WWE Smackdown Live 4/12/18 | My Coherent Review

Smackdown Live last night was okay that did a decent job to build of TLC. Why you ask? Well usually on my RAW and Smackdown reviews, I tell you what's good, what's okay and what's bad. Because the show was decent, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's okay. Without further ado, on with the review. 

WHAT'S GOOD

Daniel Bryan So Far As A Heel 

... WWE Champion Daniel Bryan!
I know this heel character by Daniel Bryan has been around for a couple of weeks now and I wasn't really a fan of the heel turn initially but with that being said, I love this new, dangerous, psychotic heel Daniel Bryan and I could argue that he's more psychotic than Dean Ambrose. In other words, Daniel is a better portraying a lunatic than Dean.  

WHAT'S OK

The Women's Triple Treat TLC Match Contract Signing 

Flair claims she picked up the ball that Becky dropped and beat the hell out of Ronda Rousey.
The show started off with all three women explaining their reasons as to why they will win the match at TLC. After that, Becky signed the contract and left the ring while Asuka and Charlotte were arguing, even when Charlotte said that she shattered Asuka's mystic which by the way, was a good line. 

 Then both Asuka and Charlotte eventually signed the contract. This opening segment felt short which was rather surprising given that opening segments are usually long in length time but it was decent. 

Charlotte and Asuka vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville

An okay match. I would've hated the finish if it wasn't for Charlotte taking the fall and not Asuka. The team of Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose won the match with a kick from Asuka to Charlotte followed by a Jackknife pin by Sonya. 

Jey Uso vs Xavier Woods vs Cesaro

Decent match. During the match, Cesaro did a swing to Jey while at the same time, carried Woods on his shoulders which looked amazing. The match ended with Cesaro threw Woods on to the outside and then he ate a superkick from Jey and just like that, Jey Uso took the W. 

Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy

This was a quick one in my opinion. Jeff was going for I'm assuming an elbow drop on the announce table to Randy until Samoa Joe appeared on the titantron in a local bar and talked about Jeff's past alcohol issues which distracted Jeff. After that, Randy hit an RKO outta nowhere and won the match. 

AJ Styles vs The Miz

By the end of the match, Styles got distracted beacuse Daniel pulled one of his legs. Then Styles grab Miz's left leg and did the calf crusher submission to win this match. After the match, Daniel hit AJ's left leg from behind and delivered the heel hook submission to AJ to which Daniel grabbed the microphone and shouted "FICKLE!" to everybody in the crowd. Man, what a heel Daniel Bryan is so far. 

My question is, what do you think about SmackDown live last night? Let me know in the comments below and make sure to follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

Finn Balor Is Indeed Out Of Action.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider . Instead, Balor is dealing with an illness and couldn't continue the Latin America tour. Finn is also unable to compete on the Mixed Match Challenge, replacing him with Apollo Crews. But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
