WWE Evolution | My Coherent Review.

Evolution had a piss poor build up going in and those types of build-ups will usually end up with a solid show but was this an exception? I would somewhat say yes considering that I liked certain things about this show as well as the things that I didn't like and here's why. 

Trish Stratus and Lita vs Alicia Fox and Mickie James

A decent opener in my opinion. There was a point in the match where Trish hit a beautiful sit out spinebuster to a near fall. The match ended with Trish delivered the stratusfaction to Mickie James but Alicia broke the count. Immediately after that, Lita hit the Twist fate followed by a moonsault on both Mickie James and Alicia Fox and the team of Trish and Lita won the match.   

20 Women Battle Royal number one contender match for a title opportunity.

That was a pretty good battle royal in my opinion but the finish was rather odd. I don't hate that Nia won the match because Ronda Rousey had a good match with Nia 4 months ago so I don't mind a rematch. However, I would much prefer Ember Moon facing Rousey just because it feels fresh and different at the same time but it is what it is. 

Toni Storm vs Io Shirai Mae Young classic tournament finals match

Good match and by the way, what a tournament this was. During the match, Shirai delivered an amazing moonsault to Toni Storm on the outside but that, unfortunately, wasn't enough because Toni Storm won that match with the Strom Zero. Congratulations to Toni Storm for winning the second annual mae young classic tournament. 

Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya vs The Riott Squad

This match was longer than it needed to be in my opinion. Anyways, The team of Sasha banks, Bayley and Natalya won that match with Sasha Delivered a frog splash to Liv Morgan. 


Kari Sane vs Shayna Baszler for the NXT women's championship

Brutal but a solid match. The way Shayna stomps on Kari's arm is and will always look cringe-worthy. The match ended with Marina Shafir delivered a kick on Kari's face followed by Baszler's clutch submission and just like that she's the first ever two-time NXT women's champion. 

Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch for the SmackDown women's championship

No WWE, there was a last women's standing match before and that was between Asuka and Nikki cross for the NXT women's championship and that happened a year ago. 

This reminds me when WWE promoted the Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks match at RoadBlock; End Of The Line and they proclaimed it as "the first ever iron women's match" which it wasn't and by the way, they added fake boos in the promo package which was ridiculous. 

But nevertheless, this was a great match. Becky Lynch retains the championship with Becky hitting a powerbomb through the table to a count of 10. Outstanding performance by those two. I'm really curious as to where the Smackdown Women's championship scene goes from here. 

Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella for the RAW women's championship

This match was one big MEH. Ronda retains the championship with the armbar submission on Nikki Bella. That wasn't a good way to end the show, to be honest. 

Well, that's all folks I hope you enjoyed my coherent review and if you did then follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and comment below on what do you think about Evolution last night? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people.  For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan.  However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE.  Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back.  How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today.  It's hard to believe ...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
