WWE Smackdown (4-19-2024)

A request! This was LIVE from Pittsburgh. Just under 15,000 in the house. “The product” is receipts-hot, folks, there’s no getting around it.

But is it good? That is what has been asked of me, in my opinion. If I wind up saying “no” it’s OK if you disagree. Not if I say “yes,” though. If I say yes and you disagree, it is you who is very wrong.

(Requests open and tips always appreciated!)

Asuka, Kairi Sane, Bayley & IYO SKY vs Bianca Belair, Shotzi, Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch (WWE, 11-25-2023)

WWE Survivor Series: WarGames, Rosemont, IL

It’s the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGAMES: For Her!

This new and improved version of Damage CTRL is the coolest faction in WWE history, there’s really no question about that.

Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch vs Bayley (NXT, 2-11-2015)

NXT TakeOver: Rival, Winter Park, FL

A request! It’s a FATAL FOUR-WAY for Charlotte’s NXT women’s championship. Charlotte is the champion. The others want the belt.

It’s pretty much that simple.

Bayley vs Eva Marie (NXT, 11-25-2015)

NXT, Winter Park, FL

A request! I have vague memories of this match specifically and quasi-fond memories of this particular attempt to make Eva Marie “happen,” because it was all so weirdly meta and for once, at the start of it, kinda hard to tell just how much they were really trying, and just how much of the whole bit was, in fact, simply a bit, meant to drum up a little interest in someone they still had under contract and might as well use.

The pre-match interviews with both NXT champion Bayley and Eva make it pretty clear at this point, though, but not in a bad way. Where the questions come now are how much Eva is just being bad on the mic because she is bad, or if she’s exaggerating a little bit to ramp it up because fuck it.

REVIEW: WWE WrestleMania 39 Saturday (4-1-2023)

It’s night one of WrestleMania! The Showcase of the Immortals!

SoFi Stadium looks incredible, even by modern WrestleMania standards.

REVIEW: WWE Monday Night Raw (10-24-2022)

We’re live, pal.

REVIEW: WWE Monday Night Raw (10-10-2022)

Just to be clear, this is not a “Raw recap.” I just want to talk about the matches. It’s not that I only care about matches in wrestling — far from it! — but it’s more that nobody is paying me to do this and I’m not going to spend time describing promos and shit.

REVIEW: WWE Extreme Rules 2022 (10-8-2022)

Let’s just all go with whatever this flow is. I didn’t (couldn’t) watch live, because wrestling shows on Saturday nights are basically a no-go for me, what with my fast-paced party lifestyle, so I’m coming in cold on a Sunday morning. Lord, I’m wishing I was stoned.

Sasha Banks vs Bayley (NXT, 8-22-2015)

NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY

This is a request via Ko-fi, and one of the most famous and celebrated matches in NXT history, of course. I don’t remember the last time I watched it (might’ve been the live airing, honestly), but I do remember loving it and am looking forward to this.

Sasha Banks vs Bayley (WWE, 4-16-2018)

WWE Monday Night RAW, Hartford, CT

Finally, these two will settle their differences. Surely.
