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.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Did NXT Just Delivered Their Best Go Home Show!?, A Fantastic AEW Dynamite Main Event.

Did I just witness the best NXT go home show ever?  The answer my friends is yes.  While I prefer NXT this week, AEW Dynamite wasn't bad either and a big step up compared to the series of bore-fest shows they produced.  NXT   Highlights.  Msk vs Legado De La Fantasma. Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament SemiFinals.  God damn. What a way to start off the NXT before Vengeance Day.  Unique offensives from Msk is why that tag team is growing on me pretty quickly.  And luckily for them, they advance to the finals which will be conducted at Takeover: Vengeance Day with a double team manoeuvre.  Xia Li Continues To Dominate.  I've been a fan of whatever NXT is doing with this angle and it's mainly because they're embracing the cinematic scripted nature of the business which is what some consider "unrealistic" for some reason.  And yet, they don't mind The Undertaker shooting lightning-like Static Shock at Royal Rumble 2006 but he...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...
