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.

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

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...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
