Mike Rebooks The Road to WWE WrestleMania XXXII – Part Six – WrestleMania XXXII

14th June 2023 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

We’re continuing my current rebooking arc this week, as we go from Survivor Series 2015 all the way up to WrestleMania XXXII.

Last week we booked Roadblock 2016, and I’ll post the results after the break line for those who would like to be easily caught up to where we are in this six part arc. You can also read the full article in my archives should you wish to.

Well, here we are, we’ve finally made it to WrestleMania XXXII. Over the past six weeks I’ve been rebooking every major WWE event from Survivor Series 2015 onwards in an effort to come up with an entertaining alternative reality to what WWE gave us in real life. Now we reach the final test, as I see if my version of Mania XXXII is actually any good. For all I know you’ll hate it, but you can’t always win them all can you?

Still though, I’ve worked on this quite I bit so hopefully all that work will pay off and we’ll get a good show out of it!

The SmarK Rant for WWF In Your House: D-Generation X 12.07.97

It’s been a great many years since I’ve reviewed this one and we’re at that point in the RAW reviews, so let’s see if it’s any better than I remember.

Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves

We’re less than three weeks away from Money in the Bank and tonight we have another qualifying match. We also have Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn getting to deal with Imperium, but the bigger story might be Finn Balor coming after Seth Rollins and the World Heavyweight Championship. Let’s get to it.

It’s the go home show for Judgment Day and, for the third pay per view in a row, the Smackdown main event is going to be Edge vs. Undertaker for the World Title. That doesn’t make for the most exciting result, but that is about all they can do in their current situation. I’m not sure how interesting the final push is going to be but let’s get to it.

ECW On Sci Fi – May 13, 2008

ECW On Sci Fi
Date: May 13, 2008
Location: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Commentators: Mike Adamle, Tazz

Last week’s show was the 100th episode so we’ll start on the second century. It’s the final show before Judgment Day and the ECW Champion isn’t defending his title at the show. Instead, Kane and CM Punk are teaming up to challenge Miz and John Morrison for the Smackdown Tag Team Titles. That isn’t going to leave much in the way of a build here but maybe they can come up with something else. Let’s get to it.

It’s a big night this week as we have the decision of Jey Uso. Last week Jey was put in the middle of Roman Reigns/Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso, but now he has to actually make a choice. Other than that, we have more Money In The Bank qualifying matches, which should at least be good. Let’s get to it.

Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler

It’s the go home Raw for Judgment Day and the title match is set. Unfortunately it hasn’t been the most well built match in the world, as it’s HHH vs. Randy Orton in a cage, which is only so interesting. Other than that, John vs. JBL and Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho are going to beef up the card well enough, with the final push coming tonight. Oh and General Manage William Regal is insane. Let’s get to it.

The World Title scene was shaken up last week as Vickie Guerrero stripped the Undertaker of the World Title due to using his choke. That is going to have to be rectified and that could take a little while to make happen. Believe it or not, Undertaker is not happy about this and odds are we are going to see him do something about it here. Let’s get to it.

We’re near WWE’s home this week and it’s a big night as Seth Rollins is defending the World Heavyweight Title against Damian Priest. Other than that, we’ll have some more Money In The Bank qualifying matches and more from Imperium and Kevin Owens/Sami Zayn. Let’s get to it.

It’s a special night as this is the 100th episode of ECW. That is quite the accomplishment, especially given how messy the early days were around here. The big story continues to be Kane vs. Chavo Guerrero, because that feud just can’t end already. Other than that, hopefully we get another big time story around here. Let’s get to it.

We’re done with Night Of Champions and while there wasn’t a big Smackdown title change, the major story came at the end, as Jimmy Uso superkicked Roman Reigns to seemingly remove himself from the Bloodline. Tonight just so happens to be the 1000 day celebration for Reigns’ Universal Title reign so we should be in for some fireworks. Let’s get to it.

We are less than two weeks away from Judgment Day and we have a bit of a crazy boss. Last week saw General Manager William Regal crowned as King, though the power seems to have already gone to his head as he cut the show off so fans who booed him couldn’t see the ending. Mr. Kennedy isn’t happy and it might be time to deal with things. Let’s get to it.

Mike Rebooks The Road to WWE WrestleMania XXXII – Part Four – Fastlane 2016

31st May 2023 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

We’re continuing my current rebooking arc this week, as we go from Survivor Series 2015 all the way up to WrestleMania XXXII.

Last week we booked Royal Rumble 2016, and I’ll post the results after the break line for those who would like to be easily caught up to where we are in this six part arc. You can also read the full article in my archives should you wish to.

We left the Royal Rumble show with Dean Ambrose picking up the win in the Rumble match itself to earn a place in the Main Event of WrestleMania XXXII. Roman Reigns successfully defended his WWE Title on the show as well, but he ended up in a post-match face-off with The Undertaker, leading to the inevitable match between them being booked.

Charlotte Flair is still the WWE Women’s Champion, but she is getting increasingly more paranoid and desperate to hang onto it, as is Kevin Owens with his Intercontinental Title. I’m going to finally do something with Alberto Del Rio and the United States Title on this show as well, as I’ve been neglecting it since I began the arc and he’s yet to defend it on pay per view since I took over.

We’re done with Night Of Champions and that means it is time to deal with the fallout. The show featured a triple main event, including Seth Rollins being crowned as the new World Heavyweight Champion. In addition, Brock Lesnar beat Cody Rhodes and Jimmy Uso seems to have walked out on the Bloodline. Let’s get to it.

We’re in Saudi Arabia again and this time around the focus is on championships. That should give us some interesting possibilities as more than one title could change hands here. The show features a triple main event, with the new World Heavyweight Champion set to be crowned. Let’s get to it.

Mike Reviews Shows Considered To Be Stinkers – WWE Battleground 2017

27th May 2023 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Stinky Saturday Everyone!

I’ve never actually seen Battleground 2017 but it’s one of the lowest rated WWE shows ever on CageMatch.net so it felt like it made sense for the ol’ Stinker treatment. For those not au fait, the Stinker Review is a monthly thing where I look at a show with a bad reputation and see if it’s deserved or not.

The Main Event of this one is a Punjabi Prison match between Jinder Mahal and Randy Orton, which certainly sounds like it will be a real humdinger. The rest of the card has a slew of poorly rated matches by the looks of things, so I’m suitably nervous.

You can view the full card by clicking below;

We are less than twenty four hours away from Night Of Champions and that means this week’s show is taped in advance. Tomorrow’s show is all but set and that should make for a card built around getting everything finalized. I’m sure there will be some extra stuff pushed as well so let’s get to it.

Mike Rebooks The Road to WWE WrestleMania XXXII – Part Three – Royal Rumble 2016

24th May 2023 by Michael Fitzgerald

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

We’re continuing my current rebooking arc this week, as we go from Survivor Series 2015 all the way up to WrestleMania XXXII.

Last week we booked Starrcade 2015, and I’ll post the results after the break line for those who would like to be easily caught up to where we are in this six part arc. You can also read the full article in my archives should you wish to.

Starrcade 2015 ended with a few key plot points. Roman Reigns retained his WWE Title against Cody Rhodes in the Main Event, whilst Dean Ambrose managed to gain entry into the Royal Rumble match courtesy of a big win.

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch defeated Naomi and Sasha Banks, but now both of their teams have splintered and action is required to address it at the Royal Rumble.

Kevin Owens is still the Intercontinental Champion, but his grip on that belt might soon be slipping, as might The New Day’s hold on the WWE Tag Titles.

Let’s see what happens next as we rebook Royal Rumble 2016!
