WWE Monday Night Raw October 10, 2016 Results and Review Oldberg To Come Back

Everything Wrong With Raw Right Here

Oldberg is right. Bill Goldberg is not a young man. His best days are far behind him. Brock Lesnar is lazy, boring and not worth the money the WWE pays him. I don’t need to see him do 17 suplexes on Goldberg. If the WWE thinks that this is going to boost ratings, they are wrong. But let’s talk about Raw a bit more than this, and see why I am not so high on the product yet again.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 10, 2016 Review

This is from the HULU edition and it was not strong if you ask me. Here are my thoughts on what stood out.

Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks challenged Charlotte to a Hell in a Cell Match

The buildup was all wrong here. Sasha Banks should have asked Charlotte for the cage match because Dana Brooke kept interfering. She should have said that she was tired of the interference, and Charlotte squeaking by with title win after title win, and that the cage would keep Dana out and leave Charlotte in. Nope. They didn’t do that. Instead, Sasha said they could make history and what not, who cares. Sasha shouldn’t be champion just yet, that’s my two cents.

Bayley def. Cami Fields

Bayley is lost in the Raw mid card. She beat up a jobber, this was boring. Bayley is wasted here.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks & U.S. Champion Roman Reigns def. Charlotte & Rusev

Sasha Banks and Roman Reigns won this match, showing that the challengers are weak. Why would you lead into a new event with the champions going over huge, as if the bad guys just aren’t that good? Way to build up your talent. This was stupid. I didn’t like it, although the ending of the match was kind of interesting. Where was Dana Brooke? Where was Lana’s interference? Something, anything, nope, the good guys win clean, the bad guys look like chumps, why should I care?

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Ok, the WWE said that the show wasn’t going to be about the general managers, and yet we have a long segment with them in the middle of the ring. Then we have matches getting signed, and random cheap pops going on. So much so that I just gave up on the show at that point. I fell asleep, and apparently missed nothing. Rollins beat Jericho, boring, and something else happened.

Oh, and no one wants to see Goldberg aka OLDBERG. What a lousy show.

WWE No Mercy 2016 Review

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

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

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

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Aj Styles defeated Dean Ambrose and John Cena

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

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Nikki Bella defeated Carmella

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

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Heath Slater and Rhyno defeated The Usos

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

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Baron Corbin defeated Jack Swagger

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

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Dolph Ziggler defeated The Miz

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

Naomi defeated Alexa Bliss

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

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Bray Wyatt defeated Randy Orton

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

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Final Notes on No Mercy 2016

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

WTF Moment WWE Monday Night Raw October 3, 2016

WWE Smackdown October 4, 2016 Results and Review A Terrible Night of Wrestling

What's Up Konnan!!!!

WWE Smackdown is supposed to be better than Raw. Up to this point, they were doing well, but this show, this was the most terrible showcase of the brand split. It’s absolutely horrendous what they are doing with this, and despite my objections, I sat through it all enough to review it below.

WWE Smackdown October 4, 2016 Review

Kane defeated Bray Wyatt via Count Out

You did not read that wrong. Bray Wyatt and Kane faced off again! The same match we had at the PPV, and where was Orton? Not wrestling. He was setting up a trap for Wyatt. Whatever the case is, this match sucked, and while Kane is a good worker, he’s lost in this shuffle. I was bored, the crowd wasn’t into it, and this match ended with a count out. Who cares?

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

The Divas Are Back!

The women’s tag team match was set up like Teddy Long. This was a “straight up” tag team match, and guess what? It blew chunks. This match reminded me exactly of the divas era, and nothing more than that. I am not impressed with any of the women in this match, and just hope that they pull together a better option down the line. I’m not going to stop calling them divas, by the way, so kick rocks.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

The Hype Bros defeated The Vaudevillains

Oh boy. Remember when The Vaudevillains had that huge push, and they were getting a lot of attention from NXT and Blue Pants, and so much more? Well no one else does, they didn’t get an entrance here, the Hype Bros won big, and that was that. This is a sad day for a bygone era.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

The Spirit Squad Returned!

The Spirit Squad came back and beat up Dolph Ziggler. I really hope that Dolph just goes away. He has to lose and I hope that the WWE uses Miz to get even more and more heat. He should adopt the Chris Jericho defeat gimmick from 1998, taking pieces of his victims. I loved WCW back when Jericho was doing that, and 1998 was a great one for the cruiserweight title and Jericho. This sucked.

Jason Jordan defeated Jay Uso

This match was so fast, that I didn’t have time to eat my oatmeal. It sucked.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Jack Swagger defeated Baron Corbin

What the hell ref? Corbin was reaching for the ropes, but the ref called it a tap out and that was that. Swagger wins, Corbin throws a fit, and I don’t know, this was just stupid.
Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Randy Orton captured Bray Wyatt and he escaped.

Sister Abigail helped Wyatt. Oh well.

Aj Styles, John Cena and Dean Ambrose brawled, and that was that.

This show was absolutely terrible. It was not good at all, and no one can justify it. It’s just a sad sack of a show, face it.

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.
