Extreme rules 2010

{the opening video package did a good job getting one hyped up for the four big matches that this show has}

Gauntlet match: loved the setup for this match as miz just couldn’t keep his mouth shut lol (so successful and funny pivot from the street fight to this and show putting his hand over mizs mouth lol); but ultimately this was a case of the promo setting up the match being better than the match itself this was very much rushed and never got anytime to develop (dud)

Punk/rey: they had a great competeive match with all the drama one would want and considering this setup a tiebreaker at next show i was ok with punk winning here and they gave rey a good out to get that feud ending match; and this to me was way better than their wrestlemania match  (4.25 stars)

JTG/shad: its kinda crazy to think that this breakup and win would mean nothing to jtg and tbh the match was a nothing burger too short and no realy violence for any kind of payback jtg should have gotten if he was truly attacked so much (dud)

Swagger/orton: once again very simple setup for wwe here with orton making swaggers regin a nightmare since he won it and can orton turn that into a title win; i supoose story wise it made sense for orton to be in control as much as he was but it didnt make it entertaining and the way they booked it made it seem like swaggers win was more fluke than anything it is an important win yes but still (1 star)

Sheamus/HHH: nice spot where they sowed doubt about hhh and sheamus may have made a mistake questioning hhhs manhood;  this one of the better matches of this show to that point imo as it had hard hitting action and i loved the fight the game showed and i loved the story of shesmud outsmarting the game (3.75 stars)

Beth/mccool: boring and bad (dud)

Edge/jerchio: they told thr right story here with jerchio as the coward and edge getting his payback; i liked the angle where edge tried to injure jerchio for payback for all of jerchios attacks and of course they had the right amount of chemistry and intensity (4.5 stars)

Cena/batista: they had a greatest hits type of match but they work together very well and the spots were well done and i loved the creative ending with the duct tape (4 stars)



{this show is a 50/50 spilt between trash and good to great matches}

TLC 2020

Drew/miz/styles: I really can't say that miz added much to this but everything before he tried to cash in was strong with good violence and that leg work ans selling being strong also (3.5 stars) banks/carmella: I don't usually think of carmella matches as good but can honestly say this was her best match of this entire marathon that I've done as they really made me believe that she had a chance and her and banks worked amazingly well together (3.5 stars) newday/hurtbusiness: this was great fast paced action combined with amazing drama as these two teams work very well together (4 stars) Womens tag titles: pretty run of the mill forumla stuff but it seemed like a big deal when the titles changed hands and everyone enjoyed it so (2.75 stars) {roman/owens was skippable with the usual eyeroll worthy not only cant get win on his own cant even control a match on his own that would make alot of the 2020s unwatchable} Wyatt/orton: it was good for what it was with two evil beings t...

Extreme rules 2019

{opener was a skip} Usos/revival: a fun but run of the mill tag match between teams who did work quite well together (3 stars) Cesaro/black: this was a great hard hitting sprint with some awesome counter wrestling also (4 stars) {handicap matches are always a skip for me} Braun/lashley: while i do feel like braun could have sold his supposed injuries alot better and more consistently i cant deny this was a very fun battle of the beasts style match with the right anount of intensity and right winner (3.5 stars) Sd tag title 3 way: i honestly forgot new day won here thats cool in terms of the match it was all standard multi team affair but alot of fun moments throughout for sure (3.25 stars) Ricochet/styles:a hard match for me to grade as matches with interference like this one had usally automatically get lower scores or go into dud category but i cant really do that here because take away the prematch stuff and ending and this was some really strong workrate between the two (3 stars) J...

Survior series 2020

Mens elimination tag: I mean there were enough guys here who had chemistry with each other to make ita good match but at the same time the one sided nature of this match in terms of eliminations really limitshow highly I can think of this match (3 stars) Profits/newday: they just had an amazing competeive match with surpisngly awesome chemsitry for a first time meeting and it really put over the profits strongly (4.25 stars) {zayn/lashley was a squash} Banks/askua: they just had a simple competive back and forth with alot of amazing drama as I had no idea which way this would go (4 stars) {womens elimination tag was a skip} Roman/drew: the last clean roman match before his matches became unwatchable and what do you know it was great one as him and drew work so well together and they created alot of awesome drama (4.25 stars) [I have to put this show in the great tier as there was only in truly skippable match and 3 out of 4 of the most watchable ones hit the 4+ star for me]
