WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, 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 let's talk wrestling, shall we? 

WHAT'S GOOD

The opening segment 

“This show is already way better than ‘Miz TV,’” Bryan says.
Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below. 

Rusev calls out Aiden English

Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and he played a promo package pretty much implying that if it wasn't for Aiden English, Rusev wouldn't be as over as he is now or at least that's what I thought of that until he blames Rusev's wife Lana for his actions. 

Lana then replied by saying that she was by his side when her husband was undefeated for a year and she calls out Aiden for trying to create a name for himself using Rusev. 

After that, Aiden asks that if she's so honest with her husband, is she going to tell him that one night in Milwaukee? Ooh, it's heating up. I overall enjoyed this segment but was it the Milwaukee incident all bullshit or not? Will have to watch Smackdown live next week to find out.  

Samoa Joe is at AJ's house. Literally. 

Joe promises to beat AJ for the WWE Championship in Australia holds up a toy that he got for Annie.
Holy crap, what a way to end this show and the way it ended by Joe saying "Daddy's home" just made it so much better. Click here to watch the whole thing on YouTube if you haven't seen it yet. I promise it's worth the 5 minutes.

WHAT'S OK

R Truth vs The Miz

The match itself was predictable but decent at the same time. The Miz wins here with him hitting the skull crushing finale and then the running knee finish that Bryan usually uses.  

Sheamus vs Big E

Before the match, The New Day were "saying something nice" to The Bar and Sheamus had enough and that's when The Bar were preaching the truth. At one point, Big E tried to kill himself with the spear on the outside but luckily Sheamus reversed it and then immediately hit the brogue kick and win the match.   

Naomi and Asuka vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

According to Micheal Cole, Sonya Deville is the hottest thing on Smackdown live (*cough* click here to read all my Mae young classic reviews so far). If that's the case, she would've won this match but she and Mandy didn't because the team of Naomi and Asuka wins this match win the double by Naomi and Asuka. 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Tye Dillinger

Tye bro, where you at?  Anyways, Tye wins via DQ because outta nowhere Randy Orton was beating up Tye which I'm confused. I mean yes Tye Dillinger is over with the crowd but I just don't get it. look, I'm not hating this. I just have more questions than answers. 

Becky Lynch vs Lana

There were Milwaukee chants from the crowd in Denver which was really funny. Anyways, Becky wins with the Disarmher.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE RAW 8/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, I really thought that this episode of Monday Night RAW was decent, however, this is not a Vince McMahon approved RAW without a few if not some logic holes.  Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch vs Andrade and Zelina Vega.  Damn, the second week in a row where Monday Night RAW started off with a match. Gotta say I'm impressed. This is an elimination mixed tag team match which I'll give some kudos to WWE for making this tag match feel different but we shall see how different it is from. Becky Lynch eliminated Zelina Vega which means that Becky is pretty much going to watch this match unfold if that makes any sense?  Andrade did the three amigos to Seth and Seth countered the third suplex with the falcon arrow. That was nice. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the match with the stomp to Andrade.  Surprisingly, this was a decent opening match. After the match, Baron Corbin sought attacked Seth Rollins while Lacey Evans hits Becky Lynch with the woman...
