AEW Dynamite 11/1/23 Review - TONY KHAN MAKES ANOTHER LAME IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Solomonster reviews AEW Dynamite for November 1st with another HUGE Tony Khan announcement... for tickets to a show that is still nearly a year away. But it's huge! Plus, MJF searches for partners to tag with against Bullet Club Gold, Paul Wight returning to the ring even though it looks like he can barely move and Adam Copeland agrees to partner with Sting and Darby Allin at Full Gear. This will not go down as one of the better episodes of Dynamite this year.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

WWE Raw 10/30/23 Review - THE START OF THE MIZ BABYFACE TURN AND THE CREEDS DEBUT
Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for October 30th, the final Raw before Crown Jewel, with a hard push towards the Cody Rhodes/Damian Priest match and Seth Rollins against Drew McIntyre with two excellent promos from both men. The Creed Brothers from NXT also answered the Alpha Academy's open challenge and had a great debut. But WWE is also trying again with The Miz as a babyface and it never works in the long term. Finally, this is a Be The Booker segment to close out the show that you will not believe.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Solomonster reviews WWE Smackdown for October 27th, a decent enough episode but hardly anything exciting one week out from Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. But Roman Reigns showed up for work, which is rare these days, to sign the contract for his championship defense against LA Knight. John Cena is also facing what he calls a "must win" match with Solo Sikoa at Crown Jewel and boy are they playing up the sympathy factor with him of late. But it seems to be working because this latest run of his appears to be coming an end shortly. Also included at the top are thoughts on the Santana vs. Ortiz match that opened AEW Rampage.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join

WWE Raw 10/23/23 Review - A BORING SHOW AS TRIPLE H HITS RESET BUTTON ON SEVERAL NAMES

Thanks to BetterHelp for sponsoring this week's episode!Solomonster reviews WWE Monday Night Raw for October 23rd and the streak of really good shows has come to a screeching halt at two. The fans in Dallas didn't have a lot to get excited about, but were also probably keeping track of their two baseball teams during the show. Triple H has a tall order in front of him as he hit the reset button in many ways on several stars that have either yet to make a connection to the audience or have not been utilized on TV in a long time. Meanwhile, Drew McIntyre continues to be the most interesting character on the show and Cody Rhodes finds himself dealing with another storyline injury heading into Crown Jewel.***Follow Solomonster on Twitter for news and opinion:http://www.twitter.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
