WWE CLASH AT THE CASTLE HITS & MISSES SEPTEMBER 3, 2022 CARDIFF, WALES AT PRINCIPALITY STADIUM AIRED ON PEACOCK; 1:00 p.m. EDT, 12:00 p.m. CDT BY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH.COM CONTRIBUTOR Announcers: Michael Cole, Byron […]
AEW RAMPAGE HITS & MISSES Hangman Page and Dark Order (John Silver and Alex Reynolds) defeated Orange Cassidy and Best Friends (Trent Beretta and Chucky T) to advance in the AEW Trios Championship Tournament: SPOTTY […]
New Day vs. Viking Raiders – MISS Historically, New Day plunder matches are entertaining, but this was a miss for me. This match was certainly a case of all filler, no substance. I don’t think […]
Jon Moxley Segment – HIT Moxley walked out with a slow gait. Even for him. He’s earned it though. Justin Roberts was quick to add “undisputed” to his name announcement. He’s earned the stride. He’s […]
Ziggler & Styles vs. Priest & Balor – HIT: On a show with a lot of talking (at least it seemed like the most since Triple H took over), it was nice that the show […]
GREYSON WALLER vs. APPOLO CREWS Since returning to NXT, Apollo Crews seemed somewhat directionless until his feud with Greyson Waller started a few weeks ago. Since then, its gotten personal with Waller even taking shots […]
Ricochet vs. Happy Corbin – Minor Hit This one gets a minor hit based on hey, it’s a wrestling show; let’s start the program with wrestling. I think Ricochet hasn’t had this much in WWE […]
Dark Order (John Silver, Alex Reynolds, and 10) defeated House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, and Brody King) to advance in the AEW Trios Championship Tournament: MINOR HIT A decent opening contest, but nothing […]
WWE RAW HITS AND MISSES Riddle – Rollins Brawl – HIT: Raw started off hot with the brawl between Riddle and Seth Rollins. WWE continues to do a nice job of building towards their match […]
Claudio Castagnoli and Dustin Rhodes Promo: MINOR HIT Good performance from two wrestlers who are getting some overdue dignity on a national wrestling promotion. My only criticism of this is on a structural level: having […]
WWE SMACKDOWN HITS & MISSES Ronda Rousey Promo – MISS Fewer words and more violence. Ronda’s promo cadence continues to be awkward. Sticking her with Paul Heyman or a mouthpiece is a must in this […]
Judgement Day – HIT: I haven’t been a fan of The Judgement Day (or the The in The Judgement Day), but this was a better presentation of them. I am a fan of the three […]
CARMELO HAYES vs. GIOVANNI VINCI – NXT North American Championship I’ll be honest, I didn’t think the former Fabian Aichner had a singles run in him as a member of Imperium, his character blended into […]
Opening Segment – HIT: This was a good, but not great start to Raw. The mic work from Bayley was mostly good, but she messed up some of her lines. She was good at covering […]
AEW RAMPAGE HITS & MISSES Bryan Danielson and Daniel Garcia In-Ring Promo: HIT Good change of pace for Rampage, beginning with an in-ring promo instead of cutting right to a match with no entrances. I […]
WWE SMACKDOWN HITS & MISSES Opening Smackdown with a wrestling match – HIT Hopefully, the days of Roman opening Smackdown with the same boring monologue have ended. Crazy concept to open a wrestling show with […]
KIANA JAMES vs. NIKKITA LYONS Let’s get the elephant in the room out of the way first. Now that Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons are going to be part of the WWE Women’s Tag Tournament, […]
Intro – MISS Right from the start of this episode, it felt off. I couldn’t quite figure out why. Then it hit me. As the episode started, the phrase that brought comfort to fans everywhere, […]
Shinsuke Nakamura Resurgence – Hit Shinsuke’s wrestling aura for a long time seemed as if he was just happy to be there. To be fair when creative didn’t believe in Shinsuke can you blame the […]
AEW RAMPAGE HITS & MISSES Mance Warner Pre-Match Video Promo: HIT This was excellent. I didn’t know who Mance Warner was prior to tonight, but this was good introductory promo. At least better than anything […]
Opening Segment – HIT: It always sucks when a wrestler gets hurt, but sometimes the timing is particularly bad as is the case with Becky Lynch injuring her shoulder at SummerSlam right when she was […]
AEW DYNAMITE HITS & MISSES Jon Moxley Defeated Rush – MAJOR HIT This was a HARD hitting match that acts as a fantastic opener to the show. Moxley did a great job putting Rush over […]
WOMEN’S TAG TEAM FATAL FOUR WAY – NXT Womens Tag Titles Toxic Attraction lost the titles to Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez a handful of weeks ago until the titles were vacated after Jade’s heel […]
WWE SUMMERSLAM HITS & MISSES JULY 30, 2022 NASHVILLE, TN. AT THE NISSAN STADIUM AIRED ON PEACOCK, 8:00 p.m. EDT BY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH.COM CONTRIBUTOR Announcers: Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves (Raw); Michael […]
