WWE Smackdown Live 31/7/18 | My Coherent Review.


Smackdown has been killing it with their summerslam build. In other words, that episode was great. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good and what's ok and the reason why there's no what's bad is quite obvious. Now with the review. 


WHAT'S GOOD


The Bar vs The Usos semi finals match

That was a great match. New day having their own commentary team was amazing. Absolutely comedic GOLD. Anyways the match ends with sheamus reversing the uso splash into a roll up to win this match. Advancing into the finals to determine the number one contender for the tag teams championship. Yes the match was filled with commercial breaks but again, great match. 

Samoa Joe's promo

Joe admits that he respects Styles for building his house on SmackDown LIVE and making the WWE Title the most important championship in WWE.
Look. It's no secret that samoa joe can cut a great promo. However, that promo was great. His promo was basically about how AJ is a great champion but he's doesn't care about his family keeping this feud personal in the process. The promo ends with samoa joe telling AJ Styles that he will return to his family but not as WWE champion instead it's going to be joe. Another great promo by samoa joe and in my opinion, i could name only a few wrestlers in the WWE who's in level of samoa joe in terms of mic skills. 

Randy Orton looking vicious 

... and wipes the face paint off of his enemy.
I thought this was great. The great thing about this is that he was taking away jeff hardy's identity by beating the crap out of him and again i thought this was great. With nakamura delivering a kinshasa to jeff before this, it looks like were gonna have a triple treat match for the united states championship (No shit, omar). 

Daniel Bryan calls out The Miz 

Miz promises Bryan that his WWE Career is over and that the WWE Universe has moved on.
This entire segment was great and the best thing about this segment is that the miz basically stated that daniel bryan calling him out makes him a hypocrite considering that bryan walked out after the miz cut his best promo on talking smack. And he mentioned bryan's WWE contract expiring on September which was the whip cream on top of my starbuck's frappuccino. 

WHAT'S OK 

Zelina Vega vs Lana

Decent match. The match ends with aiden english helping lana from outside distraction but that didn't stop from vega winning this match with the roll up. Meanwhile aiden english explained lana as to why he came out to help her and she doesn't want to listen to him. Out comes rusev and lana was upset that rusev wasn't by her side during the match with zelina vega. Like i said on my last week's review, sad emoji. 

Charlotte vs Carmella 

The fight is on!
Surprisingly, this was the second time that carmella had a decent match. Not a bad effort by carmella. Anyways, the match ends with Charlotte delivering a figure four leg lock to carmella to win this match making a triple treat match and at first i hated this win considering that carmella lost a match twice hence making her look weak going into summerslam. However, i thought of becky lynch's facial expression after Charlotte won the match and immediately i didn't mind the win simply because they're teasing a heel turn from becky after Charlotte wins the title which i see that happening from a mile away. Maybe when a heel becky wins the championship, they could do a asuka vs becky match at wresltemania but will see.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

AEW Full Gear 2020 | A Coherent Review.

While Full Gear was a big improvement compared to All Out, the pacing in their PPVs still needs a LOT of work.  I was yawning way too much in the 2nd hour even though I had a 9-hour sleep yesterday.   With a card like this, it doesn't need to be 4 hours.  Oh, and that Serena Deeb and Allysin Kay match on the pre-show was decent.  Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals.  Hangman Page doesn't have time to play "sportsmanship" as he's nailing Omega with some brutal elbow strikes throughout the first 10 or so minutes.  Speaking of brutal, Page delivered a devastating powerbomb on the stage ramp to Omega and then a sitout powerbomb in the ring to a near fall.  Unfortunately for Hangman, he was taken out with the one-winged angel from Kenny to win the entire tournament.  An enjoyable opener although it could've been just a tiny bit better but I'm nitpicking.  The elite brand will have an an...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...
