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.

A Few News I Guess: NXT Japan Ain't Happening?, Thoughts On Apollo Crews' "Injury".

For those wondering, yes, a new instalment of The 5 News Week will be up next week (if you're new, basically every Sunday, I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "5 News Week").  It's just something I'm releasing given that I haven't reviewed RAW yesterday. But for now, here are a few news I guess?  NXT Japan Ain't Happening?  The Japanese wrestling scene is something I'm not all too familiar with (I mean, you're the resident WWE shill, Omar, what do you think?).  But, I've been keeping an eye on news regarding NXT's latest expansion in the land of the rising sun for several months now and trust me, there are so many reports dating back several months about this topic that will easily fill 2,000 words. I ain't gonna do all of that.  Almost 2 months ago, Dave Meltzer said in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there's been a worry regarding NXT entering the Japanese wrestling market. Here...

The 5 News Week: Companies INTERESTED In Bronson Reed!?

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.  Some images via wwe.com Vinnie Massaro On Training Cain Valesquez.  Vinnie Massaro is one of those performers in the business where you didn't know his fingers have shaped up some of the most well-known competitors.  One of those competitors is Dominik Mysterio's God son, Cain Valesquez.  During an Interview with Last Minute Wrestling Podcast's Frank Mandolini , Massaro described how he trained Velasquez:  "When I got him, he had like literally nothing so he didn't know anything about pro wrestling. I taught him a lot more of the basic stuff.  I showed him a couple of things here and there, some arm drags and stuff like that.  But, once he got to Mexico, I think he got in the ring with some of those L...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...
