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

Are Dirtsheets The Wrestling Version Of Tabloids?

A month ago, I was listening to the prince and the wolf podcast with comedian Josh Wolf and actor/former WWE writer himself Freddie Prince Jr. In it, they had now seven-time women's champion Charlotte as their guest and she talked about life, how she got into professional wrestling but the most interesting part about this interview is that when Wolf asked: "what is dirtsheets?" Freddie replied by saying that it's basically tabloids. Is he wrong or is he right? Well, let's look at history. Dirtsheets have spanned over 5 decades and it is still going strong to this very day and was given the name "Dirtsheets" to get "Inside dirt" in the wrestling business in a printed format or in a modern online site. Hence, the name dirtsheet. The earliest form of dirtsheets was in the 60s where a woman by the name of Georgiann Makropoulos who herself started a monthly newsletter called "The Wrestling Chatterbox" after writing articles on wr...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Money In The Bank 2021 | A Coherent Review

Last year's Money In The Bank show was one of my all-time favourites. You wanna know why? It's because it ended in 2 hours and 10 minutes. As a guy with an intensive full-time job, that alone has to be the reason why 2020 MITB is a great show. How did this year's show hold up? Well, it was quite simply, an enjoyable 3-hour program. I had my so-called "money's worth" after watching this PPV. Oh, and the Smackdown tag team championship match was aye okay. Images via WWE.com Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. You would think that Alexa Bliss would've won this match considering that she has voodoo powers, right? But, I can't pull the "white dude that complains about logic in a subject piece of entertainment" because this match was probably one of the best multi-person ladder matches I've seen in quite some time. Nikki A.S.H overcame the odds like a good superhero story would tell by winning the briefcase. Given that she...
