Royal rumble 2018

{handicap matches are always a skip for me}

Usos vs shelton/gable: the in ring work was largely good however there was a clear lack of drama that the usos were ever in any danger of losing the titles so that knocks it down from a 3 star match to a 2 star one for me (2 stars)

Mens rumble: the power battle with balors speed to open the rumble was fun; another fun moment with the kofi pancake save; that fun moment with the legends vs furture to close the rumble was very well done and probally one of the best parts; it's hard to have a bad rumble and this wasn't but I can go any higher than good because large parts of it were either very unmemorable or boring (3 stars)

{raw tag titles were also a skip}

Lesnar/kane/braun:just a very fun battle of the monsters with cool spots  (3.5 stars)

Womens rumble (#1): love seeing banks/lynch as the first participants in this historic match; that pop for Lita was well deserved and I'm happy she got it (cool seeing her get first elemantion); the jax mass elemations was well done ans nice kofi moment from naomi; the stuff with Beth vs jax and Beth vs Natyala was well done; getting to see mickie/trish go at it in a rumble was cool; maybe it was just because it was so history making but I thought this was great with the legends getting their stuff in and cool interactions with current and future stars (4 stars)

{Both rumbles delivered although the first women's one was the better of the two and I enjoyed the monster brawl for uv title also enough to put it into good tier}

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...

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]
