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 RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
