Smackdown Date: July 18, 2017 Location: Legacy Arena, Birmingham, Alabama Commentators: Tom Phillips, John Bradshaw Layfield, Byron Saxton It’s the go home show for Battleground and Jinder Mahal has brought the Punjabi Prison with him to Smackdown.

We are 24 hours removed from WWE’s Great Balls of Fire PPV and…pretty much everything’s the same, depending on whether or not the writers are satisfied with what they’ve done and moved on to the next thing. But probably not. Let’s see what Monday holds… We start with highlights from last night’s GBOF PPV where…
Welcome to the first wrestling review on Matt’s Entertainment. It’s only fitting that it coincides with the first “Great Balls of Fire” PPV event WWE is giving us. Ironically, the lame name of the PPV runs in juxtaposition with a really good card. Let’s see if the event lives up to billing. We start with…

MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 Season 11, Episode 9 “Yongary” Available on Netflix GRADE: A When you think “Kaiju”, you don’t think of the UK or Denmark…hell, even South Korea seems unlikely because North Korea would just launch a bunch of missiles at the ocean in retaliation.

IRON CHEF GAUNTLET Season 1, Episode 6 “The Gauntlet” AIR DATE: May 21, 2017 GRADE: — Here we are at the finish line for the first season (and, hopefully, the LAST for a long while) of “Iron Chef Gauntlet”. All the other chefs are gone and there’s one remaining who will run tonight’s “Iron Chef…
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 Season 11, Episode 6 “Starcrash” Available on Netflix GRADE: B+ “Starcrash” is the only film I’ve seen which has David Hasselhoff and Christopher Plummer in its cast and doesn’t involve natural disasters while Hasselhoff runs through a burning building in bell bottoms while attempting to rescue his boss (presumably played by Plummer)…
IRON CHEF GAUNTLET Season 1, Episode 5 “Five Ingredients” AIR DATE: May 14, 2017 GRADE: — Last week, we lost Chef Nakajima which, in my opinion, destroyed all of what this show had going for it. This week, there’s a twist: two chefs will go home and the winner of today will face off against the…
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 Season 11, Episode 5 “The Beast of Hollow Mountain” Available on Netflix GRADE: A- If you wanna look on the bright side, “The Beast of Hollow Mountain” is kinda like Marvel’s “The Avengers” in that both films take forever to get to the good part. But then, unlike “The Avengers”, this film continues…
