Hits & Misses

RAW HITS Gauntlet: Overall, the very long gauntlet match that took up nearly the first two hours of Raw was very good. I had some issues with it which I will explore in the Miss […]

HITS SoCal Uncensored Opening Promo: Christopher Daniels and Scorpio Sky are backstage, and they address what’s happened recently with Final Battle and their attack on The Bullet Club. Daniels and Sky discuss the end is […]

HITS Roderick Strong vs. Pete Dunne (UK Championship): This was a very good match.  It was a clash of styles with Pete Dunne being more methodical as Roderick Strong’s style is fast, but both are hard […]

SMACKDOWN HITS Opening Segment: While I wasn’t overly thrilled with the storyline that led to this (more later), I enjoyed the opening to the show. It was nice to see an episode begin without another […]

HITS Dalton Castle Opens the Show: Dalton Castle always delivers. His opening promo was straight and to the point. He mentions he’s come to Nashville for one thing and that’s to leave with his ROH […]

HITS Sonjay Dutt: It was completely disheartening to hear Josh Mathews remain on commentary after news broke that a new team was taking over. And initially, it was a downer to hear Dutt on the […]

HITS: None: This week was not an impressive week for NXT.  The focus was on some feuds that have ran their courses as well as lackluster action from some of the less stellar members of the […]

HITS Best Friends (Trent Beretta & Chuckie T) vs. Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley – Current ROH World Tag Champs): This was a very good opening match. I thoroughly enjoyed. The […]

HITS Wrestling!: Last week’s episode of Impact was heavily wrestling based. That was due to it being billed as a pseudo-pay-per-view-type event. Thankfully, this week’s edition followed that trend. With the match totals combined, we […]

This week’s program is the first since this past weekend’s phenomenal Takeover: Philadelphia.  Most of this episode consisted of recaps of the event and interviews with some of the participants after their matches.  This week […]

SMACKDOWN HITS Opening Segment: The show got off to a good start by having the winner of the Royal Rumble, Shinsuke Nakamura, open the show. It was fresh, and put the rightful spotlight on the […]

HITS The Grand Championship Match: Imagine that, Impact ditches the silly and convoluted Grand Championship rules for the night and the division produces its best match ever. That’s still not even saying much! EC III […]

HITS Punishment Martinez vs. Dobbs: One of the many reasons that I enjoy ROH is that we get matches like this. We all knew when this match started who was going to win but to […]

This past episode of NXT was its go home show before Takeover: Philadelphia.  As go home shows go, this was not the most exciting, but it served its purpose in setting up for this weekend’s […]

SMACKDOWN HITS Chad Gable vs. Jey Uso: This was a good match that continued to put the spotlight on Gable, who has really stepped up in recent weeks. Both combatants put on a fun contest […]

HITS Matt Taven Attacks Dalton Castle: At the end of last week’s show and after we went off air, we are shown Matt Taven attacking Dalton Castle. Taven tells us that if ROH doesn’t want […]

HITS Barbed Wire Massacre 3 Hype: The situation surrounding this match has to lead to a big old miss. H owever, Impact sure as hell made Barbed Wire Massacre feel like a major event throughout […]

  HITS Bobby Roode becomes U.S. Champion: For a rather dull episode (more later), this was the shining moment over the two hour show. Throughout his tenure in NXT, Bobby was presented as nothing less […]

HITS Zelina Vega and Johnny Gargano Promos: Now this is the Johnny Gargano that I and other fans of NXT have been waiting to see.  I wrote before how Gargano speaks with no emotion or drive.  […]
