UnWrest Update- Format Changes and Schedule of Things to Come

What's up everyone?

I just wanted to share a few developments.

First of all, I want to thank everyone for checking out the blog. It has officially crossed 8,000 views now. Considering the blog just kicked off towards the middle of June 2018, I am very happy with this fact. A lot of the older posts have been reposted on social media in the past week plus. And those have gained some renewed attention to the blog as well.

Secondly, I am now on Pinterest. So, share that page if you want: https://www.pinterest.com/unwrest/unwrest/ . The idea is to spread the social media output of the blog in order to spread awareness of what I'm doing here. And in a few months, I may have a bigger arm of this project going out into social media. More on that if/when it comes to fruition.

Next, while I will be continuing my reviews of Ring of Honor, New Japan, and MLW, I do not plan on buying many Ring of Honor PPVs going forward into the new year. That doesn't mean that I won't do it, but I expect the level of attention I gave ROH on its PPV events to diminish significantly in light of the emergence of AEW.

Speaking of AEW, I will be doing a live recap of All Elite Wrestling's big rally Tuesday at 5pm (assuming that the live feed holds up on YouTube).

There will also be a format change going forward. While I will continue to share the "UnWrest" logo on many of my weekly TV reviews, I will no longer label those reviews with the "UnWrest" label. It is basically both a time-saving and confusion-reducing measure. I may end up rebranding the Focus and the Focus Rewind into "Rivalries" and "Classics" as well in order to simplify things.

Finally, here's the schedule for what to expect this week
Monday- Raw Thoughts
Tuesday- AEW Rally Reaction
- SmackDown Live Thoughts
Wednesday- MLW 1/4/19 and NXT 1/9/19 Thoughts
Thursday or Friday- ROH 1/4/19 Thoughts (Thursday might be a busy day on my end.)

** If I have any other extra time in the next week, I will try to get in a classic match or two to review (from an old Royal Rumble or Wrestle Kingdom most likely).

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...
