Smackdown and Monday Night Raw Review on 5/28 and 5/29

Image
Smackdown I watched live this Tuesday the 28th but I watched Raw on Hulu this week. Smackdown starts off with Samoa Joe entering the ring. Joe pulls out a ladder and climbs up to the Money in The Bank and grabs the case. Than he grabs the mic and talks about Ladders and Heavens. Bryan comes out with threats and says they can fight right at this moment. However Big Cass comes out. He calls them the Shrimp and the Blimp. He says the match is not going to happen between Joe and Daniel. Apparently he is cleared as Cass takes it to Daniel and Joe and walks out of the ring. Highlights from Smackdown: Paige is headed to the ring and Soyna and Rose comfort her about Auska and she makes a match Rose vs Auska. After the match Nakamura nails Tye Dillinger and counts to 10. AJ Styles at an interview comments about his Last Man Standing Match at Money in the Bank. Lana is shown with Rusev and English getting ready for a dance off. New Day is shown in the back and The Bar is tossing Pancak

Off the Grid living: Compost vs Composting Toilets

Image
As a child in the 80s, I lived with my parents on a farm that was off the grid. It gave me a compassion for wanting to continue that in my adult life as well. Not only have I lived the off-the-grid life, but I've done a lot of research on ways to modernize Off the Grid living. One of my biggest pet peeves and research areas for me, is the Composting Toilet. When you look on the internet, you find a lot of people who are confused between the concept of a Compost Toilet versus a Composting Toilet. A compost toilet, is one that is usually a bucket under a toilet seat frame. An outhouse is also acceptable under this list. A compost has no mechanisms, no flushing, and is usually something that is taken out to a compost pile on a daily or semi-daily basis. Sawdust, wood chips, peet moss and other natural compounds are used to cover the waste product that is in the bottom of the bucket or hole. A composting toilet has a mechanism which means it is self composting, and it does the

Outlaw Review of Fuddruckers The World's Greatest Hamburgers

Image
We decided to visit Fuddruckers World's Greatest Hamburgers in Sparks Nevada near the Sparks Marina today for our first time. The restaurant is next to Sierra Sids Casino and Truck stop on 200 N McCarran Blvd. The restaurant was nice, the restaurant was clean, but the menu was not what we expected. Do they have a good menu? One of the things that I really hate about restaurants like Fuddruckers when you order a burger it should come with fries. The drink is usually a separate charge so I am not including that. I also do not like places that add on chargers for every little thing. Annie got a cheeseburger cost $5.49 and I got the Buffalo Burger cost $9.99. Add an extra $3.99 for fries and a drink. Total cost of the meal around $21.00, would had been $24 but I did not get fries or a drink. Another thing we did not like is the server brings out the plate with just the burger and fries and you have to get up and add all you extra stuff you want on your burger. Why can

Have many sports have forgotten the FANS are who pays the bills?

So here we go down this road of fans and sports and the twist and turns of Sports in America and the World. As many of you out there probably like me LOVE SPORTS. I like all sports all levels that is why I have had my company OUTLAW SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT for nearly 16 years to date covering a massive variety of levels of sports. I have always thought fans should have a louder voice and be heard a little more by all levels of sports. Recently with events about the National Anthem in the NFL who saw a huge drop in TV ratings and fans in the seats took a lesson of the power of the fans. Face it you can have any type of sport but if fans are not into the sport what happens it closes or dies out I give you the XFL, UFL, and other sporting leagues that have dies out or closed the doors because fans lost interest or found other sports more entertaining or the sport had a lot of other issues. Even the big boys like the NBA, NHL, MLB, NCAA, NFL are at the mercy of fans. TV deals and comme

TACO JOHNS REVIEW by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik

Image
Taco Johns is a fast food place located at 770 S S Wells Street in Reno Nevada. While there menu is pretty good and the food was good prices it was really the customer service that blew me away. A person who was at the cashier station was named Mike and he was so polite and taking time to explain what was on the food I was ordering. I really recommend checking Taco Johns Out!

What happened to the Arena Football League ?

The AFL or Arena Football League was established in 1986 and started the first season in 1987.  The game is played indoors on a field 66 by 28 resulting in a fast paced and high scoring game.  From 2000 to 2009 the league had a developmental league called AFL2.

WWE stock is making all kinds of news on the stock market. A stock that on May 24th 2013 sold a little over $9 per share. For the next several years the stock rumbled a bit hitting a high of $30 on May 21st 2014. The stock stayed in the $20 range after that till recently when the stock started to climb on news the company had struck a new deal with  a lucrative TV contract  with the flagship show called Monday Night Raw shown on Monday nights on USA. This stock offered share holders about ,50 cents dividend on each share of stock.

However it may end the live feed

WWE STOCKS SORE BUT VIEWERSHIP IS DECLINING

Image
The WWE should be proud as a company in whole as the stock on the NYSE hit $50 closing on May 17th 2018 with an announcement of the new contract with NBC UNIVERSAL for Monday Night Raw on USA Network on Monday nights. The deal is being reported to be worth 400 million dollars per year for the WWE Company. However there is some bad news along with the good the other show called Smackdown was not re-signed in the contract according to reported sources. It seems WWE will need to find a new home for this show and there is not currently a reported party that has come to the table as of yet. Seems WWE is thinking of several ideas including of just putting Smackdown on the WWE Network. There has been some talk from WWE about placing the show on Fox, Amazon, or Facebook as well. According to WWE the WWE NETWORK is currently at 2.12 Million viewers. There also is talk of extending Smackdown to a 3 hour show as well for better advertising time and more story lines. VIEWERSHIP IS AT THE

US SUPREME COURT OPENS UP SPORTS WAGERING IN ALL STATES

After the US Supreme Court voted 6 to 3 to open the US to Legal Sports Wagering. However it is not going to happen super fast. The NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL are already tossing up road blocks. The NBA says it wants 1% all of wagers made on the NBA, and the NHL also jumped on board with this. New Jersey will most likely be the first State to open up the sports wagering as companies like WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK is already set up and hiring people for books. States to follow Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and West Virginia. A number of other States could follow in the following months. It is estimated 150 Billion dollars is bet illegally on sports. How will this affect NEVADA? Currently mostly it seems as the Eastern States are jumping on the Sports wagering band wagon but as soon as some of the Western States like California, Oregon, Arizona and Texas jump on board it could effect some sports books in Nevada. Some of the smaller books could close or become ki

Have you heard of Spikeball?

Image
It is played 2 vs 2, with a taut hula hoop sized  Spikeball  net placed between the teams. A player starts a point by serving the ball down on the net so it ricochets up at his opponents. They have up to three hits between them (just like Volleyball) to control the ball and bounce it back off the net. Spikeball  is a team sport played by two teams of two players. ... The object of the game is to  hit  the  ball  into the net so that the opposing team cannot return it. A team is allowed up to three touches to return the  ball.

Monday Night Raw starts off with Kurt Angle walking to the ring with the usual YOU SUCK chant from the fans . There was little fan fare about Backlash on Sunday on Raw tonight Angle talks about the recent schedule of the WWE.  As Braun Strowman enters the ring. Crowd chants GET THESE HANDS.  Kevin Owens comes to the ring as well. Kevin Owens says he is a VIP of WWE  Kevin goes on about Strowman being a BAD MONSTER . Kurt Angle finally makes a match. Roman has a point the WWE is screwing him. As he says he is going to win tonight. Raw goes to several stars talking about Money in the Bank.

What Happened at WWE BACKLASH by OSE

BACKLASH kick off show starts off with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axle and the Miz shows up. As Miz expected Bo Dallas and Curtis Axle to go with him to the ring I guess but they call it. Billy K and Peyton Royce show up at the announcers table. The whole comic style needs work from these 2 women. Bailey is shown in the back with Banks. This eventually is going to go south so my prediction is one of them will go heel soon. Rumors have it surprises and shock may be in store as viewership has been down on Raw and Smackdown lately. KICKOFF MATCH: BAYLEY vs RUBY RIOTT: As normal WWE takes a moment on the match to go to promos but the fact the the Riott Squad cheats often using Sarah Logan and Morgan Liv on the outside of the ring does not do well for Bayley. Riott face plants Bayley but no cover. Cheap shot by Logan and Riott Squad cheats and Riott attempts a pin. Riott attempts another pin after Bayley hits the corner pads. Bayley attempt's a pin after a move from the top rope. Bayle

Johnny Rockets Review by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik

Image
Johnny Rockets is located a t Grand Sierra Resorts at 2500 E Second Street Reno Nevada. Once upon a time ago this restaurant was out on the main floor near the sports spook back in the day when the casino was called the Reno Hilton. However over the years and sale to Grand Sierra Resorts they decided to move the restaurant.  Grand Sierra Resorts in the process of remodeling the casino moved the  restaurant down into the bottom area of the convention area in the Grand Sierra Resorts. The bad part is if you do not look or have knowledge this restaurant is in the casino you may not even find it. In a way it was really sad they decided to move this restaurant it is one of the original burger places in Reno Nevada. The Menu is pretty simple but has enough choices for a lot of people. One thing I liked because my younger daughter is a veterinarian they offer 2 veggie burgers. However it did cost me $14.25 for a  burger, fries and an ice tea. This may be normal for a casino howev

How to Bet on the Horses by The Outlaw Micheal Tomsik

Image
The Kentucky Derby is on May 5th 2018 and is followed by the Preakness and Belmont often called the Triple Crown . However in America there are a lot of horse tracks still in operation and even though horse wagering has become less popular lately it is still big business for Sports Books and Tracks. First of all you need to ask a question at any place that has horse wagering are they offering PARIMUTUEL or NON-PARIMUTUEL wagering. There is a big difference on how the payouts work with these two ways of horse wagering. Most casinos in Nevada that have horse wagering offer Parimutuel wagering. Most race tracks that offer satellite wagering have Parimutuel. However if it is NON-PARIMUTUEL the pay outs are limited meaning that if your wager hit you may only get paid up to a certain amount on the wager. That is another thing often sports books in Nevada offer multiple tracks to wager on and tracks and places outside of Nevada that offer horse wagering also offer satellite wagerin

Outlaw review of Avengers Infinity War

Image
As my daughter and I decided to check out the movie AVENGERS INFINITY WAR. So I warn you that I am ruining the end of the movie so BE WARNED SPOILER COMING! I have to Admit Alyssa and I have missed a lot of the movies leading to this movie so there are a lot of questions and comments in my review that most likely reflect this. However all the theaters where full. This movie is breaking all kinds of records in the box office. So one thing I liked was some of the humor in the movie and the fact that some of the Super Hero Characters could do nothing to stop what was going to happen and the adding of Dr Strange. So the bad guy Thanos I believe that is how it is spelled. Thanos even for a bad guy seems to have a soft side but his whole idea is basically is killing half of the population of the Universe in his belief that the beings including humans and other races will basically over populate the Universe and end up in the ultimate destruction of themselves. Though you want to hate Tha
