WWE Smackdown Live 14/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

This has been a good week for WWE programming. Smackdown Live was a decent show that had a consistent build towards summerslam. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good and what's ok and the reason being is because the show was passable for the most part and none of the segments and matches warrant a bad rating in my opinion. Now, on with the review. 

WHAT'S GOOD

Samoa joe's manipulation

I thought this whole manipulation by samoa joe was brilliant in my opinion and the best part about this is that samoa joe made you or this case me, believe for a split second that AJ care about his championship more than his family. Now obviously he isn't like that in real life but adding their history together *cough, cough TNA* and their real life friendship makes this storyline a hell a lot better and one of the reasons why i'm looking forward to that match at summerslam. 

The history of the Daniel Bryan and The Miz Feud

The year 2010. The year that i got my first phone, the year that drake better find your loving. But, It's also the year where daniel bryan first had his taste in the WWE banner and became the miz's rookie in NXT and the rest they say is history. I thought that this entire promo package was fantastic and it adds to the overall intriguing feud. Great stuff by WWE. 

WHAT'S OK 


the opening segment and match

The opening segment was ok but the interesting thing about that segement was Charlotte calling carmella "a diva" and it has some truth to that statement considering that carmella's in ring work is poor. 

By the way, this coming from someone who likes carmella as a heel. Or maybe, creative is booking carmella to not take high/big bums and dress like the divas era from before to psychologically manipulate the fans into hating her because of it. I'm by all means, not saying that's what WWE is doing but now that i'm thinking but it, i highly doubt that they're doing this. 

The match was fine. The team of Charlotte and becky lynch wins. 

Bludgeon Brothers vs local jobbers

This was a squash match. Bludgeon brothers wins.

New Day vs Sanity

Forgettable match in my opinion and i could see why WWE pull the trigger for sanity to lose considering that the new day has to look good going into summerslam. New day wins with the midnight hour. 


Aiden English vs Andrade "Cien" Almas

Similar to the bludgoen brother match, this was a squash match. Andrade wins with the hammerlock DDT. After the match, both rusev and lana walks out and basically stated that they're gonna beat andrade and zelina on you guess it, RUSEV DAEEEEEEEEEEEEEY. I for one, think that their match at summerslam is a filler for this aiden english/rusev/lana storyline.  


Jeff Hardy Vs Shelton Benjamin

Meh match. Jeff hardy wins with a splash. Not a top rope splash but a regular splash with was an odd finish in my opinion

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown 9/7/21 | A Coherent Review.

I'm happy to note that Smackdown was a good show and way better than the previous weeks.  Images via WWE.com Roman Reigns Took Issue With Jimmy Uso' Comment.  That comment from Jimmy Uso was regarding Roman Reigns' absence in the previous episode and how Reigns took a vacation while Jimmy took a beating from Edge last week.  The tribal chief replied with the "vacation" line saying that he doesn't take vacations because Roman can do what Jimmy Uso couldn't do and that's being the top player of WWE.  Jey Uso showed up and his words about focusing on their journey back to the tag team championship, had the family back together.  I saw a comment after watching the video clips (for clarity purposes since I tend to miss some aspects of the episode) where in the initial episodes inside the "award-winning" Thunderdome, Roman and Jey were feuding and now, at the end of the Thunderdome, Roman Reigns, Jey and Jimmy Uso are all reunited as *Dominic Toret...

WWE Royal Rumble 2021 | A Coherent Review.

I know it's something you've heard a gazillion times but it's true.  We are on the road to Wrestlemania which is f'ing crazy to think about.  While this year's Royal Rumble PPV had its moments, the show as a whole was just fine.  By the way, the show was almost 4 hours but it felt like 2.  As usual, I can't talk about the women's tag team title match at the pre-show simply because I've not seen it.  Images via WWE.com Drew McIntyre vs Goldberg For The WWE Championship.  When Goldberg hits the jackhammer, I almost had a heart attack but thank God the Scotsmen kicked out.   Oh, and Drew McIntyre won the match in a meh opening match that was shorter than the Immortals Fenix Rising demo (the most specific reference I've ever made).  They showed some respect after the match.  At least Drew McIntyre won, right?  Sasha Banks vs Carmella For The SmackDown Women's Championship.  Carmella almost killed herself with that sick looking suic...
