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 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 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...

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...
