New Year's Week Blog Update

What's up everyone?

Here's a quick update on what to look forward to on the blog coming up this week:

1) Already posted are the SmackDown Live Spoilers (a link to a report I turned in to PWTorch) as well as a photo-centric review of my experience at the arena that night. Be sure to check out both of these pics.

2) There will be NO ROH reviews this week, at least as far as the weekly TV show is concerned. The last two episodes (12/21 and 12/28) have been highlight episodes, and instead of recapping a lot of what I've already recapped (or matches that have been edited down), I'm going to just pick back up next week if ROH presents a new episode of ROH.

3) I am still planning on reviewing Wrestle Kingdom 13 as it happens on the blog. I will be waking up at 2AM that morning to cover the show. God help me, but I want to see one of these big Wrestle Kingdom events live (on TV anyways). So, check out the blog here on Friday, January 4th whenever you wake up as I will have the review going by that time.

So, here's the planned schedule for my posts on here....

Monday- Raw Thoughts

Tuesday- SmackDown Live Thoughts (This time with a comparison between the TV and Live experience)

Wednesday- NXT Thoughts

Thursday- Some classic matches (Open to any suggestions of matches I have not watched. They must be on WWE Network, NJPW World, Honor Club, or YouTube for me to consider watching them.)

I may push out a quick "Best of 2018" Review post on this day as well to just discuss what I felt were the biggest things to happen in pro wrestling in 2018.

Friday- Wrestle Kingdom 13 Review (Posted in bits and pieces as the show progresses)

Saturday Night- MLW Review

Until next time, take care of yourselves. Spread some awesomeness.

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...

UnWrest Focus- Survivor Series: Team Cena vs. Team Authority (Survivor Series 2014)

A feud between those who abuse power and those who try to overcome their abuse. It's a classic storytelling trope that has been used time and time again throughout fiction and history. In 2014, that trope was brought back as The Authority looked to cement its power through their "Chosen One" Seth Rollins and his team. Meanwhile, John Cena and other disgruntled WWE employees sought to end the "Reign of Terror" of The Authority once and for all. Putting their jobs on the line, Team Cena hoped to get an opportunity to send Stephanie and Triple H away. However, fans didn't expect a traitor in the midst of Team Cena or the debut of the Franchise of WCW in a WWE ring. This is the latest edition of UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series, and it's going to be a memorable one at that. Let's do this! WWE Survivor Series 2014 11/23/14 Survivor Series Match Team Cena (John Cena, Big Show, Ryback, Erick Rowan, and Dolph Ziggler) vs. Team Authority (Seth Rollins, ...

UnWrest Focus: Survivor Series: Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels- "The Montreal Screwjob" (Survivor Series 1997)

Welcome to another edition of UnWrest Focus. For this edition, I'm going to be watching random classic moments from Survivor Series past. This can be traditional Survivor Series matches or classic moments from the Survivor Series event in general. And I'm starting this off with perhaps the most famous/infamous moment in the history of the event. It's 1997, and the WWF has its back against the wall. To make matters worse, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels aren't exactly seeing eye to eye and have had an on-air/off-air heated rivalry that has left both men trying to undermine the other. Around this time, WWF Champion Bret Hart signed a deal to leave WWF to go to WCW... at the request and urging of Vince McMahon who could not afford to pay Bret's contract or match the offer WCW was offering. But here's the problem: Vince wanted Bret to drop the title to Shawn Michaels in Montreal at Survivor Series. After some major back and forth negotiating and drama, the decision ...
