What a week!

Of course, you expect a lot of things to change when the Royal Rumble hits and the Road to WrestleMania begins. But what we got this past seven days from the WWE was simply amazing!

A huge crowd, solid storytelling and a surprise return that’s turned the WWE on its edge is where we begin for that fateful night in Houston.

Roman Reigns keeps his strong Royal Rumble performance going by not only defeating King Corbin in the opening match, but Reigns also goes nearly an hour in the Rumble match itself before being the final elimination by winner Drew McIntyre.

Then, in the women’s Rumble match, Bianca Belair makes her mark with a 33:20 stay and eight eliminations before being ousted. Beth Phoenix not only returns, lasting until the final five, but does it with a gutsy performance that saw her blonde locks turn red after being posted in the back of the head by Belair. In the end, it’s a tremendous finish as Charlotte Flair ousts Shayna Baszler, who eliminated eight superstars herself, with a leg scissors and flip over the top rope. Nice to see Molly Holly, Kelly Kelly and of course, Santina Morella too!

The Fiend outlasts Daniel Bryan to keep his Universal Title. You have to wonder if Roman Reigns is up next for Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania.

Not to be outdone, Brock Lesnar eliminates the first 13 men to start the Rumble match! Now that’s Beastly! In a great bit of detail, Lesnar gets eliminated after Riccochet low blows him (payoff for Brock’s RAW ballshot) and McIntyre claymores Lesnar over the top rope. The shock on Lesnar and Paul Heyman’s face is worth the price of admission. Also, I loved Lesnar’s “who’s this MF’er” when Keith Lee came out at #15. It’s that attention to detail that makes the payoff all the more sweet! It’s almost like we got two Rumbles – the Lesnar part and then the McIntyre part. Well done!

And then, there was Edge! After nine years away in retirement due to his neck injury, Edge comes in at #21 and makes a moment with his former Rated RKO superstar Randy Orton. It wasn’t until one night later that we would see the ultimate payoff in that one.

Oh yeah, nice save Otis! I’m sure Mandy Rose enjoyed the ride!

Star of the Week:

Edge and Beth Phoenix – How could we not give it to the new first couple of WWE? Both returned to the WWE ring with complete fanfare for their Rumble matches. Both showed amazingly well even despite Beth’s injury. Then, the explanation by Edge as to how he came back and subsequent dastardly, cowardly acts by Orton on RAW gave us an incredible end to Monday night and the beginning to what should be a twist-and-turning Road to WrestleMania in Tampa in April.

RAW

RESULTS

Drew McIntyre defeated The O.C. (Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows)

Rey Mysterio,Jr. defeated MVP

Aleister Black defeated Kenneth Johnson

Raw Tag Team Title Match: Buddy Murphy & Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens & Samoa Joe to retain the titles

US Title Match: Humberto Carrillo defeated Champion Andrade (DQ)

Charlotte defeated Asuka (DQ when Kairi Sane interfered)

24/7 Title Match: Champion Mojo Rawley defeated No Way Jose; R-Truth defeated Mojo Rawley; Mojo Rawley defeated R-Truth

Liv defeated Lana

Erick Rowan defeated Branden Vice

What we loved:

R… K… No! Instead of a #RatedRKO reunion, @RandyOrton delivered an #RKO on his former pal @EdgeRatedR. #RAW pic.twitter.com/SaBtASLiDc

— WWE (@WWE) January 28, 2020

The return story – Edge’s explanation, straight from the heart, as to how, why and the struggle to come back to a WWE ring was perfect. And then, to have Randy Orton come out, reunite, hug and then stab his former friend in the back with an RKO left the live crowd and tv audience speechless. Then, a conchairto to further injure Edge’s neck cemented Orton’s dark place in Heelville, a place that suits Orton best. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds.

And if ya don't know, now ya know.#WrestleMania @BrockLesnar @DMcIntyreWWE pic.twitter.com/SVY6onsV9J

— WWE WrestleMania (@WrestleMania) January 28, 2020

Drew picks Brock – Why drag it out! Drew wants Brock. Brock wants Drew. Let’s get to the physicality between these two heavyweights! The question will be how do the fill the six weeks until Tampa with enough intrigue.

Charlotte picks … no one – I, for one, am glad they are not trying to shove another Charlotte vs. Becky match down our collective throats. Charlotte vs. Bayley would be nice. But, I’d rather see Charlotte vs. either NXT Champion Rhea Ripley or Shayna Baszler. Those two matches have a big-match feel to them if built up properly. And oh yeah, BTW, interesting how no one came to Flair’s rescue when she was getting double-teamed by the Kabuki Warriors. Hmmmmm….

MVP’s last WWE match – Even if it was just for 24 hours, we got MVP back and MVP vs. Rey Mysterio, Jr. one more time.

What we didn’t love:

Bye bye Andrade – With his 30-day suspension at hand, you knew they were going to find a way to write Andrade off tv for a month. Humberto Carillo’s face-plant on the concrete floor does that and makes for title match down the road between these two in Tampa. Making chicken salad out of you know what there folks. Had to be done and a title switch was too soon in this feud.

Erick Rowan – broken record for the past countless number of RAW episodes. Squash match, no reveal of the cage. Blah, blah, blah. It better be something good in there!

Liv vs. Lana – After a white-hot wedding, this one’s fizzled out quicker than a candle in a rainstorm. Two minutes for a match and the boys banned from ringside. No payoff on the Liv angle with no story being told. Such a bad follow-up, but not unexpected.

NXT

Finn Balor defeated Trent Seven

Shotzi Blackheart defeated Deonna Purrazzo

Dominik Dijakovic defeated Damian Priest

Tegan Nox defeated Dakota Kai

Kayden Carter defeated Chelsea Green

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Finals: The Broserweights (Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne) defeated Grizzled Young Veterans (Zack Gibson & James Drake)

Things that may you go hmmmm…

What has @NXTCiampa done?!?!?! #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/6Ccp0gqMKS

— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) January 30, 2020

Ciampa vs. Cole – Was it me or did Tommaso Ciampa do all the bad stuff yet still got all the cheers? Beating up The Undisputed Era, bullying his way to a title shot and then signing the contract in his own blood. Don’t get me wrong, Cole’s a bad dude too, I just like the tweener role for both guys who are not quite babyfaces and not quite heels. Grey fits them well. Hmmmm……

Balor vs. Seven – Was it me or did Seven look a little too good against Balor? Just sayin. Hmmmm….

NXT Women’s Championship – With no Rhea Ripley or Shayna Baszler, it left me longing for what they will do next. Seemed odd that it wasn’t even addressed, not even a little bit. Hmmmm…..

COOLEST entrance of the decade right here!

Everyone's talking about @Shotziblack on #WWENXT! pic.twitter.com/VApZ7JtRD9

— WWE (@WWE) January 30, 2020

Shotzi’s tank – If you’re a fan of social media (and who’s not), was Blackheart’s ride to the ring in a miniature tank a nod to AEW’s Sammy Guerra’s knock to the old WWF invasion over the weekend in Sammy’s hometown of Houston? Hmmmm…..

SMACKDOWN

RESULTS

Smackdown Tag Team Championship #1 Contender’s Match: The Miz & John Morrison defeated The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder), The Lucha House Party (Gran Metalik& Lince Dorado), & Heavy Machinery (Otis & Tucker)

Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross defeated Fire & Desire (Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville)

Intercontinental Title Match: Braun Strowman defeated Shinsuke Nakamura to win title

Sheamus defeated Chad Gable

Losers Eat Dog Food Match: Reigns & The Usos defeated King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode

What we loved:

Happy Valentine’s Day Otis – Heavy Machinery may not have won the #1 contender’s match for the tag team titles, but Otis My Man has himself a Valentine’s Day date with Mandy Rose. What could go wrong!

January would end like this.#SmackDown @BaronCorbinWWE pic.twitter.com/5cgTkBPyCy

— WWE Universe (@WWEUniverse) February 1, 2020

The end of Reigns vs. Corbin – Here’s hoping with the dog food payoff by Reigns over Corbin, we get the end to this underwhelming and long feud. Both need to move on.

Champion Braun – Well, it’s been awhile since we’ve seen the exposed turnbuckle backfire but it works to Strowman’s advantage as he wins the I-C Title! Plus, could this be the crack that gets Nakamura vs. Sami Zayn? Shinsuke can’t be happy with Zayn’s mistake that ultimately cost him his championship.

This Week in WWE History – Love looking back especially when we get a Rock vs. Mankind empty arena match from 1999’s Super Bowl to look back at. Halftime Heat was really cool back in the day!

What we didn’t like:

Super Smackdown? – I get that FOX wants to make sure that we know that they have the Super Bowl on FOX Sunday, but there’s was nothing really SUPER about this Smackdown. Good, but not great and no real surprises like we had on RAW earlier in the week. A pair of rematches from past Smackdowns and the Royal Rumble does not make a Friday night SUPER my friends. Next week, we get the return of the Dirt Sheet with Miz & Morrison and Firefly Funhouse.

Parting shots:

I know the Road to WrestleMania is just starting, but I wonder if we’ll get exits including The Undertaker or Ronda Rousey this year. Eventually, I’m sure, we’ll get the very final sighting of the Dead Man, but will it be in Tampa, Saudi Arabia or somewhere else in 2020. As for Rousey, I’d love to see her back, although it seems unlikely according to her social media game.

Welcome to RAW Tom Phillips. It was good to hear him replace Vic Joseph as the voice of Monday Nights. Nothing against Joseph, but Phillips is a bit more energetic for my tastes. Not so sure we needed a return of Byron Sexton though. Phillips and the King would be just fine IMHO.

Smog Veil Records’ Spotify Playlist for Super Fans

From press release:

“When working on a project such as the Schwartz-Fox Blues Crusade featuring Mr. Stress’ (SFBC) Sunday Morning Revival (Smog Veil Records), one often becomes as interested in the music sources and influences as much as the recording itself. As a researcher, I’ve also always been intrigued by the contemporaries of such a recording and what else may have been “in the water” at the time.

Working with Jim Fox of the James Gang and the SFBC and Smog Veil Records chief Frank Mauceri, we’ve come up with a collection of tracks that represent the before, during, and even a bit of the after the recording of Sunday Morning Revival. We’ve also tried to include as many of the songs discussed and mentioned in the liner notes as possible. Granted, there are a few tunes that are not available on Spotify for inclusion on this playlist such as the original version of Pacific Gas & Electric’s “Are You Ready?” with Glenn Schwartz on lead guitar. However, the first PG&E album is available so we’ve pulled two tracks from that instead.”

Please access the Spotify playlist HERE. See full list and more information below.

Notes on Revival: A Schwartz-Fox Blues Crusade Spotify playlist

When working on a project such as the Schwartz-Fox Blues Crusade featuring Mr. Stress’ (SFBC) Sunday Morning Revival (Smog Veil Records), one often becomes as interested in the music sources and influences as much as the recording itself. As a researcher, I’ve also always been intrigued by the contemporaries of such a recording and what else may have been “in the water” at the time.

Part One: Sources explores what we believe are as many of the key influencing versions – both directly and indirectly - of each of the blues covers on Sunday Morning Revival as we could locate. While a song such as “Baby Please Don’t Go” has been extensively covered throughout modern musical history, we picked the versions that we felt led up to the version SFBC performed. In another example, while it is hardly likely that any of the members of the SFBC had heard the Rising Sons’ (an early Southern California supergroup which included Taj Mahal and Ry Cooder) take on “Dust My Broom” as it was unreleased at the time, nevertheless it is an important historical footnote to show that other non-Chicago-based bands were moving in a similar direction as the SFBC. Along these lines, following the dissolution of the Rising Sons, Cooder would briefly join the then heavily Howlin’ Wolf influenced Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band who at this time were also covering “Evil”.

Part Two: Contemporaries and influences in Blues, Folk, Country, and R&B explores some of the music that lead to modern American and British blues rock as well as that which held some influence over the members of the SFBC. While such a compilation of songs could be expanded to huge proportions, we’ve selected some key tracks from a variety of genres, much of which is discussed in the liner notes to Sunday Morning Revival. Also included are “Black Spider Blues” by Robert Jr. Lockwood, who moved to Cleveland in 1960 and was claimed as a native son and local blues hero, and the original “It’s All Over Now” (later covered to much success by the Rolling Stones) by The Valentinos, comprised of Cleveland native Bobby Womack and his four brothers. Jim Fox selected some key tunes by Bo Diddley, Lonnie Mack, Albert Collins, Travis Wammack, and Freddy King, and on a personal note the inclusion of “Grits Ain’t Groceries” by Little Milton is here as it later became a show stopper when covered by the Mr. Stress Blues Blues Band.

Part Three: Contemporaries and influences in Rock, Blues Rock, and Pop examines the incredibly fertile musical ground found during the years 1964 through 1967. We’ve included the prime British blues rock influences (The Yardbirds, Rolling Stones, Animals, Pretty Things) as well as some notable American artists (The Blues Project, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone” featuring Al Kooper of The Blues Project on organ). There are relevant Ohio artists here, such as The Outsiders, The Choir (featuring future members of Raspberries), The Music Explosion, The Human Beinz, and – by Jim Fox’s request – The Baskerville Hounds. We’ve also included the original versions of “Indication” (The Zombies) and “Sometimes I Think About” (The Blues Magoos) that the James Gang recorded on their first demo as well both sides of the first James Gang single that was recorded under the name Bhagavad Gita (listed as The National Gallery here; we’ve include the slightly altered National Gallery version as well). Lastly, we’ve dug up two tracks recorded by Kent, Ohio’s The Measles – then featuring Glenn Schwartz’s guitar pupil Joe Walsh – that were recorded incognito for The Ohio Express’ first album.

Part Four: Moving Further Into The Mainstream looks at moving beyond the SFBC and into the further rise of blues rock into the mainstream. Some of the better known blues rock bands are here – such as Led Zeppelin, the Jeff Beck Group (with Rod Stewart on lead vocals), Canned Heat, and Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac doing their original version of “Black Magic Woman”, later done very successfully by Santana to a point where many folks still do not realize it’s a Mac original. Ohio is also represented by the Tiffany Shade (who featured future members of the Mr. Stress Blues Band and Mink DeVille), the Lemon Pipers (whose hit “Green Tambourine” was engineered by Ken Hamann, who also worked with the James Gang, The Outsiders, The Human Beinz, Wild Cherry, Grand Funk Railroad, Mom’s Apple Pie, and Pere Ubu among many others), and a selection of James Gang tracks selected by Jim Fox (which include post-Joe Walsh tracks with Tommy Bolin and Richard Shack). Lastly, we’ve also included tracks by Pacific Gas & Electric (featuring Glenn Schwartz) and the Mr. Stress Blues Band (featuring Bill “Mr. Stress” Miller and Mike Sands).

As a kind of grand finale, Part Five is the entire Sunday Morning Revival album by the SFBC.

As we mentioned before: Shuffle Play is greatly encouraged. Thanks everyone and enjoy!
