WWE Smackdown Review 3/29/13

Note: This is starting to be a weird time of year for WWE. This is Wrestlemania season for the WWE but it feels weird because the main events are taken up by guys who are only in the picture because Vince is scared to trust his full time wrestlers. This is going to be an interesting show because we will see some of the part time players get more attention than the people that are in the roster full time. So with that said, here is WWE Smackdown.........

Opening Segment: The Rock kicks off SmackDown and gets a massive pop from the crowd. Rock tells a story about Hershey from when he was younger and cuts a promo on John Cena. He's interrupted by John Laurinaitis. Rock asks who the hell Laurinaitis is. Laurinaitis says Teddy Long gave him permission to come out. Laurinaitis says John Cena is the reason he was fired and he wants to be in Rock's corner at WrestleMania. Rock says we'll let the people decide and they boo. Rock says he and Laurinaitis should send Cena a message together but they need a handshake first. Rock lays Laurinaitis out with a spinebuster and a People's Elbow. Rock pulls a giant Hershey bar from under the ring, signs it and gives it to kids in the crowd.
(My friend Zak Fellow was happy to see his idol come back to make an appearance. I was happy to see Big Johnny back because he was enjoyable to see. As for The Rock, well he is not promoting Wrestlemania but he is promoting GI Joe 2. This was a classic to see but this is one reason why WWE or Vince is scared to admit that he is stuck in the past.)

Match#1: Chris Jericho vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Chris Jericho
(I feel so fucking bad for Y2J because it is bullshit that he is in a jobber match with Fandango. I really think Y2J should retire for good and move on with his life. Because WWE is going to fucking bury him. This was a setup match because the Miz was watching Barrett and Fandango was watching Y2J. This was a good match but sad to watch at the same time. )

Match#2: Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee vs. Daniel Bryan and Kaitlyn
Winners: Daniel Bryan and Kaitlyn
(This was interesting to watch. I got to see my two favorite women in WWE wrestle for a second. What puzzles me is why is Ziggler in a match for a lesser title ? We all know that Ziggler could steal the WHC from either ADR or Swagger. Also, why is Big E being put in a tag match? He is the current NXT Champion. This is going to be a clusterfuck of a match.)

Match#3: Jack Swagger vs. The Great Khali
Winner: Double Count Out
(WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! You have to be kidding me? This was the shittiest match of 2013. First of all, anything with Khali is shitty. This was a setup match but a shitty one. We did see ADR and RR get some revenge on Swagger. That was it. )

Main Event: Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow and Antonio Cesaro vs. Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton
Winners: Sheamus, Big Show and Randy Orton
(This was a lame ending. We all knew that it was setting up for a confrontation with The Shield. The match was basic babyface tactics. We all got to see their finishers. Then we saw the good guys battle the heels. The end. Boo......)

Final Thoughts: So WWE Raw is three hours and we barely get ten matches but WWE Smackdown is one hour less and we got four matches, what the fuck? This was as good as we will get to see for a WWE Smackdown show. This was fucking sad. We did not get to see ADR in action. We saw bullshit segments. I mean the shit with Ryback and Mark Henry was cool but dumb. We did get to see the WWE Title and we got to see Johnny Ace come back. I will say this show was good for Smackdown but I will call bullshit. See you all for another WWE Raw.

TNA Impact Review 3/28/13

Note: Well this is going to be an interesting show because this is another installment of Open Fight Night. I have loved and hated this concept because it is good for the mid card guys and the rookies but no titles will be defended and also it is not a balanced fight. So I hope this is a good night for a fight. I also hope this will make up for the lack of action I saw on WWE Raw and it's hilarious ending. Here's TNA Impact - Open Fight Night......

Opening Segment: Jeff Hardy comes out to call out Bully Ray. All of Aces and Eights come out and Anderson does all the speaking. So Jeff takes offense to this and attacks Anderson. Aces and Eight beat up Hardy until the rest of TNA comes out for the save. Anderson and Hardy will be the main event tonight.

(Well this was weird to see because we all know that Hardy got balls to call people out. This was total bullshit to me because we all know that Hardy is the golden boy in TNA. As for Anderson, well it was good to see him get into the main event picture in TNA. Actually, it was weird to see Anderson be in the main event after being gone for so long. So I guess this was good if you are a TNA fan. I am trying to be but that is hard.)

Match#1: Chavo and Hernandez vs. Kaz and Daniels - #1 Contenders for the Tag Team Titles

Winners: Chavo and Hernandez

(Same bullshit, different day. I actually wanted Bad Influence to win because Chavo is losing my interest. The other mexican is just a joke to me. This was basically the same match I saw weeks ago. I guess I am starting to be bored of watching TNA because of shitty openings like this.)

Match#2: Taryn Terrell vs. Gail Kim

Winner: No Contest/ Never Started

(So Taryn in a wrestler now? Hmm.......I guess this is out of the WWE Divas handbook. She is a fucking hot ass model with a nice ass but she cannot wrestle. She barely can take bumps. Gail Kim was sexy in the ring but this was ruined by seeing Tara interfer and also Velvet Sky save Taryn from the beat down. I guess the good thing is that we saw some hot women bounce around for like three minutes.)

Match#3: Team TNA (Kurt Angle, James Storm, and Eric Young) vs. Aces and Eights (DOC, Garrett Brischoff and Wes Brisco)

Winner:  Aces and Eights

(This started with James Storm calling out AJ Styles. AJ walks away as Aces and Eights beats up Storm. This becomes a 6 man clusterfuck. This was basically a way to get some TV time to the rookies and also EY. As I was watching this match, I wonder if TNA bookers were bored and had to fill something. Plus most of Aces and Eights are jobbers that was fired from WWE. This was boring but basically a clusterfuck. )

Main Event: Jeff Hardy vs. Anderson of Aces and Eights

Winner: Anderson by DQ

(This was a good match until the end. This was a typical wrestling match. The babyface and the heel exchange movesets and also finishers. Then the heel faction comes out to help their brother. A weapon was involved. Instead of the heel being the loser and caught with the weapon, we got the babyface getting caught. This was maybe a clusterfuck but was avoided by the Aces and Eights. So thank you for correcting this match. )

Final Thoughts: Well this was a shitty show. All the good stuff of TNA is being saved for a couple of weeks in Texas. This was a short and shitty show. I wanted to believe that this was going to be a better show but was disappointed. I was also disappointed with the lack of action and also the lack of attention to the other titles and also the bullshit with Aces and Eights. I'm off to bed. Going to hope WWE Smackdown will make up for the shit on WWE Raw. See you all tomorrow night.....

WWE Raw Review 3/25/13

Note: This has been the longest gap between PPVs ever in WWE. Only between February and April, we get to wait over a month to see Wrestlemania. This wait has been long ad boring because the matches get shittier and dumb. So now we are only two weeks from finally getting through Wrestlemania 29. I mean last year was long and boring but this is just plain long and dumb. So I hope we will get some more build up to matches that will fill the middle of the PPV. So here's WWE Raw and let's see what we will get.

Opening Segment: CM Punk with Paul Heyman hype up the match with Undertaker. He comes out with the urn. He plays with the urn. He says his peace and calls out Taker. Taker comes out to beat up CM Punk but thanks to Heyman, he still have the urn.
(Good news is that this match will be epic. More good news is that we will not get disappointed with this match. Even better news is that this match is not a sequel and we know will not see this match repeated next year. Taker is going to lose and we will see the retirement of Taker.)

Match#1: Chris Jerricho vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Y2J
(First, this was suppose to be a Fandango match. Thank god Y2J came to beat him up. Also thank god for changing the match. This was a very good match. We all know that Y2J is a better teacher for the business. Both men can wrestle and make a good match. This was good for an opening match. Big E got involved after the match. Basically a good way to start the show.)

Match#2: Mark Henry vs. The Uso
Winner: Mark Henry
(This was to make Mark Henry look like a beast. He is a legitimate beast. He can powerlift over 500lbs. This was pointless because we all know that Herny is hurt and also this match with Ryback is a joke. Moving on........)

Match#3: Alberto Del Rio vs. Antonio Cesaro - Champion vs. Champion Match
Winner: Antonio Cesaro by countout.
(This was a slow match. We have seen it before. Thank god they change the ending to make it more easier to deal with. Thank you Swagger and Coulter for distracting ADR. Thank you RR for being the hapless sidekick. My god, thank you Cesaro for being the punching bag after RR was reinjured by Swagger. So this is a win win for me to watch this match.)

Match#4: Team Hell No vs. Prime Time Players
Winners: Team Hell No
(This was a good tag match. No real fuck ups here. We did see Ziggler and Big E come out during the match. This was a good tag match to see the teams do some damage. Also this was to hype up the match at PPV with Team Hell No and Ziggler and Big E. Moving on........)

Match#5: Wade Barrett vs. The Miz
Winner: The Miz
(This was going to be a boring match. Thank you god for small miracles. Triple H takes out Wade before the match because he disrespects the COO of WWE. The match was good and did do the job of a typical mid card match. We were entertained and we did see something end cleanly. Thank you for this rare gem.)

Match#6: The Shield vs. Zack Ryder, The Great Khali, and Justin Gabriel
Winners: The Shield
(No comment because this was a waste of time. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!)

Match#7: Rhodes Scholars vs. Brodus Clay and Sweet T. (Tensai)
Winners: Rhodes Scholars
(Bad news is that we had to see this fucked up match. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! However, we did see some a good chick fight. Thank you Bellas and Cameron/Naomi.)

Match#8: Ryback vs. 3MB
Winner: Ryback
(Mark Henry killed two guys. So Ryback took on three jobbers. Hype for their match. But seriously, WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!)

Match#9: AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn - Non Title Match
Winner: AJ Lee by Countout
(I am going to be honest with you all and say we got fucked out of a good match. We want to see these women at Wrestlemania but we all know that Vince hates the Divas. This is the dream match we want to see. This is the match that will make men fap all night long to. We want to see good matches and this would be the best damn chick match of the present decade. Book this fucking match Vince..........)

Main Event: Rock vs. Cena Debate
Host: Jerry Lawler
HOF Panel: Dusty Rhodes, Booker T., Bret Hart, and Mick Foley
Winner: The Rock
(This was basically a question and answer panel but the questions were good. Bret Hart compares this feud with his feud with Shawn Michaels. This was a good way to hype up their match. We saw that The Rock won by Rock Bottom because he called Cena out. This was the longest closing segment ever on WWE Raw. This lasted close to 11:30pm. Good way to end the show.)

Final Thoughts: Well the end save this show. However, the dream match of the divas were teased. This was not a shitty show but then again, having Ryder on a team that was going to job to The Shield was the low point of the night. Also having Ryback and Mark Henry kill jobbers was sad and pathetic. So I am off to bed. I will see you all for TNA Impact and let's hope Bully Ray don't share another story about him screwing the fans.

Dear Zack Ryder - 2013 Edition

Dear Zack Ryder,

Where are you? What did you do to yourself? I am a fan of yours and hate that WWE killed you. Basically, WWE neutered you. You had your own Youtube show. We got to know Big O, your father, that other guy and more into your real life. We saw the feud that should have helped your career. We should be getting a match with you and Ziggler for the Internet championship. Ziggler is going to steal the show at Wrestlemania and where will you be at? By the way, you suppose to represent the LI at Wrestlemania. So forgive me for being blunt but what the fuck. You need a match at Wrestlemania. I don’t mean on the pre-show but the actual show.

After Wrestlemania, we need to do something about your character. I know that your contract is up or will be up after Wrestlemania. So your options are to stay in WWE or go to TNA, or even go to ROH. I would love you to stay in WWE and get out of mid card hell. You need a title push. I miss seeing you have a title and actually defending it. You need to get your balls back and go back to Youtube on your own. Hell, get some celebrity that likes your character and help you be popular again. Don’t go to Cena! Do something to gain some popularity back. You need to be on Smackdown or Raw. No more kids show!!!!!!

I wanted to write this letter because you are one of a few WWE stars that I like personally. I like the fact that you did something to be noticed. I loved that you got drama in your life. You need to do something to be noticed. Even if it means bringing in Big O and that other guy in WWE, we as your fans want to see something better for you. It is sad to remember that last year, you were U.S. champion. I remember seeing you in the ring with CM Punk and Daniel Bryan who were champions at the time. You are a future WHC or WWE Champion. I am a fan and I want to see you get out of mid card hell. You are more than a comedic character. I am just saying this to you to get you to get your balls back and be bold. Thank you for what you do but more is better.

Dear Dwayne - Wrestlemania 29 Edition

Dear Dwayne Johnson bka The Rock,

What the fuck are you? Are you an actor? Are you a wrestler? Are you champion? Are you a joke? Please answer one of these questions because you are on my shit list. As a wrestling fan, it is clear that the champion is supposed to make an appearance. I find it funny that you are champion but you and Cena love to kiss Vince’s ass. Why are you holding a title that people expect to see or view weekly? I want to support you in your stint in WWE but that’s hard to do. I am tired of trying to defend someone that is doing too much in a little amount of time.

As an actor, you are a good actor. Regardless of the genre of movie, you can emote the emotion that is needed to convey to the audience’s emotional state. Before you became an actor, you were a good wrestler. You come from wrestling heritage and you can act but this is where my frustration comes in. You came back to WWE last year to face Cena and you beat him. So why do it again? You came back and won the title against a man that carried the WWE for a year. You made enemies by doing that. Then you show up like 50% of the time. You are a part time champion. WWE and the real fans want a full time champion. We don’t need another Softball Sid situation.

So what is the point of this letter? Well like I asked you in the beginning, answer one of those questions. Even though it says WWE and the E is for Entertainment, the entertainment is wrestling. Your grandfather and father were wrestlers. You were a wrestler. Now you act in blockbuster movies but then come back and screw up the flow in wrestling. You messed up a good streak. You kissed Vince’s ass. We suppose to like you and cheer for you but what are you? At least Jerricho admits that he is an entertainer. He has a band. He is a reality celebrity star. He is also a wrestler. He can answer the questions I ask you because he is not afraid to engage and screw with the fans. Until you know what you are, please don’t screw with the flow of WWE. Vince might be your bitch but the fans are tired of this part time champion bullshit.

Dear John Cena and Fans of John Cena - Wrestlemania 29 Letter

Dear John Cena and Fans of John Cena,

I want to write this letter because it is apparently clear that you are the reason why most fans cannot real watch WWE programming. John Cena, the wrestler is the most sickening thing that I have ever seen in WWE programming since I was a kid. I actually think that Cena is the new age Hulk Hogan. At least Hogan became a heel and acknowledges that his fans made him sick. At least Hogan was more versatile. Cena is basically Vince McMahon’s wet dream. As for the fans, Cena fans are basically kids. It is sad to watch anything on WWE without noticing that most of Cena’s fans are kids. I was a fan of Hogan’s. Did I hate him as a heel in NWO? No, because I was happy to see him be something else. Cena is scared to let go of his kid fan base.

I wonder if you Cena fans can be able to idolize a man that basically let his home life fall apart and also uses women like toilet paper. I know the kids don’t watch TMZ or read the wrestling news sites. I do. I didn’t even know that Cena was married until I saw the pic and saw the video of his wife. I know they are using the real life drama to hype the match with Dwayne at Wrestlemania 29. I will get to that match in a few minutes. Cena’s marriage was over because he cheated and also because his real wife is Vince McMahon. I don’t like reading the wrestling news sites but the fact that Cena not only cheated on his wife but he went from screwing a porn star to screwing a Bella. By the way, he is the reason why both Bellas is back in WWE.

So let’s discuss the match at Wrestlemania 29 because this is my meat and potatoes of this opinion letter. We were lied to because this match was not supposed to happen again. We were not going to see Cena/Rock II but Vince is greedy and Cena is desperate.  I have not been a fan of Cena. I don’t like his character. The man is basically a joke and a farce of a real person. The credo that he uses offends me because hustle means something different in my vocabulary. He is loyal to his kid fans and to Vince and WWE. As for respect, well I am an old fashioned wrestling fan. I like to see my wrestlers in tights and costumes. Cena looks like he is trying to hard. His character reminds me why most people use to rag on Eminem. At least Eminem is really a legit person regardless. Cena is not a real person. As for the match at Wrestlemania 29, it is going to be good to watch but the result will piss off non Cena fans.

So why did I write this letter? That’s simple because it is time to say to Cena fans: SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! Please don’t make me throw up or upset me. If I go to a WWE event, please don’t make me sick. I don’t want to upset a kid or kill their joy but I will if I don’t get peace of mind. Cena fans need to be realistic because like Hogan, he will need to change or we will see him get buried. We all know that Triple H and Steph will take over WWE someday. When they do, Cena is going to be a jobber or gone like the wind. Cena the man is a joke. Cena the wrestler is a joke. Adapt or move on.

WWE Smackdown Review 3/22/13

Note: WWE Raw was lacking. I usually don't ask much from WWE Smackdown but this is Wrestlemania season. We need to see good matches and also good feuds. We are going to see the same shit from last year. However, I hope to see something different this year. So I guess it is time to be happy to see WWE Smackdown do something good. Here's WWE Smackdown........

Opening Segment: The Miz kicks off SmackDown with MizTV. His guests are Randy Orton and Sheamus, talking about the six-man match at WrestleMania 29 and how they need a partner. They talk about Big Show and here he comes. Booker T ends up coming out and says tonight, Sheamus, Orton and Big Show will team up to see if they can get on the same page.
(Good opening. I hope this match is worth the hype. Also RKO is scaring me. He is not suppose to be nice. )

Match#1: Mark Henry vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Mark Henry
(Zack Ryder is a jobber that will be punished for getting popular without using the WWE's help. So this was another punishment for him. As for Mark Henry, this was setup to promote the power match with himself and Ryback. Seeing Ryder get pummeled was sad to see. However, Ryback and Henry will be a good mid card match.)

Match#2: Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(Just like Zack Ryder, Kofi is a jobber that was suppose to be in the main event but we all know that Kofi is not main event stature in the WWE. This was to setup Ziggler to be the show stealer. He will do something at Wrestlemania. Big E is a beast. I saw him on WWE NXT and he is a beast. He is the second comming of Lashley. This will be an interesting situation.)

Match#3: Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: Jack Swagger
(This was kind of a weird match to see because we all know that Swagger is trying to be the heel of all heels at Wrestlemania. This was kind of a good match because both men can wrestle and Y2J loves helping the kids in WWE. This also setup a fucked up match with Fandango and Y2J. What the fuck? I know Y2J did that celebrity dance show but really.)

Match#4: Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes vs. Tensai and Brodus Clay
Winner: No Contest
(I wanted the heels to win. I wanted a clean ending. Instead, we got a female clusterfuck. Why did WWE bring back the Bellas? We all know that both are fucking wrestlers in WWE now. This was a shitty match but the heels could have finished the match.)

Match#5: The Miz vs. Antonio Cesaro
Winner: The Miz
(This was a match to set up the feud with The Miz and Wade Barrett. We all know that Cesaro is not going to have a match at Wrestlemania unless it is on the pre show. I am not happy to see this feud build up because we all know that Barrett is a good IC champion but I also hate that the mid card titles are being wasted and overlooked. This was not Mizz's best match.)

Main Event: Randy Orton, Big Show and Sheamus vs. Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal
Winners: No Contest
(This whole main event was to setup the big 6 man tag match. Thank god we did not have to see the faces kill 3MB. This was good at first but when the Shield came down, it was not going to be good. Plus this 6 man match is going to end at the PPV with someone turning heel. So I guess they did setup the match at the PPV but much more.)


Final Thoughts: Well I guess it is sad to see that WWE Smackdown was actually better than WWE Raw because they did setup something for Wrestlemania. Most of the matches and feuds are better on th8is show because we have a champion that is on the road and also on TV. Unlike WWE Raw, we know that Smackdown can make it better for WWE fans to watch something good. So I guess we hope that WWE Raw is better this week. See you all on Monday............

TNA Impact Review 3/21/13

Note: If you had not notice from my last review that I was disappointed with WWE Raw. As for TNA Impact, well I hope this is better live show than what I saw last week. I know that TNA is not use to doing live shows every week but then again, TNA needs to do more with their show. WWE has two shows to build up a PPV. TNA needs to do more for their PPVs. So with that said, here is TNA Impact........

Match#1: Chavo and Hernandez vs. Austin Aries and Bobby Roode - TNA Tag Team Title Match
Winners: Austin Aries and Bobby Roode
(I watched this match with the expectation that we will see something different. I wanted to see something fresh with this feud. I got to see a good match with Aries and Roode being the heels we know they are. This was a good match to start the match but the lack of tag teams in TNA is making the matches more stale and shitty.)

Match#2: Kenny King vs. Zema Ion vs. Sonjay Dutt - TNA X Division Title Match
Winner: Kenny King
(So all the X Division matches will be three way matches? Ok, good because it means we will see more guys wrestle. Another good thing was that this was more action packed than usual. I am happy to see changes with this division. Sonjay Dutt is eliminated from getting another title shot. This is a sign of good things to come.)

Match#3: Joseph Parks vs. Matt Morgan
Winner: Matt Morgan
(WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!!WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! This was setup last week but what pissed me off was that this match was before the main event. Why was this before the main event? This should have been the opening match. So I will ask again: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT ON MY TV!!!!!!!!!! Moving on.......)

Main Event: Samoa Joe vs. Magnus vs. Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Hardy - #1 Contender for the TNA Title.
Winner: Jeff Hardy
(I wanted to call this a clusterfuck but this was a good match. All four men can wrestle and these men stole the show. This was setup by Jeff Hardy but he did not have to do this. However, this was a good main event. Thank you TNA for this brilliant ideal. Good job TNA for this match.)

Final Thoughts: This show was more into the segments than matches. I did not care to see Bully Ray explain his actions. I fell for this act. I am not happy with that because I wanted to see Bully Ray and Devon retire. I hate Jeff Hardy because he could have done better in WWE but he was fucked over. So I guess TNA did something better than WWE. However, we have not seen WWE Smackdown yet. So I guess see you all for WWE Smackdown.

WWE Raw Review 3/18/13

Note: This is Wrestlemania season. We are suppose to see good matches and feuds form for this PPV and the new year of WWE programming. So we as fans want to see the epic matches that have our stars. We will see Taker go 21 and 0. We will see two rematches from 2012 in this PPV. We will see some good feuds build. I just hope that we don't see some bulshit and some lame shit. So with that said, here is WWE Monday Night Night Raw.............

Opening Segment: John Cena comes out to the ring to promo his match for Wrestlemania. Prime Time Players come out to tell Cena that he is not what people want to see at Wrestlemania. This leads to...........

Match#1: Darrin Young vs. John Cena
Winner: John Cena
(The segment was the funniest one ever. This was basically the best comedic segment ever on WWE. This made me laugh so hard and I was happy to see something different from WWE. As for the match, well it was basically a jobber match for Cena. This was sad to watch but it was happy to see the opening segment.)

Match#2: Ryback vs. David Otunga
Winner: Ryback
(This was basically a jobber match for Ryback. We all know that Otunga was setup to lose. Plus even though Otunga is in the current WWE Films movie but he is still a jobber. Also this was to setup Ryback vs. Mark Henry.)

Match#3: Fandango vs. The Great Khali
Winner: No Contest
(I don't know what pissed me off more. I wanted to see Fandango wrestle but I was not going to be hopeful with this bullshit of a gimmick. Also as for The Great Khali, well I gave up wanting to see something different from him. This was a clusterfuck that was avoided by shitty writing and booking.)

Match#4: R-Truth vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: R-Truth by Count Out
(I am shocked to see this because I wanted to see a clean finish but then again this could be setting up something. I hope this is something good to come out of this because this was a waste of a good match. )

Match#5: Primo and Epico vs. Team Hell No - Non Title Match
Winner: Team Hell No
(Well this was a good match. I say that because I liked seeing quality tag team matches. However, this also setup the possible match for the titles with Team Hell No and Dolph and Big E. So that could make Dolph a triple crown champion in 2013. I guess with that will make me happy.)

Match#6: Cody Rhodes vs. Alberto Del Rio - Non Title Match
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(Good news is that ADR and Swagger title match is getting better. I actually like the shit with the right wing nut vs. the mexican american. This was a good setup match and even though Cody lost, he still will get something good at Wrestlemania. The bad news is that Ricardo Rodrigez has a broken ankle via SWagger. So this might get good now.)

Match#7: Randy Orton and Sheamus vs. 3MB
Winners: Randy Orton and Sheamus
(This is another setup match. This match lead the way to seeing Big Show be the third man for the 6 man tag match at Wrestlemania. This was good to see but also will lead to being a colossal clusterfuck at Wrestlemania. I just hope to see something shitty come for this. )

Match#8: Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(This was a typical match for both men. It made Dolph look good as the heel and Kofi look good as a jobber. I am going to be speechless about the rest because this was a sad thing to see Kofi become a jobber. Dolph is going to be WHC in 2013. )

Match#9: The Miz vs. Chris Jerricho vs. Wade Barrett - IC Title Match
Winner: Wade Barrett
(This was the best match of the night. I think this match showed that the IC title still matters in the WWE. All three men have did the best job they could do to make the IC title great again. Barrett was awesome. The Miz was sweet. Y2J still can go and should be in the main event but helping the young talent is good as well. Thank you WWE for this classic. )

Main Event: Triple and Brock Lesnar will fight at Wrestlemaina 29. They will have a No Holds Barred Match with the stipulation that if Triple H loses, he is retired.
(No comment.)

Final Thoughts: Well I did not get a lot of good things in this episode. I think the last match before the dumb ass contract signing was better than the dumb ass contract signing. Most of the show was lacking something. This shoow did setup some things but it failed to make someone like me want to see Wrestlemania 29. I guess I will hope for something again soon. See you all for TNA Impact.

WWE Smackdown Review 3/15/13

Editor's Note: This is my 250th post of Gene The Grappler. I am happy to still be able to post my opinion of the shit that WWE and TNA put on TV and PPV for the last year and change. I hope people will keep reading. I also hope people with comment more and share their opinions because news can be faked.

Note: After seeing WWE Raw without John Cena, it is going to be interesting to see how this show is going to be. I am happy to see that we will be getting some action with the matches for Wrestlemania. I am excited to see what this show does to help the matches and the Wrestlemania PPV itself. Here's WWE Smackdown.........

Opening Segment/Match#1: Sheamus and Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow
Winners: Sheamus and Randy Orton
(Where to beging for this match? So we got RKO and Sheamus acting like buddies? I am uneasy seeing this because Sheamus is trying to hard to be a face. RKO is due to be heel. This was a good match because it was both entertaining and exciting to see. I like the build up to the match with The Shield. I know someone will turn heel and I hope it is RKO. )

Match#2: Layla and Kaitlyn vs. Tamina and Aksana
Winners: Kaitlyn and Layla
(Jesus!!!!!! This was a wet dream in real time. I was doing my best to watch this match but all I can think about is the asses shaking and the dry humping that was going on. This was not the best match where the action was good. However, this was the best match for showing ass and tits. Please remind me why that wanted to bring back the Bellas? Also why is Brodus' dancers getting matches now? Boring......)

Match#3: Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(Wow, this was a good match. I was shocked to see this match end clean and was not a clusterfuck. Dolph is suppose to be the next champion. Dolph is going to be the main event of Smackdown. So he jobbed to people but he is going to get his big payday soon. As for Kane, well with the death of Paul Bearer, maybe he will get rid of DB and go back to being the beast he is. Good job WWE!!!!!)

Match#4: The Great Khali vs. Fandango
Winner: No Contest
(I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit.I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit.I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit.)

Match#5: Mark Henry vs. Ryback
Winner: No Contest
(We get to see the match that should be a PPV match but it ends with the Shield fucking it up. I wish to say that I was happy to see this end but this became a clusterfuck because we all know that either man will job to each other. I will say this again: I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit. I am done with this shit.)

Main Event: Jack Swagger vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: Jack Swagger
(Holy shit......this was the best main event ever on Smackdown in the last few years. Good build up and good clean match. Swagger was flawless in this match. Y2J still can wrestle after being in the business for many years. This was an enjoyable match that setup more heat with Swagger and Del Rio. Thank you WWE!!!!!)

Final Thoughts: Well this was better to watch for the most part than TNA Impact last night. I am happy to see that WWE is going to make sure we get some good matches for Wrestlemania this year. I want to say that it is good that we end this week on a high note because we need to see something good. I will remind myself that TNA was shitty because they had no real plan with Aces and Eights. At least most of the mid card matches for Wrestlemania should be good to remember for years to come. I guess WWE is listening to the fans. So I guess it is time for me to stop being tame and flip the fuck out with the shit that both WWE and TNA pull out. See you all for WWE Monday Night Raw.

TNA Impact Live Review 3/14/13

Note: I was suppose to be at this live TNA event. Just like I was going to be at the TNA event in Detroit a few weeks ago. I wanted to see this show to see if TNA can be like a WWE show. I am going to see this for what it is: a B show trying to be an A show. I am hopeful something will be done to make my mind change. I am ready to take off the gloves if this show sucks. Here's live TNA Impact from Chicago.........

Opening Segment: Recap of Lockdown PPV last Sunday. We saw the turn of Bully Ray. He's the president of Aces and Eights. We see Chavo and Hernadez come out to a match but Aces and Eights beat them up. Bully Ray cuts a promo.
(Um, where to begin with this shit? So we see that Aces and Eights are the TNA version of NWO. We see Bully Ray as the leader and Devon is the sgt. at arms. The promo was shitty. This is not the way to start the show. We should have seen something more epic from TNA and Aces and Eights.)

Match#1: Gail Kim and Tara vs. Mickie James and Velvet Sky
Winners: Mickie James and Velvet Sky
(After the shitty promo with Aces and Eights, this was like the best fucking match ever on TNA. I love three of the four women in this match. I was happy to see my asian love: Gail Kim. I love how she is much better suited in TNA than WWE. She has been my crush for years. Then I got to see Mickie James in action. I damn near died seeing her. I love that she still can wrestle after all these years. She is another woman that is better suited in TNA. Love how she can pull off the sexy country girl. Finally, Tara was in this match. My god this woman is a total hottie even though she does not look 40. She's closer to my age and that ass. Only AJ Lee has a sexier ass. The match was good and clean. It is said to see this be the best match of the night.)

Match#2: Robbie E. vs. Rob Terry
Winner: Rob Terry
(WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THIS FUCKING MATCH? WHO ARE THESE FUCKING ASSHOLES? WHY AM I SEEING A REMATCH FROM THE PPV? I AM PISSED TO HAVE WATCH THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!! Moving on.......)

Match#3: James Storm vs. Daniels
Winner: James Storm
(This was a good match. I guess this could be the match of the night. I say that because at least the women's match was good for the men. I was happy to see this build to finally seeing AJ Styles coming out and back to TNA. This was good because Kaz and Daniels made it good. This was a good segment and also the match itself.)

Main Event: Sting vs. Austin Aries
Winner: No Contest
(Austin Aries was wasted in this match. He basically carried Sting. Why? Because we all know that Sting is done wrestling. This was like watching a teen fight his grandfather. Austin Aries and Bobby Roode made this match and segment because Sting is tired and a joke. Also thank you Aces and Eights because if they did not do something, Sting would have won. Bullshit!!!!!)

End of Show: Hogan comes out and tells TNA to band together to fight Aces and Eights. They brawl. Bully Ray goes after Hulk Hogan. The show ends with Bully Ray and Hogan in a stare off.
(This was sad to watch. TNA guys were bored and tired. Most of the guys were just there to be on TV. This brawl was a................clusterfuck. This was the shittiest clusterfuck I have ever seen. I was bored watching this. Not only that, it was sad to see guys take bumps that was not necessary. This was sad. )


Final Thoughts: So what the fuck? This was a short fucking show!!!!!! You mean to tell me that you only had four matches in the entire show. Out of the four matches, you had two that ended clean. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!! So if I was there, I really would have flipped the fuck out!!!!! OMG, I am so pissed because this was suppose to be the biggest show of TNA. This was shit. This fucking show was a waste of time and space. AJ Styles comes back but it was weak. Aces and Eights are all unmasked and this is basically a weak version of NWO. I am fucking pissed. I am off to bed because at least WWE Smackdown is going to be better than this shit.

WWE Raw Review 3/11/13 - Tribute To Paul Bearer

Note: Well after the TNA PPV that made me almost speecheless and also cry my eyes out, I think WWE needs to make me happy. I hope this is the show were we see Brock come out and take on Triple H at Wrestlemania. I want to see some confrontation with CM Punk and Undertaker. I don't care about Cena and Rock because that is going to be easy to pick. I just want something good with this show. So with that said, here's WWE Monday Night Raw............

Opening Segment: Tribute to Paul Bearer. We see Undertaker with an urn. We see a video tribute and also the dead man givining respect. CM Punk comes out to interrupt and also disrespect Undertaker.
(Well CM Punk is a heel. He just got some mad heel heat for the shit he pulled. I still respect CM Punk because he played his role. Also he did what he was suppose to do which is to gain the boos needed to make their match move important at Wrestlemania. I miss Paul Bearer. He was a good solid manager.)

Match#1: Big Show vs. Seth Rollins
Winner: Big Show by DQ
(Good match. I was surprise to see that Rollins was able to actually wrestle not just be a punching bag. Big Show made this a good match because he can make good matches. I was not surprised that The Shield was going to interfer. Good way to build up a possible match with The Shield and Big Show.)

Match#2: Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(This was a good match. I was shock to see this match be a close to perfect match. We saw everything. Dolph showed off. DB was technically sound. We saw AJ Lee involved. We saw that Big E was in the mix. This was an old school mid card match. No crap. Was happy to see this end clean and also see Big E do some damage. So shocked. )

Match#3: Fandango vs. Tensai (Sweet T.)
Winner: Never Started
(I was glad this was not going to happen. I literally hoping to see someone job but happy to have change channels during this shitty point. Both men are going to be let go after Wrestlemania. Moving on.)

Match#4: New Age Outlaws vs. Rhodes Scholars
Winners: No Contest
(Good match until Brock Lesnar came down and destroyed New Age Outlaws. Brock accepts the challenge of Triple H but there will be a mystery stipulation to the match at Wrestlemania. We won't know until they sign the contract.)

Match#5: Kofi Kingston vs. Mark Henry
Winner: Mark Henry
(This was a total sqaush match. We all knew that Kofi was fucked. Good bumps from Kofi. Mark Henry is going to kill someone soon. Good build up to the match with Ryback that is coming soon.)

Match#6: Ryback vs. Heath Slater
Winner: Ryback
(This was another squash match that was done to make a point to show that Ryback is a beast. It was funny to see how 3MB was basically used to make Ryback look powerful. Mark Henry comes in the ring and both Ryback and Mark Henry kill Drew McIntyre. Funny shit......)

Match#7: Antonio Cesaro vs. Antonio Del Rio - Non Title Match
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(This match was setup to make ADR look like a baby face. This was a SSDD match. We saw it before but this time it was done to make Cesaro weak and ADR the baby face. I want to say this was going to be different but seen this fucking match over and over again. Thank god it was not for a title.)

Match#8: Randy Orton and Sheamus vs. Rhodes Scholars
Winners: Randy Orton and Sheamus
(This match was made after we saw that Rhodes Scholars was denied a match with the New Age Outlaws. So we got to see another match with these men with RKO and Sheamus. This was a solid match with both faces doing their finishers and also making them look for a possible match with The Sheild.)

Match#9: Chris Jericho vs. The Miz - #1 Contender Match to Face IC Champion.
Winner: No Contest
(This was done after a shitty segment with all three men. This is total bullshit. What happened with Bo Dallas and Wade Barrett? I was scratching my head and just moved on. Well we will see a triple threat match next week with all three men. Why? Both challengers are suppose to be in the main event not the mid card. )

Match#10: Sin Cara vs. Jack Swagger
Winner: Jack Swagger
(Ugh....I will say this was a pointless match. We did get to see ADR and Swagger fight to draw attention to their match at Wrestlemania. I also hope this is not the first match at Wrestlmania unless Swagger will steal the title.)

Main Event: Kane vs. CM Punk - No DQ Match
Winner: Kane
(This was setup after CM Punk came to mess up the tribute to Undertaker and Paul Bearer. They basically played this match to cater to the build up to Taker and CM Punk. Plus it was a fitting match to make because it will give Kane some push and CM Punk some heat. Good clean match. This was not a PG match. Loved the ending and the shit that CM Punk pulled after the match. Good way to end the show and show tribute.)

Final Thought: This was actually a good show. Nothing really to complain about except the Fandango shit. Also it was good to see that WWE can be classy when someone in their extended family passes. We all know that Vince believes that the show must go on regardless. This show was the catalyst I was waiting to see because we need to know what matches were going to be hyped for the PPV. And we did not see Cena or The Rock. Holy shit, no wonder why this was a good show. See you all for TNA Impact live from Chicago.

TNA Lockdown Review 2013 - 3/10/13

Note: Well this is the PPV for TNA. I did honestly forget the name of this PPV because most people are focused of WWE Wrestlemania. This is the PPV that will see some good matches and also some good title matches. TNA PPVs usually don't get much attention because WWE PPVs are more developed. I know that was bullshit but it is true with most WWE PPVs. So will we see title changes? I hope so. Will we see something new? We will see. Here is TNA Lockdown 2013........

Match#1 - TNA X Division Title Match: Christian York vs. Zema Ion vs. Kenny King
Winner: Kenny King
(I cried during this match. You mean to tell me that we will not see RVD getting a paycheck, thank you TNA. This was a good match. I miss seeing the real X division guys do their thing. This was a good taste of seeing something new. I loved seeing that Kenny King made sure he will keep the title for a while longer. )

Match#2: Joey Ryan vs. Joseph Park
Winner: Joseph Park
(This was bullshit. This was total bullshit. We all know that Abyss is coming back because this lawyer character is bullshit. As for Joey Ryan, meh. He's a nasty jobber.)

Match#3 - TNA Knockouts Title Match: Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky
Winner: Velvet Sky
(I wanted to see Gail Kim win the title. I cried because this was bullshit. I gave up watching this match because TNA is using Velvet Sky like WWE uses John Cena. This was fucking horrible to see because the wrong woman won. This is where I say, fuck you TNA for this shit.)

Match#4: Robbie E vs. Robbie T
Winner: Robbie T
(WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THIS MATCH!!!!!!!!!!! This should have been a pre show match. I don't care and most of you don't care. Moving the fuck on.)

Match#5 - TNA Tag Team Title Match: Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez vs. Kazarian & Daniels vs. Austin Aries & Bobby Roode
Winners: Austin Aries and Bobby Roode
(I was happy as fuck to see these men win. I was happy to see Roode come back. I love these men as singles wrestler but love these men together as well. I was happy to see these guys show that they mean fucking business. I love Kaz and Daniels as well but I wanted to see Aries and Roode get this win for the masses.)

Match#6 - Steel Cage Match: Wes Brisco vs. Kurt Angle
Winner: Wes Brisco
(This match was meh. I think this was a good match if this was for something. This was a pointless match. I think this was to make Brisco better but I was like meh. I think I could have made a better match on a video game with a better opponent. Wes Brisco is still a rookie. As for Angle, well this Angle is better than the goofy old WWE one.)

Match#7 - Lethal Lockdown: Team TNA (Sting, Magnus, Samoa Joe, James Storm and Eric Young) vs. Aces & 8s (Devon, Mr. Anderson, Mike Knox, Doc and Garett Bischoff)
Winners: Team TNA
(Well I wanted to see Aces and Eights get this win. I think if we want to believe that Aces and Eights is as big as NWO then we need them to win. So with that said, I am saying that Aces and Eights needed the win. I loved the action in the ring. I was happy to see this match avoid being a clusterfuck. Good job with this match. )

Main Event - TNA World Heavyweight Title Match: Bully Ray vs. Jeff Hardy
Winner and New World Heavyweight Champion: Bully Ray
(Good news is that Jeff Hardy is gone for a while. The better news is that we got a champion that can travel anywhere and everywhere. What's the bad news? Bully Ray is the leader of Aces and Eights. I was going to say WTF but I honestly am happy to see him back as a heel. I think I am happy to see him not act goofy anymore. So Aces and Eights might have lost a battle but gained something as well. Good job TNA with this swerve. )

Final Thoughts: I wish I could go to the TNA live event in Chicago this Thursday. I want to see how Aces and Eights will act. I want to see how most of things will be during the event. I guess I will be watching on TV. Most of the shock is in the ending and also the lack of changes I liked to see. I am happy for some of the changes but I guess I except too much from TNA. See you all for WWE Monday Night Raw and also for the live TNA Impact.

WWE Smackdown Review 3/8/13

Note: This is going to be an interesting show because it is going to add and modify what happened on Raw this past Monday. I want to say this is going to be an explosive show but I can't. This past Monday setup more matches for the Raw side of Wrestlemania. However, we only know that Smackdown matches are going to be the jobber matches prior to the Wrestlemania PPV. So let's watch WWE Smackdown and hope for the best.

Opening Segment: Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter came out to spew hate but Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodridgez came out to not only make fun of their hate filled Youtube videos but them as well.
(Best point of the show was the video that ADR and RR did. We really need to laugh at this shit because it is getting to be a bunch of bullshit that I cannot stand. I guess I am not a fan of the hate filled shit that Swagger is trying to promote. Moving on.)

Match#1: Team Hell No vs. 3MB
Winners: Team Hell No
(Thank god it was not the token black team. At least this was more tolerable to watch. Kane is still good in the ring. DB is good as well. Sad to see three jobbers be something they are not. Good match to start the show. No bullshit just wrestling and a clean winner.)

Match#2: Ryback vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Ryback
(Nothing new except the showdown with Ryback and Mark Henry. Same match with the same result.)

Match#3: Dolph Ziggler vs. Alberto Del Rio - Non Title Match
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(The match was good. I love the outside crap with AJ Lee and Ricardo Rodridgez. Good solid match. I just hope Ziggler will steal the show at Wrestlemania because the WHC title match is plain and boring.)

Match#4: Yoshi Tatsu vs. Mark Henry
Winner: Mark Henry
(Typical sqaush match. Moving on.)

Match#5: Kaitlyn w/Layla vs. Tamina Snuka - Non Title Match
Winner: Tamina Snuka
(I nearly died when Kaitlyn dove and almost broke her nose. I was crying when she lost. I then had to take a shower because I was seeing nothing but jiggle and lots of ass shaking. I am sorry for this but I was lost in the sea of sexy women. Moving on. )

Match#6: Justin Gabriel vs. Fandango
Winner: No Contest
(I hate this fucking jobber. He's pissing me off. Go back to being Johnny Curtis and be yourself. This gimmick is bullshit.)

Main Event: Sheamus vs. Big Show
Winner: No Contest
(The Shield came in and almost destroyed the match and RKO, Sheamus, and Big Show. Chaos ensues then we saw The Shield run and RKO taking out Big Show after Big Show KOs Sheamus. Show ends..........)

Final Thought: This show was quick. I say that because the matches were quick and to the point. Even the bullshit with Johnny Curtis gimmick was pointless but had filled time. I really am shocked because this show was quick. So I guess this review is quick. See you all for the real WWE show: WWE Raw.






Gene The Grappler

TNA Impact Review 3/7/13

Note: This is the last TNA show before the PPV this weekend. To be honest, I did not realize that it was a PPV this weekend. Unlike WWE where you have two shows before the PPV. TNA is the new age WCW but there is only one show and no BS most of the time. So with that said, this is going to be a show to make matches for the PPV. So here is TNA Impact.............

Opening Segment: Austin Aries calls out Jeff Hardy to see if he will be the next to have a title shot after Bully Ray.
(This was very entertaining because Aries needs to be in the main event picture. I wanted to see Roode as well but Aries calling out Hardy made me happy to see something good in TNA.)

Match#1: Jeff Hardy vs. Austin Aries - Non Title Match
Winner: Jeff Hardy by DQ
(Why is Matt Morgan being a dick? Why did this match was in favor of Jeff Hardy? Basically this was a good match until Morgan was being a dick. He is going to be a heel but not for the best reasons. He is basically a large mid carder that is trying to be a star. He's a fucking joke. Thank you TNA for fucking up a good start.)

Question: Who is the VP of Aces and Eights?
Answer: D'Lo Brown
(Unless you are young, you don't know who the fuck is D'Lo Brown. However, to give you a short version of his wrestling career, here it is: He was in WWE. He was a mid carder that was in a black faction with The Rock, Ron Simmons, and Godfather. If you remember the Nation of Domination, then you know who he is. Basically he is a TNA upper level guy that is going back to his heel roots. So basically, D'Lo and Devon are the leaders of Aces and Eights. What the fuck TNA?)

Match#2: Devon of Aces and Eights vs. Sting
Winner: Devon
(This was the first match to see how many guys will represent their teams at the PPV. Devon won via help from a planted Aces and Eights fan. Total bullshit. Moving on. )A8=1 TNA=0

Match#3: Chavo Guerrero, Velvet Sky, and Hernadez vs. Gail Kim, Kaz, and Daniels
Winners: Gail Kim, Kaz, and Daniels
(This was a blended clusterfuck match. I got to see my TNA KO in action but had to endure a tag team match in the process. I want Gail Kim to win the title back but I cannot watch KO action with women that cannot wrestle. I loved most of this match but was bored by the end. Thank you Gail Kim for ending the horror.)

Gut Check: Lei'D Tapa vs. Ivelisse Velez
Eliminated: Ivelisse Velez
Winner: Lei'D Tapa
(Normally, I would love to see people get work in wrestling. However, this was total bullshit. First of all, Lei'D is related to a former wrestler. Ivelisse has MMA background. Ivelisse was the winner of the match but got fucking screwed. Lei'd is just like Tamina Snuka in WWE. A tall woman who barely can wrestle. This was bullshit because Ivelisse got skills but is not a wrestler. Plus they got rid of Taz for Gut Check and replaced him with Danny Davis. What the fuck?)

Match#4: Doc and Garrett of Aces and Eights vs. Samoa Joe and Magnus
Winners: Samoa Joe and Magnus
(This was a good match even though the match was biased to begin with. This was going to be a clusterfuck but ended up being a good match to help the TNA roster vs. Aces and Eights.) A8=1 TNA=1

Main Event: Anderson of Aces and Eights vs. James Storm
Winner: Anderson
(So Aces and Eight won the battle for dominance at the PPV. This means that Aces and Eights will have five men in the ring but TNA will only get four men. This was a good match that could have been better if it was for a title shot or something relevant in TNA. This bullshit with Aces and Eights is getting old and boring. I am tired of the predictable guesses with the masked men.)

Final Thoughts: I skipped the confrontation with Jeff Hardy and Bully Ray because it lead to a fight with TNA and Aces and Eights. So with that said, you're welcome!!!!! Basically this show set up some ok matches for the PPV. I want to see how most of these matches won't be considered clusterfucks in the process. Also, AJ Styles is a joke. AJ Styles is like Cena and he will be champion this year. Also what I hope might happen is we see who is the leader of Aces and Eights. Good show but shitty parts. See you all for WWE Smackdown.






Gene The Grappler

WWE Raw Review 3/4/13 - Old School Raw.......

Note: This is Old School WWE Raw. They went back to the old school format. Old logo and everything. This is deemed the gimmie show but I hope we see something cool or something different. I want to see if Undertaker comes back. I want to see something good. I also hope we will see something to setup Wrestlemania. Here's old school WWE Raw.

Opening Segment: Undertaker is shown before the show starts. CM Punk, RKO, Sheamus, and Big Show all come out to challenge the Undertaker for WM 29 and beat the streak.
(Best opening segment ever. Not only want to see all these men fight but their arguements to face the Dead Man is valid. I wanted to see something different and this is different. Taker is 20-0 at WM. No streak is as important as this one. I know who is going to win but I also hope to see this play out.)

Match#1: Antonio Cesaro vs. Ryback
Winner: Ryback
(Same match, different day. Nothing to see here except for the exchange with Ryback and Mark Henry. )

Match#2: Mark Henry vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Mark Henry
(This was a squash match. Like I said before: Thank you Ryback for stepping up to Mark Henry.)

Match#3: Dolph Ziggler w/ AJ Lee and Big E vs. The Miz w/ Ric Flair
Winner: The Miz
(This was a good match to say the least. With Flair there it was funny. Good match and good way to bring in Flair. Big E is funny to see. Good match and good ending.)

Match#4: Jack Swagger vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan w/ Dusty Rhodes and Sgt. Slaughter.
Winner: No Contest
(Swagger beat up all the old men. Moving on because this angle with Swagger is just racist and bigoted. Moving on.)

Match#5: Team Hell No vs. Prime Time Players
At Ringside: Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase
Winner: Team Hell No
(The match was ok but Ted DiBiase made it funny at the end of the match. Typical match with these men. Nothing new except for Million Dollar Man being there. Daniel Bryan took $100. )

Match#6: Brodus Clay, Sweet T. (Tensai), and Honky Tonk Man vs. 3MB
Winner: Brodus Clay, Sweet T. (Tensai), and Honky Tonk Man
(This was the worst match ever. I loved seeing Honky Tonk Man but Sweet T. Hell no. Tensai is about to leave and I hope he does not come back to WWE. 3MB is a fucking joke as well. Moving on. )

Match#7: Fandango vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: No Contest
(Thank you Johnny for wasting my time. Fucking bullshit gimmick.)

Match#8: Alberto Del Rio vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(This was a good match to see again. Nothing new to see about this match.)

Match#9: New Age Outlaws vs. Primo and Epico
Winner: New Age Outlaws
(This was the shit right here. No DX but we got the best team of the attitude era. Good match. Both old men can go still. Epico and Primo are jokes.)

Main Event: Randy Orton vs. Sheamus vs. Big Show vs. CM Punk - Fatal Four Way to face Undertaker @ WM 29
Winner: CM Punk

After The Match: Undertaker comes out to a face to face confrontation with CM Punk.
(Best ending ever on Raw!!!! Not only was I right to guess who won but seeing Taker is making me happy to see WM 29. Also happy to see something better than bullshit. Thank you WWE for this glimpse of happiness.)


Final Thought: I did not talk about Cena/Rock II or Triple H/Brock II but that will come later. This show was better than expected. No real bullshit except the Sweet T crap. WWE is going to make this a good Wrestlemania to see. We will see good matches and good angles to make the matches more interesting. I don't have a lot to bitch about but then again, Fandango being a pussy and Sweet T is enough to make me fucking pissed. See you all for TNA Impact and the hope to know who is the leader of Aces and Eights.

WWE Smackdown Review 3/1/13

Note: Well this should be a good show. We will see old school on WWE Raw this week but this should be the show to make things right for WWE. I hope to see something shaping up for Wrestlemania because it is like they are going to throw shit together at the last minute. I just want to see something good to build up Wrestlemania. As for this show, well I hope to see something good tonight. Here's WWE Smackdown..........

Opening Segment/Match#1: Alberto Del Rio vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(Wow! No BS on WWE Smackdown. They went to the first match and also lumped in the trash talk at the same time. This is a rare thing. I was happy to see a match start the show. Why is the champion fucking starting the show? What the fuck? ADR is a main eventer not a jobber. He has the fucking title. This was a good match but should have ended the show not began it. Also, WWE needs to stop making the WHC title a joke. We know that Vince hated WCW for years. He is fucking up the WHC title by making it a joke.)

Match#2: The Miz vs. Antonio Cesaro - 2 of 3 Falls Match for the WWE United States Title
Winner: Antonio Cesaro
(This was a fucking joke. We know that The Miz fucked up with CM Punk. Why is he being played as a bitch? Also why is Cesaro still fucking champion? This match was a good classic match but it was wasted. Not only did we not see Miz get a point but we basically saw a fucked up match. Cesaro needs to drop the title and The Miz needs to be in the main event again. One more thing......No more figure four leg lock!!!!! Go back to the other finisher, Miz.)

Match#3: Darren Young and Titus O'Neil vs. Kane and Daniel Bryan
Winner: Darren Young and Titus O'Neil
(This was a rematch that did not need to happen. This was a fucking joke. Moving on. )
Match#4: Heath Slater vs. Sin Cara
Winner: Sin Cara
(No comment. Jobber match before the main event. What the fuck?)

Main Event: Randy Orton vs. Big Show
Winner: No Contest
(Well I wanted to see this match end clean but thank you for changing this match. The Shield is my saviours. They came, they tried to fight RKO and Sheamus but it was Big Show that basically KO Roman Reigns then chokeslams RKO. Sheamus KOs Big Show with the Brogue Kick. Chaos ends the show.)

Final Thoughts: Well this was something to have been seen. I did forget the bullshit with Fandango but that's because he is Johnny Curtis with a shitty gimmick. This show had some crazy moments. The end was chaos in motion. The beginning was good but should have been the end. Now we see if WWE Raw is real old school or bullshit. See you all for Old School Raw.

TNA Impact Review 2/28/13

Note: This is first show after being in overseas for the past month. We got through four weeks of no Jeff Hardy. No Impact Zone. And no small crowd feel. I want to come into this show with hope and glee but I am not. I am going to see the same shit in this show. I want more. I hope for more. So with that said, let's watch the show and hope for no hardcore bullshit. Here's TNA Impact.........

Opening Segment: Bully Ray introduces Jeff Hardy. They will face for the TNA Heavyweight Title. Kaz and Daniels come out to interrupt. They fight and we move on.
(Well at least Bully Ray was honest in saying that he did not deserve the title shot. Jeff Hardy is a joke. Thank you Kaz and Daniels for interrupting because it was getting boring. Bully Ray is not a good face. He's a better heel. I am shock to to say that. Hardy should have left while he can. )

Match#1: Tara vs. Velvet Sky - Knockout Title Match
Winner: Velvet Sky
(So where to begin with this match? Tara should stil be champion. Why? Because it is a joke to see a model become champ. I hate that TNA is not using real wrestlers in the KO division. This was a joke. I actually wanted to see Tara win in back. I am glad that Gail Kim is going to face Velvet at the PPV. I hope she win.)

Math#2: Austin Aries vs. Hernandez
Winner: Austin Aries
(Well this was said to see because Hernadez should have won. However, thank you Aries for winning because it was hard to watch this match without getting bored. Aries won, moving on. )

Match#3: Kenny King vs. Rob Van Dam - X-Division Title Match
Winner: Kenny King - New Champion
(THANK YOU FUCKING GOD!!!!!!!!!! Ding Dong......Paycheck player is dead. Kenny King is the new king of the X Division. I am happy for this because we will change in the X Division. That means we will see good matches again. Maybe we will see better matches now that we won't see RVD and Kid Kash. I was so happy I was crying with Kenny King. )

Match#4: Ivelisse Velez vs. Lei’D Tapa - Gut Check Challenge
Winner: Ivelisse Velez
(This is the future of the KO division. Holy shit......This was a real match. No bullshit!!!! I actually was into this match and also was getting aroused. Velez is a fighter. I have never seen a woman choke out anyone. This was the best match on TNA in a long time. Thank you ladies.)

Main Event: Kaz and Daniels (Bad Influence) vs. Bully Ray and Jeff Hardy
Winners: Jeff Hardy & Bully Ray
(Well this was actually a good match to see. Two former tag team champions working together is good for viewers but then again, I wanted to see chaos. This was a good match. I love seeing Daniels and Kaz in the main event. This was a good match to see after the so so mess during their overseas trip.)

After the match: Kurt Angle runs rought shot over the Aces and Eights. He beats up everyone there. He sees the main man of Aces and Eights. He unmaskes him. We don't see his face. Aces and Eights beat up Angle. End of the show.
(I hope we do find out who the leader is because Aces and Eights in getting old. I hope it is someone we don't expect. I want to see more Aces and Eights. I want see more people join because we don't need to see jobbers and rookies.)

Final Thoughts: Well this is better show than the shit over seas. I got more and was happy with the little I got to see. I think once TNA travels we will see better shows. TNA is using the old WWE Raw schedule to do live one week then tape the next week. So I hope we see more good things from TNA. See you all for WWE Smackdown.
