royal rumble 2019

Askua/lynch: they told a very strong story with the hard hitting nature of this match and i enjoyed the strong chemistry and fire they showed if i had a minor complaint i dont think they did a super great job making one think that lynch would win here (4 stars)

{SD tag titles were skippable run of the mill tag forumla}

Rousey/sasha: another strong match from the women here with great chemistry and counter work but the same issues as the lynch match in that i never bought into banks winning fully (4 stars)

Women's rumble: was nice to see some fresh faces get a lil chance to show off vs natyala and i loved that natyala got to throw out morgan just like that; that ember moon save was a pretty cool moment;  nice to see namoi get some payback on rose and that rumble moment that nearly was and the way it was cut off by rose was well done;that hat comedy was well excuted  but also lame; that Kacy rumble spot may have been one of the best I've seen; that zega/hornswoggle spot was great comedy; Ripley got in some decent shine in her main roster debut; becky got a good pop probally best of anyone here;that moon/bliss battle on the ring apron was well done; getting to see 3 of the 4 horse women in thr final four of a rumble was cool; that lynch/flair final was very well done also; I'd say on the whole it was a pretty good rumble but not a classic though (3.25 stars)

Bryan/styles: it's hard for me to say it was a bad match as most of the match was really strong withawesome chemistry ans body part work but the thing that makes it weaker than tlc isn't the interference ending it's the dead crowd for 90% of it (3.25 stars)

Balor/lesnar: this had the usual issues that Lesnar matches have where they barely do anything to make you buy into his opponent winning {on balors near falls lesnar easily got his shoulder up before 3 every single time} and yet I can't deny the sprint aspect plus Lesnars selling made this a fairly fun match to watch (3 stars)

Men's rumble: the elias/jj comedy was a bad skit that went on way too long; cool to see gargano get his first elemantion in a royal rumble being mahal a former champ; kofi had another impressive save; this was a pretty weak rumble imo as it didn't have nearly the moments that you would want from a match like this and womens was better that year for sure (2.5 stars)

{Really the only weak spots were the tag titles and men's rumble though it was once again the women stealing the show with two great title matches from them and even with the weak spots it's still another rumble that goes into the 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...

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]
