Vanquish 2021 by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/drugs/suicide

Storyline/Character [Character developments,] Art, Action, Comedy and Performances: all these components combined in one way or another; at the beginning of this film and throughout this opening; we have this black-and-white format of Morgan Freeman and individually Ruby Rose followed by this yellow outline but black in the middle of this title of this film " Vanquish" then we have this rise of Damon Hicks/Freeman [rookie Police Officer] sequence; using newspaper headlines " Rookie Cop Saves" or other visual things or sadly this life changing criminal activity on his doorstep by this drug cartel by the usage of verbal news report but with a news paper on screen as well; the pacing is something safe and reliable.

Later on in this film for one example; we get to experience what Victoria/Rose [the other lead character/performer in this project,] used to be like before giving up this lifestyle; as she is calmly yet intimidatingly in complete control of this situation where she takes this henchman; his name is Biggie Smalls as a hostage until her task here is completed and let's just say she was very good with her brother at their previous life as this will clearly show [full disclosure; but by this point in the film you may have gotten that point already.]

The performances; well they are mostly of a poor standard minus Morgan Freeman, Ruby Rose and I refuse to throw this child under the bus; Juju Journey Brener as Lily.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; now after watching the closing sequence again I get it, but without giving too much away it is a very generic conclusion, I mean I would have preferred to hear this news report something to the effect of " breakthrough in medical science a young girl goes through this procedure to repair ... and it was a great success. These memory recalls from Victoria/Rose are/were so very unnecessary considering we have just seen what she is recapping and not forgetting they are ever so cheap and tacky, Damon's ring tone is irritating it is just this piano sound; yet somehow this film has won an Award; PAGE International Screenwriting Awards 2014; Best Thriller/Horror Script; Samuel Bartlett [writer.] But if there are any fans of individually or together Morgan Freeman or/and Ruby Rose take a look at this title, but I would go in with low expectations.

Apex Predators 2021 [alternative name Apex] by AverageMansReviews

Review Time

Warning: there are flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/animal cruelty/breaking/drugs/decapitation/be heading/cutting/burning

Storyline/Character [Character developments]/Art/Action/Comedy/Performances: all these components combined in one way or another; this film is set down in the model between Hard Target 1993 starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and The Condemned 2007 starring Steve Austin and it also uses these character types minus one character/performer which I will discuss later [now if you don't know anything about these three films; you are either the Hunter or the Hunted and if you survive you get a reward,] the ending of this film leaves it on a question-mark of what happened next? Which if you have been following me long enough unless it is a weird or if it was a location-based film [meaning it began here so when everything has been resolved this film ends when we leave location the film ends which in hindsight this film is, but it brings up Malone family; but we never see any of this] or a part of a series of films I don't like, I really don't like question-mark endings, it just feels even a lazy way to finish a project or I have invested my time in watching this at minimum I want a solid ending and the pacing is likewise safe and reliable.

But however this title right here and right now is just a pile of manure, even though it uses these storylines and character types which in theory should have been something safe and reliable it turns out to be anything but as the Hunters keep turning on one another and the Hunted [Malone/Willis; if you ever wondered what if John McClane/Willis from the Die Hard  franchise would be like if he ever got thrown into prison well this film will show you a little bit of what he could be like; but I digress] is watching from a distance using beautiful landscapes and scenery to hide in or behind; this island is called Apex Island or this science fiction and scenery and so on; these Mongrels [this is an option that can be bought in the game so this is what Dr. Samuel Rainsford/McDonough; they are Bounty Hunters are brought/brought into the game by the game runner [West/Fast; this is a real person, but she appears as a hologram as well; the hologram looks highly creative] or these two Mongrels are searching for Malone/Willis, one of these Mongrels has a bazooka on him, Malone/Willis shoots this one from distance; shoots him and whilst he is dying he sets off this bazooka which not only make sure he is dead but also kills the other one as well and without giving too much away these two bullets colliding near to the end of this film these are good positives.

The performances are mostly poor, it wastes the talents of Willis, McDonough and Alexia Fast puts in a performance to hang out on the porch with Willis and McDonough.

This film receives: 2/10, this film is poor; I know I have spoken about positives which this film has, but it is one of those occasions where; you put it all together and we find ourselves here, but if you are a fan of individually or together Bruce Willis or/and Neal McDonough take a look at this film or take a look at Alexia Fast, but with this project I wouldn't expect too much.

5 things about this episode

Warning: there is flashing/colourful/other effects/environment/transformation

“Starve a flu feed a cold”: Storyline, Action, Character [Character developments] and Blooper; these four components combined here; meanwhile on Earth Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger is doing battle with one of Finster's created monsters [Rito Revolto] he quickly develops symptoms of Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger's illness. The Blooper is; Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger says [this is just an exert] "Maybe you have caught my flu?" Granted as you may have a illness of the cold variety, but no way does she have the flu or give enough of an indication she had the flu, because at no point does she indicate any form of achy pains or feeling or looking like she had been hit by a bus [full disclosure I have never had the flu, but everyone who has says "You know when you have." or something to that effect, but all Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger does is these little sneezes which really doesn't sell she has or had the flu; cold yes flu no and yes Kimberly/The Pink Power Ranger uses this expression “Starve a flu feed a cold” at the end of this action scene.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; it is a solidly good episode.

Review Time:

5 things about this episode

Warning: there are flashing effects/other effects/white supremacy/drugs/hanging/disfigurement/shooting/stabbing/medical/scarring/burning

Very close to midnight on Christmas Eve: Storyline, Action, Character [Character developments:] these components combined and some point in this episode; but for here and now we have Detective Angela Abar the Tulsa Police Department let's just say spending some time with her Husband Calvin "Cal" Abar welcoming in Christmas day. But they had unexpected visitors; it was members of The Seventh Kavalry; it was a surprise, but orchestrated and planned out a mass attack on the Tulsa Police Department where some officers didn't survive, this night is known as White Night,  but the Chief of the Tulsa Police Judd Crawford, Detective Angela Abar, her husband and others survived. But this would signify a turning point in her life as retired/but not retire Detective for the Tulsa Police Department she now goes under another alias Sister Night and uses another new career as a baker is a front. [Yes, just to cover my back and before I receive comments; I know she does some of this in the first episode, where she slowly becomes more and more graphic.]

This 3-D puzzle looks incredibly complicated: Art; we have Topher Abar piercing this silver landscape; it says Magna-Hatton Blocks on the top of this expensive lid with these pieces in their own separate little box within this big box which is light blue with instructions in his bedroom on this small table whilst talking to Angela Abar; this looks really eye-catching and as I have already made reference to looks incredibly complicated.

This episode receives: 8/10, this episode is excellent; it has lots to offer from beginning to end.

Pay-Per-View Rewind of: WWF/WWE Survivor Series 24/11/1988 Match 2/Part 2 by AverageMansReviews - Spoiler Alarm!

Warning/Disclaimer: there is flashing effects/colourful effects and Disclaimer; I am not or never likely to be a professional wrestler.

Match/Stipulation: Co-Captains; the WWF World Tag Team Championships Demolition [Ax & Smash with "The Devious One",] The Conquistadors [Dos & Uno,]  The Bolsheviks [Boris Zhukov & Nikolai Volkoff with "The Doctor of Style" Slick?,] The Brain Busters [Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard with Bobby "The Brain" Heenan] and The Fabulous Rougeaus [Jacques Rougeau & Raymond Rougeau with "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart] vs. Co-Captains; The Powers of Pain [The Barbarian & The Warlord,] The Young Stallions [Jim Powers & Paul Roma,]  The Hart Foundation [Bret "The Hitman" Hart & Jim "The Anvil"  Neidhart,] The Rockers [Marty Jannetty & Shawn Michaels] & The British Bulldogs [Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid:] 10-on-10 Survivor Series Tag Team Match Elimination. [Additional information; if one member of a tag team is eliminated they are both eliminated.]

Match Attributes:

Match Quality: 5/10

Match Storyline: 5/10

Crowd Participation: 10/10

On Commentary: Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse "The Pilgrim" Venture 10/10

Satisfying Conclusion: 5/10

Recommend Watch: 5/10

Match Total: 40/60 - this match is good

Comments: I am going to explain the question-mark against Slick; I am just being observant about this and it is a blooper; The Ring-announcer [Howard Finkel] announces Slick with his tag team The Bolsheviks [Boris Zhukov & Nikolai Volkoff,] but however he clearly isn't anywhere to be seen and based on the fact he is an African-American and the only African American here, he would be incredibly easy to spot wi and yes it has just come to me that Finkel could just be reading this off a card, but it still is a blooper.

Venture makes reference to every team with the WWF World Tag Team Championships Demolition [Ax & Smash with "Devious" Mr Fuji,] has a manager and Monsoon basically confirms this which physically isn't true on this night as we have already discussed.

If you are wondering what we had before the leg slap [being more popularly used by today's standards,] we had the foot stomp sound effect, where performers like to make a foot stomp or feet stomping effect on hitting somebody [speculation/educated guess which I could still be wrong; but I think there was a sound system or something like this under the ring to make this sounds louder] and usually I would give you an example or examples of this but there is plenty of it from Demolition [Ax & Smash] and you will see what I mean, I am not picking on them it is just they are the easiest examples to spot, I mean if you are off the younger generations it isn't something that once you have seen, picks up or learn you can spot it easily.

Pinning attempt by Kid on Raymond Rougeau; Kid goes over Raymond high in the corner and hooks is feet to do this sunset flip pinning move; but the thing is it does look clunky, in fact [this is just an excerpt] Monsoon  says: he didn't completely but enough to take him over but he couldn't hold him down."

Another pinning attempt [small package] this time by "The Hitman" on Raymond Rougeau this also looks clunky in its execution.  Monsoon: What a tremendous move the man who has excellent of execution The Hitman." This is something for you to hear out for roughly around this spot and as I have already alluded to it was hardly well executed.

Now Venture and Monsoon for some reason these two point out that this opponent is making it easy for their opponent to tag out and Monsoon points out; Blanchard tags out without making contact with his opponent first [Barbarian] I didn't know of this rule back then; Blanchard tags in Volkoff [ I will discuss this again later on.] This is why I gave basically 10/10 on these two and the crowd participation, because they were in the case of the commentary team; they were really on the ball and yes you know that I know the commentary team have to sell things with a positive twist if they can and slightly moving on to the crowd let's just say they were there for this match/match slot; like the previous match/match slot they do go quiet for a little bit now and again, but like the commentary team here, it would be extremely harsh for me to give anything less; unless there is some concrete evidence and that is not the case here.

Venture questions a pinning attempt and unlike the previous match he has a very good reason to question it; it is between The Rockers [Marty Jannetty & Shawn Michaels] performing this double team and what Venture is questioning is the legal man and the reason why I have said he has a very good reason to question it; is because after replaying it many, many times; if you are paying attention because if you don't you will miss it; you can see this little tag as he tags himself in, so yes Ventura got it wrong but he had solid evidence to go on and in short Monsoon confirmed it Jannetty is legal.

Barbarian performs this power slam on one of The Conquistador and the ending section of this move just looks too loose and sloppy and a very short time later Barbarians head butts this Conquistador into the other Conquistador which should make this Conquistador the legal man, but the first Conquistador tag in Blanchard after being touched by his tag team partner and after that it gets taken out of the ring by his tag team partner.

Blanchard performs this cross body off the top turnbuckle onto Neidhart and I can only describe it as this; Blanchard keep your feet on the ground and stay with what you know and what brought you to the dance. I mean it doesn't look that bad but you know stay with what brought you to the dance, moving on Ventura questions another pin attempt and this time he got it right, quickly followed by an excellent executed Tombstone Powerdriver with a very similar pinning combination which it happened being best associated with this individual yet [The Undertaker on-screen debut at WWF Survivor Series 22/11/1990; I wonder what ever happened to the guy.]

I don't like how The British Bulldogs [Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid] get eliminated; it is sudden and unbelievable unless wanted to make Smash look incredibly strong, if this was the case I get it. But I don't have to like it and on another observation on The British Bulldogs [Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid's] graphic before this match there is Matilda the Dog, but likewise with Slick and his situation they don't come out with Matilda.

This match slot including interviews after this match goes on for way too long roughly before the next match/match slot you looking at 56 minutes. Which to be fair reflects in my attribute marks; the easy tags escape minus Blanchard [the one I have already made reference to,] extends this match longer than what it maybe should have been. Okay have a very small amount, but when we have Monsoon sounding a little bit frustrated by this and if anyone knows anything about this man; he is/was a well built but placid individual, you know it may be a little bit much. So in hindsight they should have not been given these easy chances to do these easy tags out so much, maybe it would have given this match a better and more consistent get up and go and just for the record this match itself goes on for 42 minutes.]

Basic Result: Co-Captains; The Powers of Pain [The Barbarian & The Warlord with "The Devious One",] The Young Stallions [Jim Powers & Paul Roma,] The Hart Foundation [Bret "The Hitman" Hart & Jim "The Anvil"  Neidhart,] The Rockers [Marty Jannetty & Shawn Michaels] & The British Bulldogs [Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kid.]

Background information: after this match/match slot; I will keep this brief.

Ventura and Monsoon take a look at the video replay and discuss it.

Monsoon hands things to Shawn Mooney; interview with Bad News Brown; in short he talks about what he did tonight and he wants a WWF World Heavyweight Championship match against the reigning WWF World Heavyweight Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage "Mooney sends it back to Monsoon and Ventura they discuss that and then Monsoon sends it to "Mean" Gene Okerlund to interview The Powers of Pain [The Barbarian & The Warlord with "The Devious One" Mr Fuji] to find out what happened out there. Okerlund sends it back to Monsoon and Ventura they discuss that and then they talk about the next match graphics on-screen and they do the same again for the main event. Monsoon sending back to Okerlund to have this interview with The Heenan Family to discuss their 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination Match against the Co-Captains; Jake " The Snake" Roberts [with Damien the Snake] & Jim " Hacksaw" Duggan and their team [which is coming up next on this pay-per-view card;] Okerlund handed back to Monsoon and Ventura they discuss that and then Monsoon hands it back to Mooney which he interviews  Co-Captains The Meg Powers [the WWF World Heavyweight Champion "Macho Man" Randy Savage & Hulk Hogan with Miss Elizabeth] and their team as they go up against Co-Captains The Big Boss Man & Akeem "The African Dream" and their team in a 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination Match Mooney hands it back to Monsoon; Monsoon quickly talk about it with Venture quickly asking Why doesn't Mooney never throw it back to me Gorilla. Which Monsoon just carries on by saying let's go up to Howard Frenkel.

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Survivor Series 2021 by AverageMansReviews

In-depth Predictions/Other elements for WWE Survivor Series 2021 by AverageMansReviews

Just a heads up: these matches may be in the wrong order and when I first began dictating this I haven't been keeping up to date on much of the main roster, but more importantly likewise when I first began dictating this; Monday 15/11/2021 and there are currently only four matches announced, I am sure this will change. But my point here is this; we have only six days before this pay-per-view event and this is no way acceptable, unless of global pandemic scenario or travel issues, it's like they have forgotten they have a pay-per-view this Sunday and not forgetting this very, very big detail. This pay-per-view by its name, reputation and legendary status is meant to be one of the big four pay-per-views that this company has, they shouldn't just be scrambling around just to be put in matches on this card. But then again this is a true reflection of what this company has become; I mean here is a great idea instead of releasing more and more of your talent when you clearly and truly don't need to, how about working on your TV/pay-per-view product instead of working on how to make money in the most quickest way and pandering to the Middle East for large sums of money.

25-Man Battle Royal; 25-Man Dual Branded Battle Royal: my pick is AJ Styles. Just based on it would give him a reason to have a stopgap feud with E for the WWE Championship until WWE Royal Rumble or just before this; let’s face it; this would be good nonetheless, I know there isn't a No1 Contenders, but as I have already said this is a stopgap, if it isn't Styles it will be another veteran from Raw to take the hit without damaging the individual. I would really like to put someone younger over, but this would be a point with exercise if things go the way of think they will go, so I would preferably like to protect them by not using them. If you're wondering which younger talent I would put over/take the opportunity to repackage it would be T-BAR. I mean I heard positive things about Dominik Dijakovic [on the main rosters T-BAR] down on NXT so let's give him a second chance and a fresh start away from the absolute manure show of RETRIBUTION

Men's Team Raw [Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley with MVP & Austin Theory] vs. Men's Team SmackDown [Drew McIntyre, Jeff Hardy, King Woods, Happy Corbin [with Madcap Moss] & a mystery partner; Survivor Series 5-on-5 Elimination Matches: my pick isMen's Team SmackDown. Because whenever I can avoid it I will not say too much here but leave it until the next match/section; SmackDown.

Women's Team Raw [Bianca Belair, the one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Rhea Ripley, Liv Morgan, Carmella, and Queen Zelina] vs. Women Team SmackDown [Sasha Banks, Shayna Baszler, Shotzi, Natalya & a mystery partner;] Survivor Series 5-on-5 Elimination Matches: my pick is Women's Team SmackDown [Sasha Banks, Shayna Baszler, Shotzi, Natalya, and a mystery partner.] The WWF/WWE have always liked to do whomever is regardless of gender the mystery partner has makes a big impact. But having said that I really, really don't care about these Survivor Series 5-on-5 Elimination Matches. I mean I would take all of these Champions off this card from an in ring duty perspective and put them on commentary when they are prospective Championship No1 Contenders Survivor Series 5-on-5 Elimination Match; where the winner or winners of this match take on for an example it could be three survivors for the WWE Championship Match; Fatal-4-Ways for the WWE Championship Match at WWE Royal Rumble 2022 or have mixed Survivor Series Elimination the main roster champions pick someone to represent them in this match, if their No1 Contender is a survivor they get a Championship Match, but if their represent wins they get the title shot or if they both get eliminated a No1 Contenders Match will take place on the go home show of WWE Royal Rumble between this individual and the represent individual to go onto Sunday.

One final thing; so both of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions weren't good enough to be on one team then? I think it is hugely disrespectful for the other half WWE Women's Tag Team Champions  Nikki A.S.H. so as far as I am concerned you even pick both as a unit as they are the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions or not at all unless Nikki A.S.H. which if she is just in case I will apologise to cover my back, but if she isn't my point is extremely valid. [Additional on a very quick research there is nothing to tell me that she is injured currently, so this is a very valid point;] SmackDown.

The United States Champion Damian Priest vs. the Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura [with Rick Boogs;] Champion vs. Champion Singles Match: my pick is Shinsuke Nakamura. Granted I haven't watched any content of anyone's as it relates to the Main Rosters for some time, but with nothing major on the line besides Brand pride which is worth absolutely nothing. I can see them choosing this time to take some shining off Priest here with a dusty finish with him getting probably hit in the face with one of these Championships, by his opponent or is associated and to rub the same it will be done with his own United States Championship. I mean if this took place in NXT or outside of this Universe, I would be really up for this match and this has every potential to be at the very least a match of a pay-per-view contender yes even without any Championships on the line. But because it is taking place in this Universe and more specifically on the Main Roster, it is hard for me to see this getting anywhere near its true potential what with how I think it is going to go as I have already referenced so yes I am not really excited for this match even though in all rights I should be; SmackDown

The Raw Tag Team Champions RK-Bro [Randy Orton & Riddle] vs. the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos [Jey & Jimmy Uso;] Champions vs. Champions Tag Team Match: my pick is The Usos [Jey & Jimmy Uso.] Just because this would be the only slightly positive outcome as in it serves its purpose for them to remain strong as members of The Bloodline with The WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman.] But having said this I really couldn't care about this match; boring. I either have no time for RK-Bro [Randy Orton & Riddle] or the WWE hierarchy have very much ran my interest in The Usos [Jey & Jimmy Uso] bone dry and in both cases it is the same problem having no in-depth Tag Team Divisions on either Main Roster be you male or female is going to eventually crush the diamonds you have into dust in The Usos [Jey & Jimmy Uso] so just before I receive backlash of some description I am very much making it crystal clear here that this tag team is one of the best in the world, but then if they don't have someone other than The New Day [in any combination of two] to throw down with then there is problems, basically in short strong or thriving or progressive Division individually or tag team strong Champion or Champions. There is another way to look at it real vision, real purpose and real leadership from the very top of this company would be an excellent place to start, but I will move on now; SmackDown.

The WWE Raw Women's Champion Becky Lynch vs. the WWE Women's Champion Charlotte Flair; Champion vs. Champion Singles Match:  Becky Lynch. This pick is purely based on backstage politics and other things so I will put things like this; I try to stay away from rumours and speculation or if the speculation or rumours come from a reliable source you know they can still get it wrong but they are somewhere in the right ballpark and what I know after watching some little bits and pieces everything between and these two, speculation the hierarchy of this company including Ric Flair towards Lynch is not okay at the very least. The only reason I am entertaining this is; is because I have been around wrestling for a long time which in this scenario; this hierarchy absolutely loves to punish somebody or if they are leaving so it will tell me a lot or it should tell anyone a lot if everything is okay Charlotte could win, but if everything is not okay and something is happening then Lynch will pick up the W. Or if the hierarchy wanted to be complete idiot's they could have a dusty finish by somebody interfering. But my final point I am really not bothered about this match, because it just reminds me that we have seen this match time after time after time after time and nothing has really moved on, no one has really come through, pushed and stabilised to take over or in the mix, I am aware of Baszler [they have wasted her talents,] Ripley [ as I have already made reference to is currently one half of the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions with Nikki A.S.H., but I will just say it as it is for both of these individuals this is just code language for "Creatively we have nothing for you but here have some Championships to keep you busy in the meantime." As people should know by now I like any tag team wrestling minus the main roster of this company] and Belair, but after she got squashed by Lynch where she became the new WWE Raw Women's Champion at WWE SummerSlam 2021. But I know in one way or another my brain/mind doesn't work properly, but on one hand it would really help the situation if talented performers of any gender were given or better yet allowed to express themselves to make an all-round better product and on the other hand here is just a crazy idea stop releasing talent on a almost monthly basis and for the love of god do us all a favour regardless if you like the WWE or any other organisation I think we can all agree stop telling everyone it is down to "Budget Cuts." Come on this company has masses and masses and masses of money so at least be economical with the truth and say "We are offloading some talent or personnel." I know this is roughly the same thing in practice, but like I said at least be economical with the truth so they can stop lying about it being budget cuts; RAW.

The WWE Champion Big E vs. the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns [with Paul Heyman; Champion vs. Champion Singles Match: my pick is Roman Reigns. This is another situation where it tells us tell us so, so, so much on one hand if the hierarchy of this company sees any long-term or to be fair if they see E as a main event guy or like another member of The New Day in Kofi Kingston and we remember how quickly he fell out of the main event picture. So even though I have gone for Reigns, just based on I know this hierarchy too well there is no major value of having Reigns winning here, I mean at this point you're just putting a little bit more concrete onto to something that doesn't really need it. But if they put E over here there is some hope for is main event career at the very least, I mean because I was working on other wrestling content I did see Reigns being crowned by the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos [The Bloodline] on Friday 12/11/2021 SmackDown, so I have no idea why they don't have this massive scramble in this match/match slot between these two factions/stables, so that with all this confusion somehow E rolled up Reigns, so Reigns is protected from the loss, I know a roll up or something similar to this isn't that great but we will take it. I have always seen E as a big deal even with his five gimmick in NXT, you know you could see he was going to go places and now he has gotten to the top he should as I have already indicated he should remain around there for some time. But back into reality I fear that the hierarchy of this company may take this opportunity to have The Bloodline squash The New Day to sit back E has the WWE Champion, Xavier Woods as his new gimmick of King Woods and no disrespect intended to Kofi Kingston, but his career as very much settled back into mid-card mediocrity, but at least he can now say I held the WWE Championship for 180 days. I know he has won many Championships either individually or as a tag team, but he just needed that big one, to finish off his collection, don't worry here is many years left, but at the end of the day he can retire happy knowing he has been all round the wrestling stages of his career. But to finish off this prediction here and now I would like to highlight again in short, I would be really happy to get this particular wrong ; SmackDown.

So as you can see out of 7 matches; I have SmackDown: winning 5 and RAW: winning 2. So I take it SmackDown is still and continues to be the flagship show of these two main rosters/brands; how far RAW has fallen from Mount Olympus over these past many years.



Spoilers incoming!






Mystery partners: for the Survivor Series 5-on-5 Elimination Matches: for the men's it was Sheamus, And for the women's  it was Toni Storm full disclosure now on some research I knew this when first putting this blog together, but this company went with the mystery or question-marks over these spots, so I went with it just in case is Mr McMahon changed his mind at some point which is well known for doing At any point.

Advertising Prince Dax/The Mask Rider: Storyline, Character [Character developments,] Action and Comedy these components all combined in one way or another; Prince Dax/The Mask Rider tells our Earth 5 Power Rangers the situation on Edenoi and then separately how he came to be The Mask Rider by the usage of this crystal on his forehead better known as a Mind Crystal [to one another and into images in a square.] Then later on we have The Five Earth Power Rangers and Prince Dex/The Mask Rider taking on these ground forces of Count Dregon [Cogwarts, Plague Sentry and Plague Patrol] and at points we have The Power Rangers saying one-liners as they are putting foot to posterior; for an example; this Plague Sentry charges towards Tommy/The White Power Ranger on horseback with a staff like weapon saying " Your going to pay for your meddling, earthling." With Tommy/The White Power Ranger running towards this individual he says "Ha! I think you should come off your high horse! With that he performs a jumping/flying side kick which hit this Plague Sentry in the chest and off his horse, but after taking this hit he is able to adjust and land on his feet to continue this battle.

This episode receives: 6/10, this episode is good; it does what it is designed to do which is to continue this ongoing saga and to clearly advertise Prince Dax/The Mask Rider in as I have previously mentioned in the previous blog his up-and-coming self titled TV program Masked Rider 1995-1996 1 Season [40 Episodes] and don't worry I will not bring this up for a third episode in a row, because I will be concentrating on Earth in the final episode of this trilogy.

Storyline/Characters [Character developments]/Action/Comedy/Performances: now and again at some point these components combined; the storyline is something solid; the viewers meet this criminal in doing this criminal activity, accompanying this criminal activity the viewers here these many news reports of this criminal quickly getting a reputation and get given the name of "The In-and-Out Bandit" or his real name is Tom Dolan/Neeson that is also an ex-US Marine and demolitions expert, but will do the right thing to have a clean start with his girlfriend Annie Wilkins/Kate Walsh, but this goes far than according to plan. The pacing for most part until roughly around Tom Dolan/Neeson seeking revenge is slow and steady and then after this it gets fluently moving with a get up and go to it.

I will give you a somewhat detailed description of this action and comedy sequence of events, but I will miss out some bits and pieces, because I don't want to give too much away. So we have Dolan/Neeson and Wilkins/Walsh sitting outside in his van on the far side of the street from FBI Agent John Nivens/Courtney house/home, he telephones FBI Agent John Nivens/Courtney, I am paraphrasing here; if he is going to confess which in a nutshell he declines, so Dolan/Neeson begins counting from 10 downwards with this device in his hand, which FBI Agent John Nivens/Courtney get the idea he isn't messing around so he quickly escapes from his house just in time before it explodes, Wilkins/Walsh is briefly amazed by what she sees and to finish off this section Dolan/Neeson does say and this is just an exact "If I wanted you dead you would be dead." To highlight that he doesn't miss; this is all good.

The performances are good or if this is what the director Mark Williams [written by him and Steve Allrich] was aiming for they gave it to him.

 This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; as this relates to my previous comment these FBI characters to begin with are blasé about this confession by Dolan/Neeson and I get why what with other people claiming to be "The In-and-Out Bandit" but there is being blasé and then there is being; being polite " We couldn't care less" this in turn doesn't help this film in the slightest it takes the entire cast to get this film on track again, so after this I would say combined with the pacing getting up and going, and character types and the performances but however if you are a fan of either Liam Neeson, Kate Walsh [associated with the US TV program Grey's Anatomy from 2005 to 2012 and 2021 amongst other things,] Jeffrey Donovan as Agent Sean Meyers [best known for the US TV program Burn Notice 2007-2013 as the lead character Michael Weston and the TV film Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe; character of the same name,] take a look at this film and finally when this was first dictated this project has one Nomination to its name Hawaii Film Critics Society 2021; HFCS Award; Worst Film of the Year.
