Hits & Misses

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. […]

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 […]

Opening Segment – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with the segment involving Randy Orton and Christian. It was a good follow up to Orton vs. Edge from Backlash the night before. It […]

•Ultimate impact – HIT: While I don’t think this has been the strongest of the most recent batch of episodes overall, that is not a knock since that has been a decently high bar as […]

•EDDIE KINGSTON INTRO – HIT: If you ever wanted to hear a great promo cut on racism by a white person without sounding patronising or tone deaf? This is it. I could ticky tack about […]

•The Butcher & The Blade vs. FTR – HIT: FTR as the sport-like wrestlers AEW needed. Tony Khan has preached about AEW being a sports oriented presentation of wrestling focusing on the athletes and their […]

Fish & Strong are Undisputedly Not Kidnapped, Cole Addresses His “In Your House” Victory – HIT : We saw Fish and Strong get kidnapped during Cole vs Dream at IYH by Dexter Lumis, and if […]

Ultimate impact – HIT: The main event threatened to bring down my enjoyment of the whole episode, five weeks of investment tossed aside for a nonsensical final tournament match, compounded by similar shenanigans over on […]

Opening Segment – MISS: There were things that I liked about the opening segment of Raw, but a lot of it was just annoying. The biggest issue is that five out of the six women […]

•In Your House Intro & Overall Presentation – HIT: This was such a nostalgic show in so many ways. From the name of the show itself, to the logo and colors, to Todd Pettengill starting […]

•Kip Sabian & Jimmy Havoc vs. Kenny Omega & Hangman Page – HIT A good showcase match for Kenny Omega and Hangman Page. They make a great team and as a fan it’s satisfying to […]
