WWE Summerslam 2017

WWE Summerslam 

2017

WWE decided in its own delusional world that trying to turn its 'Big 4' PPV's into a Wrestlemania style extravaganza, totalling six hours was barmy and testing for all viewers.

Live on Pay Per View, on August 20th, 2017 Summerslam was once again upon us, involving both the separated Raw and Smackdown brands. Would it be simply repeats or deliver different and interesting options in an already stale WWE coast along from the last six months?

Let's find out.

John Cena Vs Baron Corbin

The comedy cartoon continues.
Cor-binned!

Baron Corbin is in the doghouse. Big time. He has upset someone in WWE and the belief is that it is none other than John Cena and Nikki Bella. Corbin has and is being punished.

Corbin previously cashed in his Money in the Bank title opportunity on the previous Smackdown before Summerslam. Cena distracted him and Corb's lost.

He goes down in history as the third loser of the cash in alongside WWE erased Damien Sandow and John Cena.

John Cena easily plowed through Corbin in the opening squash job.

Corbin never delivered in the run up but was Vince McMahon's second prodigal son. The first of McMahon's prophecies was Drew McIntyre. Both fell flat and never became the main champion Vince dreamed of. 

It was pointless and served only to abuse Corbin, with a Cena protection once more.

WWE Smackdown Women's Championship

Naomi (c) Vs Natalya

Naomi has been champion for some time but it is increasingly clear she needs to drop it and it is fast approaching Natalya, the only veteran of skill on Smackdown, whom hasn't been rewarded the top prize yet, a strong chancer here.

It was obvious to this reader that Natalya had strong innings this time, but would WWE be as cruel as it often is with Natalya, that it would let her win, only to have Carmella drop her after?

The action was rushed but strong and roved another tight battle from both females who have been WWE's main female stars that they never fully understood years back. WWE are behind on about 4-6 years.

Natalya submitted Naomi after a good match and won her first female title, the Smackdown Women's championship, to respectable acclaim.

Cass Vs Big Show

SpongeBob crap Pants.

Still trying to make Cass 'Big', WWE, for some obscure reason that made zero sense, had Enzo Amore suspended above the ring in Chris Jericho's Shark Cage. 

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Vince McMahon enjoys seeing Enzo Amore 'ragdolled' and I don't blame him. Enzo is useless but WWE were high on him at one point. If only they listened beforehand. 

Mmmm, Fit Show :)

Now WWE are intent on bullying Amore in the next line of victims in WWE's hostile environment of hate. Later on in the PPV, WWE would attempt to play the victim on 'cyber bullying' speeches with its new sponsor of the evening, since most dropped out of WWE realising wrestling is in terrible decline for 2017 and beyond.

At least someone who needs to listens.

The match was another useless and clunky showing from Cass, who defeated the ever improved Big Show, looking even fitter than ever, which saw Enzo Amore stripped to his underwear. This was done to mock him, yet was just tacky and unappealing on all fronts that exposed WWE as bullies they proclaim against and useless at providing strong entertainment.

No one really cared.

Randy Orton Vs Rusev

Ooof! Short but still sweet. :)

Many favoured Rusev in this one for some weird reason. It's good Rusev gains some following for his powerful skills but against Randy Orton, he had no chance.

What was rather peculiar for many was Randy Orton dropping Rusev in roughly nine seconds with a rapid RKO to win the match. WWE dislike Rusev since he and Lana got engaged in previous years and it went to news sites that WWE had no control over. WWE want all the media, which is causing them and their marketing brand of WWE a serious problem, having the opposite effect of failing to sell.

WWE Raw Women's Championship

Alexa Bliss (c) Vs Sasha Banks

Cock-a-poo.

Steroid abusing Sasha, who still hasn't sat out for thirty days since abusing last year, has now been rewarded the Raw Women's trinket. She submitted Alexa Bliss and made her look like a pathetic afterthought, who was the only saving grace of Raw's female locker-room alongside misused Emma.

Well girls, do steroids, and you can be strong and powerful.

Sasha Blanks and her beautiful abs.

The action from Sasha Banks was another pitiful and meek performance that had boredom and empty tricks that failed to be connective wrestling. Many botches were still involved.

It was as blank as Sash. she won by submission. 

Where have we seen this in a women's title match before?

No... Me neither. :(

Sasha also entered in a stupid golden headdress trying to emulate a peacock but looked more like a useless coackatoo. There was no need for it.

Bray Wyatt Vs Finn Balor

Facepaint, draw on your leg and
wear toilet tissue, you too
 can be Finn Balor, kids!

The Demon King, Finn Balor, went from generic non-entity to some face painted loon prancing around in dreadlocks resembling toilet paper. Prancing around the ring, trying to match his supernatural rival, Bray Wyatt, Balor looked ever more useless and ridiculous.

Scary...

Balor lacked high levels of charisma, was all about silly character, which was lacking, and couldn't withstand Wyatt's prowess, even if he is trying to be the WWE distorted version of Max Waltham, in part.

Wyatt can never be me. It cannot be replicated, but Finn (Demon-Spiderman-Venom rip-ff) Balor was a laughable joke on the main stage. Well, at least it provided entertainment. The marks will cheer for their Indy darling as the often do to feel it isn't a sham failure, but deep down, they do not wish to admit it is a pitiful attraction.

The crowd in attendance made it clear they were not fussed and could not care less about this facepaint carnival freak against the often 'made to always lose' as finger point bullying to said writer, as obvious disinterest from such hype.

After the Demon cruiserweight (Wow, we're quaking in our boots) did all his flying fancies, fag Balor randomly got the best of Bray Wyatt in a short, weak and tepid encounter of random chance so Finn Balor could pin and win. Bland, devoid of personality and simply catastrophic lunacy.

Meh.

It was a nothing match that was booked randomly in the run up, and the main play on stage reiterated that. How embarrassing.

WWE Raw Tag Team Championship

Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins Vs Cesaro and Sheamus (c)

What made this match special was not the re-uniting of two people who have nothing to do on the main roster and try to relive out their past after singles-dom getting over failed them, but Cesaro working a four man extravaganza.

Cesaro was undoubtedly the star, and not just for his beautiful derriere. 

He managed to get himself over and his tag partner Sheamus, previously useless over the past year or two for WWE. Then there was Seth Rollins, injury prone and taking a back seat from heavyweight spotlights for Triple H's new batch of kindergarten rookies from the Indy Darling world of ignorance. Left at the end, was the spare part, come stereotypical lunatic, Dean Ambrose. With numerous WWE failings as champions and floater coasting along, Cesaro boosted every one of them AND the match was a successful epic. Granted it will be forgettable to many after the hype of Summerslam, but on reflection, was the only real match of note worth and skill that gripped audiences.

Both Ceasro and Sheamus gave good on nominating themselves for the Manspreader award, and managed to keep it classy in the action. Masterful. 

Ambrose and Rollins re-enacted their The Shield days to save their plodding careers a little after WWE failed a two year experiment with Dean Ambrose failing to make him a dishonourable man. They did the double, high flying moves and Shield powerbomb stuff. It was alright, but nothing we haven't already seen before, which is always relied on together as pals or enemies that WWE has milked like Cena/Orton/HHH battles that kept WWE in a stale of failed movement forward to the next era.

Buffering.
The one time it's acceptable.

World Class.

Anyways, it was decent from the two luvvies against the two brutes of strength. Eventually Cesaro and Sheamus dropped the titles to Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in a smooth and emphatic handover thrilled with emotion, depth, charisma and action. This one was world class and showed how committed the four were to standing out on the over packed card of fancy filler.

WWE United States Championship

Special Referee 

AJ Styles (c) Vs Kevin Owens

Special Referee  - Shane McMahon

Another repeat battle of zero value with Action Man verses KFC Man. (KFC are once again sponsoring WWE's PPVS). How sad can ya get? Do you know how they really cook and treat your chickens? Read on...

To help this useless battle have another meaning of nothingness, Shane McMahon was implemented to give it some, err, something, as Special Referee. *Yawn*.

Obvious choices, ref involvements and bumps and dodgy action was not at all entertaining. Ironically it was saddled in the toilet break match slot. Go figure.

The two under-performing ignorants from random Indy playgrounds in WWE, over its so called prestigious US title, which has been devalued to the point of laughability once again, was sad.

How KFC REALLY cook your food...

Mmmm, brain. Now that's what I call RAW!

Thirty seconds after the bell rang, good ol', predictable Kev, the star of the ages, cowered out to ringside to walk around. Huffing, out of breath, rolling around, screaming and standing still before rolling around on the floor was all the rage for Kev's repetitively pitiful repertoire.

Trying to maintain an Indy scene presence in WWE, still not knowing how to work, and handed all the titles to him by WWE on a plate, Kev continued to waste everyone's time as a bumbling douche who once more used his flabby bones to hurl himself at his opponent. That is all he can do. The ratings decreased rapidly thanks to Big Kev, among other instances, but was a huge dropping point. He's Triple H's friend and Vince wants to use him to mock those who know it is futile. Classic entertainment. Only the Indy marks are left in WWE's audience ad even they are getting bored.

Then there's the other TNA/Indy cast off, AJ 'no ' Styles. The acrobatic flaunter with zero charisma and bad promo's with cheesy catchphrases is as lame as it comes. The action was the same rope jump filler.

Eventually AJ Styles retained. He had no competition. No-one truly cares except Triple H's obsessively personal ego of failed succession on screen management.

WWE Championship

Jinder Mahal (c) Vs The Singh Brothers Vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Up next is WWE's still useless jobber, full of steroid injected body mass, being rewarded at the height of programming for WWE's international marketing strategy of India, a country famed for rapists, murderous actions, slummish shanty towns, slave labour (including children) and forced marriages that taint the country's lineage, with a Japanese freak of zero translatability.

Nakamura needed a violinist to get him over and even then it was all about the skill of the musician, not the dumb ragamuffin in sheen red leather.

Fu*kamoron entered the ring and instantly flopped out his tongue and grinded his crotch on a PG, family orientated show, as his normal routine, looking like a perverted sex freak. 

So there we have it, a random jobber called up from nowhere as a perverted sexual deviant (which is not far from the truth in WWE's sex scandal world) against a jobber used for international marketing.

The real loser in this programme? The WWE title, which since the last two years from Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles has been wiped of any of its true worth and is just some random thing that no one really wants or needs any more.

Both lacked style, skill, technical depth or any charisma and still insanely green, despite mark luvvies defiant in their delusion.

The action was boring and everyone at home and in the arena felt it.

Jinder Mahal retained against some random he needed inserted to carry him to the next PPV. The Singh Brothers naturally got involved, and Jinder's move sets were still meekly lacking. Shinsu*ker Fu*kamoron was just there. Thrilling. WWE will be the root cause of their own downfall, every time. This future looks very bleak indeed. Well done Triple H.

WWE Universal Championsip

Fatal 4-Way

Brock Lesnar (c) w/ Paul Heyman Vs Roman Reigns Vs Braun Strowman Vs Samoa Joe

The main event was bearable for its shortness, filled with quick spots and mayhem antics of everyone throw through objects. It is a cheap and tacky mechanism WWE hope to pick up the evening, and not amazing, but with the rest of the poor showing, was a little pick me up from the boredom beforehand. It could have been much better, though.

Braun Stowman acted as a tweener (a go-between, or floater/fluffer, if you prefer), who is likely to become an honourable dude after Roman Reigns proves WWE's biggest failed project of John Cena Mark II. WWE are also now moving John Cena to Raw without a trade like Jason Jordan (abuse your own rules, eh?) and gear a Wrestlemania match with Cena/Reigns. That should be a fun one. WWE are deluded. Both will be viciously booed out of the arena together.

Samoa Joe was just there to fill the numbers. A lottery winner of Triple H's ignorance mark fandom club with the plodding poodle ticket. He had nothing to offer and was instantly forgettable.

Braun Strowman was allowed much offence to build up the new contender to Brock Lesnar by dumping him, rather plainly, through multiple ringside tables to render the beast down.

Lesnar did a stretcher job, carted off to the backstage through the arena, after also suffering a fall away collapse partition of the barricade corner, as is every WWE hardcore-ish, booking nowadays.

The other three saps duked it out until, predictable Lesnar returned. He paraded down the titantron, which surely would have made more sense to enter from the arena he left at?

Anyway, he came back and destroyed everyone, with quick thrills and spills, suplexes and others getting some near fall breakups, with a pull of referee outside from ring count.

Eventually Brock Lesnar destroyed all adversaries to retain the WWE Universal Championship. In other words, there really was no-one else credible to lift the title, despite WWE worried his absence as a part timer, with championship, leaves the Raw brand losing viewers.

Raw loses viewers because WWE book crap and repeat boredom. 

Many had thought Brock struck third time lucky in annoying WWE with a contract renegotiation salary demand, which has also unnerved the locker-room backstage.

For WWE, losing Lesnar would be a big loss, with no adequate replacements, who are also full timers that can't and haven't materialised. WWE at its very booking best.

PPV Rating - 3/10

Men/Women of their matches - Baron Corbin, Natalya, Randy Orton, Big Show, Alexa Bliss, Bray Wyatt, Cesaro, Shane McMahon, Neither were good enough, Brock Lesnar

Man/Woman of the PPV - Cesaro

An improvement in recent months, but a six hour PPV with almost everyone on it won't pull the wool over the eyes of the fact WWE are insanely bad at booking, writing, angle creation and having actual talent in the right spots in the right situation.

Better than 1/10's every month this year, but only thanks to Natalya/Naomi, Cesaro and Brock Lesnar. The rest cost it dearly.

WWE needed to have a monumental shift in its programming to freshen things up. It waited way too long once again and when it has, it is still seen as derogatory and just a last chance desperation act, which fails to encourage fans and critics back to the fold of an already evaporating wrestling and WWE scene. Almost all title switch ups were confirmation of this. Some deserved it, others didn't.

Randy Orton and Rusev was a wasted opportunity that could have set both with a powerful feud and future as key players destined for WWE's success, despite it hating its own.

Cor-binned. The run is officially over.

John Cena once more ploughed through a new up and comer, all-be-it as WWE's hitman, as the once chosen one alongside Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin was officially squashed for good. He never made it generally and Vince failed to listen, adamantly pushing him all the way. Look at it now. Corbin never took off in WWE and is never likely to either. He isn't the only one, but WWE don't have the balls to hire the right people and the right placements for talent. Corbin did the job of laying down.

Natalya/Naomi was short and rushed, but made magic with what they had and finally rewarded veteran female Natalya what she should have earnt years ago. Thankfully for her, WWE did not job her out to Carmella afterwards.

Enzo Amore was only there to be laughed at and mocked in WWE's constant bullying environment. Cass and Big Show were the filler. On the following Raw, Cass has also suffered an injury.

Jinder Mahal's evaporation of the WWE title, despite his bulked up needles of juicy steroids prove WWE allow for its own abuses and return to is tainted environment of dirty practices and peculiar hatred.

Sasha Banks, dressed in ludicrous headdress for attention, were her only selling point as a being. She too has still not served suspension for her steroid abuses last year. Only in WWE can disgrace be rewarded. To think they target this to kids? Yet they preach about morals? I am not a catchphrase, I am reality. Alexa Bliss looked stupid by empty loss to random challenger.

AJ Styles and Kevin Owens continue to stink out the place, with a nasty whiff of Kev's close up cellulite on those dirty armpits. Something America can be proud of.

Some silly cruiserweight prancing around on the ground, on all fours, in facepaint and toilet tissue was not exactly a disturbing threat to an already distinguishably eerie force that has audiences always guessing and entertainment, solely on the Max Waltham presence, distorted and used by WWE. Wyatt, whilst still laughable by WWE booking is a watered down abuse mechanism hat only WWE seem to think is sending a message. It makes them look insanely retarded with gross inexperience of reality.

If it wasn't for Cesaro's magnificent arse saving the day once again, as on every PPV, it would have been completely forgettable. It wasn't just Cesaro's delicious bubble butt that stole the show. His ability is matched with his boundless charisma, technical and heavy power and sellable style for others that makes him the kingpin of PPV once more. Only WWE and Vince McMahon's unknown hate of him seem to misunderstand the future WWE could have. Fans already left on the Cesaro bullying. 

Same old routine, yet again. 

Though what returned was another poor throw together of two thirds of The Shield with lukewarm Dean Ambrose and sleepwalking zombie Seth Rollins. I know! Let's put these two deadbeats back together to milk their past. Great. Four years on the roster since The Shield and not one of them (including Roman Reigns) has made it. Seth, briefly, thanks to us, but WWE stalling has put him back to nothingness.

Sheamus actually proved something good tonight for the first time in ages and WWE solely has Cesaro once more to thank for that. That three strong people on the main roster Cesaro has elevated and kept himself relevant at the very top. When will WWE figure it out? They have too much hatred for talent that can get over on its own, don't they? Yet they rely on those who succeed for them. Lose the ego and make the call.

Brock Lesnar was the only option to headline. WWE's chosen flounder in Roman Reigns and its side attraction in Braun 'Brown' Strowman was not any level appealing. Despite Romey's efforts, his future is sealed due to WWE's past two years of dreadful booking like John Cena/Vince McMahon refusal to can his own character thoughts of what makes it, actions. Vince is said to be desperate to get his 6 foot something, however many pounds, 1980's wrestling stylee's over at any cost. these are the results. Failure to listen is costly for future. 

The main itself was rushed, sloppy and full of tricks to cover the fact none of these four main stars can actually wrestle. How embarrassing. Not one superstar in the main event can wrestle or be respected fully other than to beat someone they dislike up because WWE have failed the audience over the whole year. Ouch.

WWE are said to be also planning another 'Superstar Shakeup' brand switch, forgetting moving John Cena and Jason Jordan freely, and hosting it just four months after the first failed one. WWE can't even apply its own rules to be upheld.

Condoning Triple H's ignorant hires
has not worked out overall as best
business management strategy.
Future is bleak

Six hour tiresome show, with zero depth and all thrown together at last minute matches so everyone can feel happy being utilised was as lame as it comes. A Wrestlemania wannabe which did more harm than good.

Repeat actions, same old phoning it in, routine angles, predictable outcomes and barely entertaining wastes of huge money in ticket sales or online Network views was not the best WWE had to offer. For WWE it is all about marketing, and media whoring themselves out for, which is once more killing the product. Triple H/Stephanie McMahon and Vince believe this is a great decision to get attention, mostly Trips and Steph, with Vince giving the nod if it works out to see how it goes. Vince is crippling his legacy for the airhead era, a magical lightbulb in the head moment that lasts as long as a brain fart. The eureka moments of those who don't have the full business acumen for attention seeking drives people away instead of attracting. It is not about the entertainment or action and the fans and critics know it. WWE seem to be the only ones who don't.

The airhead era. Born of HHH's absurd
ego to be and not have this writer.
Going oh, so well, isn't it?
We all need a trophy.

They haven't a clue and are too egotistically stubborn to try and be me without being able to be me. Only I can make it work, but Triple H's ego of ignorant hires is obsessed with trying to outdo, just like when he hated Edge being a better World champion on screen than him and H wanted to have him discredited by other stars. Ain't he swell? Lose. The. Ego. Triple H fails to see he has become a massive art of the problem and his one off tournament and NXT playground pop up shops are highly embarrassing for WWE overall. Triple H has become the WWE's new age Dixie Carter. That's not a good achievement to have.

Overall Summerslam, once again, sucked.

Only four to six people made it good (if you count seeing Orton and Rusev for two minutes). Summerslam has officially fizzled out.  The Pre-Show was forgettable, all of WWE performers were forgettable and the show will go down in history as yesterday's fish and chip wrapper. There are no memorable moments or any match of real power (bar Cesaro) that will be remembered, even if WWE try to flaunt flashbacks on screen. 

When will WWE stop living in the past and move to the future? It doesn't have long left, yet I, among many other fans and critics will be here for a very long time.

We will give the only true review and won't be deluded by the hazy mask of WWE or any performers cheap and tacky attempts to fool with random lunacy unworthy of our precious time. 

WWE need to step out of their comfort zone, think of real plans and lose the crap staff in the backroom ruining all its potential for the declining future's ahead.

Can WWE shelve their hateful attitude in the airhead era?

It remains to be seen.

Until then, WWE will forever have nothing to offer, no matter how glitzy they try to polish that turd.

You're Welcome.

WWE Extreme Rules 2017

WWE Extreme Rules 2017

Once again WWE opened its Extreme Rules PPV, live on Sunday 4th June, 2017 from the Royal Farms Arena, in Baltimore, Maryland. It was exclusive to the Raw brand. With another named Pay Per View with simple card layout, stipulations galore and lacking talent with old hat performers and absent champions, would or even could WWE be able to survive its extremely dense booking? 

Let's find out.

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Dean Ambrose (c) Vs The Miz w/ Maryse

Failed second run.

The boredom of the Intercontinental Championship continues. Resident sap The Miz against even more of a sap that has been all but destroyed by WWE booking, Dean Ambrose. WWE have no one else to fill the void of challenger or champion holder for the sake of it.

The action was once more boring, tepid and pitiful typecasting that has all but evaporated Dean Ambrose as anything meaningful any longer. Two failed IC title runs and a disastrous WWE championship last year from WWE amid growing concerns from this writer have finally ended Ambrose as a main event or compelling mid card star.

His opponent, The Miz, forever a plain weasel with no style, paltry action and the use of his wife to help him out, with yet another lukewarm title holding exercise, does not bode well for anyone in WWE's future. The Miz, of course, won the title once again. The setting is officially still cursed and empty of any charisma. It encourages no feeling at all to its lacking hype. This was simply filler to WWE's very painful cracks ripping its walls apart.

Tag Team

Rich Swann and Sasha Banks Vs Noam Dar and Alicia Fox

Pathetic perverts and druggies.

A pre-show show moved into the main card as filler because the card has no other performers should be warning sign for WWE enough. Laboured, sloppy and pathetic spots of no value of another repetitive formula in WWE, with a match fitting enough for the secondary TV shows, was another puerile embarrassment. 

The only highly was drug enhancing steroid abuser, who still has not served her suspension for 30 days since last Summer, Sasha 'blanks' Banks, taking down ignorant sex pervert and closet homosexual midget Noam Dar. The love angle couples is so sad even for WWE. 

Rich Swann and Sasha Banks won this nothing match that should not have aired and has harmed WWE even more than usual at how it structures p*ss poor card events and expect fans to pay for it.

Ignorant British homosexual Noam Dar, has caused controversy in WWE once more with naked picture leaks and posing for gay selfies sent to other people for seedy sex almost exposing his manhood. This is WWE's finest perverted production. To think this is aimed at kids, too. It also disgraces the LGBT community as they are not all this way. Why Triple H thought this midget was a successful acquisition who has done nothing in his time, makes up the numbers and is injury prone all the time again taints WWE's image and purse strings. How sad.

WWE Raw Women's Championship

Kendo Stick on a Pole

Alexa Bliss (c) Vs Bayley

Another yawn fest in the overly drawn out feud already just one month born, with both performers so lacking in style or passion. 

After years of 'on a pole' jokes from audience fans and critics of WWE for being so loose on its ideas, tonight they put a Kendo Stick on one to seem a bit hardcore to get the girls over. It didn't work.

Both females are once more treading water, highly inexperienced for the main stage and victims of overly green call ups rushed through developmental territory turned into Triple H's egotistical playpen 'brand' NXT, which seems not to be focused on training anymore. The results on the main roster have been self evident over the past four years. The ratings support such failings. Triple H's ego won't learn. WWE is sinking ever more fast than ever before and a future looks less than promising under this lacking business, err, strategy.

It was a simple divas match with a few moments of get the stick, not get the stick, everyone take their turn to build some 'ooh-ahh' moments that were simply overdone and wasteful. Both divas could not live up to that pressure placed onto them which should not have had such a lame theme added.

Bayley continues to be lame and an afterthought who just happens to be there to raise divas numbers. Her opponent, Alexa Bliss, is still very green, lukewarm and lacking powerful in-ring presence as a wrestler. She may have some fan following as the best of a bad bunch, but is still way too inexperienced to carry the main brand or title, but there is no one else available either, which hilarious shames WWE's failed diva come women's revolution 'thing'.

The players may have changed but the outcome is still the same, and it is poorer than every for a future to try and encourage as game changing. Alexa Bliss is the best of a bad bunch on the Raw brand, which saw her retain the worthless trinket of no importance. The action was insanely exhausting to watch. Bayley naturally took a heavy beating afterwards. Bayley, a kiddie favourite, could not wield a beating onslaught on Bliss, could she? 

WWE Raw Tag Team Championship

Cage

Tag Team

Cesaro and Sheamus Vs The Hardy Boyz (c)

The returning oldies, with Jeff Hardy working injured, and an inconceivable title run that has been excruciatingly underwhelming title holding only (as standard practice in WWE with everyone these days) did not elevate anyone tonight. 

Cesaro is always the star that WWE hate for being talented in his own right. Saddled with Sheamus and fully nasty now, the show was poor, despite Cesaro's best efforts to sell everyone else. H looked a stooge and the other three are still not anything other than boring, washed up, old timers or lost youth catching up with WWE's disastrous booking committee.

After another long winded bout, Cesaro and Sheamus scaled the cage to become the new WWE Raw tag champs. It should have been amazing, but was simply an afterthought despite having one half of the best performers back on top to gear the tainted tag division to new heights again.

The Hardyz naturally provided all the monkey jumping spots to get some cheap heat again. It was not awesome.

The only highlight was Cesaro's pert backside, in a professional and tastefully entertaining, in-action moment that stole the whole interest of this utterly lame PPV in concept and implementation. 

WWE Cruiserweight Championship

Submission

Neville (c) Vs Austin Aries

The long running feud between the pair of Neville and ignorant shrimp Austin Aries continued to drag on. Worn out from its inception months ago as a novelty act, the battles have been nothing but embarrassing toilet breaks. Nothing has changed and tonight was no exception. It did not shine WWE's so called 'little man power surge' once more that sees many continue to call for the Cruiserweight division to be depleted as it never should have been revived.

It is a dead horse failing to drink from the camel's oasis.

The typical jumpy acrobatics continued, in the Indy darlings bounce around teaser to fill the intermission before the real action arrives. That's the role of the division. To fill in before the important stuff. It has no place and is costing WWE way too much money just to change the ropes to purple so Triple H can feel special with his ignorant darlings called up so greenly to satisfy his failed business ego trip.

Neville retained in another useless match which was made into a submission. What a laugh.

Fatal 5 Way

Number One Contendership

Roman Reigns Vs Seth Rollins Vs Finn Balor Vs Bray Wyatt Vs Samoa Joe

Face of WWE. Thrilling.

WWE's answer to everything, throw all the main guys they want at the top of the roster out in a random free for all and hope for the best. This was pathetically laughable to watch. Once more built on the essence of thrills and spills all over, with spots used literally every second to cover the lacking entertainment values or wrestling prestige, it was just embarrassing for a main event.

The absentee, the champion, no less, Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Universal Championship, against the winner of this battle. Who really cares?

Cruiserweights as main event
laughing stock.

Thrills and spills. This was a cruiserweights match up with aerial 'stuff' among bigger, more lumbering masses. (And weedy stickman Finn Balor). Everyone had their turn to do something. (Can't wait for Money in the Bank next month). Zzzzz.

Roman Reigns running knee striked Seth Rollins. Rollins did high dives from the top rope and tables outside were broken. Reigns Speared Finn Balor through the ever predictable fall apart partition at the corner barricade at ringside with the crowd. Oooh! It's so hardcore! Or a tiring bore. Used every single year, this is as boring as WWE's laid on spread that fails to do anything new. WWE are fresh out of ideas.

Acrobatics again. Zzzzz.

When they weren't phoning it in, not really bothering to wrestle and just do the WWE blueprint script of actions, the match saw Bray Wyatt have his spooky moments, before being completely demystified by WWE's hate fuelled dropping of momentum as signposting hate.

Samoa Joe, a random plus one, plus size Triple  H favourite, who was called up three months back and has done absolutely nothing just like Kevin Owens, won the match after submitting the ever useless acrobat, Finn Balor, who as the ignorant weed he is, simply passed out.

Instead of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins or even Bray Wyatt, WWE chose Triple H's fandom favourites that continue to claw down WWE's business model and failed entertainment that has all but crippled its ratings. WWE don't care and fans continue to leave after WWE failed to learn why the numbers keep dropping. It's not working.

PPV Rating - 1/10

Men/Women of their matches - The Miz, No-one was good enough, Alexa Bliss, Cesaro, Neville, Seth Rollins

Man/Woman of the PPV - Cesaro

Lol

Inconceivable that Samoa Joe, some random from TNA, is now a number one contender, since doing nothing of value on the roster and plodding along with a chance opportunity 'cos Triple H wants him to lead. Hilarious. Joe has no transferable quality's, has lame entrance music, no presence or charisma and is vacuously out of shape that cannot justify any talent as a leading figure of the company. Many believe he was only chosen (apart from Triple H's erratic hard on) because he is fat and the mighty Brock Lesnar needs some bulk to battle with. Good luck with that. Joe doesn't stand a chance, when Lesnar can be bothered to earn his millions by turning up once in a blue moon. The hilarity of a champion not even there in desperate times of WWE need, and a championship with zero credibility since its birth or title holders devaluating it, is another grand concept of WWE's erratic failures. Joe was the 'focus' of the show. Isn't that saying something when the main thought is a random jobber taking away from some of WWE's mainstream named superstars. 

Typecast repeats.

The Miz is constantly stuck to the IC title as WWE have no options left. Opponents and champions are empty handed in WWE and it is the same repetitive feud on either brand. Boring is not the word. WWE have stained all involved and whatever title used to be iconic is now simply idiotic. All emphasis has been drained from it entirely.

Alexa Bliss is tame and lukewarm. Bayley is pathetic and uselessly tepid. The action, story and meaning is not there and no competition in WWE's Raw divas roster can elevate this disastrous repeat of random title holding boredoms. 

Meh.

Neville and the Cruiserweight Championship will should have been resigned last year and never brought back perfectly embodies that thought with its lacking event tonight and before it. The same old boredoms, a failed acrobatics waste of time every week/month and zero competition with any depth or charisma once more taints WWE with Triple H's insanely ignorant ego failing to listen or act correctly for the business as is his cheap slogan of constant failure in NXT 'experiments'. Not one act from the NXT call up has been a resounding success in WWE, despite being given titles and high booking favouritism beyond talent.

The tag pre-show thing was simply ludicrous, pathetic and senseless. Highly ignorant, full off steroid abusing women and lukewarm interaction, it was a waste of time.

Delightful saving grace.

The only highlight became Cesaro's amazingly pert and simply beautiful derriere, regardless of sexuality, that was a good sign of stardom, as well as entertaining. Again Cesaro has all the makings, but WWE are all out of ideas with hate and snarl. He and his booty outshone everyone and everything on the card to make something bearable in a poor and pitiful card of boredom, repeats and lacking direction yet again as is standard WWE procedure. The Hardyz were once more boring and shouldn't have bothered coming back. They are highly overrated and it is sad to see nostalgia on WWE at such a desperate time for them and WWE, to try and stay relevant. 

WWE's shows have been earning the lowest ever ratings over just the last month for both its main shows. What an embarrassment. WWE continue to avoid the issue, writing, creative people, or simple action and stars that will make fans rejoice. Blubbering ignorance or slow, out of shape and boring stars like Joe, Reigns, Balor, Strowman or Kevin Owens'es are WWE's highly ignorant delusion on Triple H's obsessively useless ego to feel part of the McMahon family as creative and business genius. Fans left when Triple H threw in all of his failed NeXT projects. His ego is the biggest problem WWE face.

All green, inexperienced (even if they have been on the indie circuit as fans blindly cheerlead, which Triple H, the mark, agrees to get popularity) these stars are out of their depth. No skill, lost in the WWE way of performance and a tame Indy representation that was needed but became too much, exposed WWE and the stars so useless, WWE have misunderstood its business model in modern times. Trying to be me but not with me has cost dearly. Fans have left and continue to realise WWE is not the place to waste their drained lifestyle. Stock is also dropping, even if WWE invest their own capital into it to seem on top.

New WWE future with imbecilic decisions not working out.

Samoa Joe was inconceivable and with any luck will be destroyed by Brock Lesnar next PPV. Even so, it was a poor PPV result that makes no sense or meaning to random Kevin Owens chubsters favouritism by Triple H's fandom freebies club.

In seclusion.

The champion, Brock Lesnar, still fills up milk cartons with his no shows. Missing and unable to defend or even have a championship presence, and not in tune with the WWE 'Universe' as its championship is meant to be, is another categorical embarrassment for WWE. they have no competition nor any stars to be champions.

All championships are officially zapped by WWE of any legitimacy and have no essence or being in worthy acquisitions after Triple H's made game playing of ignorance and devaluing freebies for marketing lunacy.

All WWE PPV's are becoming just another show like its poorly repetitive with empty, nonsensical TV shows and a plain embarrassment. WWE is sunk right now. They will do nothing to repair its wreckage. their ideas are fresh out of water and it does not have the staff to survive the follow ups. That's down to WWE's stubborn and nasty behaviour of hate, than realising what helps. Ego fester's WWE with a toxic distress.

All in all, one thing is clear. 

Who cares?

You're Welcome.
