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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
