This Week's Agenda + Thank You

What's up everyone?

First of all, I want to say THANK YOU. Thank you to everyone who has checked out the blog, spread the word about this blog, and continues to follow along. The ROH reviews both ended up being among the most read blogs of the 2 weeks I've been doing this. That tells me there is an audience for ROH reviews and blogs. So, I will continue to do my best to watch the ROH product and provide analysis on what I'm seeing. I've only recently started watching the brand full-time, but I am going back to watch older content from the last couple years on Honor Club. If you have any thoughts about this or other content you would want me to add to the website, let me know.

Here's an update for what to expect this week on UnWrest...

Discussion Vol.2- Favorite Matches of the Last 28 Years- Again, this is going to be a list of my personal favorite matches from each decade leading to my Top Ten Favorite Matches of the Last 28 Years Overall. 

Thursday- The Weekly UnWrest Blog covering the big happenings on WWE and ROH TV as well as the Podcast of the Week and Rewind Match (an EXTREME Rewind match, at that).  IF NJPW World adds anything from the recent shows in the UK, I'll cover those on here as well.

Classic Wrestling Review: Picking a WWE/WCW/ECW/ROH/NJPW event to watch back and review on this page. I'll take any suggestions or requests you may have here below. The only caveat is that it has to be available on WWE Network, NJPW World, or Honor Club. (And left to my own devices, it's probably going to be an ROH show, Bay Bay).

SATURDAY- Coverage of the NJPW G1 Special from San Francisco with live blogging starting at 8.

Updates to the Website
I'm still working on changing up the color scheme of the website. The layout is going to probably itself remain the same for now. But I'm still tinkering with the site. So, if you check in and things look a little weird, it's probably because I'm in the process of working through the website and changing things up.

About The Next Couple Weeks
I will be limited in the amount of coverage I will have on the website the next couple weeks. Next week should have some new posts on it. The week after will be most likely a week off from posting on the website as I will be away. I might get a post or two on if I can find the time on a stormy day. As promised, when I return, I will be catching up on G1 Coverage somehow. A working plan is to do just the G1 matches on the first week plus (July 14-23), completely ignoring whatever happened on the undercard. The other option is to cover everything and just eventually get caught up with the daily shows. We'll see what option I end up taking.

Thank you all again. Leave any comments. Next post will be up either Tuesday Night or Wednesday.

Until that time, take care of yourselves and spread some awesomeness.

WWE Evolution Predictions + Thoughts on An Underpromoted All-Women PPV

Credit: WWE WWE Evolution Promotional Poster This should feel like a bigger deal. After all, this is the first time ever that an All-Women PPV is taking place under the WWE corporate umbrella. But WWE has done a great job of completely killing the show with an uninspired card, lack of promotion, lack of interest overall, and finding a million different other things to promote to undermine the event. Still, some fans (like myself) want to give the women their due and hope to enjoy this show. Here's a rundown of the card and my predictions for each match: 1) Raw Women's Championship: Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Nikki Bella If this goes longer than 5 minutes, it's definitely too long. As good as Nikki can be in the ring (at times), Rousey should just absolutely massacre her. The only ways to prolong this match in a realistic way would be 1) an injury angle or 2) Twin Magic with Brie interfering. Otherwise, this should be short and awesome. Prediction: Ronda Retains 2)...

WWE TLC 2018 Review- Tables and Ladders and Chairs, Oh My!  

        HERE WE GO!    Pre-Show   1) WWE Cruiserweight Championship   Buddy Murphy (champ) vs. Cedric Alexander   They started this match early. Apparently, they wanted just as many fans in the arena as there usually are in 205 Live matches for this to give it the authentic feel.   The bell rings. A lot of tie-ups and switches to start up the match to a good reaction from the crowd. A Loud 205 Chant. Alexander takes down Murphy to the floor. Really good back and forth action here with both men moving quickly. Alexander catches Murphy with a dropkick for a 2 count. BIG KNEE to the head of Alexander sends him to the floor. Murphy flies off the top rope and hits a Meteora (maybe that’s what they were going for?) for a 2 count. Murphy has the advantage for a few moments, including a power choke on the corner on Alexander. He jumps off it to eat a SUPERKICK to the chest. Crowd seems invested in the matc...

WWE Super Show-Down 2018 Review: Last Time Ever Delivers + Some Other Solid Matches

Another big show in the WWE this year will happen today as WWE comes from Melbourne, Australia in front of 70,000 people. A lot of big matches are happening here. Let's Do This! No Pre-Show today. It's straight to the show. The new WWE opening takes place, and we get a WWE video package putting over the show and the LAST TIME EVER match. It looks like the Raw Announce Team will be calling the show. We go to the arena, and they've already spent more money on fireworks than they have for WWE programming this year. 70,309 in attendance. For once, the entrance way is understated. 1) SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship The Bar vs. The New Day (c) I wonder if Vince/WWE Management is ordering people to run the aisle tonight. Both tag teams were doing that coming to the ring.  Nice back and forth action with Kingston and Cesaro, along with Woods after getting the tag. Woods and Kingston had an awesome sequence of moves to start off. The Bar a minute later catches bot...
