Sunday night WWE held its 10th annual Elimination Chamber event at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Sadly my brother wasn’t feeling well so he didn’t join me to watch the show, which I didn’t start until about 10:30 PM. This is the last show on the Road to WrestleMania so it stands to reason that it was a ‘set up’ show. Did it accomplish what it set out to do? Let’s find out… (All … Continue reading
Well, I’m over a month into the year and I’m just now getting around to doing my yearly recap for 2019. I’ve been doing these “Look Back” posts since back in 2010. A down year for my activity here with only 24 which is just terrible. Twice a month on average is just not what I want it to be. In 2108 I made 27 posts and I thought that was bad. Ugh. This is already … Continue reading
I’ve been doing these “Look Back” posts since back in 2010. A down year for my activity here with only 27 posts (!). Terrible. Just terrible. This is already my fourth of this year and I’m making an effort to get back into it because I really miss it. It’s always interesting (to me at least) to see what posts make the list and to see if there are posts that prevail through the years. The Top 10 … Continue reading
Sunday night the WWE held its 32nd annual Survivor Series event at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. For the third year in a row this show pitted Raw vs. Smackdown in a sort of brand supremacy battle which turned out to be no battle at all with Raw getting a win in every match (except for the kickoff match which we didn’t watch). I was glad to have my partner in crime (my brother) back with me … Continue reading
Since back in 2010 I’ve been doing these retrospective entries. Before we get too far into the year I wanted make sure I knocked this one out. As I said in my previous post I’ve been a terrible blogger recently and my yearly output of only 24 posts shows just how true that statement is. This is down from 79 posts in 2016 and 80 in 2016. I still plan on backdating a few movie reviews and … Continue reading
I’ve been doing these “Look Back” posts since back in 2010. I started off the year strong with 22 posts between January and February! I slowed down quite a bit but ended the year with a respectable 79 posts for the year, down just one from last year’s output of 80 posts. I still plan on knocking out three more which will be dated in 2016 (three WWE PPV recaps). I’m sort of an analytics geek … Continue reading
No Mercy took place on October 9th, 2016 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. This was a Smackdown branded PPV taking place just two weeks after Raw’s Clash of Champions. I watched this one nearly live (on a slight delay) with G. It’s been quite some time since Mark and I have gotten together to watch a show. This was up against the second presidential debate which turned out to be a doozy. Based … Continue reading
Sunday evening WWE was in Richmond, Virginia at the Richmond Coliseum for this year’s version of Backlash. This was the first PPV since WWE once again did a brand split and was the first show that was exclusive to the SmackDown brand. As I said back in June when the idea of twice monthly shows was being floated around I just couldn’t see myself watching ALL of these shows live. Sure enough at least when it came … Continue reading
Last night WWE was in Brooklyn , NY this year’s version of SummerSlam. This is one of the WWE’s “Big Four” PPVs and I had really high hopes for the event. I even went so far as to make some predictions which I felt really good about. I don’t think I’m going to bother doing that any more cause even though I booked what I thought was a solid show I couldn’t have been more … Continue reading
If you believe the WWE, its second biggest show (behind WrestleMania) takes place tomorrow evening live on the WWE Network from the Barclays Center in New York. Here’s a quick look at the announced matches and how I think they’ll play out. Cesaro vs. Sheamus Best-of-Seven Series Match #1 This one could really go either way. I’d be shocked if this doesn’t go the full seven so it really doesn’t matter who wins this first … Continue reading
