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

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 Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why. Opening segment. The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review). Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from. Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz. That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings"). Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that? Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week. However, that conversation can turn the other way. The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?). Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right? Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar). A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings. The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
