Note: After what was suppose to be a good PPV until the end, this is going to be a interesting show. If you don't know, I am not a fan of this version on Yawn Cena. I was a fan but WWE had to change him to appease the kids that watched. Also not a fan of putting over older talent just to make sure people know who to cheer for. Basically, last night's PPV was good but Yawn Cena killed my joy in that. So let's watch WWE Raw and hope something will make me feel better....
Match#1: Seth Rollins vs. Rob Van Dam
Winner: Seth Rollins
(I like this Seth Rollins. I have been getting use to him being the new guy in Evolution/The Authority. His matches are getting better and hopefully he will be a main eventer not a mid carder. As for RVD, well it is sad to say he has not changed. This was a good match to start the show but only because RVD finally got someone in the roster that can make him look good and bad at the same time. I also love that after the match, Ambrose is still making it his business to make Rollins life hell. So far so good. )
Match#2: The Usos and Sheamus vs. The Wyatt Family
Winners: The Wyatt Family
(Can I be totally honest here? As much as I love the Usos, it is time to either drop the titles or go heel. Either way is good for the WWE. Watching this match was like watching guys act like Yawn Cena. Sheamus is still US Champ, why? I think it is sad that a title like that is being misued. This match was ok but then again, Wyatt Family is gaining some steam and hopefully they will have some gold soon. )
Match#3: Nikki Bella vs. Cameron and Naomi - Handicap Match
Winners: Cameron and Naomi
(Do I care that a Bella was beaten? Fuck no! I do hate that the black girls are about to break up. Of course, when they break up a black tag team, one gets fired and the other one sucks. So we will see on who is who. As for this match, I can say it was bearable only because Cameron and Naomi made it watchable. )
Match#4: Cesaro vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Kofi Kingston
(Someone told me that sometimes it is better to find fault before making changes. Kofi winning is a change but I cannot answer why. Cesaro is suppose to be the new guy to get a title shot. It is sad that Bad News Barrett lost his title but it makes me wonder why WWE is enforcing this title shit now. I remember as a kid that most of the titles were held for years even without being defended for several PPVs. I guess Vince is tired of people bitching about not seeing title matches. As for this match, this is going to be a good IC title match soon. This was meh....)
Match#4: The Great Khali vs. Damien "McMahondow" Sandow
Winner: The Great Khali
(No comment. Next match, please!!!!!!)
Match#5: Fandango vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
(I don't like Flame-Bore-O but love Ziggler. This kid needs a title shot soon. He is going to be ok. This match proves that Ziggler is going to be a mid carder but also a champion soon. I want to say that seeing Summer Rae make out with Ziggler was good for TV. Also good was seeing Ziggler make the lame gimmick got down. This made up for the above bullshit. )
Match#6: Stardust and Goldust vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Winners: Stardust and Goldust
(This was a good match. I have said my peace about Stardust and Goldust. Still think Ryback and Curtis Axel is a joke. Next match, please......)
Match#7: AJ Lee vs. Paige - WWE Divas Title Match
Winner: AJ Lee - New WWE Divas Champion
(This was basically what the fans wanted. Why? Because Paige is good in the ring but cannot speak or make a good promo. Also it is funny that as soon as AJ came out we got the loudest CM Punk chants. I don't believe she is married to him or is pregnant with this kid. However, she is back to give us good matches and a better feud with the Total Divas. She came, she won, she is champion again. Too bad this was not the main event. Time for Yawn Cena...)
Main Event: Roman Reigns and John Cena vs. Kane and Randy Orton
Winners by DQ: John Cena and Roman Reigns
(Well I will admit that the after match bullshit was better than the match. Why? Simply because this was a setup for Seth to cash in the MITB contract. I know I did not mention this during his match but was not thinking. Basically like I said, this was a setup for Seth to get the title. However, Ambrose did what he said he would do. So the ending was better than the match. Only because the young guys made it better. Time to wrap this up.)
Final Thoughts: I will admit that I don't care for the title until Yawn Cena loses at SummerSlam PPV. As for the rest of the show, most of the show was filled with people that came back to make us happy. The Miz is back just to job to Y2J. Then Y2J jobs to Bray Wyatt which was good for the fans. AJ Lee has her title back. That's good. So we will see if CM Punk comes back. Basically, this show helped me forget that Yawn Cena is back to being the asshole I hate. See you all for TNA Impact...

WWE Money In the Bank PPV 6/29/14
Note: Well it is time to see if the IWC is right or if people will be shocked to see who is champion and see who is going to be champion. Also hoping that most of the matches will not be just regular matches on PPV. I will be honest as say that this PPV is something I dread watching because if the IWC is right, I might have to stop watching WWE. I hope they are wrong. Time to watch WWE Money In The Bank PPV...
Match#1: Luke Harper and Erick Rowan vs. The Usos - WWE Tag Team Title Match
Winners: The Usos
(Why do they make their matches look decent on TV but better on the PPVs? I have been flip flopping on this because it is hard for me to actually enjoy this match. I want to see The Usos win but change their gimmicks or The Wyatt Family win and we get to see something new. This was a good match but we will see if this could change. )
Match#2: Naomi vs. Paige - WWE Divas Title Match
Winner: Paige
(Well I don't have anything good to say about this match because the build up to this was lame at best. Also seeing that Paige don't say much and we all know that Cameron and Naomi are splitting soon, this was so bad but the only good thing was seeing this match on PPV and be longer than three seconds. Next match, please.....)
Match#3: Adam Rose vs. Damien Sandow
Winner: Adam Rose
(This was the saddest thing to see on PPV. Why? This just proves that Sandow is about to be fired or jobbed to death. Actually seeing him lose to Zack Ryder would be sadder. This was just to see Adam Rose and his people party. However, it was better to see this than the divas title match. )
Match#4: Seth Rollins vs. Rob Van Dam vs. Jack Swagger vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Dean Ambrose - Money In the Bank Contract Ladder Match
Winner: Seth Rollins - MITB Contract Holder
(This was the best match of the night! This just proves that the younger talent is better than the older talent. We got to see a good old fashioned ladder match with men that can show off what they can do. I loved this match because it made me see who is ready for the main event and who is happy in the mid card. Rollins won because of Kane but we will get to see some good matches from Rollins and Ambrose soon. )
Match#5: Stardust and Goldust vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Winners: Stardust and Goldust
(This is a story of two teams but they have a different effect on me. Ryback and Curtis Axel bored me to no end. Stardust and Goldust is fresh and exciting. Also it is good to see Cody do something different. Basically, this was a good match to watch but only because of the new character in Stardust. )
Match#6: Rusev vs. Big E
Winner: Rusev
(This is still going on. Why? This is one of those matches we use to see back in the day with Hogan and Nikola Volkoff. So I am going to move on with the next match. )
Match#7: Summer Rae vs. Layla
Fandango - Special Referee
Winner: Layla
(This is the match before the main event. Why? This is basically a lovers brawl. Summer Rae is the ex girlfriend and Layla is the current girlfriend with Hot Pants in the middle. This could have been done on WWE Raw. So basically, this was stupid. Time to end the show. )
Main Event: Sheamus vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. Cesaro vs. John Cena vs. Randy Orton vs. Roman Reigns vs. Kane - Ladder Match for the Vacant WWE World Heavyweight Title
Yawn Cena - New WWE World Heavyweight Title
(I had a smile on my face but lost my smile when Yawn Cena won. This could have been done better but WWE is back to catering to the kids. So, let's wrap this up. )
Final Thoughts: This was a good PPV except for the ending. Why? Well it is that time when I care for the mid card before I give a damn that Yawn Cena is champion. This PPV does need to be changed because it is time for this to go back to being a match at Wrestlemania. I think it is better for this to be a different PPV. See you for WWE Raw.

WWE Smackdown Review 6/13/14 - Friday The 13th Edition
Note: This is going to be a very interesting show. Seeing that WWE just released a lot of wrestlers yesterday and some will be on WWE TV it will fit into this special episode. Today is Friday the 13th and Smackdown is going to be filled with scary and unpredictable things. So time to watch WWE Smackdown...
Match#1: Roman Reigns vs. Bad News Barrett
Winner: No Contest
(Even though the official last sighting on 3MB together was on a recent episode of WWE Superstars, this is the last sighting of 3MB as a whole. Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal are gone from WWE and Heath Slater needs a new gimmick. Before, I go there, as for this match, this would have been a good match for the IC title. Why? It is because Reigns is not going to be a mid carder forever and because he is going to be big. So this would have been a great match for a PPV. We will see this again soon for the IC title. As for 3MB, good bye and thank you for leaving like the jokes you are. )
Match#2: Erick Rowan vs. Jey Uso
Winner: Erick Rowan
(This was watching a bully beat the shit out of a small kid. Even though Jey Uso is not a weak kid but the damage he took was brutal. Sell or no sell, it was harsh to watch this match. Ususally, I would change the channel but this was not a typical match. This could be bigger once the tag titles are on the line and also we see change in the tag team division. )
Match#3: Bo Dallas vs. R-Truth
Winner: Bo Dallas
(This was close to being boring. I think R-Truth is going to be heel again soon. I cannot wait for the return of Little Jimmy. Bo Dallas is basically like Bray Wyatt except he is annoying not creepy. This was not a good match but Bo Dallas needs to be something else aside from being annoying. )
Match#4: Sheamus vs. Cesaro
Winner: Cesaro
(This was a good match. I am actually shocked because it is now a feud with these two. It is weird to have a feud with the U.S. title. I will refrain from my constant questioning as to why Sheamus is the U.S. champion but still comes from Ireland? As for Cesaro, he needs to win a title soon because his popularity is not getting better with Heyman as his manager. This was a good match because these guys can wrestle and can put on a show. Regardless of how Sheamus acts like Cena most times.)
Match#5: Adam Rose vs. Fandango
Winner: Adam Rose
(So Summer Rae became a rosebud, cool. I don't talk about F-lame-mo bt will say that Adam Rose is growing on me. I only say that because being British only goes two ways in wrestling: the asshole or the cool Brit. I will be moving on. )
Match#6: Big E vs. Jack Swagger
Winner: Big E
(This was so confusing that I will not even speak about it. I feel like I went back to 1985. Almost done with the review. )
Match#7: Alicia Fox vs. Aksana
Winner: Alicia Fox
(Aksana was another wrestler that was let go this week. So it was weird to see her get beaten but someone I think should have been fired. Aksana did fuck up Naomi's eye and that was probably why she was let go. This match was weird but it is nice to see Alicia is trying to be something she is not. AJ Lee is crazy but Alicia Fox is just trying too hard. Main Event Time....)
Main Event: Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose - Money In The Bank Qualifying Match
Winner: Bray Wyatt
(This was the best match of the night. This might be a rare thing on WWE Smackdown but this was the match of the night. I know I am repeating myself but it was good. Dean Ambrose is just that damn good. Bray Wyatt does a better job with this match than anything with Cena. Seth Rollins did make an appearance and was effective in the assist to Wyatt. Good way to end the show. )
Final Thoughts: It was weird to see former WWE wrestlers on their last official show but it was good to see 3MB and Aksana go out like they did. As for the show as a whole, it was not a good show but it was not the typical bullshit we get from WWE Smackdown. So I guess we are going to get some better shows on here or some shitty ones. Either way, WWE needs to do something with this show. See you all for WWE Raw.....

TNA Impact Review 6/12/14
Note: This is the show before the PPV this weekend. I think TNA is not doing a good job with promoting their PPVs or other programming. This will be an interesting show because if my math is right, there is barely enough on this card to make a good PPV. I might be wrong. Here we go with TNA Impact before TNA Slammaversary...
Match#1: Eric Young vs. Bobby Lashley
Winner: Bobby Lashley
(Watching this match was like watching old school Bobby Lashley in WWE. This was like watching a jobber match. Eric Young is the TNA Champion but was looking like a jobber getting schooled. Bobby Lashley is better as a wrestler but does have some good qualities outside the ring. As long he does not speak, we are good. So EY lost this match but he is not done for tonight. )
Match#2: Robbie E vs Knux
Winner: Knux
(There was a match in all this fucking craziness. I am not a fan of the gimmick Knux have. This was pointless to me. So let's move on to the next match....)
Match#: Eric Young vs. Kenny King
Winner: Eric Young
(Kenny King is a good wrestler but this was more so a better match for EY. This was more so the pace of wrestling for EY. Kenny King was doing his thang but this was EY's match to win. I will also say this was more so an X Division type of match. I just wish we will see an actual X Division match tonight. )
Match#: Brittany vs. Madison Rayne vs. Gail Kim - #1 Contender for the KO Title
Winner: Gail Kim
(I am happy to see my TNA crush get another title show. I really cannot explain why I am in love with Gail Kim except for the fact that she can wrestle and also is the queen of TNA. Brittany is going to be a good wrestler. She should not adopt the Mickie James creepy KO role but if she does, she should pick someone else to obsess about. Great match thanks to Gail Kim and also the interference of The Beautiful People. Main Event Time....)
Winner: Main Event: MVP vs. Eric Young
Winner: Eric Young by DQ
(EY lost the battle but won something at the end. We will see a steel cage title match. Unlike in WWE where we will see someone break in the cage or come under the cage, TNA cage matches are unique in nature. As for this match, well it was leaked out on the internet that MVP is out of the main event for the title but there will be a triple threat match. Also taping shows does fuck up live shows. Time to end the review. )
Final Thoughts: I don't pay for any wrestling PPVs. If I was to pay for TNA Slammaversary, I would want my full refund after seeing the opening match. This show did setup the PPV but like I said, MVP is out of the title match. One thing that kills me is the shitty X Division match at this PPV and the match with the Von Erichs debuting on TNA. Why? No build up. See you all for WWE Smackdown and also TNA Slammaversary PPV...

WWE Raw Review 6/9/14
Note: As with all shows, I hope for good things. Since we always start with WWE Raw, it shouldn't be said for a good show. This is going to be a good week because I hope for a good week of wrestling each week. WWE is gearing up for MITB PPV and hopefully it is going to be good. We got one match last week on WWE Smackdown so tonight we will get more good matches for this PPV. So here we go with WWE Raw...
Match#1: Bad News Barrett vs. Sheamus - Money In the Bank Qualifying Match
Winner: Sheamus
(For some reason, this was a good way to start the show. Even though both of these men have the mid card titles, this was basically what I like to see in an opening match. I ignored the titles and saw these men wanted to be a part of the MITB PPV. I will admit that even though Barrett is perfect as the IC champ, Sheamus as U.S. champ baffles me. How does a man from Ireland become the U.S. champion? Only Vince knows...)
Match#2: Zack Ryder vs. Rusev
Winner: Rusev
(This was so much of a jobber match that it was sad to see Ryder do the job for this big man. All I know is that I cannot watch Rusev wresle without seeing Lana. I am sorry but Lana has a nice ass and she is hot as fuck. Lame gimmick for both of them but Lana could read the phone book in Russian and I will be happy. Moving on...)
Match#3: Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. Goldust and R-Truth
Winners: Ryback and Curtis Axel
(Cody Rhodes needs to be on TV wrestling. This whole angle with him leaving his brother with these shitty tag team partners is getting old. We all know that we will see Cody vs. Goldust at SummerSlam. This was awful to watch, so moving on....)
Match#4: The Usos vs. Fandango and Damien Sandow
Winners: The Usos
(The Usos need competetion. This was bullshit. Moving on....)
Match#5: Xavier Woods vs. Bo Dallas
Winner: Bo Dallas
(Yawn....boring. Next match. )
Match#6: Cesaro vs. Rob Van Dam - Money In the Bank Qualifying Match
Winner: Cesaro
(This makes up for the boring match prior to this one. This was good. Cesaro is basically going to be a title contender. He is what WWE wants and what the fans need right now. RVD is just there to help the young talent get over. Unlike in TNA where he was there for a check. )
Match#7: Paige vs. Alicia Fox
Winner: Paige
(One word sums up this feud: weird. Paige is getting heat because she was just given the title because AJ Lee wanted time off. Paige is a good wrestler but she is losing the fans because her feuds are shit. This is just a weird thing because Alicia Fox is not crazy but she is trying to be. I love how Paige wins and get nervous seeing Alicia Fox lose her shit. Next!!!!)
Match#8: Jack Swagger vs. Santino Marella
Winner: Jack Swagger
(I did not watch this match at all. Why? I feel like this was filler for the main event. Usually that is what the Divas matches are. This was bullshit. So let's end this show. )
Main Event: John Cena, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper
Winners: John Cena, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns
(I will not speak about Yawn Cena but will speak on the other players in this match. This was a good match even better without Yawn Cena getting involved. Reigns and Ambrose will be a good tag team. There might not be no more Shield but at least all three men are moving on. This match proves it. Reigns is getting better and Ambrose is the loose cannon we miss on WWE TV. The Wyatt Family is better off with a new person to feud with. We all know that Yawn Cena is going to bury anyone that takes his spotlight. Time to end the review. )
Final Thoughts: I think Reigns and Ambrose are on their way to the main event. Seth Rollins is going to be in the main event sooner than later. This whole show is better than most. I think it is good to see some of the younger talent get more time but the IC title and US title needs to be featured since there is no champion and after tonight with Daniel Bryan getting stripped of the title, we will see more good MITB Qualifying Matches. See you all for TNA Impact....

(This makes up for the boring match prior to this one. This was good. Cesaro is basically going to be a title contender. He is what WWE wants and what the fans need right now. RVD is just there to help the young talent get over. Unlike in TNA where he was there for a check. )
Match#7: Paige vs. Alicia Fox
Winner: Paige
(One word sums up this feud: weird. Paige is getting heat because she was just given the title because AJ Lee wanted time off. Paige is a good wrestler but she is losing the fans because her feuds are shit. This is just a weird thing because Alicia Fox is not crazy but she is trying to be. I love how Paige wins and get nervous seeing Alicia Fox lose her shit. Next!!!!)
Match#8: Jack Swagger vs. Santino Marella
Winner: Jack Swagger
(I did not watch this match at all. Why? I feel like this was filler for the main event. Usually that is what the Divas matches are. This was bullshit. So let's end this show. )
Main Event: John Cena, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper
Winners: John Cena, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns
(I will not speak about Yawn Cena but will speak on the other players in this match. This was a good match even better without Yawn Cena getting involved. Reigns and Ambrose will be a good tag team. There might not be no more Shield but at least all three men are moving on. This match proves it. Reigns is getting better and Ambrose is the loose cannon we miss on WWE TV. The Wyatt Family is better off with a new person to feud with. We all know that Yawn Cena is going to bury anyone that takes his spotlight. Time to end the review. )
Final Thoughts: I think Reigns and Ambrose are on their way to the main event. Seth Rollins is going to be in the main event sooner than later. This whole show is better than most. I think it is good to see some of the younger talent get more time but the IC title and US title needs to be featured since there is no champion and after tonight with Daniel Bryan getting stripped of the title, we will see more good MITB Qualifying Matches. See you all for TNA Impact....

WWE Smackdown Review 6/6/14
Note: After what happened on WWE Raw this week, it should be interesting to see Seth Rollins with Triple H. Since I don't watch WWE Main Event or WWE Superstars since they are on WWE Network, this will be the first time I will see Seth Rollins as the new member of Evolution. Also, it should be said that all hell will break lose because of this change. So time to gear up for WWE Smackdown...
Match#1: Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Seth Rollins
(I will admit that watching Seth Rollins now is a lot better than he was back in NXT. This is a new guy with a better gimmick. Even though I loved The Shield but it is good to see the group part company and this was a good match for him. Even Ziggler was basically making this a good match. This is really a good way to open the show because this had heat to it. Plus it was not a mid card title. Ziggler is going to be back in the main event and as for Seth Rollins, well he is going to be a mid card title holder soon. )
Match#2: The Usos vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Winners: The Usos
(I will skip this match because this is SSDD in motion. We all know that The Usos will have these titles for a while longer. Plus Ryback and Curtis Axel are just together because neither one was doing well as singles. Next match...)
Match#3: Rusev vs. Xavier Woods
Winner: Rusev
(Rusev is going through black jobbers like crazy. Rusev might be a good wrestler but Lana is what I see. I have said on my FB groups she is a Russian I want to meet. I am sorry but that woman is hot and Rusev is just killing jobbers until someone steps up to him. )
Match#4: Rob Van Dam vs. Bad News Barrett vs. Cesaro
Winner: Bad News Barrett
(Bad News Barrett is doing a good job again with the IC title. However, he is not getting any competition except for a few guys. This was boring to me because RVD does the same thing. It is hard to take him seriously. So moving on...)
Match#5: Natalya vs. Alicia Fox
Winner: Natalya
(Good news is we got a decent match but we got to see Alicia Fox act like she is crazy. I felt sorry for Nattie because she is the one being wasted on WWE TV except for her time on WWE NXT. I change channels after Nattie won and before Alicia lost her shit. )
Match#6: Bo Dallas vs. Santino Marella
Winner: Bo Dallas
(I will refrain from commenting on this match because both are not worth my time. )
Main Event: Randy Orton vs. Big Show
Winner: No Contest
(This match has been done for years. So this ending was better because we did not have to see a slow match. Seth Rollins made an impact. He is a part of Evolution. RKO likes Seth and so does Triple H. So this is a good thing. However, Big Show had to be the guy used for all this. Time to end the review. )
Final Thoughts: I knew this was going to be an interesting show. Seth Rollins is going to make an impact with Triple H. This show was filled with good setups and also better storylines. Plus no 3MB vs. Los Matadores, no midget wrestling, and without the WWE WHC it is going to be hard to make good shows without their champion. WWE Smackdown is going to be better if something changes on WWE Raw. See you all for WWE Raw...

TNA Impact Review 6/5/14
Note: This was already taped but since I don't like to see spoilers I will try to be objective to this show. TNA is going to do what they can to make their fans like their products. This should be an interesting show because we are getting ready for the Slammaversary PPV. So hopefully, we hope for good shows. Here we go with TNA Impact....
Match#1: Willow vs. Bram
Winner: Willow by DQ
(This was a waste of a match. Why? Because it would have been better to see Bram win this and also have Magnus beat up Willow after this match. I think Willow is a joke and Bram and Magnus needs to fight each other. Moving on...)
Match#2: Eddie Edwards vs. Davey Richards
Winner: Eddie Edwards
(Even though this was forced, this could have been a great match. Why? Seeing these men face each other shows who have the talent and who is a joke. Kenny King did make this match better afterwards. I guess this was just lost on me. )
Match#3: Samoa Joe vs. Austin Aries
Winner: No Contest
(This would have been a good match with two great wrestlers. However, this was setting up something better for the main event. So let's see the main event....)
Main Event: Team Bully (Bully Ray, Eric Young and Austin Aries) vs. Team MVP (Ethan Carter III, Bobby Lashley and Kenny King) - First Blood Match
Winners: Team Bully
(This was fucking awesome. I think it was because I miss a first blood match. This was not a clusterfuck and this was done right. Unlike WWE, TNA is what we want in wrestling still. I will admit that Bully Ray is still not a good singles wrestler but he is more so a bigger part of TNA than he could be in WWE. Everyone was on point and on the money. I figured EC3 was going to be the one to bleed and was dealt with by MVP, Kenny King and Bobby Lashley. Good way to end the show. )
Final Thoughts: Well this was a rare show where it started off slow but ended fast and good. TNA is trying to stick around btut needs to stop mimicking WWE and vice versa. Also, TNA needs to have more KO matches, more X Division matches, and definately need to have tag teams for that division. See you all for WWE Smackdown...

WWE Raw Review 6/2/14
Note: After last night with the PPV, I am going to assume that tonight is going to be a night of changes and also gearing up for SummerSlam. Also I just want to see a good show that won't have me change channels and not turn my TV off. Like I said, last night was a good PPV without a championship match but it did have something to see. Here we go with WWE Raw...
Match#1: Rob Van Dam and Sheamus vs. Cesaro and Bad News Barrett
Winners: Rob Van Dam and Sheamus
(This match pissed me off because we are seeing both mid card titles not being defended and also because this was just a bad way to start the show. So I will admit that this was not a bad match but didn't peak my interest.)
Match#2: Kofi Kingston vs. Bo Dallas
Winner: Bo Dallas
(Well this was not a bad match but then again, why should this be? Bo Dallas is going to be good to watch but only in short amounts of time. At least we also saw Kofi on TV. )
Match#3: Kane vs. John Cena
Winner: John Cena by DQ
(THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!!

THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!! Seen this match back in 2012)
Match#4: Los Matadores vs. Drew McIntyre and Heath Slater
Winners: Los Matadores
(THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!!

THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!!THIS WAS BORING!!!!!! THIS WAS BORING!!!!! Next match, please...)
Match#5 - Handicap Match: Nikki Bella vs. Alicia Fox and Aksana
Winners: Aksana and Alicia Fox
(It is rare to say that a divas match bores me but this did. I won't speak about the Bellas but think this was a revenge match from last night's PPV. Plus I think this could be also a sign that most women in the WWE hate her. Well at least a Bella didn't win this match. )
Match#6: Adam Rose vs. Jack Swagger
Winner: Adam Rose
(Well if this feud continues then we need to have something change because this is not a feud for Adam Rose. He is not the guys that Real Americans feud with. However, this match was better seeing Cesaro beat Swagger over and over. )
Match#7: Luke Harper and Erick Rowan vs. The Usos
Winners: Erick Rowan and Luke Harper
(No amount of talk can describe this match. This was basically giants vs. ants. This was not boring but only because The Usos made it interesting. Moving on...)
Match#8 - Money In the Bank Qualifying Match: Alberto Del Rio vs. Dolph Ziggler
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(Well, if Del Rio is suppose to leave after this PPV or after the next one, then this is a good way to go out on. Their matches have been either really good or bad. This was a good one. I only say that because this is one of those times where it was not boring but it was not match of the night material. However, seeing that this is for the shot at the title, only time will tell. )
Match#9: Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. Goldust and Sin Cara
Winners: Ryback and Curtis Axel
(I refused to watch this match because this was filler for the main event. What is sad is that this was not a bad match but it just was boring to me. Time for the main event. )
Main Event: Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton
Winner: No Contest
(We just witness history. The end of The Shield has happened. Seth Rollins turned his back on his brothers. No matter what else happened or didn't happen, this is what fans will remember. No more Shield. Triple H won the battle for tonight. This is a sad day in WWE for the fans. )
Final Thoughts: After seeing the end to the show, I am in shock because of what happened. Seth Rollins is a dead man because he turned on his brother to partner with Triple H and RKO. The rest of the show was so so but thanks to the WWE for saving the best swerve in history to this show. Especially since the PPV was last night and most of the time WWE does have a better WWE Raw show after a PPV. Only time will tell about the change with Seth Rollins. See you all for TNA Impact...

WWE Payback PPV 6/1/14
Note: Usually, I don't get excited about non PPVs from WWE. I am use to four good PPVs from WWE then I can expect maybe three good shows per month from WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown. So this PPV is basically a recap or a rematch of the previous PPV. Seeing that most of what I just said is right, then let's hope for something different from this PPV. Ladies and gentleman, here is WWE Payback...
Pre-Show/Match#1 - Mask vs. Hair Match: El Torito vs. Hornswoggle
Winner: El Torito
(The only good thing about these matches is that these matches are not going to be on the main PPV. Thank you WWE for that because this is not going to get better but worse. El Torito is a gimmick and Hornswoggle is a character that is way past his usefulness in the WWE. This match was not dumb but it was not good either. So the result will be the same. Next match...)
Match#2 - WWE United States Title Match: Cesaro vs. Sheamus
Winner: Sheamus
(I have tried to ignore the fact that this title is suppose to be specific. The IC title is the WWE's work horse title for jobbers. This title is not even the second version of that. After Dean Ambrose had the title for so long, I was assuming that this title was going to be killed off. I was so wrong. Now that Sheamus is actually defending it, I think it is time to let some of the young talent use it. Basically, it is time to see Zack Ryder or even Adam Rose go for this title. Cesaro is more so a better IC title contender. This match was not boring but it would have been better if Cesaro had made Sheamus a short title holder. Moving on...)
Match#3: Kofi Kingston vs. Bo Dallas
Winner: No Contest
(Kane, thank you so much for making this match short and sweet. Thank you WWE for wasting this match on a PPV. This is a WWE Raw or WWE Smackdown match. Next match please....)
Match#4: Rusev vs. Big E
Winner: Rusev
(Yawn! This is WWF back in the day. The Russian vs. The American. This time, the American is black and The Russian has a sexy ass mouthpiece. My god, all I could see was Lana's nice ass and her sexy strut. This was a boring match but Lana made up for that with a high FAP factor. Moving on....)
Match#5: Cody Rhodes and Goldust vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel
Winner: Ryback and Curtis Axel
(Cody is about to be a heel. Why is this process taking so long to get to it? If this is going to end up being a SummerSlam PPV match, then cool. Please don't wait too long for this payoff because it might backfire. As for this match, well This was not boring or bad but this did make me excited to see tag team wrestling in the WWE. Next match...)
Match#6 - WWE Intercontinental Title Match: Rob Van Dam vs. Bad News Barrett
Winner: Bad News Barrett
(I had BNB winning this because RVD is just there for a check. RVD is a good wrestler but he is just a jobber with a good gimmick and past titles. This was not a good match because the styles are different. Plus when we don't hear RVD speak, it means that this was put together quick. This was RVD's payoff for a quick IC #1 Contender's Tournament. Next match, please...)
Match#7 - Last Man Standing Match: John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt
Winner: John Cena
(I am going to use this as my last time ever commenting on any match with Yawn Cena because basically, he is not going to lose unless it is someone that is more over than he is. This match was good but the ending was so fucking predictable. I feel so fucking sorry for Bray Wyatt because as over as he is, Yawn Cena will bury you. )
Match#8 - WWE Divas Title Match: Alicia Fox vs. Paige
Winner: Paige
(I want to know why when AJ Lee had this title, her matches was not this close to the end but Paige's matches have been closer to the end? Nothing against Paige but there is something funky about this deal. This was not a good match to show off Paige and how good she is. This was basically a WWE Raw match. Alicia Fox is getting more heat but she still cannot wrestle. She can be bat shit crazy. )
Main Event - No Holds Barred Elimination Match: The Shield vs. Evolution
Winners: The Shield
(I think this was a good match with a bunch of bad points in the middle and the end. First of all, why was Batista wearing blue? I know some people will be all over this tonight and forever, but for me this was a point of something odd. Also, why did Evolution fight to lose? This whole match was suppose to be good and the hype was great. This match was like if Triple H said, don't win but fight. I guess the winners were The Shield but the fans were also the winners for this match. Time to end this PPV. )
Final Thoughts: No WWE WHC Title Match! We might had a good main event but what is the fucking point of having a champion but he is out of commision. I like Daniel Bryan but this was pointless to have a PPV without a main title match. I hate that because wrestling is about matches and titles. The Shield and Evolution did steal the show but I would have loved to see a title match. Aside from that, I think tomorrow's WWE Raw show should be interesting. I said my peace though out the show, so see you all for WWE Raw.
