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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
