Jinder Mahal Retains #WWE #Championship #ANDSTILL #SummerSlam #WWECHAMPIONSHIP

For all of the haters out there, Jinder Mahal is STILL the Smackdown Live Champion. I know, I am a wrestling purist and my support for Mahal confuses many out there. However, Jinder Mahal did work his way up to the top and he does deserve the spotlight he is being given. Just admit it. His heel persona is wrestling purism to its maximum. He reminds me of the old school heals that are REALLY hated, and I love him for that. I am so over the heels that the fans cheer for and the good guys the fans boo. What happened to good ole fashion good vs. bad. Well, Mahal gives us that and we should all be thankful. Without a real bad guy, Shinske wouldn't be good and neither would John Cena. 


Further, I don't see Shinske being ready to be WWE Champion. If you haven't noticed, very few superstars come to the WWE from other promotions and dominate the WWE (AJ Styles is the exception). Do you want to know why? WWE is the BIG DOG when it comes to sports entertainment and no superstar bread and created in another promotion can come to the WWE and wreak havoc and become WWE champion. That would in some way insinuate the other promotion is better than WWE. Even though fans hate Mahal (not me), and despite being released and resigned, he is a WWE boy. The truth is, WWE boys should always win. (It also doesn't help that Vince was furious Shinske came millimeters from ending John Cena two Smackdown's ago).

Mahal to me is everything we needed from a champion and I am so glad that we have him. Fans may hate him, I love him. He will do anything and I mean anything to retain the WWE Championship...that is awesome!!! 

P.S. If you haven't realized Mahal is so over in India it is crazy!!! Tonight's victory is already posted on the India Times' website. 

His reign won't last forever, of course. It also may not last very much longer. However, Mahal has worked so hard he deserves some wins. He was at the bottom of the roster and improved and rose to the top. He has a real Cinderella story and he deserves a little more shine. The truth is, he may not get another one. I hope he continues to get better and proves everyone wrong. 

Winner: Jinder Mahal 
Grade: C 

LONG LIVE THE MAHARAJA

The Undertaker vs. Triple H - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

HBK came down to the ring first. The fans clamored to get pictures of HBK...to be honest I would be too. Shawn is still in great shape, now he is the heartbreak grandpa. HHH came out next with a mask on but without the fanfare I expected. He came to the ring pretty fast and it was a pretty basic HHH entrance. He does have new ring gear which is nice. The Melbourne crowd loved HHH. Kane then came to the ring. I love how his name shows up when he walks to the ring it's pretty cool. The Undertaker's entrance of course was epic. All you saw were phones everywhere as fans attempted to snap pictures of the Deadman. The Undertaker looked great in his entrance and brought presence and prestige to the night. (Except for the gray on the sides...Undertaker I never want to see a another gray hair on your head). Fans complain about the older wrestlers taking the spotlight but the Undertaker's presence gives a PPV that extra push that makes it a classic. The match was no disq...

The New Day vs. The Bar - WWE Super Show-Down Results and Grades #SSD #WWE

The show opened up surprisingly with the SmackDown Tag Team Championship title match. This is the second time the SmackDown Tag Team Championship has been the show opener. They were on the pre-show last PPV which technically is a dark match but it was still the first match the fans saw of the night. I am not sure what this means, perhaps the WWE just wants the New Day opening up their PPV's from now on. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as a pairing is just amazing. Their intro tag team sequence was absolutely lightening. Both of them are so coordinated and agile. Kofi shows why he is one of the best tag team champions of all time. Really great showing by these two. Sheamus and Cesaro are good but honestly not as good as Kingston and Woods. At least not as a tag team. However, they play to their strengths which is power, heel tactics and viciousness.  Of course, anyone that uses the Sharp Shooter is near and dear to my heart. I am sure that is homage to Cesaro's friend Tyson...

WWE Super Show-Down Predictions #WWE #SuperShowDown

WWE Super Show-Down will take place in Australia this weekend. While many say that it is a glorified house show, I do not think it is. I think the WWE will use this show to lay the groundwork for Evolution, Crown Jewel, and Survivor Series while simultaneously building bigger storylines. For instance, there are rumors of Kurt Angle's return and Asuka and Dean Ambrose's heel turn. Bobby Lashley and John Cena vs. Elias and Kevin Owens This is an easy match to predict. Cena and Lashley will get the win here. This will likely be the show opener so John Cena can give a big speech welcoming the crowd and exciting them for the night's matches. This will be clear-cut and simple. Delighting the Australian fans while also showing Cena's dominance in his return.  Cedric Alexander vs. Buddy Murphy  WWE Cruiserweight Championship  This match is the biggest toss up on the card. While many fans criticize WWE Super Show-Down as a glorified house show; the WWE ...
