Very good show
I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw
Very good episode,
imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.
Great episode.
Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.
They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner
Very good show
honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.
Great episode.
The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match
Great show
Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.
Very good show
You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.
This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.
The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.
Great show
So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.
The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!
And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.
Great show.
I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.
Storm vs. May
Mox vs. Cope
Hangman vs. MJF
Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners
Takeshita vs. Omega
Swerve vs. Ricochet
Okada vs. King
Mone vs. Watanabe
Ospreay vs. Fletcher
Great episode.
Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.
it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.
Very good show
I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.
Great show.
I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.
best of the best
Very good show tonight

The Calm Before the Storm: A Deep Dive into UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano
The air crackles with anticipation. The whispers have turned into roars. The stage is set for a clash of titans. On January 18th, 2025, the UFC octagon will become a battleground as two of the lightweight division’s most formidable forces, Islam Makhachev and Renato Moicano, collide in the main event of UFC 311. This isn’t just another fight; it’s a potential watershed moment for both fighters, a chance to solidify their place among the elite and stake their claim for a shot at the coveted lightweight title.
This preview isn’t just a simple breakdown of the fighters’ records. We’re diving deep, dissecting their styles, analyzing their paths to this pivotal moment, and exploring the narratives that make this matchup so compelling. Buckle up, fight fans, because UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano is shaping up to be an absolute barnburner.
Islam Makhachev: The Heir Apparent
Islam Makhachev is no stranger to the spotlight. Often touted as the protégé of the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov, Makhachev carries the weight of expectation on his broad shoulders. But he doesn’t just carry it; he embraces it. His record speaks for itself: a dominant force with a suffocating grappling game that has left opponents helpless.
Makhachev’s style is a relentless pursuit of the takedown, followed by a masterful display of ground control and punishing ground-and-pound. His sambo background provides him with a diverse arsenal of throws, trips, and submissions, making him a nightmare matchup for anyone who isn’t comfortable on the mat. But to simply label him as a pure grappler would be a disservice. Makhachev’s striking has evolved significantly in recent years, showing improved power and accuracy. He uses his striking primarily to close the distance and set up his takedowns, but he’s more than capable of holding his own in stand-up exchanges.
The narrative surrounding Makhachev has always been about his potential. Can he live up to the lofty comparisons to Khabib? Can he carry the torch and continue the legacy of Dagestani dominance in the lightweight division? This fight against Moicano is another crucial step in answering those questions. A decisive victory would further cement his status as a legitimate title contender and silence any remaining doubters.
Renato Moicano: The Silent Assassin
While Makhachev often finds himself in the media glare, Renato Moicano has quietly built a reputation as one of the lightweight division’s most dangerous and underrated competitors. The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt is a master of the ground game, with a slick submission arsenal that has earned him victories over some of the division’s toughest grapplers.
Moicano’s striking is often overlooked, but he possesses crisp boxing and a dangerous kicking game. He’s a well-rounded fighter who is comfortable in all areas of the fight, making him a difficult puzzle to solve for any opponent. His resilience and fight IQ are also key attributes, allowing him to adapt to different styles and find ways to win even in challenging situations.
The story of Moicano’s career has been one of perseverance. He’s faced setbacks and tough losses, but he’s always bounced back stronger. This fight against Makhachev represents a massive opportunity for him to elevate his status and finally get the recognition he deserves. A victory over a fighter of Makhachev’s caliber would catapult him into the title conversation and establish him as a true force to be reckoned with.
The Clash of Styles: Grappling Masterclass Imminent?
The most intriguing aspect of this matchup is the clash of styles. Both Makhachev and Moicano are elite grapplers, but they approach the ground game from different angles. Makhachev’s style is about relentless pressure and control, while Moicano is more opportunistic, looking for submissions from various positions.
Will Makhachev be able to impose his will and dominate Moicano on the ground? Or will Moicano be able to use his slick submissions to catch Makhachev off guard? These are the questions that will be answered inside the octagon on January 18th.
However, to assume this fight will be solely a grappling affair would be a mistake. Both fighters have shown improvements in their striking, and it’s possible that the fight could spend more time on the feet than many anticipate. Makhachev’s improved power could be a factor, while Moicano’s technical striking and movement could pose problems for Makhachev.
The Stakes: Title Implications and Legacy Building
The stakes for this fight are incredibly high. For Makhachev, a victory is crucial to solidify his position as the next challenger for the lightweight title. It would also further solidify his legacy as a potential successor to Khabib. For Moicano, a win would be a career-defining moment, instantly elevating him to the top of the division and putting him in line for a title shot.
Beyond the immediate title implications, this fight also has significant implications for the legacies of both fighters. A win for Makhachev would further cement his status as a future star, while a win for Moicano would be a testament to his resilience and skill.
Prediction: A Fight Too Close to Call
Predicting the outcome of this fight is incredibly difficult. Both Makhachev and Moicano are incredibly talented fighters with the skills to win. Makhachev’s relentless pressure and dominant grappling could be the key to victory, but Moicano’s slick submissions and well-rounded game make him a dangerous opponent for anyone.
This fight has all the ingredients of a classic. It’s a clash of styles, a battle of wills, and a pivotal moment in the careers of two of the lightweight division’s most exciting fighters. One thing is for sure: fight fans are in for a treat.
