Blog Update: A Change to UnWrest (September 2, 2018)

What's up everyone?

I've been toying around with doing a couple new things on the blog. Today, I'm announcing a couple new changes to the blog.

1) UnWrest will now be posted on Saturdays going forward. This gives me an opportunity to review every Raw, Smackdown, NXT, ROH, and (maybe) Impact Wrestling show going forward throughout the week as well as listen to the major podcasts that have been posted that week.

2) I'm thinking about doing another FOCUS post, this time on a rivalry instead of an individual wrestler. How about this: a FOCUS on the rivalry of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Ric Flair where I watch and review the 3 classic matches from 1989? Or how about a focus on the Stone Cold vs. The Rock WrestleMania run? Let me know what you think.

3) As of now, I will NOT be covering ROH's Death Before Dishonor show. I will be covering the NJPW Long Island show after it airs on AXS (it happens on September 30th). So, it will be posted sometime that week whenever I get a chance. I will also be covering the Destruction tour shows once they start up on NJPW World.

Any other wrestling match or show you want to see me cover on the blog? You think I should cover ROH Death Before Dishonor? Comment below with your thoughts and opinions.

Take care everyone, and spread some awesomeness.

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...

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 Stomping Grounds 2019 Review

What's up everyone, It's the sequel to WWE Super Showdown as WWE presents the first ever Stomping Grounds event. Will this be an annual thing or go the way of "Great Balls of Fire?" We'll find out later. Anyways, stay here throughout the night if you are reading live (or keep reading if you are seeing this afterwards) as I am providing live thoughts of the show. WWE Stomping Grounds Tacoma, WA June 23, 2019 Pre-Show - A preview is shown of Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston in a Steel Cage Match. This doesn't feel like a WWE Championship match. Rather, it feels like a Raw 2011 mid-card match for the United States Championship. And worse at that. At least 2011 had Vickie Guerrero at ringside yelling "EXCUSE ME!" - In a cool bit, Booker T is in the steel cage showing off the cage for the pre-show audience. That was a cool visual. - Coach is so much better on the Kickoff Panel than he ever was behind the announce table. If WWE does ge...
