Hits & Misses

•Final impact – HIT: If there was any doubt that the AEW champion coming to Impact was not a last-minute hot-shot angle, Impact readied a show where they put their best foot forward without sacrificing […]

Women’s War Games Shotzi Blackheart, Rhea Ripley, Ember Moon & Io Shirai vs. Candace LaRae, Dakota Kai, Raquel Gonzales & Toni Storm Kicking the night off with a bang, Women’s War Games! Shotzi upgraded her […]

HITS •Roman Reigns No fancy title needed here. Roman Reigns is, far and away, the best act in WWE today. His role as the gaslighting, abusive leader of the pack is outrageously well-acted and remarkablely […]

•Final impact – HIT This was a solid show, albeit barely. It mainly served to set up storylines for the upcoming Final Resolution special in December and the Hard to Kill PPV in January. There […]

•Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal – HIT A well executed and thoughtful battle royal. AEW has had a good record of putting together battle royals that are more than just tossing people over the top […]

Tribute to Pat Patterson A somber tribute to one of the greatest in professional wrestling, Pat Patterson, kicked off tonight’s show. Set to “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, it was a wonderful slideshow and showcase […]

Final impact – PUSH: This was an okay, but easily skippable Impact Plus special, unless you are a completest and want to see two titles change hands. They pushed Turning Point hard, treating it like […]

•Owens Awakened We were always headed to this collision course between Kevin Owens and Roman Reigns.  Chalk it up to a shallow talent roster, a non-existent upper midcard, and underdeveloped characters, but it has always […]

•Hangman Page vs. John Silver – MISS John Silver is one heck of a worker, but his affiliation with Dark Order is making less sense. Is he actually better than his record suggests, but Dark […]

Candice LaRae w/ Indi Hartwell vs. Ember Moon The odds were completely stacked against Ember Moon throughout this match. Interference from not just Hartwell, but Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzales played major parts throughout the […]

Candace LaRae w/ Indi Hartwell vs. Ember Moon The odds were completely stacked against Ember Moon throughout this match. Interference from not just Hartwell, but Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzales played major parts throughout the […]

Opening Segment – MISS: I like the fact that there was a positive consequence for Team Raw for sweeping Team Smackdown at Survivor Series. The fact that that win got them all consideration for a […]

HITS •A Good Time To Move On: The Seth Rollins extended storyline with Murphy, by way of the Mysterios, found itself a satisfying conclusion last night. Murphy in particular is walking away from it all […]

•The Young Bucks vs. Top Flight – HIT I’ve been very fortunate to be able to watch Top Flight break into the independent scene in Minneapolis. They worked as Air Wolf (Darius Martin) and Angel […]

Main Event Hype – HIT: WWE did a good job throughout the show of hyping the main event WWE Title match between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre. It started with the opening segment where we […]

•Brian Cage vs. Matt Sydal – HIT A classic big man, little man match-up. Brian Cage looked dominant, showing off his power and agility. Matt Sydal shined through doing something spectacular for every hope spot. […]

HITS •Land of the Big Dog(s) I cringed when I heard the opening bars of Drew McIntyre’s music which instantly signified the further deterioration of the brand split.  However, the combination of McIntyre and Roman […]

Johnny Gargano’s Wheel Of Challengers Everybody knows that Johnny Gargano loves wheels. He opened the show with a wheel in the center of the ring with challenger names on it. Dexter Lumis, Pete Dunne, Adam […]

Miz TV – MISS: So Raw is centering around their Team Raw men’s and women’s teams for Survivor Series. Both of those teams can’t get along. There is so much of the storytelling on Raw […]

HITS •The Big One Finally being able to “win the big one” has been a long standing storyline in wrestling, and in Sasha Banks’s case, it has been maintaining “the big one.” By retaining the […]

•MJF & Wardlow vs. Sammy Guevara & Ortiz – HIT Sammy Guevara was incredible. He showed off his athleticism and potential as a future babyface. He took it to MJF who ultimately got the win. […]

Opening Segment – MISS: The opening segment didn’t do much for me. Randy Orton has done some very good mic work in 2020, but this was not an example. It was more of the boring, […]
