The Horror Show at Extreme Rules PPV Review
Welcome to the Horror Show at Extreme Rules PPV. If you’re a wrestling fan, this is a great weekend for us all. Unfortunately, I’m not spending $50 for a PPV despite hearing great things about Slammiversary. We had Braun Strowman defending the Universal Championship against Bray Wyatt in a Swamp match. Drew McIntyre put up his WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler. Bayley defended her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Nikki Cross. On Raw, Asuka put her Women’s title against Sasha Banks. The New Day defended their SmackDown tag titles against Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura. Apollo Crews was supposed to defend the new and improved United States title against MVP. It was…
WWE Goes For Goldberg In Saudi Again – But Why?
No matter who they’ve put on the card for their Saudi Arabia shows, WWE has struggled to generate excitement among wrestling fans outside the Arab state about them in the past. That’s largely because they’ve built up a lot of ill will with their fan base by giving the Saudi audience dream matches of the kind that have never been staged on American or European soil, and the general public has accused the company of accepting blood money to go there and appear in paid-for shows. They were put on blast by the world’s media for going ahead with their planned ‘Crown Jewel’ show in 2018 in the immediate…
Early WWE 2020 Royal Rumble Predictions
It’s January, and for fans of professional wrestling, that means only one thing – it’s Royal Rumble month! For a lot of fans, the Rumble is a bigger event than WrestleMania.

In years gone by its already been obvious by this point what the major matches at WrestleMania are going to look like, but this time around we have literally no idea.

Daddy’s Hangout Stomping Grounds PPV Review
Honestly, with the way the WWE have been going lately I was going to skip the Stomping Grounds PPV. With the Super Showdown still fresh in a lot of fans memory, this PPV wasn’t doing it for me. If you read online, fans have been shitting on the product for a while now. With the emergence of AEW and their successful, Double or Nothing the WWE have got to get things right. I’m not one on the AEW bandwagon because you can throw events together, but we’ll see after months being on TV. Anyways, I’m happy to say that I’m glad to tune into the PPV because it wasn’t bad…
Daddy’s Hangout WrestleMania 35 Review
WrestleMania 35 have come and gone! The weekend started with another amazing NXTTakeover and it was followed by the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame. First things first, WrestleMania was long, I mean really, really long. If you include the preshow, there was about seven hours of action and I’m exhausted. Instead of talking about what supposed to happen, we’re going to jump right into it. After Alexa Bliss introduced Hulk Hogan and they did their thing, Paul Heyman barged by both to head to the ring. Heyman said if Lesnar can’t be in the main event, he’s ready to get the match over now so Lesnar can go to Vegas.…
Daddy’s Hangout 2019 Royal Rumble Review

Daniel Bryan put up his WWE Championship against former champ, A.J. Styles. Ronda Rousey battled Sasha Banks for her Raw Women’s title. Asuka defended the SmackDown Women’s Championship against Becky Lynch. Shane McMahon & The Miz challenged the Bar for the SmackDown tag titles.

Welcome to the 33rd edition of WrestleMania as it took place in Orlando. As you know, WrestleMania weekend is pretty hectic for the fans and wrestlers. They have WrestleMania Access, the Hall of Fame on Friday and the NXTTakeover on Saturday. Coming into WrestleMania 33, we heard so many rumors and potential spoilers leading up to the event. Enough of all the talking and let’s see how things turned out at WrestleMania 33. We started the main show with Shane McMahon taking on A.J. Styles. Let me say that I have never seen Shane display this much technical wrestling before. This match produced some really good spots, storytelling and wrestling.…
Daddy’s Hangout Presents NXTTakeover: San Antonio Review
Welcome to the first NXTTakeover of 2017 with it taking place in San Antonio. Despite having the likes of Finn Balor, Austin Aries, The Revival and Samoa Joe not on the card, NXT will deliver. We have all championships being defended on this special, which is headlined by Shinsuke Nakamura defending the NXT title against Bobby Roode. With so many rumors about some in NXT making it to the main roster, will any defect to Raw or Smackdown in the near future? Also, with Triple H saying he’s not happy with where NXT is at now, will that affect some of those names from jumping? Can this NXTTakeover live up…
Daddy’s Hangout NXTTakeover: Brooklyn II Review
With so much going on in Brooklyn this weekend from Goldberg being there, with him and Brock calling each other out and of course, Summerslam is tomorrow. As much as I’m looking forward to the Summerslam PPV, NXTTakeover: Brooklyn II was something I was excited about also. The NXTTakeover specials have been instant classic and this one should be no different. Let’s see how things turned out!! This feud started when Aries attacked No Way Jose after they were having fun and dancing all around. Aries nailed him with the forearm knocking him off the announce table and proceeded to beat him down. I’ll be honest, No Way Jose haven’t…

Daddy’s Hangout 2016 Extreme Rules PPV Review
Another month, another PPV from the WWE and this time is the Extreme Rules PPV which featured a few rematches from the Payback PPV. My only gripe coming into the PPV is that WWE has a no blood policy and it’s kind of hard to sell an Extreme Rules concept without blood. With that said, let’s see how things turned out and hopefully the PPV will exceed my expectations. Let’s get started!!! This feud has been one of my favorites in the WWE right now with the matches between these four along with A.J. Styles & Roman Reigns has been awesome. This match was no different and with the match…
WWE Royal Rumble 2016 PPV Review from Orlando
Welcome to the much anticipated, first PPV of 2016, the Royal Rumble. I’ll be honest; it’s been a very, very, very long time since I was anticipating a PPV like I was with the Royal Rumble with so many rumors being thrown around. We heard a little bit of everything from who’s going to be the surprise entrants, A.J Styles could be debuting, could the entire Bullet Club show up or could Finn Balor be a part of the Royal Rumble. If the actual Rumble match didn’t have me excited enough, the matches before the Rumble match figured to be pretty good also. Let’s see what I thought about this…

Daddy’s Hangout 2014 Battleground PPV Review
Welcome to the Battleground PPV where there’s been some interesting storylines headed into this PPV. We have the Fatal 4-Way championship match with John Cena defending his title against Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and Kane. We also have the battle royal for the vacant Intercontinental Championship that was vacated when Bad News Barrett was injured on Smackdown a few weeks ago.

Daddy’s Hangout Presents 2013 SummerSlam PPV Review
Welcome to the biggest party of the summer and its Summer Slam. This is a PPV that I was really looking forward to because of the 2 main events. The build between Brock Lesnar and C.M. Punk has been phenomenal and Paul Heyman has been golden. Then, of course, the main event for the WWE Championship between John Cena and Daniel Bryan. Bryan has arguably been the hottest wrestler in the world for the past few months and is over more than any WWE star. Also at the PPV we saw the debut of Bray Wyatt, which I was also looking forward to. I was definitely hoping to see Ziggler…
