New TNA President

Billy Corgan Named Impact Wrestling President

Yes you are reading this right, Billy Corgan has been named the President of Impact Wrestling while Dixie Carter will go back to the role that she had when she was partnered with Jeff Jarrett when she first came to Impact Wrestling back when it was NWA/TNA. People think that this is going to a dumb move because of the way that Impact Wrestling is going as of late.

Well I think it is a great move because The Final Deletion, and Decay are the best thing going on in Impact Wrestling, some are saying it wrong move because how they have Lashley booked as triple crown champion by holding the X-Division, King of the mountain, and World Championship right now, but I think it will mean more when Michael Bennett faces him at Bound for Glory for all three titles on the line.

With Dixie Carter not being an on screen talent, it will maybe help the company moving forward to focus on getting a new tv deal that is better than being on POP tv because the former TV guide channel is not really helping because not all cable and satellite providers have that channel so their ratings can improve from what they are right now on POP tv.

I believe Billy Corgan is going to piece to help change TNA/ Impact Wrestling for the better because with his vision of Decay it is doing better then the WWE is doing with the Wyatts and we know the last time TNA did something better WWE tried to recreate it for the wyatts against the new day.

CWC review

This week WWE CWC had a match of the year candidate between Kota Ibushi and Cedric Alexander. That match was so good that it had the fans chanting fight forever and Thank you after the match towards Alexander and Please Sign Cedric after the match as well which caused Triple H to shake Cedric hand and to give the fans an yeah and a thumbs up about signing Cedric to a contract with the WWE. That match is going to be on the list of Match of the year Contenders in PWI under the WWE banner because this is something that has never happened two non WWE signed talent get a five star match.

Tajiri vs Gran Metalik is another match of the year contender in my eyes because it reminds me of the old school days of Super Crazy vs Tajiri in the ECW days with the back and forth chain wrestling that they had in the match mixed with the lucha libre as well. This match was so blended well it is not even funny, I wonder what else is going to happen in the second round when you have people like Zack Sabre Jr, Lince Dorado, Rich Swann, Akira Towza, Tony Neese, The Brian Kendrick, and Jack Gallaher still left to show the world what else they have left in their tank in this tournament.

NXT recap

NXT started off with Robert Roode coming out of Mr. Regal office in a cut scene video, then the show started with the contract signing of Asuka and Bayley. Bayley showed a new side to her then we have normally seen from her in NXT where she is the lovable underdog.

First match of the night was The Authors of Pain vs Adrian Nailz and Rob Ryzin, this match was completely one sided where the Authors of Pain dished out the pain to Nailz and Ryzin. Then after the match TM61 came out to make the save only to get a beat down of their own with the Authors of Pain standing tall after all the match.

Andrade Cien Almas vs Angelo Dawkins in a match that only last two minutes which lead up to a segment with Robert Roode to set up a match for back to Brooklyn. Then Austin Aries was in regal office where he find out that he is going to be facing No Way Jose at Take Over Back to Brooklyn.

Liv Morgan tried to her best to defeat the long legged goddess Billie Kay as Billie Kay’s big boot got the victory.

Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa defeated Tucker Knight and Patrick Clark in a match that showed why they are the number one contenders to face the revival for the nxt tag team championships at NXT takeover Brooklyn. This match people wonder if they would should that they couldn’t work well together after their match at the CWC opening round.

Main Event Time: Samoa Joe defeated Mojo Rawley in a match that showed a new side to Mojo Rawley that NXT or Smackdown Live has yet to see when he faced Joe, he brought the fight to the champ and was able to man handle him for a while until Joe decided that playtime was over and called out Nakamura name and made Rawley pass out with his submission. After the match Nakamura came out and security came out to prevent them two from fighting but Nakamura used that as playtime to get under Joe’s head by grabbing his nose and slapping him. That how the show ends.

As of right now here is the card for Takeover Back To Brooklyn

The Revival © vs Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano for the NXT tag team championship

Asuka ©  vs Bayley for the NXT women's championship

Samoa Joe © vs Nakamura NXT world Championship

Smackdown Recap

Tuesday Night smackdown started with a ruckus between Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose and The Wyatts, which lead to a tag team match being made for the main event between the two teams. I am loving that they are using bray in the main title picture, but it is weird that no one is complaining like they did when reigns was put in wyatt's spot.

American Alpha won their tag team match against Local competitors, which was an mini lumberjack match you can say when you had all the tag teams that are on smackdown come out to watch their match to see if they can live up to what they said about being the best tag team on smackdown.

What is smackdown doing to Becky Lynch, first she is in a match that didn’t happen due to a wardrobe malfunction on Eva Marie, only to have another match where she loses against the birthday girl last night Alexa Bliss.

Randy Orton wins by Disqualification against Alberto Del Rio, Randy is getting ready to take on the beast at Summerslam so they are putting people in his way to see if he is rusty, but he is not rusty. Like he said it only takes one RKO to go to viperville.

Rhyno defeated Heath Slater to deny Heath an chance of being on the smackdown roster, this gimmick is the best thing going for Heath in the WWE since being in the Nexus, The Corre, 3MB, and Social Outcast.

Talk about an upset NXT darling Carmella defeated Natalya with her submission called Code of Silence, this match was supposed to have happened last week but Natalya attacked carmella instead which set up this week match. Its an upset because Natalya is a former women's champion, and she is a well known submission type wrestler, Carmella defeated her with a submission which is unlikely to see in a match against natalya unless you are Paige or Charlotte or Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks  who have submission moves

Kalisto was attacked by Baron corbin which is setting up something for summerslam in my opinion.

Main Event time you have Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose coming out victorious against the wyatt family. During the opening segment Dolph Super kicked Ambrose when he was going for Bray Wyatt. So is Dolph going to be a bad guy now we will have to wait and see.

Raw review

Chris Jericho vs Enzo Amore this match ended in a Disqualification which also lead to a challenge for summerslam by Enzo and Cass to Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho. This has potential to be a good match, this is a match that can show off Enzo mic skills against one of the best promo guys in Chris Jericho.

Braun Strowman vs a local talent in what wwe used to call Jobber Squash matches back in the early 90’s. They seem high on this talent because of his height, i would love for them to get mountain from game of thrones to see who is the better big man.

Darren Young vs Titus O’neil, really wwe this is going to be the feud for summerslam, really this is not money in my eyes, i would rather have prime time rebuild as being teached by Bob Backlund to become a better team.

Sheamus vs Cesaro, this match is a slobberknocker match, but sheamus loses via a roll up while yelling at the official. This could have been a different match for both of them if it lead to getting something like a future title shot, a little foreshadowing that Cesaro gets a US title shot on raw against Rusev.

Dudley Boyz vs Neville and Sin Cara, yes you are reading this right, Sin Cara goes from being the marty jannetty of the lucha dragons to being in another tag team with Neville against the dudley boyz, these guys picked up the victory which surprised me.

Kofi Kingston defeated Luke Gallows to set up the summerslam feud for the tag team titles, which is going to be interesting.

Sasha Banks defeated Dana Brooke, which sets up Dana to be banned during the rematch at summerslam vs Charlotte.

Rusev vs Cesaro, this match happened after daniel bryan stood up for cesaro saying he is underutilized on the raw roster, foley told daniel bryan to stay out of the situation, makes the title match. Rusev gets the victory against cesaro, now rusev is setting up to face reigns for the US title.

Smackdown Recap

#1 Contender Triple Threat: Kalisto vs. Baron Corbin vs. Apollo Crews

Why is Apollo Crews in contention for the IC championship, I think he still needs more polish despite being an independent wrestler for a couple of years now as Uhaa Nation. Just because Kalisto is a former US Champion, that doesn’t mean that you can hotshot him into the IC title division. He should be on Monday Night Raw with the cruiserweights in my opinion. Barron Corbin he is one that I actually think could use the rub of winning the IC title to bounce off his Andre the giant battle royal win at WrestleMania 32. I actually wished Bray was in this match, but you will find out where Bray will be later on. But Apollo Crews is the new number one contender for the IC championship.

Next on smack down was Eva Marie versus Becky Lynch. Ok it is rant time folks, People are getting pissed that WWE is having Eva Marie fake an injury to set up an angle on the show, it taken too far when people are actually wishing she is injured. Come on now people. Then we had Carmella being interviewed by Carmella on the Smack Talk set where she calls Eva Marie injury fake, and she refers to her as a Kardashian wannabe, Natalya came up upset about Carmella being interviewed instead of her and challenges her to a fight.

American Alpha made their smack down debut by defeating the vaudevillians. Natalya attacked Carmella pre-match, Randy Orton took on fandango defeated Fandango due to an attack by Brock Lesnar.

then Dolph Ziggler defeated Bray Wyatt to keep his contendership to the wwe championship.

WWE Report

Last night monday night raw was in the Dirty South which refers to Atlanta Georgia the home of WCW, and the Atlanta Braves, Thrashers, Falcons, and Hawks. Raw started off with a bang with the women’s champion Sasha Banks talking on the mic which lead to Charlotte and Jericho to interrupt her which lead to Enzo Amore to come to her aid which set up a mix tag team match between the two teams.

Enzo and Sasha came up on the losing end thanks to the cheap shot by Dana Brooke, Then after the match Big Cass came to the aid of Enzo and Sasha but was to late, but something that was interesting is that Kevin Owens was on commentary during this match, could we be seeing a program with Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho against Enzo and Cass.

The Shining Stars picked up a victory in a way that last week they were caused a lost which was Pokemon Go, They picked up a victory over the Golden Truth. Then you have the challengers for the WWE Universal Championship in the middle of the ring, Seth Rollins got the cheap heat by bashing the Atlanta Braves, then Finn Balor said that the only thing that Seth Rollins is going to be handed will be his ass at Summerslam.

United States Champion Rusev defeated Mark Henry in a US Championship Match, after the match Rusev talked about the summer games saying that they are rigged for Team USA to win all the gold, he said he superstar is deserving to get a shot at his United States Championship which lead to a surprise of Roman Reigns coming out to the ring to confront Rusev.

Braun Strowman defeated Evan Anderholm in a squash match, in another squash match was Nia Jax defeating Ariel Monroe.

Titus O’neil defeated Darren Young, which surprised me in a lot of ways because I thought Darren Young would have been the one to get the victory between the two prime time players. Now I think they are setting up a feud between the two now after the backstage segment which showed Darren Young taking a cheap shot while Titus was yelling at Bob Backlund.

Cesaro defeated Sheamus, these two can work, I would love for Cesaro to get a shot at the Universal Championship in the future, even though people said that Cesaro should be on smackdown.

Jinder Mahal made his return to WWE by defeating Heath Slater in a match to get a contract to be on the Raw roster.

The Main Event Match of the evening was Seth Rollins defeating Sami Zayn. Seth was trying to send a message to Finn Balor by defeating Sami Zayn.

The shocker of the night comes from Tuesday Night Smackdown’s Randy Orton invading Raw to hit the RKO on Brock.

rumors are going around now that Daniel Bryan has stated in a interview that the women of smackdown are going to have their own championship. now here is what i think SHOULD happen is that WWE should have a tournament to crown this champion with having Alexa Bliss and Carmella being the final two women left in the tournament to crown the first ever smackdown women's championship.

What is going to happen between Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler.

who is going to challenge The Miz for the IC Championship. An idea I have is for Bray Wyatt to challenge The Miz by mind controlling Maryse into giving him a championship shot. Could Randy Orton be inline for the IC championship since he did defeat The Miz last week on smackdown.
