Coming Soon to UnWrest...

What's up everyone?

First, I hope you are all enjoying the Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat series on UnWrest Focus. I know I talked about it for weeks, and I'm glad to have finally been able to get it off the ground and done today. The rebranded Focus is up and running now. And this was the best rivalry to start it off. Check it out if you get a chance. (The 3rd post, WrestleWar 89, has links to the other two.)

Secondly, I'm announcing that I'm doing a second UnWrest Focus over the next few weeks. Courtesy of one of my brothers from another mother (who does an awesome Ric Flair impersonation by the way that could rival Jay Lethal), I will be covering the Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels rivalry from 2008. This will include reviews for their matches at Judgment Day, The Great American Bash 2008, Unforgiven 2008, and No Mercy 2008. I will also attempt to hit the key moments in their rivalry, though I will probably be missing a couple things here or there.

**** Go to twitter.com/cdub1898 if you want to vote for the next rivalry I take a look at. The poll is currently pinned on my page. The options are Cena vs. Punk from 2011 to 2013, Austin vs. Rock (WrestleMania XV, X-Seven, and XIX), Omega vs. Okada (2017-2018), and Sting vs. Vader (1992-1994). "Winner winner, chicken dinner" for whatever gets the most votes. So, if you have a preference, click on the link and vote.****

Next, here's the rundown for what I'm covering this week...

Sunday- NJPW Destruction (Tanahashi vs. Okada)

Monday- (Twitter) Raw Thoughts

Tuesday- (Twitter) SmackDown Live Thoughts

Friday- UnWrest: Weekly TV Thoughts

When I Get Them Done: Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels- UnWrest Focus

Note: I will NOT be covering ROH's Death Before Dishonor. To me, it's a lazily thrown together show, and I'm not spending $20 for a glorified house show. Final Battle will likely get a buy from me.

Finally, I am kicking around doing a DDP Yoga blog update on here daily. I know this is a wrestling review website, but DDP Yoga is about as wrestling related as exercise programs have been. I've done the program before, but I got off of it. I gained a few too many pounds. And I recently made the commitment to buy into the program for a full year to put my $$$ down on getting back in shape. So, if you are interested in seeing that, or if you want me to make a sister blog for DDP Yoga blogs, let me know what you think. I'm looking at starting this in a week.

Hope you are all enjoying the blog. Comment with any ideas or suggestions. 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 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...
