I’m a hardcore wrestling fan, by which I mean I’m a hardcore fan of wrestling... but I also have nothing against hardcore wrestling! I’ve been watching since 2006, back when I was 12 years old. In that time I’ve fervently followed WWE, TNA, ROH, Lucha Underground and others. Today I’m most passionate about NXT, New Japan and especially AEW! You could call me a modern wrestling savant but I know my old school stuff as well... I’ll be your huckleberry all night long.
WWE Monday Night Raw continues. MVP and Bobby Lashley are talking backstage when they’re approached by an interviewer and they’re furious at this as they were in the middle of a strategic meeting for their tag match against R-Truth – who they call a clown again – and Drew McIntyre. She tries to also ask about Lana’s involvement in Lashley’s loss the night before and they skirt by this with MVP merely saying he lost due to forces outside of their control. They will address that in a segment up next. And indeed out come MVP and Lashley to the…
WWE Monday Night Raw continues. Backstage we speak to Angel Garza about what happened last night at Backlash with Apollo Crews retaining his title over Andrade. Angel is asked if he feels he cost Andrade the title. Zelina says nobody cost anybody. Angel explains he was just trying to help Andrade, he knows he must be hurting but when you care dearly about something or someone, you have to be able to let it go. He can’t imagine the heartbreak but he knows he’ll get over the disappointment. He feels for Andrade but we feel for Kevin Owens. Zelina says…
WWE Monday Night Raw commences. Randy Orton emerges to open the show. As he comes out the commentators discuss Edge’s triceps tear and we get a grizzly image of his surgery. Orton gets the mic and says last night at Backlash he did exactly what he planned on doing. He defeated Edge, humiliated him, wrote the final chapter of his story and he gave him closure. He knew in January when he saw Edge make his compelling return to the ring at the Royal Rumble, he knew that he’d never be the competitor he was back in the day. Says…
Another edition of Monday Night Raw is tonight and below you’ll be able to see all the results from the show as they come, plus links to in-depth recaps. Watch this space! Segment 1: To open up the show, Randy Orton came out to gloat about defeating Edge in the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever, thereby making himself the Greatest Wrestler Ever. This led to Christian coming out to confront him on behalf of Edge and promise that Edge would return. This took a turn when Randy Orton accused Christian of wanting One More Match… and he challenged him to an Unsanctioned…
WWE Backlash 2020 continues and now it’s just the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever left. We’re told in advance that since it’s unfair that Edge and Randy Orton’s match isn’t in front of tens of thousands of people, they’re going to be ‘enhancing the experience’ with unique camera angles and amplified audio. In other words some sweetening on that crowd noise. I don’t have a problem with that. After their entrance it gets a super dramatic introduction with a flash of the MSG sign from the original WrestleMania I think, and we hear long pre-recorded lines from Howard Finkel introducing Edge…
The Street Profits & Viking Raiders Engage In Cinematic Brawl | WWE Backlash 2020 Results
WWE Backlash 2020 continues. The Street Profits and Viking Raiders are actually in a parking lot brawl for some reason! They end up fighting onto Braun’s car and smashing the windshield yet again. Angelo and Montez grab some golf clubs to swing but Erik and Ivar have shields – and Erik has an axe! Ivar… has a bowling ball. Profits want none of this and turn tail and run but eventually they turn around and do face them? Montez yells this has gone crazy. Says they should put them down and fight like men. Slowly drop their weapons at the…
WWE Backlash 2020 continues. AJ Styles backstage is being interviewed about his recent WWE Intercontinental Championship victory. He says he deserves a night off after what he did but he’s going to put on a championship celebration for the ages this Friday on SmackDown. He also insults Daniel Bryan and says he’s just not Phenomenal. But now, we have Bobby Lashley on the way out to face Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship! But just before the bell, Lashley attacks McIntyre from behind and has the Full Nelson cinched in! It’s in deep! The official demands several more referees come…
WWE Backlash 2020 continues. Braun Strowman’s handicap match Universal title defense is up next as he takes on the Miz and John Morrison. The heels come out first and have mics. Miz says before they become champions, he needs a little something more to pump him up. Morrison says they should share something a little extra special with everyone here and everyone watching at home… the PPV debut of their hit single “HEY! Hey Hey”. It seems to actually be playing this week and it’s in a very bad faux VHS quality. It’s of course a song based around how…
WWE Backlash 2020 continues. The Miz and John Morrison are told backstage that if they win, the one who pins Braun Strowman will become the new Universal Champion, this in spite of them wanting to work as co-champs. This pretty much tells you the two of them will have tension as they have to figure out which of them gets the pin. Fortunately I doubt that’s going to end up being much of a big deal here… also Otis and Mandy Rose remind them of the nasty things they said about Otis and let them know that even if they…
WWE Backlash 2020 continues. It is now time for Jeff Hardy to take on Sheamus, the culmination of a feud that includes a framed drunk driving accident, drug tests and a faceful of urine. And man is the vignette for it, for lack of a better word, gold. Jeff Hardy vs. Sheamus “You Got Pissed On” chant to start, Sheamus with a side headlock takedown, trying to grind him against the mat. They scramble up, trying to make this chain wrestling look bitter and angry it’s funny. Jeff takes over the headlock, Sheamus drives him into the corner, battering body…
