Lol, you guys are funny on this thread sha  The only reason I stopped shouting that CR7 deserves this year's Ballon d'Or is cos Benzema deserves it too, both of them have had better outputs this year than Messi but I think Benzema deserves it more... infact I actually want Benzema to win it now that he has a real chance... BUT Ronaldo is still indisputably the greatest footballer that has ever lived and it's not about to change anytime soon 2 Likes |

WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS I absolutely loved the way they closed this show. Brock Lesnar is a force of nature, a straight up animal, a dude who once tore a car door off and threw it into the audience. He’s the type of animal you’d be deathly afraid to be in a cage with. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if, when you were trapped in that cage with him, he tore your limbs off. No, it would surprise you if he didn’t. That’s what made this so damn good. Lesnar, I’ll be damned, is playing mind games. On most days, I would roundly reject this from WWE, because WWE has a bad habit of overdoing it with this kind of thing. But they’ve been almost understated in this regard, just like they were here. Roman Reigns had Paul Heyman look over the contract for their match at Crown Jewel, and Heyman ensured him it has “everything you asked for” before advising him to sign it. Reigns did so. When Lesnar was given the contract, he didn’t even bother taking his eyes off Reigns. He just signed it blind. “You must be some kind of a dumbass,” Reigns remarked. “A big dumb farmer, huh? You just sign it without even reading it, what’s wrong with you, man?” “Roman, I already read the damn contract this morning — with my advocate, Paul Heyman.” And then he walked away. There was no physical confrontation, no fisticuffs, no pull apart brawl, no fight at all. Just Lesnar sowing one last seed of doubt in Roman’s mind on where Heyman’s loyalty really lies. It’s been a good hook for this story from the beginning but I’m impressed with how well they paced the story and just how hard it hit when Lesnar waited that beat and delivered that final line. We’ll see how this all works out in under a week now. Thanks to all this, I cannot wait to find out what happens next. Same hell, different devils I’m pretty disappointed in the story beat they gave us in the Edge-Seth Rollins feud, and I fully admit that has everything to do with my own interpretation of the story up to this point. That mostly has to do with the fact that, up until now, it sure felt like the story arc was about Edge going down a dark path in pursuit of material things (that admittedly meant so much to him), realizing he went too far, accepting what came about as a result of that, and ultimately only being pulled back into action because his nemesis had himself gone too far in pursuit of satisfying his foolish pride and ego. This arc makes Edge heroic. It shows that he is not the Edge we’ve known in the past, that he’s grown beyond that darkness, that he is the light. Turns out, that’s not what happened at all! Turns out, yep, he’s still the devil, and Rollins, too, is a devil, and these two devils are going to go to war in the place you would expect two devils to settle their differences. Hell (in a Cell). Which, yeah, I guess that’s consistent for the Edge character all throughout his career, and it’s kind of epic on its own, sure, but it leaves me emotionally unsatisfied. Edge isn’t a hero, he’s a devil out to scar Seth’s soul in a way that will never heal and I’m to cheer for that because… what, Rollins is a bigger piece of shit? Later, Rollins had his turn on the microphone and he rightly pointed out that he got his way, as Edge more or less admitted he is not “Edge-lite.” Then he wanted to make clear that he’s not intimidated or afraid to face Edge inside Hell in a Cell, because Edge is right, they’re both devils. This kind of sucks now. The match will probably rule, though, so that’s cool! All the rest Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks looked a bit off on their timings and their match looked a tad disjointed to me but they still managed to make it entertaining when all was said and done. Banks scored the win with Bianca Belair ringside, and then they were all ushered out as quickly as possible with Adam Pearce screaming to production folks to get the ring set up for the main event segment. It felt strange and not befitting of stars the level of Banks, Lynch, and Belair, but that’s what happens when you promote zero commercial breaks up against your main competition on the other channel doing the same. They definitely did nothing to address the criticism of how the King of the Ring and Queen’s Crown tournaments are being treated on this show. Finn Balor and Sami Zayn were given ample time to tear the house down with a damn good match while Carmella and Zelina Vega was story heavy and that story was someone losing because they were too worried about getting their face messed up so they can maintain their status as “the most beautiful woman in all of WWE.” There’s a real problem in all this, but we know WWE is going to trumpet itself as groundbreaking for doing two women’s matches at Crown Jewel, including one involving a member of the LGBTQ community. All we can do is keep calling them on it. Sonya Deville using Shayna Baszler as a ringer lines up exactly with what we expected for her “match” with Naomi on this week’s show. I still like what they’re doing here, or at least what they’re going for, I just need them to do a bit more explaining. We know Deville has a big problem with Naomi, but “you don’t take advantage of opportunities” isn’t cutting it. What’s really going on here? It’s time to go deeper. When Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick BOOGS cut off Madcap Moss & Happy Corbin, I was wondering how things would play out and what they dynamic would be between characters like this. Then they just rocked around the ring, dancing with Pat McAfee, all the way back up the stage to the entrance, where the Street Profits showed up and BOOGS played them in on his guitar as well. One thing SmackDown does really well is litters its mid-card with amusing shit like this. Sometimes you don’t need to go in depth with it. Just have fun. We really are living a great life right now. The Usos and The Street Profits never do anything but have great matches with each other, and that was the case again here, as the former defeated the latter in a Street Fight. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins are off to Monday Night Raw now, but they went out with a bang. They should do very well for themselves over on the red brand. We’ll be seeing this match-up again down the road. I hope they don’t ever extend SmackDown any longer than two hours but this didn’t feel like it was 30 minutes longer. I like the show, what can I say? Grade: B 3 Likes 3 Shares |

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Let’s talk Swerve, Indeed Santos Escobar and the rest of Legado del Fantasma kidnapped—yes kidnapped—B-FAB and Top Dolla. They committed a crime—WWE labeled it as such—on camera and Santos still wrestled for the North American Championship. Professional wrestling. It’s fantastic. This match between Isaiah “Swerve” Scott and Santos was a long time coming. Now that the former is headed to SmackDown, someone in a suit decided it was finally time for them to get it on. And thankfully, for a feud of this caliber that’s gone on for this long, and escalated to the point of an actual felony, Swerve didn’t wait for the bell to ring. I hate when blood feuds start with collar and elbow tie-ups. Swerve is angry and a wounded animal, so he should act as such. Once the bell rang, it was two men doing their best to decimate each other. Lariats, elbows, submissions, chokeholds, high-risk maneuvers, and a firemen’s carry onto the apron. Swerve and Escobar know each other well, so it was all about catching someone off guard for a millisecond. After about 15 minutes of neither one giving in, along came Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams. Trick and Melo evened the odds, took care of Escobar’s boys when they thought about interfering, and distracted Santos long enough for Swerve to get a win nobody expected. That’s it, right? We all go home happy and Swerve takes the belt to SmackDown? Carmelo Hayes had other thoughts in mind, as he used this moment to cash in his Breakout Tournament contract. You know what happened at that point. Isaiah put up a fight but it was moot. Melo shot and he didn’t miss. We got a hell of a match between two old rivals in Scott x Escobar, a surprise finish, then another finish and the last sentence on the story that was Carmelo Hayes’ cash-in. And it all made sense. Melo has no love for Legado del Fantasma, Trick pushed him to get his swagger back, and Scott wasn’t going to lose to the man who kidnapped his friends. Going forward, Hayes x Escobar can tango—with Trick waiting in the wings—while Hit Row moves to bluer pastures. All Tricks, No Treats How does one bring transparent inclusivity to a...championship belt? This was always the issue with WWE doing a character like Joe Gacy’s current incarnation. They’ll give him random buzzwords to say that they read on the Twitter machine and just prescribe them to him sans context. Anyway, Gacy promised to bring that word salad to the NXT Championship with a win over Tommaso Ciampa and pack his costume for Halloween Havoc. I don’t know about you, but Ciampa getting the W was never in doubt. Gacy showed he can hang with the champ, but since he didn’t beat the man, he isn’t ready to be the man. Ciampa left a few openings for Gacy to gain the advantage, but like a kid learning cursive writing for the first time, it was hard for him to capitalize. Ciampa is just too good. If you don't take the cat down when he gives you a shot, then you never will. After Gacy was denied his fairy-tale ending thanks to the actual Fairy-Tale Ending, sh*t got weird. And I don’t mean weird for wrestling, I just mean weird. Harland was in the crowd, standing in the same spot as last week. He locked eyes with Gacy when the match started and it was sort of brushed aside. But as Ciampa made his way to the locker room with Goldie in hand, Harland attacked the NXT champ! With Ciampa out of the picture, he went to put Gacy in a yoke and then...didn’t. Joe, like all cult leaders, apparently has the power to change moods by laying his hands upon thee. Harland backed off, looking like he had an actual come to Jesus moment. Good first match and opening segment if only because it raised my curiosity and my eyebrow. Strange things are afoot at NXT 2.0. The Rest Xyon on a Roll Poor Malik Blade. Once again, love his name. Love his look too. But you know who has a better name and a doper look? Xyon Quinn. Xyon manhandled Malik, as he’s clearly someone NXT wants to establish Xyon as another big thing. Not quite as big as Mr. Breakker, but semi-big. Speaking of Bron... Young Breakker came to Ciampa’s aide when the Grizzled Young Veterans stepped to him. Bron told Ciampa he has his back for now because he wants him at his best at Halloween Havoc. A quick segment that did some character development for Bron, moved the story forward between he and Ciampa, and was, logical. Bron doesn’t want any excuses or an asterisk next to the W he believes he’ll get. And next week, we’ll find out how true to his word he is as he and Ciampa will have their hands full with the Grizzled Young Vets in a tag match. Ivy Nile is a Beast Ivy Nile made her in-ring debut this week and, of course, she squashed her competition. But it was the way she did it that impresses. She squatted another human being. For fun. It was a version of the Torture Rack that looks infinitely more painful than the original because the spine just shouldn’t bend that way. Diamond Mine is legit, people. Get familiar. Give Mandy Her Flowers Last week, I sang Mandy’s praises. This week? I bellow them from the top of the mountain. She was the best part of Toxic Attraction’s promo this week, commanding the ring and the audience while convincing me the NXT Women’s Championship might look better on her than on Raquel González’s. She called her shot, issued a challenge, and at Halloween Havoc, the champ will spin the wheel and make a deal to determine the stipulation for their championship match. Go Mandy! Friends. How Many of Us Have Them? NXT is telling a story with Kyle O’Reilly that I like. This is a guy who, understandably, doesn’t want to trust anyone and be a part of anything anymore. Very similar to what another company did with a certain angsty cowboy. Von Wagner is doing all he can to open up Kyle’s heart let him in just a little bit. This match was about more than just exorcising the Pete Dunne and Ridge Holland demons; Von Wagner needed to prove his loyalty and reliability to Kyle. And that’s exactly what he did. Wagner said he has Kyle’s back and not only did he save O’Reilly multiple times during the match, but he was Kyle’s number one fan as well! Good match, better story. The Dumbass Class Chase U is exceptional. Andre Chase explained how he “schooled” Odyssey Jones last week. He then sonned a hapless student who had the audacity to accuse Chase of cheating. Brandon was sent to join Steve in the “dumbass class.” Red Foreman would be proud. Wrestlers and Guns Arn Anderson, at this point in his career, is still setting trends, After he talked about Glocko Pop a couple weeks ago, Julius Creed followed suit. This week, the Diamond Mine member told Ikemen Jiro—and us (!)—that he “stays strapped.” Of course, it was a clever double entendre referencing the straps on his wrestling attire and how he’s always ready for a fight, so points for wordplay. But still, wrestlers talking that street sh*t is definitely a choice. Another choice? Jiro thinking it was a good idea to challenge Creed as his beef with the Diamond Mine continues. After Creed bodied the main the fancy jacket, Kushida stormed to the ring to save his friend from a beat down. Kushida x Ikemen are going to need a lot more guns if they want to take on Bivens’ crew and actually survive. Indi Isn’t Focused Indi Hartwell x Persia Pirotta made quick work of Amari Miller x Sarray. Pirotta said she wants the tag champs. The tag champs obliged and Toxic Attraction followed. A fight broke out with Io Shirai and Zoey Stark standing tall. But before we got to that point, Hartwell was giving Dexter Lumis all the attention in the world. Something tells me she’s not ready to go after tag titles. Do Kids Love Poker? Time to keep it real: I don’t understand the Duke Hudson poker player gimmick. Why is a poker player interested in wrestling? What does he gain from it? It reeks of Duke “The Dumpster” Droese or Issac Yankem. But he got the win over Grayson Waller, so hooray? Body in the Trunk, Stay in Line, Punk Lash Legend’s talk show didn’t work for me this week. The point was to further whatever is going on between her and Tony D’Angelo. D’Angelo wanted to guest on the show and she said nah. Her producer also said nah. Fast forward and it turns out, shocker, D’Angelo wasn’t too thrilled with being told nah. He stuffed Lash’s producer in the trunk of his Benz. NXT is throwing segments and matches at us so fast this week that it’s easy for some of this stuff to either blend together or possibly ignore what doesn’t work. Not so fast, WWE. I don’t get where we’re going here unless Lash and Tony are going to wrestle each other or the latter plans to manage the former. This show moved with the speed of a train going downhill with no brakes. Every segment moved a story forward, and NXT continued its formula of showcase matches with shorter ones in-between to get over specific wrestlers. Some of it still doesn’t work for me, but most of what they did this week spoke to me. To quote a certain long-haired half-human half-Atlantean, I dig it. Grade: A- 1 Like 1 Share |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Let’s talk Raw! No, We Can’t Get Along The Uso’s came around on behalf of the Tribal Chief. Apparently, when you sit at the table, you can do whatever you want when the Head of said table wants it to happen. It’s not the best logic but okay. Especially since it doesn’t explain how Sasha, Becky, and Bianca are on Raw this week. If WWE just explained to us in a simple sentence that wrestlers can come and go as they choose until the draft results go into effect, that solves everything. Their job was to decimate WWE Champion Big E and soon-to-be SmackDown wrestler, Drew McIntyre. Reigns wants E taken out before their one-on-one at Survivor Series, and he just doesn’t want the smoke with Drew O’Mac. While Drew and E aren’t exactly friends, they agreed to put their competitive beef to the side because Jimmy and Jey aren’t cats to take lightly. How would two men who have a scheduled match in two weeks fare against two brothers who are also one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history? E and Drew needed to survive, while the tag champs needed to “finish the mission.” Drew and E were on the same page when the match started. As the match went on, they started reading from completely different books. E took the brunt of the punishment from his old rivals, and made a hot tag to Drew. Drew dominated Jimmy x Jey. During his Claymore countdown, E tagged himself in, a bit of payback for last week when Drew did the same thing, while also showing how frustrated E is with Drew. When E went for the pin, guess who broke it up? If you said “one of the Uso’s” then you guessed wrong and clearly didn’t watch Raw. It was Drew. After stopping his teammate from winning the match, Drew and E battled on the outside of the ring to an eventual count out. And when I said “battled” I really mean it. E drew blood on Drew’s forehead, ring steps were used as weapons, and the barricade around the ring almost gave way. It looked like they’d do Roman Reigns’ dirty work for him, but the Uso’s know that’s not good enough. But even they weren’t enough to contain the built up rage E and Drew wanted to unleash on each other. Once the champion and his challenger were done with them, they went back in the ring and squared off against each other. Again. Drew hit a Claymore out of nowhere and left the champ wondering what century he was in as Raw went off the air. Much like another match we’ll get to, this was more about the story and less about the flips and kicks. Until this week, E and Drew’s beef was friendly. Now? not so much. Friendly competition for the WWE Championship rarely works out, so putting some extra juice on the match is a good thing. Meanwhile, I’d hate to be Jimmy and Jey Uso on Friday night. No Contest “Get em in the ring and let them start it right now!” never actually worked for anyone, Adam Pearce. Thanks, Management. With that out of my system, WWE’s two women champions teamed up to wrestle Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair. Eventually. Since Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Sasha, and Bianca all hate each other with the passion of 10,000 suns, it was partner against partner for a good five minutes. That tension led to a tag match with each woman wanting to prove they could do it dolo (Dunn language/Mobb Deep slang for those who don’t know). And for a while, a very brief while, it looked like an actual tag match would happen. But Sasha and Bianca couldn’t resist beating on each other, while Becky tagged herself in and Charlotte let the women beat up on each other. The ref ruled the match a no contest. Can you blame him? While I know some may feel cheated out of not getting an actual match from these four, it makes perfect sense from a storytelling standpoint. There was no way on this earth, or any other earth, these four women could get along. Especially not the three of them fighting for a championship in a couple weeks. While the past couple weeks featured Sasha’s smarts and Bianca’s power, this week was all about Becky’s cunning. She let her two opponents beat on each other and she picked whatever meat was left on the bone. The Rest He’s Going to be a Mighty King, So Enemies Beware Xavier Woods advanced in the King of the Ring tourney with a hard fought W over Ricochet. Woods and Ric-o-shay put on a phenomenal opening match, with each showing just how much they want need that crown. Xavier, much like Simba, just can’t wait to be king. Ricochet needs it for validation and to graduate to another level in his career. In the end, the high-flying Ricochet was a tad overeager. After using his body as a battering ram two times in a row, the third time wasn’t the charm. Xavier moves on. But who will he face? His partner or Jinder Mahal? It’s Jinder Silly me. I thought WWE was giving us Kofi x Xavier for a story of New Day vs. New Day for a shot at the crown they both desire. But after Kofi didn’t kick out of the Khallas, it’s clear we’re not getting that. Kofi and Jinder put on a good match, and now we avoid any discussion of a New Day breakup. Which is cool. And maybe the King of the Ring tournament doesn’t need the extra juice of two teammates going to war for a scepter. That said, WWE clearly set it up with both members avoiding answering what would happen if that became a thing. If it’s not going to happen, why even tease us? Shayna Moves On, Dana Goes Home Last week, many spilt a lot of digital ink over Corey Graves’ comments about Dana Brooke. As a watcher of a lot of WWE over the years, those comments felt sanctioned and supported by Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Why? Who knows, but Dana and Shayna Baszler went at it again this week in the first round of the Queen’s Crown Tournament. Would we get a different outcome than last week? No, not really. BUT, Dana put up a fight and made it at least a little interesting. Plus, she talked sh*t to Graves, which was a nice touch for her. But the L makes the comments from last week seem even meaner and makes me question what exactly are they doing with Dana. Doudrop Did the Upset Doudrop beat Natalya in their Queen’s Crown matchup, setting up a payoff between her x Shayna in the semi-finals. When You Come at the All Mighty... Straight to the point: Bobby Lashley is disappointed in Goldberg. He doesn’t believe Goldberg getting his Arn Anderson on is befitting of a WWE Superstar, a former WWE Champion, and definitely not a WWE Hall of Famer. No, sir, he doesn’t like it. According to Bobby, no matter what Goldberg does, he can’t touch, hurt, or kill the All Mighty. Strong stuff from the former champ. Not sure it advances anything but that’s the problem with a marquee matchup for a show two weeks away when one of the wrestlers is a part-time cat. Not Quite a Roundhouse Kick... Omos made mince meat of Riddle. Randy Orton told his partner that if he wants to take on Omos, he’s doing it alone. Riddle didn’t believe him and for a while, it looked like Randy was a man of his word. Omos won the match 10 seconds after the bell rang, but AJ Styles wanted more. The man was embarrassed by Randy and Riddle last week, why wouldn't he? After Omos delivered an awful roundhouse kick that was barely a kick to begin with, he finished the match with his signature move. AJ got in the ring, set up a Styles Clash, and was eventually jumped by Randy Orton. Once again, AJ looks like the weak link. I said last week that they need a new note to play going into Crown Jewel and apparently no one heeded my words. Le sigh. Putting on the Hurt (Business) Right when I was wondering why The Hurt Business was reinstated, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander pick up a very quick win over Mansoor x Mustafa Ali. And I mean really quick. Both teams needed a W but it wasn’t in the cards for Mansoor and Ali tonight. Finally—finally—Ali had enough and ended their partnership after holding yet another L. About time, because after what felt like months of teasing, it’s time for those two to go blow for blow. This is the Way... It’s hard to get invested in this one. Austin Theory x Jeff Hardy matched up after the former got incredibly disrespectful last week. Before they could get a lather, the 24-7 brigade came through for...basketball reasons. Hardy, the legend, looked ready to use the shenanigans to his advantage. But then he missed the Swanton Bomb and got beaten with a roll up. Okay, cool. Raw plodded to its finish this week and an average show is in the books. The bright spot? A lot of stories moved forward and the King of the Ring matches were on point. The rest of the show just didn’t produce anything exciting or interesting. Oh and the Queen’s Crown matches, to this point, are glorified squashes that barely lasted two minutes. On a three-hour show, that’s unacceptable. Grade: C 1 Like 1 Share |
