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

WWE Smackdown Live - Source WWE

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

Carmella and R Truth defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

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

The New Day Cooking Show

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

Randy Orton vs Tye Dillinger

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

Shelton Benjamin defeated Daniel Bryan

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

Asuka defeated Peyton Royce

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

Becky Lynch Ends The Show

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

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

Kofi Kingston Gets Throw Into Ladder - Source WWE

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

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

Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy by DQ

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

Peyton Royce defeated Naomi

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

Becky Lynch Promo

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

Rusev and Lana defeated Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega

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

AJ Styles Promo

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

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

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

WWE Smackdown Live August 7, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Shows It Is Still A B

Big E Punches Hard - Source WWE

Smackdown opened up with wrestling. I kid, no it didn’t, it opened with Randy Orton talking, for about 7 minutes. I didn’t care for this, and I don’t know anyone that wants more talking with their wrestling. That led to the Bar backstage talking about their match upcoming, and then showed off Becky Lynch and Charlotte backstage.

Charlotte and Becky Lynch defeated The Iconics

Well, that’s the end of the Iconics if you ask me. Lynch and Charlotte proved to be the superior team here, and if you watch closely, you can see that Becky Lynch is on another level compared to the other women, even Flair. She’s fast, and she is crisp, and throws down like she’s been wrestling forever, which is great. She’s got great timing, and looks amazing in ring, which made this match fun to watch. Charlotte would get the win with her Figure 8.

After the women’s match we got a promo from Aj Styles, and no more wrestling.

Zelina Vega defeated Lana

There was two major plot points during this lackluster women’s match. There was a story brewing between Rusev and Cien Almas as they were fighting on the outside. But then there was Aiden English, who ran in to help Rusev take out Cien Almas, but caused the defeat of Lana by Vega. This is going to split up English and Rusev, which is a stupid thing, but that’s how things progress. This wasn’t a great match, although Zelina Vega is gorgeous.

After this match, guess what? More talking! It was Byron Saxon interviewing The Miz. Sigh.

The highlight with the Miz interview was Daniel Bryan showing up on the set of Miz’s show, and beating him down, only to get hit in the head with a glass flower vase. Yeah, let’s hit the guy that has multiple concussions with a hard object, shattering it. Good job. This was a good segment, but blood would’ve made it better.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated R Truth

Truth made this match score big with me. He’s so good at his age, and he’s just stellar in ring. He put on a great deal of offense, for a short match, but Nakamura would eventually put the armbar in place, causing a great deal of slow down from the frenetic pace that Nakamura wanted. After the rope break, Nakamura started to drop some bombs.

The New Day defeated The Bar

Well, the Bar is done. A good match, don’t get me wrong. The two teams were able to put on a great match together, but that led to The New Day winning again. That’s good for them, as they will have another shot at the tag belts, when they face off against the Bludgeon Brothers. However, the New Day will end up losing out if you ask me. The Bar is done, now, aren’t they?

That was Smackdown. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. There was a lot more talking than I would like, but hey, that’s what happens a lot of the time.

WWE Smackdown Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Featuring Hell No

Ellsworth Escapes - SRC WWE dot com

Smackdown Live was in my school's arena, and I wasn't able to go. But hey, there was a good night of wrestling planned, too bad it didn't turn out the way it was advertised, at least not at first. I'll get to all of that.

WWE Smackdown Live July 11, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with MIZTV, and of course it would, why not? The Miz brought out Team Hell No, and the crowd was in an uproar. I'm personally tired of this already, but I guess nostalgia is what it is sometimes. The new Hell No team shirt is stupid. Can't Kane just go be mayor now?

Daniel Bryan wanted to beat up Miz, but Kane stopped him, and then we saw some back and forth about Kane and what not. Then Miz got nearly choked out by Kane, before the Bludgeon Brothers came out and Sanity stormed the ring. They started to beat down Kane and Bryan, and the show began with a brawl featuring all the bad guys against Kane and Daniel Bryan. It was just a beat down until The New Day ran down to make the save.

Shinsuke Nakamura and Aj Styles were ready to battle, but after they made their introductions, out came Rusev and Aiden English.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Aj Styles ended in a no contest

This wasn't that bad of a match at all, and it really just had a lot of back and forth. It was a good option, but things got a bit difficult when Aiden English got involved. Aj Styles hit him hard, then Rusev jumped Aj, and that led Nakamura to team up with the bad guys to beat up AJ. But that's when Jeff hardy ran out and tried to mop things up. Hardy beat up Rusev and Nakamura, and then Paige came out and said that we are going to have a straight up tag match! Just like Teddy Long would create! I kid you not.

Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jeff Hardy and Aj Styles

This was a short match, it was not that great. But it served to get the bad guys a win before the big PPV this weekend. It was a good little match, for what it was, and it had a few back and forth elements. I didn't mind the loss for the good guys, but I doubt that either one is going to win this weekend. Well, maybe Nakamura will get gold, but other than that, I don't know what's going to go on at the PPV. As for this match, it was fine, an ok television match, so there's that.

Asuka defeated James Ellsworth in a Lumberjack Match

Well, this was shorter than I thought, and it ended like I thought it would end. Asuka made Ellsworth tap out, and that was that. Nothing big here. Afterwards Carmella attacked Asuka.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Sin Cara

This was a fast paced, short match. Sin Cara had a few moments, but it was mostly the showcase of Andrade Cien ALmas, and that's it. He won with his finisher and that was the end. Nothing fancy, a big win, and that's it.

Team Hell No and The New Day defeated Sanity and The Bludgeon Brothers

This wasn't a great match, but it worked out like nearly all 10 man tag team matches that I have seen. The good guys were all over the bad guys, and of course the Fan Favorites needed to look strong going into the PPV, so they won. Everyone hit their finishers, Team Hell No and The New Day were getting a lot of praise, and that was that. Nothing major here, just a lot of fast paced finishing moves, and the Yes Chants. A fun, fast paced match, no doubt, but honestly, it just left me with the feeling of, meh.

The B show is all that Smackdown is to me. Almas finally got a match, which was great. No sign of Tye Dillinger, though, and others that were drafted. The women's revolution is back to full circle, beating up a random stooge, and that's that. Oh well.

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 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 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.

Jinder Mahal Standing Tall - SRC WWE dot com 

Another week, another Smackdown that showed off the same old BS.

WWE Smackdown Live February 18, 2018 Results and Review

The opening match was supposed to be Ziggler and Corbin, but it never started. Owens and Zayn beat up Corbin. But where was Tye Dillinger? Oh well.

Charlotte Flair defeated Sarah Logan

Lots of people thought this was the worst match of the week, but I liked this. Flair was good, and was able to carry Sarah Logan during this match, and it was fun to watch for me. I liked the way it all went down, and eventually it ended with Flair spiking Logan and getting the win. I didn’t hate this match, and though that Flair really did well with Logan, and that finale was great.

Baron Corbin defeated Kevin Owens

This was ok, and Owens lost, so Corbin gets into the main event of Fastlane. I’m bored with this.

Bobby Roode’s Open Challenge

Nothing happened here besides a bunch of people answering and no match happening. Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal came in, and it was Jinder Mahal that ended up getting the biggest pop here with his finisher on everyone.

The New Day defeated Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable

This was boring. The New Day won.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Sami Zayn

This was a boring match for me, and I knew who would win. Sami Zayn loses, and that’s that.

Smackdown is so predictable right now, and yet they have so much talent. Tye Dillinger should be running in to interfere because he lost his title shot, but here we are, no Tye Dillinger yet again. The top 10 rankings are BS too. This whole show felt awful.

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.

Charlotte Flair is A Pure Queen - Source WWE dot com 

WWE Clash of Champions is the last pay per view event in 2017 and it was live from Boston. I was planning on going, but got sick, and decided against it. That makes another year that I didn’t go to see WWE live in person, and that is just something that happens, what can I say? Life gets in the way as you get older. The show was smooth, and I only drank one beer through this one, although I did have a lot of pizza, which I shouldn’t have, but it’s the holidays.

WWE Clash of Champions 2017 Results and Review

Mojo Rawley defeated Zack Ryder

This was a brawl where Mojo just beat down Zack Ryder until he pinned him. It was a one sided affair for the most part, and Mojo was hitting absolutely harder than Ryder was. A good starter, and a nice opening for Mojo to get through.

Dolph ZIggler defeated Baron Corbin, and Bobby Roode for the United States Championship

Here you go, a nice round of expertise, with a lot of action, and great back and forth. Roode had a great deal of fighting, Corbin was able to reverse things here and there, but it was Ziggler that was able to pull off a big victory here. Ziggler was on fire throughout, but Roode and Corbin put on a few great moments too. I was surprised how good Corbin looked here, and of course I didn’t call Ziggler winning.

The Usos defeated The New Day, Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin, and Rusev with Aiden English in a Fatal 4-Way

This was an all out brawl with a lot of action, and some impressive elements. Chad Gable did an incredible job, and reminded me of Chris Benoit. He was pulling through some amazing suplexes on everyone! I was impressed, I just can’t say enough about him. The Usos are on fire, and I wish they would fight The Young Bucks, they are that good, and they need more competition.

Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya in a Lumberjack Match

This wasn’t great, it was awkward, and it was boring. Flair did her usual spots, and Natalya had a few moments, but it was far from a great showing for the two. I didn’t like the match, and the lumberjacks didn’t add much to it. Flair wins, and afterwards Natalya starts crying.

Bludgeon Brothers defeated Breezango

This was a fast match, and it was pretty much a burial. There’s not much to say about this.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn defeated Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton

This was an awkward, wrestlecrap showcase of tom foolery. Why? Because Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon were the in ring referees! After some screw jobs by Shane, and after a few moments where Bryan was pushed over at one point, a fast count won the match for Owens and Zayn, and that’s that. It was nice while it lasted, but this was just odd to watch. It was like a carnie type of show.

Aj Styles defeated Jinder Mahal in the WWF Championship

Here we go, the title match to end all title matches. This featured the modern day maharaja, and well, Jinder Mahal put on a show beating down Aj Styles for a great push through the match. It wasn’t that bad, it wasn’t terrible, and well it ended with Aj Styles winning big, and that’s it.

The show was ended nicely, and I went to bed. It’s not a memorable thing, I just didn’t care. I just didn’t care, so that’s the end of that. Where was Tye Dillinger? So much for being the perfect 10.

Tamina vs Charlotte Flair - SRC wwe dot com

The showcase of the immortals was in San Diego, and it wasn’t that fun to watch, unless you loved the teams and random action. I thought the show flowed well, but there is definitely a lackluster element to this week’s show. However, I did like a few things here and there. Once again, I’m reviewing the HULU version, since I’m on the road in Las Vegas.

WWE Smackdown Live December 5, 2017 Results and Review

The starting line of the show was Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn going to the ring and cutting a promo, only to get Randy Orton to show up and hit Owens with an RKO, out of nowhere. That led to Shane McMahon showing up and talking about the show, and the match that will take place in the main event. We’ll go forward.

Rusev and Aiden English defeated The New Day

The New Day came out throwing around pancakes into the crowd, I kid you not. They were throwing pancakes out, and it wasn’t half bad. The match was ok, it wasn’t incredible, but it didn’t suck either. Rusev and Aiden English did manage to fight a better option than the New Day and would even get a nice win for their trouble. They will be added to the Tag Team title match at the next PPV, so it will be quite interesting overall to see how everything goes down.

Bobby Roode defeated Baron Corbin via DQ

This was a lousy match, and I didn’t like it at all. Roode was going through simple motions, but it was Dolph Ziggler that interfered and caused the match to get thrown out. The match was ok, the guys are good in singles matches sometimes, but this was obviously just to setup a triple threat match for the PPV. I’m sure the match will be good, but you’ll probably see Ziggler lose again, as per usual.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated Adam James and Josh Carr

This was a burial of two jobbers. Nothing else.

Charlotte Flair defeated Tamina

The commentary team kept saying that Tamina was the strongest woman in the WWE, and well, she wasn’t. Charlotte Flair got the win here, and that’s really all you need to know. It was a boring match to say the least.

Randy Orton defeated Sami Zayn

Kevin Owens was handcuffed at ringside. It was funny to see him squirm for the most part, and well it seemed like he wasn’t going to be there for long. He kept fighting it, but eventually had to or he’d be suspended. Well, eventually Zayn brought out some wire cutters and that prompted Owens to get free, and help Zayn, only for Orton to get the upper hand anyways, and get the big win. Orton would win, Zayn would lose, and that was that.

After the match, they announced that Shane McMahon would be the special guest referee for a tag match which would feature Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton versus Owens and Zayn, and if the duo didn’t win, they’d be fired.

That was a result of Shinsuke Nakamura running down to the ring and saving Orton from a beat down.

Overall, not a great night of wrestling, but not the worst night either. It was a quick show, and it ended well enough, but I feel like there’s so many other talents on the roster that you don’t see, like the Perfect 10? What about Mike Kinellis? Where’s Everyone else?

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 September 13, 2017 Results and Review McMahon Show Featuring Wrestlers

Breaking Kendo Sticks - SRC WWE DOT COM

Well, if you ever have a negative thing to say about Vince McMahon, you can now shut the hell up. I’m going to, and you may want to do the same. Why? Well, we will get to this night of Smackdown, live from Las Vegas. I should’ve gone, but eh, I didn’t get to go this time. I did think about it, though, but it just didn’t happen. So let’s get into this showcase of the immortals, or rather, the boring things that happened and the exciting things that also happened.

Kevin Owens Took over

Kevin Owens wasn’t playing around last week when he said he was going to takeover the show, because he certainly did this time around. He showed up and was taking over from the moment he came out to the ring. He was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler at one point, and he praised him. That of course led to the rest of the show, in which Owens would have backstage interactions, and was claiming to be taking over the show or he was going to sue.

Aj Styles defeated Tye Dillinger in the United States Championship Open Challenge

Did you really think that Tye Dillinger was going to get the win here? He did put up a good fight against Aj Styles, but it wasn’t at all what you would call a 4 star classic. In fact, the match went on slightly less time than I imagined it would have gone, and it even had a run in with Baron Corbin. Corbin was able to knock some sense into the two combatants, and wake up Aj Styles because he definitely got some shots from Dillinger. Dillinger pinned the champ a few times, but he couldn’t get that 3, and of course Styles would turn things around and boom, the calf crusher made Dillinger tap out. What a push for Dillinger? The best loser to come through NXT, eh? What a shame.

Jinder Mahal Goes Racist

Jinder Mahal came out and was super racist with running down Nakamura. I guess that’s cool? I don’t know. I like Jinder Mahal’s shirts, and I did like the Singh brother’s comedy act, but this was a bit much. This didn’t need to be on the show at all.

The New Day defeated The Usos in a Sin City Street Fight for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles

The new Day was supposed to be outgunned here but they weren’t because The Usos came at them like it was Day One Ish! See what I did there? Either way, the New Day put on a showcase, and The Usos beat the holy hell out of Big E and Kofi Kingston. The end was going to be similar to that of Summerslam, but alas, things turned out good for the New Day as they were able to garner a pinfall after a lot of punishment. Chairs, kendo stick breaking, and tables all made this match quite good, and of course, the two teams have great chemistry together. The New Day are the new champions! This wasn’t my favorite street fight of all time, but it was good. I think the Cactus Jack and Max Payne street fight with the Nasty Boys was better.

Natalya defeated Naomi in the Smackdown Women’s Championship Match

This wasn’t a great match. It was rushed, and it seemed like they just didn’t give the women enough time to tell a good story. However, James Ellsworth and Carmella were playing a dom and sub thing, and got in the face of Naomi at one point. It didn’t matter, Natalya won with the sharpshooter and that’s the end of this feud, right?

Dolph Ziggler Made Fun of People

This was dumb.

Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable defeated The Hype Bros.

This was a fast match where Shelton did all the work, and the Hype Bros. just lost. It looked like one of them may be turning heel? I don’t know, this division sucks right now. Shelton looked great though.

Kevin Owens Beat Down Vince McMahon

The highlight of this wasn’t the announcement of the Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens in a Hell in the Cell Match. Sadly. Owens head butted Vince hardway, and then dropped his weight on him from the top, as well as busting open Vince. That brought out Stephanie McMahon dressed like a power ranger, and that was that. I hope Owens goes to the indies, this is a lame feud to me, and this show was lackluster, with only 1 good match, and the rest being filler. Sadly, this is the B show.

WWE Battleground 2017 Results and Review I Am Way Late Peeps

Holy Crap! - SRC WWE.com

SRC WWE.com - Singh Brothers Worked Their Ass Off Folks

I have to apologize for being so late this week in reviewing the PPV from the weekend. I had a few days off from watching wrestling after the show because it really made me question why I even watch any longer. It’s really that bad. This event was possibly one of the worst shows I’ve ever seen, but you already know that. I am not supposed to be drinking these days, as I’m on depression medication, but I had to get a New Castle to get through this one. Let’s discuss this showcase of well, entertainment, if you can call it that.

Aiden English defeated Tye Dillinger

I love Tye Dilllinger, but you’ll find he’s getting buried all the time. Remember the pop he got at the Royal Rumble? Well that’s gone. Aiden English won this match, and it was a hard hitting one. I was making a pizza when this started, but it wasn’t half bad. I liked it. English finally gets a win, but I miss the pop that Gotch and English got with Blue Pants in Nxt.

The New Day defeated The Usos

Perhaps the best match of the night, with a lot of fighting, kickouts, and great reversals. However, the New Day’s schtick is tired to me. This was a fun match, no doubt, and it’s the best match of the night.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Baron Corbin

Another boring match. These guys didn’t have chemistry together. It was really bad. Corbin loses with a low blow, done and done.

Natalya won a 5 way dance

This was a fast moving, elimination match. It was tired, and I didn’t understand the pacing or the results. It’s a terrible showing for the women, with the exception of Natalya and Becky Lynch.

Kevin Owens defeated Aj Styles

This was a boring match. I was shocked at how bored I was, and the failed finish was terrible.

Breezango gets beat down.

Um, ok.

John Cena defeated Rusev (Flag Match)

This was fun, but John Cena winning was so obvious. Rusev worked his ass off here, and I loved his intensity and look. But you knew that Cena was going to win.

Sami Zayn defeated Mike Kanellis

This was boring. I couldn’t believe it.

Jinder Mahal defeated Randy Orton in a Punjabi Prison Match

The Singh brothers were amazing here. I loved them, and hope one day to meet them. They took on some serious bumps. Much props to Orton too, he looked legitimately injured at one point. I also loved how he was giving it to Jinder at some points. Great Khali came out and wow, I popped huge, and then he helped Jinder, winning the match. Terrible match, but nice surprise at the end. Props to the Singh brothers, wow.

Overall, Battleground was bad. Really bad. But there were a few bright spots that make this not as terrible as some of the things I’ve sat through in my life as a wrestling fan.

WWE Smackdown Live June 27, 2017 Results and Review The Second Women’s Money In The Bank

Ellsworth Got Crotched - SRC wwe.com 

The HULU edition of Smackdown was great, as it was the full show, with no filler. I’m sure there are edits between what was originally broadcasted and the show that was shown on HULU, but I don’t know the difference, really. So let’s get to this better show than usual, albeit not perfect as I have to ask a few questions.

WWE Smackdown Live June 27, 2017 Review

Where was American Alpha?

Where is Tye Dillinger?

Daniel Bryan banned James Ellsworth from the arena

The show opened up with Daniel Bryan announcing the main event, and then getting yelled at by Ellsworth. Ellsworth was subsequently banned from the building so that the fight would be fair during the main event ladder match. The crowd was nuts for this, and that’s a good thing.

The Usos defeated The Hype Bros

Just as this said, The Usos defeated the Hype Bros and that’s the end of that. It was a fast match and the ending came faster than I thought. If you blinked, you missed this one.

SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi defeated Lana

This was another short match. Lana was quickly defeated, even though she hit Naomi with her finisher. Too bad, Lana just got buried.

Randy Orton caused chaos and called out Jinder Mahal

Orton cut a promo and was given a match with Jinder. However, it was announced that it would be a Punjabi Prison Match….sigh.

Baron Corbin def. Sami Zayn

Not a bad match at all, Corbin put the boots to Zayn, and it looked like he was going to lose this one, but nope, he hit a sick End of Days and put Zayn down. Zayn loses again.

Carmella won the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match to become Ms. Money in the Bank

Lots of action in this match. I loved it. It was a great overall match that had a lot of back and forth, lots of falls, and lots of ladder hits. Ellsworth showed up at the end of the match and tried to get involved again, but Becky Lynch toppled the ladder and he fell onto the top rope, crotch first! Carmella finally got extreme and brought in a chair, beat down Lynch, and climbed up to get the ladder, which was an awesome thing to see. Carmella won this thing outright this time, and that’s the end of the night.

Smackdown was concise, fun to watch, and had a great ending for once. I like Carmella, so there.

WWE Smackdown Featured A Nonsensical Burial - src wwe.com

If you think that Smackdown is anything but the B show, you’re absolutely delusional. With this latest shake up, the brand is absolutely dumbfounding. It’s perhaps the worst roster I’ve seen in a while, and that’s not hyperbole. I’ll get to that in the review, but wow, what a lackluster show.

WWE Smackdown April 11, 2017 Review

“There will always be a spot for you on Raw Sami” – Kurt Angle

The opening of the show had Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens show up as part of the shake up. This comes 24 hours after Kurt Angle told Sami Zayn that there was a spot for him on Raw. Kevin Owens shows up in a suit and tie, without his trademark pubic hair beard. Scott Steiner commented on this, “He’s Fat!”.

Randy Orton vs. Erick Rowan (No Contest)

What a waste of a match. Erick Rowan was buried last week, and he was on his way to the burial plot this week. Bray Wyatt came on the screen and said that he was going to take the title from Orton at the House of Whores match. Oh, it’s not whores? I’m being told that it’s HORRORS. Oh well.

The Usos defeated American Alpha (Title Match)

No one cared about this. I didn’t, and neither did the guys in the match, as they were phoning it in. The same moves you’ve seen 100 times before, and the Usos pretend that they are important on a brand that didn’t even put them on the Wrestlemania card. This was ok at best. Fun little match, American Alpha are floundering on Smackdown.

Post-match the Puerto Ricans showed up and showed off that they were the dominant team now. I guess they aren’t inviting people to the Shining Stars resort anymore?

Mojo Rawley defeated Jinder Mahal

Jinder My Balls, just 24 hours after injuring Finn Balor gets a chance to wrestle Mojo Rawley and get buried. Jinder My Balls, according to many sources, is set to get a huge push, and I don’t know why, honestly.

Charlotte Flair and Tamina are Now In The Women’s Division

It was announced that Charlotte Flair and Tamina are now in the women’s division on Smackdown. There are only 6 women on this show, what a revolution, right?

Tye Dillinger defeated Aiden English

Tye Dillinger buried Aiden English. He’s a 7 at best in this match.

Shinsuke Nakamura still cannot speak English

Shinsuke Nakamura interrupted Dolph Ziggler, and could barely speak. He couldn’t even say his full name without making R’s L’s and that’s not a good sign for ESL.

The New Day Is Announced

The New Day is now coming to Smackdown, and I don’t care.

Aj Styles defeated Baron Corbin and Sami Zayn for a U.S. Title Shot

The main event should have been huge, but it wasn’t that grand. In fact, it was kind of boring. Aj Styles is always fun to watch, and Corbin with Zayn was good. However, why would Styles want the United States Title? Honestly, why? There’s no reason why he should be chasing a secondary title. He wins this one, mind you. A decent match, no doubt.

Wait.

What if Randy Orton loses to Bray Wyatt. That means that the WWE Title would go to Raw, and Smackdown’s highest title will be the United States title! Holy crap! You read it here first.

WWE Monday Night Raw April 11, 2017 Results and Review 7 Burials of Raw

Look At The Wheel, Morons, They Can't Make Anything Look Real - SRC wwe.com

Why did this night feel like it was 9 hours long? I watched a version that I found on Youtube, without commercials, and it still felt like it was too long, without any of the commercials. As you may know the WWE claimed there was going to be a shake up going on, and well, they did shake things up. However, it was more like a kid shaking up a soda and then opening it. You’ll find out as I try to make sense of all of this b.s. that the company is throwing at us. Including some nonsensical moves, that just seems, well, special.

Sami Zayn defeated The Miz (Burial Number 6)

WWE Monday Night Raw April 11, 2017 Review

With the shake up tonight, there were a lot of burials. Don’t believe me? Well let’s consider this night of Raw, which seemed to last 9 hours!

Dean Ambrose came out and thought that John Cena was really in the ring, but it was The Miz. The show started with two acquisitions. It was dumb. Dean Ambrose is playing goofy Ambrose.

The Revival defeated The New Day (BURIAL)

The Revival took a lot of boots from The New Day. The New Day showed up with a Kofi Kingston blow up doll. The Revival would win, after a back and forth bout, and that’s the end. The New Day is buried, and will most likely be on Smackdown, if you ask me.

Big Show knocked out Curt Hawkins (Burial Number 2)

Curt Hawkins got buried. I hated it. I like Curt Hawkins.

Tj Perkins defeated Austin Aries (Burial Number 3)

Austin Aries, the number one contender, lost to Tj Perkins. Perkins is great, don’t get me wrong, but he has been on a losing streak for some time. This seems odd to me. Good match though. Possibly best of the night.

Nia Jax defeated Charlotte Flair (Burial Number 4)

Charlotte Flair must be going to Smackdown. She was buried tonight.

Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal (Burial Number 5)

Finn Balor buried JInder my Balls, and Bray Wyatt announced that he was going to take him on. Finn Balor will beat Wyatt, and Mahal is buried yet again.

Sami Zayn defeated The Miz (Burial Number 6)

The Miz got buried by Sami Zayn. Wow. So much for that jump.

Dean Ambrose defeated Kevin Owens (Burial Number 7)

Michael Cole said, “Ambrose buries Kevin Owens with dirty deeds”, and that’s that. It was bad. Dean Ambrose continues to wrestle the same match over and over again.

Also, Roman Reigns was buried by Strowman. People cheered Strowman. Strowman will get his burial later, as Reigns is NOT going to lose that feud. This night seemed like 9 hours of Raw. I’m tired. The Shield is back.

Old Man Undertaker In A Match You Don't Want To See

Chicago was the home to a sell out crowd for Monday Night Raw. I wanted to bang my head against the wall. I didn’t want to watch this after the women’s match. But let’s get to exploring this from a long time’s fan perspective. With that in mind, here are the results and review of Monday Night Raw from March 6, 2017.

WWE Monday Night Raw March 6, 2017 Review

The opening of the show had Jericho getting a super ovation, then Kevin Owens coming out to cut a promo. That led to Samoa Joe coming out to beat up Jericho and Kevin Owens to join in. Sami Zayn ran into save the day, and that set up the matches for this show.

Kevin Owens def. Sami Zayn

Remember when WWE was talking about Owens and Zayn would only have one last match and never again? Nope. They lied. They lied about it, and well here you go. Owens and Zayn one more time in a 5 minute match where the fat man wins. Not a bad match, but not that good either.

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville def. Rich Swann

These two put on the best match of the night. Swann and Neville are absolutely great here. I loved it. The two put on an entertaining match, even though the WWE shoved 2 commercials in between the match and only let them go for about 5 minutes tops.

Brock Lesnar confronted Universal Champion Goldberg

Goldberg got an F5 and that was that. Ok. I still hope for Goldberg to squash Lesnar again.

Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson def. Enzo Amore and Big Cass via Disqualification

This match was interesting at first glance, but of course it got all messed up. This ended with a disqualification because Cesaro and Sheamus showed up and got coffee spilled on them. Oh well. This sets up a match next week for Enzo and Cass against The Club Sandwich Boys.

Akira Tozawa def. Ariya Daivari

A fast match with Tozawa yelling. This wasn’t that great.

The New Day def. The Shining Stars

The Shining Stars again buried. Why even have a tag team from Puerto Rico if you’re just going to bury them?

Sasha Banks def. Raw Women's Champion Bayley to make the Raw Women’s Championship Match a Triple Threat at WrestleMania

Sasha Banks beat Bayley to get into a triple threat match at Mania. Oh swell, another one of these. Banks is on a roll, no sign of Nia Jax though! What the hell?

Triple H addressed Seth Rollins' rehabilitation

Seth Rollins looking good. Triple H mocking CM Punk’s lawsuit.

Samoa Joe def. U.S. Champion Chris Jericho via Count-out

A boring match with a count out finish, that’s the end of wrestling on this night of Raw.

Roman Reigns confronted The Undertaker

The Undertaker came down and got in the face of Reigns. Old man vs. New Guy? Look for Reigns to win against Taker at Mania.

This night on Raw, a lot of questions were not answered. The continuity is thrown out. The matches were short, and we are on the way to Wrestlemania in a mine cart in the dark. I hope things go well, we will all watch it. Lots of people are mad right now online. I’m not. But wow, what a waste of stories from Fastlane moving into Raw. The CM Punk chants were cool in Chicago, I wish he would show up. I didn’t like Raw, it was boring.

Monday Night Raw was live from my home area, but I am now living in Indiana, so I couldn’t get to it. I didn’t want to review things this week because someone in my work life told me that I suck at writing. This was the second week in a row that someone said I sucked at what I did, and it made me want to quit my job. I’m back to writing though, so here we are, talking about Monday Night Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw February 20, 2017 Review

WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens addressed Goldberg and his betrayal of Chris Jericho

Send In The Clowns. That’s all I can say about this. Ok, I did like it, but I’ve heard it before. Curt Hennig said the same exact same thing about Goldberg. I was there live in the arena at Bash At The Beach 1998. Hennig said he had found the secret to beating Goldberg. That match lasted 3 minutes 50 seconds.

Enzo Amore and Big Cass def. Cesaro and Sheamus to become No. 1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championship

Enzo and Cass won here, but there were a lot of boos. It was sad. Oh, but Enzo and Cass win and will face off against the tag team champions at the PPV.

The Brian Kendrick attacked Akira Tozawa

This was boring. They would get a match at 205 Live. But this was boring to me.

Raw Tag Team Champions Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson def. Roman Reigns via Disqualification

Roman Reigns buried the tag champions. They did this so that the tag team champions look vulnerable against Enzo and Cass.

The New Day def. Rusev and Jinder Mahal

Did you think that Jinder My Balls was going to win? Neither did I. The New Day win, and promise that there will be ice cream at Wrestlemania.

Neville and Jack Gallagher signed their WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match contract

This was kind of cool, with Jack Gallagher winning out with a nice headbutt.

Nia Jax def. Sarah Pierce

A jobber match. I blinked and missed it.

Sasha Banks def. Charlotte Flair

This was a pretty good match, but you have to admit, Flair seems to not be able to win when the belt is not defended at PPV. Bayley didn’t give up her title, even though she won with cheating, and Flair and Banks put on a good match. I loved it. You loved it, let’s move on.
WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens def. Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn was beat down by Samoa Joe and that was the end. Owens pinned Zayn and that was all folks.

Braun Strowman def. Big Show

This was a very good big man match. Shoeman was able to beat down Show, but not without Show giving everything he had against the guy. Shoeman impressed me here, but I can’t wait for him to get buried at the PPV.

Overall, Raw was ok. It didn’t hold my attention nearly as much as I would of liked, but it was good. I liked it.
