WWE Smackdown Live 12/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

 This was a night and day difference between RAW and Smackdown Live this week because that show is by far the best episode of Smackdown Live of 2019 so far and did a great job of building hype towards the Elimination Chamber PPV. Now, on with the review. 

Opening segment. 

She claims Mr. McMahon chose her because she’s a future Hall of Famer, and Becky “has just had a few good months.”
The show started off with the titantron playing the end segment of RAW last night that transitions into Charlotte's entrance which I thought was clever. Charlotte cut a promo basically saying that this is her destiny to face Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania. 

 She also that Vince McMahon chose the right decision. The queen ended the promo by telling Ronda Rousey good luck in her match with Ruby Riott this Sunday. I love this segment and I love the fact that she's honing her character like that. Don't turn Charlotte babyface again, please? 

The IIconics vs Naomi and Carmella vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.

At least that match has stakes. Match itself was fine. Naomi and Carmella pick up the victory here and then The IIconics made a statement by beating up Naomi and Carmella. 

McMiz TV with special guest, the Usos. 

Jimmy & Jey decline to take a seat on “McMiz TV,” and they’re not so sure that Shane & Miz are the greatest tag team in the world.
After an okay Mustafa Ali promo (get well soon Ali), The Miz and Shane McMahon introduced their opponents at the Elimination Chamber PPV, The Usos. Then, The Usos doesn't wait to sit and both teams did a tag team test which was entertaining. 

The Miz told The Usos  “Nobody is talking about Rikishi or Maryse. Should we be talking about Mandy Rose?” ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The Usos ended their promo by welcoming McMiz to the Usos penitentiary which led to them delivered a superkick to Miz and Shane. This was an entertaining segment. Now my excitement for this match went a bit higher. 

The Gauntlet match. Winner enters the Elimination Chamber match last. 

This was a great match with great storytelling. Daniel Bryan started the match against Kofi Kingston after cutting a pretty good promo. 

Kofi eliminated Bryan with the trouble in paradise. Out came Jeff Hardy and 
He was eliminated by Kofi with the SOS. Out came Samoa Joe and Kofi eliminated Joe with Samoa’s Clutch into a pin from Kingston. 

Styles came out and he eliminated Kofi with the Calf Crusher which led to the crowd giving Kofi Kingston a standing ovation deservingly so because that was a great performance. The match ended quickly with an RKO from outta nowhere to Styles. Again, this was great and I hope that the Chamber match is as good as this. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Opening segment, Gauntlet match, McMiz TV segment. 

Didn't like: nothing really.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

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...
