WWE Smackdown Live 4/9/18 | My Coherent Review.


Smackdown live was far better leagues of RAW in terms of PPV build ups. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good and what's ok and the reason why there's no what's bad is because I didn't find anything particularly bad about it. Without further ado, here's my honest coherent review of this episode of Smackdown live. 


WHAT'S GOOD


The sit-down interview between Becky Lynch and Charlotte

The interview starts with Becky getting a babyface reaction after Tom mentions Charlotte. Then Charlotte said that Becky said that (I dare you to say that sentence 20 times) in order to be the best, you have to beat the best and from there they were arguing but that argument sounded genuine and that's why I liked this so much. 

The only thing I don't like about this feud so far is the according to the crowd reaction, Becky is the babyface and Charlotte is a heel understandably so.

When Samoa Joe shouts "Wendy", It never gets old. The promo he cut goes like this, he basically stated that joe beating AJ actually made him care about his family. Until AJ comes out to the ring and wasted no time to both beat the crap out of each other. This feud, in my opinion, needs a hell in a cell match stipulation. 


WHAT'S OK 

The opening segment

The show starts with Renee welcoming everyone to smackdown live which by the way, sounded much better than how Stephanie used to start her promo by welcoming everybody to RAW. 

She's there so that she can have an in-ring interview with none other than Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella and they came out with yes chants and Renee showed footage of the miz and Maryse calling out Bryan and brie earlier that night with no one in the arena. 

Daniel Bryan basically calls the miz a coward for doing that. Outcomes Andrade cien almas and Zelina Vega and then I went to the bathroom so I didn't really catch up on what they said but that lead to the first match of the night and speaking of which.....

Daniel Bryan vs Andrade cien almas

 Solid match. That dropkick by Andrade looked brutal but also fantastic at the same time. Daniel wins with the running knee. Then the miz and Maryse appears via "satellite" on an Italian restaurant and basically said that they will embarrass them at hell in a cell. For some odd reason, I'm really curious as to what they ate at that Italian restaurant. 

Peyton Royce vs Naomi

Quick match to be honest. Naomi wins with the roll up until she got beat up by the iconics until Asuka's music hit. Asuka then Storms into the ring and cleared out the ring by beating both Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. Meh. 


Tag team triple threat match

The match was decent. Better than the other tag team triple threat match last week. Rusev day wins the match with the machka kick. The bar's music hit and gave Rusev and English we are the bar sign. Should be a good match nevertheless. 


R truth vs the Miz

Man those backstage segments with truth have been comedic gold. I wanna see more of this and I hope that he and tye Dillinger are in the title contention at some point. Anyways, the match itself was ok though. 

By the end of the match, Daniel Bryan's music hits and that distracted miz which provided R truth a big win via a roll up. Then Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella were beating up both miz and Maryse until Zelina vega pulled brie to the outside while Andrade threw bryan into the steel steps until both Bryan and brie outta nowhere pulled both vega and almas, put them into the yes lock and that's how smackdown live ended. It's far better than how RAW ended last night I'll tell you that much.

WWE RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
