WWE Mae Young Classic S02 E04 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow and welcome to my coherent review for the Mae Young Classic tournament and another week, another week of a great hour of professional wrestling and here's why. 

Rachel Evers vs Kiroyo Matsumoto

Right off the bat, Evers got a standing ovation considering that she had a very good first impression in last year's mae young classic. The match was good. One of my favourites moments of that match was Kiroyo delivered a brutal missile dropkick to Evers. Kiroyo Matsumoto won that match with a jackknife powerbomb followed by a back suplex that she calls it "the rock drop". 

Taynara Conti vs Jessie Elabain

I would describe her character as an energetic but also homesick if that makes sense? There was a point in the match where Jessie delivered a forearm to Conti and then immediately Conti shouted "Are you CRAZY?" which was hilarious but that didn't stop her from winning this match. Taynara Conti won with a spinning belly to belly slam. 

Nicole Matthews vs Isla Dawn

Isla Dawn reminds me of that vampire from season 4, episode one of Buffy the vampire slayer but the match was fine. The match ends with Matthews delivering a clothesline followed by a liontamer that Chris Jericho used. 

Io Shirai vs Xia Brookside

The final first round match of the mae young classic with two impressive competitors in Brookside and Shirai but was it good though? No, because if anything, that was a showcase match for those who are not familiar with Io Shirai. She won with a beautiful moonsault. 
Overall, the first round tournament was fantastic and a great way to show what the women's evolution is all about. Thanks for reading this and let me know what do think about the first round of the mae young classic in the comments below. Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling and stay safe smarks.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
