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.

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 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...
