100naira:Omo those writers no rate Thanos at all ![]() What Ultron did to him was the worst ![]() |
andrewbaba44:Me and the guys at Real Madrid that saw Chiesa and bought Vinny instead must be from another world then |
andrewbaba44:Enrique is auditioning for you guys just incase Gavi has been the best midfielder on the pitch |
Emmynator:Na series o |
andrewbaba44:From what I'm seeing here, Gavi is even better than Pedri |
ALEXAPLAYME:In what aspect? Apart from shot power and a bit of defensive prowess what else? |
nonny1212:Vinicius is better than Chiesa...kill yourself |
nonny1212:I made a statement, you were the one that brought your tears to it and started talking about sentiments...o boy rest You no get talk |
nonny1212:Your head no carry that one? |
nonny1212:StIcK tO yOuR sHiTtY oPiNiOn Says the one with the shitty opinion |
nonny1212:being Obtuse is a trait for ignoramuses |
nonny1212:Captain obvious...you weren't the only one that complained about the defense and the fact that you were right about that doesn't mean you're right about this... Chiesa plays better on the RW if he came here that's where he would play...the faster you realise that that LW belongs to Vinny for the foreseeable future the better You're talking about the 5 goals that "blinded" us how many has Chiesa scored this season? Make him do am if E easy |
nonny1212:if you no dey use sentiment you would never say he is way below Chiesa...that's bullshyt And nobody is talking about Mbappe here |
nonny1212:it's also FIFA's opinion not just mine People don't appreciate their own players and e no make sense |
WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS MSK FTW Before we get into the main event proper, let’s talk about Trick Williams for a bit. Trick changes the energy when he steps in the ring and talks on the mic. He and Carmelo Hayes caught an early exit this week, but Trick made an impact that I cannot overlook. Back to the match itself, MSK are going to kill themselves defending their tag championships. That’s it. That’s the story. They’re willing to take on any and everyone to prove to the world they’re deserving champions, creating an interesting dynamic to their matches. This week, they fought Grizzled Young Veterans, Briggs x Jensen, and the aforementioned Trick Williams x Carmelo Hayes. They’re not doing it for clout tho; it’s for respect. But how long can this go on? At what point do the tag champs burn out? This week’s main event showcased a variety of styles and flavors for anyone who likes tag team wrestling. MSK ran their normal fast break offense, Briggs x Jensen just wanted to pound everyone into submission, Trick x Carmelo provided a mixture of both, while the Grizzled Young Vets wanted to slow everything down. In the end, it was a tired and beaten down MSK facing off against the two boys who met during a bar fight. Briggs and Jensen were in the catbird position to take the NXT tag titles, but like every team before them, they underestimated the hearts of MSK. If there’s one common thread through this week’s show, it’s how one false move is the start of your ending, MSK gets the W with a victory roll. Appropriate because they barely got this one. Remember when I asked how long can this go on? Almost on cue, Imperium came to the ring looking for revenge and for the titles they feel rightfully belong to them. They jumped the champs but pulled back once Briggs and Jensen somewhat hesitantly lended a couple helping hands. MSK has the young team’s respect but they now have at least two teams aiming for them. One—Imperium—is telegraphing their punches. The other—Briggs and Jensen—have their backs for now. But this is wrestling and we all know the lust for gold knows no friends. We might be looking at the end of MSK’s reign. Dunne and Over Pete Dunne is losing his muscle in a couple weeks, so everyone wants to test him. He wants to prove he’s “the man” with or without Holland by his side. His main aim going into his match with Cameron Grimes was to prove he doesn’t need Holland at all. Grimes wrestled a a little differently than usual, trying to match Dunne’s style. And the two showed great chemistry and put on a good match. Then Kyle O’Reilly showed up, attacked Ridge Holland—who interfered of course—and was quickly dispatched. But Grimes was distracted just long enough to taste the bitter end. Post match, O’Reilly continued his war with Holland x Dunne, as two heads are better than one every Tuesday. Dunne is willing to do whatever it takes to prove his dominance. NXT continued the story of Kyle forming an alliance with Von Wagner. Kyle needs a partner and Von is willing to be that partner. The Rest Breakker, Breakker Bron Breakker is getting his title shot in three weeks at Halloween Havoc. It’s happening, people. Bron doesn’t care how long he's been here, but he’s ready to be champ. Short and to the point. Meet the Diamond Mine I enjoyed this. A segmented hosted by Michael Bivens introducing every member of the Diamond Mine with choice quotes from each member. Bivens can talk his way into a closed theme park, so the more of this the better. An old-school tactic that always works A Rose Grew From Concrete The purpose of this match was simple: establish Mandy Rose as a credible contender. Ember Moon is NXT 2.0’s in-house legend. It would be better if she served as the last boss before someone got to the title match, but NXT’s current construction makes that hard to do. Ember controlled this match from start to...well, not until finish. Mandy can’t do what Ember can do in the ring, duh, but they at want her to be the woman. With that in mind, she nailed Ember with a knee to the face that Ember sold like a champ. Mandy didn’t look great but she looked like someone who can surprise on any given Tuesday. Speaking of Which... And just like that, Raquel González, clearly tired of the bulls*t, calls out Toxic Attraction. Mandy and her crew arrive to the ring, with Mandy even taking on the “what” chants and showing a lot of personality and passion. After a lot of back and forth, Toxic Attraction looks ready to pounce on the champ. But wait! Io Shirai and Zoey Stark come to the champ’s rescue because they have a common enemy. Toxic Attraction figures they’ll fight another day, and the champs stand tall. Odyssey Chase Didn’t really get a feel for this match. LA Knight got the W over Odyssey Jones thanks to Andre Chase. Odyssey needs a feud as does Andre—when he isn’t beefing with Steve—which might be good. LA Knight tho? Still don’t know why he’s there or what he can do in NXT at this point. Honeymoon is Over Indi Hartwell’s story for the past several months involved Dexter Lumis. Even earlier in the show, Indi and Persia Pirotta were talking about Dexter’s size in more of that patented NXT 2.0 edgy humor. But this week, she finally got back in the ring. Mei Ying put up a fight early but lost all momentum when Persia stepped in to eat a kick that was meant for her best friend. Indi gets the win and later in the show, she and Persia step to the Io and Zoey to let them know they want their titles back. All the way from Chicago Tony D’Angelo debuted and the crowd was all the way into him. Malik Blade—dope name—never had a chance. Sure, he got a couple hope spots but c’mon. We know how this works. D’Angelo got the win with a fisherman neckbreaker that doesn’t have a clever name yet. I’m not sold on D’Angelo yet as a character because it feels too retrograde. One Winner, Not Two Joe Gacy cut a promo before his match with Ikemen Jiro. He wants the ring to be a safe space, declaring there will be two winners even if the record book says it’s just one. Okay, cool. He then beat Jiro in another short-ish match, only to hug Jiro when it was all said and done. I was thinking they were going somewhere insidious with this character and the hug was the prelude to a beatdown but...it wasn’t. We did get some tension between Joe and a scary looking cat in the stands. Hopefully this deepens his character. He’s got a match with Ciampa next week, and I’d be shocked if the guy in the stands doesn’t make his presence known. Generation of Jade Cora Jade thought she was fighting Virginia Ferry. We all thought that. Only Franky Monet beat Virginia down before the bell rang and took her place. Monet clearly wanted to blow off steam after losing last week and figured Cora was the perfect target. Cora had other plans as she walked away with an upset W. Much like Mandy’s win over Ember earlier, a win over Franky means something in NXT 2.0. And still no clue where this leaves Franky. This was a packed show. Seriously, they did a lot in two hours. Most of it landed for me but some of the segments didn’t (like you, Duke Hudson, poker player/wrestler) but they kept the show moving at a good clip. Next week, and the next couple weeks, should prove interesting for NXT 2.0 and its future. This week, they put a lot of those wheels in motion. Grade: B |

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Becky Lynch to Raw makes sense with Charlotte Flair going to SmackDown. The Street Profits moving to Monday’s makes sense as well, as does Finn Balor after the debacle that was Extreme Rules. But I'm throwing a flag on the play for what happened with the Uso’s. Not saying they should move to Monday, but what I am saying is WWE dropped the ball on one of the main stories going into the second night of the draft. After Roman Reigns made it crystal clear Paul’s debt to the piper would be astronomical if his cousins didn’t stay on SmackDown, I figured we were in for a night of tension. The longer we went without knowing where Jimmy and Jey would land, the sweatier Paul Heyman’s forehead would get. Plus, Jimmy and Jey had orders to leave Paul for dead if he didn’t get results, something the advocate was unaware of last I checked. But nah. WWE answered that question during the opening moments of the show, followed by a brief follow-up that reiterated their beef from Friday. Le boo. WWE needs to change their draft format. As it stands, we get a lot of matches that don’t matter or rematches with no tension that have little or nothing to do with the drafting. It’s not hard to make a compelling show built around the draft; at least two sports leagues do it every year. WWE should give that a try because this ain’t it. The Blueprint Stands Tall The night opened with Raw’s first pick of the night, Becky Lynch, in the ring with Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair. Becky wanted a piece of the Raw Women’s Champion, while Bianca wanted a piece of both of them. Belair turned her focus to Flair after some very entertaining instigating on behalf of The Man. Seriously, Becky was the most entertaining aspect of Raw this week. Whether it was opening the show or her commentary during Bianca and Charlotte’s main event match, she played her heel role to perfection. The woman even recited a poem. Becky’s character work remains top notch and is completely in-line with who she was before her hiatus but with a few more wrinkles. Bianca and Charlotte started out a little rough as the two looked like they were on different pages. Eventually they found a rhythm and the match hit another gear. The match was filled with “flips” and “lifts” as they both tried to prove their athletic prowess reigned supreme. Bianca managed to put Charlotte in the KOD. Alas, the W wasn’t meant to be since Becky interfered before the ref counted to three. Charlotte, smartly, high-tailed to the locker room while Becky issued a beatdown to the EST. And just when Becky thought it was safe to gloat, Sasha Banks—looking like a member of TLC—took out the champ and the former champ once again. After putting Lynch in a Backstabber, Banks told the crowd she’s ready for Crown Jewel. With both of her challengers headed to Raw, Sasha is the favorite to win their Triple Threat championship match. And I can’t wait to see it. Big E x Big D x Big B (and DZ too) I didn’t expect the Dirty Dawgs to make an appearance when Big E and Drew McIntyre had the most cordial and respectful competitive conversation in history. Drew Mac congratulated the WWE Champion man-to-man and shook his hand, followed by formally asking for a shot at the title. Enter the Dirty Dawgs. Maybe it’s me—and I’m writing this, so of course it’s me—but I liked Dolph inserting himself in this equation as the Ghost of Continuity Past. Dolph played an important role in both E and Drew’s careers. As he pointed out, both men played the role of his bodyguard and learned under his wing. Of course Dolph wants a thank you from both of them. Not saying he’s right, but I get it. And it makes complete sense for his character. And with Dolph and Robert Roode aka Big Bob waiting on pins and needles for a landing spot, the former SmackDown Tag Champions needed something to do. What ensued was an entertaining tag match between four pros who know how to do tag matches. It was fast paced, with Roode doing his best to prove he is indeed a step up from Drew O’Mac and Big E. While the winning team was never in question, whether Ziggler or Roode would take the pin was. In the end, DZ caught a Claymore and looked at the house lights for three seconds. After the smoke cleared, Big E accepted Drew’s challenge and at Crown Jewel, these two will get it on. The Rest The All Mighty vs. The (Other) Man Those of a certain age might remember when Goldberg’s nickname was “The Man.” Bobby Lashley remembers since he jabbed Bill for still dressing like it’s 1998. Lashley stipulated their match at Crown Jewel be no holds barred. Goldberg, no doubt excited for the new James Bond movie, reveled in this since it gives him a “license to kill.” Goldberg said he plans to apologize to Lashley’s children after he leaves their father in the ring, on his back and gasping for air. Goldberg survived a sneak attack by the rest of The Hurt Business while Lashley stared intensely. New Day for the Street Profits Speaking of The Hurt Business, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin caught the short end of the stick. After Goldberg ran through both of them, the New Day had their go. Xavier Woods x Kofi Kingston barely broke a sweat. While it makes sense for the Hurt Biz to take an L based on what happened prior to the match, why not let them make it competitive? Or at least cheat? Cedric and Shelton just reinstated the Business of Hurt last week and they already look like chumps. Rubbing salt in their wounds, the Street Profits came out to congratulate the New Day on their W and promote their new Netflix movie with the Undertaker. I like everyone involved but this was wack. They all deserved better and more. B-Z-K for the W-I-N You know how I know WWE’s writers Vince McMahon is out of touch? Nikki A.S.H. actually said “boom, zap, kapow” in reference to Super Brutality’s attacks. It’a almost like someone’s knowledge of superheroes comes from 1960s comics. This led to a rematch between the tag champs and Tamina x Natalya. A match we’ve seen before only shorter and never once did it seem like the champs would lose. Chaos Theory After Jeff Hardy and Damian Priest battled to a surprising finish with the latter countering the Swanton Bomb into a pin, Jeff was ready to say his goodbyes to Raw. Weird since he’ll still be there for another two weeks, but whatever. After promising to bring out another “ego” on Friday nights, Austin Theory made his way to the ring. Theory got his fanboy on, clamoring over Jeff and asking for a pic together. What Theory didn’t say was he planned to attack Hardy, lay him out in the middle of the ring, and then take the pic. A nice set up for Theory’s main roster character—who is clearly sadistic—and gives Jeff something to do while we unnecessarily wait. Rain On a Parade If one checks their notes, one sees WWE’s repackaged Dana Brooke more times than most of us have fingers. Shayna Baszler doesn’t care which version of Brooke is in the ring with her, the results are the same. Dana takes a quick L and before she falls victim to the same fate as Nia Jax and Eva Marie, Doudrop comes to her rescue. I suppose Doudrop’s reasoning here is her dislike of bullies, but color me intrigued. Shayna didn’t want the smoke, which is a new look for her. RKOmos Randy Orton called out Omos. In reality, he wanted to take out AJ Styles before their tag match at Crown Jewel. Which is a fine strategy. Or it would be if Crown Jewel wasn’t two weeks away. One RKO isn’t going to put AJ on the shelf for two weeks or render him unable to compete in three weeks. Whew, WWE is going to tread water with a lot of these feuds for the next couple weeks, aren’t they? Handsome for the W Angel Garza x Humberto Carrillo made quick work of Ali x Mansoor. WWE needs to pull the trigger on this thing between Ali and his tag partner. We’re telling the same story —they’re not on the same page—for weeks now and there’s no end in sight. How many L’s do they need to stack before they progress? Poor Tozawa As if last week wasn’t enough, this week Tozawa caught a stunner at the hands of Kevin Owens. I still don’t get what we’re doing here. Especially going after another segment where Reggie did parkour, said peace to new Raw member Apollo Crews, and ran way to live another day. This wasn’t a good show. Below average at best, with two matches worth mentioning and a bunch of meh in between. Grade: C- |
thatthickgurl:Ratsasan was dope and that score they used was God-tier |
Nothing but respect for Kylian Mbappe Although he clearly wanted to leave but he never made any fuss about it and still gives his 100% for PSG. By far PSG's best player in the squad. Top attitude, top mindset and top work ethic. He'll go really far. |
