Hell in a Cell by Zac VanderLey The PPV reviews that I do will be match by match ratings and an eventual rating of the entire PPV. Each match will be graded on the quality of moves, physicality, whether it was back and forth, exciting and if the ending was strong and satisfying. Each category will get a number grade and all of the numbers will be added up and divided to create the final show rating. Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton: Moves: 9.3. Randy Orton landed a superplex, powerslam and used many foreign objects. Hardy landed a whisper in the wind and a swanton bomb on the chair. They pulled out all of the stops and executed every move. Every one would have loved to see an RKO when Hardy fell from the top of the cage, but overall the moves were well executed and interesting. Physicality: 10, There are not many matches that are more physical than a Cell match. Hardy's belt was used, a screwdriver was placed in Hardy's ear and Hardy even ...

Monday Night "Revenge" by Zac VanderLey (Thunder Z) This Monday Night Raw had more matches than last week but was not on the same level as last week's show. There were less surprises and more PPV rivalry filler. It was still an entertaining show that showcased revenge at its finest. Braun Stroman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew Mcintyre kicked off Raw yet again by walking down to the ring accompanied by the same heel superstars that had dismantled the Shield last week. Strowman talked about how last week they beat up the Shield and how Mcintyre's imagery of bloody animal carcasses played itself out when the Shield were decimated. Ziggler explained how the heel superstars around them made the right choice in their allegiance. Ziggler also alluded to the fact that all the superstars were fed up with the Shield. Strowman then finally gave a name to his group, calling them the Dogs of War. Then came the Shield. This was not surprising, but the...
Smackdown "Less Than" Lively by Zac Vanderley (Thunder Z) Smackdown live has not lived up to the expectations put in place by its brother Raw. Although in reality it is not fair to compare the two, it still happens. This Smackdown live showed more action of R-Truth than many other superstars and was filled with rivalry fillers. A Smackdown that was way "less than lively," one might put it. Smackdown kicked off the show with Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella "yessing" their way to the ring, to the delight of all the fans in the building. It gave the WWE Universe to partake in their favorite pastime, stupid hand motions and even more obnoxious chants. Bryan even made an embarrassing comment about how, Renee Young showing footage of the Miz beating Bryan up, ruined the chants he was receiving. The sole interesting part of this bit was the footage of Miz and Maryse arriving before the show began and calling Bryan and Bella out. Naturally...
Monday Night Chaos Analysis written by Zac Vanderley (Thunder Z) The word "chaos" was used by commentator Michael Cole in describing parts of Monday Night Raw's most recent episode. The show was packed with many surprises, twists and turns, and left many fans disheartened at the conclusion. Who knew that an episode of wrestling could be so entertaining with so few wrestling matches and hardly a pay per view worthy match to boot. We as fans have started to become spoiled by the quality of these weekly shows compared to twenty years ago, but that makes it more interesting to watch and especially analyze. Raw was kicked off by the newest pack in the yard trotting out to the ring and claiming their dominance. I will now refer to them as The Monster Pack. It seems appropriate. Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler joined forces with Braun Stroman last week in beating up the shield and nothing changed at the start of Raw. Stroman furthered his he...
