WWE Monday Night Raw October 15, 2018 Results and Review Same Old Stuff Different Week

Source WWE - Monday Night Raw Pic

Well, well, here we go folks, another edition of Raw and I’m not excited, but then again, when is the last time I was truly excited about discussing Raw? I don’t remember at all. Let’s discuss the night, and some of the matches, and random notes as only I can, because this is the longest episodic pro wrestling blog ever created! Or maybe not.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 15, 2018 Results and Review

I hate when wrestling shows start with a lot of talking. Once again, we start Raw with talking, and I personally hate it. The three idiots came out, Dolph, Drew, and Brown Shoeman. They recapped last week! Come on! Who are they recapping for? Anyways, this was boring to start, and I am not a fan.

Seth Rollins defeated Drew McIntyre by Countout

The WWE World Cup match here, and it wasn’t bad. It had some good momentum, but after some back and forth, and Dean Ambrose showing up, Seth Rollins would get the win via count out. This was a terrible finish, mind you. However, the match itself wasn’t a complete terrible thing. I do question why a surprise attack needs music to play, as Dean got his music played to help his pal. He should’ve just ambushed Dolph Ziggler outside, no music or anything. Rollins wins, that’s all.

The WWE must assume that no one watches their show, right? Why else would they recap the DX announcement from last week through a long portion of the show? Meh.

Dean was teasing a split from the Shield, after Rollins called him a lunatic. I will say that I love Renee Young’s pants, and her style. She is a very lovely, woman and those pants, man, she’s a dream girl to me in many ways.

There was a vignette featuring Kane and The Undertaker. It was shot in a boiler room of sorts. It was stupid. I’m tired of seeing these 50 plus year old, broken down, boring big guys.

Nia Jax and Ember Moon defeated Tamina and Dana Brooke

I don’t know what to tell you about this. You already know it was bad, right? Well, if you didn’t see Raw, you didn’t miss anything at all. This was clumsy, and somewhat boring. It was a short match, with a finish that you’d expect at this point. Dana Brooke got hit with the Eclipse and that was the end. Short match, with some good action, and Tamina picking up Nia on her shoulders, that was cool. Other than that, another match with an ending that featured Tamina and Nia Jax squaring up.

Ronda Rousey Promo 

Ronda Rousey’s appeal is waning on me. I like her a lot, but in the WWE, she’s just meh, especially selling for The Bellas. She cut a promo. The Bellas came out, and there was an exchange, and out came security out of nowhere. So, Ronda decides to beat up the security guys with ease. The Bellas then ran away and that was that. I guess that’s the end of all that? They didn’t need this, we already know that The Bellas are useless, and by all accounts if the WWE books the way I think they will, we will see Ronda lose to the Bella Magic device.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Dean Ambrose

Thanks to Seth Rollins, Dean lashed out at his bro, and got a super kick for his effort, and a pinball win for Ziggler. Not a great match, but there’s enough of a push to watch it, even if Ambrose loses. This may spell doom for the Shield of course.

Balor defeated Jinder Mahal

Balor buries Mahal.

Trish and Lita Talk To Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

This was painful to watch.

AOP defeated A Random Jobber

It was supposed to be Angle, but it wasn’t.

Backstage The Riott Squad messed up Natalya’s dressing room door. Bullying. Meh.

Natalya defeated Ruby Riott

This wasn’t that great of a match, but it had some moments to consider. It was a short match, and Natalya did get the Sharpshooter victory, or was nearly there, but Sara Logan came in to fight that, and then chaos ensued with Bayley and Sasha Banks getting jumped. Riott Squad then beat up Natalya, and that was that.

Elias Segment

Apollo Crews interrupted this predictable segment. Crews then beat up Elias and that was that.

The Shield defeated The Wolves

Again, the same main event we see every week, and this time The Shield got to the win, and that was that. What can I say, it was a match, and that was that. Meh, to say the least. Another match won by the same three guys that take up all the time on Raw.

Afterwards Brown Shoeman beat up the squad, and Drew McIntyre walked away alone.

Overall, I’m just tired of the Shield and the same old booking on Raw.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 8, 2018 Results and Review From Chicago To Somewhere

Elias WWE 

WE start the show with talking of course, and it features Triple H coming out and getting a great ovation. I love the new HHH shirt, by the way. Due looks really cool, as a COO, wow. I want to be a COO that looks that good at that age. Good on him. Shawn Michaels would show up too.

Triple H said an avalanche came down on him and Michaels, as they were on top of it. That’s not how avalanches work. If you’re on top of a mountain, the ground beneath you could shift, but unless you’re underneath the avalanche to start, then you will not get buried, as you’re on top of it. If you’re on top of a mountain, avalanches can’t bury you, you’re on top. This doesn’t make sense, I guess.

Bobby Lashley defeated Kevin Owens

Does Kevin Owens ever get the upper hand any more? He now has jobbed to Lashley, and once again loses. He didn’t get completely buried, but with Lio Rush and Lashely together, the big man has beaten Kevin Owens again. So much for that “prize fighter” gimmick. This was lackluster, and the crowd was dead for a lot of it. Lately would “turn” as he ended up beating up Kevin Owens after the match, and that was that. I guess that’s cool, Lashley is a bad guy, and Owens is a good guy? Meh. Owens hasn’t been much of anything in the past few months, so maybe this will change? I don’t know. Boring match, with an ok ending, and a beat down of Owens.

Elias Sang

Elias did his thing, only to get interrupted by Ronda Rousey, and that was that. I don’t know what the purpose of that was, but Elias gets the book, and the women get a turn in a rematch from the early morning ppv.

Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins defeated The Riott Squad

This was a cool match, I guess. It wasn’t that great overall, it was just another match that we saw from Australia.

After the match, The Bella Twins tried to beat down Ronda Rousey, and they couldn’t take her on after too long, as Rousey got the better of the two for a moment, until they threw Rousey into the post and ring steps. The Bella Twins, lack wrestling skill, but look good, so they get the promotion. Must be nice.

Bayley and Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox

Well, this was a match. Entertaining, a bit, short, but it had enough gusto to make it worth watching. A good deal of back and forth, with the ending that you would expect, as Balor picked up the victory after his stomp from the top. Not bad at all. I didn’t hate it, but it had no major consequences.

The Conquistador won the global battle royal

This was a joke, and it was Kurt Angle under a mask. That’s all I can say about this joke of a match. Such a large roster and this is what they give us? Ok, sure.

Ember Moon defeated Nia Jax via cont out

Nia Jax controlled most of this match, but it turns into a terrible solution over time, as Jax got counted out and that was that. I guess that’s ok? I don’t know. I don’t care about this.

Trish Stratus and Lita Announcement

Trish Stratus came out and got a mediocre reception. Her and Lita will take on Alexa Bliss and Mickie James. Meh. Just Meh. Lita came out, and she’s hot as ever, I love her.

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

Well, this was a match, and without many consequences, it was just entertaining to see it go down. Gable would win with his rolling duplex, and that was that. Roode was set to win the match, and he looks like he lost some weight, he’s not on the roads any more.

After the match, the AOP ran down and squared off against Roode and Gable and that was that, I guess that was ok.

The Wolves defeated The Shield

Fast paced, back and forth, great overall push forward, with a focus on breaking down the elements here. Lots of back and forth, with a great push forward within the timing. Drew McIntyre would get the victory here, and that was that. Good stuff overall.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 1, 2018 Results and Review Horrible

WWE Raw Goes Old and Dumb - Source WWE 

First things first, we get Dean Ambrose coming out, and it’s supposed to be exciting. I think Dean Ambrose is extremely overrated. Of course, we open up with talking, because well, that’s what wrestling is now, a lot of talking on these shows. I miss wacky Dean, to be honest. The forward comb on his hair looks dumb, by the way.

After some talking, Baron Corbin came out to make a matcher and we would get the opening match up and it was Dean Ambrose facing off against Braun Strowman.

Brauns Strowman defeated Dean Ambrose

This was a one on one match, and while Strowman was winning, Roman Reigns showed up to mess up the match result. Ambrose lost this match.

Roman Reigns defeated Dolph Ziggler

Did you expect a different result? Roman Reigns goes through the motions he always does, and Ziggler gets finished off with a spear as per usual. Not a great match, not a terrible one, and Roman Reigns wins to the appreciation of little kids and women everywhere. I guess that was ok. Roman Reigns win, a few fans here, there’s a lot of empty seats in the arena.

Ronda Rousey defeated Ruby Riott

Riott put on a great fight overall. It wasn’t half bad, but did you think Rousey was going to lose here? Nope. Ruby Riott goes down and then gets an arm bar and that was that.

Konnor defeated Bobby Roode

Wow, this wasn’t glorious, and Roode is off the roids.

The B Team defeated The Revival

Wow, the Revival is now buried. Nice! What a lousy show.

Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins

This wasn’t for the title. It was an ok match at best. It featured a good back and forth, but after the loss, out came Roman Reigns, and he caught a beat down from the crew. Braun Strowman would then come out, and that prompted for Dean Ambrose to run down with an Axe Handle and start laying waste to people. That was that, or was it? Strowman would get an upper hand and the wolves would go on to beat up the Shield a bit, and that was that. I guess it was good? I’m not a big of an of these 6 idiots.

Kevin Owens defeated Bobby Lashley

This was a distraction roll up loss, and the match was ok at best. Lio Rush was outside and he got a beat down from Elias. Elias got heat singing and commenting about Seattle, but other than that, this was somewhat boring. Why do I still watch Raw?

Shawn Michaels Goes Bald

The ending of Raw had a bunch of old timers return, and I yawned so hard I almost fell asleep. The Brothers of Destruction came through, and well it was fine. I don’t care about these guys, and I don’t know why anyone else would. Shawn is bald now. Meh. Whole lot of meh.

Raw was abysmal, and yet the company keeps making money. I don’t get it. I don’t care.

WWE Monday Night Raw September 24, 2018 Results and Review Brie Triggers For Everyone

The Shield Buries AOP - SOURCE WWE

And away we go! Another night of Raw, and this time it opens with a limo pulling in, and Baron Corbin. Is this 1999 Monday Night Nitro? Stephanie McMahon comes out and Corbin starts to sing to her. Then out comes Triple H, and Corbin stops. Triple H then leaves, and Stephanie runs down Corbin a bit.

The Shield come out and guess what? They start talking! Roman says something that is true, “These belts will change your life”, yeah, they’ll make you mean spirited celebrities that won’t take a picture with children at a store. These guys can go suck a lemon, they are entitled, pricks if you ask me. I hate opening raw with talking. So I’m going to put on some headphones.

Out came a trio of heels, and they talked and talked, I’m so sick of these talking starts.

Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal

Not really a fun match. It was exactly what you would think of this match. Mahal loses, and one of the Singh brothers got beat up after the match, as well as a beat down from Bayley as well. I guess that is the end of Mahal and the Singh brothers.

The Riott Squad defeated The Bellas and Natalya

This was a short match, and the news coming from it is that Brie botched a few spots and knocked out Liv Morgan at one point. Then she knocked the crap out of Ruby Riott. The match would eventually get a finish, but it was rushed after Morgan was knocked out, and she was visibly concussed on the side of the ring. The Bellas suck, let’s not sugar coat it, they are not worth their pay scale at all, and they are being force fed to an audience that deserves better. I have never been a fan, and am still not a fan, especially after seeing Brie completely knock out someone in the ring and then drag her around instead of having her friends help her out. Lame. This was a stupid match.

Conor’s Cure Promo

I have nothing to say about this.

Connor defeated Chad Gable

One of the Ascension beat Gable, meh. This was dumb.

Dolph Ziggler and Dre McIntyre defeated The Revival

This was a fine match, with The Revival getting in a lot of offense, but it was all but forgotten when Drew and Dolph would get a comeback and drop the two with some stellar high powered offense. This wasn’t a bad match, mind you, the Revival didn’t roll over and die, they simply caught a beat down and was definitely working towards a win, but of course, the WWE isn’t going to do that at all. They never do. So in the end, the bad guys win, The Revival goes back on the shelf, and we continue to another segment on Raw.

Lashley defeated Elias via DQ

Meh. This match was ok, the story was more about Lio Rush about to get a beat down, but Lashley came in to safe the day. This is no doubt leading a tag team match, I’m sure.

Nia Jax defeated Alicia Fox

Short match with NIa Jax stomping out Fox.

The Shield defeated The Authors of Pain and Baron Corbin

Well, there you go. Did you expect another result from the pricks in the Shield? These guys suck, and hate kids. Entitled pieces of crap, I can’t stand the booking of Raw, and once again, they win. These guys suck. I’m over it. You can’t build up anyone if all you do is win and win, or can you? I’m going to just keep booing as per usual. Of course the story is whether or not Dean Ambrose is going to turn on the Shield. I doubt it. But it’s a nice little story they are building. Whatever the case is, I’m tired and Raw was not great. They were missing a TON of people, so meh. Just meh.

Monday Night Raw September 3, 2018 Results and Review

The Beat Down of The Shield - Source WWE 

We open the show with talking as per usual. This time the show begins with Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, and Drew Mcintyre. They talked a bit until The Shield showed up and things got heavy. The Raw Roster ran down to stop them, and they started to fight, and then the whole crew was in the ring trying to stop The Shield. Yeah, it was a big brawl, and the six guys were being held down by the rest of the Raw roster. That’s right, the whole Raw roster was having a hard time containing six guys. This is how we start Raw. Sigh.

The Shield got arrested and thrown into a van.

The Bellas defeated The Riott Squad

This was bad. Like really bad. The Bellas had ring rust, and they buried The Riott Squad. So that was that. SO much for in ring talent, and let’s just go with “looks”, right? Well that’s that.

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode defeated The Ascension

Well, the Ascension is now done. Another burial folks. Gable and Roode won an easy match here, and it was fun to see, but come on, The Ascension is nothing but a joke here.

Elias Came Out and of course it was stopped.

Alexa Bliss came out and talked, then Elias was going to help her with a song, and nope. Ronda Rousey showed up. Ugh, more talking. I’m so tired of a wrestling show that just talks and talks, and doesn’t have a lot of wrestling. Natalya came out as well.

Alexa Bliss defeated Natalya

Natalya loses a short match here. Alexa Bliss got help from her friends on this one, and then made Natalya tap out with an arm bar. Not a great match at all.

After the match, Ronda got her knee taken out and Alexa tried to beat her up, which worked for a second, but Ronda got the better of her, and she ran off. Their match is going to be another squash, I’m sure. This was awful to me.

Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler defeated The B Team

Well, that was something. Not a long match, but a little back and forth for sure. Ziggler was able to get a good deal of offense, and Mcintyre was able to hit some nice moves as well. Either way, you’re going to find that this gives the two bad guys gold, and they will most likely defend and lose to the Shield, right? Yeah. Anyways, this was lame. The B Team’s time is over, and they are now going to be relegated back to jobber status, I hope.

AOP buries Jobbers

Meh. Drake Maverick is now their manager. Meh

Shawn Michaels Talked

The Undertaker showed up and talked, and the two were talking. I’m telling you guys, so much talking, and not enough wrestling is killing Raw these days.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Ember Moon and Dana Brooke

I don’t know what this was, other than a simple, slow moving, short match. There was a few moments that were interesting, but it looks as though Dana Brooke is over Titus Worldwide, and is going solo. Moon didn’t get much offense, and Brooke took the pin. Women’s revolution eh? Short matches are back folks.

Jinder Mahal Talked.

This was another talking segment and it featured Bobby Lashley. However, in the middle of a meditation thing, Kevin Owens stormed the ring and beat up Lashley for apparently no reason. Then Jinder got a beat down from Lashley, and well Owens was standing tall, screaming, and apparently didn’t quit after all, right? Meh. The prize fighter has no prize, and he is just picking fights with random people. Meh.

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Balor

This was a back and forth match, and it wasn’t half bad. Strowman would get the win here, after a lot of action from Balor, who did his best to get through the motions of the match. He was supposed to fight Baron Corbin, but instead, he had to fight off Strowman here, and well, it was not an easy match for him. Strowman got the win with his powerslam, and that was that.

After the match, the Shield returned in a police van, and were ready to attack, but they couldn’t, because the heels of Raw came down to beat them up and then drag them to the aisle way. That is that. I don’t like the Shield, honestly, and well, this night on raw, they got those hands and were left for dead. Meh.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 8, 2018 Results and Review Dumpster Fires Keep Burning

The Best Part of Raw - SOURCE wwe dot com 

Well, well, another Raw was in the books, and honestly, I didn’t really want to talk about it. However, it is Thursday and I decided that it was time to look into Raw as I watched it on HULU, and well, I’m surprised that I didn’t just give up on the writing of this review. Here’s the reviews overall.

The Balor Club confronted The New Shield

This was dumb. I’m tired of the shows starting with all talking. This was just boring to see, and while it ended fine, it was just stupid. The Balor Club is nothing more than a bunch of jobbers.

Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

By having the good guys going over on both shows, why are these new factions a threat? They have won nothing big, they aren’t proving to be much of a threat, and well, it’s the absolutely worst thing. This is something that is NOT like the NOW invasion, and it’s sad. This match was fine, but it was hilarious to see the bad guys lose yet again.

Matt Hardy defeated Curt Hawkins

Hawkins loses again. Nothing to write home about here.

Cedric Alexander defeated Enzo Amore via Countout

This was a lousy match, and wow, just terrible. Alexander did do a great deal of moves, and legitimately cut Enzo open over his eye. Amore then seemed to get an ankle injury and got himself counted out. This wasn’t a terrible match, but it was far from good, that’s for sure.

Titus Worldwide defeated Cesaro and Sheamus

This was not shown on HULU

Braun Strowman Attacked Lesnar and Kane

This was after Heyman came out and cut his old promo. I’ve heard it so much, I am tired of hearing it. Braun Strowman came out after Kane and Lesnar fought to the back, and threw a grappling hook onto a set and dropped it on top of Lesnar and Kane. It was hella fake, but hey, it’s WWE, right?

Samoa Joe defeated Rhyno

This was a burial, and well, Joe may have hurt his foot.

Nia Jax attacked Asuka

It is what it is, not a match.

The Balor Club defeated The New Shield

I didn’t really pay attention to this match, but it went ok. The Balor Club won, and that was that.

I get it, this is a weak review. It was a weak Raw, what can I say? There wasn’t much in terms of wrestling, with few matches, and a lot of talking. The roster is huge, and yet we see the same things over and over again. The story lines are lazy, the show is dragging, and it feels like this is 9 hours long. Oh well.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 4, 2017 Results and Review The Dumpster Fire Keeps Burning

Asuka Looking Great - Source WWE dot com

Once again, I am reviewing the HULU version of Monday Night Raw, mainly because I’m on the road in Las Vegas. The night of Wrestling was edited down into 90 minutes of action, and well, here we go, my take on how it all worked out.

WWE Monday Night Raw December 4, 2017 Results and Review

I honestly forget how the show opened. It was mainly talking. Roman Reigns and Jason Jordan were slack jawing about the Intercontinental Title, and how Jordan wants a shot and asks his dad to give him a shot, and Angle obliges. But not until Samoa Joe comes out to challenge, and that prompts a Reigns beat down from Jordan, and what not.

Roman Reigns defeated Jason Jordan

Here we go, not a bad match for Jason Jordan. Jordan fights a 20 minute or so battle with Reigns, who has recently said he was the best wrestler in the entire world. Reigns put the boots to Jordan, but Jason Jordan was dropping a lot of suplexes, dropkicks, and running through the paces of a good match. This wasn’t half bad, it was a fun showcase of stellar wrestling, and some good moments, even though the crowd was booing the crap out of Jordan at some points.

Paige defeated Sasha Banks

Paige actually put on a good match with Banks. The Boss couldn’t handle the onslaught that Paige and her cronies brought, and eventually led to a brawl outside and then Banks beat down Banks finishing her off for the 3 count and her finisher.

Drew Gulak defeated Cedric Alexander, Mustafa Ali, and Tony Nesese

This was not shown on HULU

Braun Strowman attacked Elias

Elias wanted a match, and Braun came out to answer, only to beat up Elias, and the match never really started.

Asuka defeated Alicia Fox

This went a lot longer than the last time Asuka fought. Alicia Fox was able to fight a great deal, but in the end it was Asuka that would get the win. I was surprised by how long it took Asuka to win this match, it took her way longer than I would’ve thought, and it was kind of interesting to see how she went through the motions.

Finn Balor defeated Bo Dallas

This was not shown on HULU

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt Did Dueling Promos

Matt Hardy is now Awoken, and he’s in full Broken or rather Woken mode. It’s going to be interesting to see how he can pin Wyatt, because you know Wyatt loses every time.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins

The main event was for the Raw tag team titles, and it was interesting to see how it all went down. The two teams work really well, and were able to gain the upper hand on each other left and right. However, Cesaro and Sheamus did get a big win with the help of Samoa Joe, and they retained the titles, in one hell of a main event in Los Angeles.

Raw wasn’t half bad. But let’s be honest. There was no Universal Champion, Reigns and Jordan were getting booed, the main event was good, and the rest of the show was just a lot of fluff if you ask me. Not exactly a great one, but not the worst one I’ve ever seen either.

WWE Raw November 7, 2017 Results and Review The Logical Gap Widens

Stellar Boot

If you were to apply logic to the latest WWE booking, you would be sorely disappointed. I know I was today. This was an insane night of wrestling, and you know what? I didn’t even see the whole thing. I saw the HULU edition and was disappointed by the selection that they chose. There is logic issues that you may want to consider here. It’s odd.

WWE Raw November 7, 2017 Results and Review HULU Edition

First and foremost, the show opened up with Miz TV as the opening segment. Lots of talking, and random BS, with Kurt Angle saying that the Miz would have to fight Braun Strowman. But here’s the thing, I thought the title was on the line, but apparently it wasn’t. Oh well.

Jason Jordan defeated Elias in a Guitar On A Pole Match

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Asuka defeated Stacy Coates

This wasn’t on HULU

FInn Balor and Samoa Joe went to a double count out

Samoa Joe came out to cut a promo about how no one could beat him. He said that anyone that stood in front of him would get put down. He first took out Titus, but then out came Finn Balor aka Alex Wright 2.0. Now, this wasn’t crazy, mind you, it was just an average back and forth match, with lots of counters. The match went into a brawl and the refs came out to stop it, and it was a double count out. But Angle came out and said that they both were team members for Survivor Series. Not a great match, not a bad match.

Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Alicia Fox and Nia Jax

This wasn’t bad. This was a good women’s match, but Jax once again is on the losing end, while Banks and Bayley got the win. Fox hits hard, I’m surprised how hard she hits the women, but she eventually tapped out, and then said that she wanted Banks on her team, not Bayley! So Banks will be on the Survivor Series team.

Braun Strowman defeated The MIz via DQ

Hey, remember that title match? NO? Good, because the title wasn’t on the line. I don’t know why they do this, but oh well. Strowman ran through The Miz, and then Kane came out to cause the disqualification. Strowman beat up Kane, then beat up the Miz and his crew. That was that. I don’t like the booking here, it doesn’t make sense. Why didn’t Miz just run with his belt, he survived it doesn’t matter any longer.

Pete Dunne defeated Enzo Amore

This wasn’t shown on HULU

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose for the Raw Tag Team Titles

This wasn’t bad, mind you. It just wasn’t great. The match was ok, for what it was, and it featured a lot of action, back and forth moves, and some good moments. But the ending was baffling. Out comes the New Day in the crowd and gets on the MIC. Angle commands all of the Raw guys to come down to the ring and defend Raw, but in the middle of this, the match stops and out of nowhere a Brogue kick levels the champions, and boom, new title holders. That’s right, title change! Ok, sure, why not?

That’s the end of Raw, and you know, it felt like it was 9 hours long. Not a bad show, but logically it made no sense to me, but hey, it’s WWE and they do whatever the hell they want these days. I did like some of the action, but honestly, I’m tired of the same match ups over and over again.

WWE TLC 2017 Results and Review The Angle Return

WWE TLC 2017 - SRC WWE DOT COM

This past Sunday WWE had an event known as TLC. It usually features an array of matches with no rules, but not this time, this time you’re going to find that there were a lot of matches that had a lot of rules, and some that just seemed like a joke. Well, if you didn’t watch it or you did watch it and are waiting for me to talk about it, today is your lucky day. I’ve watched too much wrestling in a short span of time.

WWE TLC 2017 Results and Review

Sasha Banks defeated Alicia Fox

Alicia Fox has been hitting her stride as someone that is crazy, and hits hard in the ring. She busted Sasha Banks wide open on Raw, and in this match the two hit each other hard. I mean a lot harder than most of the divas or the women, rather, and it was nice to see them get physical and not “sexy”. The two put on a show of strength and eventually Banks would get the big win.

Asuka defeated Emma

There is no rhyme or reason for the way that this match went. Asuka won but it took her roughly 20 minutes to get the job done. Emma has been a jobber on Raw but was able to take on Asuka in this match and surprise her. She nearly got a few pinfalls, and that really shocked the crowd. But of course it was Asuka getting her big win and moment on the PPV that really was the story here, and it was a good opener for a hot crowd of 13,000 plus fans.

Cedric Alexander and Rich Swann defeated Jack Gallagher and The Brian Kendrick

This was a high flying, fast paced match, and it really was good to see. The main spot I recall was a Phoenix Splash from the top onto Kendrick, and a lot of diving. I loved it. This was a great cruiserweight match that was a lot of fun to watch and had some great spots overall. The teams work really well together, and the crowd was into the offense, even if no one is watching 205 Live.

Alexa Bliss defeated Mickie James

Mickie James carried Alexa Bliss to a great match in my opinion. The two had some miscues at certain times, but overall, this match was a fun romp that had a lot going for it. It had a lot of back and forth, good chemistry at times, and Bliss hitting and missing her moves. James is a veteran and can go fast or slow, and doesn’t look winded at all. I liked this one, and Bliss would get the win with the DDT because I like her and that’s awesome! Or because she’s awesome, I don’t know, I love her.

Enzo Amore defeated Kalisto

Well, you knew this was going to happen, didn’t you? Well Kalisto put on a good lucha match, and you know what? Enzo was good too. That’s right, Enzo was great here and he put on a show of great back and forth action with some great overall moves. His top rope leaping DDT is great to watch, and really is a positive. He would win with a thumb to the eye, and a roll up, but that’s ok.

The Demon Finn Balor defeated Aj Styles

A dream match for the ages, and it was quite good overall. A lot of back and forth, no one got the advantage early on, and the two traded moves like there was no tomorrow. Styles looked tired from his 18 hour flight, but Balor carried him at times, and you know what? Styles is the best in the world at what he does, and it shows. The Demon would get the win with his finisher, and he would come out like Alex Wright on Raw. This was a good overall match, with lots of back and forth, kicks, and some nice shotgun blasts from Finn Balor, who took this first of what may be many matches between the two.

Jason Jordan defeated Elias

Throughout the show you had to endure Elias trying to play his music and Jordan interrupting by throwing salad at him. This was an insult of the eighteen century, and while the match was good, the crowd was dead and Elias would lose again. Why is this guy getting so much heat and losing? He should be winning and getting monster heat, but hey, I don’t write the shows, I just watch them. This was a better match than I thought, and it was worth their time slot before the main event.

Kurt Angle and The Shield defeated Braun Strowman, Kane, Cesaro, Sheamus, and the Miz in a TLC Match

Kurt Angle came out in shield uniform and got a huge reaction. He seemed so happy to just be there, and it showed. When you watch this match, you could tell that the teams were treating Kurt with kid gloves. They were protecting him throughout all of the offense, and the younger men were taking on a bulk of the responsibility. At one point Kurt gets powerslammed through a table and is carted away. Then the Shield has to try and fight off 5 men. This was exactly like Hogan and Savage versus the Dungeon of Doom and the Four Horseman in a steel cage at Superbrawl. I loved the cheese factor, but the match was very long and kind of convoluted at times. There was a spot where Braun Strowman was throwing into a dumpster! That’s right, a dumpster and carted away. Angle would return with his music and then he would take out 4 guys, before he would eventually get the better of The Miz and win big.

Overall, TLC 2017 was an entertaining show and was made a lot better by Aj Styles and Kurt Angle. I didn’t miss Roman Reigns at all, even though his music played at the end, and that was that. This may have been the most fun that I’ve had watching WWE in a long time, and it was definitely worth checking out again. I just wish my stream wasn’t lagging and skipping, which is a constant issue I’m seeing with the WWE network on the iPhone.

Kurt Angle Joins The Shield At TLC 2017

I'm not a news site for pro wrestling, I just review it when I see it. Well, this Sunday at TLC live on the WWENETWORK, you're going to get your chance to see Kurt Angle back in action.

Oh it's true, it's damn true!

You see, WWE has signed Angle to compete with Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose versus the 5 guy team of idiots.

Furthermore, Aj Styles will take on Finn Balor! But who cares about that, Kurt MOFO Angle is going to be fighting in the main event!

WWE Monday Night Raw October 2, 2017 Results and Review The Enzo Ending Again

The Shield Sucked - SRC WWE DOT COM

WWE Monday Night Raw once again proved to be a show that you could miss. I for sure didn’t watch to watch it, and was slapping myself like I was Dean Ambrose to try and wake up because this thing was not that fun to watch. It felt like it was 4 hours long to be honest.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 2, 2017 Results and Review HULU EDITION

As you already know, I watch the HULU edition of the show and I wanted to bang my head against the wall because it was that bad. Don’t believe me? Let’s discuss it.

Brawn Strowman defeated Seth Rollins

Strowman won clean. This was a hard fought battle for Rollins, but he didn’t win this one, and Strowman won 100% clean. He’s now buried the tag champs. Why are they making him out to be so hardcore, if it only took one F5 to bury him at the last PPV against Lesnar? He wins, but this was a fun match to watch, and Rollins is very quick, I’m impressed.

Elias defeated Titus O’Neil

This was not on HULU.

Mickie James defeated Nia Jax via Disqualification

This was not half bad, James was able to put the boots to Jax, but Jax seemed to be poised to win. That is until Alexa Bliss jumped in and saved her. I love Alexa Bliss, and she’s just awesome here, and is the most over women’s wrestler in the WWE, at least on Raw. This was an ok match, but I don’t like that they are redoing the PIGGY JAMES thing only that James is older. Sigh.

The Club Sandwich Boys defeated Matt Hardy and Jason Jordan

This wasn’t shown on HULU.

Dana Warrior presented Belts to Breast Cancer Patients

This was shown on HULU, and I am not going to say something bad about it.

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz via Diqualification

Roman Reigns got an intercontinental title match and wasn’t able to pull a win. Before the match, he beat the holy hell out of the Miztourage. He got a chair and went to town on both guys, leaving The Miz alone in the ring, but that wasn’t enough, because they would come back and beat the guy down.

Bray Wyatt addressed Finn Balor

Another Wyatt Promo? Ugh.

Bayley and Sasha Banks defeated Emma and Alicia Fox

I miss when Noam Dar would say Alicia Fox’s name. This match wasn’t shown on HULU, at least I don’t think it was, I fell asleep at one point.

Kalisto Came Out To Fight Enzo Amore

Since Enzo cut another ending promo, Kalisto came out and will challenge him to fight for the title. Sigh.

Oh and the ending had the Shield members kind of reunite.

What a lousy week of programming from the WWE. These guys are the number one company? They put out less and less wrestling, and more and more filler. This was a horrible night of wrestling, and I can’t wait to not have to watch anything like this, because they truly don’t know how to put on a wrestling show any longer. So many holes, so many boredom movements. Sigh. I’m done with Raw for now. You can’t possibly have liked this terrible showing.

WWE Battleground 2016 Results and Review

This weekend I was able to catch WWE Battleground, and while I didn’t review it right away, I figured it was better to do so today than never. Not that anyone is reading, but hey, I give it a good shot. Here we go the WWE Battleground results and review by me, Sir Jorge.

Breezango def. The Usos

This wasn’t half bad, a lot of high flying action. The Usos are great together, that brotherly bond is nice to see in the ring. Breezango is funny, their antics catching Pokemon have me laughing a bit during Raw and throughout their promos. I don’t play myself, but maybe I should.

3 Out of 5 Stars

Sasha Banks & Bayley def. Charlotte & Dana Brooke

The surprise teammate aspect intrigued me, and the overall match was really good. The match showcased Banks and Bayley throwing down some lethal combinations before they finally took out Miz and Riley, I mean Charlotte and Dana once and for all.

4 out of 5 Stars

The Wyatt Family def. The New Day

Boring match. Wyatt’s win. New Day sucks. Big E is going to break his neck going through the ropes every big match. He needs to stop.

2 out of 5 Stars

U.S. Champion Rusev def. Zack Ryder

Zack Ryder is so athletic, and yet he is useless against Rusev. I’m sure John Cena can come in and deflate the Rusev Balloon. Boring match.

2 out of 5 Stars

Sami Zayn def. Kevin Owens

Match of the night. Some of the moves didn’t make sense to me, but hey, I loved this. It was a good back and forth match. But it’s unbelievable to me that a frog splash and a superkick can’t put away a smaller wrestler. Sorry, nitpicking.

4 out of 5 Stars

Natalya def. Becky Lynch

Boring.

2 out of 5 Stars

Intercontinental Champion The Miz vs. Darren Young ended in a Double Disqualification

I like Darren Young enough, but this match had no one surprised, and it was funny to watch. It was ok at best.

2 out of 5 Stars

John Cena, Enzo Amore & Big Cass def. The Club

Holy crap, The Club Sandwich boys are now officially buried and done. Cena and his crew win, with Cena getting the pin on Aj. Cena does nothing in WWE without his shovel, and here he is burying The Club Sandwich boys yet again.

2 out of 5 Stars

Randy Orton RKOs Chris Jericho on “The Highlight Reel”

Boring.

1 out of 5 Stars

WWE Champion Dean Ambrose def. Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins (Triple Threat Match)

Not bad. I was actually thinking Roman was going to win this one, but nope. He is going to eat plates of dog poop and like it from now on. It’s funny, Lesnar is busted for drugs outright, and he is not suspended at all. Roman gets busted and he’s gone for 30 days and loses 2 nights in a row. This was a good match, but I don’t like The Shield, and don’t like this match. Although, I like that Colby Lopez is Latino, or at least in a Latino family. Sup essay?

4 out of 5 Stars

The overall event was ok at best. I was bored midway through. I need to get Hulu again.

Watch For The Roman Reigns Swerve – Roman Reigns To Turn Heel

SRC WWE.COM

I’ve watched a lot of wrestling in my day. Some may say too much of it. I recently cancelled my WWE Network subscription because it was getting so bad. I never used it. I miss my VHS tape collection and the tape trading that used to go on in the 1980s and 1990s. The streaming thing is dumb. I wish I still had my collection of wrestling videos, as they were unedited, recorded directly from the pay per views, but alas, times change and well, so do I.

Right now there is a title match coming up that was set at Raw. The match will be Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. The two will battle it out for the WWE title, and I already see in my crystal ball, a swerve brewing. I think that Roman Reigns will be turning heel. I know, this sounds insane, but after the warm welcome that HHH and Stephanie gave Rollins after beating Kane this past week at Hell in A Cell, don’t disregard the swerve.

Roman Reigns has been battling fan approval for some time. The fans booed him out of the building across the country, and are now starting to warm up to him. However, Rollins is putting on some insane matches. What I’m seeing as something that will happen at the Survivor Series, is a screw job. The Authority will screw over Rollins and Roman Reigns will get the win, and join the Authority. That’s right, The Authority will team up with Reigns, Reigns will cut a promo about how the fans hated him and well they can shove it, and Rollins will be that hero baby face chasing the title and the win back.

Of course, there’s also Brock Lesnar waiting. A Roman Reigns versus Brock Lesnar rematch for the title could very well headline The Royal Rumble, assuming this goes through. Leading to a 3 way at Mania with Rollins, Reigns, and Lesnar, only for Sheamus to mess things all up for everyone.

This is all fantasy, but alas, I smell a Roman Reigns and even John Cena heel turn, and that’s my 2 cents for now.

WWE Extreme Rules 2014 Results and Review

WWE Extreme Rules 2014 Results

Torito defeated Hornswoggle

Paige defeated Tamina Snuka 

Quality match, Paige is far better than any other diva, and Tamina is a good overall foe. I liked the match and find Paige sexy. 

Bray Wyatt defeated John Cena 

Lackluster cage match, nothing really worth mentioning. Yes, there was a creepy kid, but who cares...the match sucked. 

The Shield defeated Evolution 

High quality match with Seth Rollins going "new jack" on Evolution diving off the balcony. Loved that. Batista losing and getting beaten was good. Overall high quality match, hopefully that's the end of Evolution for a long time. 

Bad News Barrett defeated Big E

Bad News is the new champ, this was a boring match. 

Cesaro defeated RVD and Jack Swagger

Ok matchup, decent pace, RVD is way over, but lost in the shuffle here. 

Alexander Ruseve defeated R Truth and Xavier Woods

Boring match, lame gimmick, hot Russian blonde though. 

Daniel Bryan defeated Kane 

The worst match on PPV I've seen in a long time. WWE has followed up Wrestlemania with the worst match I've seen. Not since Mankind vs The Rock has a match been so blatantly boring and stupid. I'm referring to the match during Superbowl halftime years ago. Daniel Bryan picks up the win, but Kane was stupid throughout. The table fire spot was poorly executed, and no one cares for this match, but whatever.

Overall, this is the worst ppv of 2014 thus far. WWE really knows how to bore people that's for sure. 

WWE Wrestlemania 30 Results and Minor Review

WWE had an incredible run, and their 30th wrestlemania was something that is definitely worth noting. I finally got to see it and it’s definitely something that people are talking about. I didn’t see the preshow but the USOS won their match.

No sign of that chump, quitter CM PUNK, so good riddance. That idiot can sit on his couch and get fat like a damn quitter.

The USOS defeated 4 other teams in the tag match that I didn’t see.

Daniel Bryan defeated Triple H

This match was good, Triple H really had a hard time in this one. Stephanie McMahon is hot, really hot. Hunter lost this one, but not without an incredible bout, I loved it. Bryan moves forward. Bret Hart had to be proud.

The Shield defeated Kane and the New Age Outlaws

This match was fast, and I don’t remember much about it. The Shield are ok, I guess.

Cesaro won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

This was a lot of fun, and seeing Cesaro body slam the crap out of Big Show was awesome. Cesaro is one of the best talents I’ve seen in a long time. I hope they do more with him. The European Uppercut he gave to Ziggler was an unstoppable force, I thought Ziggler was absolutely dead, I couldn’t believe it.

John Cena defeated Bray Wyatt

Cena was in top form here, and Wyatt is a perfect foe. HOWEVER, Wyatt should’ve won this match. He’s playing the RAVEN vibe. Remember when Raven took on Chris Benoit at Souled Out? Same thing here. Same thing, but Wyatt is in top form. Cena is odd now, I don’t know where his character is going.

Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker

DING DONG THE STREAK IS DEAD! The Undertaker’s overrated streak is finally over, good riddance. GOOD RIDDANCE! I fell asleep during this match.

Aj Lee won the divas match up

Daniel Bryan defeated Orton and Batista

This was a great match, I loved it. I loved the way it all went down, and Bryan is going to have a huge target on his back.

Overall a good wrestlemania, but not the greatest. I didn’t get that epic vibe here. I think that Triple H should’ve stopped Bryan. However, I get it. Taker’s streak is done, good riddance. Cm Punk showing up, would’ve been epic, but nope. That chump is long gone, good riddance too.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results and Review 3/24/14

SRC wwe.com

What’s this? I’m back suckaaaasssss! That’s right, Sir Jorge is back in business thanks to a few gigs writing and a lot of time on social media busting balls. Before I get into the review, I want to say that CM PUNK SUCKS. The review is based on the HULU version of Raw, because I do not/cannot afford cable.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results and Review

This Monday, Stephanie came out to talk about last week’s actions against Daniel Bryan. Stephanie is marvelous at the role of trying to push the fans, and it’s grand. Orton came out to talk about how he’s going to win, which is what all the champions do. I hate Orton. He has the charisma of a paper plate. I hate these long intros, but you, you already knew that.

CM Punk quits because of Batista.

When Batista’s music hit, that’s all I could think about. Batista isn’t the best, but he didn’t quit like Punk did and walk away like a chump. His music hit and of course we got more discourse. A slow start to Raw, in my view. Stephanie slapped the hell out of Dave and basically called her a SLUT! I loved it.

Goodbye Stephanie! Great opening segment that led to a spear by Batista. I do not think Batista is the next champion. I don’t think Bryan is either. I’m thinking Punk returns to screw Bryan over. Orton retains then goes back to being backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowbooys.

Christian defeated Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, and Alberto Del Rio in Fatal Four Way Match

Christian’s run has to be coming to an end. This match was a spot fest for the most part, and I don’t mind that. I love seeing as much wrestling as we can get, and not everything has to be a hard fought technical masterpiece ala Dean Malenko. This match sufficed to entertain, and Chrsistian’s win comes as a surprise to me. I thought Ziggler would win, especially after the top rope fame-asser…I forget what it’s called now, but who cares. Good match, solid ending, Christian gets a shot at the IC title, and will lose.

Triple H turned into the “GAME” and said he’d be champion, which I didn’t care for.

Hogan up next and his segment in which The Miz came out and tried to assert his dominance. Cheap pops abounded, and Hogan was welcomed with warm arms. Miz then got beat up by some random idiot and then got hit by Arnold and Hogan. A Real World joke was made, and I got bored, you did too, admit it. Where’s the wrestling at?

John Cena vs. Luke Harper NO Contest

John Cena really meshed well with Luke Harper. Harper is a dirty wrestler, and it shows, while Cena tried to mix in his signature moves. Cena does a good job staying in character, and his move set is offset by Luke’s constant changes and random brawling style. I like how Harper is a throw back of sorts, moving through wrestling moves and just brawling, which is just good. Harper is wild, and it shows with how he works with Cena. The lights went out and Cena was left tied to the ropes in a weird mask, and that was that. The crowd was insanely happy, I was confused, and the Wyatt family once again prove to be the best thing on WWE Raw right now.

Naomi defated Aj Lee by count out

AJ Lee was supposed to wrestle Naomi but got herself counted out fast. I don’t like the divas division, and this once again proves why. I hate it. Vickie came out to say that AJ Lee would wrestle Naomi, Cameron, Brie Bella, Nicki Bella, Natalya, Eva Marie, Emma, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Summer Ray, Rosa Mendes, Layla, and Tamina in the first ever Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship invitational.

The Shield defeated The Real Americans

This match was ok, nothing too spectacular. The Real Americans seem to push a great team, and The Shield is showing signs of weakness. I’m not sure what the gimmicks are here, but they are definitely pushing the beat downs to all new levels. I guess they are ok, but eh, I don’t really care for them. The Real Americans bore me, and it feels like The Shield is just second fiddle to the Wyatt Family. Entertaining match though, so I liked that. Apparently The Shield will wrestle the Corporate Outlaws and Kane at Wrestlemania…boring.

Heyman came out to talk about Lesnar and Undertaker….it bored me. Oh and Undertaker came out and did a little shuffle with lesnar, but who cares? Undertaker is overrated. The streak is lame, and I proved that long ago.

Overall Raw Rating: 3/5

The show was light on wrestling, heavy on talk. That's how things go in the WWE today, I presume. The build up to Wrestlemania is getting stronger, but with these throwaway matches, I'm not sure I'd invest heavily. Oh well.

WWE Payback 2013 Thoughts and Review

copyright WWE.com

WWE Payback 2013 hit the Chicago area last night and while I don’t often venture forward to watch any pay per views, this time around I was intrigued by some of the card. I don’t remember everything that happened, but you might remember a few things more than I did, which is fine. The following things I wanted to comment on, even though more things happened. You can get full images, video and beyond by visiting the official wwe website, otherwise join me in ranting on a few things I noticed about the show.

WWE Payback Results 

Sheamus defeated Damien Sandow
Curtis Axel defeated Wade Barrett and the Miz for the Intercontinental Title
Aj Lee defeated Kaitlyn for the divas championship
Alberto Del Rio defeated Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship
Cm Punk defeated Chris Jericho
The Shield defeated Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan
John Cena defeated Ryback in 3 Stages of Hell

I didn’t see the Sheamus match, so I can’t say much about that. I do however want to say that the show should have included that match up during the main ppv, instead of some of the filler that was on the line up.

Curtis Axel aka Mr. Perfect Lite

The triple threat match was actually really well done, and I absolutely loved the ending. Axel getting the pin on Barrett and capturing the IC title would have made his father proud. The only thing that I can’t get over is the fact that Axel has the personality and charisma of a wet paper bag. He needs to really work on that or else I will inevitably hate him. I loved the perfectplex pin which would’ve blown the roof off the arena, but oh well, new IC champion.

The divas did ok. That is all.

Alberto Del Rio bad guy?

I guess Del Rio is a heel again? I don’t know, he kept kicking Ziggler in the head and the whole storyline was about concussions, and didn’t bode well for me. I didn’t like the match and do not support the lame attempt at making Del Rio hated, he doesn’t need that, he can just cheat, like natural heels do.

Cm Punk returns to mediocrity.

The building was definitely loud for the big return, but Jericho is right, he is not the best in the world. Sure he beat Jericho clean and the two threw out a really good match, but was it the best? An instant classic? No! The crowd made the match though and Punk’s new shirt is awesome. Punk is definitely one of the more important aspects of wrestling right now, and I’m glad he’s back.

Super Cena wins again.

I had a shred of doubt as to the winner, but nope, Superman aka John Cena wins again. I am ultimately sick of Cena destroying ALL the heels. He can’t lose can he? I hate the guy, you hate the guy, he needs to turn heel now!

There you have it, all my thoughts on Payback 2013. If you want to support this blog and help me get cable to watch more shows away from my computer, than please support by buying stuff via amazon online. Thanks!
