WWE 205 Live May 3, 2017 Results and Review The C Show Is Bad

Noam Dar is So Lucky - SRC WWE.COM

205 Live came and went, and boy did it really downgrade in some respects. There were some highlights though, mainly Mustafa Ali. That guy is the best thing about the WWE cruiserweight division right now. He’s so good, and yet he doesn’t get the main title matches, or anything. I think he needs a main title shot against Neville and Austin Aries, he’d win and get the fans over, I’d hope at least.

WWE 205 Live May 3, 2017 Review

Tj Perkins defeated Lince Dorado

From a stricktly wrestling stand point, this was really good. Perkins, I’ve always said, is a great in ring competitor. Dorado is great too, and I love to see the lucha guys get a fair chance. Perkins and Dorado put on a good match, with Perkins pushing that heel element a lot during the match. Good opener, no doubt.

Drew Gulak defeated Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali is a treat to watch wrestle. He’s that good. Drew Gulak has been on a crusade to stop high flying moves, and he continued to push that element here. Mustafa Ali got a lot of good shots, but it was Gulak that would get the win this time around.

Noam Dar defeated Rich Swann

Noam Dar is back with Alicia FOoooxxxxx, good for him. Swann is wasted here, as he loses and Dar gets a win on the show. I don’t know what else to say about this. It was a fine match, but nothing too grand.

The cruiserweight show just feels tired, and it’s not the competitors fault. The show just drags a bit, and the storylines are dumb. They should not be isolated, if you ask me. WCW didn’t isolate them, they gave them a stage and even fought bigger guys at times. I liked that. This is just a waste if you ask me, which you didn’t.

Neville Beats Up Aries - src wwe.com

WWE 205 Live is supposed to be an hour of action, but honestly, it’s more like 45 minutes of show, and lots of filler. This week’s highlight was Mustafa Ali, simple as that. Let’s discuss this showcase of the lighter side of wrestling.

WWE 205 Live Review

Akira Tozawa defeated Tony Nese

Tony Nese is the most underrated wrestler on the 205 roster. He’s stellar in ring, and Tozawa made him look great too. Tozawa is over with his yelling, and you know what, I’m growing to like the guy. This was a hard style match with Tozawa getting the big win overall. Great opener.

Rich Swann defended Cedric Alexander’s honor

This was nonsense. Alicia Foxx is hot though.

Ariya Daivari defeated Mustafa Ali

Ali is the most incredible of wrestlers. He put on a highlight reel again. I am hoping the best for Mustafa Ali, and if they make a shirt for him, I’m buying it. He is the best wrestler on 205 Live that is just going out and performing 5 star classics. Gulak came out protesting high flying, and that let Ariya Daivari get the win. Daivari’s character is starting to get more rounded out, which is a good thing. This was a great match folks, I loved it, you should love it too.

Austin Aries defeated Tj Perkins

Austin Aries put on an ok show with Tj Perkins. Perkins as a heel is ok, but he needs better talent to work with. I would say to put him on NXT and let him wrestle other guys. This was not a great match. The two didn’t have the chemistry that I thought they would have. Also, I’m not sold on Aries, I don’t see the big deal yet. Oh well. This was a good match, not great, but it was ok. Lots of great back and forth, and good overall maneuvers. Aries wins, getting that burial back from last week or two weeks ago.

Post match, Neville came down and beat up Aries, and that was the end of the night. I’ll have an NXT review tomorrow, and then a review of the first ever Monday Night Raw.

Mustafa Ali defeated The Brian Kendrick

WWE 205 April 11, 2017 Review

Mustafa Ali defeated The Brian Kendrick

The opening match was stellar. Mustafa Ali is one of the greatest wrestlers I’ve ever seen. If you haven’t seen him wrestle, you’re not a fan of wrestling. Ali impresses me every time he steps into the ring. He has logic on his side, he puts on a show, and in this match he pulled out all the stops to fight Kendrick’s mat based offense. Kendrick was fun to watch here too, countering some of Ali’s offense, but the inverted 450 was too much.

Give the assist to Akira Tozawa, he run the bell prematurely, and that let Ali get the win. Great stuff here.

Rich Swann defeated Johnny Ocean

Rich Swann beat a jobber.

Post-match Alicia Fox came out and confronted Swann. Then a gift came to the ring and Noam Dar came out to claim it was from him. It exploded in Alicia Fox’s face, and that was that. Swann gets the last laugh.

TJ Perkins defeated Jack Gallagher

Not my favorite match. This seemed forced at times. Perkins can go, and Gallagher does great stuff, but sometimes it comes across a bit slow and forced. The pace picked up and Gallagher outsmarted Perkins at times, but it was TJ that got the big win at the end, thanks to Gallagher knocking himself out with a ring post dive.

Afterwards, Neville and Perkins celebrated together. A good overall 205 Live, but I’m getting tired of Tom Phillips calling all the cation on 4 hours of WWE programming.

Jack Gallagher Highlights 205 Live - src wwe.com 

205 Live had some interesting points, but overall, it was all somewhat predictable, with one exception. If there’s an A show for wrestling, it’s this one. 205 Live is a wonderful display of awesome elements.

Akira Tozawa defeated The Brian Kendrick
Rich Swann defeated Oney Lorcan
Austin Aries defeated Tj Perkins, Jack Gallagher, and Mustafa Ali to be the No. 1 Contender

WWE 205 Live Review

This is a pure wrestling show, so let’s discuss that part of it. Well, to be fair, Neville showed up at one point. Neville said a few things, and that’s that.

Akira Tozawa defeated The Brian Kendrick

Tozawa put on a show against Brian Kendrick, as usual. Kendrick faked a knee injury and rolled up Kendrick, leading him to get on the mic and say he has taught Kendrick a lesson. Fun stuff here, with a lot of great moments, even if it wasn’t long.

Rich Swann defeated Oney Lorcan

Oney Lorcan is a ball of fire. From the start, he threw everything he had against Rich Swann. I was impressed with the speed and precision of Lorcan, as he moved as fast as he could through moves, and Swann getting a win, but only after he had to wake up fast. Swann then got on the mic and said that he loved Alicia FOuuuuuuxxxx. Lorcan doesn’t look like much, but is amazing, I can’t wait to see him get more matches.

Austin Aries defeated Tj Perkins, Jack Gallagher, and Mustafa Ali to be the No. 1 Contender

Austin Aries was great here, but it was Mustafa Ali, Tj Perkins, and Jack Gallagher that stole the show. Gallagher especially, wow. Ali is also impressive, and Perkins has some great moves too. This was a fun match, with Aries getting the win at the end and getting another shot at Neville. Gallagher, though, wow. Ali, wow, and Perkins, amazing. Great overall show.

Neville Stomped Out Mustafa Ali - SRC WWE.com

I’m doing what most people are not doing. I am watching and reviewing WWE 205 Live. I don’t know a lot of podcasts that even cover it, and they have their reasons. It’s stupid, but hey, I’m not a podcaster yet.

This week on 205 Live, we had a few backstage elements that moved the needle. Noam Dar said he wasn’t going to be sending gifts and insinuated that Rich Swann was sending them. Meanwhile, Jack Gallagher was teaching Swann how to be a gentleman. Good stuff there.

WWE 205 Live March 21, 2017 Review

Tony Nese defeated Tj Perkins

Nese is a star, he’s the total package if you ask me. He’s muscular and he’s athletic, and has a personality to boot. He shouldn’t be stuck in 205 hell, he should be on the Raw or Smackdown show doing his thing. Tj Perkins is great too. He put on a show here, but it was Nese that got the better of him with a mix of strong style and high flying. I’m a fan of Tony Nese thus far, and Perkins has an upside too. I hope they continue to give them time to wrestle, rather than 2 minute matches on Raw.

Akira Tozawa defeated Jobber

Tozawa beat up a jobber, nothing special.

Austin Aries interviewed himself

Aries is great on the mic, but I’m not convinced he’s that grand.

Neville defeated Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali! What a competitor. This guy is the shining star of NXT and boy, he put on a show. Neville was great too, but Mustafa Ali should be on Raw or Smackdown doing great things. He has all of the moves, all of the timing, and incredible elements that make a good wrestler. Go back and watch this match just for the suplexes, and the high flying elements that

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Results and Review Throw Logic Out The Window Again

Undertaker Looked Awful On Raw, It's Time To Retire - SRC WWE.COM

I am late on posting this review because I was held up by someone wanting to pay me to link to their page. They pulled out like Xavier Woods did with that Paige leak, oh wait, he didn’t pull out. Point is, I am late, no thanks to an SEO company that wanted a backlink. Lame.

Moving forward, March 20 was a great time to be alive, because Raw was going to be in Brooklyn, and the Paige leaks were going to get a lot of attention from the crowd, right? Well, that didn’t exactly happen because WWE knows how to silence crowds in production, and that’s exactly what happened on this show. If you were looking for a logic based wrestling show, you’re going to absolutely want to avoid going back and watching this one, it was about as awful as it can be.

WWE Raw March 20, 2017 Review

The show opened with a talking segment, and I for one am tired of this sort of start to the shows. I miss the days where you would get wrestling and just that. Nope, that’s not what you’re going to get with WWE any longer. You’re going to get drawn out talking segments, which are usually awful. With this opening, Stephanie McMahon fired Mick Foley.

This prompted Sami Zayn to come out and run his mouth, and McMahon to bury him by putting him in a match with Samoa Joe.

Samoa Joe defeated Sami Zayn

Samoa Joe put the boots to Zayn. Zayn did get a few shots in, but it was painfully obvious that Samoa Joe was going to beat Zayn yet again. He won this match by making him pass out. Zayn is a glorified jobber, and that’s really sad. They are wasting his talent. I hope he’s getting paid well, though.

Charlotte Flair defeated Dana Brooke

I was cheering for Dana Brooke. I love her, and I don’t know why. Charlotte didn’t immediately bury Brooke, but definitely had to fight to win this match. Brooke, in my view, should’ve had more offense and being Charlotte’s protégé, should have gotten very close to winning. Flair wins, and that’s the end of Dana, right?

The Brian Kendrick defeated Tj Perkins

This match would have been a barn burner just a few month’s back. Tonight, however, it was short and sweet, and that’s the end of that.

Nia Jax defeated Bayley in a No DQ Match

Bayley was backstage and was run down by Stephanie McMahon. She was put in this match against Nia Jax, and that’s when I remembered. The Women’s Champion is a 12 year old girl. What the hell? Don’t try to think too hard, you’ll break your neck. Nia Jax beat the crap out of Bayley and will be facing off against the rest of the women at Wrestlemania.

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and Enzo and Cass

The Club Sandwich boys were buried in about a minute. They were buried, don’t argue with me. Karl Anderson, the guy that was main event caliber talent in Japan is jobbing fast on Raw. I hope he’s getting paid well.

Austin Aries defeated Tony Nese

I don’t see the big deal with Austin Aries. Tony Nese, however, I have seen time and time again impress the hell out of me. Austin will need to put on a tremendous match at Wrestlemania, otherwise, I don’t care for him, and his bravado. A fast match here, but nothing that stands out in my memory.

Braun Strowman defeated Roman Reigns via disqualification

Braun Strowman was set to get his win back, right? Nope. He was going to get buried again, and you can’t let Roman Reigns look weak. Strowman won this match via disqualification when Old Man Undertaker showed up. Undertaker looked awful. He was slow moving, fat, and he winced taking a simple bump. He then winced when he took the spear, and it just looked awful. Strowman is lost here, and I don’t understand how the WWE can continually bury talent after letting them taste a little crowd interaction.

Raw had more questions than answers folks. Like why would Bayley care if Nia Jax was in the match or not? Why did we see Sasha Banks and Charlotte watch matches sideways? Why is Braun Strowman not involved in Wrestlemania? Why are there only 4 women on Raw? Why hasn’t Chris Jericho defended his title in more than 30 days? Why are the Cruiserweights treated like second class citizens? Why is the wrestling on this show so short?

Oh well. You’ll watch it and you’ll like it. We all will. What a lackluster show folks. Smackdown wasn’t all that better if you ask me. But alas, people think it was.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and few of them are watching and reviewing this show, so if you’re looking for opinions on it, you’re going to find that it’s few and far between. Here are my thoughts on the night of action from the cruiserweights of WWE.

WWE 205 Live March 14, 2017 Review

Mustafa Ali defeated Drew Gulak

Mustafa Ali may be the most underrated wrestler in WWE. Ok, a lot of the guys are underrated. Drew Gulak showed some serious momentum at one point in this match, but was the inverted 450 that took him out. You have to see this move, it’s absolutely stunning. I’m absolutely impressed with the execution every single time. Ali gets the win and Gulak gets frustrated after the fact, yelling into the mic that 205 sucks essentially.

Noam Dar and Ariya Daivari defeated Rich Swann and Gentleman Jack Gallagher

A good match with Noam Dar and Daivari getting their win back. Dar is so good with his selling, and Daivari’s vendetta against Jack Gallagher is great. Rich Swann’s charisma is great too, and all of these guys are fun to watch. This match had a lot of fast moving action, and through it all we were left wondering about Alicia Fouxxxxx. I love Dar’s accent, and this match was good too. Great stuff.

Austin Aries defeated Tj Perkins, The Brian Kendrick, Akira Tozawa, and Tony Nese in a 5 way

What a battle. The 5 way matches on 205 Live are incredible. This was another great one. Every man is over with the crowd here. Tozawa is great, his yelling has grown on me. Nese is a specimen of greatness, and Kendrick as the all out heel is great too. Aries hasn’t grown on me, and I don’t see his appeal just yet. But his finisher and elbow from the top is great. My only major critique here is the constant suicide dives every wrestler does, I’m tired of those. Other than that, this was a great match that should get more views.

Overall, 205 Live is a great wrestling show, and if you’re not watching it, I feel sorry for you. The guys on this show are absolutely talented and should get more attention. Aries and Neville is booked for Mania and should be an interesting match to watch. I don’t expect Aries to win, yet.

I may not be writing columns, but I sure as hell watching and reviewing all of the WWE product that is getting pushed on me. I am missing Main Event, but that’s only because I am already reviewing 4 weekly shows, and the last time I reviewed that show, it was mainly a recap show. So here we go, NXT and then possibly a review of a WCW event for the weekend, and back to the grind, right?

WWE NXT March 8, 2017 Review

This nigiht on NXT, there were only 3 matches, but there was plenty of build up for more elements. This is like Smackdown LITE if you ask me. The opening had Sanity beating up Roderick Strong, and then No Way Jose battling them with Tye Dillinger. Later the Authors of Pain beat up The Revival before a match started. Other than that, there were only 3 matches, which were hit and miss.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated HoHo Lun

HoHo Lun was a stand out for me during the CWC, and I’m glad he got a shot to be in NXT. Almas is ok, I liked when he first came out, but I can’t help but remember that Alberto Del Rio said that he’s miserable. It shows. This was a one sided affair, with Lun just getting beaten up a lot. Almas is not as good as people are saying, and he’s not as good as his debut was for me.

Ember Moon defeated Billie Kay

I finally sat down to see Ember Moon, and I can say that she has a lot of talent. She reminds me of Jackie, but at the same time, she has some timing issues. Billie Kay too, and after taking a stiff top rope rolling stunner, Kay seemed legitimately injured. This was a break neck (no pun intended) match, that resembled a car crash. For all the crap I give Asuka, these women aren’t as good. I can’t see Asuka moving to the main roster and leaving behind such terrible performers. Maybe if they tighten things up? I don’t know.

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated TJ Perkins

I was kind of looking forward to watching this match. I have faith in TJ Perkins, if given the right opponent. This match had a few slow spots, and I swear Nakamura isn’t doing well with learning English, as it could be seen in this match. It was easier to pick up on when he faced Roode, but Perkins seemed to allow things to progress with ease, and Nakamura put on his standard match. There were some great timed spots, and some nice back and forth, but overall, Nakamura is just doing his same old match, evidenced by how dead the crowd was for most of it. Perkins has some upside, but not sure if being buried in NXT is going to be a good thing. This wasn’t a burial, don’t get me wrong, the match was fine, with hard kicks, great reversals, power moves, and top rope action, but a far cry from the best of either guys.

NXT is like Smackdown LITE at this point. This was a show that truly evidenced that. Next week Ohno will fight Roode for the title, and the winner will get Nakamura at Mania weekend. We’ll see how that goes. This was a fast moving show, and only 3 matches, none of which were THAT long, mind you.

This was a slow moving match that ended with Kendrick coming out getting sprayed in the face with mist. Meh.

The guys are talented, but WWE isn’t allowing them to work the frenetic style that made the Cruiserweight Classic so good. WCW had better options because they sold moves, they had strategy, they were great fun, these matches aren’t. These are slow moving matches with a few high spots, and boredom throughout. The crowd hates a lot of it, and I do too.

WWE Monday Night Raw January 2, 2017 Review

You know what’s up. I don’t give you a rundown of everything, but rather notes on the bigger picture, and well, today, there’s a lot to explore.

Mick Foley Is Losing It

This was the worst I’ve seen Foley. He didn’t remember certain things, he was broken down by Stephanie McMahon, and well, he didn’t look good in my view. Sure, he’s skinnier, but he’s not walking right and you just know that this job is causing him issue. Stephanie McMahon is just lost out there, doing something between heel and face, and then face again, I don’t know. She’s not good in this role in my view. What a way to start the new year…boring.

Seth Rollins def. WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens via Disqualification

The same guy that couldn’t put away Brown Shoeman, somehow gets a shot at Kevin Owens? Not only that, Owens used to be a prize fighter, but here, he’s just another cowardly heel that can’t seem to win against some of the main roster guys. Rollins gets disqualified on purpose, this match was boring, and we move on. Oh and Owens can’t be at ringside later for the Jericho match, man.

Braun Strowman def. Sami Zayn in a Last Man Standing Match

This was match of the night. However, Zayn was buried here. He kept pushing to beat down Shoeman, but he couldn’t do it. Chair shots, table breaking, and yet nothing. Shoeman is the second coming of the Undertaker, that is until later this night. Zayn was dead, and basically not winning anyone over. He should’ve won this match, and nope. He loses, because WWE doesn’t seem to have the same investment that they do in Owens. Oh well, Zayn’s done in my book.

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho

Did anyone really think Reigns was going to look weak against Jericho? Roman Reigns is the new Super Cena, only more annoying. He also is looking a little lighter than he was earlier in the air. Perhaps it’s because he’s not on the juice anymore. Jericho is always fun watch, and he tried to win via the old Eddie Guerrero screw job, but nope, the ref didn’t buy it, Reigns hit a spear, and pinned Jericho. The U.S. Title is the worst title on Raw, and it’s because Reigns has it.

Here’s the thing, before this match, Bayley was run down by Stephanie McMahon. It was stupid. I hated it. I don’t understand the creative team, and well, I don’t understand how Charlotte’s going to lose against Bayley. Oh wait. She’s not.

BORING. BORING. Kevin Owens used to be the prize fighter, now he’s just another cowardly champion on a show that has more talking than wrestling. This was ok, but the true story here was that Brown Shoeman was buried by Goldberg and Reigns. That’s it. That’s your story.

WWE Monday Night Raw Review October 31, 2016

Since I watched the whole show, let’s discuss things in brief, since I’m not going to go longwinded on something that was so awful.

Paul Heyman and Rusev confronted Goldberg

Rusev sucks. I said it. Ok, he doesn’t, but he certainly should’ve been selling his injuries from Hell in A Cell, right? He wasn’t. Instead he got in Goldberg’s face, and got a jackhammer for his troubles. Then Heyman got a spear for jacking his jaw, and that was that. Golbderg is ok, I guess. I miss the WCW version circa 1997 – 1999, even if he did knock out Hart.

Enzo Amore def. Luke Gallows in a Trick or Street Fight

I loved this match. I love these matches, and it was a lot of fun to watch. Even though a lot of podcasts buried this, I didn’t. I thought it was fun, and I love how Gallows and Anderson worked in this one. Enzo and Cass were fun too, but this match was just a ball to see. I loved it, even if it wasn’t the most technical.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

TJ Perkins def. WWE Cruiserweight Champion The Brian Kendrick via Count-out

Brian Kendrick is the smartest champion I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve always said that the heel champions should not want to fight fair, and figure out a way to keep the title on their waists, even if it means looking cowardly. This was just smart. Perkins got outsmarted, simple as that.

U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Chris Jericho via Disqualification

I was rooting for Jericho. Reigns sucks, and he was set to win this until Owens interfered and cost him the match. Rollins came out for the save, but why? Why would Seth Rollins care of Reigns is getting beat up? It makes no sense. This will no doubt lead to a tag match, I’m sure.

Raw sucked yet again. It’s a boring affair, and don’t think Smackdown was any better, it wasn’t. This was just awful, with a few sprinkles of fun.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 3, 2016 Review (HULU)

As you know, I don’t write a play by play, I just talk about what I remember, and here we go.

Lana is hot as hell.

Lana asking for a match was cool, but finding out it was going to be a Hell In The Cell match didn’t do much for me. I don’t care about Rusev or Reigns, so that is going to be the point where I take a dump during the PPV.

Brian Kendrick defeated TJ Perkins

Last week, Kendrick won a title shot. This was supposed to be that title match, but guess what? NOPE! The WWE decided it wasn’t, last minute. Kendrick wins, no title change, and everyone in the building was confused. King Ross of Whatculture posted up a graphic of the promotion for this match, and it was in fact a WWE screw job. Nice going WWE, idiots.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day defeated Jeri-KO

Kevin Owens is going to end up on the List of Jericho, just you wait. New Day wins in a boring match. I don’t like the idea of the champion losing matches on Raw, but hey, that’s just me.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Sasha Banks defeated Charlotte to become the new Raw Women’s Champion

Here’s the thing about these title changes, the losers don’t fight back. Charlotte missed a sign here. I would have much rather her be vindictive, jumping back in to beat up the newly crowned champ, and taking her title, even though she lost. Show some aggression, show that despite the loss, you’re still better. She’s the bad guy, she’s supposed to beat up Sasha after the loss she took, and then steal the belt, setting up a huge match for Sunday, but nope. Instead, Charlotte started crying, no sign of Dana Brooke, but from what I read online, she was taken out. This match was good, great to see the women end the night on Raw, and great to see a title change. However, there were some botches, and the ending I didn’t believe quite as much. Also, the crying, there’s no crying in Baseball! I mean, wrestling.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Not a terrible night of wrestling, but not a good one. The HULU edition neutered Raw completely. The above is not just what I remembered, it’s nearly ALL of what they showed on HULU. Oh well. Maybe one day I can afford getting cable, but that’s not going to be today. An ok Raw, and a lackluster build for a PPV this weekend.

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

Best Part of Raw Was The Slap From Hell

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

WWE Monday Night Raw September 27, 2016 Review

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

Roman Reigns is a face?

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

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

The New Day defeated The Club Sandwich Boys

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

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Cesaro and Sheamus defeated Two Jobbers

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

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Sasha Banks slapped the holy hell out of Charlotte

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

T.J. Perkins defeated Tony Nese

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

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho defeated Enzo and Cass

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

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

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

WWE Clash of Champions 2016 Results and Review The Women Steal The Show

The Women Put on A Clinic of Pro-Wrestling

Last night, Indianapolis was the host for Clash of Champions 2016. This event was in my home town and I decided against going. Tickets were as low as a few bucks, but I instead ate pizza and stayed home. I saw the whole thing, and well, here are my thoughts on what went down from Nap Town.

WWE Clash of Champions Results

WWE Clash of Champions Review

Nia Jax def. Alicia Fox (Kickoff Match)

Nia Jax was actually showing that she wasn’t a monster. Alicia Fox put on a showcase of moves, and really took it to Nia. I was surprised with how much offense she was given. Nia Jax would eventually stop everything and get a nice Samoan drop on Alicia Fox and the win. Nice opener.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Chris Jericho def. Sami Zayn

Jericho and Zayn put on a strong showing. However, Sami Zayn losing yet again, is dumb. Zayn can’t win, he’s in Ziggler status now. That’s all. Entertaining match, Jericho wins, stays strong, and that’s the end. I love how Jericho is burying talent. He just can’t lose can he? I love it, you stupid idiots.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

WWE Cruiserweight Champion T.J. Perkins def. Brian Kendrick

I heard several podcasts trash this. I didn’t get it. Why don’t people like the cruiserweights? Seriously!? I wish I had a large audience to discuss this. Unfortunately, I don’t. These two put on a good show, and I liked it. It seemed a little toned down, and from what I hear, they have already told the guys in this division to tone it down. Kendrick looked great in defeat, and Perkins is amazing. These guys should be opening the shows and becoming mid-card entertainment, like in the WCW days. They aren’t ready for the main event, if you ask me.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Cesaro vs. Sheamus ended in a No Contest (Match No. 7 in Best of Seven Series)

I didn’t want to see this. I didn’t care about it. There was a non-finish when they seemed to injure one another. I will say this much, Cesaro needs to stop doing suicide dives. In fact, ALL talent should stop doing them. It’s so watered down, like the DDT. It’s stupid.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day def. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson

The Club Sandwich boys are nothing more than losers. They lose every time. There’s nothing good about this. I didn’t like the match. The New Day won because they cheated when Xavier hit one of the Sandwich boys got hit in the head with a trombone. That’s it. This was stupid. The Club Sandwich is done. Go back to japan, right? Yep. I’m tired of the New Day, I need new Champions!

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Raw Women's Champion Charlotte def. Sasha Banks and Bayley

Match of the night folks. These ladies put on a showcase. I love Dana Brooke, lucky Ziggler is banging her. Charlotte and Sasha’s story continued, but Bayley injected herself into the match and put on a showcase. The story these women told, wow, if you missed it, go back and see it. Everything to me made sense, Charlotte’s moonsault is the number one in the WWE right now. Bayley lost after getting two big boots to the head, and Sasha got thrown off the apron. I loved this. Charlotte is one hell of a Champion, I hope Ric is proud, I’m sure he is.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Roman Reigns def. United States Champion Rusev

Roman Reigns won a boring match. I hated it, I don’t think he’s good, both these idiots suck. No thanks.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens def. Seth Rollins

This was not half bad. However, I’m tired of the main events showing so many kick outs. The story that the guys tell just seems dumb. I recall better stories, but I will say this much, this match was way better than any Dean Ambrose match I’ve seen this year. Yeah, I said it. Owens did well here, Rollins looked injured at one point, he was getting thrown around a great deal. Jericho would come out, the ref would get bumped, and Owens would retain the title. Good match. Nice sexual tension with Stephanie and Seth, though. Look for that angle to play, man, what a lucky dude Trips, I’m just saying.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Overall, Clash of Champions was a fun night of wrestling. I do not regret not going. I would rather not have to deal with nose bleed seats or anything like that. I liked this ppv. I would give the whole thing a 3 out of 5. Good, not great, with some solid wrestling, and some ok moments. That’s that.
