Hits & Misses

Opening Segment – MISS: I had mixed feelings about the start of Smackdown. I’m not a fan of this Daniel Bryan character. It is too similar to the character that failed for Juice Robinson when […]

Opening Segment – HIT: When fans talk about wanting a return to the Attitude Era, I never know what aspect of that era they are referring to. One of the aspects was unpredictability, the idea […]

SMACKDOWN HITS AND MISSES New Day Opening Segment – MISS: New Day’s act is starting to wear thin. Or I should say, it has been wearing thin for awhile now. Once upon a time, New […]

Inspired by the McMahon family and the New Year, I have decided that it is time to freshen things up here on the Raw Hits & Misses (and I will be returning later in the […]

RAW HITS Balor vs. Ziggler: I am not a big fan of what WWE is doing with this three-way feud between Finn Balor, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. But, it has resulted in some good […]

HITS Silas Young vs. Flip Gordon: Gordon challenges Young to an “I Quit” match before the match begins. As the “Last Real Man”, Young accepts but attacks Gordon cowardly before Gordon officially accepts. Ian Riccaboni, […]

RAW HITS Rollins as Top Guy: This Hit is for the idea that WWE made it clear on this night that they are getting behind Seth Rollins as the top guy on Raw. This felt […]

RAW HITS Rousey – Jax: Raw was much better this week (although not without its flaws) than last week. It got off to a hot start with the non-match of Ronda Rousey & Natalya vs. […]

HITS Kenny King vs. Christopher Daniels: Nice promo from King before the match began. King teases Daniels in regard to Daniels having one foot out of the door because his contract is just about up. […]

RAW HITS Rollins vs. Ziggler: After a terrible first two hours of Raw, we finally got the first and only Hit with this Intercontinental Championship match with Dolph Ziggler answering Seth Rollins’ open challenge. I did […]

HITS The Kingdom (Matt Taven & TK O’Ryan) vs. The Boys: Before the match, Taven infers that The Kingdom vs. The Boys is a joke. Taven sends TK O’Ryan to the commentary booth because Taven […]

HITS Dalton Castle, Taven, and The Kingdom: This started out as Castle discussing how hard he worked to get back after dealing with all of the injuries he faced this year that ultimately cost him […]

RAW HITS Banks & Bayley vs. Jax & Tamina:This was a pretty good tag match. Sasha Banks and Bayley continue to be wasted on Raw, but they performed well and carried Nia Jax & Tamina […]

HITS Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane (NXT Women’s Championship Match, 2 out of 3 Falls):  This match did not exactly kick off the show, but it was the first substantial match and it did not […]

RAW HITS Strowman: I give WWE credit for addressing some of the problems with the stupid Raw vs. Smackdown theme for Survivor Series. I appreciate the fact that Braun Strowman told Stephanie McMahon to her […]

HITS Shane Taylor vs. Jeff Cobb (Non-title match): This match was exactly what I thought it would be and that was a battle of two big powerful men. Both big men were able to get […]

HITS Undisputed Era/War Raiders/Ricochet/Pete Dunne Brawl:Great segment as this replaced the match between Adam Cole & Bobby Fish vs. The War Raiders. What was so brilliant was that you never saw it coming. It was […]

RAW HITS Seth Rollins: The first hour of Raw was pretty bad (more later). The second hour got off to a much better start with the promo from Seth Rollins. I didn’t like how he […]

HITS Silas Young vs. ECW Original The Sandman: Before the match, Bully comes out and runs off Bobby Cruise because he wants to explain the stipulation for this match. After Young makes his entrance, Flip […]
