One thing that is refreshing to see in WWE is the fact that superstars have a greater amount of freedom when cutting promos on the mic. This started probably right after WrestleMania this year, so the credit for this cannot be taken by Paul Heyman. As an example, Dolph Ziggler made a subtle remark about … Read moreAudibling

I have to sincerely apologize for my references to NXT Takeover and SummerSlam emanating from Brooklyn because that is absolutely wrong. Both events will be airing on the WWE Network on August 11 (2019) from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Brooklyn has been conditioned into me for the past four years, so my apologies.

The pace at which NXT is moving will begin to speed up in the next six weeks or so as we approach Takeover: Brooklyn, which was established as NXT’s biggest Takeover event started in 2015. It coincides with WWE’s build to its second-biggest pay-per-view, SummerSlam. It is great to see WWE working towards building the … Read morePace Will Pick Up

Eric Bischoff officially started running SmackDown Live after Extreme Rules, and the Bischoff era kicked off with Shane McMahon conducting an excellent segment. I fully assume this segment had the intention behind it of introducing new superstars that the WWE universe is not quite as familiar with, like Buddy Murphy (who may have earned himself … Read moreBischoff’s First Official Week

The highlight of the night was Seth Rollins clinching yet another opportunity at the Universal Championship. This is typical of WWE to repeat storylines as opposed to introducing new concepts. Rollins is definitely deserving of a rematch, just maybe not right now. I almost got a little too excited when Randy Orton was the second … Read moreRollins Rematch

Evolve 131 Exceeds Expectations First of all, if anyone missed Evolve 131 because you were watching the AEW event or something entirely different, you missed a spectacular show and a glimpse at the future of the wrestling industry (which will be headlined by people like Josh Briggs and Austin Theory). It was incredibly smart of … Read moreEvolve 10th Anniversary Special

The three most surprising events which took place at the pay-per-view were: Brock Lesnar cashing in Shinsuke Nakamura becoming Intercontinental Champion And all three members of The New Day leaving the event as champions Let’s start with Lesnar, shall we? We all have no choice but to give Lesnar major credit because every time he … Read moreThe Beast is Back

SmackDown Live has been producing shows of better quality over the last few months. My theory is that Vince McMahon had a somewhat difficult time trusting different people to orchestrate the show after the Road Dogg got frustrated with all the last-minute script changes and left the position. He still teaches character development to up-and-comers … Read moreSD Superior Quality

It can’t be just me. Is anyone else looking more forward to the United States Championship match at Extreme Rules than the Universal/Raw Women’s Championship match? Also, when I first heard that Extreme Rules was going to air from Philadelphia (Paul Heyman has plenty of history in that location from his ECW days), a wrestling … Read moreExtreme Rules Countdown

Kevin Owens may have turned babyface yet again. He has undergone a few character changes since WrestleMania, primarily because of Daniel Bryan. When Bryan was sidelined right after ‘Mania with an injury, Kevin Owens abruptly turned heel right before Money in the Bank in order to provide Kofi Kingston with a legitimate opponent, This did … Read moreKO Face Turn

WWE is reportedly producing an edgier product. By edgier, I mean the use of cuss words and the middle finger gesture. Bischoff and Heyman surely had something to do with this in an attempt to appeal to the younger male demographic, specifically teenagers. The company seems to be reverting back to the strategy that worked … Read moreAppeal to Young Males

Mia Yim is working her way toward the NXT Women’s Championship, and she deserves it as well. You gotta love it (credit to Booker T for that catchphrase). Kushida is also displaying just how technically sound and adaptable he is to any in-ring style. I also cannot wait to see what Killian Dain and the … Read moreMia Yim Pushes Forward
