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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
