Welcome to this week’s Friday Night SmackDown review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Ted McCullty and we’ve got more sexy ladies here on Playboy TV…whoops! I’m Nathan Favel and we have the death of Pat Patterson to start. Pat Patterson was the one of the great names of professional wrestling, one so large that he helped start the Intercontinental Title just by being too popular to not portray as a champion. Not only did Pat cement his place in wrestling as a major star of tremendous wrestling skill, but he did so as the first major name to be openly homosexual, paving the way for many others to do so. It was Pat’s homosexuality that would stain his reputation as well, but I say that Pat, whether he was a bastard or not, does deserve to be remembered for his accomplishments. To a man who is many things,...

After the unexpected success of WrestleMania 36, with its terrific cinematic matches and fresh fun at a time when it is much needed, it has been a bizarre few weeks for WWE, on and off screen. The controversy surrounding WWE being deemed an “essential business”, a slew of horrific releases, Vince McMahon’s reported fluctuating attitude swinging to “f**k it”, a few injuries of stars like Kevin Owens and Jimmy Uso, pushes and/or TV time for talent who have before not received much of a look in, some limited talent available for shows and some creative-wacky storyline decisions. This really is a year that we will not soon forget when it comes to, well, anything really, but in this case WWE!
So with that said, we advance onto the next Pay-Per-View event, as some newer stars were increasingly getting a shot and some interesting matches had been announced. Ladies and gentleman,...

Welcome to this week’s Friday Night SmackDown review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the more build for Money In The Bank. Redcon-1 sucked ass. I don’t care if Ted Cruz liked it. Ted Cruz can like my foot up his ass. F— it. Let’s start the review.
Match #1: Daniel Bryan def. King Corbin (Disqualification) The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Daniel Bryan and King Corbin pushed each other to the brink in a fierce battle of former Money in the Bank Ladder Match winners, but the royal combatant threw a ladder at his opponent in an act of desperation that led to a disqualification. The fighting continued as Bryan clutched Corbin in the “Yes!” Lock on top of a ladder, but Shinsuke Nakamura & Cesaro emerged to help their unlikely ally dish out the final punishment.
My Opinion: 3.5 out of...

Welcome to this week’s Friday Night SmackDown review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Peter Pan’s got a small dinky. Braun “F— The Poor Wrestlers” Strowman is the new Universal Champion, so that happened. I’m looking forward to seeing how he does in the role, but I also hope a bunch of indy wrestlers show-up and steal his money, so he can have his chance to feel their pain during the whole Covid-19 crisis. Oh, Braun said “screw you” to any indy wrestler trying to make a buck/avoid having to quit the sport during the lay-off. Yeah…what an idiot. Okay, let’s have some damn fun.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I was helping this lady with the blinkers on her car. She asked me to check if they were working and I said “yes, no, yes, no, yes, no…”. My dad told me that tonight. Yeah, there you go. Any-way, let’s see if Nxt can manage to do a whole show without WWE promos. I have my doubts/it can’t.
Match #1: Rhea Ripley, Toni Storm and Candice LeRae def. Kay Lee Ray, Bianca Belair and Io Shirai The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The piecemeal teams ultimately broke down in favor of Ripley, Storm and LeRae. The Evil Genius of the Sky and The Est of Nxt were unable to stay on the same page, and the Nxt Women’s Champion took advantage, taking Belair down with The Riptide for the victory.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have the big Triple Threat Match to decide who fights Adam Cole next week. It’s Danny F—— Kaye! Why did Dr. Manhattan return to Earth to nail Regina King when he could have had the Blue Man Group? Alright, it’s time for Nxt.
Match #1: Angel Garza def. Lio Rush – Nxt Cruiserweight Championship Match The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Angel Garza waged psychological warfare against Lio Rush for weeks, and as unbecoming as his tactics were at times, they helped him capture championship gold. The black-and-gold brand’s resident heartthrob made the most of his second opportunity versus Rush, dethroning him as Nxt Cruiserweight Champion with an unconventional submission in a thrilling seesaw affair. Rush was still clearly incensed by the mind games Garza had played — which included Garza...

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have Mickey Mouse riding away in a white Ford Bronco. Mickey’s wife Minnie was found stabbed to death along with Goofy. We have Johnny Cochran with us now. Johnny? If the glove does not fit than you must acquit! This TalkTech stuff picks up the damnedest things, doesn’t it? Donald clearly killed them both. Okay, let’s get to Nxt.
Match #1: Killian Dain def. Pete Dunne The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Pete Dunne made the best of being flattened on Killian Dain’s back at TakeOver: WarGames, but on this night a similar fate ended in defeat for The BruiserWeight. With Damian Priest unable to compete against Dain as scheduled, The Northern Ireland Nightmare elected to call out anyone in the Nxt locker room bold enough to...

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and Elton John used to kick that Tiny Dancer from his song. What a prick. This show has a lot of great wrestling on it, so let’s not waste any time on folding our napkins, because Vanilla Sky is the greatest movie ever made. Nxt…Now!
Match #1: Rhea Ripley def. Bianca Belair The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend, and that holds true for Candice LeRae in the case of Io Shirai. Rhea Ripley’s bout with Bianca Belair showcased two of the Nxt Women’s division’s most powerful competitors trading tests of strength and athleticism. Neither was able to gain much of an advantage in the evenly matched bout until Shirai arrived to try to spoil things for Ripley, apparently not...

Welcome to this review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have a couple of big matches to get to, so let’s get to them right now.
Match #1: Angel Garza def. Joaquin Wilde in the first round of the Nxt Breakout Tournament The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The bigger the entrée, the bigger the appetite. In the first round of the newly launched Nxt Breakout Tournament, Angel Garza and Joaquin Wilde gave volume to that credo in a rip-roaring showdown that prompted “Fight forever” chants throughout Full Sail Live. Garza, an uber-confident third-generation luchador, put his versatile skillset on full display with a series of fast-paced maneuvers that threw Wilde’s innovative offense out of whack, which was apparent when he manipulated a dazzling headscissors from his opponent with a faceplant right onto the canvas. However, Wilde used his fearless spirit...

Welcome to this review of Nxt TakeOver: Xxv, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have some good, some ba…okay, it’s pretty much good all around, but did it match the success of All Elite Wrestling’s Double Or Nothing? Let’s find out how good this show really was.
Match #1: Matt Riddle def. Roderick Strong The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
A true brawl of the mighty launched the 25th edition of Nxt TakeOver, and given the sterling wrecking crews involved, there was no better way to crack the pavement. In a painful blitz between pure strength and spine-tingling backbreakers, Matt Riddle and Roderick Strong slugged it out in a perilous back-and-forth contest. It was a physical trade-off from the get-go, with Riddle flinging his opponent across the canvas with a deadlift trifecta of gut-wrench suplexes. Not one to be outdone, The...

Match #1: Forgotten Sons def. Humberto Carrillo, Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Nothing binds a group quite like a common enemy. After several tumultuous encounters with The Forgotten Sons in recent weeks, Humberto Carrillo, Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch funneled all their frustration against the treacherous trio in a high-octane Six-Man Tag Team Match. Lorcan swung the pendulum of bedlam out of the gate, forcing Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake to the outside with one heavy-handed strike after another. Burch and Carrillo also followed suit with punch-and-kick combos and a few aerial surprises, and Carrillo’s incredible springboard arm drag sent...

Match #1: Kairi Sane & Io Shirai def. Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
What a week it’s been for Kairi Sane & Io Shirai. After claiming multiple Nxt Year-End Awards at TakeOver: Phoenix and making impactful showings in the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, the “Sky Pirates” tasted the sweet satisfaction of retribution as they faced Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir in a long-awaited tag team match. The Four Horsewomen’s “ground soldiers,” whose interference caused Sane to lose the Nxt Women’s Title to Shayna Baszler at WWE Evolution last September, used quick tags and aggressive tactics to ground The Genius of the Sky. After absorbing Duke & Shafir’s ruthless attack,...

Match #1: Street Profits def. Metro Brothers The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
Eager to start 2019 on the right foot, The Street Profits were even more fired up than usual for their match against Chris & Jc Metro. Montez Ford howled in approval as Angelo Dawkins coldcocked Jc and Chris in succession, and it wasn’t long before Ford launched high into the air with an incredible frog splash to claim the decisive win. Yet, as Ford & Dawkins took a victory lap around Full Sail Live, they were blindsided by The Forgotten Sons’ Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler. Just when it looked like The Street Profits might turns things around, Jaxson Ryker entered the mix to give Blake & Cutler a three-on-two advantage.

Welcome to this week’s Nxt review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and I can say “macaroni” in Italian…M…a…c…a…r…o…n…i. On this week’s Nxt, we have some wrestling, which seems to be the opposite of Raw, so you should be happy. Also, do you wonder if Katy Perry has ever knocked anybody over with her massive breasts? Y’know, wham, bam, thank you, oooff! Any-way, while you think about that, let me tell you about this week’s Nxt.
Match #1: Matt Riddle def. Punishment Martinez The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
In a battle of two of Nxt’s newest Superstars, Matt Riddle extended his undefeated streak on WWE Network, downing the debuting Punishment Martinez. The Bronx-born Martinez was ferocious in the face of Riddle’s technical expertise, battering Riddle with a cyclone kick and a clothesline.

Match #1: Lacey Evans def. Candice LeRae The following is courtesy of WWE.com:
While Lacey Evans had much to say in last week’s testy parking lot confrontation, Candice LeRae, instead, had her fists do all the talking this week. Using her tenacious in-ring style as a mouthpiece, LeRae pulled out all stops to make The Lady of Nxt eat her words, throwing chops, hard elbows and flying hard rights to ensure the message was received. Yet, Evans didn’t make things easy, as she controlled much of the action with her brutal strength.
