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 Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
