MEYERS, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Announcers: Byron Saxton, Kevin Patrick<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>REASONS TO WATCH\u2026<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Rare Main Event matchup: Truth vs. Reggie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>(1) R-TRUTH vs. REGGIE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Truth controlled Reggie early with a side headlock and an arm bar. Truth fired him off the ropes then knocked him down on the rebound with a shoulder block. Truth shouted at the crowd, \u201cWhat&#8217;s up,\u201d which they mimicked in return. Truth threw Reggie between the turnbuckles shoulder-first into the ring post, then covered for a two-count. He immediately covered, this time for a one-count. Truth applied a chin lock.<\/p>\n<p>Reggie got to his feet but Truth lifted him and dropped him on his back. He whipped Reggie from corner-to-corner, causing him to smash the far turnbuckles back-first. Truth hit a second back suplex, then covered for two. Truth applied chin lock number two. Again, Reggie got to his feet and landed a few body blows. Truth went for a third suplex but this time Reggie flipped through it and got in some brief offense, including a flipping drop kick to Truth&#8217;s chest. Truth landed a few kicks and set up for a powerbomb, but at the apex of the move, Reggie rolled forward and landed behind Truth&#8217;s back. Once on the mat he rolled Truth onto his back and covered for the three-count.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Reggie by pinfall in 4:45.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: This match was not good. Reggie is more of an acrobat than a professional wrestler. Truth managed to relax the pace with two chin locks in a match that didn&#8217;t run five minutes.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>-Main Event recap session:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Replay of Heyman \/ Reigns in-ring segment from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Black Friday Battle Royal from Smackdown<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Edge \/ Miz in-ring confrontation from Raw<\/li>\n<li>Replay of Owens vs. Big E from Raw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>(2) T-BAR vs. AKIRA TOZAWA<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4216590640\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>The men locked up and T-Bar predictably overpowered Tozawa into a corner. Tozawa briefly locked on a comically feeble side headlock, but T-Bar threw him off and knocked him to the mat. T-Bar rammed Tozawa face-first into the top turnbuckle, then applied a bear hug in the middle of the ring. He hoisted Tozawa onto his shoulders, but Tozawa wriggled to freedom. He sidestepped a big boot that caused T-Bar to get his right leg hung up over the top rope. Tozawa ran the opposite ropes and drop kicked the compromised T-Bar to send him out to the floor. Tozawa ran the ropes again and dove through the ropes \u2013 his feet snagged the middle rope on his way through, so T-Bar&#8217;s intercepting crescent kick barely made contact. We cut to break.<\/p>\n<p>T-Bar controlled Tozawa with a chin lock back in the ring. He landed some kicks to Tozawa in the corner. Tozawa ran out of the corner to attack, but T-Bar easily sent him to the mat with an overhead clubbing forearm. T-Bar applied another chin lock. Tozawa stood up and landed some elbows, then ran the ropes to bounce back at T-Bar. Tozawa caught him and held him aloft in another bearhug. Tozawa briefly broke free but T-Bar trapped him with a third bearhug. Tozawa got free again and hit a missile drop kick off the top rope. With T-Bar reeling, Tozawa climbed to the top rope again. When T-Bar got to his feet, Tozawa took flight, but T-Bar caught Tozawa in mid-air. T-Bar prepared to slam him, but Tozawa countered into a big DDT, then covered T-Bar for a two-count.<\/p>\n<p>T-Bar blocked a Tozawa kick, then Tozawa spun T-Bar to the mat with a hurricanrana \/ pin combo. T-Bar kicked out at two. Tozawa landed a spin kick to T-Bar&#8217;s head, then ran the ropes. On the rebound, T-Bar got up the big boot to Tozawa&#8217;s chin. He hoisted Tozawa onto his shoulders and hit the Eyes Wide Shut, then covered for three.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: T-Bar by pinfall in 7:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Meyers\u2019s Analysis: Another not-good match. It felt like having a longer match length just gave more opportunity to be repetitive. Also, Tozawa could&#8217;ve broken his neck on his sloppy dive through the ropes and because of the spot they planned, T-Bar couldn&#8217;t be in a position to protect him. Mildly frightening.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SHOW SCORE (0-10): 6.2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Find Mike Meyers on Twitter: @themikeshow42<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT LAST WEEK&#8217;S MAIN EVENT REPORT:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2021\/11\/26\/11-24-wwe-main-event-tv-report-viking-raiders-vs-los-lotharios-gulak-vs-mansoor-more\/\">11\/24 WWE MAIN EVENT TV REPORT: Viking Raiders vs. Los Lotharios, Gulak vs. Mansoor, more<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2850509467\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-456414507\"><div id=\"pwtor-3960947589\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>WWE MAIN EVENT TV REPORT DECEMBER 1, 2021 HULU STREAMING TV REPORT BY MIKE F.
