WWE Smackdown Live 21/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall an okay show. Could've been better in my opinion. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let discuss wrestling shall we? 


WHAT'S GOOD 

Becky Lynch's Promo

Two nights after getting pinned by new SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch addresses her shocking post-match attack.
 That was great and she carried herself pretty well in this. She basically said that her hard work and her moment was stolen by Charlotte and the fans thinks of becky as an afterthought. 

Charlotte's music hit and she stormed into the ring and they both beat the crap outta of each other. If there's one person that's an afterthought, it's asuka. I don't know of that has to do with anything but it is what it is.

Samoa joe's psychological warfare part II.

“Oh Wendyyyyyy,” Joe says.
There was a interview with AJ conducted by renee young and it ended quickly because samoa joe came outta nowhere and choked out AJ, pointed at the camera and shouted AJ's wife's name "OH WENDYYYY!". That was great and the way samoa joe shouted Wendy was hilarious. 

Tag Team Title match

That was a chaotic match. Both shows (RAW and Smackdown Live) delivered great main events. If I told you everything that happened throughout this match, this would've been a long post. By the end of the match, Xavier did a springboard elbow drop on harper through the table and pins him to the count of three. The new day won the tag team titles for the 5th time. Congrats to them. 

WHAT'S OK

The opening segment 

Brie unloads on The A-Lister...
Not a bad segment to be honest. The miz starts the promo with a typical heel swerve. Wow, I've never seen that before. Anyways, he talks about how he "ended" the 8 year saga with him and bryan and how he beat daniel with one punch. 

Outcomes bryan and he called miz a coward while the miz was talking which I thought it was funny. Maryse then grabs the microphone and said than daniel is nothing more daniel bella. Brie bella's music hit (unpopular opinion, I actually don't mind her theme song) and she wasted no time and gave some punches to miz. 

Daniel then said that he spoke to GM Paige and a mixed tag match is in place at hell in a cell between miz and his wife vs daniel bryan and his wife. Now thinking about it, we've seen a lot of mixed tag matches on WWE this year. 


Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton

 That match ended quick. During the match, Randy Orton grabbed jeff's ear which was cringe-worthy. Randy wins Via DQ and then Jeff decides to beat the crap outta randy and he put randy on the table near the stage and delivered a Swanton Bomb. This feud warrants a hell in a cell stipulation at least in my opinion.  

Naomi vs Peyton royce

 Forgettable match but royce did take a big W in this. She wins with the fisherman suplex. 

WHAT'S BAD

This match

The difference between this and the tag team title match is that at summerslam, The match ended in a DQ therefore it progressed that storyline. This one was just a rematch for the sake of a rematch. Rusev wins with the accolade. 

My question is, what do you think about SmackDown live last night? Let me know in the comments below and make sure to follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

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...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...
