WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. 

WHAT'S OK

The opening segment 

… but Bryan says there’s no need for apologies and acknowledges the respect he has for Styles.
This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which.............

Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles

Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but it did have a great end sequence. Bryan did a triangle submission then Styles immediately carried Bryan and delivered a styles clash followed by a calf crusher and just like that, Styles retained the WWE championship. 

After the match, Samoa Joe outta nowhere attacked AJ Styles and choked out not only AJ Styles but also Daniel Bryan with the kokina clutch. For some odd reason, I'm smelling a fatal four-way match for the WWE championship between Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and The Miz at some point.  Will see how the match between AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe for the WWE championship play out at Crown Jewel. 


Trick Or Street Fight Between Cesaro and Big E

First off, hearing Gangrel's theme song playing on that show was great. The match itself was meh. Big E wins with the big ending. 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs R Truth

Shinsuke Nakamura, where you at bro? Anyways, this was predictable but okay nevertheless. Nakamura wins here with the Kinshasa. 


Becky Lynch promo 

Lynch reminds everyone that she won, despite getting folded up like an accordion.
It was a basic promo. Nothing really memorable but I am looking forward to this match. who's the better champ in this? Will have to wait until Survivor Series. 


Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio vs The Miz and Randy Orton

Another meh match. Not the best way to end SmackDown Live to be honest. The match ended with Rey delivered the 619 to Miz followed by a Swanton Bomb from Jeff and won. After the match,  Randy outta nowhere hit an RKO to Jeff and a great RKO to Rey from the top rope.  

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 Smackdown Live last night? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite.  For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things.  Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom.  The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline.  Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Is Here, A Fantastic TNT Championship Match.

AEW’s New Year’s Smash night 2 is not a bad show. However, it wasn’t enough to be the better show of the night because NXT DELIVERED in my opinion. The main reason?  Well, it was, of course, the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. NXT’s (or WWE for that matter) biggest weakness is their tag team division so It’s nice to see some showcase of diverse teams.  I’m hoping they keep that momentum after the tournament but we shall see.  some images via WWE.com NXT   Highlights.  A Possible Finn Balor vs Pete Dunne Bout!?  The reason why I wrote that headline above is that they had a bit of verbal interaction in the segment following the LeRae and Blackheart match which led to a brawl between Balor, Dunne, Lorcan and Burch, Kylie O'Reilly and his UE members.  I'm not gonna lie, if this is where Finn's championship goes from here, I'm all in.  Grizzled Young Veterans vs Ever-Rise. Dusty Tag Team Classic Tournament. The Grizzled Young Veterans advanced to t...
