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

WWE Photo
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 Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
