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 Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
