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.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
