webhead: The MCU should also be rated R with characters like Hulk, the punisher, X-Men etc coming in so that they can fully explore those characters too |

WWE NXT Reviews recaps and reactions FIGHT PIT! Capitalizing Fight Pit the way we do at Cageside is slightly tongue in cheek. It’s such a ridiculous name for a wresting gimmick, over the top as we expect in our sports entertainment. But it’s actually one of my favorite innovations in recent memory. It has a very unique look. It’s a cage, but there are no ropes and there’s a balcony that the men can fight on that always seems perilous. The tap out or knockout rule is also unique enough. It’s part Last Man Standing, part submission match. In itself, that’s not new, but coupling it with the structure, it’s a different presentation. It’s the Fight Pit, and it works. With the unique style brings a different psychology. There’s no reason to do anything to try to pin your opponent. It’s either hurt your opponent enough so they can’t meet a ten count or force them to tap out. The structure is tailor made for Timothy Thatcher, which is why it’s pretty much his personal gimmick match. He can lose his matches in the regular ring, but the Fight Pit is his. Tommaso Ciampa was a worthy competitor. Unlike Tim’s last opponent Matt Riddle, Ciampa isn’t going to keep up with the grappling. But he can viciously beat the hell out of a man. That’s what he did here. Knocking Thatcher’s head into the steel bar of the Pit demonstrated that. However, he couldn’t beat Tim in his structure. Ciampa got his leg stuck between the walls of the cage and Thatcher capitalized, applying a Stretcher Muffler to the other leg, forcing the dangling Blackheart to submit. It wasn’t a long match. Maybe 15 minutes, though a third of that was Picture in Picture. But it was effective. It’s a match I want to see again, but I know that the Fight Pit is best used sparingly. We shouldn’t see it again until at least later this year. I have to wonder if this loss is going to bring Ciampa’s self doubt to the forefront. His locker room policeman persona hasn’t really clicked. But there’s plenty to explore with a Tommaso Ciampa who lacks confidence. Remember, he once got straight up squashed by Karrion Kross. That top of loss is not something that competitors forget about. Thatcher called out Ciampa’s doubt last week. We’ll see how the Psycho Killer responds to another substantial L. Upset City The Women’s Dusty Cup debuted this week. And it wasn’t without fanfare. Beth Phoenix, who returned to the announce desk in person for the first time in months, put over this new historic event. And while I would normally roll my eyes at them pushing history for a tag team tournament, I appreciated that the focus was on the history of women’s wrestling in NXT’s relatively short tenure. We know it, but it’s still pretty amazing to hear the list of women who became stars that came from NXT. Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Alexa Bliss to name a few. And while those people became stars within the WWE system, that’s important because it was the beginning of WWE’s new focus on women’s wrestling. The match that kicked off the Cup was the underdog Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter facing Toni Storm & Mercedes Martinez. The KCs were fighting from the bottom most of the match, often just surviving. An impressive hot tag from Carter started evening the score, but the big factor was Io Shirai, who returned to get her revenge on Martinez when the referee was not looking. This allowed the underdogs to pick up a win when Kacy delivered an incredible finisher from the top rope. The right team won. Carter and Catanzaro are the truest team in the entire tournament so their battle cry to win the whole thing should be on the table. Toni and Mercedes are a formidable force, but they’re not a real team. The loss here means they’ll both have matches with Shirai in the future, two programs that should be great. Baby, I’ve Got Your Number The kickoff match for this week’s installment was a Dusty Cup match between the Way (Johnny Gargano & Austin Theory) and Kushida & Leon Ruff. Kushida picked up a pinfall on Gargano and the win for his team. It’s the logical next step for the eventual Kushida/Gargano North American title program. The small amount they worked in that bout was a fantastic teaser for the full match in the future. They showed strong chemistry in a short amount of time. A 20-minute title fight should be a banger. I’m very glad that Leon Ruff is still thriving in NXT. There was real worry that he’d fade into nothing after his North American title program ended. Instead, he’s stuck around and has been treated as more of a legit competitor than he was when he won the burgundy belt. He’ll always play the underdog given his size and stature, but he already does it very well. As he gets more experience, he’ll only get better with it. Plus, he’s got Johnny Gargano’s number like few do. I don’t expect Ruff and Kushy to defeat the Grizzled Young Vets (possible favorites to win it all), but they accomplished what they needed to with their win this week. All the Rest: - Finn Bálor convinced William Regal to give him a match against Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch next week. But the champ needed to find a partner and settled on his foe Kyle O’Reilly. This should be an interesting dynamic. It’ll also give us a clearer view of whether Kyle has a program with someone else soon or if he’s still part of the NXT title scene. - Karrion Kross won a squash match against Ashante Adonis (he’s not using the Thee any more, but he’ll always be Thee to me). Kross works well in these types of bouts because it’s all character and less wrestling. And of course, there’s whatever was on Scarlett’s head. - Lucha House Party scored what could be an upset victory over Imperium to advance in the Dusty. This sets up a second round match against El Legado del Fantasma and possibly another cruiserweight title match for a member of the House Party. When these teams brawled later, #1 contender Curt Stallion (something that happened on 205 Live a while back) joined in. He’ll finally get his title match next week. - Bryan Rust booked himself a match against big Bronson Reed this week, much to the chagrin of his manager Malcolm Bivens. Rust had a good showing against the big man they’re clearly pushing, but he was not able to pick up the victory. A little bump in the road for this Bivens Enterprises partnership, but it’s early. The Fight Pit delivered in the main event. The tag bouts were fun and the tournament should only get better as we get deeper into the bracket |

WWE Raw Reviews recaps and reactions After watching this show and thinking about last week’s SmackDown, I came to a realization I hadn’t before. Have you noticed that SmackDown hasn’t done any type of cinematic stuff since Roman returned? Like… Raw is constantly cinematic moments, specifically when it comes to the Fiend. The problem though, is that it’s been making The Fiend a magical character. He didn’t start that way. He never should have become this. Then they brought Alexa Bliss into the fold. She started out as a person manipulated by The Fiend, and now she too magically appears and disappears, and shoots fire out of her hand. Now she can transform into dark Alexa. Uuuuugh. They have relied so much on these magical looking cinematic segments that have taken away from the original characters. Possessed Alexa good! Magical Alexa bad! On top of all that, nothing matters on Monday nights. Seriously. Raw is a YouTube clip show. Most of the matches have no stakes, most of the matches make no sense and get no one over, and most of the talking is terrible. This show sucks. Possession Alexa Bliss said she just wanted to talk to Orton last week, but things got a little “heated.” She introduced Asuka and Asuka tried to sit in the swing next to her but said she wasn’t allowed to. She kept addressing the empty swing as if it were the ghost of the Fiend, which was really one of the only parts I liked about this segment. Asuka mentioned His name, and Bliss snapped at her as the rocking horse in the ring rocked back and forth by itself. In the match later, Asuka would hit Bliss and Bliss would smile, similarly to her match with Nikki Cross. She dove into the ring from the outside and then the lights started going out like the Fiend, but it sounded a bit different than usual. Bliss transformed into some new clothing and goth lipstick. Asuka was kind of intimidated and still willing to fight. Bliss was taking Asuka’s moves but recovering quickly with an emotionless face. Bliss tried a Mandible Claw and Asuka blocked it. Asuka kept attacking her but Bliss did the Sister Abigail and won. Then she transformed back into gleeful Bliss and said Let Me In, but with the Fiend’s voice. Alrighty. So after everything I said in my opening remarks, I liked what they did with Alexa in the possessed part of her match. Everything else before… didn’t feel it this time. They really are relying too much on the cinematic aspect of this. I’m not really much of a fan anymore. I’d much rather preferred they just make a Fiend version of Alexa instead of relying on these possession and magical tactics. I’m not enjoying this anymore. El Dandy Orton So Orton has a Lucha mask now. You could see it was covering some burns on his face, as he opened the show saying that the voices in his head are as loud as ever after getting burned last week. He’s wearing the mask to shield us from the horror he went through. He chose compassion but it backfired on him. But he doesn’t blame Alexa Bliss. Instead, he blames the Fiend. He knows why the Fiend is doing this. He wants to stop Randy from being in the Royal Rumble. With all that has happened, Orton said he’ll still be in the match next Sunday because while everyone probably was happy to see him burn, he’ll never let this get in his way from winning and going to WrestleMania. I was wondering how they were going to do this reveal of Orton, and I actually don’t mind this. A plain Lucha mask is certainly interesting. I thought maybe they’d have done an eye patch or maybe a Phantom of the Opera style mask (come on that would have been HILARIOUS) to then do some twisted gruesome reveal. Remember we had an eye incident a few months back. Who knows what this company will do at this point? Gillberg vs. Drew McInfart Holy shit. This was one of the worst segments I have seen in quite some time. Not surprising that it involved The Dirt Sheet with Miz and Morrison. Shout out to David Krumholtz! Great to see your crack live on television. I’m sure Vince loved it. The Rest The Hurt Business defeated Riddle and Lucha House Party Before this match, Riddle met the Hurt Business in the back and “Slobby Bobby” (Sigh) “stomped” on Riddle’s foot. He did not. Alexander continued the dissension by not tagging his partner and then almost lost the match. Dorado wiped the floor with Cedric and then the Hurt Business traded tags with him, which he took badly and Benjamin shoved him out of the ring. Riddle finally got tagged in and worked over Benjamin. After some more fighting, Bobby got the win with the Hurt Lock on Metalik. Metalik and Dorado were really good with Shelton. Shelton has some fun moments with luchadors. Riddle attacking Lashley after the match only furthers their feud. I like Cedric’s massive ego, but I don’t want to see them kick him out just yet. Mace defeated Xavier Woods I like Mace’s look out of all the RETRIBUTION group. He had an awesome chokeslam lifting Woods out of the corner and held him up in the air for a good 15 seconds. Woods tried wearing Mace down with elbows and a kick to the face but Ali got Mace to “shut him down” which I’ve said before would work really nicely as a way to get Ali to motivate them. Which worked in this case too, but there was definitely some sort of botch with Mace’s finisher. I really like that they’re using Ali and Kingston’s history on SmackDown from when Ali was supposed to get the big push until he got injured, and KofiMania was born out of it. Ali hoping that Kofi gets to feel the way he felt that time is great. I don’t know how bad Kofi’s jaw injury is but sadly, I don’t see AliMania coming from this RETRIBUTION stuff. AJ Styles defeated Ricochet For some strange reason, AJ Styles has become a gatekeeper for the Royal Rumble. Last week Drew Gulak tried declaring himself for the Rumble as was denied, now this week as multiple people are declaring themselves, Ricochet needs to have a match to see if he can be considered to be in the match. Huh? Omos played a role here catching Ricochet and then dropping him to the floor. Ricochet’s backflip into the German suplex is beautiful. He really can sell like death. I love watching his matches. Styles went for the Phenomenal Forearm and Ricochet countered with the Recoil for a near fall. Ricochet literally bounced into a Styles Clash from the top rope. I absolutely hate that he lost but man that was a great looking spot. Charlotte Flair defeated Peyton Royce Evans walked in with Ric Flair talking about how she’s learning from the dirtiest player in the game. Ew. Charlotte Flair was chopping Royce to smithereens but caught the post and Royce took advantage. DIdn’t work too well though because Flair got the upper hand and was pinning her, and then Papa’s music interrupted the match. Ric brought Evans out in her own purple robe. Royce got a near fall on the distraction. Figure 8 got the win for Charlotte. Yeesh. Just… ugh. Jeff Hardy vs. Jaxson Ryker ends in a DQ Jeff Hardy was done with Elias, but then as commentary stated, he decided to reignite his old rivalry. Uh… why? Whatever. This is stupid. Shayna Baszler defeated Mandy Rose They continued dissension with Jax and Baszler with Nia on commentary. Baszler dominated for most of the match. She targeted Mandy’s left arm throughout the match and twisted the arm in ways I haven’t seen. Kirifuda Clutch got the win. Still a big fan of splitting Jax and Baszler, even though it looks like they may be getting a rematch for the tag titles |
