WWE Smackdown Live October 25, 2016 Results and Review The B Show

The Diamond Cutter!!!

Smackdown Live was a better show than Raw, but not by much. I actually saw this whole show, which isn’t saying much.

WWE Smackdown Live October 25, 2016 Review

Bray Wyatt def. Kane in a No Disqualification Match

Kane lost this match, but only after Randy Orton appeared and gave him the Diamond Cutter. Oh, I’m sorry, it’s now called the weak ass RKO. This was a stupid match, and just boring overall.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Alexa Bliss ruins Becky Lynch’s return to SmackDown LIVE

This is how you build a goddamn feud! This was great. Bliss came in, started fighting after the two exchanged words, and then she spray painted a yellow streak behind Becky Lynch. You know, since Becky Lynch had an abortion and missed her match against Bliss at the PPV last month.

The Hype Bros def. The Ascension in a SmackDown LIVE 10-on-10 Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Qualifying Match

This was so boring, I just didn’t care. You know you didn’t care either.

Match rating: 1 out of 5

Nikki Bella def. Natalya to become captain of the SmackDown LIVE 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Women's Elimination Match

Natalya is the resident old person on Smackdown, even though she’s very good. They booked her to lose. It must be nice to be John Cena’s girlfriend, you get to be super woman on Smackdown. This match sucked, although Natalya threw down some great stuff, even if she did lose.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

SmackDown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater & Rhyno def. The Spirit Squad

Nope, nope, nope.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

AJ Styles def. Dean Ambrose via Disqualification

This was a lengthy match, and at one point I actually started to believe that Dean Ambrose would win the title. This however broke down after Aj hit James Ellsworth with a nice dropkick. This prompted Ellsworth to hit him with the super kick, and get Ambrose disqualified for the loss. I didn’t hate this match, even though Ambrose is still boring, it’s the Ellsworth element that made this one watchable overall.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

This night of wrestling was boring. But I will say this much, Smackdown has a way better women’s division than Raw. By having two mainline feuds going that are actually booked very well, they are doing a great service for the women. This is 100 times better than what Raw is doing. Raw just has a bunch of women doing promos about history and what not, boring. This is what you want, blood feuds that are boiling over.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 24, 2016 Results and Review The Worst Raw In History

Fat Ass Kevin Owens vs. Crossfit Jesus 

I’ve seen some bad Raw shows before. But this one, via HULU is the absolute worst piece of garbage I’ve ever seen. There are only a few notes that I can bring forward from the HULU version mind you, that I can even comment about. This is a horrendous show, and you know it was, admit it.

WWE Monday Night Raw October 24, 2016 Review

The above represents the full show, but guess what? Hulu completely neutered this, for better or worse. Whatever the case is, here are my highlights because I don’t want to relive anything here.

The List of Jericho is Over

Who would’ve thought that in 2016, the List of Jericho is more over than 90 percent of the roster? When Kevin Owens finally shows up on the List of Jericho, things are going to absolutely blow up. I can’t wait for that, it’s going to be epic, no doubt.

Sasha Banks Is Annoying As All Hell

Let me ask this, why is Charlotte and Sasha Banks fighting in Hell in A Cell? Why? Is it because they couldn’t get a finish to their match? Were they interfering with each other’s matches? Were they beating up the ref? Were they bloody or hitting each other with chairs? Nope. It’s just a matter of “history”? Spare me. This is a stupid, stupid, idiot move by the creative team. These two can go, but honestly, they don’t need the cage, unless there’s going to be blood.

Brock Lesnar Promo

No promo. From what I read, Vince blew a gasket and ended this. Paul Heyman also admitted that the promo sucked. Lesnar was supposed to get booed, he didn’t.

Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho

This was a saving grace, but the wrong guy went over. Seth Rollins is being booked as Super Cena, and I hate that. He should’ve taken a loss because Jericho and Owens teamed up against him. Nope. Instead, we get a lackluster main event, with some interesting spots, and fat ass Kevin Owens power bombing Cross Fit Jesus into the apron. Who cares.

WWF Royal Rumble 2001 Results and Review: A Better VHS Experience

For this review we are going back to 2001 for the Royal Rumble! The Royal Rumble in 2001 was stacked. It was absolutely stacked with some of the best wrestlers from all eras of wrestling. Remember, this was just a few months before WCW would get bought out, and it was the same year that one of the most epic battles went down at Wrestlemania.

This event was held at the MCI Center In New Orleans and had 17,137 people in attendance. It was one of the hottest crowds in 2001, and definitely one of the better options that you will want to consider. The VHS version has all unedited footage, with all original music, and a lot more to offer compared to the network version, but the network does have this event up. With that in mind, let’s get to the big event with the following results and review.

WWF Royal Rumble 2001 Results

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) defeated Edge and Christian
Chris Jericho defeated Chris Benoit
Ivory (c) (with Steven Richards) defeated Chyna
Kurt Angle defeated Triple H
Stone Cold Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble

WWF Royal Rumble 2001 Review

First and foremost, the crowd for this event was absolutely going insane from the start of the show. The opening match alone had people going crazy, but it was the Rumble match itself that really took things to another level.

The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) defeated Edge and Christian

This was a fast paced match that saw the Dudley Boyz capture the Tag Team titles from the duo of Edge and Christian. The crowd was great for this, and the match was very back and forth. Edge and Christian did the “Wazzup” spot at one point, or at least tried, and the crowd lost themselves completely. Even through the network’s terrible editing, you could hear the pandemonium going on.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Chris Jericho defeated Chris Benoit (IC Title Ladder Match)

As far as ladder matches are concerned, this is one of the better ones. However, there were moments that didn’t make sense from a story telling stand point. The Walls of Jericho on a ladder just doesn’t fit, if you ask me. However, the overall push of this match was good, and Jericho was doing grand things in WWE compared to his last WCW run from 1998 – 1999.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Ivory (c) (with Steven Richards) defeated Chyna

This was a weird match. I forgot how good Chyna really was. She did a spot and landed awkwardly, which sold an injury. The injury angle was treated as real, and I had to look online to see if it was in fact real. It wasn’t. This ended too early.



Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Kurt Angle defeated Triple H

One hell of a match. Triple H and Angle put on a great show here. It was powerful, fast paced, and Angle’s slams were just second to none. It’s funny, 1 year earlier, Angle was getting tapped out to Tazz, and this year he’s in the championship title match with Trips. The match was great, ref bumps and all, and of course Stone Cold running in to beat up Triple H. The crowd went ballistic when Stone Cold showed up and beat up Triple H. great stuff here. Angle won.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Stone Cold Steve Austin won the Royal Rumble

The main event, and one of the better Royal Rumble matches. There were a few surprise entrants, but nothing too great. The best part about this was the amount of big hitters from this year. Undertaker, Kane, Stone Cold, Rikishi, The Rock, and so much more were involved in this one. The Rock got a serious beat down, Triple H nearly cost Stone Cold’s win, and he was busted wide open, great stuff. This is the second best Royal Rumble right behind Royal Rumble 1992.

Match Rating: 5 out of 5

Overall, you should look for the original DVD or VHS tape as it was heavily edited from the original if you see it on the network. I noticed a lot of errors, and at one point there’s a complete change and omission in the Royal Rumble match. The production crew either blatantly messed something up, or they edited, cut, and deleted 11 seconds of the Royal Rumble match. I am thinking it’s a full censorship of someone flashing the camera, a crotch grab, a boob, or something. It’s so noticeable, you will know when it happens.

WWE Smackdown Live October 11, 2016 Results and Review WTF

Best Part of Smackdown 

Holy crap did Smackdown drop off a cliff this week. After an interesting PPV, albeit somewhat odd, this night of Smackdown was just awful, and here are my thoughts on the Hulu edition of it.

WWE Smackdown Live October 11, 2016 Results

Dolph Ziggler def. The Spirit Squad
Naomi def. Carmella
Jimmy Uso def. Chad Gable
James Ellsworth def. AJ Styles with Dean Ambrose as guest referee
Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper def. Randy Orton & Kane

WWE Smackdown Live October 11, 2016 Review

Dolph Ziggler def. The Spirit Squad

Word on the street is that The Spirit Squad are staying in the WWE for a while. You have to remember that the guys are very young, so they have a lot of bumps to take in wrestling. As for this match, it was dumb. I don’t like a single wrestler beating a tag team, but I guess this worked. The Miz cut a great promo before, and then beat up Dolph on his way out. I hope this doesn’t lead to more matches between these guys, as I’m sick of seeing them wrestle by now.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Naomi def. Carmella

Not a great match, and you know what? It smells of “DIVAS” division.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

Jimmy Uso def. Chad Gable

Boring match, nothing great here. I fell asleep.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

James Ellsworth def. AJ Styles with Dean Ambrose as guest referee

Dean Ambrose finally makes the antics work as he was the guest referee for this match up. James Ellsworth is getting some great time on Smackdown, to the detriment of others, but good for him! 14 years in the business, and he is on Smackdown, pinning the champion! That’s right, he pinned Styles and will now get a title shot next week. He’ll lose, but what a rush for James Ellsworth!

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper def. Randy Orton & Kane

Another boring match that I didn’t care about. Oh well. Kane sucks, Orton is stale, and the Wyatts don’t usually win much.

Match Rating: 1 out of 5

At the end of the day, Smackdown and Raw were weak shows. Without a ppv for about 7 weeks, Smackdown will get relegated to the B show in my book. This night was boring to me, and well, who cares, right?

WCW The Great American Bash 1997 Results and Review: A Better VHS Experience

The Great American Bash 1997 Poster 

On June 15, 1997 around 9,613 people packed into The Mark of the Quad Cities in Moline, Illinois for The Great American Bash. This had a total of 9 matches and nearly ran out of time when it was presented. I didn’t get it live, but I had the VHS tape and can tell you that the WWE network experience is very edited. The music is different, the signs are blurred, and even some of the commentary is missing. Also, there are edits in the angles, and much more. It’s for that reason why I recommend you get the vhs tape.

WCW The Great American Bash 1997 Review

From the results, you are not going to be blown away. But there were some insane matches on this card, and that’s what saves this overall. If you’re a collector then you will definitely want to pick up the VHS tape of this, or if you’re a casual WCW fan, then check out the WWE Network, neutered version.

Ultimate Dragon defeated Pyschosis

The first match on the card wasn’t fast paced. It was an ongoing storyline in which Sonny Onoo was recruiting cruiserweight talent to beat up Ultimate Dragon because he didn’t want to align with Onoo any longer. Anyways, this match was really good, well paced, and strong style. Dragon is an incredible talent, and Psychosis should’ve been on par with Rey Mysterio in the WWE, but for whatever reason the WWE never gave him a shot the same way. Anyways, this match was exciting, and had a great overall finish.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Harlem Heat defeated The Steiner Bros. by disqualification

The one thing that I took away from this match was that it was strong, and stiff. The Steiner Brothers and Harlem Heat were not pulling punches. They were hitting as hard as they could against one another, and it looked awful on the screen. If you’re a fan of hard hitting action, this match will suffice.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Konnan defeated Hugh Morrus

Hugh Morrus always surprised me. I loved how fast he could move in ring. Konnan has always been a favorite of mine, and in this match he really worked well with Hugh. Even though the match was passable, it wasn’t anything to write home about.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Glacier defeated Wrath

This was a slow down in the event, but the two guys were feuding at the time. Glacier has a really cool entrance and I loved the idea at the time. Going back to see it, however, it wasn’t that grand. It was ok.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Akira Hokuto defeated Madusa for the WCW Women’s Championship and retirement

Madusa’s final match, and it wasn’t half bad. Madusa loses the title and retires here. She seemed to have legitimately hurt her knee here. Other than that, it was ok, nothing crazy, in a wasted division on WCW.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5

Chris Benoit defeated Meng

Chris Benoit had been going through the Dungeon of Doom 1 by 1. This was another hurdle he had to cross this year. Every PPV Benoit was getting beat up by Kevin Sullivan and the Dungeon of Doom. This was a hard hitting match, and Benoit came through with great toughness, and if you follow wrestling, then you already know that this led to the retirement of Kevin Sullivan at Bash At The Beach 97, which was a great match between the two.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Kevin Greene defeated Steve McMichael

Even though this sounds terrible, it wasn’t half bad. It was a fun match, even though it seems like an odd pick today.

Match Rating: 2 out of 5




The Outsiders defeated Ric Flair and Roddy Piper

Roddy Piper had hip surgery and he had a HUGE scar on his leg, and the outsiders were attacking at will. Flair and Piper did well here, and it was interesting to see them fight The Outsiders to get the titles, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be. The big men were not ready to vacate just yet, and they won with the crowd going absolutely nuts. Standard match here, nothing too crazy, but always fun to see Flair and Piper put on performances.

Match Rating: 3 out of 5

Randy Savage defeated Diamond Dallas Page in a Falls Count Anywhere Match

Now, this was the main reason why I wanted to rewatch this event. Savage and DDP had been feuding with the two fighting across Nitro. The two would meet this time around for the second time, the previous encounter being at Spring Stamped 1997. In that match, DDP was able to get the win after an insane finish. This time around, Macho won with help from Scott Hall. DDP and Savage worked very stiff here, like a glove, and the refs got beat down throughout. DDP had a legit looking rib injury and Savage landing on his ribs nearly killed the guy, as you may have heard from shoot interviews. You can see it right after the 3 count as DDP tells Macho to get off of his ribs. This 15 minute match was everything that a good feud should be, and the two just made each other so much better. Great match that would lead to a third and final match at Halloween Havoc 1997.

Match Rating: 4 out of 5

The main reason to watch WCW The Great American Bash 1997 is for that main event. That main event holds up very well, with the two putting on a showcase of strong wrestling, and the crowd going absolutely nuts for it. Great match, albeit a bit short.

I recommend getting WCW The Great American Bash 1997 by clicking here for the VHS tape, and NOT watching it on the WWE Network.

This is heavily edited without the original music, and a lot of other liberties that the WWE has gone through to make this a bit different. If you haven’t seen the original, you won’t notice it, but I have seen the original and had the VHS tape so I can tell you it’s way different.

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.

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.

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.

Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day defeated Jeri-KO

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.
