Hits & Misses

Keith Lee Asks for a moment, Vacates North American Championship – HIT : The show kicked off with William Regal on a Zoom call saying that NXT North American and NXT Champion, Keith Lee asked […]

Opening Segment – MISS: I don’t want difficult to pronounce medical terms at the heart of wrestling angles. This continues to be a terrible storyline with Rey Mysterio’s eye coming out of its socket at […]

Bask In His Glory, Lee Addresses Audience – HIT : The show kicked off with a video package with seemingly every NXT star saying Keith Lee’s name over and over again, which actually came across […]

•Cody vs. Sonny Kiss – HIT: This was the biggest and best match of Sonny Kiss’s career. Kiss has a unique look and character that professional wrestling has largely degraded throughout its history. Kiss is […]

VIP Lounge – MISS: I have enjoyed MVP’s return to WWE, but he is on the verge of being overexposed when he is managing Bobby Lashley and appearing with him in multiple segments while also […]

•Final impact – HIT: I was already looking forward to Slammiversary with a mix of excitement (new, exciting characters to explore) and apprehension (old, tired, damaged talent sucking up the oxygen from the people they […]

So when I get mad, I make a fist. I grab my pen and I write out a list. Of all the wrestling stuff that hit and missed. Let’s see who’s made our WWE Smackdown […]

•Final impact – HIT: Did I really give every segment of this show HITs? I guess I did. Everything I watched ranged from pleasant to good. It was a very solid show, the menagerie of […]

•Mia Yim vs Candice LaRae – Street Fight – HIT : Candice barely made her way out out from backstage before Mia Yim attacked her from behind. I personally appreciated how quickly they jumped into […]

•Private Party vs. Kenny Omega & Hangman Page – HIT: Good match delivering what would be expected from these two teams. The reason for this taking place was due to the AEW Championship being shelved […]

Heath Slater – HIT: I wasn’t sold entirely early on with the use of Heath Slater. Dolph Ziggler wanted to use him to make Drew McIntyre look like a jerk. The problem is that it […]

So when I get mad, I make a fist.  I grab my pen and I write out a list.  Of all the wrestling stuff that hit and missed.  Let’s see who’s made our WWE Smackdown […]

Final impact – PUSH: I knew there was going to be somewhat of a decline as Impact seeks to right the ship in the wake of so many high-profile departures. I think Moose’s storyline has […]

Jurassic Express vs. MJF & Wardlow – HIT What a way to open the show. Great energy with a lot of fun that set the correct tone for the show. Everyone came off like an […]

Fatal Four Way Elimination – Tegan Nox vs. Mia Yim vs. Candice LaRae vs. Dakota Kai – 50/50: This made the most sense to me as the opening match. With Fyter Fest opposite The Great […]

Contract Signing – MISS: I give WWE credit for starting Raw off with a bang with Asuka brawling against Sasha Banks and Bayley. My problem is that WWE almost never starts a show with wrestlers […]

Final Impact – PUSH: Well, it has been an interesting couple of weeks for Impact Wrestling as they’ve undoubtedly had to scramble after cutting ties with Joey Ryan, Dave Crist, Michael Elgin as repercussions stemming […]

Wardlow vs. Luchasaurus – HIT A great showcase for Wardlow. He has proven himself to be an excellent pick-up who doesn’t fit the typical mold of most AEW wrestlers. My biggest issue with the match […]

Cameron Grimes vs. Damian Priest – HIT : Before the match started, we were shown a back stage spot where Priest was attacked. This was a high energy match between these two up and comers. […]

So when I get mad, I make a fist. I grab my pen, and I write out a list. Of all the wrestling stuff that hit and missed. Let’s see who’s made our WWE Smackdown […]

Opening Segment – MISS: I appreciated the fact that Raw started off with a narrator running down the big matches for the show. That is a simple thing that AEW does very well with Dynamite […]

•Final impact – HIT: A good episode overall but, with the exception of the opening match between the Rascalz and The North, not the best example for in-ring wrestling. However, there is a whole host […]

•Kenny Omega & Hangman Page vs. Natural Nightmares – MISS One of the more pedestrian matches for Kenny Omega & Hangman Page. The Natural Nightmares also felt like much weaker opponents because almost all of […]

•NXT Tag Team Championship Match – Imperium (Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel) vs. Breezango (Tyler Breeze & Fandango) – 50/50: The first of two tag team matches here tonight! Breezango’s entrance as “Emporium”, a throwback […]
