Raw Quickview(9/2502017)

 

Last night was Raw had quite a few segments that felt very heavy handed and left me completely bewildered. After Romans victory over Cena on Sunday; it was repeatedly drilled into our head that Roman is now the top guy no matter what a sizable portion of the paying audience feels about him. The constant force feeding of Roman is becoming nauseating, but spending anymore time complaining  about what so many have seems futile. Also it was hinted at several times as well that a Shield reunion is imminent, while that does peak my interest slightly; it's just another vehicle to get Roman more over with the fans who boo him buy playing of nostalgia feelings of The Shield. Well see if it works. One segment I would like to point out from last night that I believed hit all the right notes; the promo between Mickie James & Alexa  Bliss was surprisingly captivating. I've been really perplexed the lack of use of Mickie, especially since she's been in the business for over a decade and I would assume she has tons of knowledge plus experience to offer any of the younger performers man or women. I'll give Enzo credit for this; the Cruserweight division rarely got a line in my blogs previously, and now every week I'm talking about it.
In the main event slot last night; yes I said main event but it was far from ordinary. Honestly I can't even described what I saw; I think I saw a double turn last night, but having a popular baby face come out and talk down to the entire roster in an obnoxious, rude, unbecoming way seems to really  point to a turn of some sorts. If that's the case; it was still done in a ridiculous manner that made no one look any better. Enjoy

Track Of The Day(Brand New Tuesday)

I had to almost do a spit take when I saw a new record from The Legendary Wu Tang Clan; this is a clear no Brain er for Brand New Tuesday. While this act won't be appreciated by the new generation of fans, but Wu Tang Clan is my generation Beatles; and that's just a slight overstatement. "Lesson Learned" is a throwback to fullest; from the beat to the content; and definitely the classic Wu Tang feel. I'd your open-minded to all forms of hip hop give this track a shot. Enjoy!

Track Of The Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Mercy Shows No Mercy for the fans.

If last night you were hoping to see a Wrestlemania like event; then you were most likely left disappointed. While there arguably 2 Mania worthy matches on the card, but when the show was over you realized No its still September. After of weeks of building up the Mega match between Strowman-Lesnar; it was over quickly and anticlimactic. In the other big match with Cena-Roman, was the opposite end of the spectrum; a very good match, but lacked a true authe investment in who won or lost. The rest of the show was solid in the ring, but fell quite short of the energy that big time shows have. If you have the time check out this show; seek out the Tag Team championship bout which was easily the best match on the show. Enjoy

Smackdown Live Quickview(9/19)

After one of the more thrilling endings to a Smackdown in a very long time with Kevin Owens head butting Vince McMahon; it was followed up with a very below par episode this week. It wasn't all bad I just mostly,but I want to give credit were it's due. I thought Shane response was just good enough; would have like to seen a bit more emotions, but it's a minor criticism.  t Owens via satellite interview hit just all the right notes,l and he does an excellent job at wanting to see him get his come up. Finally bringing back Charlotte is long overdue, while I think she is miscast as a Babyface her presence on the show does give it a bigger feel. I was actually intrigued buy the backstage segment with the Hype Bros; it's always refreshing to see wrestlers who always loose week in and week out  actually give a damn and want to do something about it. This is obviously hinting at a heel turn coming, and I must say there have been an alarming amount of turns the last year or so; in this case It will actually makes sense. Now to the biggest anchor holding back SD which is Jinder Mahal who continues to really damage the overall feel of the show; it really is a ridiculous disservice to your fans when you have a roster filled up and down with high level talents such as Nakamura, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, just to name a few; but you serve your fans Jinder Mahal. It's been well established yes he has a great look, but that's it! He's proven to be an average wrestler at best,and he's a well below than average promo. Until the core issues are fixed with Smackdown Live I don't see much changing; it will continue to be a very un balanced show. Have to wait and see. Enjoy
