WWE Royal Rumble 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Royal Rumble 2019. Was it all that good? The answer is nope. Wasn't awful, it just made some booking mistakes or as I like it to call it, They've made some booking holes (this joke is as clever as WWE's booking these days). Without further ado, on with the review.

PRESHOW: Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship.

The match itself was decent but Nakamura’s win made Rusev’s title reign a complete waste of air time at this point. Like why Rusev capture the US title only for a month later for Nakamura to get the championship right back? Makes no sense to me.

Speaking of a complete waste of time. The creative team decided to pair Scott Dawson and Rezar (because Akam got injured and recently had knee surgery) to face Bobby Roode and Chad Gable for the RAW tag team championship only for Dawson and Rezar to lose the match. Gotta love WWE's “creativity”.

Buddy Murphy vs Hideo Itami vs Kalisto vs Akira Tozawa for the Cruiserweight championship.

That was a fun match. Buddy Murphy retained his Cruiserweight championship with Murphy's law to Itami.

MAIN SHOW: Asuka vs Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship.

Decent opener. During the match, both of those women did their finishers between the ropes. The match ended with Asuka delivered the Asuka lock to Lynch with a bridge and just like that, Asuka is still the champion. I don’t mind the way Becky lost, it’s just the match could’ve gone a bit longer.

The Bar vs Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship.

A very good tag team match. Shane McMahon and The Miz won the match with a shooting star press from Shane to Cesaro and you know what? I ain’t even mad about it considering that the Smackdown Live roster are lacking good quality tag teams and putting Shane McMahon in the tag team division gives the division much more attention and hopefully, to have them put over some other teams with the exception of The Bar.

Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the RAW Women’s Championship.

Good match with an underwhelming ending. look, I know that Ronda was gonna retain the championship anyway, it’s just the way she won it with was again underwhelming. Ronda won the match with the piper’s pit. After the match, Ronda gave her respect to Sasha but instead Sasha gave Rousey the four sign. Intriguing.

The Women’s Royal Rumble Match.

This match reminds me of the 2009 Royal Rumble match. It wasn’t terrible but it was so boring. The right woman won in Becky Lynch. I’m really interested as to where this goes from here. Hoping for a triple threat match between Becky, Ronda and Charlotte at Wrestlemania.

AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan For the WWE Championship.

The match was very good. Daniel Bryan retained his Championship with the help from Erick Rowan which didn’t he, Luke Harper, Daniel Bryan and Kane fought for the Tag Team Championship a couple of months ago? This pairing feels rather odd but I will give this a chance.

Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

This was MATCH OF THE NIGHT right there. The match ended with Brock delivered the kamura Lock and that made Finn Balor Tap out (man, this show is full of unusual finishes). Brock is still Universal Champion. After the match, Brock put the mugging out of Balor for some reason. Will Brock defend his Universal Championship inside Elimination Chamber next month? Will have to wait and see.

The Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

Was I the only thing one that didn’t mind Nia Jax being in this match? Anyways, Seth Rollins is the 2019 Royal Rumble winner which I’m happy with. Overall a decent Royal Rumble match and that's all I gotta say about that.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Buddy Murphy vs Akira Tozawa vs Kalisto vs Hideo Itami for the Cruiserweight championship, The Bar vs Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship, Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the RAW Women’s Championship, Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.

Didn’t like: The Women’s Royal Rumble Match. The ending to Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship, the entire Rezar and Dawson vs Bobby Roode and Chad Gable match.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement. Images via WWE.com Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness. The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black. In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer. Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background. Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this review contains a few minor spoilers). The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament. If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...
