WWE 205 Live August 14, 2018 Results and Review

The WWE starts 205 Live, often, with wrestling and this was no doubt a good example.

Lio Rush defeated Akira Tozawa

This was a fast paced match, with few stops, and the two were fighting back and forth in every way. From the top rope, to the bottom rope, to flying around, to submission moves, the two put each other through some great back and forth. However, it was the end of Tozawa when Rush was able to hit the incredible frog splash. He gets an incredible amount of height on that thing, and Tozawa legit had the wind knocked out of him. Rush is the real deal.

Hideo Itami defeated A Jobber

This was a job match, and Itami won, and he kept saying that people should respect him.

Cedric Alexander defeated Jack Gallagher

This was a worthy main event for any show. Gallagher put in a lot of work here, and was able to take Alexander to a limit for sure. However, it was Alexander’s constant fight that turned upside down, and caused serious problems for Gallagher in the end. Jack went into a standing Spanish fly and boom, Gallagher went out cold.

Of course, Gulak and Kendrick would run down and cause a disruption, and that was the end of the show. A good overall night of wrestling, that’s for sure.

The show opened up with talking. Carmella, Charlotte, and Becky were in ring, all in gear, and just talked. I hate this.

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch defeated Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

This was an interesting little match, and it ended up going a bit longer than I thought. This was a good match in theory, with Rose and Deville throwing down some good moves here and there, but alas, it was the team of Flair and Lynch that would get the win. That was the end of that. It’s sad to see no Asuka, and these two getting beat yet again. A tap out victory, and that was that. Oh, and Carmella on commentary was horrendous. She should’ve cost the duo the match somehow, instead, she just watched them.

The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Triple Threat

Meh

The New Day defeated Sanity

If you thought Sanity was going to get a fair shake on the main roster, you were wrong. That’s right, they once again end up having a serious problem, even though they put up a good fight. There was some great overall moves from the Sanity group, but it was New Day that was going to win this one and well, that was that. A good match, with some fun, and pancakes.

Throughout the night they showed stories of The Miz and Daniel Bryan, which weren’t bad.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Aiden English

Well, Aiden English lost this one, and it was fairly one sided. Cien Almas won and that’s that. Meh. It was a match. Zelina Vega is hot though. I love her.

Jeff Hardy defeated Shelton Benjamin

Remember when Shelton Benjamin was a big deal coming back? Not any longer. He lost here in a short match against Hardy, and that was that. Nakamura tried to come in and fight, but he got a Swanton for his trouble, and that was that. This was a fast moving element, and well, it was fun to watch none the less.

AJ Styles Talks To The Crowd

This is how you end a wrestling show? With more talking? South Park parody yet again. Samoa Joe came out and read a letter from Wendy Styles, and I yawned, and blinked, and the show was over.

This was the end result of the show? Really? Come on!

WWE Monday Night Raw August 13, 2018 Results and Review The Lunatic Fringe Returns

Dean Ambrose - SRC WWE 

I don’t follow a lot of people on Twitter, but based on who I do follow, this show wasn’t grand. But was it that bad? Let’s find out!

WWE Monday Night Raw August 13, 2018 Results and Review

The opening of the show featured Ronda Rousey, and of course the crowd gave her a huge ovation. The announce table got Renee Young, and it was cool to see a woman in the booth. Ronda went into the ring to talk, and I immediately cringed. She should not be TALKING! Ugh. WWE knows how to ruin things, don’t they?

Alexa Bliss comes out and talks. She runs down Ronda Rousey and then introduced her security team. They sucked, because Ronda beat the hell out of them, showing off their Judo abilities.

Alexa Bliss was scheduled for a match with Ember Moon, and that would open the show after the 12 minute mark or so, because of course, we need to have talking.

Ember Moon vs. Alexa Bliss

Sometimes I feel like I’m watching WCW. Why? Because, the WWE continues to have matches that don’t get finished. They get ruined during a good thing. I recently saw a match with Rey Mystery Jr and Vampire from Nitro, and it was going really well, and some great moments were found, only for the match to get thrown out due to interference. The same thing happened here, as Ronda Rousey and Alicia Fox were involved in the match, and caused it to get thrown out. Ember Moon looked good here, and almost pinned Bliss after her finisher, but alas, Fox came in and messed things up, so that was the end of that. The announcers immediately glossed over this, and noted that Rousey will be facing Bliss this weekend. She did rag doll Fox, which was fun to watch, but other than that, Bliss escapes without losing again. Moon is great to watch, by the way.

I am so tired of Talking and Recaps!

Yet again, we are seeing recaps, and rewinds, as well as talking and it’s stupid. Raw wastes a lot of time between wrestling, and you really don’t feel like you’re watching a wrestling show.

Baron Corbin defeated Tyler Breeze

Breeze got a little bit of offense in this match, but it was Corbin that would get the last laugh as he won with the Deep Six. He was winded after a short match. Breeze loses again, and well, he’s lost as there’s no more fashion files, and there’s no more Fandango. After the match Baron Corbin got on the mic, and introduced Jinder Mahal. This was not a great match, but hey, I liked the finish, Deep Six is a great move, and he won, yet again. I didn’t doubt that would happen. Also introduced, was Kevin Owens. Jinder and Owens would face off against Finn Balor in a handicap match. How is Owens still fat? Braun Strowman got into the match.

Braun Strowman and Finn Balor defeated Jinder Mahal and Kevin Owens

You knew that Strowman and Balor wouldn’t lose. They didn’t, they rolled right through Owens and Mahal, and well, I guess that’s the story that we always get. At this point, I don’t know who’s going to win at Summerslam, or should I say, Summerfest. Either way, Strowman took out both Mahal and Owens here, and Balor was a non-sequitur in many ways. An ok match at best, and well, I didn’t care. I’m too tired to care. After the match Corbin hit the End of Days on Balor, and that was that. Balor was left laying in the ring, and he should just go back to NJPW if you ask me. They would give him a better shot than just letting him take falls and look like a chump against Corbin every week.

Random Jobber Gets Killed By Lashley

There was supposed to be a match here, as the Elias segment. But nope. Lashley beat down some random jobber, even though the job hit Lashley with a guitar shot to the head. This wasn’t a match, just a beat down and that was that.

The B Team defeated The Deleters of Worlds, and The Revival in a Triple Threat Match

For such a compelling matchup, they weren’t given much time. The whole thing seemed to last very little time, but they managed to put in some good spots. The match’s greatest spot had to be a superplex off the top rope from Hardy on one of the Revival members, into their opponents on the floor. It was one hell of a shot, and it’s quite the moment. Other than that, this was your standard tag team match with The B Team winning at the end.

Roman Reigns came out, and the fans were booing, as usual. I booed from home. I am tired of hearing, “here comes the Big Dog”, ugh. Michael Cole still sucks after all of these years. Paul Heyman came out and tried to get Roman Reigns to join him, but instead, he sprayed him in the face with something, and that was that. All this time to get Roman Blinded, then out came Brock Lesnar, and while Roman was blinded, he hit Roman with the F5 and the crowd was not cheering for Roman. They cheered for Brock yet again. Well, there you have it, another beat down on Roman, did you expect anything else? Meh. Just meh.

Apollo Crews, Titus Oneill and Bobby Roode defeated The AOP and Some Other Dude

This match was so fast, that I blinked and it was done. Yeah, this match sucked to say the least. It was too fast. Meh. Nothing to report here folks.

Ruby Riott defeated Sasha Banks

Ruby Riott got a blood nose in this match, but other than that, you’re going to find that the match was back and forth, with lots of fighting, and in the end, Riott was able to win over Banks. That’s really because of outside interference, let’s be honest. This match was short, and well, it ended in a distraction roll up.

The Contract Signing of Rollins and Ziggler

We ended the show without wrestling. It was a contract signing, and we saw Dan Ambrose return. Meh. Just meh. This was the go home show for Summerslam. This sucks. Lame.

Raw was tiring. Terrible, just awful, and yet we all watch it.

WWE 205 Live August 7, 2018 Results and Review 54 Minutes of Action This Time

Mustafa Ali Knocked Out - Source WWE 

No talking! Yay!

Tony Nese and Buddy Murphy defeated The Lucha House Party

A great back and forth match to open the show, with lots of action. While the bigger guys tried to ground the Lucha Dudes, the Lucha guys were able to take on a great deal of action to the floor, to the air, and in the ring. They weren’t a match for the big guys, as eventually we got a roll up and a beat down outside to finish things off. It was a good opener, but I feel like I’ve seen every combination of these guys ever, so it’s kind of odd to see them yet again fighting.

Noam Dar defeated Sean Maluta

Noam Dar wins an easy match overall. Nothing too great here. Maluta seems to have lost weight.

Hideo Itami defeated Mustafa Ali

If there was a match of the week, then you would have to give it to this one. Hideo Itami and Mustafa Ali went to war in this match, and put on a 4 star classic if you ask me. Itami was busted wide open in the mouth, and he took Ali to the limit. The two threw everything they had against one another, and at the end of the day, Itami was able to knock out Ali with several amazing dropkicks. You would be surprised how good this match was, and if you don’t watch 205 Live, then you certainly missed out on something big here.

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

Big E Punches Hard - Source WWE

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

Charlotte and Becky Lynch defeated The Iconics

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

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

Zelina Vega defeated Lana

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

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

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

Shinsuke Nakamura defeated R Truth

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

The New Day defeated The Bar

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

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