Goatman Reviews Wrestling

^^ the last few years of wcw make me sad, watching them destroying them selves over and over, it's not that people there didn't have a clue how to book the show its that they had no chance to sort it out as Horan and the Bish had such control over everything yet didn't have a clue what to do , so just pushed Hogan mates, it's why all the good young talent was leaving as they didn't get a chance,
The tag match is a perfect example of what's wrong with there booking ideas they thought they had to do something controversial every week to get people talking and watching but all it did was piss people off and send them to wwf

Even when bischoff was gone they couldnt book properly then they brought in russo who tried to push young talent but he walked into hogan,savage,flair,goldberg,luger,sting and none of them would let him work sure he did some dumb shit admittedly but at least he pushed younger people like booker T, kidman, kanyon,buff etc.. that was just what happens when there is no leader at the top like a vince mcmahon as the saying goes in wcw the inmates was running the asylum

Show Rating 8/10

Should say I enjoyed this, at least I was familiar with it. Seems an awful long time ago now though

WWE Royal Rumble 2004
The forgotten rumble.....

Opening Match
Tables Match for the World Tag Team Championship The Dudleyz vs Ric Flair and Batista:
A short and kinda of pointless match only went 4 minutes...

Flair & Batista win
3/10


WWE Cruiserweight Championship Jamie Noble vs Rey Mysterio:
Another really short match but at least it was entertaining while it lasted

Mysterio wins
4/10

Up Next
Eddie Guerrero vs Chavo Guerrero:
This match had a ton of build up over the course of almost 3 months but was only given 8 minutes

Eddie wins with a frog splash
6/10

WWE Championship Brock Lesnar vs Hardcore Holly:
The idea if this match was good but the match itself was a bit unbelievable really and again really short.

Brock wins with an F5
5/10

Last Man Standing for the World Heavyweight Championship Shawn Michaels vs Triple H:
This match lasted longer that all the other matches combined... it was a good match but went to a draw

Match ended in a draw
6/10

30 Man Royal Rumble Match:
For me the best rumble ever, This match had so many storylines going on in it from benoit overcoming the odds to continuing the undertake/kane storyline to setting up Goldberg vs lesnar. The ending was great too

Benoit wins
9/10

Overall
This show was saved by the forgotten rumble if you haven't watched it go do so

Show Rating 6.5/10

People slag off ropey challengers these days, but the short saga of Lesnar v H/C Holly shows things were always ropey...

WWE Royal Rumble 2021

We open with a great build up video package

First Match
WWE Championship Match Drew Mclntyre vs Goldberg:
I was worried goldberg was injured at first when he came out wearing shorts and was kinda limping but thankfully he was fine and mixed it up a bit at the beginning with drew hitting a spear first lol for what it was it was a great start to the show and really the way it ended it should be goldbergs farewell match i think that would be a great way to go out putting drew over.... but he is signed for an other 2 years

Drew wins
6.5/10

Up next
WWE SD Women's Title Match Sasha Banks vs Carmella:
This match would have been 10x better if it was a bra & panties match but it was okay the finish was a bit flat.

Banks wins
5/10

30 Women Royal Rumble Match:
I did not like this match it was very sloppy and mistimed...
My observations from the match
Ember moon has really put some weight on
Belair and ripley look like stars
Lana was on an other level of beauty
Completely made alexa look stupid
Natalia being number 30 killed any excitement seriously why is she still there
Mandy rose has gone from being a future star with otis to basically nothing...
Toni storms arse is fabulous
The women going over the top rope looks so stupid

Bianca belair wins
4/10

Last Man Standing WWE Universal Title Match Roman Reigns vs Kevin Owens:
Seen it all before, very by the numbers match it should have been Nakamura, owens is not a main event player and the botch at the end and crap finish sums this match up pointless and stale

Reigns won
4/10

Main Event Time

30 Man Royal Rumble Match:
This is how you do a rumble Edge and orton start and brawl (orton healed his face burns really quickly )
Good surprises like hulk carlito and christian, still can't work out what the point was of building up nakamura if he is still in the same jobber spot
They did the old and boring injury angle with orton only to have him come back at the end but i enjoyed this match

Edge wins
8/10

Overall
Like most wwe shows now it was filled with the good the bad and the ugly
Started good, finished great, the middle wasn't the best

Show rating
6/10

WWF Wrestlemania 12

Opening Match
A 6 man tag team match: Vader, Owen Hart & British Bulldog Vs Yokozuna, Ahmed Johnson & Jake Roberts:
This was a decent match to start the show, this match was all about building up vader who was inline for a main event run ( Which hbk ended ) the stip for the match was if yoko's team won they would get jim cornette in the ring alone for 5 minutes but that didnt happen....

Vader's team won
Match Rating 5.5/10

Hollywood Backlot Brawl
Goldust vs Roddy Piper:
This match was entertaining and ran through the whole show with wwe using footage from the o.j simpsons car chase this part of the match was actually quite brutal at one point piper punched goldy really hard it made a crack noise piper also cut his hand at somepoint, This match continues later.

Up next
Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs Savio Vega:
Austin's character at this point wasn't the stone cold we all know, this was transitional stage for him he still had the million dollar belt which he uses here its actually a good match best so far on the show.
Austn wins with the million dollar dream
Match Rating 6/10

Ultimate Warrior Vs Hunter Hurst Helmsley:
Warrior didn't even take his jacket off
Warrior Wins
Match Rating 3/10

Diesel Vs The Undertaker:
ive always liked this match. People say nash was a bad wrestler but i think he was highly underrated, this was diesel 2nd from last ppv match before he would join wcw in june, The match itself was great i think that this point taker was the only person to get up from the powerbomb
Undertaker Wins with a tombstone
Match Rating 7/10

Hollywood Backlot Brawl Part 2
Goldy returns to the arena with piper giving chase, they brawl around ringside for a bit when they get in the ring goldy kisses piper with piper doesn't enjoy and starts a whooping on goldust for gaying him up... piper spanks him, strips him and kisses him and knees him in the balls
Piper Wins I guess...
Match Rating errmm i don't really know

Main Event Time
WWF Championship 60 Minute Ironman Match
Bret Hart Vs Shawn Michaels:
The most overrated match in the history of wwf/E, Lots of rest holds in this one it was so dull half the arena had left before the match finished.
Now the match itself was crisp and everything looked great but the problem was it never got going, shawns entrance was the most exciting thing in this match and the joke of the matter was it went to over time
Shawn Michaels wins in over time 1:0
Match Rating 5/10

Overall.
The show had its moments but this is one of the worst wrestlemania's ever i actually think mania 9 was more entertaining than this one

Show Rating
5/10

^^ two things from that
the main event is the perfect example of how the politics in wrestling can mess a match up as never man would agree to a loss in the 60mins and both wouldn't work proper with each other,
and how did Vader never become huge in wwe he was a main eventer who was a mega star in japan making millions

Shawn killed vaders push go watch the main event of summerslam shawn was acting like a tit... also i think he got in some trouble in saudi and wwe left him there lol

Ive never heard about any issues between bret and shawn before this match i thought the problems started at the end of the match when shawn told bret to get out of the ring ?

Aew Dynamite 10/2/21

AEW TNT Title Match Darby Allin Vs Joey Janela:
So much for the dumb ranking system why joey was getting a title match made no sense but the match itself was decent i counted only 3 dives

Darby wins
Match Rating 6/10

Backstage mjf and sammy was in the dumbest segment ever

Up next

Cody Rhodes & Jim Johnson Vs Peter Avalon & a tall awkward guy:
This was something i guess... was this the tall guys first match ? because he was awkward as fuck and it seemed injured cody's shoulder at one point... jim johnson is just another flipper, this was a bad match and 3 of these guys shouldn't be on tv

Cody & Jim win
Match Rating 3/10

After the match sammy quit the inner circle...

Match Rating 5.5/10

Jungle boy interview was decent

Main Event

The Kens Win
Match Rating 6/10

This show has to many matches on it... and far to much backstage bullshit.
