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

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why. 

Opening segment. 

Two days after he and Miz lost the SmackDown Tag Team Titles, Shane-O-Mac talks about the debut of NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa, NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Aleister Black, and he has invited them to SmackDown tonight!
The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review). 

Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from. 

Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz. 

That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I don't mind it. 

Aleister Black vs Andrade.

Would've preferred a match between Aleister Black and Shelton Benjamin so that Black could face a veteran wrestler like Benjamin but nevertheless, this was decent. Aleister Black won the match with the black mass. I'm not hating on this but I hope that Andrade can bounce back from this. 

The Bar vs Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa.

After a decent little backstage interaction between Kofi Kingston, AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy, The Bar is set to face Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, hence the title above (No shit, Omar). Anyways, this was a good match. The team of Gargano and Ciampa won the match with a roll up from Ciampa to Cesaro. 

Asuka vs Mandy Rose.

Before the match, Asuka was interviewed by Kayla Braxton about the RAW Women's Championship scene right now and is Asuka lost in the shuffle? Asuka replied by saying that she's ready for all challengers. Out came Mandy Rose and she basically said that she's ready for Asuka. The match was okay but that ending was no good because Asuka looked weak. Mandy won the match with a roll up. This match will lead to a championship match at Fastlane. At least I hope so because this ain't a Wrestlemania worthy match in my opinion. 

Ricochet vs Eric Young.

Wow, I thought that the entire Sanity was unemployed (sarcasm of course). I mean who do you think will win this match? Ricochet won the match with the 630. 

AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston and Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan.

Decent match. The team of Styles, Hardy and Kingston won the match with Kofi hitting the trouble in paradise to Daniel Bryan, pinning the WWE champion for the second time in a row and Kofi got his WWE championship match at Fastlane so that's good. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The Bar vs Gargano and Ciampa match.

Didn't like: Mandy Rose vs Asuka.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...
