WWE Monday Night Raw Rundown/Review

It just dawned on me that I never did my Smackdown Rundown... and I am so upset. Let's just say it was a busy and full weekend for me. Regardless, this week for wrestling is going to be HUGE.. so bare with me, as it will be ALOT! I think I will have a blog every single day from Saturday-Tuesday... I might even have two in one day. Saturday is TWO PPVs.. in Wrestlepalooza and AEW All Out.... I WILL be watching AEW first and LIVE so you can expect the tweets. I am unsure about watching Wrestlepalooza in real time due to AEW but I will be tweeting as best as possible when I do watch it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking off: John Cena We had a pretty dang good promo with Cena and talking about Brock... A good bit of this confused me.. seeing that Brock has only been on Smackdown and not Raw leading up to their match on Saturday. I wish there was a little more. With this.. this makes me believe the match itself isn't going to end clean and will m...

Remember Windham (1 Year Later)

I can't believe I am even posting this, one year later. It doesn't feel real. 

I remember this time last year, I was waiting on dinner to finish cooking when I saw some tweets regarding Windham and wasn't sure what was happening. I thought at first glance it had something to do with Barry Windham.. he had previously had some health conditions, so my thought went to that. It wasn't until Triple H's tweet popped up and it was announced that Windham had passed. I RAN to my husband and told him in complete disbelief . We were both completely in shock. This is one passing that made me sob. It just didn't and still doesn't feel like it should be happening. 

In the last year.. we've seen some beautiful tributes. People from around the world have come together to celebrate the life of Windham and all he had done in the wrestling world as Bray Wyatt. 

My heart goes out to JoJo, his 4 beautiful children, and the entire Rotunda family. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the start of the year we saw the documentary for Windham. Being two hours long, I wasn't sure what all was going to be said/shown in his life. It took a couple of days after it came out, but my husband and I sat down at watched. What a beautiful documentary.. it showed his entire WWE career up to after the Royal Rumble of 2023. It was very interesting to see and hear his family and friends talk about everything that Windham did and to get a little sight into his personal life. What broke me completely is when Taylor started to talk about the day of Windham's passing. I had made it until when JoJo started to cry.. then the tears started flowing. Overall, it was beautiful. From start to finish. The ending took me by surprise, as we saw Uncle Howdy appear letting us know that he will be returning sooner than later. I can honestly say that I was shocked 

Since then Taylor has stepped up and started his journey of his own Uncle Howdy run.. and honoring the life and legacy of Windham/Bray. It started as before with the pre show lights and music. This led to QR codes and puzzles. After a couple of months, we got the most beautiful return and debut of The Wyatt Sicks. 

Taylor had done such a wonderful and beautiful job thus far. His mind is just a amazing as Windham and I know he has learned so much from him in his 34 years of life. 

On Monday Aug 26th we will see Uncle Howdy make his in-ring debut, and Taylor will return to the ring after almost 5 years... just days after Windham's one year anniversary of passing. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wish so deeply that I had the beautiful words that Windham would have at a time like this. I didn't know Windham nor his family personally, but it is like losing a friend. I wasn't blessed in this life to see Windham in person at a wrestling show.. but it was his presents on television that blew me away. His professionalism, his creativity, his passion. Windham inspired me to write again, to paint again.. and for that I am forever grateful/thankful.

Moving forward, Windham was a one of a kind. A once in a lifetime type of human being. He will be remembered for all he inspired, and everything that he has done in his 36 years of life. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you Windham. For everything. You'll always have a special place in my heart. 


xoxo,

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Rundown/Review

It's the Smackdown after Summer Slam.. and boy do we have a rundown for you. I don't know all what I expected from this, but it was a ride.. let me tell you.  **ALSO.. MAJOR THANK YOU to my 1,000 followers on Twitter! I made a post talking about how I really wanted to get 1k before the end of the month and y'all SHOWED OUT in a big way! It's so nice to have everyone, and I hope we can have a blast together!  Let's get into it! -Kicking off Smackdown: John Cena I really enjoyed this overall, but what I didn't like... was Logan Paul coming out. This wasn't on my "I want this match" list.. but it is what it is, I guess. It looks like we are getting the two at Clash in Paris later on in the month. We did see Drew McIntyre and Cody come into play, and the fact we are also getting a tag match later in the night.  -Motor City Machine Guns vs. JC Mateo and Talla Tonga Not happy. Solo made it clear that MFT was coming after the tag titles, which... we know ...

WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix Rundown Blog

What a Monday Night Raw on Netflix before Money in the Bank on Saturday! This one had it's ups and downs, but.. we got through it. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it! -Kicking Off: CM PUNK We saw a little promo talking about Money in the Bank.. seeing that his triple threat was the main event. It wasn't long until we saw Sami come out as well.. planting little seeds here and there for what could happen during said match.  -Women's Money in the Bank Qualifier: Stephanie Vaquer vs. Ivy Nile vs. Liv Morgan I enjoyed this match very much, and of course it was nice to see Stephanie Vaquer join the main roster. Sadly, we knew the out come before the match even started. It was kind of obvious Ivy wouldn't be moving forward (even tho it would be nice to see her in such a match), but it was a toss up. While it COULD have been interesting if Liv was involved.. it was actually Stephanie that picked up the win. Looks like someone will be booking double duty...

Summer Slam Night 1 AND Night 2 Results/Reaction/Review

Summer Slam has come and gone.. and BOY... did we have one hell of a time. We've got a lot to talk about, so let's get into it!  Night 1: -Roman Reigns and Jey Uso vs. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed This kicking off was pretty good in my opinion. While I do think the match wasn't one to blow your mind... it was still pretty dang good overall. In the end, we did see Roman and Jey pick up the win. This isn't what I thought would happen, but it is understandable moving forward (esp after watching Monday Night Raw). -Judgment Day (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair -Women's Tag Titles This match was pretty solid over all. All women did wonderful together and I enjoyed it! I feel like this match had so much on it in the first place, and there were so many people getting their hopes up for a Liv pop up. Sadly, that did not happen. We however.. did see Alexa and Charlotte pick up the win to win the tag titles! I am so happy for both women and hope they do this story ri...
