1.5 Stars - Street Profits Retain

Match #8 - Firefly Fun House Match - John Cena vs The Fiend - Cena teleports to the Funhouse and goes through the door… Vince Puppet… This is your life John Cena… Ok, so this really wasn’t a match, but a video package. I will say it kept my attention more than the other Fiend segments.

Match #9 - WWE Championship Match - Brock Lesner vs Drew McIntyre - A Claymore , a bunch of F-5s, some more Claymores and a pin.

WWE Wrestlrmania 36 Part 1

#wrestlemania

2.5 Stars - Drew Gulak wins

3.5 Stars - Becky Lynch Retains

Match #4 - WWE Intercontinental Championship Match - Sami Zayn vs. Daniel Bryan - Once Cesaro and Nakamori are removed it is a one sided match all to Bryan. They come back and beat down Drew Gulak. Sami takes advantage and gets the pin

1 Star - Sami Zayn Retains

Match #5 - Smackdown Tag Team Championship Triple Threat Ladder Match - John Morrison vs. Jimmy Uso vs. Kofi Kingston - I have a tough time getting interested in Morrison. Good spots throughout. Disappointing ending with Morrison dropping with the titles after a dual headbutt. Good match, poor ending.

2 Stars - Morrison Retains

Match #6 - Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins - Good spots for both. The two on their own made for a much better match with no interruptions. Good action, with good offense and counters from both. I cared about this one more than I wanted to. DQ gets the first end. Owens asks for no DQ for a finish. Match restarts. Seth in control for the most part. Steps, chairs, ring bell. Wens puts Seth through the announce table from the Mania sign. A Stunner for the win. Best match of the night.

4.5 Stars - Kevin Owens Win

Match #6 - 24/7 Championship Match - R Truth vs Gronk vs Mojo Rawley - No entertainment value from this one.

1 Star Mojo Rawley Is the new 24/7 Champ

Match #7 - WWE Universal Championship Match - Goldberg vs. Braun Strowman - Strowman fills in for Roman Reigns. A bunch of spears, a bunch of power slam and a pin.

2.5 Stars - Braun Strowman is the new Universal Champion

Match #8 - Boneyard Match - The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles - Old Cadillac Hurst… AJ in a casket… A Chopper.. The Undertaker… Or American Bad Ass… AJ in a hole… The OC… Druids… Bad Ass in the hole… AJ back in the hole… buried…

3 Stars - American Bad Ass Wins

Overall Wrestlemania Part 1 was 2.5 Stars. The Boneyard match kept my interest. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins match was the best of the night even though I didn’t want to like it. The crap that comes out of the commentators… Ugh… I will say there is something missing without the crown, but I really do like being able to hear the wrestlers talking in the ring during the match. Braun finally gets that Universal Championship. Mostly because Goldberg is too expensive, but I am glad to finally see Braun with the title.

WWE Elimination Chamber Review…

#WWEChamber

PreShow Match – The Viking Raiders vs Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder - This was an average match that didn’t maintain my attention

1.5 Stars – The Viking Raiders win

Match #1 – Daniel Bryan vs Drew Gulak – If Bryan’s beard was a bit longer they would be twins. A few decent spots in this match. Overall a poor start to the show that failed to even draw my attention.

1.5 Stars – Daniel Bryan wins – no real surprise here

Match #2 - WWE United States Championship - Andrade vs Humberto Carrillo – Another match that didn’t draw my attention. Cheating at the end is a staple for Andrade.

1 Star – Andrade retains

Match #3 – Smackdown Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match - The Miz and John Morrison vs The New Day vs The Usos vs Heavy Machinery vs Lucha House Party vs Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode – The Usos and The New Day start it off. Lucha House Part in next. The Miz and John Morrison are the 4th team in. Heavy Machinery Enter Next. Otis hits the Caterpillar on Big-E. Dorado hits a Splash from the top of the Chamber. Lucha House Party is eliminated first. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode are out last. Tucker hits a summer sault off the top of the pod onto several teams. Otis escapes the Chamber. Heavy Machinery is eliminated second. Osos hit elbows from the pods. Ziggler and Roode eliminated third. The New Day is eliminated fourth. The Usos are eliminated last. Overall a good match with lots of good action and spots throughout.

4 Stars - The Miz and John Morrison retain

Match #4 - Aleister Black vs AJ Styles – A decent match. Good spots from both sides. Interference was kept to then end, then the Undertaker balanced the scales by removing the OC.

3.5 Stars - Aleister Black wins

Match #5 – Raw Tag Team Championship Match - The Street Profits vs Seth Rollins and Murphy – Match starts with expected back and forth. AOP interferes and The Viking Raiders come out and fight them to the back. Kevin Owens comes and sits on an announce take. Throws popcorn at Rollins. Some good spots, but average overall.

3 Stars - The Street Profits retain

Match #6 - 3-on-1 Handicap WWE Intercontinental Championship Match - Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro vs Braun Strowman – Antics devolve into a one sided match.

2 Stars - Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro win – Sami Zayn is the new WWE Intercontinental Champion

Match #7 - Elimination Chamber match for a WWE Raw Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania 36 - Shayna Baszler vs Natalya vs Liv Morgan vs Asuka vs Ruby Riott vs Sarah Logan – Sarah and Natalya brought up from the B card for this match and Riott’s first match back. Poised for the Riott Squad to self-destruct. Looks like they fixed the Chamber from the Tag match earlier. Riott starts off the match vs Natalya. Logan enters next and pursues Riott. Superplex/powerbomb. Baszler enters next and eliminates Logan and Riott and Natalya. Baszler waits for the next opponent. Morgan enters and goes after Baszler. Morgan passes out and is eliminated. Baszler waits for Asuka. Asuka enters last and puts up the best fight so far, but is shortly eliminated. Fast eliminations made for slow action.

4 Stars - Shayna Baszler wins

Overall WWE Elimination Chamber gets 2.5 Stars. A show with no major title matches. Neither the WWE or Universal titles were defended on this show. The PreShow and first couple matches were not at all interesting for me. The Smackdown Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match was a good match with an ok outcome. The Womens Elimination Chamber Match was also a good watch, but was slow and lacked action. The other matches were average at best.

WWE Super ShowDown (2020) Review

WWE is back in Saudi Arabia. Show starts like a big PPV in a big arena.

Kickoff Show Match - The OC defeated The Viking Raiders. I didn’t see this match.

Match #1 - Tuwaiq Trophy Match - Match starts with R-Truth vs Bobby Lashley. Truth takes lots of bumps, but gets the pin as a fluke. Next is R-Truth vs Andrade. Truth gets the pin again as a fluke. Next is R-Truth vs Erick Rowan. Rowan is dominant over Truth, but is eventually disqualified for hitting Truth with the ring steps. Next is R-Truth vs AJ Styles. AJ submits Truth with a Calf Crusher. Next is supposed to be AJ Styles vs Rey Mysterio, but the OC attacked him. The Undertaker then attacks the OC and makes his way to the ring for AJ Styles vs The Undertaker. The undertaker Chokeslams AJ for the pin. Overall an entertaining match with a good performance by R-Truth.

4 Stars - The undertaker is the Tuwaiq Trophy Winner

Match #2 - SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match The New Day vs The Miz and John Morrison. A decent match with good back and forth and some good spots.

3.5 Stars - The Miz and John Morrison win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship

Match #5 - Mansoor vs Dolph Ziggler - Hometown Mansoor gets good pop from the crowd.

Match #6 - WWE Championship Match Brock Lesner vs Ricochet - This was the stereotypical squash match. I am not sure why they would have Ricochet take a beat like this.

1 Star - Brock Lesner retains

Match #7 - Roman Reigns vs King Corbin in a Steel Cage - This was an OK Cage match.

2 Stars - Roman Reigns wins

Match #8 - SmackDown Women’s Championship match Bayley vs Naomi - Both competitors wore full body suits and t-shirts due to local laws, Bayley used the t-shirt for the win. Match had good bumps.

3.5 Stars - Bayley retains

Match #9 - Universal Championship Match “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs Goldberg - This was a typical historical Goldberg match where he is dominant over his opponent like the WCW days. Hopefully they will do away with “The Fiend” gimmick now.

3.5 Stars - Goldberg wins the Universal Championship

Overall Super ShowDown get 2.5 stars. The opening match being the most entertaining. The rest of the show was mediocre. Both championship matches were short.

WWE NXT Takeover Portland Review

Show starts with Poppy and 2 songs… I liked the NXT EP she did and this was equally well done. Would have liked to see her sing a wrestler to the ring again, but good for WWE to NOT repeat something…

Match #1 - NXT North American Championship Keith Lee vs Dominik Dijakovic for the NXT North American Championship - Best match of the night for me. Great back and forth action and overall a well produced match. Look WWE two people don’t have to hate each other to have a great title match. Respect shown afterwards.

5 Stars - Keith Lee Retains

Match #2 - Dakota Kai vs Tegan Nox in a Street Fight - Good match till the last few minutes. WWE Why do so many matches need to end with interference?

2 Stars - Interference - Dakota Kai Wins with help from Raquel Gonzalez

Match #3 - Finn Balor vs Johnny Gargano - Good match Good back and forth action.

3.5 Stars - Finn Balor Wins

Match #4 - NXT Championship - Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair - Good match with good action and good spots. Charlotte Flair comes out after the match and puts a beat down on both competitors and declares her match for WrestleMania. Spot is well done and did not affect the match.

4 Stars - Rhea Ripley Retains

Match #5 - NXT Tag Team Championship - Undisputed Era vs. The BroserWeights - Great match UE and BW produce great spots with lots of action

4.5 Stars - BroserWeights win the NXT Tag Team Championship

Match #6 - NXT Championship - Adam Cole vs. Tommaso Ciampa - Starts off as a great match. Great spots and action. Ends on typical disappointment with the rest of UE interfering… Too Predictable. Then we have a Johnny Gargano heel turn… Ugh… WWE, Why not make all your talent Heels? Johnny’s interference causes Tommaso to lose.

3 Stars - Adam Cole Retains - Would have been 5 Stars without the predictable interference.

Overall NXT Takeover Portland get 3.5 Stars - Good matches, though 2 had disappointing endings. WWE Ends too many matches with DQ or interference.

Thanks for the Read…
