WWE Hell In A Cell 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for hell in a cell. Was this PPV straight hot garbage? (see what I just did there). The answer is no. This is the BEST main roster PPV of the year so far other than the ending and here's why.


Preshow Match: The New Day (c) vs Rusev Day

This was an entertaining match. One of my favourites moments of that match was when Kofi did a dive and rusev reversed it into an enziguri of some sort which looked amazing by the way. The match ends with Kofi hitting the trouble in paradise to Aiden English and wins this match and retain the titles. They're teasing a possible break up with rusev and Aiden English for weeks now I think and all I can say is insert sad emoji. 

Main Show: Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton

First off, I've noticed that Jeff is rocking his old wrestling gear when he was part of the Hardy Boyz with Matt Hardy and I would like to thank Matt for giving us a career to remember. Especially when he was Broken Matt Hardy. 

Anyways, did Jeff Hardy almost kill himself in this match? Yes like when Jeff missed a Splash of some sort and instead hit himself on the table from the top of the cell. There was a cringeworthy moment where Randy grabbed a screwdriver and put it in Jeff's ear. Overall this wasn't the match of the year or anything like that but it was a good match and a good way to kick off the show.  


Charlotte Flair (c) vs Becky Lynch

The promo package for this match was FANTASTIC. Anyways, the match itself was great in my opinion. The entire match was pretty much Becky lynch aiming at Charlotte's arm. The match ends with Charlotte hitting the spear and immediately lynch reversed it into a roll-up pin of some sort and wins the match. 

Becky is your new smackdown live women's champion. After the match, Charlotte tried to shake Becky's hand but instead, Becky refused it and held her championship high. Good on her and congratulations to Becky Lynch. 


Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre (c) vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose

Another great match. That frog splash on Drew's back by Rollins was amazing to watch. The match ends with Seth hitting a suplex into a falcon arrow and then out of nowhere McIntyre hit the claymore kick to Seth Rollins only for Dolph to pin Seth and retain the titles. Kudos for all 4 men for giving us a great match. 


AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe

This is when my Internet connection like to mess with me just like Samoa Joe messing with AJ styles psychologically. During the match, Joe hit a powerbomb to styles followed by a modified walls of Jericho aka the Boston crab and then did a STF submission. That was a great sequence. By the end of the match, Samoa Joe hit the kokina clutch and immediately styles reversed that and pins him. By the way, this match had the same finish when Seth Rollins faced Samoa Joe at the Payback PPV just a year ago. Overall a decent match. 


Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella vs The Miz and Maryse

For a mixed tag match, it was pretty decent. The match ends with Brie delivering a roll-up and then Maryse reversed into a roll-up of her own to win this match. Again, a decent match and most likely a rematch is going to happen. Maybe on Smackdown Live or at Smackdown 1000 we don't know but we shall see. 


Ronda Rousey (c) vs Alexa bliss

This was an okay match. Nothing really made this match stand out in my opinion. The match ends with Ronda delivering the armbar submission which made Alexa tap out. In other words, Ronda is still the raw women's champion. (No shit, Omar). 

Roman Reigns (c) vs Braun Strowman with Mick Foley as the guest referee.

During the match, Mick Foley unfortunately botched the count. In other words, Strowman is your uncrowned universal champion and all I can say to that is God bless him. I actually would prefer this match over the opening match if it wasn't for that terrible ending like What was that?  

Well, I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know what do you think about this PPV in the comments below. Make sure you follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

People Over at FOX Are Not Too Happy With WWE's Entertainment Aspect.

Now if you have been living under a huge rock, you know that WWE has indeed signed a 5 year 1 billion dollar deal from FOX and a wrestling show is not the only thing that FOX wants. From Dave Meltzer's recent observer newsletter , FOX wants WWE to give more of a serious/sports like feel into their programming considering that FOX are planning to have a "sports block" throughout the weekend from Thursday until Sunday.  FOX are also planning to air the NFL on that "sports block" on Thursday, to air Smackdown Live on Friday and wants to promote Smackdown Live during their sport shows but in order for that to happen they [WWE] need to change their way of storytelling.  What do I think of this? FOX like any networks has their perspective on which number considers a lower rating and which number considers a higher rating if that makes sense and I say this because several months ago, FOX cancelled a show called Lucifer which gets anywhere between 3 to 4...

WWE Smackdown 25/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Another disappointing episode of Friday night Smackdown but it was a bit better this week. Still, a meh episode.  Miz TV. Special Guest, Team Hulk Hogan And Team Ric Flair.  Both team Hulk Hogan and team Flair were guests on the latest edition of Miz TV or at least most of it due to a brand split. Hulk Hogan mentioned in his promo that he's put out the greatest team Hulkamania of all time (are the mega powers and Brutus Beefcake a joke to you brother?)  Ric Flair replied by basically saying that his team will beat Hogan's team at Crown Jewel. Sami Zayn made a short joke and Gable tells Zayn that he embraces who he is.  Roman Reigns called King Corbin stupid to which Hogan proposed a match in the main event of this episode between most of team Hogan vs most of team Flair in a 6 man tag team match.  Sami on behalf of the team, refused to accept that but after Hogan said something to Nakamura in Japanese, Sami told Hogan that the 6 man tag ma...
