mitb 2018

Bryan/cass: thing is I can't say I ever bought into drama of bryan actually losing here but they did work a very respectable David vs Goliath style match that imo was for sure better than their backlash one (3 stars)

{Lashley/zayn was just a squash}

Rollins/elias: even if it wouldn't mean anything in the long run they did a good job having elias go toe to toe with rollins for a competeive match that was fun; rollins could have probally sold his injuries better though (3.25 stars)

Women's mitb: it didnt really seem to have the high spots or stuff like that one would want from a mitb match but most of the women already had build in chemistry and feuds so that helped elevate it somewhat (3.25 stars)

{Roman/jinder and askua/carmella were both bad and skippable}

Styles/nakamura:kinda strange they had such a long feud and that nakamura truly never got one over on styles but this feud closing match had the right amount of intensity and drama and violence and was probally their best match since mania imo (3.5 stars)

Rousey/jax: this had the right type of story but sadly it was just getting good when the bad ending happened (2 stars)

Men's mitb: solid storytelling with the braun angle and they had fun near grabs and spot while he was out (3.5 stars)

{a couple of truly bad matchesand a weaker than expected rousey match but made up for by good matches so has to go into good tier as a show}

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...
