The NeXT Level (2 of 4) – NXT 11/2/16 Review

The eight remaining teams in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic battled it out to see who would advance to the Semifinal Round. Who won, who forfeited and who couldn’t compete due to injury. Adam Kohn and I break it all down on the second installment of The NeXT Level.

It’s Time For The NeXT Level (1 of 4)

My co-host on the SmackDown BreakDown, Adam Kohn is obsessed with WWE’s developmental touring band, NXT. So, we decided to try a four week pilot leading into Takeover Toronto, where we review the 10/26/16 episode of NXT along with a look at the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

The Odds of AJ Styles vs. Shawn Michaels Actually Happening

It’s only fair to start this post by stating that this match is probably not going to happen….but what if?

An image made its voyage around the internet last week hyping a fantasy match up at next year’s Royal Rumble pitting WWE World Champion AJ Styles against Shawn Michaels.

History and Doubt Equals Opportunity at Hell in a Cell

Mick Foley upped the ante when he announced Tuesday morning on Facebook that Sasha Banks and Charlotte will main event Hell in a Cell. Later on, Foley deflated the balloon of excitement when he clarified that the match order for the show is not yet final.

If the match ends up being the main event, it would be the first time that a women’s match has gone on last during a WWE Pay-Per-View. Continue reading “History and Doubt Equals Opportunity at Hell in a Cell” →

Goldberg Returns to Monday Night Raw

After months of speculation, Bill Goldberg returned to WWE, last night, on Monday Night Raw for the first time in over twelve years. He accepted Brock Lesnar’s challenge, with the expectation that Goldberg vs. Lesnar will eventually be made official for Survivor Series on November 20.

The crowd inside the Pepsi Center came unglued as they chanted “Holy sh*t” and “This is Awesome” before Goldberg said a word. The real emotion exhibited by Goldberg anchored the segment as he turned to his wife and son at ringside and said it was their first time seeing him live.
