Hits & Misses

Kevin Owens vs. Austin Theory: Hit A good match that elevated Kevin Owens on the brand. I don’t think the loss hurts Austin Theory, as he’s the type of guy you WANT to see get […]

Opening Segment – HIT: Raw got off to a good start with Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and J.D. McDonagh coming out to address the strength of The Judgment Day. It was interesting to see McDonagh […]

HITS Opening Segment: Minor Hit I give this a lesser Hit, based on the power of both Pau Heyman and L.A. Knight to control the crowd. To the naysayers, yes Knight flubbed a couple of […]

Ricky Starks & Big Bill vs ??? The reason there are question marks there is because it’s unclear who the new tag team champions are feuding with. They were part of a messy opening segment […]

HITS Tag Team Battle Royal: Hit The beginning was the typical ‘quick elimination’ of teams, but when it came down to the last few teams, it became more enjoyable. Los Lotharios (are they still called […]

I wasn’t sure how to approach this week’s episode of Dynamite after being so disappointed with the decision-making last week in regards to the Juice Robinson “quarters” angle. While I did not get the company […]

HITS Opening Segment: Most of this segment was a Hit (the Miss coming later). I actually liked the John Cena acknowledgement of Roman’s rein and the line about earning a shot. I’m a huge fan […]
