WWE 205 Live July 24, 2018 Results and Review

Fatal Four Way Action - Source WWE

The most exciting hour of television is only 45 minutes long.

Akira Tozawa defeated Jack Gallagher

Gallagher was one of my favorite members of the cruiserweight division, but now? Meh. Tozawa was able to garner a win in the opener, and honestly, this was a fun match with some nice back and forth movements. This was not a squash, it was very competitive, but Tozawa would get the win with his Senton which gets so much air, it's impressive. This was fun, and I loved how Tozawa getting the finisher, with great height. Great opening match if you ask me.

Lince Dorado and Kalisto defeated Jobbers

A jobber match. That's it. Another jobber match on WWE tv? Why? Don't they have enough people? Seriously! You know what happened.

Drew Gulak defeated Mustafa Ali, TJP, and Hideo Itami

This was a hard fought match, with a lot of entertainment factors. You have to expect this from the guys on 205 live in 4 way matches. it was fun, and it definitely had a lot of back and forth. At the end of the day, however, it was the slow and methodical pace of Gulak that won this frenetic race. A lot of action here, including a lot of amazing hits with Mustafa getting the worst of it all. Great match, and perhaps the best of this week from WWE.

WWE Smackdown July 24, 2018 Results and Review

The Miz Surprises Daniel Bryan - Source WWE

The B show simply feels like a B show to me. This night proves it yet again.

WWE Smackdown July 25, 2018 Results and Review

Randy Orton showed up. I didn't care. He talked about how the people don't respect him, and he questioned everyone, he was just going through the same Hideo Itami type of thing. He stopped short of saying, "respect me". It was stupid. I don't care about this guy.

We then got a recap of what happened on Raw, which featured Stephanie McMahon saying she invented women's wrestling, etc. On a wrestling show, the first 20 some odd moments were NOT wrestling. How cool is that? It's not.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Rusev

The tables turned on Rusev when Aiden English ran in to the match to try and stop Zelina and Lana fighting, but it caused issues. Rusev got distracted, then lost big time. Rusev and Almas put on a good match, although it was somewhat short, but Almas would get the big win, and that's that. A distraction on the outside was the big deal here. Aiden English and Rusev are headed to splitsville, I'm sure.

Samoa Joe defeated R Truth

Yeah, I typed that. It happened. I will say this much, R Truth is the most athletic guy ever! He's awesome, and was able to catch off Samoa Joe until of course things took a turn, and Truth was put to sleep after a couple of moves. Oh well, short match, but Truth is awesome.

Asuka defeated Billie Kay

I was reviewing a porno movie the other day and Billie Kay looked a lot like a porno actress. Anyways, Asuka won this match after an initial flurry from the iconic member. It was ok at best. Asuka wins, and well, that's it. A throw away women's match.

Aj Styles Opponent Announcement

Paige was going to announce the next opponent, but before she couuld, James Ellsworth came out and wanted a title shot, since he has beaten Aj Styles 3 times! James Ellsworth was fired! Yeah, this was entertaining, but it wasn't the opponent we thought about. Samoa Joe will be the next gu, and he beat up Styles. He won't win, but he signed his name.

Becky Lynch defeated Carmella

This was another women's match that wasn't too long, and it ended with the ending you would expect. Becky Lynch would win with her submission, and well, that was that. The end. Not a great match, not a terrible one either, and well, it ended well enough.

The New Day defeated Sanity

Wow, so Sanity is now buried. The New Day rolled through Sanity with seemingly no difficulty. The Usos were on commentary of course, and well that was ok. The Usos jumped the ringside and out came The Bar! I thought the Bar was on Raw? I guess not? Either way, The new Day defeated Sanity, and to me, it's a burial.

Out came The Bar with mics and started to talk random things, and well that was that. I didn't care.

The Miz Premier

Ugh. Just ugh. Daniel Bryan ran out and beat up security and went to the ring. Bryan came into the ring, and Miz threw a baby doll at Bryan then kicked him and hit the Skull Crushing Finale, and that was that. I guess this is the start of the feud. Ok, good, I'm sick of this. Miz is good, but this was the B show. This is the best that WWE has? That's the best wrestling? I can't believe this bs.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 23, 2018 Results and Review

Super Man Punch! - SRC WWE 

Well, I didn't want to watch Raw, but hey, this site needs updates right? We start the show with Vince McMahon in ring.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 23, 2018 Results and Review

Vince McMahon introduced Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. Well, she came out and said that women can be anything, except ugly on WWE. Oh, she didn't say that? Well, there's going to be an all women's WWE PPV called "Evolution" on October 28, 2018. It will be the first ever all women's PPV for the WWE. Oh great, oh great, so exciting. Sigh. This is stupid, but hey, whatever. I'll watch it, because I do that, and you 2 readers out there still listen or watch or read or do something for this blog, right? Lol.

The B Team defeatd Woken Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt in the WWE Tag Team Championship Match

In what was an odd match, the B Team was able to once again upend the Deleters of Words. The match wasn't that great, it was slow, prodding, and eventually featured Wyatt and Hardy getting shuffled around and thrown into one another where Curtis Axle was able to get the pin. It was a quick ending to a short match, and after the match the Deleters of Worlds gave the B team their finishing manuever. The B Team still have the championships.

Bayley and Sasha Banks Make Up

I'm so tired of seeing Bayley and Sasha, and the backstage elements. They apparently LOVE one another now? I hate this. It's so stupid.

Sasha and Bayley defeated Two Jobbers

This was boring. A jobber match and that's it. If you like jobber matches, then, this was great for you. I didn't think it was fun to watch, it was just a boring throwaway match.

Elias got interrupted by Braun Strowman.

Elias was introduced but out came Braun Strowman and he cut a promo. Then out come Corbin and Kevin Owens. Then Jinder came out, and well, this was a comedy segment, and wow, just wow, this was not good. No wrestling here, just comedy with one of the Singh brothers getting a beat down.

Mickie James defeated Natalya

This wasn't a 30 second match, but it certainly wasn't that long. It was not a great match, but I always love seeing Mickie James, and well, Natalya was able to throw down a great deal, and she had this match in the bag, until Alexa kept distracting her and well, that let James get the Mick Kick and that was that. Natalya goes down, which wasn't a bad match, but it wasn't a great one either.

The Authors of Pain Cut A Promo

They said they didn't want Titus Worldwide. But that's who came out. I love Dana Brooke, by the way. The guys ended up catching a beating, and Authors of Pain got thrown out of the ring by Titus Worldwide.

Mojo defeated Tyler Breeze

Tyler Breeze basically got jobbed out to Mojo, and that was that. It was a short match, and that's it.

Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre via Disqualification

This was a good match for the most part, but it would get ruined by a disqualification from Ziggler. After Balor was starting to win, and then got thrown off of his game, Seth Rollin ran down and beat up Drew McIntyre, and ran off the duo.

Of course this prompted Kurt Angle to play the Teddy Long Card. He decided to make a new match that was a straight up tag match, playa, playa!

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor defeated Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler

Well, this was a match. It was fast paced, it had a lot of action, and honestly, McIntyre and Ziggler caught a beat down with Rollins getting the big win this time around. It was a fun match, but I feel that it didn't matter as much as I'd like. I'm seriously tired of seeing Ziggler, as he's a loser. But then again, McIntyre looks great right now, I hope he continues to get a push.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

This was another short match, but it was effective. Ember Moon was able to throw down against Liv Morgan, and the Eclipse hit hard, with Morgan getting knocked out and that was that. Liv MOrgan is hot, by the way. Just saying. Moon is so strong and athletic, I'm impressed.

Elias played a song.

This was ok, I guess. Elias has an album out. He got cut short, as he wasn't able to get moving forward throughout the night.

Roman Reigns defeated Bobby Lashley

This was a different type of match than their match at Extreme Rules. There were 3 Superman Punches here and Lashley was still standing. There was a spear from both men, and after some back and forth, it was Reigns that hit a mega spear at around the 2 hour and 22 minute mark or rather that the third hour and boom, Lashley was defeated. Bobby Lashley threw down a great offensive match, but he lost here, and that was that. He would shake Roman Reign's hand and that was that. Reigns gets another shot at Brock Lesnar, and that's that.

Overall, Raw wasn't that great, but it didn't completely suck either. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. It was just there.

Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2018 Results and Review

Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2018 

Slammiversary from Impact came through Canada and well, I knew nothing about the event other than Tommy Dreamer was booked on it. So, let's find out how it was. I heard on Twitter that it was good, so let's find out, this could very well be the best Impact Wrestling since 2006? Well, let's find out. This is my take on the event, since I watched it this morning.

Impact Wrestling Slammiversary 2018 Results and Review

Johnny Impact defeated Fenix, Bone Soldier, and Petey Williams

The opener for this show featured 4 great wrestlers, and it was a fun thing to watch. Every single high spot you could get was thrown at you through this match, and it was interesting to see how things worked out. Every member of this match was going all out, throwing themselves throughout the ring, and really showcasing great athletic abilities. There were so many moves, you'll have to see it for yourself. Of course, Starship Pain gets the victory in the finish, but wow, what a matchup.

Tessa Blanchard defeated Allie

I had no idea who Allie was, and well, she did a lot to fight through Blanchard's offense. Tessa Blanchard is one hell of an athlete, and once again proves that she's very good as a wrestler. She has power, and strength, and is great in ring. I found the match to be fun, and filled with a lot of back and forth moments. Given a good deal of time, and a lot of back and forth, this was no doubt a great match for women. I had fun, and Blanchard should be in WWE at a top level.

Eddie Edwards defeated Tommy Dreamer in a House of Hardcore Match

If you're into hardcore matches, then of course you're going to like how this turns out. Tommy Dreamer did a great deal of work here, and Edwards waas bleeding out bad, but overall, the match was just a hard hitting affair. Edwards would get the win, but not without taking a beating, and of course, giving Tommy Dreamer a beating as well. I'm ok without having too many matches in the hardcore arena, that's just me. Dreamer is still wrestling? Wow.

Brian Cage defeated Matt Sydal

Wow, Brian Cage impressed me the most here. Matt Sydal was good, no doubt, but Brian Cage was able to catch Sydal in every single instance, and I was absolutely impressed. Cage would eventually get the win, but wow, Sydal was impressive as well. Cage is an interesting wrestler.

Su Yung defeated Madison Rayne

I love Su Yung's character here, and she threw down a lot of offense against Madison Rayne. Rayne wasn't a slouch, she was able to fight a great one if you ask me. I mean not amazing, but still enough to make this an interesting match, with Yung winning in the end. I liked this a lot. It was a good match, and an interesting title defense for sure.

LAX defeated OGz in a 5150 Street Fight for the Tag Titles

Wow, this was one hell of a street fight. The two teams really threw down as much as you could in a match, and there was a lot of plunder, blood, and fighting. This was great, it was different enough from the House of Hardcore match, but it still had a lot of elements that are interesting overall. The match was great with LAX getting the win after a frog splash on a dude that was on thumbtacks. After the match OGz beat up Konnan, then spray painted the tag team titles, and that was that. Wow, hell of a match, and a nice ending, with the bad guys getting one over on the other teams. Defacing the titles, and getting heel heat, wow. Really cool, this was a fight that was nothing short of impressive.

Pentagon Jr. defeated Sami Callihan in a hair vs mask match

This was a great match. The two were able to work very well with a stellar back and forth match. The two were able to fight, and hit some serious hits. I was impressed with how fluid both wrestlers were, and this thing got hardcore fast. After some serious fights, you'll find that Pentagon Jr. was able to get a big win, and in fact was definitely impressive in the end. Callihan impressed me too, wow, what two talents going at it in what was very much a hard hitting battle for hair and mask. Pentagon got the win, and that's that. Good match, lots of spots, chops, and more.

Austin Aries defeated Moose in the Impact Title Match

I have no idea who Moose is. Austin Aries was getting a beat down for the most part. Aries was getting beat down for a good portion of this match, even though Aries is fast, and was able to counter some of Moose's work. This was a great overall match, with a lot of back and forth, with Aries having to battle a much larger, and much stronger opponent. I was impressed with Aries and Moose alike. Impact really has some good stars here, and I was impressed with Aries here, especially since he wasn't treated all that well by WWE. Not a 4 start classic, but definitely a great match up, with a lot to offer. Impact Wrestling really surprised me here.

I cannot agree more with the Twitter fans, this was a great rundown of wrestling and something that Impact should be proud of. Now if only their weekly shows weren't taped so long in advance, maybe I'd watch more often. Good outing here.

WWE 205 Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Itami vs Alexander (2018) - Src WWE 

The show started with talking, and honestly I don't know, I didn't have the sound on, so I'm just going to review the show's wrestling because I can't stand the commentary and talking on these shows. If you like that, cool, I'm not a big fan.

WWE 205 Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Kalisto vs. Tony Nese Ended in A Double Count Out

I'm assuming it was a double count out, because I didn't see anything turn out in the middle of the ring.

Lio Rush defeated Colin Delaney

This match was what you'd expect it to be. Rush wins.

Cedric Alexander defeated Hideo Itami

This was a hard hitting back and forth match, and it was a great example of what 205 Live can showcase, it's just sad that not a lot of people watch it. Itami put up a good battle, but in the end, Alexander was the one that would get the upper hand, and hit The Lumbar Check. Good match, great show, if you like pure wrestling, and lots of commercials for the network shows and the PPV, sigh.

WWE Smackdown Live July 10, 2018 Results and Review The B Show Featuring Hell No

Ellsworth Escapes - SRC WWE dot com

Smackdown Live was in my school's arena, and I wasn't able to go. But hey, there was a good night of wrestling planned, too bad it didn't turn out the way it was advertised, at least not at first. I'll get to all of that.

WWE Smackdown Live July 11, 2018 Results and Review

The show opened up with MIZTV, and of course it would, why not? The Miz brought out Team Hell No, and the crowd was in an uproar. I'm personally tired of this already, but I guess nostalgia is what it is sometimes. The new Hell No team shirt is stupid. Can't Kane just go be mayor now?

Daniel Bryan wanted to beat up Miz, but Kane stopped him, and then we saw some back and forth about Kane and what not. Then Miz got nearly choked out by Kane, before the Bludgeon Brothers came out and Sanity stormed the ring. They started to beat down Kane and Bryan, and the show began with a brawl featuring all the bad guys against Kane and Daniel Bryan. It was just a beat down until The New Day ran down to make the save.

Shinsuke Nakamura and Aj Styles were ready to battle, but after they made their introductions, out came Rusev and Aiden English.

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Aj Styles ended in a no contest

This wasn't that bad of a match at all, and it really just had a lot of back and forth. It was a good option, but things got a bit difficult when Aiden English got involved. Aj Styles hit him hard, then Rusev jumped Aj, and that led Nakamura to team up with the bad guys to beat up AJ. But that's when Jeff hardy ran out and tried to mop things up. Hardy beat up Rusev and Nakamura, and then Paige came out and said that we are going to have a straight up tag match! Just like Teddy Long would create! I kid you not.

Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jeff Hardy and Aj Styles

This was a short match, it was not that great. But it served to get the bad guys a win before the big PPV this weekend. It was a good little match, for what it was, and it had a few back and forth elements. I didn't mind the loss for the good guys, but I doubt that either one is going to win this weekend. Well, maybe Nakamura will get gold, but other than that, I don't know what's going to go on at the PPV. As for this match, it was fine, an ok television match, so there's that.

Asuka defeated James Ellsworth in a Lumberjack Match

Well, this was shorter than I thought, and it ended like I thought it would end. Asuka made Ellsworth tap out, and that was that. Nothing big here. Afterwards Carmella attacked Asuka.

Andrade Cien Almas defeated Sin Cara

This was a fast paced, short match. Sin Cara had a few moments, but it was mostly the showcase of Andrade Cien ALmas, and that's it. He won with his finisher and that was the end. Nothing fancy, a big win, and that's it.

Team Hell No and The New Day defeated Sanity and The Bludgeon Brothers

This wasn't a great match, but it worked out like nearly all 10 man tag team matches that I have seen. The good guys were all over the bad guys, and of course the Fan Favorites needed to look strong going into the PPV, so they won. Everyone hit their finishers, Team Hell No and The New Day were getting a lot of praise, and that was that. Nothing major here, just a lot of fast paced finishing moves, and the Yes Chants. A fun, fast paced match, no doubt, but honestly, it just left me with the feeling of, meh.

The B show is all that Smackdown is to me. Almas finally got a match, which was great. No sign of Tye Dillinger, though, and others that were drafted. The women's revolution is back to full circle, beating up a random stooge, and that's that. Oh well.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 10, 2018 Results and Review The Roman Show

Alexa Bliss with The Kendo Stick - SRC WWE dot com 

We started the night with a package featuring Roman and Bobby Lashley and their feud. Then we got to see them in the back. Roman said he was going to his Ring to call out Lashley, and then we saw the two banter, but mainly it was Bobby saying he was ready to take on Reigns. That of course led to the arena opening as we are in Boston, MA that started with Roman Reigns coming out to the arena.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 10, 2018 Results and Review

Roman Reigns came out and started to call out Bobby Lashley, which was stupid. It's the Roman show, isn't it? Ugh.

Roman calls out Lashley, and then the whole locker room comes out to seperate Roman and Lashley and it's insane. Roman did show some great things, he jumped over the top rope and into a crowd of guys, which was a lot like The Undertaker's jump at WWF Ground Zero from 1997. I'm not sure who is going to go over, but something tells me that Roman Reigns is going to get a good win with a spear, right? The brawling continued here, and the crowd was into it, and you know what? Why not? Sure they are going to fight, because they think that they are better than one another. Got it.

Nia Jax and Natalya defeated Alexa Bliss and Mickie James

The match was basically a lot of Nia Jax getting the most of the women, and Natalya limited in the ring. Alexa and Mickie did a few things well here, but after Nia would win, Alexa jumped her with a kendo stick. The Kendo stick beat down was the best part of the match, and I loved that. Great stuff overall. Other than that, the match was a bit boring to me. Mickie James is always good, but the rest, meh.

Mojo Rawley defeated No Way Jose

This was a hard hitting match, and it was kind of back and forth. Now Way Jose tried his best, but Rawley was not to be thwarted, and he eventually hit the Alabama Slam, and boom, it was all done within a short span. Not a bad match at all, mind you.

Sasha and Bayley are still in counseling, and it sucked.

Seth Rollins came out to talk, and I was not thrilled, I didn't care. Dolph came out, and so did Drew McIntyre, and they started to talk trash. This went back and forth and a match was set up. I didn't care for this, too much talking if you ask me.

Bo Dallas defeated Matt Hardy

Another match in which the B team was able to take on the veterans and win. This was a match that had Matt Hardy winning most of it, and then out of the blue, Dallas would get the win. This wasn't terrible, but it's a bit predictable and I'm tired of it, so meh. That's all I can say about this, meh. Dallas wins, the other guys beat them up and that was that.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

Ember Moon wins again, and this time she was able to throw down a lot of offense, and eventually did a move that was nothing short of impressive. She did a pinning combination that had her spiked, then flipped over and in a bridge. You have to see it to believe it, it was so good. Liv Morgan nearly broke a nose, which was rough, but the match was good.

Corbin and Elias were tagging together, and Elias played a lullabye with Corbin. Wow. This was a stinker.

Corbin and Elias defeated Finn Balor and Bobby Roode

A good back and forth match, with some good overall fighting. I liked the fighting, and it was definitely better than I thought it would be. Corbin would end up getting the win with Elias on his side, and it was what you would expect. Fast pacing, movement, and so much more, although midway through the match there was an ad for the ppv with Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley at the helm.

Drew McIntyre defeated Seth Rollins

Well, this was a good closing match, with lots of action and great timing from the two veterans of the ring. Dolph Ziggler was on the outside and tried interfering, and helped get his team member a great shot in the process, but honestly, this match needed a bit more time if you ask me. It had some good moments, and while there was some high spots, it was your standard Rollins match, with McIntyre showing he's ready for the big time. I liked it. Rollins would get a loss here and McIntyre would hit his finisher to close out raw, and make it a night.

At the end of the day, this wasn't a terrible show at all. I didn't hate it, but I found that there was a lot left to be desired in terms of wrestling. As for that ending, and the rest of the show, it is what it is, it's the Roman hour of sorts, but there's a lot to mix in this time around. I had fun, and maybe that's the best thing.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 2, 2018 Results and Review This Is The Best They Can Do?

Shatter Machine on Reigns - SRC WWE

WWE Monday Night Raw used to be the A show, the flagship show, the show that you couldn’t miss. It was the better show between WCW Nitro and others. Then they got lazy. They have gotten so lazy, in fact, that this is one of for the ages in terms of bad. There was some seriously bad things on this show, and you know what? I’m going to talk about the good, the bad, and the bad, because that’s what I found to be true about this show, and not since WCW had some insane things, has it been this bad.

WWE Monday Night Raw July 2, 2019 Results and Review

Let’s get things started with the opening. It had Roman Reigns, yes, Reigns talking a lot of BOB in his opener, and I didn’t want to hear it. I got tired of it, but hey, it’s Reigns, he’s going to get attention no matter what. He talked trash, that prompted Dolph Ziggler to show up, they got into a scuffle, and then we got some information for later on in the show, it will be Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns versus Dolph ZIggler and Drew Mcintyre, because they got the better of Roman.

Curtis Axel defeated Matt Hardy

Axel made fun of Hardy at first, then we had a B team match in which Matt Hardy lost. Axel won in a fast match, and that’s about it. There’s not a whole lot I can say about this. It was ok at best.

Dr. Shelby Showed UP To Work With Bayley and Sasha in Counseling

I kid you not. This sucked.

The Authors or Pain defeat Titus Worldwide

This was another short match, and it ended with Titus Worldwide jobbing out again. Yay, more jobbing.

Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins defeated Dolph ZIggler and Roman Reigns

This wasn’t a terrible match, it had some great exciting moments, but what I didn’t like was the ending. The Revival showed up out of the crowd and beat up Roman Reigns, and then Rollins got a beat down too. These two guys got beat down, and that was that. The match ended in a DQ finish, and that was that. This was a good match, with a lot of back and forth, mind you, it just had a terrible ending.

Baron Corbin Apology

Baron Corbin wanted an apology from Finn Balor. He instead got beat up a little, and that was that. They’ll fight sooner than later, I’m sure.

Ember Moon defeated Liv Morgan

This was a good women’s match, a lot better than I would have expected, but what gets me is that Liv Morgan loses here, and the Riott Squad may be left without their leader if she can’t heal the MCL issue. This was an ok match, don’t get me wrong, it just didn’t feature the way I thought it would, and honestly, I don’t understand why factions can’t beat single people.

Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley defeated The Revival via DQ

Well, another DQ finish, and this time around Roman Reigns got a beat down from The Revival and Bobby Lashley walked out on him, as you’d expect. Fun stuff here, I guess.

Mojo Rawley beat up No Way Jose

Yep. I give up.

Nia Jax defeated Mickie James

This had a good match feel to it, and the two worked well enough together, the match had back and forth action, but in the end, Nia Jax was able to finish of James, even with Alexa Bliss on her side.

Braun Strowman defeated Kevin Owens via count out

This was awful. Owens looks like a chicken, he ran off, and hid in a porta potty, then it was knocked off the stage. That’s it. This is how they ended Raw. Not even Vince Russo could think of this.

Well, that was a bad Raw. There’s not a whole lot to say, but I did come up with a theory.

Ronda Rousey, this weekend, is going to cost Nia Jax the title, because she not only wants to beat up Alexa, she wants to take her title too. Watch for the swerve this weekend as Rousey will be at Extreme Rules, in the front row, according to the story. Oh and Raw wasn’t grand, but there were a few bright spots, just awful finishes. No Elias match, lame.
