WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.



Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.


WHAT'S OK

The opening segment and the brawl after that

So does SAnitY, and they attack Team Hell No from behind!

 The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting. 


Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara

The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things. 

WHAT'S BAD


The main event

The 10-man melee is on!

Daniel Bryan interacting with Eric young was kinda weird considering that daniel bryan had the storyline of overcoming the authority at wrestlemania while young had a similar storyline in TNA depending on who you are. Anyways, the match was ok. The reason why it is on what's bad is because this is sanity's second straight lost which means that's a BOOKING HOLE similar to a plot hole on movies/television shows. And yes they were teaming up with the bludgeon brothers but the problem is eric young young took that pinfall. I get it they wanna make the bludgeon brothers not take the fall instead to make them look good going into extreme rules as tag team champions but i mean, WHY? Why can sanity and the bludgeon brothers actually win this match? I simply don't get it.  



This.

I will talk about more about this feud in my predictions post (make sure you follow this blog for that) but this entire feud made asuka look like a FUCKING idiot. Not once in this feud made asuka look somewhat dominate. At least RAW got that aspect of a killing machine right. Look, i like carmella as a heel but even she is better than this. 



WHY? WHY? Tell creative it's so boring. WHY? WHY? They will do it anyways.

if you understood this reference. You my friend are amazing. Anyways, the first reason why i don't like it is that the AJ vs nakamura match last night was a wrestlemania rematch according to Tom Phillips which doesn't make any sense because they were FOUR rematches since wrestlemania. The second reason is that the DQ finish caused by rusev and jeff hardy saving AJ  and you guessed it, leads to a tag team match. *sigh*

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...
