Overall I’m gonna be honest, I went into this weekend expecting SummerSlam to be solid but was still expecting to enjoy AEW: Dynamite and NXT TakeOver: XXX to beat out WWE’s “Biggest Party of the Summer” in terms of overall enjoyment, even after I watched a disappointing AEW I didn’t expect SummerSlam to beat outContinue reading “Roman Reigns Returns to WWE to Close Out a Stellar SummerSlam!

AEW Fumbles Hard on TNT Title Change. AEW Dynamite Review 8/23/20
Overall Look I’m not gonna sugarcoat it, the main event of AEW’s special Saturday Night Dynamite ruined for me what was an above average episode of AEW’s flagship show. The decision to drop all of Brodie Lee and Cody’s ongoing storylines to move the title totally baffles me. I cannot figure out if this decisionContinue reading “AEW Fumbles Hard on TNT Title Change. AEW Dynamite Review 8/23/20”
Karrion Kross Wins NXT Championship! NXT TakeOver: XXX review!
Overall NXT TakeOver was actually about as good as expected. There is something magically about TakeOver, the way that the NXT roster gives us stellar matches, the way that the stakes are raised more than most PPV or WWE Network special, and TakeOver XXX is no exception to this.

WWE Debuts the Thunderdome! SmackDown Review 8/21/20
Overall Overall last night’s SmackDown was pretty good. While some risks were taken for the most part WWE played it safe in order to work out the kinks in the new Thunderdome virtual fan displays, and other than a handful of small hiccups the system worked really well. Major entrances like that of “The Fiend”Continue reading “WWE Debuts the Thunderdome! SmackDown Review 8/21/20”
All Five Competitors Set for Ladder Match at TakeOver: XXX! NXT Review (8/19/20)
Overall I really liked last night’s NXT! I thought it served as a really good go home show for TakeOver: XXX! All four of the announced matches on the main card got a segment to hype them up.

Shawn Michaels Returns to a Crowded Raw Before SummerSlam. Raw Review 8-17-20
Overall A lot happened on last night’s Raw. In fact so much happened that I commented that I felt like WWE’s typical 3-hour program felt like a 5-hour super episode. Stories criss-crossed and weaved in and out of each other. Retribution showed up at the beginning, Shawn Michaels showed up at the end and IContinue reading “Shawn Michaels Returns to a Crowded Raw Before SummerSlam. Raw Review 8-17-20”
Kalisto Returns to SmackDown! SmackDown Review 8/14/20
Overall SmackDown last night had a lot of good things to talk about.

We also got a lot of really good depth added to the Fiend, Braun Strowman, and AlexaContinue reading “Kalisto Returns to SmackDown! SmackDown Review 8/14/20”
Mike Chioda Makes His AEW Debut AEW: Dynamite Review (8/12/20)
Overall If you read my review of this week’s NXT (and if you haven’t it’s right here) you would know that I felt that there wasn’t a lot of bad stuff in the episode but that the good stuff didn’t really pop either. NXT fell a little flat for me and so did this week’sContinue reading “Mike Chioda Makes His AEW Debut AEW: Dynamite Review (8/12/20)”
Keith Lee Gets Burned by Karrion Kross Ahead of TakeOver NXT Review (8/12/20)
Overall Last night’s NXT had a lot going for it. TakeOver is swiftly approaching and all of the major storylines are getting ready to come to a head.

Randy Orton “Punts” Ric Flair Raw Review (8/10/20)
Overall Raw last night was all over the place pacing wise, but that doesn’t mean that the stories we got were bad.
