Chaos walking 8/10 Nice concept and hilarious too at times... especially the kissing parts plus Lionsgate gave us Holland crying over Ben that the MCU doesn't want to give us...That preacher was off point tho, he had no relevance to this movie and was just a waste...derailed it a bit for me |
Zyxzzzz:Best news I've heard all week |
WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS So, something weird happened. I liked Raw. Yeah! I know! And something else happened too. This week made me realize that I actually don’t care about the WWE title picture anymore. In fact, I ended up liking more of the stuff I normally wouldn’t have. I already didn’t particularly care for Braun Strowman, but legitimately the first time Drew McIntyre popped up on screen after the opening segment, I groaned. And it’s because WWE have taken what I enjoyed about both Bobby Lashley and McIntyre and tarnished that in the name of WrestleMania Backlash. Truthfully, since the break up of The Hurt Business, Lashley just hasn’t been the same. MVP had multiple promos on this show, and while I would normally be excited to hear him talk, I didn’t pay attention to any of them. Then they’ve had McIntyre in this... thing with Strowman for the past few weeks. It’s been boring. I’m starting to get tired of his “shtick” too. I don’t know. It’s not hitting well with me right now. And then, MACE and T-BAR seemingly reverted back to the days of RETRIBUTION being dumb, because while they’ve been thorns in the sides of McIntyre and Strowman, they were nowhere on this show. Why? They got Strowman in the rematch and then dipped? How does that make sense? The main event match between Strowman and Lashley was fine. Two big men doing big men things. But... I just don’t care. Of course Drew was there, of course one of his triple threat opponents would get in his face, of course it would lead to Drew Claymore kicking them. Next week, Drew will face Bobby. Okay. Will MACE and T-BAR show up then? Will Braun be involved? You know the answer to the second question. Aside from the WWE title picture, the rest of the show was pretty good. A few more misses, but I ended up enjoying a bulk of this show. Fair to Flair This was pretty quick, but served its purpose. Dana has a new theme, and honestly I couldn’t have realized if I wasn’t told beforehand. I don’t even remember her old theme. Charlotte really was brilliant here. “You’re still my protégé. You’re still my bitch.” Damn, Charlotte. Popped me. Sonya Deville came out after and said she’s now an equal WWE official to Adam Pearce and she heard Charlotte had a proposal. Flair went on to say that she was the woman who beat Asuka and Ripley and Ripley took her spot at WrestleMania. It would be a bigger deal if she were added to Asuka’s and Ripley’s rematch. She is the original influencer and the most famous face of the WWE women’s division. She asked Deville to make the courageous decision, and Deville did just that. Ripley came out and said that she’s put up with a lot of Charlotte’s crap and no one likes her. Asuka then came out and said that Charlotte’s a whiny cry baby. This was a wildly entertaining segment. Rhea sounded much more natural and Charlotte is spitting facts. Her inclusion in the title match brings intrigue to WrestleMania Backlash and hopefully, a better match involving Asuka and Rhea. Be fair to Flair, y’all. Winning streak Second week in and R-K-Bro is still hitting. This match came about because in their quest to get back at New Day, Elias and Ryker ended up throwing tomatoes at Randy Orton. It was a bad segment, but made better by Riddle riding by on his scooter. Later, Riddle went up to the Viking Raiders and asked if they were supporting the Vikings or the Raiders in the NFL draft. Orton was nearby, and he scooted over calling him Bro, to which Orton responded “I’m not your bro” and Riddle replied “We don’t have the same parents” and HAHAHAHA. How is this still so entertaining? Riddle was super hyped as Orton made his entrance, and Orton had that ugh look on his face as he did the turnbuckle pose. After they won doing the same stuff as last week, and Orton was more into it, Riddle did his pose in the middle of the ring and Orton didn’t do his because Riddle wanted it so bad. Seriously, how is this still so entertaining? America’s Moist Wanted I died. I laughed for nearly 3 straight minutes. I don’t even know what Miz said after because I couldn’t contain myself. Expert stuff by Johnny Drip Drip there, and got me in a good mood for a team that I’ve been desperately wanting to not see much of these days. Plus, they’re really leaning into the incoming break up. Damian Priest is a mood. He’s got this swagger about him and WWE needs to treat him better than they’ve been as of late. It never should have been solely about Bad Bunny. Very good way to end this match by Miz trying to distract the referee for Morrison, but Morrison reversed a roll up and it led to him losing. I sometimes forget how good Morrison is because they lean to heavily on Miz. Time for that break up! All Red Return So Eva Marie is back. You probably knew that even without watching this show because the great Geno Mrosko tossed up a Breaking News banner. You know that thing is only for the most special occasions. Back when Eva was on the roster years ago, I wasn’t really into her. I did enjoy her last gimmick on SmackDown Live where the movie trailer announcer would announcer that she wouldn’t be performing for various reasons. Sadly, she was gone soon after. I don’t know if she’ll be called All Red Everything since her hair is now pink. Let’s see where this goes. The Rest AJ Styles and Omos defeated The New Day Omos has that genuine big man look. I absolutely love the dynamic between him and Styles, and how New Day interacts with him. The little kicks to Omos’ legs by New Day made me laugh, and I loved how the “accidental” tag by Styles woke Kingston and Woods up. They took turns stomping down Styles in their corner but it didn’t work. Omos got back in and Kingston sold like death for him. Nothing New Day did could stop the Monster Among Men. Yes, the real Monster Among Men. Styles leapt off Omos’ shoulders and did the Phenomenal Forearm to win. This was very entertaining. The Streak is over (Sheamus vs. Mansoor ends in disqualification) Mansoor signed a Raw contract with Adam Pearce, and Sheamus walked up and challenged him after attacking Humberto Carrillo. Sheamus took over for most of the first half, and then Mansoor did some nasty elbows and Sheamus was busted open. Sheamus set up the Brogue Kick, and Carrillo attacked him causing the DQ. Corey Graves said Sheamus may have underestimated Mansoor and Carrillo, yet both men were laid out by Brogue Kicks. Huh? Mansoor had a 49 match win streak before his debut match on Raw. The streak is over. Let’s see how he feels about it. As long as he’s smiling, right? WWE Officials imploding This show was helping to further division with Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville. Very recently, Sonya has been called a WWE official and has been making decisions without Pearce. I’m very interested in where this goes, because Sonya has been very entertaining as an “official” and an official official. I wonder if the brand GMs are coming back? Angel Garza defeated Drew Gulak This was an unexpected match that came from Gulak poking fun at Garza for not getting Nia Jax. Lucha House Party defeated Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin This match felt a bit off, almost like they hadn’t had much preparation for it. Some interactions felt mistimed and I’m just saddened by the positioning of Cedric and Shelton. Now, they’re splitting too. I just don’t expect WWE to do good things with them both as singles stars. Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defeated Naomi and Lana Sure. See you all next week. Lilly has a dirty little secret Eventually we’ll find out what it is. Ending these segments with the same giggle and snarl is very creative. But people will get mad at me for my opinions. Grade: B |

WWE NXT REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Adam Cole is back (bay bay) The former “Undisputed” ruler of NXT Adam Cole finally recovered from the injuries he suffered battling Kyle O’Reilly at Takeover: Stand & Deliver. Never at a loss for words, the loquacious Lothario had a litany of complaints upon his return to the venue. He certainly wasn’t at a loss for words speaking to Arash Markazi, including berating him for making him wait outside in the hot baking sun to do the interview. Cole implied that despite his win at Stand & Deliver, O’Reilly was far from ready to be a main event player in NXT. He then declared that where he went next or what he did next was NOBODY’S DAMN BUSINESS, because wherever he went, he’d be the best damn Adam Cole that anybody has ever seen. Kyle O’Reilly watched on from the Capitol Wrestling Center in disgust. KUSHIDA and MSK vs. Legado Del Fantasma Following a successful title defense against Oney Lorcan last week, KUSHIDA was immediately jumped by Legado del Fantasma and their leader Santos Escobar sauntered down to the ring. Their plans of a three-on-one beatdown were thwarted by the arrival of tag team champions MSK, leaving the faces standing tall and setting up a three-on-three match for tonight’s show! Both sides made repeated quick tags to try to maximize a three-on-one advantage, with KUSHIDA clearing the ring (and the ring apron) before the break to put the faces in control. Legado del Fantasma regained the advantage during the picture in picture, and slowly but surely things unraveled for the babyfaces. KUSHIDA got driven through the announce table by Escobar. Carter got posted into the steel steps. Lee had to survive three on one for a LONG time until Carter finally got back to the tag rope. He tried to clean house on the hot tag but was quickly put down again, and when KUSHIDA stumbled into the ring selling his injuries he was hit with a Phantom Driver by Escobar. No one was left to save Carter in the end and Legado del Fantasma left smiling and smirking at the destruction they caused. In “Theory” Bronson Reed could earn another title shot(see what I did there? )The Way’s resident lunkhead Austin Theory told General Manager William Regal that Bronson Reed didn’t deserve another short at North American champion Johnny Gargano without going through him first in singles competition. Over “Papa” John’s objections the match was signed and Reed would get a second chance to give Theory a Tsunami splash. Reed entered before the break and was waiting for Theory (and The Way) when they all came out afterward. He was playful and respectful at first until Theory slapped him after a go behind switch, and then the match began in earnest. Theory kept bouncing off of Reed like a pinball until he was finally able to stun Reed with a dropkick, and pull down the ropes to send him tumbling to the floor. Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae hit the stereo superkicks and Theory dives to the outside to wipe Reed out, then posted him ribs first into the steel ring steps for good measure, taking full control as NXT went to commercial. The second half of the match saw a surprise appearance by Dexter Lumis, who startled Gargano and LeRae, while Hartwell slowly backed away thinking she had been betrayed. She rolled into the ring and yelled “SHUT UP! YOU TALK TOO MUCH” as Lumis stared at her unblinking, not saying a word. Theory came flying her direction and Lumis shoved her out of the way, taking the collision in her place. Reed capitalized by going to the top rope to hit the Tsunami splash on Theory and pick up the North American title shot with the win! Here’s a little example of Reed showing off his power before that climactic finish. Dakota Kai vs. Mercedes Martinez After a tense exchange between Raquel González and Mercedes Martinez on last week’s program, with Martinez accusing González of being little more than Kai’s puppet, William Regal (as always) came up with a solution to the brewing problem — have Martinez face Kai in singles competition. A win could put Martinez one step closer to getting her title shot. This match actually opened the live broadcast. Despite generally being known as a bad ass, Martinez was forced to play the face-in-peril this time, selling for the smaller Kai as the “Captain of Team Kick” booted her in the face repeatedly. The most impressive move before the commercial break though was Martinez lifting Kai off the top rope and carrying her to the center of the ring for a Cliffhanger. Her spinebuster looked pretty damn good too. Kai was in charge during and after the break, but Martinez quickly recovered and started attacking with forearms, chops and clotheslines. She picked Kai up for three straight double underhook suplexes and seemed ready to send her opponent to oblivion. Instead she snapped the arm and Kai rolled out of the ring in pain, where González was waiting for a confrontation. She missed — Martinez didn’t. An infuriated González got in the ring to boot Martinez right as she was about to FU Kai, so Martinez picked up the win by DQ but got a huge beating for her trouble. Aliyah & Jessi Kamea vs. Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon In a non-title match, the proteges of the Robert Stone Brand — Aliyah & Jessi Kamea — looked to earn a future title shot against champions Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon. The match never even happened. Moon and Blackheart were jumped by Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae before the bell rang. Robert Stone tried to present the tag team belts to his ladies like they had done something or won something, but that just wasn’t the case. William Regal announced that Blackheart & Moon would face Hartwell & LeRae in a STREET FIGHT on next week’s show. Killian Dain & Drake Maverick vs. Imperium Somebody forgot to tell Drake Maverick that he had a match Tuesday night. Maverick feared the worst, thinking Dain would immediately turn on him to rejoin Imperium for a three-on-one beating, or that Maverick would reach out for a hot tag and Dain would jump off the ropes and leave him hanging. Neither of those things happened in the first half of the match, which saw Dain dominating the action until he tagged (then threw) Maverick into the ring. Imperium did as they are prone to do (cheat) and beat Maverick up two-on-one to send us to a commercial break. That beating continued after it too, and when Maverick finally went for the hot tag, Barthel yanked Dain off the apron so he wasn’t there to receive it. An enraged Dain hit the ring to clean house on everybody in sight. As the action spilled outside Barthel knocked Dain down and ordered Alexander Wolfe to hit him with a chair... but Wolfe refused to pull the trigger! This didn’t change the eventual outcome (Maverick was hit with a Euro Bomb and pinned) but it was the first sign of dissension we’ve seen from Imperium, and even in their victory pose after the match, Wolfe stepped in front of Barthel and Aichner — and they immediately looked at him and took two steps forward to stand in front of him. Well well well! What else do you need to know? Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart got flowers backstage... from Dexter Lumis? Dexter Grimes went shopping for the “most bling” gold watch he could find. Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher sang a song for the Grizzled Young Veterans. Isaiah “Swerve” Scott announced a Falls Count Anywhere match with Leon Ruff for next Tuesday’s show! In an unannounced match, Zayda Ramier hit Toni Storm with a shooting star press to pick up a win, thanks to a distraction from Zoey Stark. All kingdoms will fall to Tian Sha. Pete Dunne declared himself to be the baddest man in NXT, “prove me wrong.” Ted DiBiase proved to be the payoff to Grimes buying a watch, showing off what a REAL million dollar watch looks like as he was telling the cashier to ring up his purchase! Grade: B- This show was very heavy on interviews, video packages, vignettes and angles. It was almost as much filler in a two hour show as you’d find on a Monday night with an extra hour to spare. The bell to bell action was good, save for the non-match that was Aliyah & Jessi Kamea’s non-title opportunity. It’s undoubtedly sour grapes on my part to complain about a match they weren’t going to win even if it took place, but why promote it on social media and YouTube and then not deliver it? Even if it SUCKED that doesn’t matter — I tuned in expecting to see it and got shortchanged. It’s telling that in the end the most memorable things about this show were promos from Adam Cole, Tommaso Ciampa and Pete Dunne. I came within a hair’s breadth of going anywhere from C+ to C-, but in the end the frantic action of the six man tag and the Bronson Reed vs. Austin Theory match saved the show. Like a lot of other people I’d like to know whose gym bag Toni Storm did her business in to not only not be announced for a match but to lose yet again to a “rookie” of the roster. |
