-We are looking for reports from the WWE events listed above and NXT and MLW live events listed below. If you are going to one of these events or another upcoming show and want to help by sending in a report, contact me at dotnetjason@gmail.com
-MLW Fightland is in Chicago, Illinois at Cicero Stadium tonight. We’ll have the full lineup on the main page shortly.
-NXT is in Cocoa, Florida at Cocoa Armory tonight. The company does not list talent for the Florida spot shows.
-NXT is in Tampa, Florida at University Area CDC Gymnasium on Friday with the local crew.
-NXT is in Daytona Beach, Florida at Midtown Cultural Educational Center on Saturday.
-Dot Net voters gave the WWE Crown Jewel event an F grade with 50 percent of the vote. D came in second place with 27 percent. Only 9 percent gave the show a better than average grade. I gave the show a D- grade.
-Voters gave Undertaker and Kane vs. Triple H and Shawn Michaels the best match of Crown Jewel honors. It was a show that was filled with brief matches. I gave the nod to AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe despite the fact that it was short in length.
-Monday’s WWE Raw received a majority vote of C as the letter grade with 36 percent of the vote. I also gave the show a B-. It was an upgrade over last week’s uneventful show.
-Tuesday’s WWE Smackdown received a majority vote of B as the letter grade with 45 percent of the vote. I gave the show an A- grade due to good match quality, a strong promo from Becky Lynch, and because it was a newsworthy show with Survivor Series updates.
