Welcome to another edition of SUPERSTAR SCORES ! For entry #22 in this series, we'll be focusing on WWE's most recent retiree, Paige, who officially ended her in-ring career after WrestleMania before transitioning immediately after to becoming the new general manager for SmackDown Live following Daniel Bryan's return to action. If you're unfamiliar with how the segment works, here is a quick breakdown: Each edition, a wrestler will be put under the spotlight and rated on a 0-100 scale based on 10 categories that have been broken up into 5 umbrella sections: In the Ring Skills , On the Mic Skills , Appearance , Behavior , and Crowd Reaction . The rating scale is as basic as you can get: 0-1-2-3-4 | 5 | 6-7-8-9-10 . It follows the Three-Count Critique method of green being the good, yellow being in the middle, and red being the bad. A perfect 100 is the goal. PAIGE IN THE RING SKILLS Athleticism: Does the person have a good signature moveset and finisher? Can they perf

Welcome to another edition of Battle of the Brands from Smark Out Moment, where we compare this week's episodes of Raw and SmackDown and determine which one of the two was the better show. WWE Monday Night Raw - May 21, 2018 - Times Union Center in Albany, NY WWE SmackDown - May 22, 2018 � DCU Center in Worcester, MA BATTLE OF THE BRANDS: RAW vs. SMACKDOWN FACTOR 1: CROWD Neither show was over-the-top great, and that means neither crowd was either. When the matches were good, which Raw had a few, the Raw crowd was into it. For that, they get the win here. WINNER: Raw FACTOR 2: COMMENTARY I am struggling more and more to see any distinct differences in these commentary teams. You can tell they have outlines as commentators since both shows sound so similar. If I am goin strictly off personnel, it's Raw. WINNER: Raw FACTOR 3: MATCHES The only important matches on SD Live were Lana beating Billy Kay for a spot at the MitB.. Yes, Lana is in a ladder match.. The Good Brothers got

Welcome to another edition of WOMEN'S WRESTLING WEEKLY�a rundown of the events which have transpired in the world of women's professional wrestling over the past several days not just with the Superstars on WWE programming, but with Impact Wrestling's Knockouts, Lucha Underground's luchadoras, and even a glimpse at the women on the independent circuit. Money in the Bank is fast approaching, and there is certainly a lot to discuss! Unfortunately, Impact was devoid of any matches to discuss, but WWE certainly gave us a lot to talk about, so let's dive right in! WWE Monday Night Raw Alexa Bliss vs. Ember Moon Hey guys, if any of you were worried about the strength of Alexa Bliss and Mickie James' friendship after last week, I have some good news for you: none of that mattered! James and Bliss are just fine after last week's complexities. James was right there to provide some useful distractions early on in the match that allowed Bliss to take control early on.

Welcome to another edition of POWER RANKINGS from Smark Out Moment! Each week, we will break down the current roster and examine who has gone up the WWE hierarchy and who has unfortunately taken a step down the ladder. Factoring in things such as wins and losses, suspensions, injuries, making a name for one's self, being humiliated, and more, who is at the top of the food chain and who needs to make up some ground next week? Here is the key code for the rankings shorthand when referencing their position in relation to the previous week: NR = Not included in last week's rankings at all + Green = the number of moves up in the rankings compared to last week - Red = the number of moves down in the rankings compared to last week Honorable Mentions = five superstars who just barely missed the cut 25. LARS SULLIVAN [ NR   FIRST TIME RANKED ] Lars was in a handicap match against both Dream and Ricochet. After team turmoil, Lars scored a victory on his path to Alesiter Black. 24.

Welcome to another edition of Cheap Pop and Cheap Heat from Smark Out Moment! Each week, we break down the world of professional wrestling and examine two of the polar opposite ends of the spectrum: one thing that was by far the worst thing (Cheap Heat) and the best thing (Cheap Pop) to happen over the past 7 days in sports entertainment. So, what went down this week that we loved and hated about the business? CHEAP POP OF THE WEEK: A+ FOR THE B TEAM I am loving the push that Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel have been getting as of late. While I initially thought that all signs pointed to them joining Woken Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, I think that this B Team gimmick is a much better place for them right now. It is hard to not get behind their hilariously over the top victory celebrations, their unbridled enthusiasm, and the feel-good factor you get from seeing the success of men who have previously been positioned as perpetual jobbers or fall-guys. Their whole story is relatable to anyone w

Welcome to another edition of Triple Threat from Smark Out Moment, where three of us get together to discuss three questions based on one big topic going down in the week of professional wrestling. This week, Jonathan Maldonado, Robert DeFelice and Callum Wiggins will share their thoughts on the developing storylines in the third week of Money in the Bank season. Let's discuss... Question 1: Seth Rollins continued his hot run picking up the win in his tag match with Roman Reigns on Raw. The Intercontinental Champion is still without a clear challenger for his title at Money in The Bank. Who do you see filling that void? MALDONADO: This is an interesting story for World Wrestling Entertainment to mess around with. The usual suspects are all involved in the Money in the Bank match as of now, except for Elias. With Raw already sending four superstars into the match, I imagine they keep an even split between Raw and SmackDown. That means the final spot to be determined will go to an S

Do you have a question that you want to ask the minds over at Smark Out Moment? Our version of the WWE Inbox is the Smark Out Moment Mailbag. Once a month, we set aside some time to answer any of the questions on your mind, whether they be wrestling related, trivia to try to stump us, or just general questions to get to know Tony Mango and the other members of the team better. Here are your submissions for this month: Sent in from Ben W Question: "Is it fair to say Sasha Banks is the best in ring performer of any of the women on any roster in WWE today? I mean she's literally given, Asuka, Charlotte, Bayley, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Alicia Fox, Nia Jax, Sonya Deville, Paige & even fucking Ruby Riott the best matches of their careers!" Answer: Banks is certainly in the running, if not at the top. I think Flair might have surpassed her, but if not Flair, I think I'd go with Banks. Question: "Who do you think WWE will choose as the cover star for WWE 2K19?&qu
