Last Wrestling Match Watched 2.0

[Keith]

Not as good as Steamboat-Rude efforts in WCW but a strong television match anyway. Just a shame it was cut short, and the ending with everyone running in was a bit of a mess. If only they knew what a talent Rude would be they would not have wasted such a match. ***

 

[Keith]

The first couple of minutes were smoother than you might expect. After that it was the scrapy, basic TV match you would expect from these two. **

 

[Keith]

Forgettable filler brawl. Funk was the highlight and the piledriver on the Pumpkin was kinda cool. **

 

[Keith]

A solid headline attraction considering the talent involved. ***

Matt Sydal VS. Eli Drake GFW Championship match - Global Force Wrestling Impact, 7/09/17

The match had a solid start, and there were some good spots and near falls. But the second half fall apart and it became just a run of the mill generic world title match (the closing stages reminded me a bit of the past TNA main event matches). Drake lacks that main event sheen is another issue. **

Drake gonna be Del Rio in 2011...gonna have to grow into the World Champion role. Learn on the fly. He's not EC3 or Lashley but he's still growing

WWE Monday Night RAW 09/04/2017 – John Cena vs. Jason Jordan

I really like the opening of this Jordan goes right on the offense and out wrestles Cena on the mat with ease, I can also say he straight up embarrassed Cena on the mat. However, Cena being Cena probably loved it and he tried to go into some mat exchanges of his own but Jordan has a counter for everything so Cena decides fuck this and nail him with a sweet back elbow followed by a punch. Cena starts going into what works for him and that is more of the striking/high impact power moves as we go to a commercial break. When we return Jordan hits a pretty cool dropkick, just to give him some separation and a 2 count. They do the in the middle punch-off which looked pretty shit, as neither guy has the best looking working punch. Jordan’s counter out of the AA into a roll through pin attempt looks cool, which gets two, but Cena rolls through into the STF, Jordan counters that into a Cross face but Cena counters that into another AA attempt but JORDAN COUNTERS INTO 2 ROLLING NORTHEN LIGHTS SUPLEXS WITH A BRIDGE ON THE 2ND FOR TWO Jordan gets his second wind but so does Cena who counters a backdrop into a crossbody and follows with an AA for the win. After the match; Cena kinda half ass picks up Jordan shakes his hand, hugs him then pats him on the back before Jordan leaves. A really good match could be so much better with 5 more minutes on PPV and no commercial in the middle. ***

Roman comes out they do their little back and forth. The only highlight was. Cena calling him out for coming out with his zipper down and Roman response “I busted it actually……..BIG DOG”

WWE Monday Night RAW 09/11/2017 – Roman Reigns vs. Jason Jordan

Once again I like that Jordan isn’t intimidated by the superstar and the name that is Roman Reigns, he goes to go to the wrestling but Roman is much bigger and stronger so Jordan can’t get him off his feet so he looks lost, that’s when Roman takes over with some sweet looking punches. But Roman gets too cocky and leaves himself open for Jordan to connect with a belly-to-belly suplex which gives Jordan control for a short while. Until Roman has had enough and goes to end it early with a superman punch but Jordan catches it and attempts to lock in the crossface as we go to a commercial. When we return, Roman is back in control and targets the lower back just as Cena did last week. Which I don’t know if it’s intentional but in my story, I’m gonna say Roman is doing the “whatever you can do, I can do better” subliminal shot at Cena. Might be a reach but fuck-it. I’m reaching like a t-rex. Jordan hits a sweet t-bone suplex out of desperation then takes a page out of Cena’s book and delivers a sweet clothesline. Jordan’s comeback is pretty good, not as good as his hot tag but he takes some bits of it and adds it in here. JORDAN DOES THE BACK2BACK NORTHEN LIGHTS SPOT FOR ANOTHER TWO, WHICH STILL MAKES ME POP. IT’S SO GOOD. He locks in a much better crossface this week, but Roman gets to the ropes. Roman shows his ring awareness and holds onto to the ropes to prevent any further suplexs and suckers him into shoulder blocking the ringpost. On the floor, Roman hits the drive-by, back in he hits the superman punch and ends it with a spear. Another really good match for Jordan, this one more of a Roman style match. Really physical and hard hitting. After the match; Roman and Jordan shakes hands and Roman gives him the head nod of approval. ***

Cool main event. Think they did a good job of telling the story of Rhodes being injured and questioning whether he could make it to Fall Brawl. Dustin sold like a Pro too and his comeback to tag Flair was nicely paced. The heat between Rude and Flair was fantastic, and the story of Flair being kept out of the match until the end was nice too. Plus I quite like the big hard hitting heel team of Rude and Vicious. To cap it off we got another delightful Shockmaster stumble
***1/2

 

[Keith]

For whatever reasons these two just didn't click like you might hope. Still the story of the match was well told, and Doink got some pretty cool heel heat. Love Perfect asking for 5 MORE MINUTES! Hearing JR and The Brain together was a joy too. My highlight was when Bobby corrects Ross claiming that the submission hold actually puts pressure on 8 different points of the leg **1/2

 

[Keith]

One of my favourite heels against one of my favourite baby faces. They worked well as Strike Force and were impressive foes too. Enjoyable match, just a shame it was cut short due to Jake's involvement. Not sure what I think of that. It was a little dumb but I can see the purpose behind it.

[Keith]

This was a good old fashioned comedy brawl. The Mustard spot at the end was gold!The fake Vince was actually quite entertaining. Both these teams were underrated I think. Good fun ***

 

[Keith]

A debut for some guy called John Cena? Whatever happened to that to him? The kid did pretty good. Kurt's heel skills are at their peak here. Its cool how put over his clean victory over Hulk. ***

 

[Keith]

Don't think these two really had great matches. This was when DB was getting the jobber treatment too. Sin Cara makes his WWE debut at the end of the match. **

 

[Keith]

The highlights were Goldie's promo and his entrance. Once the bell rang it was all over. DUD! *
