WWE Smackdown Live 22/1/19 | My Coherent Review.

The Smackdown Live episode before the Royal Rumble was pretty good. However, it did things that I like and did one thing that I didn’t like. I will try to shorten my reviews from now on because looking at my reviews, it feels like I’m writing a mini novel.

Opening segment.

The Empress of Tomorrow immediately gets into a war of words with The Man.

Becky Lynch was on the ring and she cut a promo basically saying that Asuka took her title without pinning her clean and Becky is confident that she will take her title back this Sunday.

Asuka then approached to the ring without saying a word until Charlotte Flair came out and basically said that she’s going to win the Rumble. That led to a sneak attack from Asuka which led to a brawl between Asuka and Becky. I get that they wanna set up a brawl between Asuka and Becky but the sneak attack made no sense to me.

Naomi vs Mandy Rose.

After the distraction, Mandy Rose pinned Naomi to the cut of three and won the match. Match itself was fine.

The Miz vs Cesaro.

The match ended with Cesaro delivered the neutralizer to The Miz and then The Bar beat the holy hell outta both the Miz and Shane McMahon. So bad that both Cesaro and Sheamus put Shane McMahon on to The Miz through an announce table. This beatdown made The Bar look impressive and for that, I like it.

Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles face to face confrontation with Vince McMahon.

Minutes after Vince McMahon introduced both Bryan and Styles, Daniel Bryan cut a promo on how AJ Styles uses his fame for himself while Bryan uses his fame for the greater good.

He also said that he's not the people's champion but rather the planet's champion. Styles replied by saying that Daniel became a different person because of the WWE championship and he's a fickle because of it.

Vince got bored and told Bryan to get in the ring. Daniel Bryan then cut a promo about Vince McMahon and people like Vince. After Vince told Bryan to get in the ring again, Styles had enough which Bryan then hit him and ran. I like this segment, especially his promo on Vince McMahon.

Mustafa Ali vs Samoa Joe.

Decent match. Ali's dive is always great to watch. The match ended with Joe reversed Ali’s finisher and turned it into the kokina clutch and won the match.

After that, there was an entertaining New Day interview with Kayla Braxton. By the way, Tony Chimmel's appearance made me laugh.

Rey Mysterio vs Andrade. Two out of three falls match.

Pretty good match. Andrade won the first fall with the powerbomb over the top rope. Rey won the second fall with the Canadian Destroyer. In the closing moments of the match, Mysterio was going for a 619 but Samoa Joe interrupted and beat both Mysterio and Andrade.

Joe cut a promo on how this beatdown is nothing compared to what he's going to do in the Royal Rumble this Sunday and then Randy Orton outta nowhere hit an RKO to Samoa Joe. Well, that was an unexpected ending to this show.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: The main event, Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles face to face confrontation, The Bar's dominance after The Miz and Cesaro match.

Didn't like: Asuka's sneak attack to Becky Lynch.

The 5 News Week: Florida Men In Government Talks About The Relationship Between WWE And The State.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 .major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself? I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television. AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan. From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...

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...

WWE RAW 2/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

The second week in a row where RAW is a good show overall and here's why. Seth Rollins vs Braun Strowman For The Universal Championship Contract Signing. Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman came out to the ring at different times to make one of their championships matches official and they brought up reasons as to why they're going to win the championship of the universe you know like most contract signings. Out came The O.C and AJ Styles became a typical wrestling fan for a moment by cutting a promo about how Rollins and Strowman didn't deserve their title opportunities. The O.C ignored Micheal Cole's saying of Rollins and Strowman having a contract signing and they had a brawl which led to a tag team match. For an opening segment, this was weeeeeeeeeeak. I mean NXT's openings is not revolutionary but at least it's decent. That didn't do its job to build off this match not gonna lie. The O.C vs Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman. Afte...
