My Fastlane Predictions

Fastlane has not had a good first two years of existence. Both the 2015 and 2016 versions have been two of my least favorite events of the year. There does seem to be some potential in this card, so let's get down to it.






Pre-Show- Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa vs The Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar

My Prediction: Heels win

Man, there really is no incentive to watch these pre-show matches.


 Sami Zayn vs Samoa Joe

My Prediction: Samoa Joe kills a man

Samoa Joe is one of those rare guys that is so much better on the main roster than in NXT. Raw has absolutely nailed his character, and he has quickly become one of the biggest names on the flagship show.


Sasha Banks vs Nia Jax

My Prediction: The Boss is broken

It currently looks as if Raw is building towards a fatal four-way at WrestleMania. If so, Nia needs to continue to be built as a legit star, sorry Sasha.
Raw Tag Team Title Match- Gallows and Anderson vs Enzo and Big Cass

My Prediction: The Club ain't sawft

My only disappointment in this match is that Cesaro and Sheamus aren't involved. Love those guys.
Cruiserweight Title Match- Neville vs Jack Gallagher

My Prediction: Bow to the King

Neville's heel work has been excellent, and has created legitimate buzz for this match. I imagine he could have a long run in him, similar to his NXT days.


Roman Reigns vs Braun Strowman

My Prediction: BRAUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

This is what I'm referring to as the "real main event", as this is the match on the card I'm most excited for. They've built this encounter very well, and I'm quite sad it isn't a Mania match. That said, this will likely set up another match I'm quite excited for, as the Deadman interferes to cost the Big Dog.


 Raw Women's Title Match- Bayley vs Charlotte Flair

My Prediction: C'mon, let's be serious here

Yeah, Charlotte's pay-per-view streak is not ending at Fastlane. I would be interested to see a finish that kept the belt on Bayley, perhaps a run-in from Sasha for a Charlotte DQ win.
Universal Title Match- Kevin Owens vs Goldberg

My Prediction: Big Kev and Charlotte should be in a tag team

Kevin Owens' run as Universal champ is the exact definition of how not to book a champion. Raw's main event scene has been bogged down with terrible, repetitive matches, seriously bad comedy and overall pointlessness. Finally, we've got a challenger with some actual intrigue, and a nice story to tell. But I've been down this road too many times by now. I would love to see either Goldberg or Brock with the belt, because of the possibilities it would open up(Brock vs Balor, anyone?), but it ain't happening. Heels win at pay-per-views; that's just a fact of life.


I would love to be invested in this show, but if KO is still champ at the end of the night, I can't see it happening. Still, I'll stick around; I always do.

With Fastlane just under two weeks away, we have a big night in store here on Raw. Sasha Banks looks to earn another title shot, the tag champs are in non-title action and in the main event, for the first time since winning the Royal Rumble, Samoa Joe is in action when he faces Mark Henry. Universe Mode Monday Night Raw February 20th, 2017 Location: Anchorage, AK Itami and Balor vs #DIY The tag champs were in action to open Raw, and their opponents were the debuting Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, #DIY.

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
