WWE Money In The Bank 2014 Predictions & Analysis

WWE Money In The Bank 2014 Predictions

Money In The Bank has become one of the WWE's biggest PPV's of the years. Many classic moments and matches have taken place at this PPV over the past few years. This year's PPV has the potential to be just as memorable as a new champion will be crowned. Beyond that, the majority of the matches are very hard to predict. Although I do have an idea of what I think will happen which I will detail in this column. Also, this is not neccesarily what I think should happen, to see what I think SHOULD happen click here! Now, without a further a due. Let's get into my predictions and analysis for each match on the show.

1) Goldust & Stardust vs. Ryback & Curtis Axel

It's rumored that WWE's plans for Cody Rhodes as Stardust depend on how well the gimmick goes over with the crowd. Based on the way people have reacted on Twitter, I think most enjoy it. That being said, I think the Rhodes Bros will

WWE Monday Night Raw Review - June 23rd, 2014

WWE Monday Night Raw Review - June 23rd 2014

The show opens up with Stephanie McMahon and Vickie Guerrero. This was actually a very enjoyable segment. Stephanie challenges Vickie to a match later in the night and if she wins, she won't get fired. Vickie quotes Eddie by saying she knows how to lie, cheat, and steal then accepts her challenge. The crowd gets heavily behind Vickie for the first time in forever! Great opening segment despite my original thoughts on these two opening the show. When this was announced, I was like "Why are they opening with Stephanie & Vickie when they have a PPV to build toward that doesn't involve either of them?" Well, this turned out pretty good so I can't complain.

The Usos came out next followed by Luke Harper & Erick Rowan. They had new theme music that sounded pretty odd. It was a harmonica or something playing the rhythm of "He's got the whole world in his hands" which was pretty cool, but then again it doesn't make sense. Bray started singing that about John Cena so why should it be the theme song of Rowan & Harper when it has nothing to do with them? Hopefully they'll do some work on their theme soon.

The first match was very quick between Harper and Jimmy Uso. Harper picked up a quick squash victory. Then Erick Rowan faced off against Jey Uso.

1) Erick Rowan vs. Jey Uso
This match was longer than the one involving Harper, but it was still rather short. Despite that, it was pretty entertaining. Uso gets the win and chaos ensues after the match

ROH Best In The World PPV Review

ROH Best In The World 2014 Review

It's Ring of Honor's PPV debut live in Nashville, Tennessee! The show opens up with a Six Man Mayhem Match with the winner earning a TV Title shot!

1) Tomasso Ciampa vs. BJ Whitmer vs. ACH vs. Caprice Coleman vs. Tadarius Thomas vs. Watanabe - Six Man Mayhem #1 Contender's Match for TV Title

This bout started off with a nice exchange between Ciampa and ACH, but other men soon started tagging in. ACH stayed in for the majority of the match then the whole thing broke down into insanity. Watanabe and Ciampa had a stiff strike exchange that left Ciampa with a busted mouth, but he perservered and even hit an uncharacteristic dive over the top rope! ACH was the highlight of the match however as he hit an amazing dive springboarding off the second rope onto three competitors then he headed back in the ring and delivered a 450 splash on Thomas for the victory! Awesome opening match!

Match rating - 7.5/10

2) Jay Lethal vs. Matt Taven - ROH TV Title Match

Taven and Lethal have fantastic chemistry together so it was no surprise to me when these guys put on a great match. The Truth Martini situation was handled very well and it was actually

Five Reasons You Should Order ROH's Best In The World PPV

Five Reasons You Should Order ROH's Best In The World PPV
Tomorrow night, Sunday June 22nd, Ring of Honor wrestling will make it's live PPV debut. It's available on all major cable and satellite providers including Dish Network and Direct TV (for a full list of companies provided the PPV, click here!) It will feature talent such as Adam Cole, Michael Elgin, Christopher Daniels, Kazarian, Kevin Steen, Matt Hardy, and many others.

This is without a doubt an event you don't want to miss. If for some reason you're not sold on the PPV or not familiar with ROH, I'd like to give you five reasons that you should order this big event!


1) The Return of Christopher Daniels and Debut of Frankie Kazarian
After a long stint in TNA Impact Wrestling, Christopher Daniels will be making his return to the place he started off, Ring of Honor. Daniels was in the main event of the first ever ROH show back in 2002. In the following years, he would rise to prominence which led to him getting signed by TNA Wrestling, but the time has come for The Fallen Angel to come home! Daniels is not coming alone however, he's bringing his Bad Influence partner, Frankie Kazarian with him! Daniels & Kazarian will be taking on ROH Tag Team Champions Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish (ReDragon) in a match that has potential to steal the show. Kyle O'Reilly is a unique wrestler reminiscent of strikers like Samoa Joe and technical specialists like Nigel McGuinness. His partner Bobby Fish is no slouch in the ring either and they've dominated the ROH Tag Divison for quite some time having classic matches against teams such as The Young Bucks. Seeing Bad Influence clash with ReDragon will be nothing short of epic.

2) The Grudge Match between The Briscoes Bros and Matt Hardy & Michael Bennett

Over the past few months, the rivalry between The Briscoes Brothers and Adam Cole's entourage of Matt Hardy & Michael Bennett has reached new heights. Hardy & Bennett cost Jay Briscoe the World Championship at Supercard of Honor earlier this year and since then The Briscoes have

TNA Impact Review - June 19th, 2014

TNA Impact Wrestling Review - June 19th, 2014 - A New Champion is Crowned ; Tommy Dreamer confronts Dixie Carter
The show opens up with MVP, Kenny King, and Bobby Lashley. He calls Eric Young to the ring and we get an impromptu World Title match between Young and Kenny King.

1) Eric Young vs. Kenny King - TNA World Championship Match
This was a fun match and very interesting considering this was the opening match of the show. Samoa Joe, Austin Aries, Davey Richards, and Eddie Edwards came down to back up EY since MVP and Lashley were at ringside for King. This match only lasted around 10 minutes, but was a fun encounter. Young retains the title.

After the match, a huge brawl breaks out between

WWE Monday Night Raw Review - June 16th, 2014

The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon in the ring like normal. They basically came out just to announce some matches for the night including a Battle Royal and John Cena vs. Kane in a Stretcher Match.

1) Dolph Ziggler vs. Seth Rollins
The series of matches these two have been having over the past few weeks has been so fun to watch. They are two of the most talented young stars on the roster so it's been a treat to watch them go at it each week. This was fantastic just like all of their other matches have been. Although this one didn't have a finish because Dean Ambrose ran in to attack Seth Rollins. I'm not complaining though because we got a solid 10-15 mins of Ziggler/Rollins beforehand and Ambrose attacking Rollins was so hype.

Ambrose got on the mic and cut one of his great promos basically challenging Rollins to a fight. Triple H came on the screen and said since Ambrose wants a fight, he'll give him one. And out comes Bad News Barrett!

2) Bad News Barrett vs. Dean Ambrose
Wow! What a start to Raw! One quality match after another! A very physical brawl would be the best way to describe this. Barrett targeted the arm of

WWE Friday Night Smackdown Review - June 13th, 2014

The show opened with a great in ring promo from Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. They were interrupted by Triple H who appeared on the screen and announced that Ambrose would face Wyatt later in the night while Barrett would face Reigns next.

1) Bad News Barrett vs. Roman Reigns
Good opening match here. Although it ended in a no contest, it was an exciting way to start the show. 3MB ended up running down and getting destroyed by Roman Reigns. The spear that Heath Slater took after diving off the steel steps was epic. Fun start to the evening.

2) Jey Uso vs. Erick Rowan
I'm really enjoying the feud between The Usos and Harper & Rowan. Their match on Raw a few weeks ago was
