SummerSlam 2016 Results While writing this article, I can’t help but be ecstatic about the biggest show of the summer, and yet, I’m concerned that SummerSlam (for the second year in a row) may be topped by the NXT Takeover. Only running for two hours instead of three, and having a superior announce team certainly helps, but the one issue I have had is that the championships on SmackDown have not felt as important as those on Raw. How would Raw fare on this outing?īacklash 2016 Recap I will say right off the bat that I have been enjoying SmackDown Live much more than Raw since the brand split. There seems to be the recurring issue of Raw having intelligent booking, but horribly scripted storylines and promos, whereas SmackDown has had pretty good promos and storylines, but booking that is worthy of scratching one’s head (especially with the Women’s and Tag Team divisions). They are coming off the heels of a pretty solid, if not memorable, SmackDown Live event, Backlash. WWE Clash of Champions 2016 Review This Raw exclusive pay-per-view event is being broadcast from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. While SmackDown’s last exclusive pay-per-view (Backlash) was solid if not amazing, we would see if the blue team would step their game up for their October event. No Mercy 2016 Review No Mercy comes live from the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA. WWE went to a lot of trouble to book some rare main events for this year’s SS. While the first three have always been the marquee attraction that season, Survivor Series has not felt like a major event in several years. This refers to the four most important pay-per-view events each year the Royal Rumble near the beginning of the year, WrestleMania in the spring, SummerSlam in mid-August and Survivor Series right around Thanksgiving. Survivor Series 2016 Recap There is a term in WWE known as the “Big Four”. Would I regret this decision by the end of the night? However, I always will tend to give the Royal Rumble a pass, due to the unique nature of the match. Add to that a two hour pre-show and it’s all of the ingredients necessary to make one want to just change the channel. The four hour run time is much more than most of the audience can bear. Royal Rumble 2017 Recap WWE’s pay-per-view events are becoming more and more of a chore to watch. Did this pay-per-view event assuage my fears, or reinforce them? There are maybe two matches that I truly feel that creative has done a good job of building towards. WrestleMania XXXIII Recap World Wrestling Entertainment has dubbed this year’s WrestleMania as the “ultimate thrill ride.” Unfortunately, I have not been thrilled with most of the build up to their biggest show if the year. If you’re into the indie-wrestling circuit, or the glitz and glamor of “sports entertainment”, we’ve got you covered. A forum dedicated to news and op-eds about the world of professional wrestling.
