WWE Smackdown Live 6/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

If you read my last week’s Smackdown Live review (which you can click here) then you'll know that I thought it was okay. Well, I could say the same thing about this week’s show but it was a bit better. So, I’m only gonna tell you what’s okay and what’s good. Here we go.

WHAT’S GOOD

Rey Mysterio vs Andrade “Cien” Almas

This is a dream match but did it live up to a dream match? Hell yea, this was a great match. Really liked the slide that Mysterio does into a DDT on the outside. Rey won with the 619 and then outta nowhere, Randy Orton hit the RKO.

WHAT’S OK

The Opening Segment

Miz thinks two thirds of the trophy belongs to him since he won two matches in the WWE World Cup.

Pretty much this segment goes like this. Paige opened Smackdown live and introduced Shane McMahon. Shane then tried his cheap pop that usually works but it didn’t which I thought it was funny. After that, they run down the match card for Survivor Series. Shane then called out the team captain and it was Daniel Bryan but Bryan got interrupted by The Miz.

Miz was “disappointed” that Daniel Bryan is team captain because he’s been in two gruelling matches at Crown Jewel, getting an “injury” etc you know basically making excuses. Shane appointed both Daniel Bryan and The Miz as team captains for Smackdown Live Men’s team which is actually interesting. Is this partnership going to pay off with a W? Will have to watch Survivor Series to find out.

The Usos vs The New Day. Winner becomes team captains for the Smackdown Live tag team Survivor Series team.

Decent match. Nothing too crazy. By the end of the match, Jimmy Uso countered Kofi’s Hurricanrana from the top rope and instead delivered a powerbomb followed by a Uso splash and won. After the match, The Usos respected The New Day’s effort and chose them to be a part of the Smackdown Live tag team Survivor Series team.

Becky Lynch vs Nikki Cross

Before the match, Becky cut a promo basically stated that she’s the real champ and Ronda is not and then issued an opened challenge and outcomes Nikki Cross. This is Nikki’s main roster debut and she lost with a disarmher. I don’t know how to feel about this considering that it’s her first match and the fact that you don’t want Becky to lose going into Survivor Series but if Nikki Cross is consistently losing on the main roster then that’s a problem.

Paige reveals the Smackdown Live women’s team at Survivor Series

â€¦ but she claims sheâ€™s really happy for Sonya before reminding everyone that she eliminated Deville in the Battle Royal at WWE Evolution.

Paige picked her Smackdown Live women’s team at Survivor Series and they are. Carmella, Naomi, Sonya Deville, Asuka and Charlotte Flair. After that, Mandy Rose came out and pretty much was disappointed that Sonya got picked and not her.

Mandy then went on to make fun of the participants excluding Charlotte and Mandy called out Naomi’s Husband Jimmy Uso which led to a brawl between Naomi and Mandy. I will say this, Mandy was pretty decent on the mic and if she kept on cutting promos like that, she might possibly be great on the microphone.

Samoa Joe vs Jeff Hardy

Okay match. By the end of the match, Jeff was aiming for a Swanton Bomb on Samoa Joe and Joe countered it into a kokina clutch which made Jeff tap out. After the match, Samoa Joe raised his hands out to Daniel Bryan on the outside which led to a brawl between Daniel and Joe and Miz broke that up which made Daniel throw hands on Miz and Shane tried to separate Daniel Bryan but instead did a judo throw to Shane. Whatever.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs. 7. Serpents by Neck Deep The reason why I like this song so much is that it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did. 6. Ace Of Spades by Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way). But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly. Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division. I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing). However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least. And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary. From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...
