Welll…who else saw…that finish coming?! How funny was it when you think about it….at the start of 2015, Roman Reigns was booed by the Philadelphia Crowd as he won the Royal Rumble Match…fast forward to TLC and they are cheering him! Funny how much can change in a year?! First off, Sheamus retained the Championship (Who didn’t see that coming) after a decent match with a few good spots but nothing special and the crowd didn’t sound like it wasn’t in to it! We want Cena! Daniel Bryan and NXT chants throughout…yet after the match finished, we see HHH come out to check on Sheamus and….

271_TLC_12132015rf_6040-1922118013.jpg

Roman Reigns snaps…he destroys the League of Nations single handily, I don’t get that bit…it just confirms that the group was a big mistake if you ask me because this isn’t the first time that he’s beaten them up! and then beats the hell out of HHH and the crowd was into it! ‘Thank You Roman!’ chants broke out and it was good…Badass Roman arrives at long last and I am happy about that! But as much as it was good, I feel as if WWE will screw this up somehow…it’s WWE after all! They won’t turn him Heel because he is to be Cena’s heir! One question….why can’t the top guy be a Heel? Just a thought but Roman Reigns as a heel…I’ll stop complaining about WWE! I’ll praise Roman Reigns because this works, he beats up everyone and looks cool doing it…hang on…comes out and destroys everyone??? Who does that remind you off!

Kane_crop_north.jpg

 

When Kane debuted, he was a badass! Entrance was spine chilling, he destroyed everything and everyone in his wake every week and scared everybody! I saw a bit of that in Reigns tonight, he took out 4 superstars alone and the boss as well and it’s something he can do weekly and people will love it, because it’s more believable as a Heel…A face Reigns is unbelievable and dull to watch…he’s a smug bastard who people want to see destroy people for fun and not give a damn! I thought that if you put Kane and John Cena together, you get a Roman Reigns! No cheesy lines WWE!

278_TLC_12132015rf_5690-1798248068.jpg

You hear WWE? No stupid scripts….no cheesy lines, let Reigns be himself! Do that and you’ll have no problems! It’s so simple because this Reigns….will save your ratings! So simple yet you’ll screw it up! You’ll keep Reigns as a face and make him do promos that people will boo and complain about…you have a chance to do something good and you won’t do it…because it’s PG, you can’t have a big mean bully as your top guy…think of the children etc etc Your call WWE but it’s an insane one!

187_TLC_12132015rf_4628-3637939787

Next up, we have a new Intercontinental Champion in Dean Ambrose, YES! this is what I wanted from this PPV and it was great! Ambrose so deserves this belt and it’s another step up the ladder for him which I think is the better way to go, rather than just be put at the top like Reigns has…Ambrose has held both mid card championships and had high profile matches in the last couple of years against Rollins and Bray Wyatt, he’s crazy and the fans like him…why isn’t he getting the special treatment? I’ll never understand because I’d rather by supporting Ambrose than Reigns but anyway, a good match against Kevin Owens of course, I said it would be! But it was only nine minutes! That’s my only criticism because…well the booking was poor for the rivalry… I remember back in January how Ambrose wanted to win the championship! we went through that hot potato thing with the belt up to Wrestlemania and after that…he was out of the championship picture up till November and now we come full circle with Ambrose winning the IC Championship and it puts to an end a poor reign by Kevin Owens which is a shame really because Fight Owens Fight! Where has he gone this year? Another star affected by coming up from NXT

Tables match….full of bad botches and thank goodness…the Wyatts won, yet I still have a complaint! Erik Rowan! Why always him…why does WWE go out of it’s way to make him look like the weak link…he’s always the fall guy for the Wyatt’s….At Survivor Series…The Brothers of Destruction easily disposed of him and at TLC, he was the only one eliminated on his team…has he got heat backstage or something? And WWE…why couldn’t Bubba Ray light that damn table? Can’t we see a flaming table in WWE anymore? A match that should have been much better and shown a true image of the Wyatt’s for 2016 yet Erik Rowan couldn’t be a apart of that?!

Hated the Divas Championship Match…it was bad, don’t care what you say, Charlotte is so horrible to watch now because she is a former shell of what she was in NXT….it’s just Ric Flair this and Ric Flair that…why is WWE trying to make Charlotte exactly like her Father? Paige was poor as well and I never felt I would ever say that but last night’s match….neigh the entire Divas Revolution has been a joke…This is the worst the Divas have ever been and that’s not a joke! It’s the truth, it’s cringeworthy! Nothing beats an ‘Independent’ Diva trying to act like a man in the ring, right? Because that’s all that Charlotte does…Paige sounds like a stroppy teenager and the Bellas are those bullies you see hanging in the hallways at school, mocking everyone who doesn’t have friends…The Divas Revolution is nothing more than a High School Drama! Is Goldust writing for them again?

New Day retains but damn…that move by Kalisto was sick!

061_TLC_12132015rf_0813-1193881039.jpg

This didn’t finish the match though…Of all things…it was a trombone! Kalisto has properly arrived and I hope he does many other great moments throughout his career! It was right that the New Day retained because they have kept anything positive on Raw recently so retaining was a good call by WWE….not often they do that so I’ll take this but I think the Lucha Dragons will be taken more seriously now…As for the Usos…is it me or were they better before that injury! Their involvement in the Family group has hampered them slightly because not only do they play off it, they barely appear behind Reigns to help him at all…kind of makes the whole storyline pointless, Reigns don’t need the Usos!

Oh…and there was a chairs match as well…thrown together rather awkwardly really…Swagger is a former World Champion and has won an Elimination Chamber Match yet no one ever really thought that he has a chance in hell to beat ADR and they were right…He lost and ADR is still the U.S Champion! Needs to keep it warm for this dude

wwe_john_cena_united_states_champions_2015_by_dinesh_musiclover-d8p0cna.png

To return soon…Finally, Rusev vs Ryback…nothing special…Rusev wins…. who cares…move on to a better feud! ok, Review over, it gets a C for effort but that’s it…Reigns was good, The Ladder Match was good…WWE hates Erik Rowan and The Divas…I give up!

Grade: C

Main Event: Roman Reigns vs Sheamus- TLC Match for the WWE WHC

20151123_TLC_Match_SheamusReigns_1920x1080b

Is this really a main event match? I thought it was a practical joke?! No?? Ok then…either way, WWE loses in my book because if Sheamus wins, we continue this horrible lackluster storyline of the League of Nations vs the Family….great stable name WWE…not to mention that it would be a foregone conclusion about the Royal Rumble, unless WWE pulls a swerve and gives Reigns the win at Royal Rumble. If Roman Reigns gets the win at TLC…you might ask yourself the question….why give the belt to Sheamus in the first place if he was going to drop it a few weeks later to the same guy he beat for it? Makes no sense but then again….Christian…enough said!

Might be an ok match but I will say that Sheamus will retain his belt via interference from the League of Nations who Roman will beat up and Sheamus will grab the belt via the distraction which will bring to end TLC which to be honest sounds more like an episode of Raw than anything else!

Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose- Intercontinental Championship

20151130_TLC_Match_OwensAmbrose_Light_R.jpg

For me, it should be the match of the night because you have two superstars that the WWE Universe likes a lot going at it for the Intercontinental Championship, what’s not to love? That it’s at TLC, a throwaway PPV? This should be a Wrestlemania or Summerslam worthy match if you ask me, they are both great wrestlers who should be up at the top and I know many think WWE has  no faith in Dean Ambrose…for some reason, I mean the guy, if used correctly could be the next Stone Cold, I’d certainly take him over Roman Reigns and Sheamus anyday!

As much as I”d love to see Dean Ambrose hold the Intercontinental Championship and build himself up as so many other greats did, I doubt WWE will pull the trigger tonight…I mean I have seen people say that Dean Ambrose shouldn’t be Intercontinental Champion and I’m like, why? People moan that Roman Reigns isn’t built up by winning mid card titles along the way yet when Dean Ambrose has a chance to do that, he shouldn’t be? I’d rather he worked up the ladder with a run with this belt and then got into the WWE Championship picture, it would mean more if you ask me but for me, Kevin Owens walks out after a long battle, whether it’s a clean finish or a disqualification, who knows…could be either but it should be a good match, the match of the night I hope! I just hope the finish doesn’t ruin it!

Alberto Del Rio vs Jack Swagger- Chairs Match- United States Championship

20151204_TLC_Match_DelRioSwagger_Thumbnail2

Jack Swagger? Is that you? You still work for the WWE? And yet somehow you’ve earned a U.S Championship match? Ok…I guess but really WWE? You expect me to think for one second that Swagger has a chance of winning the belt? You’ve buried him so many times when you had the chance to do something great with him…Zack Ryder laughs at him! And as for ADR, I can’t think of a wrestler I couldn’t give a s*** less about than him, his personality bores the hell out of me and puts me to sleep, he can wrestle, of course! He’s just so boring and you push him so much for whatever reason, all of his championship reigns are forgettable, I remember Kane’s 1 day reign with the WWE Championship than any of ADR’S!

Sadly, once again we will see ADR retain..probably with a move using a chair in that all popular Chairs Match WWE does…for some reason? Bet that was a Kevin Dunn idea! Anyway sorry Swagger but I hope you enjoyed the brief moment on TV again because after tonight, I doubt we’ll see much more of you for a while…I mean what else will WWE use you for apart from the occasional Patriotic moments and WWE Main Event shows?

Charlotte w/v Ric Flair vs Paige Divas Championship

20151207_TLC_CharlotteRicPaige_1920x1080

Oh wow, that Divas Revolution…anyone still care about that? For me, it’s dull and going nowhere because all it’s ever been about is who started it! That’s all it’s ever been about! Who cares? Paige is so confusing, Heel, Face, Heel, Face….is she the next Big Show for turns? As for Charlotte…You know what I take back what I said before about ADR, Charlotte is way more boring! I mean it’s I’m Ric Flair’s daughter WOOOOOOOOOO! every week and now we even see Ric Flair with her daughter every week, is that so people will cheer for Charlotte? Mrs no personality so she reminds us all shes Ric’s daughter instead because lord knows why she can’t make it out on her own? You don’t see Roman Reigns telling us that Rosey is his brother or Bray Wyatt acknowledge Bo Dallas, do you? All Charlotte has done is tell us again and again and again she’s Ric Flairs daughter

Once again, Charlotte will win, probably by being the dirtiest player in the game…oh wow, how creative WWE! If she didn’t talk about her family every five seconds, I might not complain so much about her because as far as I can see, she has no personality of her own and WWE don’t want fans to go off her so they stuck Ric Flair by her so people wouldn’t boo. Paige won’t win and we’ll have to listen to her moan and whine again because she’s….I don’t is she a Heel or a Face this week? Anyway Charlotte win!

Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno vs Wyatt Family- Tables Match

20151207_TLC_8-man_new-thumb.jpg

The Wyatts must win, if they lose this match…who could take them seriously anymore? I mean, if you can’t beat a team like the Dudley Boys, Rhyno and Tommy Dreamer when..let’s face it are at the ends of there careers! Then why should anyone ever think that The Wyatts will ever go far in the WWE! 4 giants that lose PPV match after PPV match, most feuds, they end up on the losing side! John Cena, Brothers of Destruction, Roman Reigns…just some examples of feuds the Wyatts have lost…sadly

I will go for a Wyatt win, I have to believe that WWE won’t let them lose this match because the internet will just implode with people complaining about The Wyatts just being jobbers! This could be a good match but I just see WWE screwing it up somehow…I mean they had Tommy Dreamer eliminate the Wyatts on Raw…WTF? the Wyatts are on a thin line between being taken seriously and being slowly ignored…please WWE….DON’T SCREW THIS UP! I know that’s hard for you because your not very intelligent but we like the Wyatts, they could be huge if you let them! If Only!

New Day vs Lucha Dragons vs Usos- Ladder Match- Tag Team Tittles

20151130_TLC_Match_triplethreat_Light-hp

Please WWE, let the New Day retain, they deserve it after being the most entertaining thing on your shows for weeks now…everything else doesn’t match up to them! Just imagine the ratings if New Day hadn’t been on the shows in the last two months…it’s be even worse! The Usos…shouldn’t win straight away and I think the Lucha Dragons need a bit more time to get crowds behind them…it goes quiet a lot when they come out. It should be a good match with plenty of spots but I think New Day will steal a win…numbers game and all! I wouldn’t mind if any of the other teams win either…they probably shouldn’t though but I have a feeling that this faction feud, The Family vs League of Nations (w/v New Day) will have one belt change at TLC…wonder which one

Ryback vs Rusev

20151207_TLC_RybackRusev_1920x1080.jpg

Last minute add on but round three for Rusev and Ryback…prepare for a finish involving Lana no doubt…fans chant we want Lana but I wonder why…the spark is gone and it won’t be anything special anymore…Lana’s moment is gone and since WWE is still mad with her for you know what…she probably won’t get a chance to shine…unless it’s by Rusev’s side….sad but WWE is piety like that…anyway…I don’t care….Rusev win….whatever

Just let 2016 come about already!

Get well soon Seth

Ryback Injured??

RAW_1149_Photo_047-275824723It has been reported that Ryback, the Intercontinental Champion has injured his right knee and will now not defend his championship at WWE Battleground this Sunday night, meaning that we have had to put up with Miz for nothing this month…..because seriously…he’s been more annoying than usual, so will we just get Big Show vs Miz now??? sounds great, right?

WWE Reported the issue as:

“Earlier this week on Raw, Intercontinental Champion Ryback sustained a right knee injury that will prevent him from competing and defending his title this weekend at WWE Battleground”.

The question now is…Is the Intercontinental Championship cursed???? Daniel Bryan was injured, Luke Harper has vanished off TV…unless you watch Main Event, Wade Barrett lost match after match…basically who ever holds the belt seems to either get injured or not be used in the proper manner….The United States Championship is more important now!!! I never thought I would be saying that but…it is now, it gets more coverage and the better matches so…how many actually care that this match between Miz, Big show and Ryback is cancelled….I’m a little ticked but it’s not a massive loss…anything that the Miz is in but is then cancelled is a blessing in my eyes…either that or anything with the Bella Twins in is cancelled as well…win for true fans!

I feel for Ryback though and maybe even Big Show….not Miz though…he can go!

TheMattAttack! Raw is Short

A.J Lee has skipped her way out of the WWE and our hearts”- TheMattAttack

Welcome to another edition of TheMattAttack- Raw and we are at the University of Texas and- Wait! hang on…is Byron Saxton still on commentary? You have Renee Young or heck, even Jerry Lawler that could do a better job but tonight, we have Byron Saxton…I thought Vince was pissed at his terrible job last time…oh well, still beats Michael Cole.

Seth Rollins and the Authority are in the ring…I don’t think WWE knows any other way of starting off a show. Rollins is greeted with boos compared to the cheers he received the week prior when he was cheered like mad for cashing in and stopping Roman Reigns from possibly winning the Championship before his time and I don’t think all of his fans took it so well…

Roman Reigns Fans be damned!

Anyway they pretty much sum up the success of The Authority such as Big Show winning the Battle Royal and Seth Rollins becoming WWE Champion and Kane…Kane…Kane…Kane was there!- Seth Rollins Poor Guy ”PUT THE MASK BACK ON!” I feel sorry for him..say what you will about the guy but hes done so much for the company and people saying he should go away are idiots! have no idea what wrestling is all about and what Kane has given to the WWE, a wrestler who cares about the company more than his own ego! Anyway, Kane declares a triple threat main event between Ryback, Randy Orton and Roman Reigns to decide who will face Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules for the Championship. Seth looked pissed with this decision and Big Show had to hold him back. Not only this but Kane declares that all 3 of those wrestlers will have to do double duty tonight as they will also wrestle in singles competition and Randy Orton would face none other than Kane himself

Randy Orton vs Kane

Pretty decent match that ended after not so long when Kane hit Orton with a steel chair and nearly hit a chokeslam but Orton countered and almost hit an RKO but Kane escaped, ending the segment. From this opener, I see The Authority turning on Kane and this could lead to Kane having the mask back on…personally I think Kane needs One More Title Run, say what you will but he deserves it for everything he’s done….every superstar he’s put over during the years, he’s underrated and a hard worker, devoted to WWE and it’s a darn shame he doesn’t get the recognition from the fans that this man sure damn well does deserve.

After this we discover that Ryback will face Luke Harper and Roman Reigns will take on Big Show, even though Kane was in the ring when these were announced, spooky. Seth Rollins says that The Authority would be better off without Kane but Kane tells Rollins that he has  a match right now…I see a Kane beatdown next week..it’s coming because baby Rollins always gets his way…oh well

Seth Rollins vs Neville 

NXT!- WWE FANS

Great match between Two future stars but after a brief distraction, Seth Rollins nails the Curb Stomp for the win…really wanted to see Neville nail a Red Arrow in this one but oh well, I’m sure the next time these two fight, it’ll be more intense and longer.

Coming up next we have John Cena’s US Open Challenge…Don’t see the point of this really…he’s facing Rusev at Extreme Rules…so it’s obvious that he’s winning this match tonight, I mean you’ve seen the PPV Poster for Extreme Rules, right?

cena-extreme-rules-600x300

Kind of obvious isn’t it but regardless, Cena faces…

John Cena vs Stardust

Good back and forth match that was so close, Dust nails CrossRhodes for a close two and Cena hits a…Springboard Stunner and an Attitude Adjustment for the win. No sign of Rusev again tonight….not a strong build up for their match is it? still a few weeks though so anything can happen but don’t bet on Cena losing the belt anytime before Extreme Rules so 3 wins for Cena coming up.

I then went for breakfast and saw a Divas Tag Match on as I came back in…Paige/Naomi vs The Bellas…wasn’t worth pausing really..I mean A.J is gone so Paige is my only worth while Diva now..The Bellas are ok….bit stale though…same old every week from them…nothing new and Naomi…her finisher involves her butt…how does that hurt? Anyway Paige/Naomi win…with Naomi’s butt…wait so Paige gets beat up by both Bellas yet Naomi can dominate them…ok WWE, very believable, what did A.J retiring screw up your plans for the Divas??

By the way, GET BYRON OFF THE ANNOUNCE TEAM! he is so boring…better than Micheal Cole but anyone can do that, I’d rather have Renee Young or Jerry Lawler on than these two boring characters…no one cares that Micheal Cole will wear a neck brace when he comes back or that he’s pressing charges against Brock Lesnar! Horrible writing WWE, JBL or Booker T are back and they aren’t pressing charges so why would Micheal Cole?

Ryback vs Luke Harper

Luke Harper is a monster, absolutely a monster…give this man a push, he could be the next Kane (the masked one) from 1998 if written correctly. He dominates Ryback for most of the match but an out of the blue Shellshock ends the match and gives Ryback the win.

Next we see new Day backstage and they are just weird, aren’t they? the strangest faction in WWE that noone could care about…The Divas are better than this group and that’s saying something, considering the state the Divas are in!

The New Day vs Lucha Dragons

Kallisto and Sin Cara are amazing wrestlers, especially Kallisto, a breath of fresh air in the Tag Team Division but it should have been Lucha Dragons coming to Main Shows and New Day going back to NXT! yes, even Kofi! they need so much work because they are so boring and the gimmick is worse that Charlie Haas! and that’s worse than watching paint dry! Anyway The Lucha Dragons pick up the win.

Roman Reigns vs Big Show

So now, Reigns is sort of cheered, man the fans need to make up their mind on this guy…they keep going from boos to mild cheers to boos. I actually like the gimmick of Reigns laughing after a beatdown, it really winds up his opponents and could be really good for the future. As usual, Reigns beats Big Show with a spear after 4 Superman Punches, not bad but Reigns still has a ways to go.

Kane backstage and the reject Divas who barely get any attention beg Kane for a chance who senses this immediately but gives them a Battle Royal for the Number One Contendership for the Divas Championship, imagine going home knowing your fighting to win this

Divas-title

Looks so good, right? who wouldn’t want to win a butterfly. Anyway Kane is doing a good job to be fair and before hand…was that Brad Maddox? anyway Kane gets all the Girls, look it up and you’ll see he’s had quite good luck with the Ladies in WWE.

Sheamus now who calls all of us insects and he’s a warrior and that the small heroes the fans like to cheer for shouldn’t be here. Ziggler and Bryan are fan favorites that fans want to be pushed so Sheamus has a point. Anyway, out comes Mark Henry, someone that’s Sheamus’s own size.

Sheamus vs Mark Henry

So Sheamus is a bully now? he doesn’t want to fight anyone his own size, I don’t see why as Sheamus brogue kicks him for the win. Wasn’t much of a match and I never thought Mark Henry would win.

”Vikings love to fight!” – Booker T

Booker T…Sheamus is a Celt…not a Viking…totally different but whatever.

Small Bray Wyatt promo, tad confusing though, he’s addressing someone but no idea who it is. Probably someone he’ll lose to in the feud.

Miz vs Mizdow

This is so stupid! Just a stupid feud! Identity Theft is ok…according to WWE. This is going to be a disaster when Mizdow has nowhere to go…go back to Sandow, then this would be a lot better but as Mizdow, it can only go so far before fans get bored of it…sure they cheer now but not as much as they used to. And let’s list what has happened in the last few weeks for Mizdow

  • Quits his job with Miz
  • Does not win the Andre The Giant Battle Royal
  • Loses to the Miz

Yeah…good plan Mizdow! Very smart.

Don’t worry guys, if your life isn’t going anywhere, just dress up as a celebrity and everything will be fine…if you have the mind of a 5 year old. Say what you want but Miz is right in this video…the only championship Mizdow has ever held was because he was with Miz. Before that, he failed to cash in MITB and…not much else to say really so yeah…once the Mizdow gimmick dries up…where will his career go??

Main Event Time

Randy Orton vs Ryback vs Roman Reigns

Pretty decent match but the Authority come out and watch from the entrance way as all Three Men destroy each other and as The Authority attacks and causes confusion amongst the wrestlers, Orton sneaks an RKO on Ryback to pick up the win and the chance to fight Rollins at Extreme Rules for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship but he has no time to celebrate as Rollins Curb Stomps him into the canvas to end the show.

Overall- the show felt kind of rushed and the matches weren’t really so long which was a little bit disappointing really. Kane would make a good GM I reckon but I don’t see him in that spot for long so either Kane will be out for a bit or a face turn. Cena will face another opponent and beat them and a Divas Battle Royal as well as Orton and Rollins moment as they further their rivalry

As for the score of this weeks Ra, I’ll give it a 7/10 it was ok but short matches, storylines that didn’t really move along except for Orton/Rollins. Divas are back to their boring matches that don’t really mean anything again. Miz/Mizdow has a small future really that won’t benefit Mizdow for long…unless he does another angle or something and Byron or Micheal Cole on commentary next week….joy.

TheMattAttack! Raw is Confusing

This is normally the Raw where the audience is meant to be rowdy, outspoken and more vocal than any other time of the year, a tradition that has been about for a few years now, however I don’t think San Jose got the message, then again…the Wrestlemania crowd didn’t seem to either, it was one of the most quietest Wrestlemania’s I can remember…perhaps it’s to do with it being outside, who knows but what I do know is that Seth Rollins is our new WWE World Heavyweight Champion

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman kick off the show and boy, Lesnar looks pissed off and who can blame the man, he was never pinned and the man that took his championship ran up the ramp about as Speedy Gonzalez would for a piece of cheese! sorry to say but I’m not completely a massive fan of coward Rollins, I know he can wrestle and beat the best so why the need to act like a baby?! WWE Logic?! he can be a great heel and not have to come up with excuses all the time, not every heel needs to do that!

Suplex City Bitch!- Paul Heyman

Get that shirt made WWE! Paul Heyman calls Rollins a coward and tells the fans that tonight, they would see a WWE Championship fight as Lesnar was revoking his rematch clause! Stephanie McMahon then comes out and tells Lesnar that Rollins was on his way back from New York but the match would go ahead later on. Heyman promises that Brock Lesnar would regain his championship and that Rollins would receive a beating for his troubles. Also, he sort of praises Roman Reigns but tells him that he has a ways to go before he’s really main event material.

Intercontinental Championship

Daniel Bryan vs Dolph Ziggler

somehow Ziggler gets a Tittle shot before the former champion does, not a complaint, just an observation. Anyway a really good match as always between these two and BNB is on commentary, complaining how unfair the Ladder Match was and how he wasn’t pinned for his championship. Listen mate, you and Brock have a lot in common tonight, maybe you guys can have a whine session together. Bryan retains after a Running High Knee lays out Ziggler and this match included a mad Headbutting session so it was really fun, even though JBL mistook it for the US Championship match…somehow

Headbutt City Bitch!- TheMattAttack!

Sheamus is back and he has a…questionable new appearance…well hairstyle anyway…my fiance said he looked a bit more like Beaker the Muppet?!

RAW_1140_050-2416387

Here we have Beaker, the Muppet

article-0-192F265B000005DC-346_306x423
Sheamus, Former World Champion Former Royal Rumble Winner King of the Ring Winner 2 Time United States Champion

Wow, you look stupid, cried the fans as he destroyed Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler. Confusing look and a return that turned sour quickly but let’s give it time before we judge Sheamus completely, after all he is a heel again so that’s a positive. His first match back is on Smackdown in a Tag Team Match so let’s just see how it goes down.

Cesaro/Kidd and The Ascension vs New Day and Lucha Dragons

Kallisto makes his Debut!!! Finally and his moveset is beautiful,a breath of fresh air and Cesaro was a perfect opponent for him to start off with.

New Day suck!”- WWE Fans

The ring was full of NXT Stars that had come up through the system, minus Kofi Kingston. It felt great that wrestlers from the lower programme that fans enjoy more than the main event stuff have made it so far…I bet Big E feels like he’s been screwed by how he’s been used right now. All I’m saying right now is that Kallisto has a future in this company and I pray WWE uses him right and doesn’t screw this one up!

Anyway The Lucha Dragon team win via a pinfall by Kallisto. New Day is a failed experiment that had potential when they were acting like heels, fans were interested in it…then some idiot thought it’d be great to have them act positive and always cheerful…fans quickly lost interest and turned against them quickly, even Kofi who has had a good career in WWE, fans think he’s boring now because of this angle. Big E was better when he debuted as a tough body guard for Ziggler and A.J then he went his own way and…went weird. Xavier Woods….go back to NXT and try again because you have never been good since you started, the whole Brodus Clay music thing was a bad idea and you kind of disappeared a bit after that then came back with this…yeah.

Brock Lesnar vs Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship

Felt weird at first that a match likes this wouldn’t be the main event, kind of gave it away that something bad was going to happen and…it did. Rollins acting like a coward says his foot hurts and that he has jet lag…calls off the match which pisses Lesnar off to no end. The Beast grabs Rollins and beats him before attempting an F5 but is prevented by the Mall Cops who Lesnar Destroys before Rollins escapes. The guy looked cocky the entire way out to the ring and he was facing Lesnar…I thought Rollins was meant to be smart, why on earth would you try to anger a guy who could kill you in five seconds? Do you think your mall cops will stop Lesnar, Kane and Big Show? No, Lesnar would eat them all alive and you so your way of going about things got a lot of people hurt. Lesnar, furious flips over the announce table, squashing Booker T and JBL, somehow Micheal Cole escaped but Lesnar grabs him, to the delight of the fans and F5’s him. He then grabs a cameraman and then Stephanie comes out…not when Micheal Cole is being attacked (says a lot) Lesnar ignores her…like we all wish we could and F5’s the cameraman anyway. McMahon suspends Lesnar who says ‘Screw you’ by F5ing the poor guy again…See you at Summerslam Lesnar!

We next have Byron Saxton out as a sole commentator for Stardust vs Damien Mizdow who is still using Miz’s Music, even though he no longer works for him…it’s almost as if WWE is trying to say that stolen Identity is ok…personally, it’s getting old now…your just copying a wrestler that fans despise…a slightly bit better than the actual wrestler, it can only go so far, I mean how long do fans expect this angle be able to go on for? It’s going to end at some point and then what for Damien? Back to Sandow hopefully, it was a good character

In 5 weeks, you’ll forget all about him- Miz

Like I wish I could forget that you ever existed???

Next we have Curtis Axel who wants to move on towards Extreme Rules or whatever he called it but what I’m calling is this change in his character to be dropped by Summerslam, it’ll get stale and the fans will lose interest, they always do in the end. But all of a sudden, we see the debut of Neville, another star from NXT who wipes the floor with Curtis Axel and gets his first win, it’s a night of debuts tonight, good ones as well, finally. Last year, we had Adam Rose….at least we had Paige though.

The US Championship Open Challenge Match now and to everyone’s surprise. it’s not Rusev who accepts the challenge, it’s Dean Ambrose?! awesome, although I’m amazed he can walk after he was slammed through that Ladder but remember, he was up and about the night after his Hell in a Cell match last year so I guess we shouldn’t be so surprised.

A good match between the two…oh and btw Jerry Lawler is now also on commentary behind the table that no one has bothered to set right again. Cena won’t lose the belt after only one day….no way

  • AA but Ambrose kicks out
  • STF but Ambrose reaches bottom rope
  • Ambrose uses the STF on Cena?! but Cena gets out of it eventually, was still really cool
  • Dirty Deeds but Cena kicks out at 2
  • After a back and forth moment, Cena hits another AA and retains his championship

Nice match, really good but where the heck was Rusev??? Byron Saxton promised me RUSEV!!! Ambrose is very talented and Cena can put on a good match, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t mind seeing them fight again.

Divas Tag Team Match now. These 6 Divas are the best in the WWE right now, minus the ones in NXT. All of the other ones are jokes in my opinion, Keep Eva Marie, Cameron and Summer Rae away from the ring and get Sasha Banks and Charlotte in there already and you have a save Diva Division!

Wow I actually respect The Bellas for what they do…weirdly. They might be annoying but they can wrestle better than most of the Divas on the roster and they have been here for quite some time now…just wish the writers were more clear on them…especially with that story line they had last year. Paige and A.J Lee do what they do as usual, really well. Nikki accidentally hits Brie with her forearm and that allows the faces to pick up the win

Bella blasts Bella!- Jerry Lawler

Winner: A.J Lee, Naomi and Paige via whatever Naomi’s finisher is called

We quickly find out that in the main event, Seth Rollins will team up with Big Show and Kane (WHERES THE MASK?!) Ryback agrees to team with Randy Orton…I wonder who else will????I WONDER…WONDERING WHO IT WILL BE…I HAVE NO CLUE….DO YOU?

Goldust faces…Rusev??? oh so he was here when Cena fought Ambrose??? and no Lana again, have they had a fight??? oh dear, well Rusev squashes Goldust quickly…and Byron Saxton says that Rusev will soon go after John Cena…hmm you got it wrong once already Saxton, HOW DO I KNOW IF I CAN TRUST YOU? seriously though, he does have a rematch clause so I’ll go for Extreme Rules when they have their rematch.

Main Event Time now and Seth Rollins teams with Kane and Big Show….loved how they announced the team….must have made Kane feel so insignificant with Rollins as champion and Big Show with the Andre Trophy…SHOULD HAVE WORN YOUR MASK!! Orton and Ryback come out and it looks like a handicap match but…WAIT….IS THAT A BIRD, IS IT A PLANE…NO…IT’S SUPER REIGNS……I DIDN’T SEE THAT ONE COMING AT ALL…..DAMN WWE, YOU SURE ARE GOOD AT THE SHOCKERS AREN’T YOU?

What, I’m looking at my Trophy!- Big Show

A decent match with Ryback hitting a sick Shellshock on Big Show, made it look so easy. Reigns does what he normally does, Superman Punch and a Spear to pin Kane for the win… not much else to say about this match, not a lot of time was made for it, nothing that no one hasn’t seen recently really, Reigns looks unstoppable and Rollins looks scared all the time when he doesn’t have the edge and too cocky when he does…Rollins runs away and looks back frightened…I wonder what the Main Event of Extreme Rules will be??????

Overall Rating: 8/10

This is mostly down to two things…Ambrose vs John Cena and Brock Lesnar destroying everything and everyone is what made me give an 8 on this episode…the rest of the show was quite confusing… it left me asking questions like…why Sheamus’s sudden haircut?

  • Why didn’t Rusev fight Cena?
  • Why couldn’t Renee Young come on Commentary instead of the Smackdown Announcers?
  • Why was it so easy for Reigns to beat up Kane and Big Show only a day after getting beat up by Brock Lesnar?
  • Why isn’t there a Suplex City shirt yet?
  • Why did Booker T and JBL look like they were having naps?

RAW_1140_107-3807761618

  • Why do we need to have Stephanie scream so much, it’s not scary at all, it’s just bad acting really!
  • Why did Dolph Ziggler get a championship match before the former champion?
  • Why hasn’t Ryback at least held a mid card championship yet?
  • Why do New Day exist?
  • Why is Cena portrayed as America’s defender when all the American fans boo him?
  • Still no conclusion to Stardust vs Goldust or The Bellas Rivalry….its as if the Creative Writers don’t know about the Internet
  • Why is Curtis Axel still doing Axelmania now that Wrestlemania is done?
  • Why doesn’t Mizdow have his own theme song?

Anyway it was a good show…just a very confusing one.

The Matt Attack! Wrestlemania 31 Review

It’s Wrestlemania 31! that event that we’ve all been looking forward too so much, live from the Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California

Entering_Levi's_Stadium

  • Lana is back and it looks like she’ll appear with Rusev later on.
  • Kane prevents an interview with Triple H (NO MASK!)
  • J and J backstage bump into Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson who still work for Mr McMahon

Kick Off

20150326_LIGHT_WM31_Match_AndreKickOff_HP

Match One

WM31_Photo_040-102044834

A nice little opener that was a lot of fun with some great moves performed by all. A pin by a Matadores could have fooled you to thinking they had just won the Tag Team Champions, thankfully it wasn’t a legal pin…phew! after a great finish, Ceasro and Kidd are able to retain their championships, not bad because the best team won!

Winner: Tyson Kidd/ Cesaro

Rating- 6/10 

Match 2

Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal

WM31_Photo_079-1424293829

A nice moment for Big Show really, it makes sense that he should win the trophy so I can’t be mad about it. It was a decent Battle Royal and we all got to see the Mizdow turn that we all prayed for….someone needed to shut the Miz up! and he made it to the last two after other favorites Kane, Ryback, Cesaro and for the fans Hideo Itami but Mizdow was unable to lift the Giant over the top rope, despite all of the biting and Show was rightfully given the trophy, likely as a way to say thank you for years of service and loyalty. Where Big Show goes from here, who knows?

Winner: Big Show

Match Rating: 6/10

Match 3

We are now into Wrestlemania Live! a decent kickoff show although not too sure how a memorial to Andre The Giant was in the pre show but oh well, WWE Logic! it always feels weird to see a WWE ring in a stadium but it’s one of the things that makes Wrestlemania so special. We kick off the PPV with the Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match.

20150309_LIGHT_WM31_Match_BadNewsLadder_HP2

I was hoping that we would kick off the show with this match, it takes me back to Wrestlemania a few years back when we would always start with the Money In The Bank Ladder Match and oh boy, this match had many spots that would keep your attention glued to the ring or TV screen. They include Ambrose smashed through a ladder by Harper, each superstar diving off something onto everyone else, Bull hammers everywhere! and Ziggler and Bryan headbutting the heck out of the other! it was a lot of fun to watch! Even R Truth was great to watch!

IC-33015

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Match Rating- 10/10!

An amazing opener that should be one of the contenders for Match of the Year as we start off this years Wrestlemania with the way we ended the last one, Daniel Bryan winning gold! yes Yes Yes Yes! I loved this match from start to finish and with a new IC Champion, we should probably expect a returning Sheamus, BNB or Dolph Ziggler to challenge Bryan over the course of this Summer so it should be interesting to see how much attention this championship will get now.

Match 4

Randy Orton vs Seth Rollins

Watch this match, WATCH IT! you won’t regret it, if anything, just for the ending. These two stars have such great chemistry when they wrestle! shame that the mall cops were out there, i’d have preferred it if it was just Rollins and Orton. In this match, we see a sick double DDT to the mall cops onto the floor from the ring! this is followed up by an amazing suicide dive by Seth Rollins to Orton. A reversal of rollins Curb Stomp into a power slam looked beautiful which was matched later by Rollins and a moonsault onto Orton on the outside but you see Rollins slam his back into the announce table (ouch!)

Orton hits an RKO but only gets a 2. The Mall Cops then both get RKO’S, allowing Rollins to hit a Curb Stomp but he only gets a 2 as well. Watch the video below and you will see the end of this amazing match, a reversal that defines beauty and the majesty of wrestling.

Winner: Randy Orton

Rating: 10/10! Wow, just wow WWE, two awesome matches in a row, this one was just fantastic! Orton looked amazing and Seth Rollins showed that he will truly be the future of WWE, he never disappoints in a match and can hit moves that make a fan’s jaw drop every match. I’d say that this was a Wrestlemania classic for sure. This is Orton’s first singles match at Wrestlemania since he lost to Kane (WITH THE MASK ON!) at Wrestlemania 28 and his first win at Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania 27. Well done WWE, this is the most you’ve made me smile in a long time.

Match 5

Triple H vs Sting

If you watched this match, the entrances were awesome right? Triple H’s especially! loved the Terminator bits and Arnie! looked as if they had blown up San Francisco. The match started off well, Sting showing that he still had it and HHH looked surprised by this They go back and forth and Triple H hits a running knee that does nothing but knock off some of Sting’s face paint! a cool moment where Sting misses a Stinger splash into the barricade! HHH takes over and dishes out some serious punishment but all of a sudden, the Game is trapped in Sting’s Scorpion Death Lock! but all of a sudden!

BREAK IT DOWN!

DX!! all of a sudden we’ve gone back in time to 1997 and DX attack Sting but he fights them off and a Pedigree attempt as well before he finally gets hit by the Pedigree but HHH only gets a 2 count! and then

THE NWO! WHAT!!! Hogan, Nash and Hall! it’s the Monday Night Wars again! this is the stuff I grew up with, nostalgia right here! Triple H is then able to kick out of the Scorpion Death Drop! Sting quickly gets the Death Lock back in and HHH reaches for his sledgehammer but Hogan removes it! X Pac (bless) takes him out, then Nash takes out X Pac before Billy Gunn takes him out. Meanwhile in the ring

SWEET CHIN MUSIC, IT’S HBK! BUT STING KICKS OUT AT 2!

HHH gets his sledgehammer but Scott Hall gives Sting his trusty bat and with this magical bat, he breaks the wooden handle of the sledgehammer but after a quick moment of back and forth action, HHH uses the head of the hammer and whacks the vigilante in the skull and picks up the win!

Winner: Triple H

Rating: 10/10 

I don’t care what people say about Sting losing and what not, it was a great match and a reminder for everyone who grew up watching the Monday Wars between WWE and WCW. NWO and DX fighting, good chemistry between HHH and Sting and finally that handshake which was HHH’s idea which made it even better was like a proper end to the war, HHH had his respect for Sting and vice versa

WM31_Photo_193-728781154

We then see Daniel Bryan backstage who gets congratulated by Pat Patterson, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, Ric Flair and Bret ‘Hitman’ Hart which made the belt feel important again, we shall see if it stays that way over the next few months.

Match 6

Divas Tag Team Match

A.J Lee/ Paige vs The Bella Twins

It was a good start by the Bellas who kept A.J out of the match for the majority of it as they worked on Paige who was able to just kick out of Nikki Bella’s finisher during this. Paige is able to tag in A.J who takes it to the Bellas and there was a good moment where Paige slams Brie into the steel steps! A.J Lee forces The Divas Champion to tap out to the Black Widow.

Winner: A.J Lee/Paige 

Rating: 7/10

Half decent and better than any Divas Match in the last year, defied what I was expecting and I really enjoyed this match so well done ladies, you showed that Divas do deserve a chance.

Match 7

John Cena vs Rusev

  • Rusev arrives in a Tank- ENOUGH SAID!
  • Lana is back
  • Cena’s entrance was good as well
  • John Cena is still booed, even when he’s defending America against Russia?! guess he’ll never have everyone cheering for him

Rusev can pull off some really good moves for someone his size, he really does have a future in WWE, Cena…does what her normally does and the commentators just adore it from start to finish. good back and forth before Rusev locks in the Accolade but Cena is able to power out eventually and even locks in the STF but again, Rusev escapes. A moment of awkwardness occurs when Rusev runs into Lana who was on the apron, allowing Cena to give Rusev an Attitude Adjustment and the win to not only end Rusev’s undefeated streak but to give John Cena the U.S Championship.

POINTLESS SEGMENT WITH THE AUTHORITY/ ROCK AND UFC LADY RONDA ROUSEY…lasted 16 minutes! long story short

  • Steph speaks a big game but cries like a baby when Ronda grabs her arm
  • Ronda Rousey slams HHH after The Rock has his way with him, making Sting’s loss even more humiliating if you really think about it

Match 8a

Bray Wyatt vs Undertaker

Zombie Scarecrows everywhere but wow…Bray took forever to get to the ring! be honest with me! didn’t Undertaker look even better then he did last year, his appearance made me think it was 2004! as for the match itself, it was really good…I loved the spider walk followed by Taker sitting up…Wyatt was intimidated by Taker…he had no idea what he had gotten himself into but he put up one hell of a fight! it felt weird, not having to think about the Streak anymore! Wyatt and Taker kick out of the other’s finisher but finally, Undertaker hits a 2nd Tombstone Piledriver and makes it 22-1! Wonder how Heyman will change his opening speech for Lesnar?!

Winner: Undertaker

Match Rating: 9/10 

It’s the Undertaker and Bray Wyatt, do I need to say much more other than it was awesome! 2015 should be a great year for Wyatt, as for Undertaker…I hope that this was not his last match, I want to see him at Wrestlemania 32 against Sting…MAKE IT HAPPEN WWE!

MAIN EVENT

Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar 

What can I say about this match??? Roman Reigns, you earned my respect last night, you took a beating and all you did was smile and come back for more which was awesome! Lesnar hits an F5 almost straight away and the Beast dominates Reigns for the majority of the match, stopping any Reigns come back at every turn. Reigns manages to make Lesnar bleed quite badly

SUPLEX CITY B****!- Lesnar

Lesnar in total hits about Ten suplexes during the match, a sick clothesline to Reigns which needs looking at again and again! 2nd F5 but Reigns kicks out at 2. Reigns continues to laugh at Lesnar and Lesnar gets more vicious, he hits a 3rd F5 but again, Reigns kicks out at 2 1/2. At long last, Reigns fights back and slams Lesnar into the ring post, busting him open even more, followed by 3 Superman Punches and 2 Spears but Lesnar kicks out at 2!

Brock Lesnar hits a 4th F5 but is unable to cover Reigns…then….SETH ROLLINS RUNS OUT! HE CASHES IN HIS MITB Contract, making it a Triple Threat Match!! Rollins attacks Lesnar but the Beast fights back and almost hits an F5 but Reigns Spears him, allowing Rollins to nail a curb stomp on Reigns as he tries to get up  and he covers his former Shield brethren to win The WWE World Heavyweight Championship!

10923229_894535620608522_7019218503918124096_n

Winner: Seth Rollins!

Match Rating: 10/10

Well, how was that for an ending? I was really unsure whether Rollins would cash in tonight but he did and he did it at the best time and he pinned Reigns, not Lesnar which still makes Lesnar look like a beast and it seems as if Reigns will chase Rollins for the championship now. We should see Lesnar again in a few months, wanting revenge hopefully. Reigns did well tonight, I was impressed and I will not be so cruel about him in future because he showed that he can perform! His time will come!

PPV Rating: 8/10

A great Wrestlemania, the best in the last few years I think. Every match was really good, many we will remember for years to come. The Undertaker was back, NWO VS DX, Amazing Ladder Match, Rusev’s Undefeated Streak came to an end and Seth Rollins finally cashed in his MITB Contract. Was worth staying up all night for, even though I had work in the morning.

Wrestlemania has come and gone…now we go on towards Extreme Rules and the aftermath of this great PPV! I hope you all enjoyed this PPV as much as I did.

The Matt Attack! Wrestlemania 31 Predictions

ALL IMAGES ARE OWNED AND COPYRIGHTED BY WWE

Hello everyone and welcome to The MattAttack! Wrestlemania Predictions

Before I start, I have noticed that one or two people may think that I’m a little…mean when it comes to my reviews of Monday Night Raw, constantly bad mouthing creative decisions and never really being so positive about much so from the bottom of my pen….if you can’t handle an opinion then go elsewhere, I ain’t holding back if I don’t like something, If you think I’m mean about WWE Raw then that’s up to you, If you agree with what I say, then again that’s up to you but I ain’t changing for anyone. It’s called the MattAttack! Not the butt kissing review where everything is amazing and just wonderful…wpuld you really believe me?

20150326_LIGHT_WM31_Match_AndreKickOff_HP

Let’s start off with the Andre The Giant Battle Royal Match and boy, this is a tough one to call, ain’t it? You have big men like Big Show, Kane (PUT THE MASK ON), Erik Rowan and Ryback in there, the veteran Goldust as well as the return of Sheamus, whether he is in this match is unclear as of right now but it would be a good moment to make his return. a quick match with Mizdow turning on Miz, Big Show and Kane turning on each other etc

Winner: Ryback 

What can I say, it’s time for the Big Guy to make a name for himself on the grand stage and catapult his career upwards, this is the match to do that so I will say that Ryback will be the victor in this one.

20150309_LIGHT_WM31_Match_BadNewsLadder_HP2

I am sticking by Daniel Bryan in this one to win the IC Championship but a small part of me thinks Sheamus may return in this match and rob Bryan, hence the heel turn which if DONE RIGHT, I’ll be alright with but Sheamus has to be a bad ass! I mean, destroy people and be an unstoppable force for Daniel Bryan to overcome. I don’t think R Truth stands a chance, Luke Harper will have some nice spots…As will Ziggler as he is the showoff! Dean Ambrose will come close but I think a spot will happen that rules him out for the remainder of the match, a fall from a ladder or he’s driven through one but for some reason , I see Ambrose taking this spot…but being the star he is, fighting his way back, only for it to be too late. Sorry BNB but I highly doubt your retaining your belt this year…Stardust..well he’s there….still not facing Goldust at Wrestlemania…

Winner: Daniel Bryan

20150224_LIGHT_WM31_Match_HPv2_cenarusev

Here we go, Rusev vs John Cena 2, the epic fight for the U.S Championship that at first, I didn’t have any hopes that it will be a good match worthy of the grandest stage but after the last few shows, I have decided that I was wrong about it. It looks like it will be really good and an enjoyable one! but who should win, I would say Rusev as he is the young dog who has years ahead of him in his career whereas Cena could be coming towards the beginning of the end of his full time career, part time perhaps? Rusev should win but I see Cena picking up the victory and the U.S Championship in a dramatic fashion. I’ll guess 2 Attitude Adjustments and a victory via Rusev Passing out in the STF

Winner: John Cena

20150224_LIGHT_WM31_Match_HP_OrtonRollins

Do you remember New Revolution 2006 when Edge faced Ric Flair? what happened, Edge got disqualified and later on after Cena had won a hard fought Elimination Chamber Match, Edge cashed in his MITB and won the WWE Championship. Perhaps this will once again be played out at Wrestlemania, so I think Randy Orton will pick up the win by DQ but Orton will be about to close in on the win before likely J and J Security assault him, letting Rollins escape…but it shan’t be the only time he gets a chance at Rollins

Winner: Randy Orton via DQ

20150224_LIGHT_WM31_Match_HPv2_divastag

On paper, it doesn’t look like a strong match but they have to include the Divas in some way so here we are, the..Bella Twins vs the 2 best Divas in WWE, on paper it should be obvious who wins, right? WRONG?! this is WWE and with the Divas…not a lot ever makes sense anymore, I mean what happened to the Bella feud, it just…went dead without a single reason and now Nikki who was always jealous of Brie is jealous and Brie always helps her retain the championship. Recently WWE teased tension between A.J and Paige but I strongly think Paige and A.J will pick up the win at Wrestlemania…what that means for the Divas Championship afterwards, I don’t know but if this match can be somewhat good…then maybe theres a slim hope that the Divas Division can be salvaged…even with the Bellas…that was hard for me to write down seriously guys!

Winners: A.J Lee and Paige

20150224_LIGHT_WM31_Match_HPv2_takerbray

After last years defeat to Brock Lesnar, I can imagine the Deadman wanting to put a hurting on someone and that someone is called Bray Wyatt who doesn’t appear to truly understand what he has gotten himself into. I expect a hard fought, even contest that will be very close, expect plenty of kick outs from finishers, Bray will kick out of a tombstone and Undertaker will kick out of a couple of Sister Abigails! I’m not sure if I want to believe that Taker will lose 2 in a row after spending so many years believing that the Streak was impossible to beat or whether age has caught up with even undertaker and WWE has thought it’s simply easier to have Undertaker put over Bray Wyatt before one last match with Sting next year, who knows but regardless of the result, this will be my match of the night because it’s the only one where I don’t mind who wins! but it’s a prediction blog so I’ll narrowly go for The Undertaker to win via a Tombstone

Winner: The Undertaker

20150224_LIGHT_WM31_Match_HPv2

Sting for the win, easily….I can’t imagine WWE bringing back Sting…just for one match where he loses, is that really what fans have waited so many years for….to see Sting lose then disappear? I hope he wins, I never watched WCW so have never seen Sting wrestle before and to be honest, I don’t see where a Triple H win would go….what would he do next…brag about it? Whereas a Sting win makes sense and can lead to a match with The Undertaker I think so I hope that via a Scorpion Death Drop, Sting wins

Winner: Sting

20150224_LIGHT_WM31_Match_LesnarReigns_HP

Oh boy…this match….umm Brock Lesnar winning would be good because it would keep the majority of fans happy and bad because Lesnar will likely only appear a few times over the next year…A Roman Reigns win would be good because the WWE Championship would appear weekly again and bad because…let’s face a lot of fans don’t want to see it, DO YOU? it could be a really good match, maybe we will all be surprised and if Reigns damn well works for it! let’s face it, he’ll kick out of an F5 or 2 as Lesnar will power out of many Spears! then maybe, just maybe I’ll be somewhat less disspointed about it but none the less, I….you know what…Roman Reigns will win but it won’t be by himself…Paul Heyman to betray Brock Lesnar and side with Roman Reigns

Winner: Roman Reigns

Should We Watch Wrestlemania?

My big question to ask all WWE Fans is…should we really bother watching Wrestlemania this year?? Is it worth our time to just watch Roman Reigns become WWE Champion? I mean, no one wants to see it happen, do they? Mr Smug spear his way to glory before dominating the roster for the near future…sounds like hell to me…still haven’t a clue what WWE is on but it’s clearly bad for your judgement to take it…I may sound like a hardcore fan having a rant but I think I can find a massive amount of people who would agree that putting the belt on Reigns now is a BIG mistake! he needs time to work up and then , maybe next year, he can win the championship and the fans will accept it.

bb9357a71bfea40c5a41f5ff829d8134

Look at Roman Reigns, he has power, looks and a mean spear to match but his Mic skills are awful, Miz Awful in fact and his limited moves don’t help him either…ok so he’s done a couple of new ones recently but he needs more! Another annoyance is that there are so many superstars who deserve the shot more. Need I say Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Rusev, Bray Wyatt, Cesaro but no…give it to the Looney Toon fan Roman Reigns….because he looks the part but then again, this is the company that things female wrestlers only need to look the part…like heck if it matters if they can ACTUALLY WRESTLE OR NOT!

Divas_S3b_TVE_2560x1450_1280x725_383230019658
THIS SHOW REALLY SAVED THE ‘DIVAS’ DIVISION

Divas-title

I mean, have you seen that thing that they call a championship belt, It’s a pink butterfly that glimmers and shines!

So it doesn’t matter that so many other stars can wrestle a great match, as long as you look like a top guy then your set…John Cena but at least The Rock and Stone Cold could put on a match! can we all seriously imagine WWE a year from now with Reigns as the top guy…just imagine it…Roman Reigns beating Seth Rollins, overcoming Bray Wyatt…defeating the small man Daniel Bryan and not even wrestling Dolph Ziggler and Kane still won’t be wearing his mask….I seriously question the mental health of WWE writers sometimes, you can booo and yell in there face and they still won’t see why fans hate what they write, they’ll remain oblivious to it and won’t care…The Bellas are failures….The Miz being a wrestler is a failure…Roman Reigns looks set to be the next failure and it’s a shame…I just wish someone half intelligent would write for WWE…someone who actually knows who the fans want to see fight, be champion and headline PPV’S

Here’s my Wrestlemania PPV Card

Main Event for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Brock Lesnar (Champion) (with Paul Heyman) vs Daniel Bryan

Classic David vs Goliath feel to it with Daniel Bryan wrestling a clinic against Lesnar, making Lesnar with a bloodied up face pass out to the Yes Lock to win the belt, creating a WM Moment (Face it, Bryan beating Lesnar is more impressive then Reigns doing it)

WWE VS WCW

The Undertaker vs Sting- No Holds Barred

(Retirement Match for both…enough said, nostalgia)

The Rock vs HHH

(Classic Attitude Era Match that stuns the audience, doesn’t matter who wins)

United States Championship Match

Roman Reigns vs Rusev

(My reason is that I think Roman Reigns beating Rusev makes more sense then John Cena doing it as Reigns is young and upcoming and a championship reign with either the US or IC title will benefit Reigns and let him grow, Cena doesn’t need the belt)

Seth Rollins vs Randy Orton

Intercontinental Championship

Bad News Barrett vs Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt vs Dolph Ziggler vs R Truth vs Luke Harper- Ladder Match

(A really good opener to the show, remember MITB Matches kicking off Wrestlemanias? I’d have Bray Wyatt pick up the win and have him feud with Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper and Dolph Ziggler ovr the course of the first part of the year before he lost it in a hard fought match to Ambrose and Ziggler in a Triple Threat at Summerslam

Goldust vs Stardust (Dusty Rhodes as the Guest ref)

Needs a conclusion with Stardust winning after a mid match transformation to Cody Rhodes

Andre the Giant Battle Royal

Kane (With Mask) vs Big Show vs Sheamus vs Curtis Axel vs Sin Cara vs Fandango vs Erik Rowan vs Ryback vs Zack Ryder vs Big E vs Kofi Kingston vs Diego vs Fernando vs Mark Henry vs The Ascension vs John Cena (Since he wants to be in it so much) vs Bo Dallas vs Titus O Neil vs Darren Young

I’d have Kane win this, just to spite Big Show for a 2nd year in a row, the guy has been really annoying…sounding like a whining child and has been especially annoying to Kane (saying the mask made Kane better) I agree but since it came from him, it still annoyed me and I’d love somehow for Big Show to dominate Kane until the lights go out and a red mist descends that distracts Show then the lights come on and the mask is back on, Kane destroys Big Show and eliminates him, a nostalgia Attitude Era moment for the fans and I’d book Kane properly, the monster that he was.

2 out of 3 Falls Match for the Tag Team Championships

The Usos vs Tyson Kid/Cesaro

Divas Championship Fatal 4 Way

Nikki Bella (c) vs A.J Lee vs Brie Bella vs Paige

(It made no sense that the Bellas suddenly made up like that so I’d still have Brie wanting revenge on her sister, only for Paige to pick up the win and they both quit in a rage…thus saving the Divas division)

What do you think, better then the current line up?
