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. Last night saw the beginning ofContinue reading “Karrion Kross Wins NXT Championship! NXT TakeOver: XXX review!”
Kalisto Returns to SmackDown! SmackDown Review 8/14/20
Overall SmackDown last night had a lot of good things to talk about. Kalisto made his long awaited return to WWE television giving reuniting Lucha House Party for the first time since at least December of last year. 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. Keith Lee and Karrion Kross continued to heat up, quite literally, as Kross was able to attack Lee with a contract rigged to shoot a fireball atContinue reading “Keith Lee Gets Burned by Karrion Kross Ahead of TakeOver NXT Review (8/12/20)”
Retribution Takes a Chainsaw to the Ring Ropes! SmackDown Review (8/7/20)
Overall Last night’s SmackDown told a lot of stories but lacked in satisfying finishes. Shorty G, Sheamus, and Matt Riddle all intruded on other matches which set up a feud between King Corbin and Sheamus which will run along side the existing feud between Corbin and Riddle. Speaking of less than satisfying finishes. Retribution broughtContinue reading “Retribution Takes a Chainsaw to the Ring Ropes! SmackDown Review (8/7/20)”
The Fiend Attacks Alexa Bliss to Send a Message to Braun Strowman
Overall Last night’s episode of SmackDown was actually the most enjoyable episode in about a month. There was a solid balance of storytelling and solid wrestling, as well as a really good pace to the show. We saw some feuds that hadn’t any progression for a couple of weeks as well as the wrap upContinue reading “The Fiend Attacks Alexa Bliss to Send a Message to Braun Strowman”
Dexter Lumis Sets His Unnerving Gaze on The NXT North American Title. NXT Review 7/29/20
Overall NXT had a fantastic show this week! I was a fan of nearly every match we saw and was captivated by some of the better match ups this week. The North American Championship series continues to be one of the better ongoing programs in wrestling currently with Dexter Lumis, Finn Balor, and Timothy ThatcherContinue reading “Dexter Lumis Sets His Unnerving Gaze on The NXT North American Title.

Sheamus and Jeff Hardy’s Bland Bar Fight. SmackDown Review (7/24/20)
Overall SmackDown had a pretty standard show this week. Matt Riddle and King Corbin are set up for a solid little feud, and this king’s ransom idea actually sounds promising. Nikki Cross is getting her rematch against Bayley next week after a fairly average match with tag-team partner, Alexa Bliss. The first hour and aContinue reading “Sheamus and Jeff Hardy’s Bland Bar Fight. SmackDown Review (7/24/20)”
