Opinion Piece: Retribution: Doomed To Failure?

 2020 Has being a rough year!

Coronavirus, and the panic, then restrictions, then the stupidity of complacency by Zoomers and Boomers Alike, Racial Tension in America, sparked by Police Murders and Murders by Police, is at an all-time low!

But you can always turn to the world of wrestling to escape the woes of the real world, right?

RIGHT?

That was until Retribution came along, Vince's latest "Them from Over There!" has got to be the most Offensive, Most Thinly Veiled Dump-Supporter World View Since Phillip "I Hate the Catholic Church Pullman" made the Villains in his Dark Materials Cloak-wearing Child-stealers!

To Be frank, Retribution is WWE's  ANTIFA Gimmick, where wwe's Asian, Latin, African-American, Foreign or at least Anyone with an Ethnic last name is being shoved into!...In a year of Civil Unrest, Bullbaiting the Koreans, The Wall, and the Dumbass in chief saying Corona was a Biological weapon!

In their Debut, which thank god was edited out of British Broadcast Out of Bad taste, Laid on the Gimmick too Thick! Showing Masked Men and Women all in Black throwing Molotov Cocktails at a Generator!

After That for weeks on end, the Arena had being ambushed by Masked Individuals with Pipes, Stanley Knifes and Pipes,and everyone ran away, not because they were afraid of the weapons, but because without them,  the mostly 5 foot nothing assailants would have being Curb Stomped!

For Weeks Noone was Safe, Main event matches, title Matches, No-one was safe from being attacked by the Masked Children! and it made wwe look stupid, how can they not notice 20 5 foot people in a group?

Where they arriving into the Arena on each other shoulders, wearing a giant trenchcoat?

Then Last week we were introduced to 5 members who did a promo,well 2 did a promo, and despite their voices Distorted it was clearly Mia Yim and Dominic Djackovic 



So Dominic Djackovic is in this Clown Show? Over Six Foot, Great Athlete, Good Worker, Decent on the Mic He Could be the Break Out Star! EXCEPT~....




As we say in Ireland, LOOK AT THE STATE OF YER MAN!

They shaved in bald and put him in a Bane Mask, that would have being enough, but no! They went and drew two blood red lines from his eyes (I THINK SHAVING OFF HIS EYEBROW FOR EFFECT!) All the way to the back of his skull, looking like he went down on a woman on her period!

This photo was taking from Retribution's Offical debut last week, the 5 Generals, as we learned from Michael Cole, these are NOT THE LEADERS! But 5 Members who  have served Retribution so well they have being granted identities and unique Masks.

The Mic was first handed to the Now Former Mia Yim, who's new name is yet to be revealed, and I couldn't pay attention to Mia's promo, as her mask kept coming off-as if wwe has two Blue haired Asians in their employ, also, Mia is Masked, but she is also Wearing Silver Eye Make-up, That Shimmered under the lights. She is hiding her identity....But she is drawing attention to her face! IT'S COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE!

But it doesn't stop there, Dijack, now T-BAR, takes the mic and cuts a promo, a Promo that will go down next to Steiner Math and "MOMENT OF THE MOMENT, STARTING NOW!" As the worst Promo of the 21 century!

"You (THE SUPERSTARS!) HAVE SOLD OUT! You've become Part of a Corrupt Machine! YOU COLLECT YOU PAYCHECKS.....LIKE WHORES!"

And I must point out as Retribution made their way to the ring, Michael Cole told us that Retribution or least, the 5 Generals have being signed to Contacts, So if the Superstars are Whores for the money, then what are you?

So who is also in Retribution? (That we know of?)

Mace is Dio Madden, Former Raw Commentator , who was taking out by Brock Lesner Last Year, and recently resurfaced on The Equally Stupid Raw Underground. Now wearing a Robotic Mask and combined with his Dreads, looks like a Poundshop Cyrax!

Mercedes Martinez, who has being an Internet Daring for years, So Naturally you can't be a big Star outside the Biggest Company in the World, You have to be treated like a nobody and be saddled with Character Assasination. Her New Name is not confirmed, but i heard rumours it's Mercy or Chainsaw!

And Finally in the Non-descript Hockey Mask, is former NXT Catering Monkey and Australian Job-guy, Shane Thorne, Now called SLAPNUTS! I Mean Slap-Jack, who never really had a chance, since he has 2 strikes against Vince, if Vince wasn't senile enough to forget names "HE'S TOO SHORT, PAL" and "HE'S TOO FOREIGN,PAL!"

So last weeks Shambles Ended with a 6 Man tag between the 2 Masked Men and the 1 Named Masked Child, against the better written Heel Team Of the Hurt Business, Retribution in their first big money match, collecting their Paychecks, LIKE WHORES!....And it's a DQ LOSS....MADE BY THEM! So they can call up the west of the Lollipop Guild to have an argy-bargy to close the show!

It would come to no surprise that WWE higher-ups have no faith in this offensive Gimmick and they even could contain their laughter when Vince asked them what did they think?

Unfortunately, we are stuck with them, Hopefully they are soundly defeeated by Survivor series and RE-REPACKAGED, IS THAT A WORD? To there Former selves!

Well That's it!

How was my First Opinion Piece? There will be more between Pay-Per views But not as Many since i have film reviews on BBO. Speaking of, Join me on Thursday the 1st of October for the Halloween Special. Later this month I will have the last payperview of the year from me, HELL IN A CELL! AND IF YOU WANT TO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER, I'M THERE @RealEnli.

PEACE!

SUMMERSLAM 2020: ASS SURPRISE (yOU'LL nEVER sEE iT cOMING!)

OR SUMMERSLAM....CAN'T WE GET BEYOND THUNDERDOME?

Here I am, defying any new Lockdown restrictions to come in to get this out, and i will get these reviews out, even if i starve myself to afford the credit on for my phone....

First Match, Asuka vs Bayley for the Smackdown Women's championship, a good paced exciting opener, as I expected it to be, Bayley softened up Asuka's Leg, And after a Distraction By Banks, Bayley won with the most devasting move of all...The Fucking Roll-up!

#BANTHEFUCKINGROLLUP!

Kevin Owens Joins Commentary for the Raw tag Team Championship Match between the Street Profits and Garza/Andrade. This Match was Ok, Standard Stuff, Montez Ford got beat down, Angelo Dawkins got the Hot Tag and that was all she Wrote. Kevin Owens did announce that tomorrow on Raw, His guest on the KO Show Will be Aliester Black. Yes! Do Something With Black, Owens vs Black will be something I would pay to see!

And Speaking of Raw Tonight....
Keith Lee has being Called up to Raw. I guess if there is a rematch with Kross, we know who's winning, Don't we?

I was Pleasantly Surprised with the Loser Leaves WWE match with Mandy Rose vs Sonya Deville.
Mandy's new Ring Gear should have told you everything...she is taking this serious! And with all the Build and promos that Sonya Had prior to last night's loss, does that mean her push is over? ABSOLUTELY NOT! WATCH HER BE REVEALED AS THE LEADER OR AT LEAST A MEMBER OF RETRIBUTION!

Worst Match of the Night!
Seth Rollins vs Dominik Mysterio. If I can Channel Jim Cornette, Dominik is a Fishy-White skinned, no Definition, Indie Mud-show Fuck! Dominik is Not Ready! Dominik is Not NXT READY! HE IS NOT EVEN DARK MATCH READY! THIS WAS THE MATCH I FEARED WAS GOING TO BE WORST MATCH OF THE NIGHT, AND I WAS RIGHT! AND I'M NOT A WRESTLER! NOR WOULD I BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY DO FOR 300 PLUS DAYS A YEAR...BUT IF DOM IS SERIOUS ABOUT BEING A WRESTLER HE SHOULD HAVE PRESENTED HIMSELF BETTER! IN CASE YOU CARE, ROLLINS WON!

Congratulations to Asuka for winning the Raw women's championship she should never have lost!

In a Fierce Back and Forth Match, Drew Defeated Randy Orton to retain the WWE championship. Finish was Drew going for the Claymore Kick, only for Orton to go for the RKO, leaving Orton wide open for a backslide!

So if you where expecting, Alexa to be repackaged as Sister Abigail, or Retribution to reveal themselves, you were sadly mistaken. Main Event was Braun vs The Fiend and it was presented as a Heel Vs Heel Match, with noone to root for, this match dragged on! Plus it was a falls count anywhere, so it was just two big bulls in a china shop! The Surprise at the end was not the fiend winning the title, but the return of Roman Reigns, Roman lost a bit of weight he looks to be in fantastic shape, after remission!

Well That's It!
If you think I'm paying for another ppv in a weeks time filled with rematches from this show, YOU HAVE YOUR SHITE!

The Next time you'll see me is the last show ppv i do this year-HELL IN A CELL IN OCTOBER! But I will have content here between now and then, so keep it locked!

PEACE!

Rest of the year schedule.

Hello Everyone, I Hope you are all safe and well in this tough and terrible time. Usually i wont do a schedule update til after Summerslam, but the lack of televised competition (and to any songwriters under #NocredEd employ pretending to be executives, NO! SHITSHOWS ON TINY PHONE SCREENS DON'T COUNT!) Meaning unless MLW reopens its doors before 2021, WWE is the only game in town and as such, the blog is going to seem like that.

SCHEDULE FOR THE REST OF YEAR (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

  • AUGUST-Summerslam
  • October- Hell in a Cell
  • December-CLOSE FOR CHRISTMAS!
THEME MONTHS
It has being a long time since I've Done a theme Month. I have a few Ideas for what i can do in September. but nothing set in Stone just yet! Watch This Space!

OPINION PIECES
Should the wrestling world get rocked by another Death or Controversy, since ppvs are now so few and far between (ok, 2 months because of bills and health!) I will have a obituary piece or an opinion on it! Keep in mind, any opinion unless it's a serious issue will written as sarky and tongue-in-cheek as i am on Twitter.

MEANWHILE ON BOGGER BOX OFFICE!
July is nearly over which means My reviews of Code Lyoko is nearly over. Next week is the season 3 finale and after that i'm putting it on the back burner!

SCHEDULE FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR ON BBO (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

  • Next Monday:Code Lyoko-Return to the past now-Final Round
  • August: My Super Ex Girlfriend
  • September: Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow!
  • October: Halloween Special (TBA)
  • November: Simps of Prey: The Over-Saturation of Harley Quinn's Ass!
  • December: Christmas Special (TBA)
And that is my and your lot for the rest of this terrible, TERRIBLE YEAR!

PEACE!

WWE Backlash 2020: THIS IS THE GRATING SHOW!

Good Morning!
Eamonn Here hoping you are here after not playing a drinking game for everytime Someone said Greatest match Ever or Greatest Show last night, because if you did, well,....
You Are Already Dead" / "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru" | Know Your Meme

Preshow and Apollo Crews Push is real...why? new Music with Lyrics! Apollo Retains the Us Championship with a win over Andrade. Now Andrade can go back to bed or wherever he hid during his paper Championship reign!

To the Show Proper and we start with a 3 team tag match for the Women's Tag Belts against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross, the IIconics and the Champions Sasha Banks and Bayley, and is HEYKAYLA!'S new gimmick is that she is an Idiot? I mean The Champions are about to go out for there entrances and you are out there asking stupid Questions that you could have asked After the Match! Kayla, I think you are not Even A Real Jouralism! Anyway good pacing until Sasha caught Bliss in the most Deadly of Moves...THE FUCKING ROLL-UP!

Following up was the Sheamus and Jeff Hardy Match and Despite the tastelessness from Smackdown, this was a Competitive Back-And-Forth Match! It was also a greatest Hits Match. Jeff hitting all his signatures and Sheamus Hitting his! But in the end, Sheamus Brogue Kick Jeff...like a Bad Habit!

Then we had not one but 2 Garbage matches. Asuka vs "The Annoying Potato" NYEHNYEHNYEHNYEHNYEH-NIA JAX! Went to A Count-out! And Braun retained universal championship when the Gobshite from Mtv and Johnny "I Will Personally Give the last Brick to Tr**p when he Builds the wall!" Morrison, turned on each other when Miz' Pin was broken, by Morrison. This Distraction was all the window the champ needed!

Things Improved with the match for the wwe Championship against Bobby Lashley, Who sprang into action on the behest of the Mastermind planning of One MVP! Bobby latched on the Masterlock (because that's what it is, and i will not correct myself!) before the bell rang and Drew sold it like he just inhaled Poison! Lashley looked Great...until for storyline purposes....THE TAPEWORM Crawled out! Lana's Distraction cost Lashley the Title. Can we please Fire Lana already? The WWE does not need A second Sable! One was bad enough!

The Raw Tag Team Championship match was cancelled due to the time constraints of the pre-recorded Main Event...Which was "Edited with Dramatic Camera Angles and Enhanced Sound for you Viewing Pleasure" This Enhanced Sound was a White Noise Machine that made the Arena sound like it was Haunted by a more excited crowd. This was not a good choice as when the match settled down the White Noise sounded like...well White Noise... and considering that wwe is shown live after Midnight in Ireland, The background Noise may have being Whalesong or A lullaby! I would like to say though, the tribute to Howard Finkel-the Spotlight on his MSG Microphone and the recording of him announcing Randy Orton and Edge, that was classy! The match itself was too long for my liking, but It showed that Edge can Forgo the Chairshots and really Wrestle and Orton could really hang if he wanted to, Allusions to past feuds were added, Orton Using a pedigree and rock Bottom, while Edge used his Partner's Unprettier. In the End of this Grueling Match, Orton Took the Low Road and Kicked Edge in the Love-Spuds and followed up with the Punt. I'm told that During this Match Edge's Shoulder was torn during the first fall to the outside. Thankful it was not the neck!

Well That's it!

I am, after Wednesday taking a much needed Sabbatical. I will be back Reviewing on the 1st of next month on Bogger Box Office. Here though, Unless plans change, i doubt i will be doing anything wrestling related til Summerslam. See you soon and remember to stay safe!

TASTE TEST 2K20: EAMONN REVIEWS MAGNUM RUBY COLLECTION AND MERMAID CORNETTO

Amid the Corona Virus Pandemic, we have reasons to be cheerful, and we have 2 right here!
Magnum is Launching Ruby Chocolate Ice Cream For Valentine's Day
MAGNUM RUBY COLLECTION
Package Colour: Blush Pink With Cocoa Bean Print
Calorie Count: 917
Flavour: Raspberry/Vanilla Ripple Icecream encased in Ruby Chocolate. Ruby Choclate is the recently Discovered Fourth Kind of Chocolate, Creating by Processing the Entire Berry not just the Beans, which are the seeds. Up until recently it was a trade secret Known only to Nestle, But it's still somewhat of a Luxury Item. Side Note: 2019 was the 30th anniversary of the magnum Brand so if Heartbeat had permission last year we could have had Ruby Chocolate for the Ruby Anniversary!
Taste: at 72 grams, this icecream is tiny! Who can something that weighs that much have a 900 plus change calorie count? This is more an Amousebouch than a desert. Be that as it may, the Raspberry like flavour and creamy texture of the chocolate would compliment any one flavour of icecream but to mix it with a raspberry ripple, when the chocolate itself has a raspberry like taste is confusing. It's not bad, i just wish it was bigger!
You can now buy mermaid-inspired Cornettos at Tesco and they taste ...
MERMAID CORNETTO
Package colour: Blue with scale Motif and nautical Decorations!
Calorie Count: 827
Flavour: Raspberry Sorbet, Matcha Green tea icecream, raspberry sauce in a Beetroot wafer cone, half-filled with chocolate, covered in White chocolate balls. edible Silver Glitter and Quote "Blue Nautical themed Biscuit Pieces" in reality they are all Stars!
Taste: Bright pink Sorbet, Nuclear Green icecream, Edible Glitter and Viagra Blue Biccies. Why does it look like a dancefloor after a 90s rave? also why make a "Trendy" Cornetto, putting in a Green Tea icecream and calling it Mermaid? what is the connection, if any? It tastes fine it's just... weird!

Rebellion 2020 night 2: Wednesday Night Heat

Boy, wasn't last week an adventure on my socials? All I can say is that once society becomes close to what it was mere months ago, don't be surprised if ppvs never become tv specials ever again...unless you are Major League Wrestling....you are alright!

And maybe I have to watch a TELEVISED! Show on a phone screen, in a country with third-world quality broadband, maybe I should starve myself to afford a Amazon dongle thing, to watch impact payperviews, and therefore, defeating the purpose of having a tv deal! Or I could just wait til it's televised in Britain, whenever they feel like it! Because God forbid I have to deal with some songwriter defending no cred Ed...without ever telling us WHY? The up to 1 month wait! But now you know, Amazon dongle things for the back of your tv is cost, 200 euro in fact! And week ppvs are 30 euro...keep in mind I'm not buying WWE every month, since every review I make comes out of my own money!

...and night 2 was ok! They should have a title match here, or at least taken the belt off Tessa Blanchard a week ago! Anyway...

And Legend Say Chris Bey and Rohit Raju are performing standing switches on each other to this very day...

As always, the first match was an x division match...I know the dry cleaners here in Ireland are closed due to Corona, and so are the ones in Nashville, Suicides costume is looking Manky! The only thing that stinks more than Suicide... Is the game he came from!

Good match, weak finish, for a guy calling himself a finesser, a boot to the head is hardly poetry in motion

Next is the guy who possibly responable for all the ruptured blood viens in Jim Cornettes forehead, Joey Ryan. Now doing the Right to Censor 2:0 gimmick...going after...Cousin Jake Deaner...yeah it was a squash match that when too long not helped by an ad break that NO ONE asked for! Ryan Won with the most devasting move on the planet...the Roll-up!

#BanTheFuckingRollup!

Next was a Full Metal Mayhem Match...and Quick Question..
Who was the face and who was the heel...ok I get why they had this match...Jordan Grace couldn't attend given the situation and it was not a title match. But Rosemary trying to weasal out of the match against Havok...Confused Me! Halfway through some Woman called Nevaiah, ( whose name I just butchered, and I'm sorry!) Appeared at ringside...and disappeared, just as quickly! Madison Rayne know who is was, but didn't tell us Who she wasEr....that's great you know her....Care to elaborate who she is to the rest of us! Rayne remained schtum before Rosemary won! At least it wasn't another " THE BLADE! THE BUTCHER, THE BLADE!" Moment

And now the main event...keep in mind they could easily just take the belt off Tessa and have the go for the title when she is stateside again but with Elgin, Eddie and 2 men who are now in the main event all in contention. Instead we had a triple threat with Moose, Elgin and Hernadez, it was ok, it was just made worse that it was booked like the defunct that world title meant something....well it means Moose maybe ready for the real thing...but this came off as hokey!

So that's it! If there is even a ppv in June, I will review it and it'll be the last ppv I do before, heading out the country for the wedding...if there is even a wedding still!

Until then see ya!

Impact Rebellion Night 1: #NoCredEd finally let's British Bloggers get paid and fed!

Nordholm: yet Vince, can I borrow your Homework?

Vince: No Problem, just change a few things so you won't get caught, PAL!

Corona Virus is good for something, it finally got impact to show a ppv on time, even it has being downsized to a tv special! I have tagged Impact uk and Ed Nordholm in this review, so they might not even read it, but knowing how they handle ppvs for the britsh audience I'm sure it take between 6 days and 1 month for them to tell me to go fuck myself!

And now our feature presentation!

First was a 6-man tag with Ovarie (because All the Crist brothers can do is Bleed every month!) And Sad man Futon....the man with the size and mobility of a couch! Vs Tommy Dreamer, Rhino and the returning Crazy Steve. Real talk without Dumi Callahan's influence (More on Mr. Buy my Attempted Murder T-Shirt Later!) Jake is actually pretty good. Faces won in a tepid match.

The world title match is jeopardy next week! Tessa is stuck in Mexico, and Eddie Edwards has decided to stay safe.

With one size man match we now follow it up with...another 6 man match! This time a 3 team match between the Rascalz, Xxxl, and the team of TJP and Fallah Baah. The tag match shown had the true strength of the tag division: it's diversity: only here you can see fly flyers and guys that look like XxXl and Fallah returning them in kind, after an exciting bout, the rascals are set to the contenders for the north down the road!

Best match of the night!
Ace Austin defended the X Division championship against Willie Mack, it was the self doubting Mack against the devious Ace, in a match with great pacing action and storytelling, a good 15 minute or so, the 2 had each finish countered so each had to dig deep, but In the end, a stunner off the top rope gave Mack the opening for the frog splash and we have a new champion!

PoundShop Bayley vs Blueberry Ice Alicia Fox in a WWE Superstars type squash match. Kylie Ray, aka PoundShop Bayley, won via submission

And now the main event which was a Cinematic Unsanctioned match between impact hall of famer, Ken Shamrock and Sami Calahan, and it was just a mess! The only thing of value is that it just confirmed what we already know, that the Hacker Gimmick is separate from Ovarie. Last image was Ken Shamrock locking the ankle lock on Calahan in a carpark and walking away from a prone Sami!

Next week Part 2 including what ever decision management has given over the world title picture!
