WWE SmackDown Live 19/6/18 | My Coherent Review.


Smackdown live was a great show and does the job to build off extreme rules. Why you ask?  Well i'll give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad in non chronological order.  And yes i know Big cass got released today. Apparently he got fired in a meeting that was called by Vince McMahon and not in front of everybody at Smackdown live in Toledo,Ohio according to good old dave meltzer of wrestling observer newsletter. Reason is unknown yet but we'll find out sooner rather than later. All righty then, lets go *Sami Zayn theme*. 
WHATS GOOD.
Jeff hardy
 

I loved enigma jeff hardy as a kid (yes i'm young) but this promo was awesome and gave me brother nero vibes to it. Hoping WWE brings back the theme song" No More Words" that he used back in late 2008 till almost late 2009 but that's probably not gonna happen. That will add a nice touch to this jeff hardy in my opinion. This feud with jeff and shinsuke makes sense considering that shinsuke low blowed him last week and gives a reason as to why hardy has a grudge on him. All i can say is, jeff needs to do what styles didn't do is put a metal object on his crouch. Nakamura is a weird human being is all i'll say. 


Nakamura's backstage promo


Well that was hilarious. To be honest, i thought heel Nakamura would suck but i was definitely wrong. So, good on WWE creative to convinced me otherwise.  


daniel bryan's backstage promo


I know, a different GIF but nevertheless that promo was awesome and if WWE creative keeps on doing this the this is a great tool for great long term storytelling. 

Rusev winning the gauntlet match on RUSEV DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! *adien english voice*



Now that was great and the match itself was pretty good and i'm glad that rusev is getting a HUGE opportunity like that. They have face each other before but in a PPV, this should be a good match.


WHAT'S OK


becky lynch vs billy kay  


The match was fine. And again, i know i'm not talking about what's bad here yet but the iconics have been unbearble to watch as of late. Especially their horrendous promo last week and the sad thing is, it's not their fault really.

usos vs sanity 

I mean it was a impressive showing by sanity.That being said, i'm not invested all in this feud but probably will like it overtime.  


Gallows and Anderson vs  Bludgeon brothers


Decent match. Bludgoen brothers wins here with a powerbomb tag team finish. Interested as to why they aligned themselves with the miz in the main event. Anyways, should be interesting in the coming weeks. 


WHAT'S BAD

The opening segment


That segement was really similar to RAW's opening segment. The whole cliche swerve from babyface to right back being a heel promo. Asuka, being pissed at the finish two nights ago (Guess what asuka, so do i). Like i said in my money in the bank predictions, this iteration of carmella reminds me of chris jericho from late 2001, early 2002 as WWE undisputed champion in the sense that he goes on about how he beats the rock and stone cold steve austin in the same night to become undisputed champion while carmella goes on about how she beat Charlotte twice and at money in the bank, asuka. Another thing i have a problem with this segment is that asuka looked stupid in this segment i mean why WWE is giving her the dumb babyface cliche? I have NO IDEA. 


I'm curious, what do you think about smackdown this week? let me know in the comments and yes my money in the bank review will be up later this week. Anyways stay safe smarks.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
