Rhea Ripley addresses the crowd, brawl ensues, becomes Six Women Tag – MISS: The crowd began chanting “You deserve it!” before she even brought the microphone to her mouth. I can’t agree more. Toni Storm’s […]
Overall – HIT: And… we’re back. After a hiatus due to the holidays, Impact Wrestling returns with the final episode before their next PPV event, Hard to Kill. They have done a great job setting […]
OPENING MONTAGE – HIT: This continued to drive the Tim Storm-Nick Aldis feud by creating a clear picture of a tale of two Aldises: Is he the overconfident National Treasure or the weak champ afraid […]
Lesnar in the Rumble – HIT: I was very intrigued by the announcement from Paul Heyman that Brock Lesnar would not defend the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, but compete in the Rumble itself […]
Opening Segment – MISS: When I think about watching Smackdown lately, the word that comes to mind in “tedious.” It feels like a chore to watch, which doesn’t mean that there aren’t good parts of […]
Opening Segment – HIT: The final Raw of the decade got off to a hot start with the opening segment featuring Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins & The Authors of Pain, and Samoa Joe. Owens was […]
WWE SMACKDOWN PRIMER JANUARY 3, 2020 MEMPHIS, TN. AT THE FEDEXFORUM AIRS ON FOX NETWORK, 8:00 p.m. EST BY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR Announcers: Michael Cole, Corey Graves Arena, Top 10 Moments of Last […]
OPENING MONTAGE – HIT: This was 30-45 seconds of retelling the most recent chapter of Tim Storm vs Nick Aldis with a haunting piano playing one note at a time. The lines of Aldis telling […]
Main Event Starts & Stops – MISS: WWE often will do something like this, having the main event early in the show only because of some storyline reason which doesn’t make sense. In this case, […]
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a heck of a 2020 to everyone! Roderick Strong North American Title Open Challenge – HIT: The show was kicked off with a pants wearing Pat McAfee, Cathy Kelly, and the […]
OPENING MONTAGE – HIT: This is consistently a hit for Power because they give you more than enough replays of the last couple weeks or more of the big storyline, but they add enough and […]
Opening Segment – HIT: This Hit is mostly for Daniel Bryan’s babyface promo which started Smackdown. That was a very strong promo. I like Bryan’s new/old look. It is crazy how much younger he looks […]
Overall – HIT: This is a really good show that had a “go home” type feel to it despite there being one episode before the PPV, Hard to Kill. Some last-minute feuds were added or […]
Overall – PUSH: This is a middle of the road show. Nothing that is presented is what I’d call “must watch” as is the case with most of these Impact Plus specials. I like to […]
Adam Cole (c) vs. Finn Balor for the NXT Championship: HIT – The fact that we are in an era where the women’s championship goes on after the men’s title is a wonderful thing. Mauro […]
OPENING MONTAGE – HIT: It’s a bit jarring to not see the thread of Kamille and her saga as our intro into tonight’s Power but it’s a new season as well. This was a short […]
Seth Rollins – HIT: Seth Rollins had a good night starting with the opening promo where he talked about joining up with the Authors of Pain and doing what he had to do to Kevin […]
ELI DRAKE VS. KEN ANDERSON – MISS: So for much of the lead up to this match (as well as with most of the NWA feuds so far), it never seemed apparent who is heel […]
Jon Moxley vs. Alex Reynolds and Jericho Promo – HIT: Nice squash to open to a hot crowd. This is how Jon Moxley should’ve been booked in week 1. He comes out, lays out a jobber […]
Angel Garza vs. Lio Rush (c) for the NXT Cruiserweight Championship – HIT: We had a taste of this match this week on 205 live. Admittedly, I did not see the match but I did see […]
Overall – HIT: Despite what I thought was a poor start to the show with the RVD/Rhino match, and the first pretty big MISS in the Tessa Blanchard story, I like the overall show. My […]
Overall – HIT: This was a good if otherwise unspectacular show. It felt more like a safe filler episode, one barely moving any of the current storylines forward. Some, like the story of “Suzie” and […]
The Young Bucks & Dustin Rhodes vs. Sammy Guevara & Santana & Ortiz – HIT: Fun opener with some memorable sequences. The finish of the match with the double Meltzer Driver was a memorable visual […]
Mauro Returns: HIT- I was so glad to see Mauro Ranallo back in the booth tonight. His announcing style may not be for everybody, but as far as I’m concerned there isn’t a better announcer […]
