-NXT is in Dayton Beach, Florida at Midtown Cultural & Educational Center on Saturday with the local crew.
-The WWE Greatest Royal Rumble received a majority C grade vote with 35 percent of the vote. B trailed by just two votes. I gave the event a C grade and felt like it was a big lineup with house show level finishes in most of the matches. The best match on the show was the four-way ladder match with Seth Rollins vs. Finn Balor vs. The Miz vs. Samoa Joe for the Intercontinental Championship with 41 percent of the vote.
-Monday’s WWE Raw received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 38 percent of the vote. I gave the show a B with a big assist from the Montreal crowd.
-Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown Live received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 36 percent of the vote. I also gave the show a B grade.
-The Impact Wrestling Redemption pay-per-view grade came it as a tie between A and B with each getting 39 percent of the vote. I gave the show a C-plus, but it was certainly an A grade compared to just Impact pay-per-views over the years. The readers voted Austin Aries vs. Fenix vs. Pentagon Jr. for the Impact Wrestling Championship as the best match with 64 precent of the vote.

-Happy birthday to my brother Bryan.
-Steve “Monsta” Mack is 38.
