Elimination Chamber 2018 Recap

There are a lot of things I can say about Elimination Chamber 2018, many of which will be well covered by the time we're finished here today. So I'll just say this: you do realize Elimination Chamber is essentially a toilet reference, right? And we're off to a strong start. Elimination Chamber 2017 Score: 7/10 - Both Chamber matches seemed very predictable coming in, and surprise, surprise, they both went about the way you could've expected, to varying results. I really enjoyed the women's Chamber match, perhaps even more than the women's Rumble last month. They did a really good job booking the match, with the three different pairs and how they would interact, adding some extra intrigue. Overall, this was nothing ground-breaking, just a solid, enjoyable match. Say what you will about Alexa Bliss and her in-ring talent, but on the mic, she's genuinely one of the best in the company. As to what Raw's women's division has in store next, I

The Revolution: Episode 7(Taking Flight)

This promises to be a top class episode of The Revolution, as we have two incredible matches scheduled to close out the quarter-finals. Up first, Hideo Itami looks to bring his vicious strikes to an uphill battle against Samoa Joe. In our main event, two of the most exciting wrestlers in the world look to dazzle the Full Sail crowd, as Seth Rollins faces Neville. Hideo Itami vs Samoa Joe- NXT Championship Tournament Quarter-Finals Match From the start, you could tell that Samoa Joe was on a different level to Hideo Itami. Joe asserted his dominance with forearms and kicks, tossing Hideo around the ring with a few powerbombs as well. What was Hideo going to have to do to keep in it? He tried to roll out of the ring, to escape the punishment and re-group, Joe followed him out with a perfect suicide plancha. On the outside of the ring, Itami finally got his opening, knocking Joe silly with a spinning roundhouse kick. This was his chance, and the "Japanese Sensation" too

The Revolution: Episode 6(Strong Style)

On this episode of The Revolution, the quarter-finals of the NXT Championship Tournament begin. Roman Reigns and Cesaro meet in an eagerly anticipated contest, while AJ Styles battles Roderick Strong in our main event. Roman Reigns vs Cesaro- NXT Championship Tournament Quarter-Finals Match An early test of strength between these two men proved nothing, as both are among the most powerful NXT has to offer. Instead, they worked a very physical, hard-hitting match, taking lumps out of each other the whole way. Cesaro showed a more desperate approach, as without Sheamus by his side, he seemed very concerned he wouldn't be able to get the job done. He went for covers after every big move, not getting too much in the way of counts, although he did get a close near fall off of an impressive trio of gutwrench suplexes. Roman Reigns was more patient, conserving his energy and waiting for his opportunity. He was able to connect with his slick sit-out cruicifix powerbomb, and the ch

The Revolution: Episode 5(Quarter-Finals Preview)

Hello, my name is Henry Keys, and I am here today to preview and breakdown the quarter-finals of the NXT Championship Tournament. If you would like to see these matches in the form of an image, the link is here . Enjoy! "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs "Mr. NXT" Roderick Strong The opening contest of the quarter finals pits two of the best athletes in the world today against each other, as AJ Styles faces Roderick Strong. Styles narrowly avoided a major upset in Round 1, just able to eliminate Chad Gable with the Phenomenal Forearm. Meanwhile, Strong had a war with the technician Tyson Kidd that lasted a lot longer than it should've, as Roderick wanted to end the match with the End of Heartache. A mistake like that likely won't serve him well against AJ, a man who has the experience to capitalize on any advantage. Both the fans and the oddsmakers favor AJ to advance, though the gap is not as huge for him as the first round. Favorite: AJ Styles &q

The Revolution: Episode 4(Blackout)

The first round of the NXT Championship Tournament concludes tonight, as four men battle for the final two spots in the quarter-finals. Up first, the self-professed "King of the Cruiserweights" Neville goes head to head with the vain "Perfect Ten" Tye Dillinger. And in our main event, "The Knockout Artist" Kassius Ohno attempts to shut down tournament favorite Seth Rollins. Tye Dillinger vs Neville- NXT Championship Tournament First Round Match An early superkick scored a near fall for Neville, who was in control for the first few minutes. It would take a while for Tye to get into the match, but when he did, he was very impressive, getting quite a few close near falls. The Perfect Ten facebreaker earned Dillinger another near fall, as Neville seemed to perhaps be on the ropes. He signaled for the Tye Breaker, but was countered into a crucifix hold which was followed up with another devastating superkick. A dazed Tye stumbled backwards right into t
