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.

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way).  But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly.  Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division.  I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing).  However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

RUMOUR: The Rock Offered 20 Million Dollars By Saudi Arabia To Become Champion?

Now you are probably reading this headline like "what?" but it is a speculation after all. From the dirty sheets , they've been told that Saudi Arabia  offered Dwyane 'The Rock" Johnson 20 million dollars to become WWE champion in an event on April of 2019.  A rumoured match for him is against Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at Wrestlemania which Dwayne was offered 4 million dollars for that match. If he accepts those offers, he would be the first wrestler to make that amount of money.  What do I think of this? I think this is nonsense in my opinion and the reason being is because if you go to his IMDB page, he has 11 I repeat 11 movies to appear on. Four of them are coming in 2019. and two of them are rumoured as of writing this so It's highly unlikely but never say never as they say.   What do you think of this?
