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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...

WWE Super Show Down | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for WWE Super Showdown and overall, WWE Super Showdown was an entertaining four hours of pro wrestling and here's why.  The New Day (c) vs The Bar for the SmackDown Live tag team championship  I do like the fact that this match opened the show but was it any good? Not really and the way it ended was weird? The match ends with Woods hitting the backstabber followed by a chest double stomp by Kofi to Cesaro and just like that, the new day wins. Decent match but not as great as the other matches they had on SmackDown Live.  Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live women's championship  Big "Let's go Becky Lynch" chants. If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will. Anyways, the match was pretty good. Becky Lynch retains via a DQ by Becky Lynch. I'm going to assume that the rubber match will be a no DQ stipulation match of some sort at ev...
