Opinion & Analysis

•OPENING MONTAGE – MISS: The music is so hot that I can’t hear ANYTHING the people are saying. I have no idea what they’re watching or responding to. Although I see Billy Zane, so these […]

•Poppy’s Portland Performance – HIT: I’ve never been a fan of live music performances on a wrestling show, unless they are playing a wrestler’s music as they walk to the ring. Poppy actually sucked me […]

•Adam Page & Kenny Omega vs. SCU – HIT: Another hot match to kick off Dynamite. The fast-paced athletic matches have proven to be a great way to set the tone and pace of the show. […]

Overall – MISS: With only a women’s title match worth watching, and even then, only for the historical significance of the end of the longest Impact Knockouts Championship title reign in the history of the […]

•Roderick Strong calls out Velveteen Dream – HIT: Last week, Dream returned to NXT after a few months away after an injury. When he returned, he came back with Strong’s family painted onto his trunks […]

•DAWSONS (W/POPE) VS. THE BOUNCERS (W/EDDIE KINGSTON) – HIT, SHOCKINGLY: I was all prepared to hate this match. Cowboy was doing his best Hangman impression while tag partner, Eli Drake, was on guest commentary, and […]

Opening Segment with Seth & Co. – HIT: This is a marginal Hit. Raw started off with The Messiah Complex talking about what happened last week. The mic work from Seth Rollins was strong, but […]

Broserweights celebrate their victory – HIT : I continue to love every second that we see this pair on our screens. From their brilliant back and forth banter to their “Bro-mobile”, they are pure gold. […]

The Dirt Sheet – MISS: I thought re-teaming John Morrison with The Miz would be good for Miz who was floundering as a babyface after (really starting before) his feud with The Fiend. Instead, it […]

•Jon Moxley vs. Ortiz – HIT: This was one of those matches that felt like it went about 4 or 5 minutes when in reality it took up the first 15-20 minutes of Dynamite. Jon Moxley […]

Randy Orton – HIT: This was a good way to follow up on the major heat generating angle that closed out last week’s Raw. Randy Orton was great here in selling the fact that he […]

Overall – HIT: This episode easily could have been a PUSH or a MISS if it weren’t for a very good match between TJP and Hijo del Vikingo. Most of the segments and matches felt […]

OPENING MONTAGE – MISS: They’ve finally updated the video package that highlights the current roster and champions, but now we’re using Pantera?! No more Dokken?! No more “Into the Fire”?! Ladies, gentlemen, fellow friends beyond […]

Opening Segment – MISS: Ugh. Smackdown and Raw couldn’t be more different right now. I look forward to Raw every week, while dreading Smackdown. This opening segment compares so unfavorably to the start of Raw. […]
