pu7pl3:I'd rather stars leave than be wasted. I'd prefer to go through the troubles of looking for an NJPW link to watch Finn do some great wrestling than watch him be rubbished on the WWE channel. |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS It’s really unfortunate that WWE is making it so blatantly obvious that they felt they needed Goldberg for SummerSlam. The crowd tried to get into the Goldberg chants, but it never really took off. That’s because even after being away for over a year, it’s not clicking with them. And I don’t blame them, because I’m not either. At no point during this opening segment did I care about a moment of Goldberg. His gum smacking promo was bad, and spearing MVP because he was talking trash to his son (who has really grown up since we last saw him by the way!) was also dumb. This feud is actually making me less excited for John Cena and Roman Reigns. They already started making me less interested after the debacle last Friday. Finn Balor didn’t need to get screwed like that. Switching to this feud, it feels like not only the fans don’t care about this, but the performers either. No one feels motivated. MVP is great on the microphone. But that’s pretty much it. Goldberg was boring, Bobby Lashley looked like he wasn’t interested in being in the ring for the opening promo, or giving his very quiet answer to Goldberg. Literally his answer was so quiet I could even barely hear him. I’m bored. I don’t care. Just waiting for SummerSlam to get this over with, and I hate that, really. I don’t want to be bored. I used to wax poetic about Lashley and the Hurt Business when that existed. This just sucks. And my biggest worry (and prediction) is that Goldberg is winning at SummerSlam. Joy. Defying the odds. Bless Nikki A.S.H. Cross for the chair shot to end a very long promo. Charlotte Flair entered the ring and went on about how gullible Nikki is for still saying that she could beat Flair even though she gave Nikki one hell of a beating last week. Flair then got out of the ring and started grabbing kendo stick, a broom, and a chair. She threw them all into the ring and then Nikki sneak attacked her with a chair shot to the back. Thank you. It wasn’t Charlotte’s best promo. Didn’t really get the Simone Biles tie in. They announced this match as a championship contender match again, like last week. Its very strange to word a match like that when the champion’s opponent already has a championship match. The crowd chanted for tables, the crowd got a table set up, and then they started chanting for Becky. Weird. Flair speared Nikki through the barricade. Flair lifted Nikki off the mat for two straight two counts to prolong the beating. Nikki kept trying to take it to Flair but Flair kept getting the better of her. After a table spot, Flair went for a foot on the chest cover and Nikki kicked out. Then it got even better and Flair speared herself through the table set up in the ring, and that was the final nail in her coffin. Nikki did a dragon screw DDT to win. The best thing about Charlotte right now is her being pissed off that women keep cashing in on her. Her anger in the promo and during the match was great, and you could see it was the driving force of her punishing Nikki. It sort of didn’t become about winning for her, it was about making an example out of Nikki. I have to say that part of Nikki’s promo before the match was one of her better ones. I wanted to highlight this because it was actually relatable to me personally. “You don’t know what to expect, but you just have to give your absolute possible best.” Yeah. You do, don’t you? As an Anxious Cowboy myself (AEW crossover!) I am currently trying to break out of a life of playing it safe, and that sentence actually hit me in the feels. Nikki felt more confident in this promo, too. This is how we start to get this character over. Less of the actual “superhero” like stuff. I refuse to believe that you’re still “almost a superhero” when you’re the women’s champion, and that defeating a tough opponent doesn’t keep you in the almost category. I think that part needs fixing. The Rest MACE & T-BAR defeated Mustafa Ali and Mansoor This is good stuff, pals. Ali got a nice pop from this crowd and Mansoor was amped up for it and hugged Ali in the ring. Interesting booking here in the match where Mansoor accidentally knocked Ali off the ropes and Mansoor lost as a result. But there was a synchronized dive by both men in the match that got a nod from Ali, and when MACE & T-BAR came back for seconds, Ali sacrificed himself for Mansoor! Friendship! It’s such a sweet thing, isn’t it? This is one of the best things going on Monday nights. Omos defeated Riddle Riddle played it smart and tried to weaken Omos before the match, but Omos didn’t budge. Omos shoved Riddle over the top rope and into the time keepers area to get as count out victory, and Riddle made it back at 9. I was legitimately frightened watching Omos run. He lifted Riddle into the sky and planted him flat for the win. This would have been where Randy Orton could make a return, but still no Randy. Where are you, Randy? Damian Priest defeated John Morrison / Priest and Ricochet defeated Morrison and Sheamus I typed out the result of this match ahead of time hoping to everything that it would be the real finish, and it was! Priest was rocked a bit by the CM Punk chants during his promo, but I think he recovered by the end. Miz and Morrison definitely helped him out, Morrison with the most wet puns I’ve ever heard in a 5 minute span. Morrison did some crazy back flip with Priest on his shoulders over the rope. Priest won, and Sheamus attacked him after the match. And then Ricochet made the save for him. Are you surprised at what happened next? Raw is three hours long and why use people who are there already? Priest and Ricochet in the ring together. I like it. Thankfully they didn’t give Priest a pin fall loss right after his win, something WWE has done before. Priest is definitely getting a US title match. Did I mention I would like to see more of Priest and Ricochet? Keith Lee defeated Karrion Kross Kross now has an hourglass to tell us that his opponents’ time is up. Okay. It was nice to see WWE reminding us that Lee once was a dominant guy defeating Orton in a match. Kross tossed Lee into the steel steps and the crowd woke up a bit when Lee chopped him. Lee was able to power out of Kross’ submission and hit the Spirit Bomb for the win! A great finish and a great crowd reaction for it. Rhea Ripley defeated Nia Jax I don’t recall seeing these two women in the ring together, at least on the main roster. Jax rocked Ripley with her own hip attack so Ripley would have to fight from underneath. That just made me realize I haven’t seen Asuka since Money in the Bank. At some point Jax was bleeding near her eye. It was a nice visual. And then Jax lost because Shayna Baszler did exactly what Reggie always used to do. You know what she always used to get angry about? That was silly. She left after the match and Ripley attacked Jax again. Baszler did not come back to help her. Reggie defeated Akira Tozawa These are the types of 24/7 title matches I can get into. Reggie still athletic as hell and they had him cut a promo explaining the accent and name change. That’s all I ask for. Tamina defeated DouDrop Eva Marie is an awful actress. I don’t know if she’s doing this on purpose or if it’s legit. But she was so terrible I laughed. So terrible. Marie distracted Tamina so DouDrop could get the victory. It didn’t work. A Samoan drop got the victory for Tamina. Alexa Bliss popped up on the tron and said the loser of the match is Eva Marieeeeeeee. This was fine. Then they attacked Bliss and Lilly in the Playground, and Lilly arose all on her own. Yep. Let’s move on. Drew McIntyre vs. Veer and Shanky ends in a shocking disqualification Chairs and swords. All of these men are quite big so that’s fun to see I guess? Jinder Mahal interfered because that’s a thing that has to happen. Excited for more? Grade: C- |

pu7pl3: Really? Anyways, if you aren't WWE and you want your wrestling promotion to succeed, stay away from either of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, or Eric Bischoff. Their oversized egos and politicking are enough to ruin any business - ask TNA and WCW. |

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS I’m very happy to see that Finn Balor isn’t totally getting screwed. His promo in the back early in the night was very specific about targeting John Cena once he was done with Baron Corbin, and it wasn’t something I had initially expected from him after last week’s booking, plus this week’s “Corbin is the reason why Balor isn’t facing Roman Reigns” booking. We all know that’s a buncha bull... Still enjoying what they’re doing with Corbin. He doesn’t come out to music anymore, and holy hell he must stink because he hasn’t changed in weeks. He tried to get out of it by whining about his life again, but Balor didn’t have any of it. In fact he pretty much swiftly beat Corbin in a quick match. The right decision, of course. However, then he called his shot once again for Roman and the Universal title. That prompted the Tribal Chief to come out. The Tribal Chief told Balor to keep his name out Balor’s mouth, even though he understands why he’s upset. So Balor shoved Reigns out of the ring, and NXT Finn came back out waiting for Reigns to come back. And then the Usos attacked him from behind. They got him and Balor tried to fight back, but the bloodline got the upper hand. All while the crowd chanted for John Cena, but John Cena was nowhere to be found. So now, it would appear that Balor may be put into the SummerSlam match. Though we pretty much know what that means if that happens. He’s taking the pin. While I’m not thrilled about it, to see him in the match, and maybe even have a small program with Cena before he leaves, would be great. Sasha Banks made a statement. It was a self absorbed statement, but it was a statement nonetheless. Banks was all about how she got dissed after WrestleMania and Bianca Belair never thanked her. Where she was correct however, was when she said that Belair wouldn’t have had her more mainstream popularity had Banks not been involved. No main event, no ESPY’s, no Megan Thee Stallion photo op. Sasha was right to assume that none of that would have happened if Bianca didn’t have a title. But she was trying to make us forget, as Belair pointed out, that Banks wanted Belair to pick her after the win at the Royal Rumble. This was a great showing by Belair, and I think it mostly washed away the stupidity of last week’s booking. Zelina Vega didn’t forget about her place in line (which she doesn’t deserve because she hasn’t won ONE match since returning!) and had to come out to remind everyone. So Belair obliged, and announced that Banks would have to wait until SummerSlam. Well, Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville decided to throw a wrench into those plans, too. And thankfully so. Though of course their solution was to have another championship contender match, but alright I’ll look past it this time. I thought that the distraction by Banks in the match later was going to be what got Zelina her first win, but thankfully, it didn’t. And having Bianca win here was the right choice. There was no reason for Zelina to win. I’m very happy that they didn’t pull the “shocking upset” card on this match. The Evolution of the Architect. It’s quite incredible how quickly Seth Rollins’ character has been reformed from the getting bland Messiah. I didn’t realize it during the Zazaro feud, but it’s been a little while since Rollins has been the Messiah, hasn’t it? It was sort of slowly faded out of existence when he got the new and much better entrance music. So Edge came out and said that he would have done the same thing as Rollins, and when Rollins interrupted via Satellite, Edge got him where it hurt. Edge called Rollins “Edge-lite” and that he would resort to the old Edge in order to put Rollins away for good. He’s only able to do that because Rollins didn’t finish the job in 2014 and he can’t stand it. Edge made the challenge for Rollins at SummerSlam, and Rollins accepted. I’m very much interested in this feud and I love Edge playing off the history of these men. The Rest Jey Uso defeated Dominik Mysterio We’ve seen some variation of this match a bunch of times this year. If Dom won it, I wouldn’t have any words to type here. However, because he lost, I can see that there are seeds being planted. Rey Mysterio is making sure that Dom knows that bringing those titles back into the family is THE most important thing. The most important thing, Rey? Hmmm. I don’t know if Dom agrees with that. Interested to see how this progresses to SummerSlam. Tegan Nox defeated Tamina By the time I finished typing this sentence, the match was over. So a good thing about this - Tegan Nox got her first name back! Now, I love the tank. Using it in a match as a distraction... pretty heel-ish. Not a a fan of this new babyface team doing that. The Street Profits defeated The Dirty Dawgz Y’all this was a match that happened. It happened to be what was on television when all of the new batch of releases were announced online. Did ANYONE actually pay attention to this? Montez Ford’s athleticism is always something to put over, though. Apollo Crews vs. King Nakamura ends in a classic disqualification These “championship contender” matches have been silly, since the champion is in the match. We all know WWE loves pinning their champions, though. So this match I had hopes for, since I like the men involved. But of course they went for the quick Commander Azeez disqualification finish. Nakamura technically pinned Crews already sooo... GRADE:- B- |
