Unlike other wrestling results pages, after all let’s face it there are literally thousands of them. We aren’t going to focus so much on the results but give a rundown on what we feel the product is looking like for the week.
WWE
This week we got a rushed Diva’s match that didn’t give Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch time to work. We also had a Raw that was bogged down by promos. The Lucha Dragons squared off against the League of Nations, again, in a feud that won’t die. Ryback also continued his heel turn by claiming he needs more spotlight. It seems that they are trying to make this Wrestlemania worse than it already is by having Owens face off against Big Show and Styles being lost in a tag team, Hopefully those last two get corrected soon.
The League of Nations just needs to disband, they have been in a feud with the Lucha Dragons for so long they now resemble the Social Outcasts more than the Authority as a strong faction. What started off as a fantastic idea has fizzled so much that no one even cares about them anymore. And the US belt is getting lost being in tag matches all the time. How about giving Kalisto a feud maybe?
On Smackdown Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch had another go at their number one contender match which again led to a screwy ending and the announcement that we will get a triple threat match at Mania. That one announcement maid Mania instantly a better show. Kofi and AJ Styles put on an absolute clinic in the ring too, I am really looking forward to Y2AY ve New Day for the tag team title on Raw, but I’m still a little disappointed that AJ is going to be lost in a tag team.We got treated to another great main event from KO and the Lunatic Fringe. I could watch Ambrose vs Owens every day for the next 2 months and never get sick of it. Those two have some sickening chemistry.
NXT
Hugo Knox is a freak of Nature. I would give anything to be built like him. The other highlights for this weeks is Austin Aries, Austin Aries, Austin Aries and Baron Corbin attacking Austin Aries. Also Finn Balor and Neville put on clinic that is absolutely in the conversation for Match of the Year
TNA
Rockstar Spud explains his heel turn in typical heel fashion. It is really depressing to see such great talkers in uncomfortable roles. What was the point of turning ECIII face? He is a natural heel and cheap pops are just annoying. Let him be a heel and the fans will decide if he should be turned or not. TNA especially is way too quick to pull the trigger on a heel or face turn. There was nothing about Carter that was stale enough to need a turn. And in typical wrestling fashion the two people that got betrayed want to fight. Carter and Spud put on a great match where Carter showed a pure hatred towards Spud by Powerbombing him through a table and choking him out to end the match. If you get a chance to watch the opening match from this week, Angle and Bobby Rhoode put on a 3 1/2 star match.
ROH
This week we had the 14th Anniversary show that happened Friday night you can read the review I posted earlier this week to get a full recap. There were two match of the year contenders on this one PPV alone
On TV we had Dalton Castle attack Silas Young before and after Silas and Beer City Bruiser beat “The Boys”. After the match Castle took the beating and looks like they will continue their feud. The main event gave us a really well worked match between Matt Sydal and Adam Cole. Considering Cole was in the main event of the 14th anniversary show I hope this win catapults Sydal up the card for a nice program with Jay Lethal over the Heavyweight title.
Lucha Underground
Not enough Jack Evans for my liking but all in all the show was OK. The only real Highlight was a ladder match where Fennix and Cuerno put on a crazy match with a lot of hard bumps and high spots. I enjoy what is happening in Lucha underground I just wish there was a little more story development each week instead of having Johnny Mundo do what he did last week and nothing really said about it this week.
NJPW
In the first round of the New Japan Cup we had wins by Yano, Elgin, Tonga, Kojima, Goto, Naito, Ishii and Bad luck Fale. Nothing else really of note happened. I’ve giving my prediction of a finals of Goto vs Elgin
Global Force Wrestling
Another slow week for GFW looks like their next event is on March 11th also would like to note that they have signed with a company to start producing a television show so that is very good news.
