Hell in a Cell 2018 Twitter Poll Results: The #'s Don't Lie

To finish up coverage of this week's Hell in a Cell event, I'm including the results of a couple Twitter polls I posted on Twitter @cdub1898. Thank you to any and everyone who voted in these polls. If you want to vote in the next polls, check on Twitter to see the latest polls that are up. (For example, there will be at least one poll tonight for SmackDown Live.) Here are the results (along with my thoughts)

Best Match

I'm in complete agreement with the result here. Looking back, that tag team match was the highlight of the show in general. And I understand why Hardy vs. Orton ended up in 2nd Place. No one chose to give more detail on why they picked "Other (Write)" on the poll. As is, I think this is a very good representation of the best matches of the show.

**I decided not to do a Worst Match poll since I thought the pool might be poisoned thanks to the ending of the main event.**

Overall Grade

Obviously, the bad taste of the main event altered people's thoughts of the overall show. But consider this: 63% of voters determined that the show passed some sort of test. (A-C typically show mastery or above of whatever criteria.) But more people chose the bottom option than chose either of the other three. I think that's indicative of a PPV that failed to live up to its promised marquee of "Cell matches with a finish."

Again, thank you for checking this out. For further polls and other thoughts on wrestling, check out this blog and Twitter @cdub1898. Until next time, take care of yourselves. 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...
