Hall’s WWE Smackdown Review 4.23.21   Hello. My name is Thomas Hall and 411 has allowed me to post a review of Raw, NXT, Dynamite and Smackdown every week starting this week. I’ve been reviewing wrestling for over twelve years out of the thirty plus I have spent as a fan so hopefully the learning curve isn’t that steep. I’m certainly not replacing Larry as that can’t be done, but I’ll do my best to follow him. Much like Larry, I don’t rate matches under three minutes as I...

Rollins says he took Cesaro from way down at the bottom, and gave him the performance of his life,...

Former WWE Superstar Chris Masters was recently interviewed by Chris Van Vliet. Check out the highlights below. On a possible WWE Return: “I’ve been out of the company since 2011. I’d love to come back for a Royal Rumble or something like that. I mean you never say never. I feel like they could potentially reach out again at some point. But I’m kind of at the point where at this point I feel like I have been exiled to a certain point. We’ve seen it happen in the past. Like I said, nev...

Hey, I am getting to watch WrestleMania live tonight. No more Secret Hitler or pizza with friends. I get to watch pro wrestling in my basement like a winner! After a night one that started weak (by me; I get it, though.

We have a regular one-on-one match between The Fiend and Randy Orton. We have the best (only good?) ang...
