WWE Smackdown 1000 | My Coherent Review.

Now, I haven't reviewed Smackdown Live last week (I didn't even review RAW last night because It was so bad and boring that I wasn't even in the mood to review it) but wasn't worth the week off? No, this show was disappointing in the sense that it felt like another episode of Smackdown Live and not a 1000 episode celebration in my opinion. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. 

WHAT'S GOOD

Truth TV

 Before this, they played a video package to celebrate 1000 episodes of Smackdown which was great. Even though Stephanie McMahon was on that segment and the fact that Vinny Mac actually danced in the ring, this was surprisingly a good segment and a good way to start the show in my opinion. 


The Evolution Returns 

The Animal says Triple H changed this business, runs this business and is this business, and he claims Triple H has done everything in this business… “except beat me.”
I’m not saying this because I and everybody else love evolution but this was great. Dave Batista cutting that promo was great. The thing I loved about that was the passion he put on It and it’s something that I wished WWE would incorporate that to their fellow WWE wrestlers. Now as far as that tease Batista gave for a possible potential match between himself and Hunter, I don’t know how to feel about that and yes they put on great matches together but that was 13 years ago. 

The Cutting Edge

Edge doesn’t think Becky made the right choice when she threw away her friendship with Charlotte, and he recalls how he left a trail of burnt bridges when he was in WWE, but those choices will “stain your soul.”

 Man oh man, I love Edge’s theme song and by the way, Becky Lynch is still over. Anyways, this was a great segment at just forgot how good edge was good on the mic and don’t get me started on how good Becky was on that segment. 

WHAT’S OK 

Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles vs The Usos

 Smackdown 1000’s first match and it was okay. I expected a great tag match given that The Usos, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles are great workers. The Usos takes the W in this match with the double superkick to Daniel Bryan. Great finish in my opinion and it protected the WWE champion. Noice! 

Rey Mysterio vs Shinsuke Nakamura

 Both guys fighting for a tournament that doesn’t really mean anything except that you are “the best in the world”. Match itself was decent. Mysterio wins with the 619. I really wish Nakamura is used a bit more considering that he’s the United States champion and he hasn’t defended the championship for over a month now. 

WHAT’S BAD

Rusev vs The Miz

 Well, that was a quick one. The Miz wins this match with a roll up. That finish was a way to build up the feud and I understand that but I’ll rather have a longer 10-minute match between Rusev and The Miz than this but I’m just nitpicking. 

The New Day vs The Bar for the Smackdown Live Tag team Championship 


... and sends him crashing through the table with an earth-shaking Chokeslam!

 That was a great match until the big show shows up. Why? I have NO idea whatsoever. Huh? Oh, by the way, The Bar are your new Tag team champions and also big show turn heel again. Great (sarcasm). 

The Undertaker promo 


The Deadman has just three words for D-Generation X...

 “Rest in peace”. There I described the whole segment. That was a terrible way to end this show.

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: There Was Supposed To Be A New Nation Of Domination Stable!?

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. Why Did The Sasha Banks And Asuka Match Have A Head Scratching Ending? The boss and the empress of tomorrow had a match of the night at Extreme Rules this past Sunday but the ending is a different story.  So, why did an over-complicated type of an ending like this was written into the PPV?  Well, good old Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez stated on Wrestling Observer Radio (From Cagesideseats ) that the finish was layed off like that so that the rematch (which was announced on the recent episode of Monday) will happen.  The hope for that is to "pop a number" in the ratings.  In other words, it was a reported marketing decision (no f'ing sh*t, Omar). Hey, at least we're getting a rematch, right?  Mike Bennett On Contemplating Leaving Pro...

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...
