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 Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
