To me, wrestling is about far more than just the moves. I want the complete package. Great in-ring action is important, but so are compelling characters, engaging storylines, memorable entrances, impactful theme songs, strong commentary, effective camera work, good show pacing, and polished production. When all of those elements come together, that's when wrestling is at its best for me.

Saturday Shenanigans (November 7th, 2026) xitter.gq/i/broadcasts/2ZBXAjQXd…

WWE Crown Jewel was just under three hours long with four matches. Nothing was bad on the show. I think all the matches were solid, and the main event was very good. Cody vs. Orton was pretty good as well. I wouldn't say it was great overall. It was a good WWE pay-per-view, far from the best but far from the worst. It was right in the middle, maybe a little above average, thanks to the main event. I think I would give this one a 6 out of 10. I would have liked a fifth match. This is one case where I'd say there wasn't enough. It almost felt like a Saturday Night's Main Event rather than a premium live event. I sometimes don't like the really long shows, but this one might have been a little too short. Maybe there wasn't enough substance to really justify it. It was also very predictable, which was an issue. However, I did think that what happened was executed well, which is why I'm giving it a 6 out of 10. It was a good show. Between the main event and the cash-in, you also had the tag team title change, so there were some eventful things that happened. It was a solid show, a solid 6 out of 10, maybe even closer to a 6.5. It was a good show, but I wouldn't say it was a great show. Watch full review at nodq.com/youtube
