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.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
