Website Update (July 26, 2018)

What's up everyone? As you can tell, I'm back from vacation and ready to get things going again on the blog. I have a few quick updates on what's happening with the blog.

1) I have just finished getting caught up on all the G1 Climax action up to July 26th. So, starting with today's show (which is already posted on the blog), I'll be putting the day's G1 action on the website.

2) The main Unwrest blog will return tomorrow night (Friday). I haven't had a chance to watch NXT or ROH with all the G1 coverage I needed to get caught up on. So, after the marathon coverage I did over the last two days to get that done, I'm giving myself more time to get the main blog ready. So, check it out tomorrow night. I should have it done by 9-10pm at the latest.

3) I will also be catching up on Extreme Rules from a couple weeks ago. I've heard some "interesting" things about this show as far as crowd participation is concerned. So, I look forward to watching the entire thing. I also will be getting caught up on the ROH show that happened last week.

4) Until further notice, I'm not doing any more lists of 'Best of.' This is at least until the end of next month. Between finishing the G1, doing the weekly post, SummerSlam, and any other thing going on in my own life, I won't have the chance to be doing these posts through August or likely September for that matter.

Thank you all for your support of the blog. Remember to share it with any of your wrestling friends and leave comments on your thoughts on the shows covered or comments on what you like to see on the website.

Until next 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...
