REVIEW: Elimination Chamber 2017: Last One

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?

Date: February 12, 2017

We’re two weeks removed from the Royal Rumble and that means it’s time for another pay per view.

Tread Carefully: Brock Lesnar Reportedly Faces Backstage Heat Over Royal Rumble Tirade

He’s not like everyone else. There is no one quite like Brock Lesnar in the history of professional wrestling. With his amateur skills, mixed martial arts training and pure strength, Lesnar is not someone who can be duplicated. WWE knows this and has presented him as one of the biggest stars in the company’s history. That does not mean Lesnar is immune to criticism though and now he is in a bit of hot water.

Ouch: AEW Faces Lawsuit Over Using Luchasaurus Mask Without Creator’s Permission

That’s not a good look. The right attire is one of the most important parts of a wrestler’s presentation. Making a wrestler look good is a great way to give the fans a reason to care about them, which can be incredibly tricky. That can involve some very unique looking material, but in a recent case, it is not going well for a current star, as a certain part of his gear is getting him in legal trouble.

Big One: Former Champion Makes Surprise Return On AEW Dynamite

Welcome back. With so many talents on its roster, it can be difficult for AEW to find something for everyone to do. That can make for some complicated situations and occasionally a wrestler will be on the sidelines for one reason or another. An injury can make that even more of a problem, but now a missing star is back and he has vengeance on his mind.

Among them were her return to WWE, dental issues that kept her out of wrestling, how she found out she was winning the Smackdown Women’s Championship and more.
Below are some highlights from the interview:
On returning to WWE:
“I didn’t feel any ring rust. The only difference is being a good guy instead of a bad guy, you know, wanting to tell my bad guy what to do (she laughs), but keep your mouth shut. But no, it’s been great. This is the first time I’ve really committed to being a good guy. Like, I’m all in. There’s no on the fence or I don’t want to do this or I feel awkward.

On dental issues that kept Charlotte out of the ring:
“Literally a week before the wedding, the implant failed. So actually, during my ceremony, I had like 22 stitches up here because they had to cut out the, when it failed, it was an i..
