Note: As we gear up for the MITB PPV, I hope tonight's WWE Smackdown is good for so many reasons. I know people tend to hope for good things with WWE Smackdown. I want good things with WWE Smackdown because if you subtract all the WWE Raw recaps, this can be a good show. I also want Smackdown to be like it once was prior to the PG era. I know we will see some decent matches and also some decent answers to some questions with MITB PPV. So here's Smackdown.....
Match#1: Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow - Dublin Street Fight
Winner: Sheamus
(Will someone please explain to me why street fights have to have themes? I think it is funny since last night I was bitching about TNA starting their show with a title match but after seeing this, I will stop bitching about title matches to start the show. I will bitch about seeing Sheamus so fucking early in the show. I think The Miz is off the hook for what he did to piss off Vince. Moving on.)
Match#2: Natalya vs. AJ Lee
Winner: Natalya
(Well this was a welcome change to seeing shitty divas matches on TV. I also want to say that I am happy to see Natalya actually wrestle. I wish this was a good match but we all know that Natalya had to carry AJ Lee this time around. I also loved the thing with Kaitlyn coming out as AJ Lee. Fucking funny as hell. )
Match#3: Randy Orton vs. Kane
Winner: Randy Orton
(Well the good thing is that this was a good match for the most part. I love the back and forth between these men. I will admit that this was close to being a classic because we have seen them wrestle for titles and also for #1 contenderships. I hated that Daniel Bryan was out there because I don't want to see him go back to being heel.)
Match#4: Ryback vs. Justin Gabriel
Winner: Ryback
(Well he's back to killing jobbers. SSDD back in effect with Ryback. Moving on.)
Match#5: The Usos and Christian vs. The Shield
Winners: The Usos and Christian
(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?!?!?!?!?!?!?! So you are making The Shield job now? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This is not fucking happening. I am sorry but this is fucking bullshit. WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)
Main Event: Alberto Del Rio's fiesta for winning the WHC title. He was being a total heel. Same with Ricardo. His fiesta was interrupted by Dolph Ziggler.
(Best ending ever on Smackdown in a short while. I think I am happier with ADR and RR as heels again. I say that because it was rough to see ADR as a face. Even his promos are better to deal with. This whole fiesta thing was cool because it makes fun of the whole bullshit of his mexican aristocrat gimmick. Also his promo in spanish was funny. I am fluent in spanish and laughed all the way through. Ziggler coming out at the end made it worth the time. Thank you WWE for this.)
Final Thoughts: Well this was not a great show but it was better than most. I will admit that this show did make some sense and this show did not focus on the shit that happened on Raw. However was pissed with the MITB compertitors for Smackdown. Basically, this was the mid carder version of MITB match. I think Smackdown's MITB match at the PPV will do better because of the all the young talent. Well at least this week did not suck as much. See you all for WWE Raw.

TNA Impact Review 6/27/13
Note: I hope this is a good TNA show tonight. I say that because I don't want the matches to suck or see some SSDD in TNA. WWE is trying to change the way their shows to finally compete with TNA. I am happy to see matches for BFG series. I am also excited to see Big O in the Gut Check Contest. I guess I might get my wish. Here's TNA Impact........
Match#1: Suicide vs. Kenny King vs. Chris Sabin - X Division Title Match
Winner: Suicide - New Champion
(Here we go again....Why is this the first fucking match? I am so pissed that this was the match to start the show. I know people have explain to me why this is so. However, I think people can be more entertained with something that is not a championship match. This was the best match of the show. I say that because this is why I love the X Division in TNA. No slow pace and lots of fast pace action. I loved that Suicide won until Hogan and the real Suicide came out. Nice swerve!)
Match#2: Ryan Howe vs. Adam Ohriner - Gut Check Match
Winner: Adam Ohriner
(So Big O got his 15 minutes of fame. Of course he could not use the Big O gimmick because I think it is partially trademarked in WWE. Plus he was featured in WWE vids with Zack Ryder. Anyways, this was a good match because basically Big O is a beast. I loved that this basically was a squash match. The other guy was just there to look like shit. Hopefully Big O is on the TNA roster.)
Match#3: Velvet Sky vs. Mickie James - Knockout Title Match
Winner: Mickie James
(I am so fucking happy to see that Mickie won this match. I think it is time to let Mickie be a queen bitch and show off that she still can go. Fuck Velvet! She's a fake wrestler anyways.)
Match#4: Magnus vs. Bobby Roode - BFG Series Match
Winner: Magnus - 7pts
(Magnus is going to end up in my final four people in the BFG series. I loved this match because Magnus as a face is good for TNA. Plus Magnus being a face is better to deal with than him being heel and sucking. I know I sound like a kid but I am proving that wrestling is not something complicated to follow.)
Main Event: Mr. Anderson vs. Samoa Joe - BFG Series Match
Winner: Samoa Joe - 10pts
(Samoa Joe is my other guy to be in the final four of the BFG series. This was looking to be a shitty match but seeing that Joe can get a submission win made up for this match quality. I think we will see this match many more times during the BFG series. Good main event for the most part.)
After The Main Event: Hulk Hogan calls out Suicide. Bully Ray comes out to see who is Suicide. Austin Aries was under the Suicide mask.
(Well I was not mad to see Aries do something to get a title shot. I was not mad to see Bully Ray show he is scared to lose that title. I was happy to see Hogan not trying to fight or wrestle someone. However, this should have been done after the title match. Waiting until the end was bullshit in my book. )
Final Thoughts: I was going to say this show sucked but it did not suck as much. This was not the best TNA Impact but then again, I think Hogan and crew are trying to bring fans in and make their shows more interesting to people. I think it is fitting to see who took over the Suicide character to win the title to face Bully Ray for the TNA Title. I am glad they did not make people wait to see who took over the Suicide character. I think next week should be interesting. I hope that Big O wins gut check. See you all for WWE Smackdown...........

WWE Raw Review 6/24/13
Note: Well it is time to celebrate the life of Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, and his son Daniel. I don't care about how they died or the circumstances in which they died. People cannot judge people because no matter what religion you are, you cannot judge man. So now that we got that shit out of the way, we all know that WWE will not acknowledge Chris Benoit so let's move on from that. Basically, it is time for WWE Raw. We know that we will see another match with Daniel Bryan and RKO. We will see the aftermath of Brock and CM Punk. So time to be entertained.
Match#1: Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton - Part One
Winner: Double DQ
(Well we at least got to see this first because if this was the main event, I would have been pissed. We got to see how this feud will continue. I am not mad because this brings both men back to the main event not the mid card. What's sadder is that this will not be the end of the match or the feud.)
Match#2: Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Sheamus and Christian
Winners: Sheamus and Christian
(I am happy Christian is back to get one more WHC title match. Other than that, this match was boring to me. That's because I have seen this feud gone on long enough. Sheamus is the other Cena in WWE. Rhodes Scholars are jobbers with a brainy gimmick. Boring as fuck. Also ended quick.)
Match#3: Kaitlyn vs. Aksana
Winner: Kaitlyn
(I was happy to see this match. I was happier to see Kaitlyn win. I was excited to see AJ Lee come out as Kaitlyn. AJ Lee made me laugh my ass off. I love how this feud is going on because I love to see actually storytelling in WWE. Not shitty storylines. )
Match#4: Chris Jericho vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner: Chris Jericho
(Well I loved that this was a good match until the end. I was hoping to see ADR lose clean but a DQ ending was better. Ricardo comes to save his boss out. It was funny to see it happen. Dolph Ziggler comes out to attack ADR. Epic fight with ADR and Ziggler then Ziggler and Y2J. Cool match and love the ending.)
Match#5: Ryback vs. Great Khali
Winner: Ryback
(This was total bullshit. Really? Ryback is back to killing jobbers? What the fuck? You mean he can't get a midcard title now? He's back to killing jobbers and also sucking as a heel. Ryback rules?!?!?!?!? Jesus, what idiot came up with that? What is sad to see is Natalya and Hornswoggle walking with Khali. Thank god this match ended quickly. What the fuck?!?!?!?!?!)
Match#6: Tensai and Brodus Clay vs. 3MB vs. The Usos - Triple Threat Match for the #1 Contender for the Tag Team Titles
Winner: The Usos
(Well I finally got to see a clusterfuck of a match. So this is how to see who will face The Shield for the tag titles? This is a big clusterfuck. I cannot believe the Usos won this fucking match. What the fuck is going on with the booking in WWE?Thank god for The Shield coming down to face the challengers. Also thank god for the hype. )
Match#7: Darren Young vs. CM Punk
Winner: CM Punk
(Well this was a weird match to see. First of all, CM Punk is not a midcarder. Why is CM Punk facing Darren Young? This was a weird match because Young was close to winning the match. Holy shit! Also with what's going on between CM Punk and Heyman, this was even weirder. Add in Curtis Axel coming to save CM Punk after the match was fucking crazy. Best fucking match of the night for completely different reasons.)
Main Event: Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton - Street Fight
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(Thank god this shit is over. My god, I was watching the news while this match was on. I turn back to see Daniel Bryan making RKO tap out. My god, the lengths WWE will go to put someone over. I guess the good old days of hyping someone over time is replaced by quick bullshit. We all know that DBry is getting a title shot soon. So this was a good match to showcase his talents but also his heart. So thank god this did not end with total bullshit. )
Final Thoughts: Was it me or was there a shitload of WWE commercials tonight? I did not mind the commercial with The Call because that's still funny. However, the Sheamus shit is lame now. AJ Lee selling toys was hot. I guess WWE can sell shit on USA network now. What the fuck ever!?!?!? So we get past that shit, this was actually a good show even with some of the crazy shit seen on it. I am glad I left during the Cena bullshit because that was SSDD. CM Punk segment was the best drama on TV. That made me cry. Seeing Triple H, Vince McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon was worth the viewing pleasure tonight. I love that the WWE Champion MITB match is stacked heavy. All the guys have held the WWE title before. RVD will not be a mid carder. As for Mark Henry, well I never laughed so fucking hard because he had the balls to think his shit last week was good acting. I am glad I was laughing while he was giving his heel speech. The end of the show did help this show out as well. So see you all for TNA Impact.

WWE Smackdown Review 6/21/13
Note: Well after watching the best TNA in a while, it is time to hope this week's Smackdown is better because we don't need a recap of WWE Raw. We need to see the new champions and also see something that could be considered better than shitty. I love Smackdown because it was the better show but since the end of the brand extension, Smackdown has been below a B show. So let's watch Smackdown and see what happens.
Opening Segment: Daniel Bryan makes his way out to the ring. Bryan talks about how he never had a match stopped due to injury. Bryan then suggests they stopped the match because Bryan was considered the weak link. Bryan says Orton should have fought the official's decision instead of "tapping me on the head like a dog." Bryan wants to prove he is not the weak link by defeating Randy Orton tonight. Out comes Randy Orton. Orton says he helped him up out of respect, Bryan says he's patronizing him. Orton says after tonight Bryan will be carried out on a stretcher.
()
Match#1: Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes
Winner: Sheamus
(I change the channel from this match because I hated to see someone like Sheamus act like the other asshole Cena. I am tired of the goofy and silly Sheamus. I liked him better with the attitude and the mean streak. WWE had to make him face because kids liked him. Fuck that shit. At least seeing Damien Sandow beating Sheamus was a good thing to a shitty match.)
Match#2: Curtis Axel vs. Wade Barrett - IC Title Match
Winner: Curtis Axel
(To be honest, I wanted to see this match because it was better off being a regular match not a triple threat match. I also think it is funny to see two heels face each other. The Miz being at ringside was cool because he is about to be done wrestling and about to take on a commentator role soon. This was a good match with very little result. Plus the good thing was this match helped Curtis Axel beat someone cleanly. I know that is funny to say but it is true. )
Match#3: AJ Lee vs. Natalya - Non Title Match
Winner: AJ Lee
(Well this was a bad ass match. I say that because we got to see more submissions and more movement from the women in WWE. I guess WWE is trying to get the women to do more than TNA. Thank god for that. This was not a bad match because AJ Lee and Natty made this so bad ass. Thanks ladies. )
Match#4: Alberto Del Rio vs. Chris Jericho - Non Title Match
Winner: ADR by DQ
(The only good thing was seeing Ziggler beat the shit out of ADR. Also was cool to see Y2J give Ziggler a codebreaker for fucking up the match. This was not a boring match but I guess with ADR being heel again, it is like watching a flea beat up a tick. Bad reference but it made my point. )
Match#5: Christian vs. Drew McIntyre
Winner: Christian
(This was basically a jobber match. Welcome back to the mid card, Christian! Also here is The Shield, they are here to welcome you to Smackdown. Not boring but it was bullshit. Time to end the show with SSDD. )
Main Event: Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Daniel Bryan by Countout
(I hated how this ended on WWE Raw. I really hated how this ended tonight. Why? This is not going to get DB over because it just makes him look weaker and dumber. RKO is playing the part but not a good one. I guess SSDD is back in WWE. )
Final Thoughts: Well I had to avoid the recaps and also the bullshit but this was still a good show. I wanted to see a good show. It was not epic or seperate from WWE Raw. However, this did show matches that was not shown on WWE Raw. I think it is time to get back to the seperate shows and also the seperate storylines again. I could do a better job of booking WWE Smackdown as a seperate entity. See you all for WWE Raw.

TNA Impact Review 6/20/13 - Open Fight Night
Note: Today is the official start of the BFG series in TNA. Last year's blog/review of this PPV from TNA gave me close to 180 views and also many accolades. So this year's should be epic because I already pick AJ Styles to win this because he was fucked over last year. I hope I am right. Other than that, TNA has to be better tonight because WWE Raw was good and was better than the after WM edition. So time to gear up and time to get ready for Open Fight Night......TNA Impact is on.
Match#1: Jospeh Parks vs. Mr. Anderson of Aces and Eights - BFG Series Match
Winner: Mr. Anderson - 7 pts.
(Well I am glad this match was the opener. I say that because it is sad that Anderson left WWE to be at TNA. Anderson was not doing well in WWE but in TNA he is better off. Even before joining Aces and Eights, he was in the main event picture. Don't care for Joseph Parks because waiting for Abyss to come back. )
Match#2: Austin Aries vs. Jay Bradley (Gut Check Tournament Winner) - BFG Series Match
Winner: Austin Aries - 7pts.
(This was pointless to me because Aries had this match won before the dumbass called him out. Aries is not a big man but he gets the job done. What's funny is that seeing this match is like watching kids play a fighting game. Whomever mashes the button fastest is going to win. This was a mash up of seeing Aries take someone to school. School's out. )
Match#3: Hernandez vs. Daniels - BFG Series Match
Winner: Daniels - 7pts.
(Hernandez was suppose to win. Hernandez should have gotten the points. So what the fuck just happened? I was watching but blinked and when I did.......Daniels won. Wow, I guess I missed something but good job Daniels for this upset win. I think I am going to not bet against Daniels ever again. It was a good match to say the least. )
Match#4: Kaz vs. Magnus - BFG Series Match
Winner: Magnus - 10pts.
(This is the second match of the night that was quick and fast. I mean I love quick jobber matches but this wasn't a jobber match. Magnus used a submission which shocked the fuck out of me. I wish I could say that I liked this match but I knew Kaz was not going to win this match. At least it was funny to see Kaz grow some balls.)
Match#5: Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles - BFG Series Match
Winner: Draw - Each gets 2pts.
(This is the match I wanted to see because this is a match of the founding fathers of the X Division and TNA itself. AJ Styles is my favorite for this series because of what happened last year. He was screwed out of the title picture. He took on this loner role. I relate to this and also relate to the fact that he is only in the BFG series to win the title. I am not taking anything away from Samoa Joe. He is a beast in TNA. He was screwed out of the main event as well. The way this ended was not bad because this was the best match of the night.)
Main Event: Bobby Roode vs. Jeff Hardy - BFG Series Match
Winner: Jeff Hardy - 7pts.
(At first, I hated that this was the main event. I say that because I do not like that Hardy is like Cena in WWE. He is the most overrated guy in TNA. I can say that because TNA allowed him to stay rather than to leave and be like his brother and job to indy guys. I don't like Hardy because he signed to stay in TNA because he knows he will be a midcarder in WWE. As for Roode, I hated him all of last year and I changed my tune because Roode is the best heel in TNA. That match was bullshit because Roode should have won. Here we go with the lovefest with TNA and Hardy. )
After The Main Event: Aces and Eights leader and president Bully Ray comes out. He calls out Brooke Hogan to talk. The music of the revamped Main Event Mafia starts with Sting steps out first. Sting calls out Bully Ray. Bully Ray calls out the rest of Aces and Eights. They are laid out by the other members of Main Event Mafia. Out comes Kurt Angle. Angle lock on Bully Ray. End of show.
(Well I think this is going to be interesting because now we got someone to fight Aces and Eights. Main Event Mafia is back. Am I happy? Not really. I guess that is because I think Aces and Eights is like NWO and Main Event Mafia is the Four Horsemen. So SSDD via WCW playbook. )
Final Thoughts: The ending should have been after the last match. Why? It is because unlike WWE, TNA should have ended the best show with a good match. Even though I think the match was shitty but that should have ended the show. Speak of the rest of the show, well I am happy to see some good matches for BFG series. I loved the AJ/Joe match because it was classic TNA. The whole BS with the KO division was a front to show off Brooke and outdo the best KO match with a rematch of Taryn Terrell and Gail Kim. Basically, I hope TNA does not ruin things just as BFG series is starting. See you all for WWE Smackdown. Let's see if this show does not recap WWE Raw.

Here we go with the lovefest with TNA and Hardy. )

WWE Raw Review 6/17/13
Note: I said that the PPV last night was not bad but then again, it was not a major PPV. I was hoping for a lot but then again I got more from the mid card then the actual main event. With that said, I am happy to see this WWE Raw because it is after a PPV and also hoping that this show is better than the PPV. So time to watch WWE Raw.
Opening Segment: Alberto Del Rio starts the show with a monster heel promo. Out comes CM Punk. CM Punk challenges ADR for a match tonight. Vickie and Brad comes out to interrupt. The match is official for tonight.
(I am happy to see ADR go heel. I am happier to see CM Punk start the show not fucking Cena. This is what I am talking about with pleasing the fans. We get to see what we want. CM Punk as the monster face and ADR back to being the asshole he was before. Thank you WWE. )
Match#1: Wade Barrett vs. Christian
Winner: Christian
(Holy shit!!!! I am actually happy to see him back in WWE. I guess it is time to show the peeps that he's back. I do feel sorry for Wade because he just got fucked over and out of a IC title shot tonight. I am actually shocked that to see him back because this is the thing that Smackdown might need to get back to being the second show not a recap show.)
Match#2: Team Rhodes Scholars vs. Sheamus - 2 on 1 Handicap Match
Winners: Team Rhodes Scholars
(I was about to tag this match SSDD. I was about to change the channel and move the fuck on. What the fuck just happened here? Holy shit, I might have got some respect for Cody and Damien. Damien is the brain and Cody was just the patsy. This was not a good match but we did see something different and fresh. Thank you WWE for changing the match and also the ending. Nice touch.)
Match#3: Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton
(What the fuck?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This was a NO DQ match and it was called because the ref and the doc thought Daniel Bryan was hurt. I am so fucking confused because this could have ended cleanly. So you make Curtis Axel win but count-out in a no DQ match but Daniel Bryan can't continue because he might have got hurt. What the fuck? There goes Bryan's push. What the fuck!?!?!?!?!?)
Match#7: Curtis Axel vs. Sin Cara
Winner: Curtis Axel
(Beating Sin Cara is ok but thank god there were no botches. What the fuck am I saying? There were botches. This was a lame match but funny to see because Axel had this won before the bell rang. SSDD with a new package.)
Main Event: Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk
Winner: CM Punk
(Well I got to see a decent match. I am not mad at the ending. I love the way we saw the return of Ziggler to beat up on ADR. That was coming because Ziggler is going to be face and ADR is back to being the heel he is good at doing. However, we got to see Brock Lesnar. So I guess it is time to see something fresh for SummerSlam. Thank you WWE for this fresh change.)
Final Thoughts: Well Vickie is going to lose her mind because you got three people telling her what to do. That was best shit of TV. Seeing Vince, Stephanie, and Triple H run rough shot was the shit. Seeing CM Punk dump Heyman made me cry. Seeing Christian back in the ring made me happy to witness that. Mark Henry is the fucking man. He had people assuming he was done. He is not done. That's what he do! Well we did get to see Brock come back to challenge CM Punk. No one leaves Heyman. Basically, this was the best Raw since WM 29. However, all I can say is that TNA might put on a better show. So see you all for TNA Impact.

WWE Payback PPV Review 6/16/13
Note: Well unlike the major PPVs of WWE, this feel like a non existent PPV. I wonder why WWE cannot just survive with four seasonal PPV. Anyway, it is sad that I was close to paying for this PPV. Thank god I came to my senses. So what are we suppose to be excited for? I hope to see CM Punk come back but that's 50/50. Don't care for Cena vs. Ryback because nothing will change for that shit. I am also confused with the pre-show matches and more confused with the title matches except for the major title matches. I know we will see Ziggler vs. Del Rio. I hope Ziggler keeps the WHC. I just hope this is not the night I lose my patience and go HAM on WWE PPVs and booking. So here's WWE Payback........
Pre-Show/Match#1: Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Sheamus
(Well I am kind of glad to see someone else start the PPV that is not The Miz. I love that this match was the preshow match because this basically was a shitty match. I guess I will say that because Sheamus is a jobber killer and Damien Sandow is semi jobbing. So this was just a shitty match but perfect to start the show. So thank god this was not in the main PPV.)
Match#2 - WWE Intercontinental Title Match: Curtis Axel vs. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Curtis Axel - New IC Champ
(Well let's see if I can follow WWE logic with this match. So you stop pushing Fandango because he gets a concussion. So instead of seeing a repeat of WM 29 with The Miz and Barrett, you add Curtis Axel because he is the new hot thing. So we get to see this match first because it is going to be a hot match. Now, I follow the logic so far but this is where I lose it. So you mean to tell me that if Fandango was in this match, he would have been the new IC champ. Instead of getting that, we see the son of Mr. Perfect win the title he had for years and on Father's Day. I am not upset with this but just wonder if this is temporary or maybe there is a plan with this. Either way, Heyman has another champion. )
Match#3 - WWE Divas Title Match: AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn
Winner: AJ Lee - New Divas Champ
(I was going to attempt to watch this seriously but after thinking about what led to this match, I had to watch this as a match. I love that for the first time in years, we saw a good storyline that took some time to build up to. We had the best friends that was separated by love. AJ bounced from guy to guy while Kaitlyn was working to be champ. AJ Lee is the true diva in this match because she has been ready to be champ for years. I love both ladies but AJ Lee is better on the mic and also AJ is playing a role. The real AJ is basically what nerds been dreaming of for years. Good job WWE with this match. Thank you for not fucking this up.)
Match#4 - WWE United States Title Match: Kane vs. Dean Ambrose
Winner: Dean Ambrose by Count Out
(Well I wish I could say this surprise me, but this didn't. I think it is because we all know that The Shield is the shit right now in the WWE. So what bothers me is that Ambrose could have won this match clean. This could have been a good match because both guys can go. So why did this match end the way it did? It is because WWE creative fucked this match up. )
Match#5 - World Heavyweight Championship Match: Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Alberto Del Rio - New World Heavyweight Champion
(NO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck? Really? So you could have had Ziggler run with this title for the summer but because he had a concussion, WWE creative gave the title back to ADR. Why? You mean you couldn't give Ziggler the benefit of the doubt and let him run Smackdown. I wanted to see Ziggler be the champion he should be. Instead, he is back to jobbing and also putting others over. What the fuck WWE?)
Match#6: CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: CM Punk
(This was the match that I wanted to see. I wanted to see this match because this wasn't for a title but the epic return of CM Punk. This was the one time Y2J had to job to get CM Punk over. Watching this match, we can see the seeds that were planted that CM Punk is going to be a face not heel. That would explain why we might see Heyman get another guy in his team. This was the best match of the night. This made me happy to be a WWE fan. Seeing CM Punk home in Chicago was epic. Thank you WWE for this return. )
Match#7 - WWE Tag Team Title Match: Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns
Winners: Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns
(I am going to move on from this match because this is true SSDD in motion. Moving on........)
Main Event - Three Stages of Hell for the WWE Title: Ryback vs. John Cena
Stage One: Lumberjack Match
Stage One Winner: Ryback
Stage Two: Tables Match
Stage Two Winner: John Cena
Stage Three: Ambulance Match
Winner: John Cena
(What was the fucking point of this match? This was pointless. Why? It is because WWE creative fucked up a good thing with this match. We all know that Super Cena cannot lose the title or a one on one match. Ryback was made heel to be someone that could take out Cena. This was a pointless match. Bullshit. Just total bullshit. )
Final Thoughts: What's sad to me is that WWE is trying to make something for the mid carders and jobbers. We got to see some good changes with the IC title and also the Divas title. The Shield is still strong and powerful. I wanted to see some changes in the major titles but we got to see ADR be WHC again because Ziggler got hurt. Cena had to outdo Superman this weekend because the new Superman movie was #1. So basically, this was not a total shitty PPV. However, next month's PPV will be better. Especially since we will see RVD back in WWE. One problem: He will be a midcarder and jobbing to the kids ASAP. See you all for WWE Raw.
Gene The Grappler
Pre-Show/Match#1: Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow

WWE Smackdown Review 6/14/13
Note: Well after watching a good TNA show, it is time to see how WWE will convince me that Payback is not going to suck. I just hope tonight's show will not make me change channels or skip the show after the first hour. WWE is known for pissing off people before a PPV. See WM29 and possibly this year's Royal Rumble. Well let's watch WWE Smackdown and see if they can salvage fans and get people to watch this PPV this weekend.
Opening Segment: Daniel Bryan comes out to kick off SmackDown. He cuts a promo and is very over with the crowd. Kane comes out and Bryan says he's breaking up Team Hell No so he can be tag champions with Randy Orton. Kane says they won't win. Bryan asks if it's because Kane thinks he's the weakest link. Kane chokes Bryan and Orton comes out to stop him. Orton says if Kane hurts Bryan, he hurts his team for Sunday. Orton threatens to RKO Kane. Bryan says he doesn't need help. The Shield appears on the big screen and laughs. They love the problems going on in the ring.
(This was both comedic and also a good way to start the show. We all know that Daniel Bryan is about to get the push to the main event again. This also shows that going into the PPV that Smackdown is not going to have a strong card to support the shitty Raw side of the card. Good opening segment. )
Match#1: Sheamus vs. Antonio Cesaro
Winner: Sheamus
(After the best opening segment in recent history, this was the shittiest match of Smackdown. SSDD in action. Moving on. )
Match#2: Heath Slater vs. The Great Khali
Winner: Heath Slater
(Well I think I have something to go HAM about tonight. Where to begin with this shit? I know that WWE has a bad habit of allowing good talent go to waste. There have been times where shitty talent becomes main events. This match just proved to me that Vince McMahon screwed the pooch. First of all, why did this match happened on WWE Smackdown? Why did Slater win? Finally, what the fuck was this match going to prove? This was the most shittiest thing ever on TV. This was so bad that I might have lost faith in WWE for the present. )
Match#3: Alberto Del Rio and Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langston
Winners: ADR and Y2J
(Thank god this match made me love wrestling again. I was happy to see Ziggler back in the ring not outside the ring. I was happy to see that the added attention has not gone to Big E's head. I was happy to see ADR and Y2J click as a team. There was no asscheek popping out. This was a good match. Loved how it started and loved how it ended. Thank you WWE for this rare gem. )
Match#4: Aksana vs. Kaitlyn
Winner: No Contest
(Holy shit! My sexy she beast is pissed. I loved how WWE made the whole secret admirer angle worth the wait. Also loved how AJ is being more of an evil bitch. Kaitlyn was alright but now it is clear that Kaitlyn is better than average. This was actually better than seeing them wrestle. I will be sad to see Kaitlyn lose the title to AJ but then again, seeing them in the ring might be FAP worthy.)
Match#5: Curtis Axel vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Curtis Axel
(Why? Nothing against Curtis Axel, Wade Barrett or The Miz but why is WWE trying to kill the IC title. This match was basically the IC contenders showing off before the PPV. I love the IC title because it was the workhorse title. This was the equivalent to the X Division title in TNA. This would lead to a title shot. Now, it is a joke. People don't even remember the last triple crown winner in WWE. CM Punk is a possible contender but now the IC title is shit. So moving on because this whole thing was sad. )
Main Event: Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan beat Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose
Winners: Team RK-Hell No (Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan)
(I am going to go to the end because this match was so good that speaking of it might make me change my mind. Thank you WWE for this gem. )
Final Thoughts: Well this is another show where the ending saves the show. I think seeing The Shield lose was a good thing because of the dysfunctionality of Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan. As for the rest of the show, well that would depend on the constant recapping and also the constant lack of what's to come. This weekend's PPV is called Payback but I wish it was called SSDD. See you all for the PPV. By the way, new WWE drinking game. Do a shot for each time the WWE App is mentioned or when they adverstise for someone else.

TNA Impact Review 6/13/13
Note: Unlike on WWE TV where they are getting ready for a somewhat shitty PPV, in TNA we are gearing up for the best in my opinion PPV of 2013. Bound For Glory should be interesting. People might be surprised with tonight's show because I am looking that this show as a primer to something better. So let's watch TNA Impact to see what surprises we might see.
Match#1: Kaz and Daniels vs. Gunner & James Storm - Bound for Glory Series Qualifying Match
Winners: Kazarian and Daniels
(This was an interesting way to start the show. Tag team match to get two guys into the series tournament is creative. This was going to be interesting as a tag team match but the added stipulation made this good TV. I watched this match from beginning to end because unlike WWE, this is what fans want to see more of. Good match that mean something. I was sad to see the winners but Bad Influence in the BFG series would be good for business.)
Match#2: Crimson vs. Joseph Parks - Bound for Glory Series Qualifying Match
Winner: Joseph Parks
(I miss Crimson because he was a good heel. I miss Crimson because he was young and could be a good champion. This match was bullshit for many reasons. One of which is the fact that it is time to end the character, Joseph Parks. We need Abyss back and also we need to see Abyss doing more than come and go. Bullshit!!!!!! This was bullshit!!!!)
Match#3: Magnus vs. Rob Terry vs. Kenny King vs. Matt Morgan - Bound for Glory Series Qualifying Match
Winner: Magnus
(Holy shit! I think this was maybe a dark horse match. This looked like a clusterfuck but it was a hidden gem. I think TNA is good for matches like this. Why? It is because WWE is scared to showcase talent and also scared to show how good of a roster they have. This was a match that I would love to see again for a title or even a possible X Division match. )
Match#4: Eric Young vs. Austin Aries - Bound for Glory Series Qualifying Match
Winner: Austin Aries
(Just like Crimson and Abyss, we need to see more of EY. I'm not mad that AA won but I am mad that EY is basically The Rock of TNA. He has a TV show and also some other projects. I guess this was a good match but hated that EY is gone after this.)
Match#5: Devon vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Wes Brisco vs. Garett Bischoff vs. Knux vs. Doc - Battle Royal Bound for Series Qualifying Match
Winner: Mr. Anderson
(This was funny as fucking hell. I almost though this was going to be a real thing. This was a slap in the face of Hogan. I am going to move on because it is sad to see this shit and also funny to see Aces and Eights do silly shit now.)
Main Event: Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles - Bound for Glory Series Qualifying Match
Winner: AJ Styles
(I told people that AJ Styles is going to be in the BFG series. People don't understand that last year AJ Styles lost to James Storm. AJ Styles' new gimmick is the end result of what happened after BFG. So it is fitting that he would be back in the series with a goal to be the #1 contender again. Didn't care for the aftermatch shit with Angle, Rampage and Aces and Eights. )
Final Thoughts: I was happy to see TNA gear up for BFG. I was happy to see Crimson come back. I was happy to see this not suck tonight. My god, TNA might be better than WWE. I guess this is the time of year when TNA becomes a better promotion. We will see. I just hope that TNA will get the titles back into the picture soon. I really want to see someone like Chris Sabin in action for next week. Well going to bed. See you all for WWE Smackdown. Ugh, Payback is going to suck.

WWE Raw Review 6/10/13
Note: Well seeing that this past weekend on Smackdown we actually saw a good main event plus we are seeing the second comming of Daniel Bryan, I hope tonight's show will be something we will not forget. So there won't be any CM Punk sightings. However we will see Dolph Ziggler come back. We will see Triple H vesus Curtis Axel. Plus we hope to see how is the admirer of Kaitlyn. Too bad it is not me. So here we go, time to watch WWE Raw.........
Match#1 Part 1: Triple H vs. Curtis Axel
Winner: Curtis Axel by DQ
Match#1 Part 2: Triple H vs. Curtis Axel
Winner by Forfeit: Curtis Axel
(Where to begin with this shit? Well this helps Axel be undefeated but the ways he wins are jokes and just bullshit. As for Paul Heyman, well he might be happy this shitty experiment is working. Triple H is the COO of WWE. Does he need to wrestle? Not really. Seeing the whole McMahon family feud is not sad but good TV. This is not how Mr. Perfect would want to see his son as a joke.)
Match#2: Kane vs. Dean Ambrose
Winner: Kane by DQ
(Well this could have been an epic match if this ended cleanly. I am sensing that Kane is a midcarder but not by choice. Dean Ambrose is a better US champion because he is seen on TV more plus he's the leader of a good faction right now. I am conflicted because I want The Shield to be popular and gain momentum but I know that WWE will make them a joke in a few more months. So either way, this might be the best thing seen on TV right now. )
Match#3: The Miz vs. Cody Rhodes
Winner: The Miz
(SSDD in motion. I think I am tired of seeing Miz use the figure four and sick to see him act like he is the shit. He might be awesome but this match was not. Nothing to say about Cody Rhodes. )
Match#3: Chris Jericho vs. Big E Langston
Winner: Chris Jericho
(Well good news is that we got to see Ziggler come back to help his muscle but he also got him to lose as well. This was a good midcard match. Sad though that Y2J is helping the midcard talent be seen and over as well. Good match and hope to see more from this because was tired of seeing ADR and Big E. )
Match#4: Sin Cara vs. Antonio Cesaro
Winner: Antonio Cesaro
(What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? No one wants to see these men wrestle. Moving on. )
Match#5: Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns
Winner: No Contest
(Well this could have been a more epic match if this ended cleanly. I am hope that RKO will become a heel and get out of the midcarder role. Roman Reigns is a better tag team champion because he is seen on TV more and in a good faction right now. I am conflicted because I want The Shield to be popular and gain momentum but I know that WWE will make them a joke in a few more months.)
Match#6: Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(This was the best match of the night. This shit had everything including a clean finish. Holy shit, I though this was a dream. Someone in WWE creative is going to make Dbry into a possible WWE or WHC title holder soon. I love that WWE does listen to their fans every blue moon. I was actually happy to see this because this was better than the other two matches. Good job WWE.)
Match#7: Damien Sandow vs. R-Truth
Winner: Damien Sandow
(What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Moving on.)
Main Event: John Cena and Ryback have a face to face before their match at the PPV this weekend.
(What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What the fuck?!??!?!?!?!?!?!? This was boring!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)
Final Thoughts: Well I am not upset about this show sucking because it did have some moments where it made up for shitty booking. I loved that Vince and Steph are on the show because of rantings and possibly to setup a possible power struggle in the McMahon family. I loved that we actually got to see a storyline with the divas title. AJ Lee and Kaitlyn are my WWE diva crushes. Seeing them in the ring is my wet dream in motion. Hopefully their match last longer than three minutes. Daniel Bryan is on fire. RKO is about to become heel again. Thank god we won't see Fan.....what's his name at the PPV. I just hope the IC title don't become a joke if Axel wins the title. Well off to bed. See you all for TNA Impact. Time to gear up for Bound For Glory.

Gene The Grappler Presents: A Sendoff to The Wrestling Roundtable
Dear Fans of Gene The Grappler:
Well I wanted to do this special entry during the weekend but my work life came first. Anyways, I am doing this special entry for you all to notify you that one of my favorite wrestling related shows on YouTube is no longer on the air for the time being. As many of you know, especially if you read my blogs, I have two shows that I use to promote so to speak. The one that I am going to talk about is Wrestling Roundtable. The show been on Youtube for five years and I been a fan since year two. I loved seeing the host and his panel discuss past and present wrestling related events. Even though they also discuss MMA events and PPVs, I watched for the wrestling. Most of the time, these guys were right about their view of WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH and other wrestling federations.
One of the reasons that Gene The Grappler exist is because I got tired of seeing shitty wrestling and not saying shit about it. Seeing the guys on Wrestling Roundtable and also other places made me break the shell of being just a wrestling fan. Thank god I am not a smart mark. I tend to just watch as it seen and not report stuff. I just watch a match, speak my mind, and move on before I piss myself off. Watching Wrestling Rountable was my outlet to see what the fuck was going on and what could have happened in the past. The host, Eric Santamaria, is not a close friend to me personally but I do feel like he and his panel allow Gene The Grappler to be what it is now.
Finally, I am happy to see something good with wrestling in this show. I mean, it is hard to get a good show on Youtube and also a sucessful show that is for fans of wrestling. With the changing world and what wrestling is to pop culture, Wrestling Roundtable was a constant in my life as a fan of wrestling and also a wrestling blogger. Unlike most of the guys on the show, I have been a fan for over 30 years. I still remember when WWF would only do Saturday morning shows and the occasional weekend latenight. Fans today don't care to remember or know that. With Wrestling Roundtable off Youtube for the time being, it is up to people like myself and other wrestling bloggers and shows to showcase the past and educate them to the future.
So thank you E and crew for your contribution to not only many lives but you and your show was the catalyst for the creation of Gene The Grappler. I hope this is not the end because even in wrestling, the end is just a reboot to something better. Thank you.

WWE Smackdown Review 6/7/13
Note: Well after seeing a decent but shaky TNA Impact, it is time for WWE Smackdown to end the week and also gear up for the new PPV of WWE called Payback. Most people remember when Smackdown was the real B show with good storylines and better wrestling. Some people think Smackdown is a recap show with repeated matches and also a glimmer of new talent. I think Smackdown is still a seperate entity. Even though Cena or anyone that works Mondays would work Smackdown. Anyway, here's WWE Smackdown...........
Opening Segment: The Miz and MizTV with guests - Kane, Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton.
(Where to begin with this shit? Well I guess I am not surprised that this angle with DBry seeking respect is close to CM Punk's seach for respect. Except CM Punk had my respect prior to his title run. DBry is not the weak link. He's about to go HAM on people and I know it is going to lead to seeing an epic match with Cena for the title. Also RKO looks like he's going to be heel soon. Kane might be done with DBry but I hope Team Hell No makes it out of the summer. )
Match#1: Curtis Axel vs. Chris Jericho
Winner: Curtis Axel
(Well I think it is sad to see Joe Henning become something of a joke. As I watch this match, I tried to see if his father would like this. He would not. This would have been a better match if this was for something. This was more so to gain heat for the match with Y2J and CM Punk at the PPV. The ending was funny because people there assumed that CM Punk would be on Smackdown. Silly kids, CM Punk is only on Raw. )
Match#2: Kane vs. Ryback
Winner: Kane by DQ
(This would have been a good match if this was total bullshit. Ryback is going to be facing Cena at the PPV this weekend. We all know that Ryback is going to make statements until the PPV. Kane was just another victim of this dumb feud. Plus Ryback is not making it safe to have a match with. Everytime Ryback uses a table, someone get injured. Ugh.......moving on. )
Match#3: Fandango vs. Zack Ryder
Winner: Fandango
(So why was this on TV? We all know that Fanshimpo is Vince's man crush of the week. We all know that Fanda.......oh is going to be an IC champion soon. This match was pointless. However, thank god Fandizho got injured during this week. So Vince must be looking for a new man crush.)
Main Event: Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns
Winners: Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan by DQ
(I am so glad this was the main event. This was a good match. DBry went HAM on The Shield. This match had action, suspense, chills and thrills. I did not care about the ending because I saw it coming. Also was not surprise to see RKO show signs of a heel turn. So happy for that as well. )
Final Thoughts: For once, the end of the show was better than the actual show. I was happy to see this week's Smackdown end with something better than a recap of WWE Raw. Thank you WWE for this short blessing. All I can say is that this might have been the sunshine in the mess of a week. See you all for WWE Raw. I might have to use the WWE App to actually watch Raw so I can catch up on real TV.

TNA Impact Review 6/6/13
Note: Well I am done gushing about the shitty PPV but I am ready for the bigger PPV of the TNA calendar. Bound For Glory is my favorite TNA PPV. And this year's PPV should be interesting. So let's beging to watch TNA Impact and gear up for not only this PPV in the fall but all the matches that could have an impact on the men involved in it. Here's TNA Impact.........
Match#1: Hernandez vs. Chavo Guerrero - Bound for Glory Series Qualifying Match
Winner: Hernandez
(I am speechless. This was so unfair to see and cannot really comment on this match. Move on.......)
Robbie E vs. Samoa Joe - Bound for Glory Qualifying Match
Winner: Samoa Joe
(I had to change channels because I could not see Robbie E get killed by Samoa Joe. I am a big Samoa Joe fan and basically seeing him kill jobbers is like watching Ryback kill Zack Ryder. At least Samoa Joe got the win. Moving on. )
Match#2: Austin Aries, Bobby Roode and Kenny King vs. James Storm, Gunner, and Chris Sabin
Winners: Chris Sabin, James Storm, and Gunner
(This was not a clusterfuck. I'm shocked. This was weird to see the tag champs and also the x division champ team up. This was actually a good match. I swear that I would mind seeing this match one more time with a stipulation. Tag team titles are relevant again. Same with the X Division. Good match. )
Match#3: Mickie James vs. Taeler Hendrix - Non Title Match
Winner: Mickie James
(The only good thing about this match was that Mickie is showing signs of a heel turn. I love crazy Mickie. This was basically a jobber match for Mickie. Nothing new but the possible heel turn. )
Match#4: Jeff Hardy vs. Bully Ray - Ladder Match (grab the hammer from above the ring)
Winner: Jeff Hardy (?)
(So um, I know I claimed victory to Hardy but only because of the fact that the hammer dropped from the heavens and he had possesion of it. So he won, right? Most people don't think so but I do. Also what a waste of a good ladder match. Title Ladder matches are classic but this was dumb. I might not like Hardy but I respect the crazy shit he has done in wrestling. Other than that, I was not bored but just disappointed. )
After the match: Bully Ray is walking backstage asking, “Where’s my belt?” He continues to walk. He is hurting. Just then, Hulk Hogan comes out from the corner. Hulk has a hammer. Ray is on his hands and knees. Hulk goes to hit him in the back, but Brooke runs in and yells, “NO!” Ray gets up and turns. He sees Hulk. Hulk turns to Brooke. Brooke looks at both of them. Ray slowly stumbles away.
(Ok so most people in the IWC thinks Brooke will join her husband in Aces and Eights. I do as well because it would be perfect. Other than that this was textbook drama. I laughed because Brooke though she could run in heels. Silly blonde. Hogan is still the king of goofy ass looks. Thank god this was the ending because if it was not then I might have had an issue with the above match ending the show.)
Final Thoughts: Well the qualifiers for Bound For Glory has started. That's good for me. This was not a bad show but the first two matches were hard to watch. I could have guessed the endings and the points and still would have time to explain why Sting is scared to be in WWE. So this was not a bad show, but this should have build on the momentum of their last PPV. One more thing: Do I care to see Quinton "Rampage" Jackson in TNA? Fuck yea! However when Angle came out, I was praying that Jackson would face Angle. I will be pissed if Jackson jobs to Angle. So see you all for WWE Smackdown.

WWE Raw Review 6/3/12
Note: Well I had to endure all the people that was drinking the TNA Slammaversary kool aid. People praising TNA for the shit they pulled off. I have said my peace about this PPV. Now history tells us that WWE does everything to gain viewers to WWE by putting on a great Raw. So I hope that is so. Here's WWE Raw and let's hope this is true.
Opening Segment: Stephanie McMahon comes out to stop her husband Triple H from wrestling tonight. Mr. McMahon comes out to support her and also tell the fans to stop booing her. The Shield comes down to the ring. After the break, the start of the first match with The Shield.
(This could have been the best opening segment ever on Raw if they did not fuck up the commercial break. Plus WWE is heavily plugging the fucking app. I have the app and it is not the shit. However, if you had the app then you saw both McMahons leave when The Shield came around the ring. So thank you WWE for fucking up an awesome opening.)
Match#1: The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan
Winners: The Shield
(Well this match was the fucking shit! Why? Well it is because Daniel Bryan was basically going fucking HAM on The Shield. I mean DBry was gaining my attention and my fanship. After this match, I want to see Dbry and CM Punk again. Randy Orton fucked up the best HAM moment of WWE history. Of course that just made DBry look for another match. The Shield was awesome as well. Moving on...... )
Match#2: The Usos vs. Prime Time Players
Winners: The Usos
(What the fuck was this? After the best match ever on WWE Raw, you put on the jobbers? Really WWE? I guess The Usos are getting a push or it was convient. I will move on from this. )
Match#3: Alberto Del Rio vs. Big E Langston
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(Well this was the fifth and hopefully the final match of this series that was to take the attention off of Ziggler. This was fucking funny but cool to see. I never thought I would see the armbar turned into a pin. Well I saw something new and different. I loved this match because of the embarassing ass cheek of Big E. People were posting about going blind seeing a black man's ass cheek in tight wrestling gear. Good match but funny ass cheek moment. )
Match#4: Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes
Winner: Sheamus
(SSDD.....that's all I have to say because this was true SSDD in WWE. )
Match#5: Fandango vs. The Great Khali
Winner: No Contest
(Thank you Fandumbo for ending this horrid match quickly. However, this build up the next match because it was more of a crutch for the IC title situation. So thank Miz and Barrett for the quick build up back to your feud. )
Match#6: The Miz vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: The Miz
(For the love of God, I hope Miz goes back to his other finisher. Seeing him do the figure four is killing. This was a so so match with a sickening ending.)
Match#7: The Bella Twins and AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn, Cameron and Naomi
Winners: Kaitlyn, Cameron and Naomi
(This match prove that 99% of men were FAP to this match. I was not because I wanted to see if this lasted longer than three minutes. Sadly, it was short and sweet. What made me laugh is that we have a Divas champion but no competition for her. What pisses me off is that the Bellas have a TV show. Why? I don't want to see fake bitches. If I want that, I can watch the other fake bitch show. )
Match#8: Ryback vs. Daniel Bryan
Winner: Daniel Bryan by DQ
(Dbry goes HAM on Ryback. Ryback overpowers him. DBry goes HAM again. Ryback says fuck it and takes him out with a table. Cena comes to save. This match was good until Cena came to save him. Also having Ryback be a heel is dumber. Good match with a shitty ending. Damn you WWE. )
Main Event - No DQ Match: Curtis Axel vs. John Cena
Winner: Curtis Axel by Count Out
(What the fuck!!!!! What the fuck!!!! NO WWE!!!!!! What the fuck!!!!!!What the fuck!!!!! What the fuck!!!! NO WWE!!!!!! What the fuck!!!!!!What the fuck!!!!! What the fuck!!!! NO WWE!!!!!!

What the fuck!!!! NO WWE!!!!!! What the fuck!!!!!! Well we know how to beat Cena in a match......Have Ryback take him out and then count to ten. )
Final Thoughts: Well we have a good show but WWE did mess up some better moments. I guess I could give this show a 8/10. I am mostly happy to see something good with WWE Raw. So see you all for TNA Impact. I hate TNA fans for their excitement.

Opening Segment: Stephanie McMahon comes out to stop her husband Triple H from wrestling tonight. Mr. McMahon comes out to support her and also tell the fans to stop booing her. The Shield comes down to the ring. After the break, the start of the first match with The Shield.
(This could have been the best opening segment ever on Raw if they did not fuck up the commercial break. Plus WWE is heavily plugging the fucking app. I have the app and it is not the shit. However, if you had the app then you saw both McMahons leave when The Shield came around the ring. So thank you WWE for fucking up an awesome opening.)
Match#1: The Shield vs. Randy Orton, Kane and Daniel Bryan
Winners: The Shield
(Well this match was the fucking shit! Why? Well it is because Daniel Bryan was basically going fucking HAM on The Shield. I mean DBry was gaining my attention and my fanship. After this match, I want to see Dbry and CM Punk again. Randy Orton fucked up the best HAM moment of WWE history. Of course that just made DBry look for another match. The Shield was awesome as well. Moving on...... )
Match#2: The Usos vs. Prime Time Players
Winners: The Usos
(What the fuck was this? After the best match ever on WWE Raw, you put on the jobbers? Really WWE? I guess The Usos are getting a push or it was convient. I will move on from this. )
Match#3: Alberto Del Rio vs. Big E Langston
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(Well this was the fifth and hopefully the final match of this series that was to take the attention off of Ziggler. This was fucking funny but cool to see. I never thought I would see the armbar turned into a pin. Well I saw something new and different. I loved this match because of the embarassing ass cheek of Big E. People were posting about going blind seeing a black man's ass cheek in tight wrestling gear. Good match but funny ass cheek moment. )
Match#4: Sheamus vs. Cody Rhodes
Winner: Sheamus
(SSDD.....that's all I have to say because this was true SSDD in WWE. )
Match#5: Fandango vs. The Great Khali
Winner: No Contest
(Thank you Fandumbo for ending this horrid match quickly. However, this build up the next match because it was more of a crutch for the IC title situation. So thank Miz and Barrett for the quick build up back to your feud. )
Match#6: The Miz vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: The Miz
(For the love of God, I hope Miz goes back to his other finisher. Seeing him do the figure four is killing. This was a so so match with a sickening ending.)
Match#7: The Bella Twins and AJ Lee vs. Kaitlyn, Cameron and Naomi
Winners: Kaitlyn, Cameron and Naomi
(This match prove that 99% of men were FAP to this match. I was not because I wanted to see if this lasted longer than three minutes. Sadly, it was short and sweet. What made me laugh is that we have a Divas champion but no competition for her. What pisses me off is that the Bellas have a TV show. Why? I don't want to see fake bitches. If I want that, I can watch the other fake bitch show. )
Match#8: Ryback vs. Daniel Bryan
Winner: Daniel Bryan by DQ
(Dbry goes HAM on Ryback. Ryback overpowers him. DBry goes HAM again. Ryback says fuck it and takes him out with a table. Cena comes to save. This match was good until Cena came to save him. Also having Ryback be a heel is dumber. Good match with a shitty ending. Damn you WWE. )
Main Event - No DQ Match: Curtis Axel vs. John Cena
Winner: Curtis Axel by Count Out

6/2/13
TNA Slammaversary PPV 6/2/13
Note: Unlike WWE with Wrestlemania, this is TNA's big PPV. This marks the 11th year that TNA has been in existance. I am not a big fan of TNA but I am trying to see good things in TNA. I wish I could be harsh with this PPV but the truth is that this PPV is looking to be weak as fuck. The tag team match looks like a mega fucking clusterfuck. I guess it is fair to see if I am right or wrong. Here's is TNA Slammaversary XI.........
Match#1 - Ultimate X for the X Division Title: Chris Sabin vs. Suicide vs. Kenny King
Winner: Chris Sabin - New X Division Champion
(This was the best fucking match. Sad thing is that this is the first match on the PPV. Why is this good? No bullshit. No fucking Aces and Eights drama. This was good from start to finish. The reason why I loved this match is that WWE gave up on the lightweight guys. Plus this was more action that the main event that is going to be slow and boring. I just hate that this was the first match. This proves that TNA is starting to devalue this division.)
Match#2: Mr. Anderson, Wes Brisco and Garett Bischoff vs. Magnus, Samoa Joe and Jeff Hardy
Winners: Jeff Hardy, Samoa Joe and Magnus
(No comment........this was just boring and dull to me.)
Match#3 - Gutcheck Finals: Jay Bradley vs. Sam Shaw
Winner: Jay Bradley
(I wish I could say that this was better but this was basically a jobber match. Ugh, this was fucking boring. )
Match#4 Part 1 - TNA Television Title Match: Joseph Park vs. Devon
Winner: Devon
Match#4 Part 2 - TNA TV Title Match: Devon vs. Abyss
Winner: Abyss - New TV Champion
(Well this was actually good to see once they got rid of the Joseph Parks bullshit. I guess it was better than see the shit that was shown prior to this match. I know this is temporary because TNA does not want to see Abyss full time. Thank god for this break from the bullshit. )
Match#5 - TNA Tag Team Title Elimination Match: Daniels & Kazarian vs. James Storm & Gunner vs. Austin Aries & Bobby Roode vs. Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez
Winners: Gunner and James Storm - New Tag Team Champions
(Well I predicted this was going to be a clusterfuck. I was so fucking right on the money. This was so fucking sad to see because it was hard to see who would win. Plus I think TNA is running out of ideals for the tag teams. So let's see how long this will last because the other guys will more than likely break up soon.)
Match#6 - Last Knockouts Standing Match: Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell
Winner: Taryn Terrell
(Holy shit! This was the second best match of the night. This match should be shown to WWE to show how to make a real women wrestling match. As shitty as Terrell is and how good Gail Kim is, this was the best womens match on TNA. Sad thing was that this should have been for a title and also sad to see Gail Kim win to a shitty wrestler. )
Match#7: Kurt Angle vs. AJ Styles
Winner: Kurt Angle
(I don't care that Angle is going to the TNA HOF. I don't care if this was a filler match before the title match. I do care that AJ should have won. Other than that, this could have been better if it was longer and also more buildup to the match. )
Main Event - No Holds Barred Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Title: Sting vs. Bully Ray
Winner: Bully Ray
(I have mixed feelings about this match. Thank god Sting is done trying to be champion. However, Bully Ray is still champ. I actually stopped watching the PPV because I had a sense that this was going to end with a weapon. Not mad about how it ended but upset because this could have ended without a weapon used. Plus tired of Sting. )
Final Thoughts: This was not the PPV I wanted to see. I hated that the best matches were from the X Division and also the KO division. I really think TNA lost its touch tonight with this shit. People can drink this kool aid but I won't. TNA disappointed me with their matches. It also pissed me off that Jeff Jarrett got passed up for HOF by Kurt Angle. We all know that Angle's ex became Jeff's current wife. Also we should realize that Jeff Hardy is a joke. Basically, I am off to bed. See you all for WWE Raw. God, I gotta drink before seeing Cena and Ryback speak. Good night.
