Wrestling Undertaker Assets

Too slow, Ronda, too slow Photo Credit: WWE.com In the classic TH Style, folks. If you didn't see this one live, well, get your free month (or make like Kairi Sane's gimmick) of WWE Network and doubleheader this and Takeover, because hoo-boy, it's been all good. Highlights: AJ Styles retained the WWE World Championship against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens with a casadora victory roll counter of the pop-up powerbomb. The Usos retained the Smackdown Tag Team Championships with a straight two-nothing sweep of Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin. Shinsuke Nakamura won the 2018 men's Royal Rumble match by lastly eliminating Roman Reigns. The Bar regained the RAW Tag Team Championships for a fourth time by defeating Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan. They hit Rollins with a double-team White Noise, as Jordan spent the entire match incapacitated. Brock Lesnar retained the WWE Universal Championship over Kane and Braun Strowman by F5ing Kane onto a chair. Asuka won the first ever women...

For McCool and other women of the past who came back, this was an earned moment Photo Credit: WWE.com I am emotionally exhausted after watching the women's Royal Rumble match. I can't write about it objectively because it was such a deeply personal experience, a kind of compensation to me for sitting through years of bullshit, but even more deservedly to the women who competed in the match. You can quibble about so many newcomers being eliminated by the old guard, and if this was another instance of, say, Kane and Big Show cleaning house, I might agree, but in this case that shit felt earned . Lita, Trish Stratus, Michelle McCool? Hell yeah. My girl Molly Holly? HELL FUCKING YEAH. I'd rather see them toss around every asshole who ever catcalled them or every man, in the business or out of it, who thought they were less than their male counterparts, but finally, FINALLY seeing them get the respect they deserve was amazing. And does it make up for Lita having her personal lif...

Is the women's Rumble ready for Asuka? Photo Credit: WWE.com Yesterday, I covered the morass that is the men's Royal Rumble match , in that I could see a possible four competitors taking the victory, which is about three more people than you can expect to win in a given year. The unpredictability has gotten folks excited for the match, but the amount of mystery around the winner of the first ever women's Royal Rumble is at least comparable if not more so. Okay, so that's not entirely accurate. Most people think that if Ronda Rousey signs with WWE before Sunday that she's going to win the match. The problem is that no one knows the status of contract negotiations. She's been training at the Performance Center. One Horsewoman buddy, Shayna Baszler, is receiving a god-push in NXT and another one, Marina Shafir, is engaged to NXT wrestler Roderick Strong and is also around the Orlando periphery. But all reports seem to lean towards the two sides not being close enou...
