WWE Super Show Down | My Coherent Review.


Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for WWE Super Showdown and overall, WWE Super Showdown was an entertaining four hours of pro wrestling and here's why. 

The New Day (c) vs The Bar for the SmackDown Live tag team championship 


I do like the fact that this match opened the show but was it any good? Not really and the way it ended was weird? The match ends with Woods hitting the backstabber followed by a chest double stomp by Kofi to Cesaro and just like that, the new day wins. Decent match but not as great as the other matches they had on SmackDown Live. 

Becky Lynch (c) vs Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live women's championship 


Big "Let's go Becky Lynch" chants. If that doesn't tell you anything, I don't know what will. Anyways, the match was pretty good. Becky Lynch retains via a DQ by Becky Lynch. I'm going to assume that the rubber match will be a no DQ stipulation match of some sort at evolution. 

John Cena and Bobby Lashley vs Elias and Kevin Owens 


Before the match,  Elias was playing thunderstruck by AC/DC via his guitar which was amazing to see.  The match itself was okay nothing special. 

The match ends with John Cena hitting the five knuckle shuffle followed by the Attitude Adjustment and then delivered his new finisher called “The Lightning Punch”  to win this match. The 6th move of doom. 

After the match, John Cena thanked the crowd for allowing him to perform in the country of Australia. A very generous thing for him to say. 

Asuka and Naomi vs The IIconics


Meh match. The IIconics win with Peyton Royce hitting the kick on side of Naomi's head. 

AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe for the WWE championship 


There was a crowd sign that says "Will U be my daddy?" Which was hilarious. This match was hard hitting. At one point Samoa Joe hit a chop on AJ's chest which almost killed AJ the way he sold it.  The match ends with AJ reversing the kokina clutch and did the calf crusher to Joe and made Joe tap out.  AJ retains the championship and to be honest I don't mind it. 

Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins vs The Riott Squad 


Surprisingly, this was a decent six women tag match. The team of Ronda Rousey and The Bella Twins wins this match with Ronda Hitting a double armbar on both Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan. 

Cedric Alexander (c) vs Buddy Murphy for the cruiserweight championship

A cruiserweight championship match after the WWE championship match? That's weird but nevertheless, this was a great match. That Michinoku driver to Murphy from the top rope was a thing of beauty but that, unfortunately, wasn't enough because Buddy Murphy wins this match and is your new cruiserweight champion. What a performance by those two. 

The Shield vs Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

Good match in my humble opinion. At one point, Roman tried to aim the superman punch to McIntyre but instead, McIntyre dodged it and instead accidentally hit on Ambrose. The shield wins this match with Dean hitting the dirty deeds to Ziggler. The win should've gone to Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler but again, this was a good match. 

Daniel Bryan vs The Miz

Well, that was a quick match. Daniel Bryan wins with the small package. I'm hoping this leads to a fatal four way for the WWE championship at some point. 

The Undertaker vs Triple H 


The match was kinda slow for a no DQ match (No shit Omar they're old obviously) but it was a pretty decent match. The match ends with Shawn Michaels hitting the sweet chin music to Undertaker and then Triple H delivered the pedigree to the Undertaker and wins this match. 

After the match, Triple H and Shawn Michaels gave their respect to the Undertaker and then outta nowhere the brothers of destruction beat both Triple H and Shawn Michaels and that's how the show ends. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know what do you think about Super showdown? Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

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...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
