REVIEW: Elimination Chamber 2017: Last One

February 2, 2023

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. 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? Elimination Chamber 2017 Date: February 12, 2017 Location: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix, Arizona Commentators: Mauro Ranallo, John Bradshaw Layfield, Tom Phillips, David Otunga We’re two weeks removed from the Royal Rumble and that means it’s time for another pay per view. This time it’s Smackdown only with the big namesake match setting up the Wrestlemania World Title match for the blue brand. The winner seems pretty obvious but that’s never stopped WWE before. Let’s get to it. Pre-Show: Curt Hawkins vs. Moj..

Big Update On Zack Ryder And Curt Hawkins’ Post WWE Futures

May 3, 2020

So it’s over? Back in April, WWE released an unprecedented number of wrestlers, shaking up their roster in a bigger way than they ever have before in a three day span. Some names were not the most surprising, but others blindsided the fans as they were not names you would have expected to be let go. That made people wonder what was next for them, and now we know what is not next for two such names. Two of the names released from WWE were Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. Those were somewhat surprising given that the two of them had won the Raw Tag Team Titles about a year earlier at WrestleMania 35. It was a huge fall for the two of them over the years year and ended a ten plus year run with the company for Ryder. The team was now gone from WWE and they may be gone for good. On Saturday, Matt Cardona (Ryder) took part in a live Q&A on his Instagram page. One of the questions involved him teaming with Brian Myers (Hawkins), which Ryder said would not be happening. The two of them did want ..

EXCLUSIVE: WWE Status of Jinder Mahal

April 18, 2020

This week, WWE experienced a mass layoff of both wrestlers and employees, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of WWE losing an estimated $22 million due to canceling WrestleMania in Tampa, as well as losing additional millions due to the inability to have lice ticketed events, Vince McMahon made the tough decision to end the WWE careers of names including Drake Maverick, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows, Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins, No Way Jose, and others. WWE also released Kurt Angle from his position as a producer. I reached out to former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal to check on both his WWE status, as well as the status of his injury. Mahal stated that he is currently “cleared and waiting.” Mahal was last seen spending much of his television time chasing the WWE 24/7 Championship, which was a far cry from his ascension to the main event level just a couple of years prior. Mahal shocked the world by defeating Randy Orton at the 2017 Fastlane pay-per-view to win the WWE Championship, an..

Elimination Chamber 2020 Live Coverage And Results

March 8, 2020

Elimination Chamber 2020 Date: March 8, 2020 Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Jerry Lawler, Byron Saxton, Tom Phillips It’s time for the show the company mostly forgot until the last second. Thanks to being sandwiched between Super ShowDown and Wrestlemania, this is a show that has received very little attention and the build has suffered as a result. Neither World Champion is involved here and the likely main event is a #1 contenders match to the Raw Women’s Title. Let’s get to it. Kickoff Show: Viking Raiders vs. Zack Ryder/Curt Hawkins Ryder and Ivar start things off and it’s an early power display from Ivar, who throws Ryder all over the place. Hawkins comes in and gets the same treatment but a cheap shot from the apron lets Hawkins grab a suplex for two. Hawkins’ neckbreaker gets the same and we hit the chinlock. That doesn’t last long so Erik gets sent outside for a clothesline from the apron and we take a break..

Recently Departed WWE Superstar Returns At House Show

December 16, 2018

He’s not done just yet. Earlier this month on Monday Night Raw, Heath Slater defeated Rhyno in a match where the loser would be out of a job. While Slater has gone on to become a crooked referee, Rhyno seems to be looking for a new line of work. However, much like anything else in wrestling, there seems to be a little more to this than meets the eye. According to Wrestlinginc.com, Rhyno appeared at a WWE house show on Friday in Nashville, despite losing his career earlier in the month. After being on the losing end of a six man tag, Curt Hawkins made an open challenge in hopes of breaking his losing streak, which has now lasted over two years. Hawkins issued an open challenge so Rhyno came through the crowd and Gored him without a match actually starting. There is no word on if or when Rhyno will return to WWE TV. It was a hard way to go. Check out how Rhyno lost his job: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: I’m not sure how much value there is in pushing Rhyno at th..

Main Event Results – August 9, 2018

August 14, 2018

Main Event Date: August 9, 2018 Location: Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, Jacksonville, Florida Commentators: Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness, Percy Watson We’re coming up on Summerslam and since he was on Raw last week, there’s no Brock Lesnar to be seen this time around. There is however Roman Reigns, who I have a feeling we’ll be hearing from here. Hopefully there’s some more stuff from Smackdown though, as that show was great. Let’s get to it. Here are last week’s results if you need a recap. Opening sequence. No Way Jose vs. Curt Hawkins Jose has the Conga Line with him. Hawkins’ shoulder doesn’t do much good as Jose headlocks him and grabs an atomic drop. A shot to the ribs puts Jose on the floor and Hawkins is rather pleased. Back in and we hit the chinlock, followed by a snap suplex into the second chinlock. Hawkins misses the elbow though and Jose slugs away, followed by a fireman’s carry flapjack for two. The Pop Up right hand finishes Hawkins at 5:30. Result: No Way ..

Who Played Bobby Lashley’s Sisters On Raw This Week?

May 24, 2018

Sami Zayn conducted the most controversial segment on Raw this past week, as he interviewed the ‘sisters’ of Bobby Lashley. We have determined who played two of the three competitors. The segment on Raw featured Zayn running down the three men dressed as the sisters of Lashley. He had them explain what Lashley is like behind closed doors. While the segment wasn’t well-received, it was one of the most talked about moments of the show. The first ‘sister’ to be confirmed was “Frances.” This character was played by Create A Pro Wrestling Academy’s Max Caster. This is the academy owned by Curt Hawkins. Additionally, Caster is a regular performer on YouTuber GrimsToyShow’s content. He works on the GTS Wrestling show, for those fans out there. The other wrestler that has been identified is North Carolina’s “Mr. Everything” Victor Andrews. Andrews is a veteran ring performer and has competed in WWE before. He previously worked some NXT tapings, where he was the partner of Lars Sullivan as ..

Main Event Results – March 22, 2018

March 26, 2018

Main Event Date: March 22, 2018 Location: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas Commentators: Vic Joseph Nigel McGuinness I’m just going out on a limb here but I think Smackdown might get some extra attention this week. You know, because of that whole biggest story of the year thing that went down. There was good stuff on Raw too though, meaning we might not be getting a lot of original content this time around. Let’s get to it. Here’s last week’s show if you need a recap. Opening sequence. Curt Hawkins vs. Heath Slater Hawkins wastes no time in laying down so Slater can pin him but his “surprise” kick to the head is easily countered. A running clothesline puts Hawkins on the floor and he’d be more than happy to have Rhyno attack him for a DQ. Slater cuts him off but Hawkins cuts him off, followed by a chinlock inside. The comeback is cut off with a dropkick and Slater has to break out of another chinlock. There’s an enziguri to get Slater out of trouble and a neckbreaker is ..
