WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS The real Hero of the story You know, on the one hand, it was deeply entertaining seeing Sonya Deville try to exercise her power as an authority figure just to see the big boss himself strike her down with great hypocrisy and furious comedy on Friday Night SmackDown this week. She hasn’t gotten hers nearly enough over the past few months while doing everything in her power to hold Naomi down. On the other hand, and not to be a party pooper here, doesn’t it kind of suck that this didn’t come about until Ronda Rousey came around and there was an issue between Rousey and Deville? And the reality here is that Rousey actually did break the rules and was protected for it while Naomi never did anything wrong, was treated like shit for months anyway, and no one did a single thing about it? In fact, Deville has run wild all the way up until she tried to suspend a big star. What kind of message does this kind of thing send about Naomi? To offset that a bit, they had Naomi hit the scene to take a victory lap over Sonya in the form of a five finger face greeting. Ultimately, though, she lost her match against Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown women’s championship and will likely fade right back down the card. Meanwhile, Rousey has a title shot in the main event of WrestleMania coming up and was positioned to save the day here. None of this is all that surprising, considering the entire history of the promotion, and to that end it’s probably not that big a deal relatively speaking, and I may even be reading a bit too much into it, but there’s something about it that just doesn’t sit right with me. Feel free to disagree but tell me why if you do. Also, let me make sure I don’t skip over talking about just how good that Flair vs. Naomi main event match actually was. I’d go so far as to say it was better than probably anything Rousey and Flair could put together. There were so many great near falls while Naomi showcased all the emotion you would hope for from someone giving their all and coming up just short. For me, she’s the real hero here. Goldberging Goldberg Showing the footage and reminding us that Goldberg beat Brock Lesnar in just over one minute is great promotion for Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg at Elimination Chamber. It’s not such great promotion for Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. I suppose the idea is to more firmly establish Reigns with a victory over such a strong opponent but is he not firmly established already by now? This almost makes me think even more that we’ll be getting a title vs. title match, because you really can’t have Lesnar win the Royal Rumble, then have him lose a title match while using prior title losses as promotion for other matches along the way before he ever gets the match he earned for winning said Rumble. Right? Having said all this, Reigns said he’s going to “Goldberg Goldberg” and I’m very much looking forward to seeing whatever the hell that means. Later, Goldberg said he doesn’t care what anyone says about him, this comeback is actually going to stick. He also said Reigns won’t “Goldberg” him because there’s only one Goldberg. The sit down interviews weren’t bad, but if you weren’t already excited for the match they probably didn’t help get you there, unless you’re like me and just want to see what Reigns means by Goldberg’ing Goldberg. There’s a face-to-face promised for next week to give them another chance to get folks invested. All the Rest “There’s a certain level of comfort Big E shows when he’s in a tag team,” they say after Corey Graves talks about witnessing Big E’s run with the WWE championship. That felt like an unnecessary shot instead of an endorsement of The New Day. Then they went and lost to Los Lotharios, who debuted a new “Kiss Cam” that was really just them finding an attractive woman in the crowd to kiss them on the cheek. They’re a fun team, so I’m fully on board a push for these two and a win over New Day is a great way to get them going. Just, you know, maybe not with those comments. “I am a three-time Guinness World Record holder, and you are a piece of crap.” - Natalya, who scored a submission win over Aliyah because the latter didn’t understand the rules of the match. When she tried to use the ropes to break the Sharpshooter and was told she couldn’t, she quickly tapped. It was a funny way to end the match. Xia Li hit the scene to brawl with Nattie right after as a protector of Aliyah, and it appears we’re headed for a program between these two.Shout out to Rocky Johnson. Sami Zayn ZAPPED poor Rick BOOGS! It was a set up to gain an edge going into his title match against Shinsuke Nakamura next week! This was a short segment that all involved made far more entertaining than it had any business being. Is it just me or was that Cesaro vs. Happy Corbin match pretty damn great for a short TV match? Meanwhile, Corbin is undefeated since he became “Happy” and WWE is calling attention to it. Could that be in preparation for Drew McIntyre beating him to take it away? Time will tell. I’d like to note here that Corey Graves doing this show because Pat McAfee was in LA for the Super Bowl gave me a renewed appreciation for what McAfee brings to the table. I was missing his enthusiasm and unique delivery, not to mention the random hilarious quips he throws in throughout each broadcast. Graves isn’t even bad, and he was just fine here, but he’s no Pat Mac. This was a decent enough show, but it was just sort of there. Grade: C+ 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Are You a God? The women entering the Elimination Chamber this weekend needed to kill time. As a result, they figured why not have a gauntlet match? Even better, why not add the stipulation that the winner enters the Elimination Chamber last? This was a hell of a performance from one Rhea Ripley, and a well paced gauntlet match with a logical crescendo and even more logical outcome. Rhea bodied Nikki A.S.H. in a minor rematch from the last time I thought they were done with their beef. Nikki looked better in defeat here, but she’s still a non-factor for anyone paying enough attention. From there, Liv Morgan and Rhea wrestled a match worthy of Liv’s story: Watch her learn. Morgan took it to Liv early, attacking the former champ with the same aggression Snoop Dogg attacks an ounce. Even the change in tempo didn’t stop Rhea’s momentum. And then out came Doudrop, who clearly wants to assert her power. Beating up on a weakened Rhea worked for a while, but Rhea found the strength...from somewhere. Probably because Doudrop can never leave well enough alone and can’t help but taunt her opponents way too much. Somehow, someway, Rhea slapped on the Riptide for the 1-2-3. Then came Ms. Bianca Belair. Bless Rhea’s heart, but she didn’t have enough to handle Belair. But damn did she try. Obviously, these two know what they’re doing and put on a great final match that served as the exclamation to the story. Bianca hit Rhea with the KOD, got the win, and gave Rhea her well-deserved props. Rhea looked like a beast and each competitor had a moment to shine. Rhea and Bianca were probably the favorites going into Elimination Chamber. I say probably because Alexa Bliss, cured apparently, declared herself the final entrant into the match. Because duh. While Bianca is always my pick to win everything, there are legitimately three women who can win this match and it would make all the sense in the world: Bianca, Rhea, and the returning Ms. Bliss. If there’s one advantage in Bianca’s favor, it’s that she’s entering the match dead last. The Rest The Tools and the Talent Becky Lynch and Lita partook in a weird segment. Why weird? Glad you asked. Because there’s no way anyone buys what Becky is shoveling. Becky showed up to the contract signing out of sorts. Lynch looked less big time and more like me on an early Saturday morning Target run. Lita looked puzzled, Adam Pierce—the worst boss in history—looked utterly shocked. Becky pleaded with Lita to do everything but sign on the dotted line. According to the champ, she isn’t sleeping because destroying Lita will, in fact, destroy her. Becky knows Lita better than Lita knows herself and can’t bring herself to do what she has to do. And, of course, she blamed the fans. Lita, with the line of the night, noted if there is no Becky Lynch without Lita, then it’s on Lita to end whatever Becky morphed into. That right there is actually a fun angle, and one I wish we got more of in the prelude to their championship match. But yeah, we didn’t. Becky is rarely genuine unless she’s dealing with Charlotte Flair or Ronda Rousey, so everything she did this week felt performative. I know, I know, all of wrestling is performative. But we watch because it’s believable. This right here? Even Stevie Wonder and a blind matador can see through the bullshit. Valentine’s Day. Bummer Guess what? Seth Rollins and Randy Orton wrestled a good match. Duh. This was Randy attempting to avenge Riddle’s lost to Rollins last week. Orton almost got the job done, until Alpha Academy’s dreaded theme music played. Riddle followed to save his partner but caught a beating for his efforts. Randy, clearly a changed man, tried to save his partner and took his eye off Seth Rollins in the process. Seth got the win—after taking a pretty long time to go for the pin following his curb stomp—and Riddle looked on in anguish as his partner took an L. Not sure if they’ll examine the fact Randy is a changed man since befriending Riddle, but if/when RK-Bro goes the way of the Dodo, this is the way to get them there. Riddle couldn't get the job done against Randy because he’s always distracted, and now Randy, a man of intense focus, is in the same shaggy boat. He Came, He Saw, He Kicked Ziggler’s Ass NXT 2.0—I know, I know—and the main roster cross the lines more frequently now. For those of you who do other things on Tuesday nights, like, idk, regular human things, Dolph Ziggler interjected his nose into NXT business. In the process, he pissed off Tommaso Ciampa, a man who starts his day on the wrong side of the bed. Ciampa showed up this week to return the favor, and that distraction was the start of the ending for the Dirty Dawgz. The Street Profits got the W but again, the story was Ciampa and Ziggler. Is a WrestleMania match brewing? Or will the two clash at Stand and Deliver? The world may never know...until WWE tells us. You’re More like a Gameshow Host Alpha Academy, fresh off destroying the Broga Party, defeated the Mysterios. Although, it wasn’t the clean victory Chad Gable wants you to believe it was. Miz and Maryse were ringside, meaning the match was a rather quick affair that, for me, never really got its footing. Miz distracted Rey, the Academy got the W. Meh. I’m not excited about Rey and Miz wrestling at Elimination Chamber. Like not even a little bit. Dogs and Cats Living Together Raw opened with the All Mighty Champion talking his shit. Pretty much repeating what he said last week. and one by one, the participants in the upcoming Elimination Chamber match came to the ring to state their case. It was basically 10-15 min of puffing out their respective chests. MVP is a boss though. He’s incredibly entertaining and always understands the assignment. But I digress. And you know what we learned? Well, Austin Theory does not belong. This isn’t to say he’s a bad wrestler, but he doesn’t have the gravitas to hang in the ring with these cats. At all. Also? He has the worst story. Eventually, Brock came out and, to quote another program, business picked up. Actually, that’s a lie. Brock came out looking very dapper, immediately backed up my idea that Austin Theory doesn’t belong, the ring cleared, and then he embarrassed Theory again. Sigh. I wanted more and needed more. Your Winner, and Still... Damian Priest pinned AJ Styles in an okay match that went a lot shorter than I anticipated. The story commentary sold was one of the champion learning his lesson against a challenger who bested him last week. What I saw was a guy competing for the WWE Championship this weekend losing cleanly mere minutes after telling everyone how dope he is and why he will walk out of Saudi Arabia with more gold than a king. No sir, I don’t like it. We Both Have the Same Problem... You know what’s pathetic? Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin coming out to the Hurt Business music and draped in that specific attire. You know what’s even more pathetic? The two former tag champs losing a handicap match to Omos. That’s all I have to say about that. She’s not My Girlfriend... Reggie had enough of the friend zone. After taking Dana to Valentine’s dinner and saving her—again—from a poorly planned ambush, Reggie finally told Dana how he felt. Of course, she didn't feel the same. Reggie was cool with that choice, then rolled her up for a pin, taking back his 24/7 championship. A king Also left her with the bill. Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Raw is...fine. Look, this wasn’t the worst episode of Monday Night Raw, but it was far from the best. It was watchable, which is quite the compliment for Vince McMahon’s longest running episodic show in the history of the glowing box. This didn’t feel like a go home and really lacked a compelling hook to watch Elimination Chamber. Even the Broga Party, which seemed rife with comedy potential, was just the setup to an Animal House joke and a beatdown at the hands of the Alpha Academy...which they also accomplished as the show ended. Like I said, a fine show. Not great, not bad. Just, as Stringer Bell might say, a forty degree day. And nobody gives an f about a forty degree day. Grade: C 1 Like 1 Share |

That second quote couldn't have been said any better. Everyone can do flips and five star matches nowadays but what sets your character apart from the horde. Aew is more guilty of this than wwe. They have alot of young athletic talents but most of them won't break out if they're risking highspots for Daddy Meltzer approval. ValeeLove: |

samistry:i commented the same thing. I'll give wrestling companies like AEW, NJPW, ROH and NXT Black & Gold credit. They brought us back the need for in-ring ability, but without a good character work it's incomplete. Hence why guys in the 80s depended a lot on gimmicks and good characters and got over with them. |

AEW has come to terms with the release of Cody and Brandi Rhodes I read the two parties couldn't come to terms with a new contract as Cody's demands were not met by AEW management. Cody is currently in contact with WWE. The news is the most shocking yet this year. Cody was instrumental in the creation of AEW. All In was his idea. He carried everything on his back.

When Brock said Wrestling is all about the money, it made me think, is it truly ALL about the money? Because Cody literally left the company he help create and grow, because of the money. Is this all a scheme to take our money and put in their pockets? Are we just customers and not actual fans as we think? |

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Melo Don’t Miss I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Carmelo Hayes is the truth. And, to no one’s shock, Cameron Grimes isn’t far off from facts either. I loved the escalation of this match. It started with both men getting a feel for each other and playing mind games. I’m talking collar and elbow tie-ups, Irish whip counters, rest holds and reversals of said rest holds. Hayes and Grimes do not like each other. They’re diametrically opposed forces with very different backgrounds and opposite views of life. It’s why after one exchange, Grimes shook his ass in front of the A Champ just to mess with him. Grimes understood how important it was to get inside Melo’s head, especially with Melo’s personal Big Daddy Cool on the outside, and for a while, that strategy worked. At one point, Melo was actually talking to himself, realizing he needed to hit another gear to truly put this dude away. Or just allow his equalizer to mess with Grimes. The benefit of someone like Trick is obvious but I’ll say it anyway. Melo is never alone and no matter the mind games his opponent plays, he always has Trick to even the odds. Every time Grimes gained momentum, Trick was there. Even when he bought Melo time simply by being in the way when Grimes went to the top rope for a crossbody, it worked to the champ’s advantage. I always talk about the numbers game in NXT and nobody makes it look as simple as these two. The best example? Hayes rolls to the outside when he knows a Cave In is coming his way. Cameron follows him, sizes him up, and looks ready to do more than pounce. But, once again, Trick shows his value and why you need brothers like him in your corner in everything you do. With no regard for his own life, Williams pushing the champion out of the way and takes the Cave In himself. THAT was the moment everything went sideways for the challenger and when Melo truly took control. Melo even told his belt he will never let it go. Dope. Shit. A few exchanges and one more Trick interference later, Melo finished the match with his version of the Harlem Hangover, we heard the ding ding, and another classic is under the belts of both men. Watch this match not now but right now. Heartbreakin’ I’m not sure how I feel about this week’s main event. Bron Breakker is a stud and Santos Escobar is one of the best. But the match never felt right. I don’t think the two have much chemistry and the match didn’t find its rhythm. Escobar planned to show he’s the better and smarter wrestler in hopes both attributes might neutralize Bron’s power. That didn’t go well initially. Bron went to work on the LDF leader with lariats, delayed suplexes, and, of course, dog barks. It wasn’t until Escobar used the steel steps did things take a turn in his favor. Escobar channeled Eddie Guerrero, doing everything possible to win the match. That included using LDF as a distraction and taking advantage of an interfering Dolph Ziggler. Dolph made his way to Florida with a keen eye on the main event. Like any good veteran, Dolph picked his spot to land a superkick on the champion. Tommaso Ciampa didn’t like that at all, rushing to the ring to throw fisticuffs with Ziggler, leading to a match between the two next week. But that kick wasn’t enough to derail the champ. Escobar, at his wits end, went for a Frog Splash and wiped out completely. From there, you know how this ended. I mean, come on, you watch wrestling. Bron got his comeback and finished it with his Military Press. Like I said, everything worked on paper. That execution though? It just didn’t click for me. Ciampa and Ziggler, in theory, sounds like a good match. But I’m not interested in seeing any parts of that currently. Anyway, with Escobar out of the way, GUNTHER looks positioned to face Bron Breakker as soon as he’s done with Solo Sikoa. No clue if Bron is ready for that, but we’re going to find out very shortly. The Rest Your Instructor is Casey Jones Pete Dunne and Tony D’Angelo wasted no time getting violent in their weaponized cage match. Dunne grabbed a chair—not to have a seat—and went to work on Tony D. Dunne’s target was, of course, Tony D’s fingers. Whether with the chair, the crowbar, or just using his own hands, Dunne was focused on one body part and never relented. But Tony D is no slouch in the toughness department. In one particularly sick moment, the wise guy tied the Bruiserweight’s hands behind his back with zip ties and tried to pull his teeth out with a hammer. Yes, you read that sentence correct. Tony D is a sick, sick man. The 15 minute alley fight came to a close when both men went for the signature weapons that inspired this match. Tony D thought a crowbar followed by his signature move would get it done. Forget about it. Dunne went for a cricket bat—don’t you just love a Ninja Turtles reference— followed by a Bitter End. No dice. A good moment showing Tony D is just as tough as his talk and can brawl with the best of them. But fittingly, it was the crowbar that signed, sealed, and delivered this match for the winner. Dunne, supposedly slumped over in the corner, grabbed a crowbar. Tony D, much more obviously, had the same thought. Both men charged but Dunne struck first with an attack Tony, much like his Sopranos namesake, never saw it coming. One more Bitter End and that was all she wrote. Fun opener this week with a match befitting the feud and both men’s personalities. Dusty Finish Ah, MSK and the Creed Bros. What a clash of styles we have here. The Brothers Creed are mat wrestlers, more at home in a gymnasium than a WWE arena...or performance center. MSK wants to take to the skies every single second. So it’s no surprise the Diamond Mine crew tried to outwrestle MSK. Also not a shock MSK wasn’t having that. This was like watching a football team play any sport against a track team. Every heavy punch from Julius or Brutus was followed by a kick or backflip from Nash Carter or Wes Lee. The match was typified in two moves: MSK hit their famous Shooting Star press double team to a Creed Bro on the outside of the ring and Julius Creed bulldozed Wes Lee into the commentary table. That’s the flavor they went for and it worked. In the end, it was power over finesse as the Brothers Creed stopped MSK from achieving their dream of repeating as Dusty Cup winners. Diamond Mine’s tag team is clearly aiming for Imperium and this match gets them one step closer. That Was Surprising So, I expected more from Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta in this match. Not that they didn’t show up, because duh. But they looked like the much weaker team when they usually compete at a level higher than Riddle in Denver. Once again, they let Toxic Attraction outsmart them, too, which makes it even weirder. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne dominated and it really wasn’t close. Interesting call, especially before the women’s Dusty Cup. The Women get Dusty Couple segments set up next week’s Dusty Cup for the ladies. Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai will probably team up if the former has her way. Raquel González put Cora Jade through workout hell, while Indi and Persia are still incredibly distracted by men. Indi has her husband while Persia finally—for some reason—gets her shot with Duke Hudson. Kay Lee Ray and Io Sharai broke a lot of stuff envisioning they were smashing Toxic Attraction. Oh, and Kayden Carter is putting Brooks Jensen in the friend zone as she and Kacy Catanzaro prepare for battle. Although son is probably gettin gin the friend zone regardless of the circumstances. Knight Knight Grayson Waller is an idiot, apparently. After breaching the terms of his restraining order by putting his hands on LA Knight, Knight was cleared to give Waller that work. To be continued... Vengeance Day was fine. No more, no less. There was one outstanding match that outclassed the rest. Everyone else was competent. The Toxic Attraction stuff at the beginning of the show was...a thing that happened. I have so many thoughts but that requires an entire editorial on my part. But I digress. This was the last show on the SyFy channel this month and it definitely didn’t end with a bang. But not a whimper either. It was merely “cool.” Grade: B- |

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS The problem with only being one note is that eventually that note is overplayed. Goldberg has been there for quite some time now and it leads to segments like what we got here. “I gotta apologize in front of all these wonderful people and the entire world. I was wrong. You’re not next. When it comes to the Universal championship, I’M NEXT!” Like, what?!? That’s supposed to be a slick way of saying he’ll win the title and become the next champion, yeah, I get that, but his doing so doesn’t mean Reigns isn’t next as far as being the guy he has to beat to become that. Both statements are true, and therefore he is not wrong like he claims to be. I’m giving it this much thought because, again, there’s no other analysis to be made here. It’s just a nothing match, thrown together at the last minute for the Saudi show, a speed bump on the way to a much bigger match that actually has a storyline attached to it. This sucked. In hindsight, we always should have known better. When video from the arena was posted online showcasing a hilariously bad miscommunication between Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair, it made for the kind of pro wrestling clip that makes you cringe at how fake it all is. WWE was always going to edit to make it look better, though, and through the magic of television it came off like this: The wrestlers in the ring aren’t the only pros in WWE! Meanwhile, this was a fairly standard contract signing that featured Rousey getting a badass line in and the babyfaces standing tall going into the match. The added stipulation that Rousey will have one arm tied behind her back doesn’t do much for me, nor does it make me any more interested in the match itself, but your mileage may vary. Sami Zayn won the Intercontinental championship on this show and, uh, I wish there was more to say about it? Zayn set up a fair match last week when he zapped Rick BOOGS and ensured he would still be too injured to interfere on behalf of Shinsuke Nakamura. Sure enough, it was a straight up 1v1 and Zayn came out ahead by being smart enough to avoid Nakamura’s finisher and work over a knee that Shinsuke hurt by running it into the steps earlier in the match. That’s all well and good, it was just sort of there. The finish was such that fans in the arena hardly knew how to react to it. It just sort of happened. All the Rest Sheamus and Ricochet decided to put on an absolute banger for this taped show, and I ain’t mad at ‘em for it. Ricochet scored the win after Ridge Holland tried to interfere and kinda/sorta got in the way, costing Sheamus. The two had an argument in the ring after. It seems too early for a breakup here, but it keeps things interesting. Remember two weeks ago when Jimmy Uso beat Erik in a singles match? We got the opposite this week, with Ivar beating Jey Uso. He won by disqualification, but still. At least the Viking Raiders got their gear back, I guess. Drew McIntyre cut a promo where he told a few jokes they dubbed some laughter over, Madcap Moss told another bad joke, and promises were made that Elimination Chamber will be “the night the laughter died.” That’s a line that works well on paper but it was pretty cheesy here, especially coming from the guy who carries a comically large sword he can never use. There’s some slack to give WWE here, considering they had to tape this to account for traveling around the world but there just wasn’t much to this show. Grade: D+ |
