RAW Fallout - Crown Jewel V (2023)

  How’s It Going, Enthusiasts? Did you get a chance to watch Crown Jewel? I thought it was fun. It was far more cohesive than previous shows and definitely felt less like an exhibition and more like a typical PLE/PPV, which I would call progress.  Most are saying that Drew McIntyre vs. Seth Rollins was the match of the night. I think Sami Zayn stealing the MITB Briefcase at the end was what I liked about it but, to be honest, I preferred the main event. All the buzz with LA Knight and Roman Reigns made it an enjoyable way to end the night and both gentlemen appeared to have fun with it, which is always nice to see.  I would say that any LA Knight fans should calm themselves and prepare for a showdown with Logan Paul. Taking the US Title off of him I think is a good start for Knight. Though Paul is holding his own out there, he’s playing a dorky heel and those are perfect pickings for the likes of Knight. No one would mind that Title change and Knight officially gets on the map. Everyo

Crown Jewel V - Matches of Interest

How’s It Going Enthusiasts?   It’s Crown Jewel V and it appears that everyone got there just fine. Let’s wish them safe travels back as well. So, I try to keep it simple nowadays. This event has gained more traction but it is still an exhibition, more or less. That said, here are my matches of interest.   I’ll start with the Ladies’ Fatal-5-Way. This is an interesting match because all these ladies have something to prove one way or another. Given the nature of things, Rhea Ripley retaining is the easy out. Yet, if I were to surprise, I would give it to Shayna Baszler. She’s gotten a raw deal in recent years and doesn’t really deserve it. She should be a valid contender even though she’s not the ideal “representative of the company”.   I like Zoey Stark but I feel she’s just too new. Raquel Rodriguez simply isn’t there yet and I’m not sure when that happens. There’s something not quite clicking. She has to embrace her persona, whoever that is, and that conundrum is holding

Happy Friday, Enthusiasts! Glad to see the end of the week. Not looking forward to Daylight Savings but preparing for it. Just hate how I have to get up earlier on weekends to make sure I get some sunlight. I never got why it was dark at 4:30pm. Yet in the summer, you have until like 7pm to play. I appreciate the extra hour but hate the lack of daytime. In any case, there are a few things to chat about. Nothing too earth shattering but something to bat around. Shall we? We’ll start in the Realm of AEW as it has been reported that Ric Flair’s deal with the company is a multi-year deal and apparently he’s cleared to take bumps but it’s unlikely that will actually happen. With Flair 74 going on a 110 years old, I could only think that him taking a bump would be akin to elder abuse. Reports state that he is ready and willing but not sure anyone else really is. We’ll see how this plays out. In the WWE Universe, Bianca Belair and Montez Ford have something to celebrate as they will have thei
