WWE Hell in a Cell
(2019)

Fiend vs The Universal Champion Rollins in HELL! It was SHOCKING!
I am first say that you fans that were disappointed with the conclusion of this WWE event can go rip one but you should not punish the entire Hell in a Cell since it was the action was outstanding except for the booking for the main event showing! I think Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch was grand and both women delivered in that Hell in a Cell so well that neither should have loss or both needed to have won! 10/10 Also Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan defeating Erick Rowan AND Luke Harper IN A HELLACIOUS TORNADO TAG MATCH was extremely physical and received good enough time 9/10 Mustafa Ali should have got a quick decisive victory over Randy Orton he deserves it but The Viper dominated that match ending with the famous RKO 7.9/10 Kabuki Warriors finally becoming Women Tag Team Champions over Twisted Bliss(ALEXA AND Nikki Cross) I would just say I was wanting Kairi Sane AND ASUKA to win so much that I did not care that they were using hellish tactics throughout the match mainly Green MIST 8.2/10 Viking Raiders and Braun Strowman should have had a conclusive win against THE OC(AJ STYLES AND GALLOWS/ANDERSON) However it ended in a disqualification in just under 8 minutes 7.7/10 Chad Gable beat King Corbin in around 12 minutes or more just as he needed to for a great singles push I thoroughly enjoyed it and the commentary 8.4/10 Charlotte winning her 10th Woman's Championship at this HELL IN A CELL was surprising and redundant for her career at this point because she's won it so many times now it makes her be disinteresting. As all the company needs is to find other ways for her to be booked without competing for Raw or Smackdown or any other Title. Anyway Bayley loses by Figure Eight and gives a horrible tantrum afterwards. 7.5/10 NEXT THE FIEND Bray Wyatt Survives THE PAIN of all Seth Rollin's attempts at Stomping and Superkicking him and more just for the match to end by the referee's choice to prevent further injury. I must say I dislike this too but it's no different from last year's conclusion of Strowman vs Reigns with Lesnar attacking both men so just because most are upset THE FIEND did not get the Title here What DID YOU EXPECT? For WWE to give THE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP to someone who's been absent all year long until July 2019 being seen only through promos on TV(FireFly FunHouse) and is only over due to this gimmick yet can not perform anywhere close to the way Rollins does and needs attention. Come on As much as I think it would be neat to have The Fiend be champion I knew they had something planned but I DO SEE A Seth Rollins HEEL TURN ARISING SOON! I ALSO THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS Finn Balor HIMSELF OR DEMON WAS GOING TO APPEAR TO GO AGAINST FIEND WYATT! ANYWAY THE MATCH IS 6.5/10 JUST FOR THE SHOWING AND CONCLUSION. IN Any Case this WWE Hell IN A CELL WAS FAIRLY ENJOYABLE AND HAD GOOD ACTION BUT SOME BAD MATCH ENDINGS LIKE THE MAIN EVENT JUST NO NEED TO PUNISH ALL! WWE HIAC PPV 10/10!!

WWE: SummerSlam
(2019)

Nothing 2 Special for Your Time or Money
I knew by looking at the card for SummerSlam 2019 that it was very poor or weak shall I say and just thought maybe the matches were going to deliver something extraordinary. As it turns out I was wrong but right this event was/is totally useless and everything WWE did on the show could have been on any Raw or Smackdown Live. I was truly displeased that I gave myself three and a half hours to watch this crap where not a single match blew me away. Well let's take that back AJ Styles vs Ricochet(whom was dressed sweet) for US Title was great until Ricochet injured himself and AJ took advantage and won. I wanted Ricochet to win but even though he performed well the match ended out of nowhere with Styles Clash. Bayley vs Ember Moon for Smackdown Woman's Title had a smooth flow until it again ended too soon with a Bayley to Belly from the top turnbuckle, Ember did not get to hit the Eclipse which was definitely upsetting. Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon was just lazy if it was a street fight or no dq match more interesting but just a boring performance by two guys that wanted to do the match and finish fast and they did at 10 minutes. Let me say I was not thrilled at all by this repeat feud from fall 2017 until early 2018 and since WWE booked the match Guys and Girls in the locker room Aleister Black Sami Zayn Mustafa Ali Shinsuke Nakumara Drew McIntyre Mandy Rose Asuka and Braun Strowman plus many more did not get on the show. Horrible Terrible!! Anyway Owens keeps his job with Stunner(that I hate he does) Charlotte defeats Trish Stratus by Figure Eight in a superb match that could have been three minutes longer plus there was not a video package for this fight in which shows WWE was rushing through the entire card for the event. Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton surprisingly was amazing until it once again ended unexpected and stupidly. I must say I just was not to big on this match but both men performed good it just should have been Kofi with Trouble in Paradise for the win not a silly double countout. Next we finally see The Fiend Bray Wyatt whom by the way entire entrance was more entertaining than most or all of SummerSlam in Toronto Canada choke out his nemesis Finn Balor in three minutes. I can only say that I am maddened by the fact the company chose to go with Finn Balor whom was undefeated at the last three SS events as the Demon be best by the returning Bray Wyatt it really should have been someone else. Finally Seth Rollins wins back the Universal Title from Brock Lesnar what must I say? He should not have lost it at Extreme Rules to Brock anyway. All the rest of the card to me was dull being the opener Becky/Natalya for Raw Woman's Title should have been a bar fight with submissions as these two are awesome technical wrestlers get what I am saying?! It was not just a quick do this to past by- why start SS like that? Also you knew Goldberg and Dolph Ziggler was going to be over before it began by the predictable. No matter how hard I try to make great this be for the history of SummerSlam the last few years have had spectacular SS ppv cards this one was shocking and all the wrestlers performed as if they in line to take a driving test for it to be over not a single thing rocked me for the show. That is say because so many talents could have been used but they decided to just go with single matches for this which might have been bad if they were something special and not what we seen before!! WWE I believe just has ppvs they choose to be lousy so as to compare to other marvelous ones of the year and past so trust if you missed this you were very fortunate cause you saved your time and mostly your money feel sorry for those that attended this crap in person! Thank God I didn't since I wanted to go to Toronto Canada for the first time! The best match was Trish vs Charlotte but it needed a build and match promo then Kofi vs Randy Orton except the conclusion also AJ Styles vs Ricochet but the wrong winner and needed more time finally just The Fiend's entrance which was better than what we got in the night everything else is a skip because it is cheap!!

WrestleMania 35
(2019)

WELL DONE WRESTLEMANIA 35
I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT WRESTLEMANIA 35 LIVE FROM METLIFE STADIUM IN EAST RUTHERFORD NEW JERSEY FOR MAJORITY LIVED UP TO EXPECTATIONS! I can run over a few pieces great and not so splendid from this event in which I attended( I sat in section 206 but had an issue with being crammed together by two heavy dudes like me so I texted the seating staff whom moved me to section 247 that actually had a chair to sit in not bleachers so better but anyway)

I missed the first half of the Kickoff show matches when they aired(watched afterwards) being the Cruiserweight Championship which Tony Nese used his Running Nese to beat Buddy Murphy for the Cruiserweight title 8.5/10

Carmella(whom I like but don't think needed this win here) won the 2nd WM Women's Battle Royal with a Superkick to Sarah Logan I believed Mandy Rose would have been a better choice for the win since she's been pushed more but still ok 8.1/10

Curt Hawkins with Zach Ryder as his tag partner defeat The REVIVAL for RAW Tag Team Titles in their hometown and to end his Horrible Losing Stream via Rollup. Very Exciting so glad for him to become a Winner! 8.3/10

Braun Strowman decimates the Andre the GIANT Battle Royal and gets his Hands on Michael Che/Colin Jost Nowhere as Great as Last Year's Memorial BR but Decent though one of the least enjoyable showings of the evening other than the squash with Joe/Mysterio and Baron Corbin/Kurt Angle 7.1/10

I liked these things about WM 35: the fact that allowed Brock Lesnar to open the show with Seth Rollins and lose the Universal Championship in under four minutes after doing the initial pre match onslaught with an F 5 but Rollins using a low blow and 3 Curb Stomps was So Sweet- New Champion 7.7/10 for the match but 10 for Title Change

AJ STYLES WINNING IN AN ABOVE AVERAGE BUT STILL COULD HAVE BEEN MILES BETTER MATCH UP WITH HIS PHENOMENAL FOREARM WAS A SHOCKER TOO I SWORE THAT RANDY ORTON WOULD GET THE VICTORY WITH A RKO OUT OF NO WHERE BUT BOTH MEN NEEDED THE WIN! 8.5/10

THE USOS GET THEIR DESERVING WRESTLEMANIA WIN WITH THE DOUBLE UCE IN A FANTASTIC FATAL 4 WAY TAG FOR THE SMACKDOWN TAG TITLES THAT COULD HAVE GONE IN FOR 4 MORE MINUTES AT LEAST BUT STILL GOOD! 8.75/10

SHANE MCMAHON TRIUMPHS OVER MIZ IN A RATHER DISSATISFYING FALLS COUNTY ANYWHERE THAT HAS A MORE UNBELIEVABLE ENDING WITH MIZ SUPLEXES SHANE OUT OF A ELEVATED PLATFORM BUT SHANE LANDS ON TOP OF MIZ AND COVERS HIM WITH HIS ARM AND GETS THE VICTORY! I KNEW SHANE O MAC WAS GOING 2 WIN SINCE HE TURNED HEEL BUT THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE HELP FROM OTHERS BUT THIS MATCH SHOULD HAVE HAD BOTH MEN TRYING TO TEAR EACH OTHER APART BUT IT JUST WAS ONE SIDED FOR THE MIZ! 7.4/10

IICONICS STEALING THE WIN FOR THE FATAL 4 WAY WOMEN'S TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH WAS ONE OF THE MOST ASTONISHING THINGS COMING FROM THIS NIGHT! I EXPECTED SASHA AND BAYLEY TO RETAIN BUT CLOSER TO THE MATCH, FELT THAT NATALYA AND BETH PHOENIX WERE GOING TO SUCCEED- GREAT CONTEST WITH BILLIE PINNING BAYLEY AFTER BETH'S SUPER GRAND SLAM FROM THE TOP TB!! 8.25/10

KOFI KINGSTON FINALLY TRIUMPHS ON THE GRANDEST STAGE IN A MATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE WITH THE NEW DANIEL BRYAN FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP- JUST SO HAPPY AND AMAZED THAT HARD WORK FROM ALL THE YEARS COMES THROUGH 10/10

Samoa Joe beats Rey Mysterio in a minute with the Coquina Clutch- DEPLORABLE on all parts! Rey deserves more for his WM in years but nice win for S Joe! 3/10

ROMAN REIGNS BEATS DREW MCINTYRE IN A 10 MINUTE MATCH THAT REQUIRED MORE TIME TO BE GLEEFUL NEVERTHELESS A HUGE SPEAR PUTS THE SCOTTISH PSYCHOPATH AWAY AFTER A BRUTAL CLASH BY DREW( HE COULD AND SHOULD HAVE PREVAILED OVER ROMAN WHO DID NOT NEED IT BUT AFTER LEUKEMIA, WE KNEW MOST LIKELY HE WOULD) 7.6/10

TRIPLE H AFTER A LONG AWAITED TIME GETS THE PIN ON HIS FORMER EVOLUTION MEMBER/TURNED RIVAL BATISTA( I HONESTLY DID NOT CARE FOR THIS MATCH AT FIRST AND DESPITE IT BEING ABOUT 25 MINUTES TOO LONG- IT WAS BRUTAL BUT FAIRLY WATCHABLE- I HAD MY DOUBTS BECAUSE OF BOTH MEN'S AGE AT 50 AND LAST PERFORMANCES) I ALSO SIDED MORE WITH BATISTA IN THIS MATCH SINCE TRIPLE H WAS RESORTING TO HEELISH ACTS SUCH AS USING PLIERS TO TWIST AND STEP ON THE ANIMAL'S HAND AND EVEN THE WORST THE REMOVAL OF HIS NOSE RING WITH A SHARP OBJECT- COME ON HHH U ACTED LIKE THAT IN YOUR CLASH IN 05 IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVERSED WITH BATISTA DOING THAT TO U- ENOUGH SAID THOUGH TRIPLE H WITH RIC FLAIR SLEDGE HAMMER AND A PEDIGREE WITH THE WIN! 8.4/10

BARON CORBIN RETIRES KURT ANGLE WITH THE END OF DAYS- JUST SAD BUT ANGLE'S STAMINA IN RING HAS WORN SO IT IS THE RIGHT CALL FOLKS! 5/10

DEMON FINN BALOR BECOMES A TWO TIME INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION AFTER THE COUP DE GRACE ON BOBBY LASHLEY IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES 7.5/10

FINALLY THE WOMEN'S HISTORIC MAIN EVENT FOR THE RAW/SMACKDOWN WOMAN'S CHAMPIONSHIP THAT SAW BECKY LYNCH TRIUMPH OVER RONDA ROUSEY AND CHARLOTTE IN ABOUT 21 MINUTES- I BELIEVED IT COULD HAVE GONE IN 5 MINUTES LONGER PLUS THE ENDING WAS DISAPPOINTING BUT IF IT SETS UP FOR THE FUTURE IT IS NOT THE WORST I HAVE SEEN JUST WANTED A VICTORY WITH THE DIS ARM HER BUT WE GOT THE FIGURE EIGHT AND TWO DOUBLE ARM BARS PLUS TONS OF BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN ALL THREE SADLY ONE COULD WIN AND THAT WAS THE RIGHT ONE BECKY LYNCH- NEW 3 SMACKDOWN AND NOW 1 RAW WOMANS CHAMPION 9.3/10

I WISH THE MATCH ORDER COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BETTER PLUS SOME OF THE MATCHES SHOULD HAVE HAD BEEN LONGER IN ABOUT 3-7 MINUTES BUT STILL VERY GOOD SHOWING OF WRESTLEMANIA 35 DESPITE BOTCHES IN AND OUT OF THE RING PLUS ANY ONE WHO ATTENDED KNOWS ABOUT THE AFTER EVENT STADIUM CHAOS WITH TRANSPORTATION THAT WENT NO WHERE FOR HOURS JUST TERRIBLE -WAYS TO MAKE U THINK ABOUT NOT GOING TO ANY WWE EVENT - NEVER HAS THAT HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE AN HOPE NOT AGAIN! BUT WELL DONE WRESTLEMANIA 35 IT BEATS 30, 25, 15 BUT NOT 20!!

NXT TakeOver: New York
(2019)

NXT TAKEOVER: New York Had Tremendous Feeling!
I found this NXT TAKEOVER New York to be billion years better than Phoenix in that it provided matches that showed that the competitors truly had desire to put everything on the line i.e. their body to prove they were superior and they did! THE NXT TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH BETWEEN THE WAR RAIDERS AND ALEISTER BLACK/RICOCHET WAS AMAZING WAY TO BEGIN THE EVENT! AND ENDED WITH HANSON/ROWE DOING THEIR TAG FINISHER ON RICOCHET. WALTER DEFEATING LONG TIME NXT UK CHAMPION PETE DUNNE IN A HELLACIOUS FIGHT! JUST BRUTAL! Velveteen Dream surprising me with a huge upset over former UFC Matt Riddle for his NXT North American Title!! Dissatisfying that Shayna Baszler retained her NXT Woman's Title in the Fatal 4 way against Io Shirai, Kairi Sane and Bianca Belair- I loved that match great and fast action with each woman giving her all though Shayna winning felt undeserving and just like too much she has dominated NXT for far too long like Tomasso Ciampa! Speaking of the former NXT Champion his longtime friend/rival Johnny Gargano competed with Adam Cole in a 2 out of 3 falls match for the Championship that saw Johnny Wrestling Finally winning it. I was awe inspired by his performance, his win was long overdue and truly deserving for his quality of match showings of 2018 and previous. I believed at several points near the end of the fall that Adam Cole would win the title good thing he did not since Undisputed Era was assisting him. The Rightful Man which captivated me with giving this NXT Takeover New York event with a solid 10 no matter what little did not happen! Thanks for tuning in!!

WWE Royal Rumble
(2019)

GREATER THAN NXT TAKEOVER PHOENIX AND THE ACTION WAS EXHILARATING AT THE RUMBLE IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN!
I Would like to state that I can understand the dissatisfaction with wanting huge superstar names in this year's Rumble match for the women and men's. However do you realize that those stars such as Lita, Trish Stratus or even perhaps Sable and for the men's: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Batista or The Rock would debase the current man and woman's roster whom are underutilized and not pushed at all even more. So just maybe it was a good call to not have any shocking or surprise entrants to the Rumble matches that have not been seen in a while or with the main team. I must say that the Royal Rumble was very much enjoyable and despite a couple of booking decisions with the order of matchups to the conclusion I believe this is in the top five to ten of the Rumble events.

Matches I loved: Asuka vs Becky Lynch Smackdown Woman's Championship and the Woman's Royal Rumble Match( Maryse and Melina and Victoria should have been in it) and even though it was short Brock Lesnar vs Finn Balor WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND ON THE KICKOFF THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP WITH BUDDY MURPHY, AKIRA TOZAWA, HIDEO ITAMI AND KALISTO

Matches that were great and surprised even if not thoroughly interested or booked wrongly: The BAR VS Shane McMahon and The Miz WWE Smackdown Tag Team Titles #1 Was very stunned at how great the four put on an excellent contest Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks #2 Great fight just was concerned at how it was going 2 go but Sasha did her best and Ronda wins for the first time with her signature Piper's Pit not her famous finisher The Arm-breaker

Matches that were disappointing(botches or a bad start/middle or end or boring) or maybe at fair: #1THE NEW DANIEL BRYAN VS THE PHENOMENAL AJ STYLES WHY DO THIS TO AJ STYLES OR EVEN HAVE THE MATCH? THESE TWO HAVE FOUGHT FOR THE FOURTH TIME FOR THE TITLE IN FOUR MONTHS SO IT DID NO FAVORS TO HAVE THIS ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WOMEN'S RUMBLE TO BORE THE CROWD-THEY DID, IT WAS SO DEAD YOU COULD HEAR THE NEXT GUY WIPE HIS OR HER EYES(TEARS) I ALSO BELIEVE IT WAS ENTIRELY TOO LONG SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER IN 12 MINUTES INSTEAD IT LASTED SLIGHTLY OVER 25 MINUTES JUST FOR AJ TO LOSE TO DANIEL WITH HELP FROM A RETURNING ERICK ROWAN- THE MATCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN WITH MUSTAFA ALI CHALLENGING DB ANYWAY HE PINNED THE CHAMP IN A TAG TEAM MATCH #2 The Men's Rumble Match: Even though they somewhat attempted the actual Men's Rumble match fell short of outstanding a quite bit there were no huge surprise appearances but I was not to devastated by that it was the order of entrants, the order of eliminations and who the superstars were eliminated by and the horrible booking for Drew Mcintyre and Braun Strowman both deserve more and preferably should have won. I am not to enthused by the suspected ME OF WRESTLEMANIA 35 BEING BROCK LESNAR VS SETH ROLLINS FOR WWE UNIVERSAL TITLE- WE HAVE SEEN THESE 2 COMPETE BEFORE AND I JUST DONT THINK IT IS WORTHY OF WM MATERIAL PLEASE GIVE IT TO STROWMAN AND MCINTYRE AND LET SETH CHOOSE DANIEL BRYAN OR AJ STYLES , IF HE CAN WIN BACK HIS TITLE PLEASE! The Men's match had a bit of entertaining offense but it still just either started and then died and picked up and then died again and got momentum because of anticipation to number 30 and died for the Final Time

Matches that completely sucked and had terrible or unexpected outcomes: Kickoff show matches: Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs Rezar and Scott Dawson WWE Raw Tag Titles Break Time or Wait I didn't even know this match was going to happen because it was impromptu and just sucked Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakumara WWE United States Championship Lana should not have got on the apron to begin with- what did she think Shinsuke was going to do to her? and because of her stupidity we saw a quick US Title change in a match that was lackluster and boring. Poor Rusev it took him forever to get a belt back and he lost it in a month time now he might turn on his wife Lana soon!

WWE Royal Rumble 2019 could have been marvelous and I did enjoy it for the most part even though I believe a lot of calls should have been different but I liked my view in attendance in Section 220 Live at Chase Field

WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs
(2018)

NICE WAY 2 END THE YEAR WITH A MUCH BETTER PPV THAN MOST OF 2018 I SINCERELY ENJOYED IT FOR THE MOST PART!
TLC 2018 WAS VERY ENJOYABLE ON MY PART I SAT AND WATCHED IT LIVE AT SAP CENTER IN LOW LEVEL SECTION 115 EVEN THOUGH SOME THINGS THAT WERE PRESENTED WERE PURELY FLAWED SUCH AS: 1. HAVING THE OPENER WITH MIXED MATCH CHALLENGE DONE AND OVER IN FIVE MINUTES THOUGH I LOVED THAT CARMELLA USED CODE OF SILENCE 2 WIN WHICH SHE RARELY DOES NOWADAYS. 2. THE BAR DEF THE NEW DAY AND USOS IN TWELVE MINUTES IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST 17 MINUTES PLUS A DIFFERENT WINNER. 3.BRAUN STROWMAN DEF BARON CORBIN WELL WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THIS- BRAUN SHOULD HAVE DONE A ONE HANDED CHOKESLAM OR POWERSLAM TO CORBIN BEING THAT HE JUST COVERED HIM AFTER ALL HIS COHORTS THAT DID NOT LIKE BARON HIT HIM WITH CHAIRS AND THEIR FINISHERS.(THAT MADE BRAUN LOOK EVEN WEAKER THOUGH I KNOW HE HAD AN INJURY BUT IT'S GOOD BC IS NO LONGER IN CONTROL OF RAW) 4.NATAYLA WINNING WAS GREAT SINCE IT WAS HER SOLE ONE ON ONE VICTORY AT PPV THIS YEAR BUT THE TABLES MATCH WAS TOO LONG SHOULD HAVE BEEN 7 TO 9 MINUTES NOT 13 MINUTES. 5. DREW MCINTYRE DOMINATING MOST OF HIS FIGHT WITH FINN BALOR ONLY TO LOSE TO HIM DUE TO DOLPH ZIGGLER GETTING INVOLVED WAS TRULY STUNNING AND A TERRIBLE CALL EVEN THOUGH I LIKE BALOR(HE DID NEED A WIN AT PPV FOR 2018 BY THE WAY) I BELIEVE THAT DREW MCINTYRE IS THE MAN HE HAD THIS ENTIRE MATCH AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE VICTOR WITH A CLAYMORE KICK. 6. RANDY ORTON LOSING TO REY MYSTERIO IN A CHAIRS MATCH WAS ANOTHER SHOCKER MUCH LIKE DREW AND FINN'S MATCH SINCE I KNEW ORTON WAS GONNA PUNISH REY IN THAT HE DID BUT MYSTERIO GOT A HURRICANA ROLLUP AND WON JUST LIKE CROWN JEWEL- THE MATCH NEEDED TO HAVE LASTED THREE TO FOUR MINUTES MORE. 7. RONDA ROUSEY RETAINING HER RAW WOMAN'S CHAMPIONSHIP IN A LONG ANTICIPATED REMATCH FROM MITB 2018 THAT ATTEMPTED TO EXCEL OVER THE INITIAL ENCOUNTER BUT IT DID NOT I STILL FAVOR THAT FIGHT AS RONDA'S BEST SINGLES MATCH SO FAR HOWEVER I WAS DISSATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME BEING THAT I WANTED NIA TO WIN GIVING A CHANCE FOR SO MANY SELECT MATCHES WITH OTHERS AND NOT KAYFABE TELLING WITH RR STAYING UNDEFEATED THE MATCH ALSO WAS A BIT SHORT(NEEDED 3 MORE MINUTES) AS RONDA WINS WITH THE ARM-BREAKER. 8. THE NEW DANIEL BRYAN WINS OVER AJ STYLES WAS A FANTASTIC ENCOUNTER AN A SLICK ENDING WITH A REVERSE ROLLUP IN 24 MINUTES- BEST MATCH OF THE EVENT 9. SETH ROLLINS RELINQUISHES HIS IC BELT TO DEAN AMBROSE AFTER HE GOT 2 EMOTIONAL IN THEIR MATCH AN SUFFERED A DIRTY DEEDS DDT- GOOD MATCH EVEN THOUGH THE CROWD WAS NOT INTO IT. 10. ASUKA FINALLY WINS THE SMACKDOWN WOMAN'S CHAMPIONSHIP IN A VERY NEEDED VICTORY AS SHE ENDS THE YEAR NOT SO STRONG AS SHE STARTED 2018 BUT AT LEAST A TITLE. I EXPECTED A LOT MORE WITH THIS MATCH THOUGH AS ASUKA REALLY DID NOTHING TO EYE DROPPING AND CHARLOTTE AND BECKY BOTH DID REPEATS OF THEIR EVOLUTION BRAWL. BECKY LEGDROPPED CHARLOTTE THROUGH ANNOUNCE TABLE JUST LIKE EVOLUTION AND CHARLOTTE DID A SENTON TO BECKY THROUGH A WOODEN TABLE. SO I WAS DISCONTENT WITH THIS MATCH AS I SEE THEY WERE LAZY AND PROBABLY INJURY INTIMATED BUT WHY HAVE THE TLC MATCH THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. REGARDLESS OF IT OR NOT TLC 2018 WAS A MARVELOUS EVENT THAT I APPRECIATED BUT HAD IT'S NOT SO GOOD MOMENTS LIKE WWE THESE DAYS. BUT THIS PPV DEFEATS A LOT OF THEM OF 2018 ONLY ROYAL RUMBLE FOR SURE AND MAYBE WRESTLEMANIA MONEY IN THE BANK HELL IN A CELL 2018 ARE BETTER. IT DEFINITELY BEATS SURVIVOR SERIES AND SUMMERSLAM OF THIS YEAR BUT HOPEFULLY IMPROVES WELL IN 2019 WITH PPV EVENTS!!

WWE Crown Jewel
(2018)

WWE DOES IT RIGHT WITH THE MEANING ONCE IS NEVER ENOUGH!
I HAD ANOTHER REVIEW I SPENT ONE HOUR AND A HALF PREPARING THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED ON HERE DUE TO PROFANITY AND SUGGESTIVE LANGUAGE SO I AM NOT TYPING ANOTHER LONG DRAWN OUT ONE. I SAY JUST WHAT MY TITLE SAYS ABOUT THIS CROWN JEWEL EVENT THAT I WATCHED FIVE HOURS STRAIGHT WITH THE PRE-SHOW. I AM TRULY DEVASTATED BY THIS FAILURE OF THE YEAR THAT IS JUST SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN BACKLASH 2018 SINCE IT HAD A GREAT CARD BUT NO SURPRISES, NO OUTSTANDING WRESTLING MATCHES OR GOOD PROMOS/SEGMENTS BESIDES HULK HOGAN(STILL NOT PLEASED) FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MISSED IT YOU ARE VERY FORTUNATE BECAUSE I BELIEVE EVERY ONE IN ATTENDANCE AND THOSE WHOM WATCHED AT HOME WANT HIS OR HER MONEY BACK AND TIME. I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO STATE ALL THE MISHAPS AND CALAMITIES THAT OCCURED AT THIS SHOWING BUT HERE IS A RUNDOWN: REY MYSTERIO/ RANDY ORTON MATCH WAS DECENT UNTIL IT WAS CUT SHORT FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT ONE WITH JEFF HARDY/THE MIZ SAME THING AND SETH ROLLINS BOBBY LASHLEY BOREFEST WORST SETH HAS LOOKED THIS YEAR DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND KURT ANGLE DOLPH ZIGGLER NOTHING REALLY SPECIAL JUST A HURRY UP TO GET THIS OVER WITH THE BAR AND THE NEW DAY TRIED TO DO THEIR BEST BUT DID NOT GET A CHANCE AND HAVE HAD BETTER MATCHES REY MYSTERIO BEATS THE MIZ IN THE BEST CONTEST OF THE NIGHT IN MY OPINION JUST NEEDED MORE TIME AND WAS MORE ENJOYABLE THAN DOLPH ZIGGLER DEFEATING SETH ROLLLINS THANKS TO MCINTYRE AGAIN- REAL HUGE MISTAKE SETH SHOULD HAVE WON SINCE DOLPH ALWAYS NEED HELP FROM HIS GUY TO WIN AND I THOUGHT ROLLINS WOULD ADVANCE TO THE FINALS TO FACE THE MIZ SO DEAN AMBROSE WHOM WAS THERE IN SAUDI ARABIA COULD COST HIM THE World Cup to add to The Shield Breakup Story but the IDIOTS THAT WRITE FOR WWE DID NOT DO THAT! AJ STYLES GOES OVER SAMOA JOE FOR THE WWE TITLE FOR THE BILLIONTH BUT 4TH TIME IN 4 MONTH TIME PERIOD AND THE RESULT THE SAME IN THEIR WORST ENCOUNTER YET! SAMOA JOE IS MADE TO LOOK LIKE A LOSER AND OFFICIALLY BURIED! SPEAKING OF THAT NEXT UP BRAUN STROWMAN BEAT DOWN AND LOSS TO THE BEAST MAN WITH FIVE F5S EVEN I WAS UP ON MY FEET IN FURY FOR THIS CALL LESNAR IS ALL ABOUT UFC AND NOT WANTING TO BE ON RAW WEEKLY BUT THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO BE PUT OVER BY MONSTER AMONG MEN HE COULD NOT DO THAT(BARON CORBIN NEEDS HIS SELF EXTREMELY HURT AND GONE AWAY 2 FOR HIS PART) BUT HOW COULD WWE DO THIS TO A MAN THAT HAS A MONSTROUS YEAR WITH BEING OVER WITH THE CROWD JUST TO GO TO A GUY NO ONE CARES TO SEE NOW BECAUSE HE ONLY THERE FOR BIG MATCHES AND HIS CHECK! I AM SERIOUSLY DONE WITH WWE AFTER WM 35 BECAUSE IT IS 2 PREDICTABLE REDUNDANT AND DULL PLUS THE WRITERS ARE TERRIBLE WITH BOOKING! NEXT SHANE WINS THE World Cup AFTER I THOUGHT THE MIZ WAS LEGITIMATELY HURT AFTER HE CAME OUT THE APRON BUT IT WAS AN ACT FOR SHANE TO BECOME A HEEL IN THE FUTURE! I HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE I DID NOT CARE ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT OR World Cup BUT I WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING DIFFERENT! FINALLY DX VANQUISHES THE BROTHERS OF DESTRUCTION WITH SO MANY BLOOPERS AND MISHAPS GOING ON IN THIS MATCH IT IS PURE COMEDY SUCH AS SHAWN MICHAELS BALD HEAD, KANE MASK FALLING OFF AFTER MICHAELS PUNCHED HIM, THE UNDERTAKER AND TRIPLE H IRISH WHIP TANGLE UP(AWFUL) SHAWN GETTING BLOODIED AND FALLING ON HIS HEAD WITH THAT MOON SAULT AND TRIPLE H HURTING HIS PECTORAL MUSCLES AFTER KANE CHOKE SLAM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE. I JUST LMFAO AT THIS SINCE THIS IS WHAT WWE IS ALL ABOUT NOW BUT THE MAIN EVENT WAS EASILY THE MATCH OF THE NIGHT DUE TO TIME AND MOVES DONE EVEN IF IT IS NOT A WRESTLING CLASSIC BUT A BRAWL WITH ERRORS. I AM STILL GIVING THIS CROWL JEWEL EVENT A RATING OF 3 OUT OF 10 BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SO MANY GREATER ONES THAT DESERVE HIGH RATE BY THE WAY OF THIS CRAP BORE SHORT MATCH FEST EVEN THE ANNOUNCERS/OFFICIALS AND AUDIENCE SHOWED NO EMOTION SINCE THEY KNEW SO SAVE YOURSELF AND SO SHOULD WWE WITH THE IDIOM ABOVE DO IT ONCE AND NEVER AGAIN!(GREATEST ROYAL RUMBLE- THAT'S IT -NO MORE)

WWE Evolution
(2018)

Slightly Above Average FIRST EVER WOMEN'S PPV- EVOLUTION
I watched this event EVOLUTION in it's entirety from beginning to end on the WWE Network. I will say even though there were not to many surprises in terms of things that could and did happen, for what was done, it was a bit higher than average. I will state the matches in my forms of interest and rating in the chronological order they were shown. I will say what I did not like and loved about each contest. Up First: 1. Trish Stratus and Lita def Alicia Fox and Mickie James(with Alexa Bliss) in about 11 minutes- The match was splendid in showing how Trish and Lita have not lost to much ring skill and both were dressed well as Alicia, Mickie and Alexa. I loved the Stratusfaction and Double Litasault towards the end of the match. However I believe that the mistakes were: having the match end a bit early should have been 3 or 4 minutes more, not making this a handicap match with Alexa( Alicia and Mickie could have done most of the work and the Goddess like always does sneak moves but in the end got hers), Foxy missing the pin breakup which was clearly a three count-very awful, Mickie not being able to hit her Mick Kick or DDT on Lita or Trish, How does Trish being doing Leaping Hair Snapmare Takedowns like Carmella and Alexa not being taken out by Trish or Lita at the end rather than just watching and doing nothing totally unlike her. But other than that the match was lovely just had to reveal the awful planning by WWE. Match rating: 9.3/10

2. Evolution Women's Battle Royal for Future WWE Women's Championship Match Contestants( Naomi, Michelle McCool, Sonya Deville, Alundra Blayze, Carmella, Zelina Vega, Kelly Kelly, Tamina, Ember Moon, Lana, Maria Kannellis, Mandy Rose, Molly Holly, Dana Brooke, Nia Jax, Ivory, Asuka, Torrie Wilson, Peyton Royce and Billie Kay- Just Spectacular in about 15 minutes I can say that this is better than the Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royal by a few feet and it is actually one of the best Battle Royals including women I have seen given the time. I happy for Nia Jax that she won since this was supposed to be her year from winning the Raw Women's Championship back at Wrestlemania and had lost her footing following Money in the BANK. On the other hand, I thought Ember Moon should have won as well since she has not been booked to win big ever since coming to the main roster and we know Asuka's horrible fall from grace and Tamina's never winning curse but either one could have won this match as well. I knew the silly Illconics were going out first since they came out an criticized the women from the past of WWE, but one thing that really got me irritated by the match was having the Great Molly Holly eliminated within 2 minutes of the start- come on WWE even if this was her idea because she did not want to stay in long she should have been in for 6 to 7 minutes at least( the match will be forever viewed) Other than that I loved it! Match Rating: 9/10

3. TONI STORM DEF IO SHIRAI FOR THE MAE YOUNG CLASSIC FINALS(TROPHY) IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES- DECENT BUT NEEDED MORE OFFENSE AND TIME I liked Toni Storm for the name and her intro/entrance and personality shown to be in similarities with former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro except she is from US and Toni is from UK but I was pulling for Toni at first though halfway through Io Shirai showed unbelievable offense with her moonsault to the outside so I thought maybe she should win. But Toni would come back with a German suplex on the apron, then a Tiger Bomb which did not put Io away. Storm seemed frustrated and Shirai mounted more moves but went for her finisher which Toni Storm got her knees up and planted her second Tiger Bomb for the win. Compared to the other matches for the night definitely the weakest due to it being short/offense. Match Rating: 8.0/10

4. Sasha Banks, Natalya and Bayley def THE RIOTT SQUAD(Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan) in about 13 minutes- Wow for the Riott Squad they were Robbed of a Victory( definitely Sarah and Liv's best match I have seen offensive wise since debuting on main roster but not Ruby's) I was not to keen on this match since I thought every Riott member should just have been placed in the Women's Battle Royal an something could have done better with Sasha, Bailey and Natalya but they were skilled and game in this match. I thought at several times with the offense on Bayley Natalya and Sasha that they were going to win with double team combos. However since this was Evolution(first Women's PPV) I knew there was no way WWE was going to let three women with nearly 10 championship reigns(including NXT) lose to a lesser trio that is still climbing. Also No really bad botches from the women except Sasha's hanging on the ropes but sometimes it helps make the match not looked so constructed and you really cannot tell at times for you fault finders. Match Rating: 8.4/10 since it was better than I hoped via the Riott Squad but no Bank Statement

5. Shayna Baszler def Kairi Sane for NXT Women's Championship by Technical Submission in about 12 minutes- Fierce from Shayna to Kairi as we knew that from seeing Baszler's previous encounters with fellow superstars. I believe SHAYNA used some effective strategy against princess pirate whom fought very hard despite the attacks to her arm/ shoulder. I liked the match with the exception of Kairi Sane not being able to hit her Insane Elbow on Bazler. Also I knew that Shayna's friends at ringside were going to get involved in the match that was unnecessary as the Queen of Spades dominated most of the contest and it would have been nice to see if THE PIRATE PRINCESS could have retained the NXT W Title here. Even so it was great having a title change at this event(though I did not think it was happening with this one) Still enjoyable and I feel bad for Kairi Sane passing out to the Kirifuda Clutch from Shayna Baszler to win the NXT Women's Championship Match Rating: 8.6/10

6. BECKY LYNCH(STRAIGHT FIRE) DEF CHARLOTTE(THE QUEEN) FOR THE SMACKDOWN WOMAN'S CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE BILLED AS FIRST EVER LAST WOMAN'S STANDING MATCH(BUT REALLY SECOND TO ASUKA VERSUS NIKKI CROSS IN JUNE 2017) IN ABOUT 28 MINUTES 40 SECONDS IT WAS AN OUTSTANDING CONTEST BETWEEN TWO FORMER BEST FRIENDS TURNED BITTER ENEMIES IN WHAT RIGHTFULLY SO SHOULD HAVE MAIN EVENTED EVOLUTION DUE TO THE STORY TOLD(BUILD) AND BOTH STARS CHARISMA AND THE INTRIGUE FROM THE WWE UNIVERSE. I LOVED WATCHING EVERY BIT OF THIS MATCH WHICH KEEP YOU GLUED TO THE SCREEN AWAITING EAGERLY FOR THE RESOLUTION TO SEE WHO WILL WIN THIS MATCH TO BE CHAMPION. I BELIEVED EVERYTHING WAS NEARLY CORRECT WITH THE MOVES AND WEAPONS THAT WERE USED IN THIS LAST WOMAN STANDING MATCHUP. I JUST DID NOT LIKE THAT BECKY LYNCH DID NOT DO THE DIS ARM HER ON CHARLOTTE NOR WORK HEAVILY ON THE QUEEN'S ARM OR DO TOO MUCH ONSLAUGHT TO HER LEG(IN WHICH SHE SHOULD HAVE SINCE BECKY IS BEING PORTRAYED AS MORE THE VILLIAN DESPITE THE AUDIENCE CHEERING FOR HER BEING THAT THEY ARE TIRED OF CHARLOTTE- BUT BOTH HAVE VALID POINTS BECKY HAS TO BEAT THE BEST TO BE CALLED THE BEST AND WHY SHOULD CHARLOTTE YIELD TO ALLOW THAT WHEN WE KNOW SHE IS EXCEPTIONALLY UP IN THE NUMBER ONE SPOTS)BECKY LYNCH USED KENDO STICK HITS ON CHARLOTTE AT FIRST AND BOTH EXHANGED CHAIR SHOTS AND USAGES BY IT. I LOVED CHARLOTTE SENTON SPLASH TO BECKY THROUGH THE TABLE SHE TRIED TO MOONSAULT BUT IT DID NOT BREAK(IT WAS NOT A BAD BOTCH- ONE THAT IS NOT NOTICED TOO WELL) ALSO FLAIR'S FIGURE EIGHT WITH THE LADDER ON LYNCH, NUMEROUS CHOPS BY CHARLOTTE WHEN BECKY ESCAPED TO THE CROWD. BECKY LYNCH'S HIGHLIGHT WAS THE LEG DROP FROM THE LADDER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS OVER FOR THE NATURE GIRL BUT IT WAS NOT AFTER THE CHAMP TRIES TO BURY HER WITH OBJECTS BUT THE 7 TIME WOMAN'S CHAMP GETS UP WITH A LOOK OF EXTREME RAGE THAT SCARES THE HELL OUT OF LYNCH. WE THOUGHT RIGHT THERE THAT CHARLOTTE WAS GOING TO WIN WITH A RECORD BREAKING OF TRISH STRATUS 8 TITLE WINS BUT EVEN AFTER BEING BEATEN WITH A KENDO STICK AND SPEARED BY THE QUEEN THEN PLACED ON A TABLE. STRAIGHT FIRE RISES TO THE APRON AND POWERBOMBS CHARLOTTE FLAIR THROUGH THE TABLE AND THE QUEEN IS UNABLE TO REGAIN HER STANDING OR TITLE. BECKY WINS A MUCH NEEDED ONE TO PROVE THAT SHE IS A TRUE CHAMPION AND CAN COMPETE IN HELLACIOUS MATCHES LIKE THESE- IT'S HARD TO COMPARE THIS TO SASHA/CHARLOTTE BUT ONE PURE EXCITEMENT. I JUST HATE THAT THE ENDING SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEXPLODER THROUGH THE TABLE VIA THE LADDER- MUCH BETTER THIS IS A FOLOWING OF ALEXA/BECKY TLC 2016! MATCH RATING:9.9/10 FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF BOTH WOMEN

7. Ronda Rousey def Nikki Bella with Brie Bella for the Raw Women's Championship in about 14 minutes- Impressive showing from the FEARLESS NIKKI BELLA who wanted to waste claim to the term DIVA as she has been called by RONDA ROUSEY and win the RAW W TITLE but she was denied by the BADDEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET. I got to say I love NIKKI BELLA she was really vindictive in this match as well Brie and I really wanted her to win since it would open the chances for other women on the Raw roster to compete for the championship without knowing that she would lose because the titleholder is undefeated like ASUKA was for the last few years, CHARLOTTE PPV winning streak and even Undertaker's Wrestlemania winning streak from 2014 and on. However I knew there was no way Ronda was going to lose to someone who has not been champion in three years plus and that is not aggressive in hand to hand combat as her being Bella. Let me say that I have came to accept and adore Nikki Bella ever since 2014 I did not hold anything to her being John Cena's girlfriend(now ex) I see she is a beautiful woman that deserves to explore herself in the ring and out because she had improved significantly in terms of wrestling which is why she has beaten the likes of Charlotte, Sasha, Becky, Naomi, Paige, AJ Lee, and even Beth Phoenix plus many more. I think that Rousey has been rushed to the main event scene to quick but OK MATCH 8.5/10
