You're wrong,over 50000 ucl goals without 1 singles golden boot, that's the real definition of useless.Benzema's goals are absolutely useless.

Benzema's goals has won him 4 UCL titles and he has a spot in the UCL hall of fame when he hangs up his immaculate boots...Suarez is a small boy in the UCL and it's not even close

WWE RAW REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS


Big Poppa
I love an overarching thread with multiple twists, turns, and a logical conclusion. Monday Night Raw set it off this week with a match pitting WWE Champion Big E vs Bobby Lashley. Lashley truly believes E can’t beat him, which explains all the rationalization he’s done since the All Mighty added “former WWE Champion” to his resume. Their opening match, which was ill in all the right ways, showcased a dominant Lashley and the reinstatement of the Hurt Business.
Yes, ladies and gents, the Hurt Business is apparently back in business. Once Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander made their presence known, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kington stepped in. A brawl ensued, a DQ was handed out, and it was the best kind of chaos. Adam Pearce, clearly not a fan of anything he saw, said the match would continue later tonight in a steel cage. No Hurt Business, no New Day. Just Lashley x E trapped in twisted steel.
These two cats didn’t disappoint.
Besides the brutality of the match, it was the clear desperation both men showed. Bobby Lashley needed to beat E to prove his point. Before the bell rang, got all of the upper hands on the champ. Lashley didn’t want to leave anything to chance and wanted every advantage he could muster. If that meant tossing E around the floor before the match officially started, then so be it. If that meant calling the Hurt Business down to do business, that’s cool too.
E needed to beat the All Mighty to shut him and anyone else up who believes he’s not a legitimate champion. Despite the pre-match ass whooping, E lit Lashley up like a pinball machine once the bell rang. He used the cage to his advantage every now and then, but he wanted to overpower the man. It wasn’t just about proving he was the better man; E needed to prove he was the stronger man.
In every good or great wrestling match, a character flaw is shown and exploited. Early in the match, we got ours from Lashley. Rather than continue to go for pin attempts, Lashley tried climbing out. Corey Graves, a man who should make it his business to be Flava Flav to Lashley’s Chuck D, said Bobby wants to win the title in dramatic fashion.
Bobby’s ego didn’t allow him to just take the W when it was right there; he had to showboat and continue his pattern of habitual line stepping. E stopped him from getting out and tried to do a Big Ending from the top rope, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be.


Not yet anyway.
We even got a tease of a Hurt Business x New Day feud I’m dying to see. When Shelton and Cedric interfered to stop the champ from climbing out, Woods and Kofi represented as they should. Woods, in particular, looked like a man who needs a belt around his waist when he slammed the cage door on Bobby Lashley’s head, and superkicked Cedric back to Main Event. No diss to the man or Main Event, but yeah, you get the point.
Once the four men were finally in the locker room, E and Lashley continued their war. That desperation I mentioned showed up again as both men had chances to walk out of the gate. When Lashley tried to walk out, E grabbed his arm as many times as possible. When E looked ready to saunter out, Lashley grabbed his ankle.
They were literally holding on for dear life because the title, and beating each other, means that much to them. Neither man wanted to stay down and neither could stay down. E survived a spear and a spine buster, while Lashley survived multiple suplexes and a Big Ending.
But when the challenger had the champion in a precarious position, his fatal flaw reared its ugly head again. Rather than walk out the gate or go for a pinfall, he once again decided to climb out of the ring, apparently learning nothing from earlier. E caught him again and this time, he nailed the Big Ending from the top rope.
1-2-3.
While basking in the moment, a familiar tune blasted out of the arena speakers and Drew McIntyre, sword in hand, made his intentions known to the champ. We didn’t get a fight—and still no swordplay—but it’s clear Drew Mac wants a fight and E is ready to give it to him.
I hope this isn’t the last tango the Hurt Business and New Day do, but this was a fantastic story and match. In just a few weeks, E and Bobby told a succinct story with a logical conclusion. Well done, boys.


Priest x Sheamus Get Extreme
I didn’t think they’d get me. After seeing Sheamus and Damian Priest go blow for blow over the United States Championship for several weeks, I got it. Priest is better than Sheamus right now. How many times can they tell the same story?
Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t put money on that because the extreme rules stipulation was the proper escalation of a feud built on physicality. As usual with most matches like this in WWE these days, they start out wrestling until one guy realizes they can use kendo sticks, chairs, and whatever plunder they can find. Chekov’s table made an early appearance thanks to the champ, and he suffered a White Noise for his troubles. In fact, with Sheamus’ history as a brawler, one might think this was the perfect match for him to finally best the Infamous one and snatch back the gold. Right?
Yeah, about that. We’ve seen Priest outsmart Sheamus in their previous matches. Even last night, he was just quicker to the draw than the Celtic Warrior. This week, Priest showed he’s the better man physically as well. He survived Sheamus’ best shots, and, in my favorite spot of the night, threw a chair at the man’s face to counter a Brogue Kick.
Ultimately, Sheamus met his...reckoning...after going through a table in the corner of the ring, and then taking a Reckoning.
This should be the last gasp in this feud. The draft is Friday, and these two have fought each other enough. Damian needs more challengers, and Sheamus might benefit from a change of scenery. Good ending to a story that went a long way in making Damian a legit tough cat and not someone you want to mess with.


The rest
Words from Goldberg’s Garage
Goldberg doesn’t know what kind of a papa Bobby Lashley is. Clearly, Lashley isn’t the type to have a painting of his arm and his baby clinging to said arm on his wall. But that aside, Goldberg wants to fulfill a promise he made to his wife and his son to always protect the latter, at all costs. If he’s lucky, he’ll get to kill Lashley.
This is a good story because its relatable and understandable. Lashley hurt Goldberg’s son, Goldberg wants his pound of flesh. And you know what? I hope he gets it. Goldberg’s never been the best promo but that worked because it felt real and I’m riding with the old man.

Finally Phenomenal
AJ Styles can pretty much do anything he wants in a wrestling ring with anyone he chooses to do it with. Styles and Riddle put on a dope television match that, at times, looked like someone was legitimately hurt. From a story standpoint, he needed this W. AJ’s racked up several Ls over several weeks, and looked anything but phenomenal. That changed this week and it was beautiful to watch.

Charlotte Has no Time for This Either
Charlotte Flair wasted an open challenge on Doudrop because, duh, Eva Marie isn’t finished with her former “friend” yet. Anyone who knows wrestling saw this coming from 25 miles away, so it’s not shocking. However, it is disappointing because there’s no end in sight to this thing between Doudrop and Eva plus it ruins her first title match. No one was served well here, so consider it a swing and a miss.
And yet..
Raw moves fast. Remember when I said it looks like we’re still doing this thing with Eva and Doudrop? Like I just said it? Scratch that. Eva got on the mic and said she should be Raw’s champion of women. What’s more, she believes she can beat any woman in locker room. This brought out an angry Shayna Baszler, who did to Eva the same thing she did to Nia Jax last week. I guess WWE thought Shayna would get booed for this?

Handsome Finish
Angel Garza x Erik danced for a bit as a breather after the hot opening segment. It was a glorified squash as Garza got the W.

Reggie Lives to Fight Another Day
Silly me for thinking Richochet was getting a real chance to get some gold around his waist. Instead of a match filled with cats getting higher than a giraffe, we only got a taste of that until R-Truth, Drake Maverick, and friends interfered. Wherever this ride is going, I want off.

That’s no Bear, That’s a BearCAT
Tozawa, fresh off another 24-7 embarrassment, demanded a match with anyone. Out came the newly minted Keith “Bearcat” Lee. This is obviously a reboot for the former limitless one. And he looks good. He looks like someone I need to take seriously. But Bearcat? Really? I guess if you’re going to debut that nickname, Cincinnati is the right place. If only Lee wasn’t from Texas.

Matching Capes
Nikki A.S.H. wants matching capes for Super Brutality. Rhea Ripley isn’t convinced.

Six Man Chaos
Jeff Hardy, Mansoor, & Mustafa Ali vs. Jinder Mahal, Shanky, & Veer battled in the ongoing saga of Jeff Hardy wandering from position to position on Monday nights. This was a quick hitter that didn’t last long enough to get good or bad. Jinder and the boys got the W as the holding pattern before the draft continues.

He’s the Commanding Officer Now
Another squash/holding pattern match between Karrion Kross and Jaxson Ryker. They’re building Kross as a dominant super shredder, one who even poked fun at Ryker’s military service. It was a nice touch and added personality to a guy who needs as much as he can to overcome that look.

Raw was good this week. The show moved at a good clip, was bookended by two dope matches that told one long story, and was mostly entertaining in the middle. While a lot of it was a holding pattern because things change Friday and next Monday, it was a good sendoff for Raw as we know it.

WWE WRESTLEMANIA BACKLASH REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS

ALL ON HIS OWN
Not many have been able to go toe to toe to start a match with Reigns, so the start of this match made Cesaro look strong.
Reigns did a good shoulder tackle and went to cover Cesaro immediately, and then Cesaro returned the favor for his own one count. He almost got Reigns in a swing but he was able to wiggle out.
Cesaro then started favoring his right shoulder after a nasty fall, and Reigns started taking advantage of that. A Samoan drop put Cesaro on that shoulder, and Reigns locked up a Superman punch, but he countered with an uppercut.
Cesaro attacked one of Reigns’ legs and did the sharp shooter, but Reigns got out of it. An awesome corkscrew over the top rope from Cesaro and then charging at Reigns with an uppercut. Reigns draped Cesaro’s bad shoulder over the top rope and held it there. Great spot.
Reigns trash talking started up and he started snickering and smiling at Cesaro’s will to fight. He kept beating him up and Cesaro looked rough, but you could see it on his face that he wasn’t ready to give up. Cesaro started a come back and Reigns got serious.
A clothesline saw Cesaro writhe in pain. He fought through it and did an incredible superplex over the top rope fore a near fall! Cesaro went for a Neutralizer and he couldn’t do it. So Reigns transitioned into an armbar and Cesaro rolled out.
Cesaro went for a springboard uppercut and Reigns met him with a Superman Punch, and Cesaro just kicked out at 2.9!
CESARO COUNTERED THE GUILLOTINE! He locked in the sharp shooter and Reigns screamed in pain. Cesaro transitioned to an armbar and Reigns powered out and pummeled him.
Reigns locked in another Guillotine, and he powered out again! But Reigns locked it in again, and it looked like it was over. Cesaro tried so hard to get out of it, but he couldn’t.
Jey Uso came down and draped the lei over Reigns, and attacked Cesaro viciously.
All of a sudden Seth Rollins came down to the ring. He and Reigns locked eyes and Rollins attacked Cesaro seemingly... for Reigns? I don’t know what the look and smile was for. Rollins just destroyed Cesaro’s shoulder and did the curb stomp.
That was an unexpected ending for this show. I would have thought that there would be some continuation of the Jimmy/Jey/Reigns saga, but they opted for Rollins and Cesaro instead.
The few parts with Jimmy throughout the show were to continue the division in the family and have Jey playing sides, but Jey just continued to play for Roman and Jimmy didn’t come out at the end like I thought he was going to.
The bigger story out of this - Roman did it all on his own. No cheating, no interference, no disqualification. Roman locked in the Guillotine in a straight up wrestling match, and won the match by himself. It plays right into the story they were telling on SmackDown, and I’m very intrigued to see how Jey reacts to that on Friday.
Cesaro was excellent and played his babyface role perfectly. I’m sad to have seen him lose here, but WWE hopefully sees him in a much higher position now. He deserves it.

Always be on the look out
Asuka and Ripley played it smart right in the beginning trying to take out Flair.
Of course, we all know double teaming never ends up working for more than a minute.
Ripley took her eyes off Flair for a moment and Flair took advantage by taking out her left leg on the apron. But Flair didn’t pay attention to Asuka and Asuka did a seamless transition into the Asuka Lock. That was beautiful!
Ripley broke that up and hit Flair with a flurry of knees and a really nice Northern Lights suplex. Asuka got there right at the two count. She was able to take both women out and got a nice minute and a half of offense.
And then The Queen did her Moonsault from the top rope top the floor. It’s been a while since we’ve seen that! Ripley and Asuka met Flair on that same top rope and teamed up again for a double superplex.
It all broke down between them and Flair did a double Natural Selection, trying to do Reigns’ smash ‘em, stack’em, pin ‘em but it didn’t work for her.
But what was a bit of some really good storytelling here is that Flair ended up losing because she took her eyes off of Ripley. Asuka knocked her off the apron, and Ripley came in and won the match right under her nose.
Now, what I probably wouldn’t have done was all the childish stuff after, sticking her tongue out and acting like a 4th grader, but we’ll all forget about that by next week. Charlotte and Rhea are not done yet.
As for Asuka, I really don’t know where we go next. It’s a shame how she has been treated since October of last year. Never the centerpiece in her own feuds, always tied to other people, and coming up short in non-title matches. She deserves better. I’d probably move her to SmackDown.
This show made clear that she’s not positioned atop the Raw women’s division anymore.


Baby champ!
Earlier in the day, those Dirty Dawgz attacked Dominik to take him out of the match.
So Rey Mysterio came out alone and gave it to the bad guys. Mysterio did a baseball slide to Ziggler and Roode. The one to Ziggler looked nasty but he was alright.
It finally turned into a match with tags between the Dawgz.
Once it turned into a match, Ziggler and Roode largely dominated Mysterio. They had him their corner and Ziggler did the assisted Famouser for a near fall. Then Roode threw Mysterio into a superkick, and Mysterio made it back into the ring for the 9.9 count. Really great moment.
And then the young Mysterio walked down the ramp and told his Dad to tag him in. Ziggler did the Zig Zag for another near fall, but the heels weren’t letting him get to his son.
Finally, Rey got to his corner, but he was hesitant to tag Dom in, so Dom tagged himself in. Very good storytelling here. Roode did a great spinebuster, and they teamed to do a neckbreaker. Dom kicked out.
Ziggler set up the superkick, and Dom did one of his own! Rey got the hot tag and it looked like Roode would get the victory, but Rey kicked out. Roode kept taunting the young Mysterio and Rey did the 619 to him and took out Dolph. Dom did the frog splash and got the victory.
Really classic babyface storytelling in this match. Roode trash talked Dom the whole time, and ended up eating the pin. Rey was hesitant to tag in his injured son, and Dom taking charge showed some good character work. All around good stuff here and I’m happy to see this continue.


Continued dominance
Lashley tried to get McIntyre to take out Strowman with him, but Strowman didn’t give them time.
However they finally were able to give a monstrous suplex to the monster. Braun was very angry with that because he damn near spiked his head on the outside diving to take them out. Drew and Bobby saved his damn life on that spot.
Bodies were everywhere. McIntyre Claymore kicked Strowman over the barricade after Strowman hit Lashley with the steps. McIntyre then threw Lashley through some LED boards and sparks flew.
Strowman bulldozed through McIntyre realizing that Lashley was out of it, and did a senton to McIntyre. Gosh that looks especially painful by a 380 pound guy. McIntyre ducked Strowman and did a Mishinoku driver! McIntyre then went for a Claymore on the outside and Braun caught him and they crashed through the announce table. Wow.
Braun tried the powerslam and Drew Claymore kicked him, and then Lashley decided to grace us with his presence to steal the victory.
I really appreciated the announcers giving us some history on WWE title and triple threats. Made this match feel more important. And once Bobby went through the LED boards, this match got really fun. I expected Lashley to win, and Strowman to get the pin, because why else was he in this match?
My guess is that Lashley and McIntyre will be at the new June edition of Hell in a Cell. By the way, Lashley hit the title so hard a piece of the red swoosh broke off. Doesn’t look bad in gold! Maybe just pop off the rest of that stuff?


The Rest
Bianca Belair defeated Bayley
It’s a shame that this match followed one of the dumbest things I have seen from WWE this year. I was not really able to pay much attention to this, after I was really looking forward to it. It also didn’t help that I already knew who was winning this, so the vitriol I had from Priest and Miz just made this not as interesting to me. Though I did really like Belair side stepping and making Bayley crash to her face on the outside. Bayley tried to use the ropes to win, and if Belair didn’t kick out, she would have won. Bayley just resorted to cheating for the rest of the match, and it didn’t work.

Damian Priest defeated The Miz
Sigh.
Not even Priest’s good looks were able to distract me from this garbage. Paid actors were dressed up as zombies and Priest and Miz at one point WORKED TOGETHER TO TAKE OUT ALL THE ZOMBIES. There were actual people dressed up as zombies. And then Morrison got eaten by them. And then Miz got eaten by them. There was a match in here somewhere.
