Gold

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net, starting today. It could be anything from modern WWE
to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using
letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
Night of Champions 2015
Date: September 20, 2015
Location: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas
Commentators: Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield
This is the definition of a B level pay per view but there are some
interesting stories to bolster things up between Summerslam and Survivor Series. The big story tonight is Seth Rollins defending both the United
States and WWE World Titles against John Cena and Sting respectfully. Other than that well get to find out who Roman Reigns and Dean Ambroses partner
is against the Wyatt Family. Lets get to it.
Pre-Show: Stardust/Ascension vs. Lucha Dragons/Neville
Stardust and Neville have been feuding for a few weeks now and the teams
were brought in to make the battle even bigger. Konor easily counters Caras sunset flip with some choking but Cara comes back with a spinning cross.headbutt to the arm. Off to Stardust vs. Kalisto with Konor getting
in a cheap shot to help his partner. With the announcers debating whether
the Ascension are Stardusts henchmen, Kalisto headscissors Stardust down
and all six come in for a standoff. The bad guys are sent to the floor with
the Dragons hitting stereo suicide dives and Neville adding an Asai
moonsault as we take an early break.
Back with Viktor shouldering Kalisto into the corner to take over. Stardust comes in and works on the arm before its back to Viktor, who puts Kalisto
on top. You dont put a luchador on the top rope though as he hits a great looking hurricanrana and makes the tag off to Neville. We hit the series of kicks and a middle rope Phoenix splash gets two. Stardusts Disaster Kick
misses and Neville goes up top, only to have Stardust shove Viktor into the corner. Neville staggers into the Queens Crossbow for the pin at 9:46.
Rating: C-. Fine enough match here as Neville got to come in and clean
house while the feud gets to keep going for another month or so. Theyre
letting this one fly under the radar a bit and its giving everyone involved something to do. Above all else it lets them do something unique instead of wasting time on a nowhere feud.
Opening video: “Tonight is a night of champions.” Dang you mean they canceled Jackpot Bowling with Milton Berle? The main people on the roster tonight talk about how big the show is before going into a video on Rollins
two challengers.
Intercontinental Title: Ryback vs. Kevin Owens
Ryback is defending and this could go either way. Owens just decided he
wanted the title one night and has been messing with Ryback ever since. The champion comes out second which never sits well with me. Ryback starts fast
and wants Owens to bring it on. Kevin charges at him but gets gorilla
pressed out to the floor. Back up and Owens sends Ryback arm first into the post, which takes away a lot of Rybacks power game. Owens, the big crowd favorite here, slowly pounds Ryback down before sending the bad arm into
the buckle again.
We hit the armbar on the champ for a bit before he fights up with a
powerslam. A spinebuster gets two for Ryback and he scores with the
Meathook, which Cole identifies as a regular clothesline. Well to be fair
it was off the ropes instead of from the corner. The Shell Shock doesnt
work as the arm gives out and Ryback goes arm first into the post again.
Owens armbar doesnt work as Ryback powers him up into the Shell Shock
again, only to have Kevin rake the eyes and roll him up for the pin and the title at 9:30.
Rating: C+. Set the injury up, pay the injury off in the ending, give a
young guy a title. I have no complaints off this one and the match was fun
in the process. Owens winning with an old school cheating tactic makes it
even better. This was more fun than I was expecting and Im very pleased
with the result.
Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar is announced for Hell in a Cell. Well thats
quite the main event.
We recap Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev. These two had been feuding along with
Lana and Summer Rae respectfully, but now that Lana is on the shelf,
Ziggler bought Summer some earrings and wasnt clear on what his intentions were.
Rusev is livid at Summer.
Rusev vs. Dolph Ziggler
Dolph has long tights now. Ziggler scores with a quick dropkick to knock
Rusev to the floor but he comes back in for a shot to the ribs and a
chinlock. As this is going on, we get a nice discussion of the Divas
keeping diaries. Zigglers sleeper doesnt work as Rusev throws him outside
for a ram into the apron. An ugly small package gets two for Dolph but
Rusev slams him back down, followed by a chinlock.
A WE WANT LANA chant fires Dolph up and hes able to avoid a charge, sending Rusev into the buckle. Zigglers Fameasser attempt doesnt work and Rusevs swinging Rock Bottom gets two. Rusevs knee hits the buckle as well, setting
up the Fameasser for two more. A kick to the head has Ziggler in even more trouble but he comes back with the sleeper as this match just keeps going.
Now the superkick gets two for Rusev and he cant believe it was just a near fall. The Accolade doesnt work and Ziggler comes up with a mostly missed superkick for two of his own. Summer gets on the apron and is accidentally knocked into the ring, earning her an ejection. She throws in a shoe and
hits Rusev by mistake, setting up the Zig Zag for the pin at 13:38.
Rating: D+. WAY too long here and I lost interest about halfway through at best. This feud is all about the drama and not the in ring action because
we were supposed to have the mixed tag until Lanas wrist injury screwed everything up. Rusev getting pinned used to be a huge deal and now its
happened twice in a week.
Summer looks terrified.
Tag Team Titles: New Day vs. Dudley Boyz
New Day is defending and already lost to the Dudleyz in a non-title match. Before the match, New Day declares that our furniture is in danger. After praising their mentor (Jake from State Farm) its time for a SAVETHE TABLES chant until the Dudleyz cut them off. I love the Dudleyz but I could watch
New Day for hours. D-Von and Kofi get things going as Woods starts a
trombone recital.
The Dudleyz scare the champs out to the floor until its time for Bubba vs.
Big E., the latter of whom tells the old man to go home. Big E. takes over
and goes up top, only to get superplexed down for two. Woods: “BUBBA! DO
NOT DO THIS!” The distraction works as Kofi is able to dropkick Bubba in
the back to take over. We hit the rotating stomps (complete with more tromboning), followed by a splash on the apron to give E. two.
New Day starts some double teaming with Kofi firing off rights and lefts, meaning Woods plays Gonna Fly Now (theme from Rocky). I havent been this entertained in a long time. Kofi springboards into a Bubba Bomb, setting up
the hot tag to D-Von. House is quickly cleaned and the reverse 3D drops Big
E. The regular 3D looks to finish Kofi but Woods comes in for the DQ at
10:16.
Rating: B. The wrestling may not have been the best in the world but Xavier Woods and that trombone is as pure gold as anything Ive seen around this company in YEARS. The entire group is one of the funniest ideas in a long
time and goes to show you what can happen when you find a hot act. Great
stuff here and the rematch should be fun.
Post match Big E. loads up a table, only to have the Dudleyz fight back and
3D Woods through the table. JBL: “Its the night the music died.”
We recap Nikki Bellas title reign and breaking the record on Monday.
Divas Title: Nikki Bella vs. Charlotte
Nikki is defending and can lose the title via DQ or countout. Charlotte
takes her into the corner to start but a shoulder to the ribs puts
Charlotte on the floor. She tweaks her knee on the landing though and Nikki
has a target. A kick to the knee staggers Charlotte again and Nikki
powerbombs her off the apron for a big thud. Back in and Nikki puts on a
leg lock as the announcers thankfully acknowledge that the Womens Title and
the Divas Title are two different titles with two different lineages.
A snap suplex sends the knee into the ropes again and Nikki does some
pushups. Nikki slams the knee into the mat a few more times for two each
and wraps it around the post. Brie and Alicia try to help on a half crab
but Nikki yells at them for almost getting her disqualified. Makes sense. Charlotte comes back with a neckbreaker but the knee gives out again.
Theres a spear though and the Figure Eight ends Nikkis reign at 13:42.
Rating: B-. Uh well um ok then. They were getting somewhere with that knee
and then Charlotte just popped up and won the title. Im glad the title
reign is finally over but it was such a strange way to get to the ending.
Still though, really good match here and the best WWE Divas match in a very long time.
The family celebration:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Ric Flair comes out to cry his eyes out over the title win.
Owens denies cheating and is happy to finally have a prize. Its no secret
how great he really is. Nice line there.
The kickoff panel chats for a bit.
Team PCB asks Ric if he knows a place to party in Houston. You know, he
just might. Ric looks so genuinely proud here and its really cool to see.
We recap the Wyatt Family vs. Roman Reigns/Dean Ambrose. These teams have
been fighting on and off for over a year and now the Wyatts have the
monster Braun Strowman with them. Reigns and Ambrose have a mystery partner
to help fight Strowman.
Wyatt Family vs. Roman Reigns/Dean Ambrose/???
A fan tries to run in and Wyatt asks if thats their guy. The mystery
partner isCHRIS JERICHO. Well its not Rowan or Kane so this is totally acceptable. Ambrose and Harper get things going with the good guy taking
over before its off to Jericho for the required YOU STILL GOT IT chant.
Reigns and Ambrose come in to try their luck on Strowman but he shoulders
both of them down.
Jericho tries to dive onto Braun but the glorified cruiserweight is caught
and thrown out to the floor for his efforts. Strowman throws Ambrose in for
a beating before tagging off to Bray. This works a bit better for Dean as
he grabs a neckbreaker, allowing for the tag off to Reigns. Harper comes in with his right hands and sitout powerbomb, only to have Roman fire off his corner clotheslines. Strowman offers a distraction though and Harper scores with a superkick for two.
The Wyatts take turns on Roman with Bray sending him to the floor for a
suicide dive. Reigns finally gets in an elbow to the jaw, allowing the tag
off to Jericho. Chris dropkicks Braun off the apron in a smart move and
slaps the Walls on Bray until Harper makes the save. Dean comes in and both Dirty Deeds and Sister Abigail are countered.
A double clothesline puts both guys down and its off to Reigns vs. Strowman with the Superman Punch FINALLY connecting. It takes three of them to
stagger Braun but Deans top rope elbow puts him down. Jericho tags himself
in for a Lionsault for two with Braun launching him off the cover. Everyone else brawls at ringside so its that spinning Big Ending from Strowman,
followed by the choke to knock Jericho out at 13:36.
Rating: C+. This felt like a way to keep the feud going and theres nothing wrong with that. I love the idea of two teams feuding because thats what
they do no matter what. Jericho coming in there to lose is fine and its a
cool idea to build up to Roman finally knocking off the giant. Good stuff
here and a fun match.
Nice to see you again:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Jericho intentionally bumps into Ambrose as he leaves. Dean seems pleased
with Jerichos moxie.
The Authority gives Rollins a pep talk. Sheamus comes in and says hes ready too.
We recap Seth Rollins road to tonight, starting with winning the World
Title at Wrestlemania (in case you havent had that beaten into your head
enough yet), being the Authoritys attention starved child, and then winning
a second title from John Cena at Summerslam. Oh and his statue was
destroyed in a very novel move.
US Title: John Cena vs. Seth Rollins
Seth is defending of course. We get the big match intros here and Rollins
is in the white attire again. The fans are all over Cena to start and
things get even worse with Rollins charging into an elbow for two. Rollins comes back with a kick to the ribs and some trash talk as he seems to be
trying to conserve energy.
We hit an early sleeper on Cena before Cena is put in the Tree of Woe for a
top rope double stomp in an awesome looking spot. Cenas rollup gets two and
he sidesteps a splash (which looked very Stingy) in the corner. He takes
too long setting up the Shuffle, allowing Rollins to try a kick to the
head, only to have Cena pull him to his feet into a sunset bomb for two.
The AA is countered but Cena hurricanranas his way out of the buckle bomb
to send Seth into the corner instead.
Seth flips out of the AA again and the low superkick gets two for the
champ. Theyve skipped the opening part of the match here and have went
straight to the back and forth bombs. Seth misses the frog splash and the
Eddie chants pipe up, even though it was more like a Five Star Frog Splash. Cena comes back with the tornado DDT for two and goes up top, only to have Rollins run the ropes into a superplex.
Thats not enough though as he floats over into a regular suplex for two, leaving both guys spent. Another AA is countered into a rollup but Seth
muscles Cena up into a buckle bomb for two. Back up and Rollins rolls
through a cross body to try an AA on Cena. Thankfully they only tease the finisher stealing as Cena counters into a reverse suplex, followed by the
AA for the pin and the title at 15:43.
Rating: A-. As repetitive as these two have become, this was one of their better matches because they just went straight for the big spot trading
instead of trying to do anything slow paced. Rollins wanting to end it fast made the most sense and it was a better match as a result. Cena getting the
US Title back makes the most sense and we might even get the Open Challenge back as a result. Good stuff.
Rollins tries to bail but Cena gives him another AA on the floor and heres Sting.
WWE World Heavyweight Title: Sting vs. Seth Rollins
Sting goes right after him to start and quickly sends the champ out to the floor. Theyre pretty clearly going for the brawl here as Sting sends him
into the barricade. Rollins tries to get away over the barricade but sting pulls him back to the table. Seth gets in his first offense by shoving
Sting through the table before grabbing his title. He changes his mind
about leaving though and comes back to slam Sting onto the broken table.
Back in and a falcons arrow gets two on Sting and Seth is starting to get frustrated. Theres a buckle bomb for two. The Pedigree is countered and
Sting breaks up a springboard by shoving Seth into the barricade for the
second time. Two Stinger Splashes crush Rollins so he heads outside, only
to have Sting dive off the top with a cross body. Back in and the Death
Drop gets two out of nowhere with Rollins having to put his foot on the
bottom rope.
Another Stinger Splash sets up right hands in the corner but Seth counters
into another buckle bomb. Seth tries a clothesline but Sting collapses to
the mat. The doctor checks on Sting as he gets back up and its going to continue. Sting counters the Pedigree into a weak Deathlock. Thankfully
Seth is quickly in the ropes and comes back with an enziguri to the bald
spot. The Pedigree is countered into another Scorpion attempt but Seth
rolls him up to retain at 15:13.
Rating: B+. This was WAY better than it had any right to be with the ending making enough sense. I really didnt need to have Sting as the World
Champion because, whether WWE wants to admit it or not, hes one of the
biggest stars ever and doesnt need this title to validate himself. Good
match though as Sting pulls another rabbit out of his hat. Though hopefully
not by the ears because thats just cruel.
Sheamus comes out immediately and its on! Rollins misses a belt shot and Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick but heres Kane in the mask to chokeslam
Rollins. Sheamus wants Kane to give him one more but Kane chokeslams
Sheamus instead. A tombstone to Rollins ends the show. Yes seriously, it
ends with Kane standing tall and likely setting up the title match inside
the Cell.
Overall Rating: A. Well that worked. This was another show that completely overachieved and had no business being nearly as good as it was. This goes
up another notch if they somehow got rid of that stupid briefcase and
werent setting up Kane inside the Cell for the title, but that match had to happen at some point. Rollins is ready to be the star of tomorrow and its
going to happen one day soon. Really fun show here with only the Rusev vs. Ziggler match not being good to awesome.

(VIDEO): That Wont Help. Matt Riddle Posts Video Complaining About NXT
Stars, Fellow NXT Star Responds.
Posted: 07 Sep 2019 01:02 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/video-wont-help-matt-riddle-posts-video-complaining-nxt-stars-fellow-nxt-star-responds/
He knows how to win friends. Matt Riddle came to WWE from the UFC with
quite the reputation. While immensely talented, Riddle had a reputation as being a bit difficult to work with and being willing to say whatever is on
his mind. This has become an issue before with fellow stars such as
Goldberg, and now it may be getting him in some more trouble.
On Friday, Riddle posted a video to Twitter where he criticized his fellow wrestlers for not giving him a ride to work. While Riddle does not name
any names, he does seem to be addressing multiple wrestlers at the same
time. Tommaso Ciampa responded to the video with a Tweet of his own,
telling Riddle to “go **** himself.” Ciampa is currently on the shelf recovering from a neck injury but is expected to be returning soon.
I don’t see this getting him over. Check out the video from Riddle and
then Ciampa’s response:
[This post contains video, click to play]
The boys shall police themselves. Aka go fuck yourself.
https://t.co/utYqw9jG92
- CIAMPA (@NXTCiampa) September 6, 2019
Opinion: The more you hear about him, the more Riddle seems to be his own
worst enemy. He has all the talent in the world and would seem to be
someone that could be a top star in NXT, but that isn’t going to be the
case if he can’t get out of his own way. I don’t know how this was supposed to make things better, but the video isn’t exactly going to help
his reputation whatsoever.
What do you think of the video? Or of Ciampa’s response? Let us know in
the comments below.

(WATCH): Thats A Big Hint. Local Advertisements Seem To *SPOIL* Clash Of Champions Main Event.
Posted: 07 Sep 2019 12:57 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/watch-thats-big-hint-local-advertisements-seem-spoil-clash-champions-main-event/
That’s kind of giving things away. Wrestling storylines can go all over
the place at times, with one changing coming after another at the drop of a hat. That’s one of the things that makes it so much more interesting a lot of the time as you don’t quite know what you are going to get. Sometimes
you get a little preview though and that might be what a local
advertisement has given us.
Local advertisements for the upcoming September 21 house show in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada feature Universal Champion Seth Rollins defending his title against the Fiend Bray Wyatt. This would suggest that Rollins will successfully defend his title against Braun Strowman at Night Of Champions, which would likely mean that he will defend his title against Wyatt at Hell
In A Cell on October 6. Keep in mind that the plans could certainly change before the September 21 show.
This tells you a lot. Check out the local advertisement:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: This might not be the biggest surprise in the world but it does
set up an interesting match. I’m not sure that WWE is willing to make
Wyatt World Champion again but at the same time I can’t imagine them
setting up a character for six months and then have him lose in his first
title match. It makes for something interesting and that hasn’t been the case for a title match in quite some time.
Do you think Wyatt will get the match? How do you see it going? Let us
know in the comments below.

(VIDEO): At Least It Isnt About Becky Lynch. Ric Flair Announces A New
Deal With Major Company.
Posted: 07 Sep 2019 12:52 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/video-least-isnt-becky-lynch-ric-flair-announces-new-deal-major-company/
He’s still worth something. Over the last few weeks, Ric Flair has gotten into the WWE’s bad graces by attempting to file a trademark on the term The Man. WWE has not been pleased with this as they are pushing Becky Lynch as
The Man, meaning a lot of money could be at stake. That isn’t all Flair
has been up to though, as he is now signed up for a new deal which could
bring him some extra money.
As seen in a new video from TMZ Sports, Flair has announced a new deal with Adidas and plans to help them take down Nike. Flair did not go into
details of what the deal will entail as far as endorsements or products.
He did mention several NBA stars under contract with Adidas, such as Damien Lillard and James Harden, who he is looking forward to working with in the future.
Only Flair could make this sound so awesome. Check out his announcement:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: This is a good deal for Flair of course, but at the same time it
also shows just how big of a star he still is. Flair has not been an
active WWE wrestler in over ten years and was well past his prime by that point. In spite of all the time that has passed though, he is still
someone valuable enough to be signed to a deal like this. How many other seventy year old wrestlers are going to be able to say that?
What do you think of Flair’s deal? Will the Man issue get him in big
trouble with WWE? Let us know in the comments below.

RUMOR: It Couldnt Hurt. WWE To Start Fantasy Wrestling League.
Posted: 07 Sep 2019 12:47 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/rumor-couldnt-hurt-wwe-start-fantasy-wrestling-league/
Everybody else has one. WWE is in a strange place at the moment as they
are facing a well funded opponent for the first time in a good many years, meaning that they are going to make some changes. Some of these include bringing new eyes to the product and then keeping them around, which could
be helped by a new idea that they are rumored to be considering.
According to Brad Shepard on the High Spot Podcast, WWE may be considering starting its own fantasy league. While there are few details, the league
would not be starting until 2020 and would be run by WWE itself. This
would not be the first time such a thing has been done, as WWE had
something similar in 2004, though fantasy sports have exploded in
popularity since then.
You can listen to the full podcast right here:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Since there isn’t much in the way of fantasy wrestling, this is about as
good as we’re going to get. Check out some fantasy matches that WWE would like to see:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I have no idea how WWE doesn’t have one of these things already. Almost any major sport, or even smaller ones, have such a thing, with even
the already defunct AAFL having a fantasy league. It is the kind of thing
that could draw in a lot of fans and if WWE can work the kinks out, it
could draw in not only a lot of fans, but also a lot of money should they
go down that path.
Would you want to play fantasy WWE? Will WWE be able to make it work? Let
us know in the comments below.

The Revolving Doors Continue. Updates On Futures For Two Top Ring Of Honor Stars, Possibly AEW Bound?
Posted: 07 Sep 2019 12:43 AM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/revolving-doors-continue-updates-futures-two-top-ring-honor-stars-possibly-aew-bound/
There is a lot of talent out there. The wrestling wars have picked up
steam again with AEW changing the way the industry works. With another
major name on the scene, we now have two big time places for people to
work. At the same time though, it can hurt the status of some of the
smaller promotions, who may be losing talents. That may be the case with
two prominent names.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ring Of Honor talents Marty Scurll (November) and current World Champion Matt Taven’s (September) contracts are set to expire soon. At the moment, Taven is expected to
remain in Ring Of Honor, as he is a big star in the company. Scurll on the other hand is expected to move to AEW, which has been the case for several months now.
The two of them have fought before. Check out the two of them preparing:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: Neither of these are exactly surprises as Scurll has been rumored
to go to AEW since the company was established and Taven is the World
Champion of a company lacking in star power. It would make sense for them
both to make these moves as both would benefit more from making them than changing anything else. It’s nice that they have options though, which is what the rise of AEW has offered.
Which of these two will be more successful next year? Who will move to AEW next? Let us know in the comments below.
