WWE Smackdown Live 5/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live was a good show that did a good job to build the Elimination Chamber PPV and here's why. 

Opening Segment.

The show started off with the queen, Charlotte Flair and she basically said that Becky is arrogant and how she needs to get healthy in her match at Wrestlemania. Charlotte also said that she's good to go and the queen would love to face Ronda Rousey. Then, Becky Lynch came out from the crowd, approaches to the ring and out came Triple H. 

Minutes after Triple H verbally puts her down, Becky slaps Triple H and walked off. I really like this segment but I also loved Charlotte's character change considering that last year, she portrayed was a completely different character. A bland one at that. Like I said on my RAW review (which you can click here), I really like what they're going with this storyline and I hope this has a satisfying conclusion. 

Rusev and Nakamura vs Gallows and Anderson.

This was a decent match actually. the unholy alliance of Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura won the match with Rusev delivered the matcha kick to Anderson. 

After that, The Usos cut a promo backstage basically saying that they are a different but great tag team and the best tag team should go to the Usos penitentiary. It was okay. 

Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton.

A very entertaining match overall. During the match, Ali delivered the tornado DDT but Orton kicked out. Minutes after that, Randy Orton hit an RKO to Ali and won the match. After the match, Samoa Joe took out both Mustafa Ali and Randy Orton. 

Then Samoa Joe cut a promo basically confident that he will win the WWE championship inside the chamber (Bullshit). 

Daniel Bryan And His Great Educational Promo About The Environment.

Obviously, since this episode took place in his home state, you would think that he'll cut a babyface promo right? The answer is yes (no pun intended). He did talk about how the state of Washington are intelligent and they need change. Bryan also said that people and the planet needs him as WWE champion. The fact that he didn't crap on his home state was a nice change of scenery. Overall a very good segment. 

Naomi and Carmella vs The IIconics vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. 

WWE Photo
This was okay I guess? The team of Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville won the match with Mandy delivered an underhook slam to Naomi. 

Then, Andrade and Zelina Vega cut a promo backstage basically stating that Rey Mysterio is old news and Andrade is the future. 

Jeff Hardy vs Daniel Bryan.

WWE Photo
Decent main event. Jeff Hardy was going for the Swanton bomb however Rowan pulled Hardy's legs, ending that match into a DQ. After that, the participants in this match came out to the ring and brawled each other but Styles stood tall to end this episode of Smackdown Live. I feel like this ending should've happened on the go home show but I'm just nitpicking. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Daniel Bryan usual great promo, Mustafa Ali vs Randy Orton, Opening Segment.

Didn't like: Nitpick but where's the US champion in R Truth?

AEW Double Or Nothing | My Coherent Review.

I was supposed to post this review two hours after the show aired but my internet connection went down for several hours and I got extremely frustrated and if you’re addicted to the interwebs, that is probably the scariest thing ever other than your worst fear of course. Anyways, I, unfortunately, haven't watched the two pre-show matches because I was out working. So, the million dollar question, was AEW's Double Or Nothing a great show? I'm happy to announce that it was an outstanding PPV overall. One of the problems I had with ALL IN is the match card placements and they fixed it in this PPV.  Oh, and I'm warning you guys that this PPV review is longer than my Wrestlemania 35 review (which you can click here ) just because a lot of things happened on this show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find pictures for each match so y’all are only going to see the writing.  Double Or Nothing started off with the Hamilton stars sang the American National anthem (omg, can Ja...

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 RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...
