WWE Smackdown Live 18/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now, here we go. 


WHAT'S GOOD 


AJ Styles vs Andrade Cien Almas

Man, what a good match. One of my favourites moments from that match was when Andrade hit the stomp to AJ on the ring apron. The match ends with Almas going for the hammerlock DDT and AJ reversed it into a jackknife hold pin and turned it into a styles clash to win this match. 

After the match, Samoa Joe outta nowhere attacked AJ and Samoa Joe tried to hit AJ on the steel steps but AJ reversed that and instead hit joe on the steel steps. Joe then put his thumb on AJ's eyes and ran away to the crowd. I don't mind almas losing because he looked good in defeat and I hope we get to see some championship gold from almas. 

WHAT'S OK

Miz tv 

Maryse feigned the injury, and Miz tries to get the jump on Bryan!
So far, 9 matches have been announced for WWE super showdown in Melbourne, Australia and we have a 10th. The Miz will indeed face Daniel Bryan and that match will determine the number one contender for WWE championship. 

Miz then introduces his wife Maryse as his guest on Miz tv because why not? They go on and on about their victory at hell in a cell two days ago and the crowd were booing Maryse like as if Roman was there. Miz then calls out Daniel Bryan and then Daniel showed up and wasted no time to brawl with Miz. 

During the brawl, Bryan hit a dropkick to Miz on Maryse's lower abdomen and she sold that like a champ shout out to her. That "pain" was a setup so that the miz could deliver a skull crushing finale to Daniel from behind and Daniel reversed it and threw him on the outside. Not a bad segment. Not bad at all. 

Cesaro vs Kofi Kingston

The interaction between both teams promo wise was a bit cringeworthy in some aspects but the match after that was decent. The flip dive that Kofi did was great but unfortunately, that didn't help him win this match because Cesaro wins with a brutal looking neutralizer.


US championship match

Nakamura rakes the eyes to avoid a perilous predicament.
Before this, Aiden English was talking shit about Rusev behind his back until Lana heard it and wanted to tell Rusev but he wants to focus on his match with Nakamura for the United States championship. 

Nakamura retains the championship with a roll-up via a distraction from Aiden. After Shinsuke's win, English hit rusev repeatedly with the custom rusev day microphone and sang the word "Happy Rusev day". I don't know how to feel about this but will see how this storyline develops.

Asuka vs Billie Kay

This is the first time Asuka looked somewhat dominant since she was on RAW. She wins with the Asuka lock.

Becky lynch's championship celebration 

She says she̢۪s here to show Becky the respect she didn̢۪t give Charlotte at SummerSlam.
This final segment of the night was okay in my opinion but Becky lynch's sarcasm was on point. WWE had a chance to do something different like a double turn with both women like Becky is the face and Charlotte is the heel but they blew it, however, I'm liking sarcastic Becky but it is going to get stale like Sami Zayn's heel run? We shall see.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
