WWE Smackdown Live 17/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a decent show that has it's problems but again a decent show nevertheless. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let's discuss wrestling shall we?

WHAT'S GOOD


The Miz's "Funeral" segment

He promises Daniel Bryan’s career is dead and his days of main-eventing WrestleMania are over.
Started odd but ended pretty great. He shitted all over daniel bryan which is typical but awesome miz and i liked the fact that the funeral symbolizes how the reunion of daniel bryan and kane was dead within few weeks. Hence the funeral itself which i thought it was clever in my opinion. Great stuff by the miz. 

AJ styles vs Andrade "Cien" Almas

This was a damn good match. I could watch these guys wrestle all day and i hope the rematch will have a stake or a sense of importance like challenging for the WWE championship or something in the future. If i could nitpick, i wish the match would've went a bit longer but again, i'm just nitpicking. AJ Styles wins with the calf crusher and to be honest i don't mind the win and the reason being is because andrade looked good in this match in my opinion and it was a great showcase on who andrade is capable of in the ring. 

Heel Randy is back

OH MY GOD. I've been waiting for this randy orton for god knows how long. Now the opening segment and the main event was decent but again i'm intrigued like really intrigued. Randy pulling jeff's ear looks so brutal like in the picture above but i'm excited for a vicious, prick randy orton. 

WHAT'S OK


Eric young vs Kofi Kingston

Decent match. Noting groundbreaking or anything like that. Eric wins here with a german suplex position into a neckbreaker which actually looked pretty impressive.

Samoa Joe vs Tye Dillinger

A complete squash match and to be honest, tye is better than this in my opinion but i could see why creative did this considering that he hasn't been on TV for weeks now. Joe wins with the kokina clutch.  

WHAT'S BAD


The women's championship situation. 

After forcing Mandy Rose to tap to the Dis-arm-her, Becky Lynch thanks the WWE Universe and talks about how great it feels to win.

The match was fine, her promo was fine but becky facing carmella next week gave me two problems with this. One, where's asuka in this? In my opinion she (asuka) deserves a rematch considering that she got screwed by outside shenanigans twice and two why's becky facing carmella in order to face carmella for the championship at summerslam? Her reasoning for the championship opportunity makes sense considering that just this past month, she beat 5 women in singles competition i believe and becky facing carmella next week feels completely unnecessary.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
