205 LIVE RETRO WORKRATE REPORT EPISODE #2 (12/06/16) (by PHIL RIPPA) Still getting my sea legs with these things so bear with me. Also remember that I am not over as a writer. WHAT WORKED + Again… viewing this in a vacuum… the recap of Rich Swann’s title win was really well done even if […]
205 LIVE RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – EPISODE #1 (11/29/16) (by PHIL RIPPA) For reasons known only to me and my non-existent therapist, I started getting the hankering to do a workrate report again (despite hating the format) when I was putting the NXT Retro Workrate Report archives up. 205 Live has like 60 something episodes […]
(by PHIL RIPPA) THOUGHTS ABOUT NXT (05/01/13) For a brief shining moment, I was doing retro NXT workrate reports. The idea was that, starting in September 2013, I would watch from the beginning of 2013 and do workrate reports for them. I was reminded of them, recently, when I uploaded them onto the main DVDVR […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – APRIL 24, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) This is the NXT “Clash of the Champions”. For some reason I am little sad about them doing this gimmick but we shall see. Maybe because I know Ric Flair won’t be in the main event. WHAT WORKED US TITLE MATCH – Antonio Cesaro […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – APRIL 17, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) WHAT WORKED Look at that – Justin Gabriel vs. Leo Kruger… again. I guess since Mania is over, they can get back to all the random feuds that were happening. I am at the point where they space out these matches far enough that […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – APRIL 10, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) So fucking behind. I had planned on cranking a few of these out during the Winter Break but I broke the W key off my laptop and I wasn’t trying to write one on my iPad so I delayed and delayed. I mean doing […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – APRIL 3, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) Into April! Only Eight Months Behind! WHAT WORKED Poor poor crippled Oliver Gray. Replaced by Bo Dallas. Why they haven’t stripped them of the tag belts yet is beyond me. Anyway – it’s Dallas/Adrian Neville vs. The Wyatts. I have already mentioned how much […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – MARCH 28, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) Yeah… yet again reminded why I really need to write these things as I am watching them. Especially this episode, now I gotta remember what happened. Stupid Road to Wrestlemania. WHAT WORKED Why isn’t Howard Finkel doing the ring intros full time? If you […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – MARCH 20, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) In the full disclosure department – this is the one episode of NXT that I have watched before. Way back when, when I was rummaging around Hulu, I randomly decided to watch NXT and I picked this episode because the screen cap was nothing […]
NXT RETRO WORKRATE REPORT – MARCH 13, 2013 (by PHIL RIPPA) WHAT WORKED Kassius Ohno vs. Derrick Bateman opens the show. I won’t complain though I am really not sad that Bateman is now on Impact where it is so easy for me to ignore him. And God Bless – his punches were definitely destined […]
