WWE NXT HALLOWEEN HAVOC REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Return of the Living Dead Before we dig into this match, allow me to commend NXT for referencing the fact Chucky and Bron’s dad, Rick Steiner, have history. From the little doll showing up in the big man’s locker room and them exchanging familiar pleasantries, to Chucky alluding to making Rick’s life a living hell in 1998. Props, people. Props. Youth and exuberance vs. age and wisdom. Tommaso Ciampa—dressed like Kratos—doesn’t believe Bron Breakker is ready for the moment. Ciampa believes Bron’s inexperience is his weakness and wanted to keep the match going as long as possible. Why? The longer the match, the better chance Bron makes a mistake. Ciampa wrestled a slower pace than normal, opting to blunt Bron’s explosiveness. The champ went for submissions, body blows, and every tool in his arsenal to extend the match and weaken the challenger’s confidence. Ciampa even DDT’d the man onto exposed concrete. Bron caught a couple second winds, but this was a different situation for the the young cat. His usual dominant moves, like the Frankensteiner, didn’t yield the same results. But then it happened. Breakker survived Fairy Tale Ending and Ciampa, incensed, shifted to another gear. After a flurry of knee strikes and another Fairy Tale Ending, Bron finally went down for the count, bloody forehead and all. This was a good enough main event for Halloween Havoc, showcasing Bron can hang with the best when his name is called. Of course, it also showed why Tommaso is the champ. No shame in Breakker’s lost since Ciampa threw everything at him for the W. Breakker will get his time to shine but he’s not ready for Goldie yet. That said, he will get there. Ask yourself if he’s ready to do for someone else what Ciampa did for him. If the answer is no—and it should be—then you know the right man won. The rumors of Ciampa’s demise were greatly exaggerated, and his particular brand of violence isn’t ready to die. Trick R’ Treat Oscar nominated actor Brad Douriff through his alter ego, Chucky, announced the NXT Women’s Championship would be on the line in a “Trick or Street Fight.” I love everything about that sentence. The story going into this match Charles Lee Ray announced is Mandy Rose’s transformation and desire to rule NXT. Raquel González is a bit of a bystander. With that in mind, the street fight format enabled Ms. Rose to showcase this more vicious side to compete with Raquel’s noted mean streak. Mandy trapped Raquel in an chair using a kendo stick, and then repeatedly bashed her opponent with said stick out of frustration. She tried to yank the champ’s shoulder out of the socket, she survived eating a face full of chair, and a spear through a table. But Raquel gave as good as she got because of course she did. For several moments in the match, she was firmly in the driver seat but just couldn’t put it to bed. Mandy held on just long enough for Dakota Kai, revealing herself as the masked figure we kept seeing in promos, to hit Raquel in the back with a shovel. One running knee later from Mandy, and we got ourselves a new NXT Women’s champ. Street fights are almost always normally fun. This one was no different, so let’s all thank Chucky and his infinite wisdom. We’re going to see if Mandy is the right choice for champion. She’s no slouch in the ring but she’s not top notch either; her character work is taking her over the top right now. If she can marry the two, it creates a very different dynamic for the women in NXT 2.0. It was only a matter of time before Dakota got her revenge and she waited for the right moment to strike. That story didn’t feel done and I’m happy she and Raquel are going to tango at least one more time. The Hills Have Eyes A Lumberjack-O-Lantern match! Half of the locker room left their Halloween party to survey the damage these two teams planned to do to each other. It didn’t take long for the lumberjacks to make their presence known, issuing a perfectly legal beatdown to Fabian Aichner x Marcel Barthel, who just so happened to get tossed to the outside. I recently mentioned MSK is pushing themselves too hard to prove their merit as champs and they’re cruising for a bruising. If there’s one thing that might help them keep the belts, it’s having a bunch of meaty men ringside to pound on Imperium a bit every now and then. As always when these two teams face off like Cage and Travolta, the styles clash. Nash Carter x Wes Lee did didn’t alter their strategy; they stuck with high risk moves even with the lumberjacks around the ring. Eventually, Lee and Carter’s collective crazy scared away the lumberjacks! Seriously, those cats left ringside, which is something I didn’t know was a thing until this week. And you know what? Maybe that was their downfall. Without the extra help on the outside, it was just too much power for MSK to overcome. A fantastic match ended with an Imperium Bomb and new tag champs. This was the only way it could end for MSK. And the rematch—if we get one—should be a bit of a banger. Child’s Play 3 The NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships were on the line in a Highway Scareway to Hell ladder match. Io Sharai and Zoey Stark defended against two thirds of Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin x Jacy Jayne) and Indi Hartwell x Persia Pirotta. In typical Halloween fashion, there were a couple frightful bumps, both courtesy of the champs. Zoey misjudged a 450 splash from the top rope and damn near bent her knee. Minutes later, her partner was launched from the top of one ladder onto a ladder bridged between the ring and the commentary table. Io looked like an animation from a WWE video game rather than an actual human being when she made impact with the steel apparatus. Hopefully both women are okay because none of that looked fun in the least bit. As for the match itself, the ladies got about 17 minutes to get as physical and as nasty in the ring as possible. Besides the aforementioned bumps, there were springboards onto the outside, spinebusters onto the ladder, oh and a Frankensteiner onto a ladder. It’s a Frankensteiner because it’s Halloween, duh. Ultimately, it came down to the champs getting out of the paint. They were the most dominant team in the match, always on top of everyone and kept momentum on their side for as long as possible. The reason they’re no longer champs is because for one brief second, Io took her eye off the prize. She hesitated with the belts in her grasp and paid a heavy price of sweat and pain. In the end, it was Toxic Attraction who did what they said they would do: takeover. With the champs out of commission, they seized the moment and the belts in a hot opening match. Indi x Persia can still go after the belts but I’m not sure if Io x Zoey ask for a rematch. It feels like we’ve come to the end of their tale as 2.0 looks to the future. Gigi Dolin is sexy asf, I just realised The Rest The House on Haunted Hill The only reason I knew this segment would tickle my fancy is because Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes would make it work. The haunted house thing had all the makings of going off the rails and being too silly, but they—especially Trick—saved it. Over the course of two segments, we saw the pair travel through “Dexter’s house” filled with zombies, mummies, vampires, Andre Chase, and dead kids. Yup, that last part is not a typo. And no, they weren’t actual dead kids. NXT 2.0 is “edgy” but it’s not necromancy edgy. In the end, Melo and trick retrieved the North American Championship and screamed their way home after avoiding all of the psychos inside of the actual psycho’s house. The highlight was Trick seeing a portrait of a ghostly woman and proudly proclaiming “Oh, she’s fine!” The perfect Halloween fun and I approve. Invasion of the Body Snatchers Roderick Strong and the Diamond Mine wanted a lot of smoke tonight. They issued an open challenge and guess who answered? No, not Chucky, but Odyssey Jones. Malcolm Bivens, rightly, noted Jones isn’t 205 lb. But hey, a challenge is a challenge and smoke was asked for. Of course, the problem for Jones is the same as it is for most cats these days: Diamond Mine rolls deeper than the Dungeon Family and the Wu-Tang Clan combined. Until someone learns how to count, then beating any member of the Mine is impossible. The only thing one can do is succumb. Strong spent most of the match bringing the big man down to size, but it was interference by the Mine that sealed the deal. It was an okay match but on an event of this magnitude, it feels pointless and weird. Halloween II Joe Gacy came to the ring to disparage Halloween for not being an inclusive holiday. It’s all about exploiting the women. No comment from your friendly neighborhood smart ass. Anyway, he, with the help of Harland dressed like Michael Myers, quickly defeated the man known as Malik Blade. Dracula Grayson Waller took over hosting duties tonight when LA Knight suffered a bout of “car trouble.” When Knight finally showed up, also dressed like a vampire, he and Waller argued until Solo Sikoa showed up to clean house. If you didn’t know he was related to Rikishi and The Uso’s, you definitely know now. Don’t Look Now Kay Lee Ray made a brief cameo to tell the world she deserves her flowers now! And if we don’t give them, she’s coming to take them. Halloween Havoc was a fun two hours. Every title changed hands except one, and few matches disappointed. Any show with a fun haunted house segment will always get my thumbs in the up position. Next week? Trick x Melo tag against Dexter x Johnny, Tony D’Angelo finally sits down with Lash Legend, and more surprises as we pave the road to Survivor Series. Grade: A+ 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Let’s talk Raw! Battle Royale Raw set it off this week with four men courting Big E for a shot at his WWE Championship. Seth Rollins deserves the title as his because he’s Seth Rollins and never got a shot at the Universal Championship. Rey Mysterio wants one more ride with the title since there’s more light at the end of his tunnel. Finn Balor is not only the first Universal Champion, but one of the greatest NXT Champions in history. His resume speaks for itself but he figured a bullhorn might help his cause. And then there’s Kevin Owens, who touts his own CV and the fact he already beat Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. What do you do when four men want the same thing and a simple discussion won’t do it? If you said a game of Paper, Rock, Scissors or a spelling contest, then clearly you’re reading the wrong site and the wrong review. If you said put them in the ring with ladders and a contract hovering above the ring, then you’re in the right place and scarily clairvoyant. It didn’t take long for the ladder to make an appearance, as KO power bombed Finn Balor onto one, and then introduced his back to the same ladder after Seth Rollins moved out of the way of KO’s Swanton attempt. Like all ladder matches, momentum was hard to capture. Every time it looked like someone was ready to take full control of the match, there was someone else to act as a roadblock. Example? Glad you asked. In the spot of the night, Mysterio attempted at 619 on KO only to have his path thwarted by Rollins. The legend disposed of Rollins then finished what he started on a recovering KO who just so happened to have a ladder in his hands. Rey then used the same ladder to crash land right on top of a groggy KO outside of the ring. And even after all that, Rey wasn’t in control. In fact, as the match went on, KO got his revenge on Mysterio, who got a little too big for his britches, and powerbombed the legend through a table. But the one consistent in the match? The one person who was in the middle of everything? Seth Rollins. The Visionary dropped KO through a ladder, curb stomped Prince Balor, and climbed rung by damn rung to punch his dance card with the WWE Champion. This was a good ladder match between four pros setting up a very steep hill for Big E to climb. Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre are no slouches, but they’re also not Seth Rollins. The ladder match reestablished Seth after Edge beat him down at Crown Jewel and made everyone remember why his stat sheet is stuffed from top to bottom. The rub, as it were, is what story do they tell. If it’s just a longer version of Drew and E, miss me. We know the two can put on a good match but it needs a memorable story to elevate the belt and the man holding it. I don’t know if it’ll be anywhere close to what Seth and Edge just did, but that in itself is an issue. If the WWE Championship doesn’t deserve a story with that much thought, or the same amount of thought put into Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship stories, then what are we here for? But that’s a potential complaint for a later date. Tonight, they killed it. The Serpent and the Rainbow The Dirty Dawgz received a title shot after “winning” a triple threat match earlier on Raw. Details for that are below but long story short, they came into the match incredibly fresh for two guys who wrestled The Street Profits and Alpha Academy. Big Bob—still funny—and Dolph Ziggler took it to the tag champs early on. And as former SmackDown champs, of course they did. The question was whether they could isolate Riddle long enough and stop a Randy Orton onslaught. Riddle is focused more on Halloween costumes than defending their titles, so it was easy getting him off his game. But even when Randy got in, the song was still the same. Sure, he got a few shots in, but the dirt dogs did as their name implies and got a little extra on the outside of the ring. After isolating Randy from his partner, Dolph did his best to submit the Viper to no avail. The fast and furious ending featured an RKO to Big Bob, a superkick to Randy, and then mat wrestling between Riddle and Dolph, showcasing the amateur wrestling ability both men posses. The tag champs walked into Raw with the belts and walked out with the belts. A fun tag match that establish the Dirty Dawgz as formidable contenders who might catch the champs slipping one day and take those titles. The Night of the Hunter I love Bianca Belair. Truly adore that woman and everything she does in the ring. Unsurprisingly, her segment with Becky Lynch this week was as close to perfect as one can get. Lynch came down as the triumphant—and NEW—Raw Women’s Champion. She talked her normal trash about being the best and the fact that she walked out of Saudi Arabia with her belt in hand proves it. But Bianca is on the hunt this week and had her sights set on the champ to dispel all of her false notions. Bianca rightly noted a couple things: A. Becky cheated, and secondly, Becky pinned Sasha, not Bianca. Right when I thought this feud was going into a typical direction, it shifted into hopefully something deeper. Belair pointed out Becky is in her feelings because even with the belt over her shoulder and the mountain beneath her feet, the fans still cheer for Bianca more than Becky. In fact, they barely cheer for Becky at all. And it eats her up that Bianca is the EST with or without a championship on her shoulders. Meanwhile, Becky is nothing without it. It’s a similar note WWE hit with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss a couple months ago, but will hopefully have more legs here. Of course, a brawl ensued, and Becky, out of anger, granted Bianca her championship match next week. The Rest Silver Bullet This week’s first match was a three-way dance between The Street Profits, The Dirty Dawgz, and Alpha Academy for an opportunity a shot at the Raw tag champs. In the same night, mind you. Obviously, the goal of each team was to get a quick W so not to be in terrible shape when they face off with RK-Bro later on. Fittingly, the team that took the least beating, those old dirt dogs, got the W. But not without some chicanery by way of Omos continuing his beef with the profits of street. Scream Queen Queen Zelina started the week with her scepter in hand, crown on her head, and a throne to sit upon. Going in and out of a British accent—I think it was British—Zelina told anyone within an earshot how dominant her reign will be. She will be generous, cruel, loved, and feared. Ambitious as hell, right? This was all set up for a rematch with Doudrop, who ultimately took the L when the queen used referee ineptitude to hit Doudrop with her scepter. Corey Graves—congrats btw!—said Doudrop ran into the scepter. I chuckled heartily. Phantom of the Opera Liv Morgan paid homage to Chucky while Carmella—congrats!—donned her Phantom of the Opera mask that would make Lon Cheney Sr. blush. Carmella got the win after a short physical contest that, of course, involved Graves somehow because duh. The match didn’t really do anything for me and I don’t really know where we’re going with this one. Meh. Grizzly Cedric Richmond tried. I mean, he really did. But Keith Bearcat Lee was a man on a mission. And no, he didn’t wave his hands side to side with Sir Mo. They still need to get this naming convention straight with him. Sometimes it’s just Bearcat Lee. Other times it’s Keith “Bearcat” Lee. But apparently the main thing that matters is domination. Meanwhile, why did we resurrect The Hurt Business? I’m asking for myself and a friend because we’re both very confused. Psycho II Damian Priest showed up with a new presentation and apparently a new gimmick. Now, he’s got this split personality where if you piss him off, he goes from Bruce Banner to the Incredible Hulk. T-BAR made him angry during their match when he launched a chair at him like a lawn dart and got DQ’d. Mr. Bar then found out he doesn’t like Damian when he’s angry. Priest flashed a look, threw said chair back at T-Bar, pummeled him into the barricade, and then left the man laying with a Reckoning. Did Priest need this? Shrug. But it’s progress. Unfriended Am I the only one weirded out by the fact we’re making matches off threats to take selfies in the ring? I can’t be, right? Somehow, the selfie is now the most disrespectful thing one can do and Austin Theory is the king of this particular brand of disrespect. Austin challenged Dominik Mysterio to a match because Dom said no to a selfie. The two put on an okay if seemingly pointless match. Theory got the W in a decent affair. Raw was solid tonight. The show was bookended with people we care about, and there was no stinker on the card. The ladder match didn’t disappoint and they made all of Houston want to see Becky lose her title to Bianca post haste. I was sports entertained. Grade: B+ 1 Like 1 Share |
