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



Smackdown was a good show that feels fresh and exciting each and every week. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good and what's ok and the reason why there's no what's bad is because the show was so good that i didn't find any particular flaws with the show. Now, on with the review. 


WHAT'S GOOD 

Randy Orton's promo

Once again, randy orton killed it with this promo and the way the promo ended the same way like last week which i was a bit disappointed at first but i don't mind it when i was gathering notes for this review. Overall again, a great promo. 

Aj Styles's promo

I feel like this side or rather a serious side of AJ is what this feud needs and sparks my excitement quickly and i like the fact that they're bring up their TNA history without mentioning it of course. And yes, samoa joe laughing after the promo ended was fantastic. 

This whole Lana, Aiden English, Rusev Storyline so far

I don't why but week by week this storyline is getting really intriguing by the minute. Now the match before this was okay but a good showcase for lana especially. Looks like their setting up for a mixed tag match and if wrestlemania 34 taught me is that WWE can bring a great mixed tag match but that's just me. 

The Tag team championship number one contender finals match

WOW! A tag team division match actually main evented Smackdown live. Who knew? Anyways, this was a great tag match that at some aspects of this match made me think that the bar was actually gonna win this match. That's the sign of a great match and just by watching this match, both men looked like they gave a crap about this tag team division and i loved it every single minute of it. New day wins here with the midnight hour. 

The Miz once again kills it 

Miz promises to expose Bryan as being “beneath him.”
Like the title above, The miz once again kills it with this promo and the promo basically states that The miz will expose daniel bryan at summerslam and then daniel bryan quickly comes out, beating two security guards only for the miz to hit bryan with the glass that you put your flowers in. Great segment and i approve the bryon saxton slander from the miz.   

WHAT'S OK 

Charlotte and Becky lynch vs the IIconics

Nothing really happen in this match. The match ends with charlotte putting on the figure eight to peyton royce to win this match. If becky really turns heel after charlotte wins the itle and win the championship, i would like to see a becky lynch vs asuka match at wrestlemania or something. Now that's intriguing. 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs R Truth

I would never thought that r truth of all people would come out to the ring after the United Stated champion. Anyways, i forgot how good R truth is in the ring. Shinsuke wins here with the kinshasa. 

Bludgeon Brothers vs Local Jobbers

It was a typical big guy or big men in this case, squash match. The bludgeon brothers wins with a powerbomb position into a top rope clothesline.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

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 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 ...

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...
