WWE SmackDown Live 26/6/18 | My Coherent Review.



Smackdown live was a decent show that provided a consisted build to extreme rules. Why you may ask? Well i'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad in non chronological order. Now on with the review.

WHAT'S GOOD


Rusev's promo after the opening match

The Super Athlete promises to take the WWE Title from AJ Styles and make WWE Extreme Rules a great Rusev Day.

That promo was AMAZING and it's not only because i'm a fan of his ok. But it's because he gave the sense of intensity and seriousness at the same time. It's not fun and games when there's a WWE title feud going on. Now i know some will ask "Where's Aj styles?" Well the champion doesn't have to appear on every show. Kinda like NXT and how they handle their main champion. 



Becky lynch is on a roll as of late

Tom Phillips on commentary brought up an interesting observation that becky lynch beat Charlotte clean, beat billie kay (which doesn't mean anything to me)  and sonya deville tonight. In other words, becky lynch has momentum and i hope WWE maintains the momentum she's having as of late. If asuka beats carmella at extreme rules then, i would LOVE to see a match between asuka and becky for the championship at summerslam. 

WHAT'S OK

Lana and naomi met the cast of GLOW (except kharma aka awesome kong)

The segment was ok. Didn't piss me off or anything like that but i'm FUCKING excited for GLOW season 2 next week. I'm definitely going to binge watch the show. If you haven't seen the show, do yourself a favour and watch it. It's only 25 to 30 minutes per episode so you can binge it less than a day really. 


The opening segment 

Miz tells Harper & Rowan that they all proved how easy it was to dismantle Daniel Bryan on SmackDown LIVE last week.

The segment was ok. Miz was great as usual on the microphone and yes the feud with daniel and the bludgoen brother's is nothing intriguing or special but it gives something for luke harper and erick rowan to do rather than not been used on TV. Now speaking of the bludgeon brothers.........

The match was decent but if they went further, it would've been a pretty good match. Would've love to see this match later down the road. Now what do i think about the return of team hell no? Well on one hand, the tag team division is in direr need of quality tag teams and team hell no were a great tag team. On the other hand, WWE needs to explain why Kane is on smackdown now considering that he was on RAW roster before but they didn't explain why kane came back from smackdown to RAW several months ago so i don't see WWE explaining or acknowledging the fact that kane was on RAW before. 


James ellsworth calls out asuka  


Paige reveals that Ellsworth knows for a fact that Asuka is with her family in Japan tonight…

So the rumours were kinda true. What do you mean by that you ask? Well according to Bryan Alvarez of the wrestling observer, he speculated that an intergender match was going to happen at extreme rules. Here's what he said and transcript is from ringside news: 

 “It’s not official yet but that’s certainly the rumor […] We’ve seen mixed tags, we had one at WrestleMania. We just can’t have the men beat up the women. The women can beat up the men. So basically you have to do a match where Asuka beats up James Ellsworth but he doesn’t lay a hand on her and Asuka and Carmella beat each other up and then somehow you do a finish."

So a match is in place. Asuka vs james ellsworth next week. The segment itself was fine but i really liked paige in this especially and i didn't i mentioned that paige has been a FANTASTIC general manager of smackdown live so far?


WHAT'S BAD


The six man tag match

Now the match itself was actually pretty entertaining. However, the reason why it is on what's bad is because sanity lost in their main roster debut match. I mean they should look at least somewhat dominate but even WWE creative could do that aspect right. Hoping they can pick up from this considering that the tag team division on both brands is pretty thin in my opinion.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 17/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a mediocre show that had some redeeming qualities but for the most part again, it was a mediocre show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre   Good match. It was surprisingly hard hitting in my opinion but there was a dumb babyface moment where dean jumped from a ring post and Drew reversed it and instead Dean hit himself on the barricade. After that, Drew hit the claymore kick and wins the match.  The opening segment  Overall, the segment was pretty good but the most interesting thing I've noticed in this segment was Roman Reigns' promo before Strowman showed up. In my opinion, he has come a LONG way in terms of mic skills. Don't get me wrong he's not "the best talker in WWE right now" but he has improved a lot. But that didn't stop me from thinking that the main event of that show was boring as hell. Lio rush....

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 .major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself?  I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television.  AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan.  From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A.
