TLC 2014 Predictions

Yes, I know the PPV is already over, but I have no idea what happened, so these predictions are totally legitimate, I promise. Now, to get to the PPV. TLC is the last PPV of the calendar year and the last PPV before the road to WrestleMania starts up again. As a result, this is where a lot of rivalries are tied up before the 'Mania and pre-Mania feuds begin. For example, TLC 2012 saw the closing of the Big Show/ Sheamus rivalry and led to the Show/ Alberto Del Rio feud. This year, some feuds will end while others will continue. Not only will I make predictions, I will try and identify which feuds will continue. Let's get started. The New Day vs. Gold & Stardust- This tag match is scheduled for the Kickoff show. It will feature Kofi Kingston and Big E taking on Goldust and Stardust. The New Day has already lost (talk about poor booking), but there's no way they're losing at TLC. They need the win to be taken seriously, which they might not be in a few months. Winn...

Raw Review: 12/8/14

The most recent episode of WWE Raw was the Slammy Awards special. Though the awards carry very little prestige and have almost no weight with the IWC, it's still fun to look back at the entire year and highlight the best of the best. In this recap, we're not going to look at the Slammy Awards themselves, but rather the rest of Raw. The Slammys don't really serve any purpose going forward so we're just going to skip right past them. One guy who did good work all night long: Seth Rollins. He had a good match with Dolph Ziggler and did some great mic work and talking. When he was with The Shield he was a good talker, but was always overshadowed by Dean Ambrose. In recent months, Rollins has really come into his own as a talker, only helping the case that he deserves to be a top star. Also, we need to see a real feud with Rollins and Ziggler. They have great chemistry and are both among the best workers in the WWE. Give them a Falls Count Anywhere match next year at Extr...

Stars of the Night: Survivor Series 2014

Last week, Survivor Series , the annual WWE Big Four pay-per-view that takes place in the fall, happened. It was good. It was really good. Survivor Series  may be one of the best pay-per-views of the year. The main event match (which was over 40 minutes long) was one of the best matches of the year and proved that the modern WWE Universe can appreciate longer matches. The rest of the card was pretty good. The Ambrose/Wyatt match was great, the tag title match was one of the best tag matches of the year, the Divas elimination match was pretty good (though a little long), and we had  a new Divas Champion. The event has drawn criticism for being too focused on the main event, but it all worked out in the end, Let's check out the biggest stars of Survivor Series . Before we get to the actual list, two honorable mentions: Tyson Kidd and Fandango. Kidd didn't have a match, but his antics after his wife's match were fantastic. Fandango meanwhile, was repackaged and is now a sal...
