hates to lose, he doesn’t even want to lose weight! – The King

Now that’s the quote of the night.

As for this match, Zayn and Cesaro work well together, and the two put on some great moments. From flying outside of the ring, to going through their signature moves inside the ring, lots of greatness going through the motions of this match up. Kevin Owens hit a huge frog splash on Cesaro for the win. This was a shining light for Smackdown, but not enough to save it all. This was the only thing worth checking out on the night. Great work from these four guys.

Overall Rating: 6 out of 10

This was a throwaway show. I could’ve gone without watching it, honestly. There’s nothing too memorable that happened here, so I can’t really tell you to watch it. Sure, there was some ok build up, and some ok wrestling, but more than anything, it was just filler.

10 WTF Moments WWE Raw 5/9/2016 By Professor Dune

Hello out there on the internet, here I am, your Professor of Pro Wrestling, with a new set of WTF moments from WWE Monday Night Raw. This was a stinker of a show, and if you disagree, well then you’re under the age of 25, and you should be sprayed with Rick Martel’s Arrogance fragrance.

10. You Never Call The Action Magul! – JBL

Not sure if JBL went off script here, but it was a highlight moment as he got mad, and just went nuts on Michael Cole. At certain points, you can even here Byron and Michael ask JBL to calm down on the mic.

9. Let’s Go Roman CHANTS

This was NOT piped in. The crowd was going insane, and were chanting “Let’s Go Roman”, to the tune of 10,000 plus fans.

8. Booing Aj Styles

The world has certain turned, as Aj Styles was legitimately getting booed against Roman Reigns, holy crap.

7. The Club

They are not the Good Brothers, they are THE CLUB. Now, I love a good Club Sandwich, but this club, still reminds me of 1992 Nasty Boys.

6. A Potted Plant Is More Over Than Dean Ambrose

I was going to say hell no, then Jericho put up a lot of tweets and MEMES that shows the fact that yes, Dean Ambrose isn’t as over as a damn house plant!

5. Stephanie McMahon tells Jericho that nothing can drive a wedge between her and Shane McMahon. Then later Shane McMahon says that their relationship isn’t that good!

WTF, seriously, WWE what a lackluster attention span.

4. Summer Rae is going to be visiting Space Mountain as she states on Twitter.

Seriously, Summer Rae with what I can only assume is a fallatio reference on Twitter.

3. Rusev Gets Rolled Up by Sin Cara

Last week we got a strong Rusev, and this week, he’s getting rolled up by a lucha-jobber. So much for eating Kalisto’s heart. Looks like you’ll get NOTHING. NOTHING!

2. A Distraction Roll Up In The Semi-Main Event!

Anderson rolls up one of the USOS thanks to a distraction roll up, and Roman Reigns claims he saw it, and that he’s going to make Anderson pay. Nope, Nope, Roman you were on the floor idiot, the camera shots all confirm. Moron.

1. An Elimination Occurred during a commercial break?!? What the Hell?

There you have it, 10 WTF moments that I, Professor Dune spotted this week. Now, back to your regularly scheduled blogging. Oh, and You’re Welcome!

Oh, and one last thing, Jericho's jacket isn't worth that much, it's worth more! $25,000 Dollars! Holy Crap. This is a feud over a jacket and a potted plant, a new era right? Yeah.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/9/2016 Same Old McMahon Crap

All Images WWE.Com

What a load of garbage. Shane and Stephanie are running things? Yet the show was 60% talking. Less wrestling, even for a 90 minute HULU edition! Holy crap was this a lackluster showcase. I don’t know how they keep pushing this BS, and yet they call it a new Era!? What the hell? Ok, let’s go into this review. Monday Night Raw from somewhere, I don’t remember, and we get a full run down of talking, matches, and insanity.

WWE Monday Night Raw 5/9/2016 Results and Review

The Highlight Reel started and was interrupted by Big Cass, setting up a match for the main event between Chris Jericho and Big Cass later in the show. This of course wouldn’t happen, but let’s get into the meat and potatoes of this evening’s Raw. I wish it was war.

Paige Defeated Charlotte

I know what this sounds like, but it wasn’t. Charlotte lost because of a distraction, thanks to Ric Flair getting escorted out of the ringside area, and Natalya on commentary and interfering, or rather distracting Charlotte. Paige wins an ok matchup, but nothing that grand. It was ok, ok at best, sorry. I just want to know where Sash Banks is?

Sami Zayn defeated The Miz

Zayn won a competitive match, once again proving that The Miz can really wrestle. This was a great overall brawl, wrestling match, with Zayn doing everything he could to stop Miz. This one ended with Miz going down and letting Sami Zayn get the win so that he could get into the Extreme Rules Intercontinental Championship match. Good battle, a highlight of the show.

Roman Reigns and The Usos defeated The Club via Disqualification

This again made Roman look strong and the Usos looking like chumps. The Club, as they are now called, once again couldn’t put away Reigns. This is a lot like the time the NWO came into the WWE. I’m tired of seeing burials, and that’s what this was. The club getting buried again, desperation cheating with a chair, and Roman and Aj setting up a blood feud. I smell a swerve. Oh and no Finn Balor, idiots.

Kevin Owens defeated Zack Ryder

Ryder continues to get buried, simply put. Sorry Ryder, you’re done.

The Dudley Boyz defeated The New Day

This match was not half bad, and it was another testament to how good the Dudleys are right now. The Vaudevillains came down and beat down the New Day after the match, and well, the Dudleys looked strong, the Vaudevillains looked strong, and all things good in the tag team division for once.

Dean Ambrose beat up Chris Jericho when making his entrance, stole his jacket, caused Big Cass to not have his match with Jericho, and tore up the 15,000 dollar jacket that Jericho wears. This is the epitome of how terrible the old era was, and how dumb this new era is.

Overall Rating: 4 out of 10

This was an abysmal Raw, even on HULU. So bad. I didn’t like it, you shouldn’t like it. Oh and guess what? Roman Reigns was getting super chants? And according to Aaron at NODQ.com, they weren’t piped in. F this noise.

Until next time, this has been a Raw review from HULU. Now, I wish I had the full show, because there was a lot of wrestling that I didn’t see.
