Smackdown Live was like Clash of Champions, okay overall. That’s it.  Oh, you wanna know why I feel this way? Okay, well here you go.  The New Day vs The Revival And Randy Orton.  This show started off with a match. A 6 man tag team match in fact which is a nice change of pace. for this show. Wish I could say the same thing about this match. Not that I have a problem with this match but rather it was okay. The match ended with Big E preventing an RKO machine and Kofi delivers the trouble in paradise to win this match but then, out came Brock Lesnar along with Paul Heyman and no, it's not a typo. Heyman said that it's a bad day for the New Day yes it is and was informed that Brock Lesnar challenges Kofi to match for the WWE title on Friday Night SmackDown premiere on FOX. Kofi accepts it and ate an F5 afterwards.  This is no pun intended, big news and Kofi has faced Lesnar before so will the outcome be the same on Friday? Will find out soon. Also, whe...

Other than witnessing the wrestling equivalent of battlefield earth with that gender reveal party, this episode was really, really good and here’s why.  Seth Rollins Talks About His Monstrous Win Last Night.  The universal champion in Seth Rollins started off this week's episode of RAW after he got choked out by the mandible claw the night before this and he recaps his night even mentioning Bray Wyatt's attack on him.  Bray Wyatt showed up via the firefly fun house segment in the titantron and he says that the Fiend never forgets. After that segment was over, the match graphics for this episode was upside down just like my current life situation. A very good segment and I really liked how this segment was executed with the firefly fun house and an in-ring promo at the same time.  The RAW And SmackDown Live Tag Team Champions Encountered A Monster.  The tag team champions from both brands were having a summit until Braun Strowman came out and dest...

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Triple H On "Cancelling" 205 Live? We gonna start this week of The 5 News Week (or the 4 news week because one of the 5 posts in this article is a short predictions post and it has been kind of a slow news week) with a piece of news that had some fans misinformed. I'll tell you why *Simon Miller hits his head*.  There were headlines going around the interwebs that says "205 Live Officially Cancelled" or " Triple H Confirms 205 Live Brand Is Ending" and those headlines were true (September fools!?). No, but in all seriousness, those headlines were faker than Brad Shepard's "sources" and those news stories all grabbed an excerpt from an interview Triple H did with Newsweek about the NXT brand in general and how 20...

The show was overall skippable and all but I wanna give a 10 seconds silence for the death of NXT one hour shows *10 seconds passed* now, on with the review.  Damian Priest vs Boa.  Coming out of his NXT Breakout Tournament loss in the opening round against Jordan Myles, will he get back on track with a W? Of course not. He lost the match with the reckoning from Damian Priest.  We then witnessed a great video package summarizes the NXT North American Championship match next week between Velveteen Dream and Roderick Strong.  Johnny Gargano Addresses His Career Future.  Johnny Gargano came out with a standing ovation from the full sail crowd and he let the "Johnny Wrestling" chants go on for minutes now which was cool to see.  Johnny then got the "Johnny don't go" chants after he tried to tell what's his future in NXT is going to be and went on to show passion about the NXT brand and how it's the best professional wrestling show (he...

This episode was okay. Did things pretty decently (if that's a real word) as well as did things that weren't even good.  *Gong, Gong, Gong, Gong* It's The Gobbledy Gooker.   All bad jokes aside, The Undertaker kicked off this week's episode of Smackdown Live to say that he's been in WWE for 30 plus years (his run in WWE is older than most fans in this community including moi). Sami Zayn came out and he did the cliche of "a heel respects a babyface legend but he/she really doesn't" saying that Undertaker shouldn't open this episode and the future is now and the future is Sami Zayn.  Taker then passed the torch or the microphone in this case but Zayn ate a chokeslam from the Deadman. I would describe this segment as not displeasing so to put it in plain unseasoned English, it's aight.  Shane McMahon had a talk with Chad Gable in McMahon's about who's Gable facing in the King Of The Ring Semi-Finals match given that ...
