Grimmas

She caught him by surprise with MMA moves and flying stuff. He was a monster who was a little over confident and her only offense was surprise attacks. I generally hate inter-gender too, but this worked well and the crowd was great for it.

Any reaction show coming for the "Road to WrestleMania" the network special from Toronto?

I review CM Punk vs AJ Styles from IWA-MS as requested by Chad for this week's Fan Favourites. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/aj-styles-vs-cm-punk-iwa-ms-8th-anniversary-show-10232004/ If you want me to review your match request for a future Fan Favourites, post your request below.

This was so great. Great wrestling, great skits with character development. The evil champion sitting above the ring in a throne. I can't wait to watch next week. Haven't felt this way in years about wrestling.

Every match on night 1 had a reverse frankensteiner.

NXT is filled with guys who could take that role. Sheamus is perfect for it though

I wonder if anybody can watch a PWG in one sitting? Even the PWG fans?

Two nights. Night 1 was one of the worst shows all year. The problem I have with PWG is that the matches focus on popping the crowd with nearfalls. That is find in moderation, but when every match has all these huge kick outs it's too exhausting for me to watch. Love the Mike Bailey matches though.

The 2016 Match of the Year has been booked for the next NXT Special in Dallas.

Last year had a lot of Chavo Guerrero Jr and Blue Demon Jr

Really more than anything. Season 1 was so great and this year they are bringing in Rey Jr. I have way too high of expectations.

I watched Raw for the first time since I stopped doing "This Week in Wrestling" podcast and man, I forgot how bad it was. You have the authority controlling everything. Every match you have Michael Cole going on about how everybody wants to impress the authority. Can't wrestling be about a bully getting there comeuppance, and the quest to be the best?

Sami Zayn looks like a legit athlete not a cartoon character.

Inflation as well.

I wrote this for my blog in my review of the Hulkamania CHV tape and I want to know if I am crazy or if this match is just really great. Announcers: Gorilla Monsoon & Howard Finkel What a truely bizarre team in the booth. The first thing they do is make sure that the $15,000 is on the line. At this time Bobby Heenan said he would pay out that money if anybody could bodyslam Studd, the true giant of wrestling. Bobby Heenan confirms that it is always on the line. What follows is a surprisingly great match. It’s built around Hogan gaining control, then going for the bodyslam only for Studd to block it and then take control. The big moment occurs when Hogan goes for a bodyslam near the ropes and Studd is able block it and drag Hogan to the floor. He uses the table, ring post and guardrail to bust Hogan open! This leads to the longest heat segment of the match. Studd is so in control he even hits a flying ax handle off the top! During this segment we see the first bodyslam of the match and it’s by Studd. Hogan starts to “Hulk Up”, but he gets booted to the floor. After a little of bit of the King of the Mountain spots, Hogan drags him to the floor. We get some brawling and a comeback which leads to a bodyslam on the concrete floor and a countout win for Hogan. I really can’t believe how great this match was. Rating: ****

My review of Hulkamania. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/hulkamania-wf002/ I had no idea there was such a great Big John Studd vs Hulk Hogan match out there.

That's exactly how \i feel

Monday Minis is here. I review Pierrothito vs Bam Bam. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/26/pierrothito-vs-bam-bam-cmll-9202011/

My predictions based on the Rumble. Triple H vs Roman Reigns (WWE Title) Brock Lesnar & Undertaker vs Wyatt Family Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens Charlotte vs Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch (Divas Title) AJ Styles vs Chris Jericho Kalisto vs Rusev (US Title) Dean Ambrose vs Sheamus (IC Title) A New Day vs Usos vs Dudley Boys (TLC) Andre the Giant Battle Royal

Don't even have to split them, just turn stereo to mono will do the trick.

What about Nakamura?

On ppv? Tonight. On Raw, months ago.

Bullet Club invasion? Daniel Bryan return? There isn't a lot of options. 2014/2015 had some of the worst booking ever and they are in position to do it again.

I don't think there is one single outcome of this Rumble match that I would like. Making a newly crowned champion defend the title against 29 contenders is silly. I guess if Roman retains and then faces people going forward that aren't in the Rumble like AJ, Owens, Ambrose, then maybe it will work.
