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.

WWE Photo
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?

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all.  This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging.  Images via WWE.com   Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis.  The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!?  The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old).  Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand.  Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship.  Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that.  Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine.  First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...
