Battleground 2017 Date: July 23, 2017 Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Commentators: Tom Phillips, John Bradshaw Layfield, Byron Saxton It’s time for another pay per view before we head on to Summerslam but tonight we have a Punjabi Prison match. Yeah they’re dusting this one off because the SmackdownContinue Reading
Welcome to the first wrestling review on Matt’s Entertainment. It’s only fitting that it coincides with the first “Great Balls of Fire” PPV event WWE is giving us. Ironically, the lame name of the PPV runs in juxtaposition with a really good card. Let’s see if the event lives upContinue Reading
It’s still not real to me, this whole thing. It’s weird to think that I actually went to Axxess, attended the Hall of Fame ceremony, went to WrestleMania and got to see a RAW show live the next day. This experience has left us exhausted but incredibly happy. I neverContinue Reading
This one’s a bit hard to report. There’s not a whole slew of unique photos we can produce or interesting stuff to do. So, I think we’ll report on each of the inductees and their best moments and give our opinions on the live experience. We took our good ol’Continue Reading

Hogan is drinking health shakes to start us out because he’s gotta wrestle Terry Funk tonight. Mean Gene drinks with him. Piper and Body are poolside with a bunch of 70’s porn stars, checking out the Hillbillies through binoculars. Something’s wrong with this. SNME Titles. We are LIVE(!) from Tampa,Continue Reading
I’m gonna rip through these shows one by one. This was the “Halloween Episode” despite the fact that it was a few days late. These shows were so stupid and corny…yet, as I mentioned in the last review, there’s something so very comforting about them. It’s nice to re-live these.Continue Reading
So, that last one was loads of fun. Let’s see what episode 2 has in store… Gene has Nikolai Volkoff and Classy Freddie Blassie. Volkoff says that he’s going to beat Hogan for the title tonight but even he doesn’t sound like he believes that. Then he says he willContinue Reading
