Ronald conman is worse than valverde and fukkin setien. I understand he's a club legend but I've know he's a fraud right from his everton days and never wanted him anywhere near the club as a coach.


I guess this is Bartomeu's last gift to us. As if coutinho and griezmann weren't enough. Conman is as much as a scammer as those ones.

WWE Smackdown reviews recaps and reactions

Die trying
Kevin Owens started the show by calling Roman Reigns a coward, and that that is what his family must see in him too.
Well sheesh, man. Below the belt. Savage.
(No, not really. Roman Reigns is an evil cowardly jerk.)
Paul Heyman appeared on the tron and said Owens is a masochist and a martyr, willing to do whatever it takes to win the Universal Championship. Because of this, he needs to be eradicated. Owens went to go find Reigns, and Reigns went another way around the arena and went out to the ring.
Then an incensed Owens just tood in the back where Heyman was standing watching Reigns talk on the monitor. A bit strange.
Reigns said he’s on his “The Guy” ish and he wants Owens to call him the Tribal Chief and the head of his family’s table (titled my recap of this feud that very thing last week!) and Owens came out and Jey Uso attacked him. Reigns joined in, and then later, told Jey to put Owens down for good. So Jey smashed a chair against Owens’ back as Adam Pearce and a referee were helping him walk through a hallway.
A doctor was checking on Owens in a room, and then Jey attacked him AGAIN and put him through a table. Reigns came out later and berated Owens for not giving in and Owens came out again because you can’t kill this dude.
So Jey and Roman buried him in tables, ladders, and chairs. Buried him. Put him through two of those tables, too!
And after all that, Kevin Freakin’ Owens climbed out from the rubble, sat in a chair, and said he’s going to die trying to get the Universal Championship back.
Wheeeeew. Kevin Owens is one of my favorite people on Earth, and I have been injected with adrenaline. I was a little concerned at how the next feud after the excellent stuff with Jey would go, but my concerns have disappeared.
This match is going to be violent. Delicious violence. Let’s goooooo!


Run it back
Sasha’s gonna have to fight her true instincts to go wild and tear her apart, and she can’t win that fight. Sasha has been holding her title longer than she ever has before, but she can’t handle pressure. Carmella chose to have champagne and her sommelier was about to deliver it to her, but Sasha’s music hit and he went to the ramp to interfere.
She snuck attack from behind and the dude tried again to pull her away, and she again attacked her, and Carmella again smashed a bottle on her back.
All of this is fine. I really have enjoyed the dynamic here for the most part, and Carmella’s been doing some of her best promo work.
It’s just… you know like I can’t help but think that the real life version of this would have Sasha looking way better. I’m imagining Carmella in a cloud thinking her life is better than everyone, especially Sasha, and then Sasha comes out laughing her ass off as every scene she’s in on The Mandalorian plays
What’s worse, I really can’t stand the stupid babyface syndrome stuff, especially when it happens to the same person back to back. She did the exact same thing last week! So did the sommelier! So did Carmella! Why run back the same exact thing and not have Sasha look smarter? Come on.
Both ladies were serving looks though, really hot stuff


The Sami Awards - This. Was. Awesome.
A video package played and showed us all of the times that Zayn used the noggin to get himself wins in all of his latest matches. He first presented the award for “Best Comeback of the Year” and the winner - Sami Zayn! The second award was for “Best Match of the Year”. The winner - Sami Zayn! And finally for “Superstar of the Year”, the winner - Sami Za… uh… Big E!
Big E came out to happily accept the award (which he fixed for himself before this segment) and thanked his Mom. So wholesome. Zayn tried interrupting but each time, E shoved him to the side. Zayn shoved him off the mic and said there was a mistake, and then E attacked him and smashed his Sami Award. I loved all of this. Let’s get that Intercontinental Championship on a new waist.

Bayley defeated Bianca Belair - Y’all. What the hell? All Bayley has been doing is losing, and Bianca had a win streak (excluding Survivor Series of course) and we had to have this? This is so typical WWE. Bayley lost to Natalya recently. NATALYA! And Bianca won pinning Natalya a few weeks back. Yes it wasn’t a clean loss, but raking the eyes shouldn’t incapacitate someone. It’s so much easier to just build this better. They’re going to run this back again and Bianca will win. I love Bayley but WWE doesn’t have to be lazy. You don’t have to accept the shit lazy booking from them. I won’t!

Give me all the Billie Kay segments please (Riott Squad defeated Billie Kay and Tamina) - please give me this all the time. This is how Billie Kay should be booked. She finds a new partner, the partner does most of the work, she tags in and then loses, the partner gets upset at her and she has to find someone else. Yay for a Riott Squad win! But yeah please more of this.

Otis defeated Shinsuke Nakamura - Shinsuke Nakamura has had quite a fall from grace, but I don’t think that Nakamura is the Nakamura of old anymore. Well I don’t think, I know. It’s obvious. Otis won here by doing a different move thanks to guidance from Chad Gable - a suplex and Vader Bomb. Then Gable told him that he shouldn’t have done the move that he told him to do. This is starting to get a little weird so I hope we get some clarification on where this is going soon.


Street Profits defeated Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode - So, let’s be real. The match was fine. It was so generic because it’s everything that Ziggler, Roode, Dawkins, and Ford have done with each other for the past few weeks. Ziggler and Roode cheat to try and win, Tez plays the babyface in peril, Dawkins gets the hot tag, Tez does extremely insane high flying frog splash and that either gets the win, or gets broken up. K. Cool. The most interesting part was after the match when the heels were whining and Charles Robinson got up in their faces and yelled that if they kept it up they’d be suspended.
That was the most interesting part about all of this. Running things back is WWE’s motus operandi, as we discussed a few times in this recap.

Alright, y’all. SmackDown is the Roman Reigns show and that’s been very much established. WWE can do really great and amazing things when they want to. They just… don’t. Like, come on guys. A couple of good things get sprinkled in, but make these shows as a whole more exciting. Especially Raw. My god

WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions

Rematch Set
This episode crowned the #1 contender for the New Year’s Evil NXT title match.
This was achieved by pitting Pete Dunne and Kyle O’Reilly against each other. Another match between these was bound to be good. And what would you know? It was!
NXT decided to get all of the overbooking that’s normally reserved for the end of the match over with before the bell even rang. Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, who accompanied Dunne to the ring, were ganged up on by Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Killian Dain, and a returning Breezango. (Drake Maverick tried but he was laid out immediately so I am not really counting him. Try harder next time, DM.)
Before the bell, this type of booking is fun. It was all the sins of Pat McAfee’s gang coming back to bite them in the ass right here. But more importantly, it left Pete and Kyle to just go ham on each other for 20 minutes. It got the outside action out of the way so it didn’t sully the performance these two men gave by factoring in the end.
This match was a barn burner. Soomuch action. There were a few times that the Bruiserweight seemed to have the upper hand for a little bit of time, but really it was reversing holds and trading stiff shots in various creative ways. It was brutal and it was awesome.
In the end, it was a suplex to the outside (which Kyle delivered by reversing the Bitter End on the apron) and then a knee to the back of the head from the top that earned O’Reilly the end.
It was a war between these two.
This sets up a rematch between Kyle and Finn, an outcome that was a bit surprising. I figured they’d go triple threat or Pete vs. Finn. Instead, they went for the rematch.
I’m certainly not mad about it. The TakeOver: 31 main event was a baller match. And the story is already there with Kyle losing the match but putting Finn on the shelf for months with a broken jaw. There’s less work needed to build a compelling match. And maybe they don’t want Pete to lose a title match just now.
Let’s just hope these men don’t do the damage to each other they did last time around.



A Big L
The main event of this week’s show was a bout between Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm.
There was little to no build for this one. These two have history that could have been further explored. They touched on that history a bit during a video earlier in the evening that helped promote this match, specifically discussing their rivalry in NXT UK. But there was still some more that could have been done. I’m of the opinion that every big match deserves one face to face promo segment prior.
None-the-less, the match was great. These women clearly do not like each other, and they relayed that with their aggression in this match. Given the way this ended and the lack of real build, this is a match I hope they come back to in the future and spend a little more time on.
Raquel González was directly involved in the finish, letting us know that this match was more to set up that program than this being a program of its own. Raquel seemed to come out for her spot prior to her queue when Storm was on the apron instead of Ripley. It was an awkward moment that ended with González meekly being chased back into the crowd.
She returned again when the right woman was on the apron, knocking Rhea off, catching her over her shoulder, and running the Nightmare head first into the steel post. Storm took it from there, nailed the Aussie’s head in the corner and then putting her away with Storm Zero.
So this was one Rhea’s losses, It was protected, but it is still an L. And conversely, it’s a big win for Storm heading into her next feud, whether it be against Ember Moon or Io Shirai.
Ripley will surely face Raquel González, probably at New Year’s Evil. And once again, she’ll probably take another loss. We’ve speculated here that this is Rhea putting people over before going to the main roster. If not, then they’re going to need to tell a story of Ripley once again suffering a set back.
All the matches should be good. The women’s scene in NXT is superb. The big question is what happens with the Nightmare when it’s all said and done?



A Winning Way
This is the Way.
Because of course proud nerd Johnny Gargano would name his stable after a phrase from the Mandalorian. Sasha Banks would approve.
Austin Theory picked up his first win in ages teaming with Johnny as they faced Leon Ruff and Kushida. Theory took advantage of a blind tag, catching Ruff unaware and hitting his finish (now named “This is the Way”) for the win.
This establishes that Gargano is in fact the way for Theory to find success in NXT. Though I’m still not sold on Austin’s place in the group. The Garganos’ other padawan Indi Hartwell fits. She reacts to Johnny’s ridiculous BS very well. But Austin doesn’t click with the group like she does, at least not yet. He’s still a rather dull character. Maybe that’s something they’ll play with. It’s still early. But I’m not sold.
Giving Austin an elusive win meant Kushida picked up a rare loss. Now he wasn’t involved in this match much at all and certainly wasn’t involved in the finish. Leon did the lion’s share of the work.
So this loss doesn’t hinder Kushida at all and we’re likely headed towards a North American title feud for the Japanese superstar. While that’s a bit disappointing because I had my hopes up for a match with Bálor, the more I think about it, the more I come around to it.
The NXT title scene is very busy right now, especially with Karrion Kross back. A strong run with the North American title can allow Kushida continue to build his resume in NXT for a main title opportunity that is even more earned.
But that’s getting ahead of ourselves. He needs to earn a match with Johnny for the burgundy strap first.


Big Debut Match
It looks like NXT is high on this Tyler Rust guy.
He debuted just last week to help Timothy Thatcher, even though he’s not actually associated with Thatcher. Meanwhile manager extraordinaire Malcolm Bivens was trying to recruit him backstage, recruit him before he even had a match in NXT. It all felt like we were at a part in his story where I should know more about who he is but don’t.
Rust’s match with Tommaso Ciampa this week, stemming from Tyler inexplicably aiding Thatch, proved that Bivens has an eye for talent. Because Tyler Rust took Ciampa to the limit.
On paper, this should have been one segment where Ciampa easily dispensed with the NXT newcomer. But instead, this match went two segments and there were legitimately spots where I thought Rust could score a major upset. He didn’t. He succumbed to Willow’s Bell. But he came very close. The announce team made sure to put him over big time as a future star in NXT.
A weird debut one week and a strong showing another doesn’t mean he’s getting the world title this year. But the amount of offense he had against an NXT great was definitely notable. The night ended with him apparently joining Bivens Enterprises so we’ll see where that takes both men.
Throughout all this, Ciampa and Thatcher played their mind games with each other, but nothing really moved in that regard.

All the rest:
- Karrion Kross squashed one Desmond Troy before telling Damian Priest he’ll see him at New Year’s Evil. Part of me was hoping Priest would attack Kross during his sacred entrance. Maybe next time.

- The torture for Boa and Xia Li continues. It really is time to start moving this along.

- Indi Hartwell got herself DQ’d against Shotzi Blackheart when she used Candice’s WarGames trophy against Shotz right in front of the referee. While there was an actual corner botch earlier, her failing to cheat behind the ref’s back was a planned one. Despite them still getting the best of Blackheart after the bell, Candice and Johnny’s wrestle kids still have some work to do.

There were two great matches this week - the main event and the #1 contender’s match. Nothing else was essential
