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 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 ...
