WWE Smackdown 5/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a 7/10 Smackdown Live episode actually. Good show with one entertaining match and here's why. 

Opening Segment.

This show started off with everybody's favourite vegan, Daniel Bryan. At least he's my favourite vegan. Anyways, Daniel Bryan showed the crowd a video package about Kofi Kingston and then, he cut a promo saying that Bryan has been silenced after all of this. 

Daniel Bryan also said that Kofi is nothing more than a supporting player and not a leader. Bryan then called Kevin Owens “just like everybody else” and here came Owens himself. 

Owens cut a babyface promo saying that he's gonna keep Daniel Bryan's mouth shut. Back and forth promos between Owens and Bryan later and Kevin got a big face chokeslam from Rowan. A very weak segment and Owens’ face promo was kinda bland. However, I'll give this babyface run from Kevin Owens a shot. 

Jey Uso vs The Miz.

Before this, The Usos cut a great about how the team of Shane McMahon and The Miz are stepping up with a great tag team and they're gonna be welcomed to the Uso Penitentiary at Fastlane. Then, the team of McMiz came out to say that they're gonna make Cleveland, Ohio proud. The match itself was okay. Miz won the match here with the skull crushing finale to Jey Uso. 

Backstage Interview time with Kayla Braxton and her Interviewee is The Queen. Charlotte Flair said that she will invite Becky tonight to have a “friendly discussion”. 

R Truth US Championship Open Challenge.

Guess who answered the challenge this time? It was not Lacy Evans who at this point her gimmick is basically she comes and goes just like Vince's mentality but rather it was Samoa Joe, Rey Mysterio and Andrade. 

This match was pretty good actually. Samoa Joe won his first main roster championship with the uranage to Andrade. This was a long time coming and I hope that Joe actually does something with the championship. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs The Bar.

This was an Okay match. After the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the 630 to Cesaro, Rusev and Nakamura seek attacked Aleister Black and Ricochet to which The Hardy came out to save the NXT guys. 

Mandy Rose vs Naomi.

This was a quick one. Mandy Rose won the match with the underhook slam. After the match, Asuka absolutely destroyed the team of Fire and Desire. 

Kayla Braxton interviewed AJ Styles about how he feels kinda sorry for Kofi Kingston considering that Kingston got robbed which led to Randy Orton coming out and replied with “Are you seriously talking about someone other than you {referring to AJ Styles}, deserves a title opportunity? {Laughs} man, I see why it took you 15 years to get here.” It looks like WWE is planting seeds for this feud (No shit, Omar). 

Kevin Owens vs Rowan.

This match ended quickly with a DQ because of Rowan and then, Mustafa Ali came out to save Owens and a brawl ensues. Great to see Mustafa Ali back in action.   

Charlotte Flair Invites Becky Lynch To The Ring.

WWE Photo
After Charlotte Flair showed the crowd a clip from RAW last night where Ronda Rousey beat the crap out of Becky Lynch, The Man came out and said that Ronda hits Lynch with her absolute best and Becky is still standing. Charlotte then attacked Becky Lynch which led to Becky Lynch locking in the disarmher to Charlotte. Compared to RAW’s end segment, this was rather okay at best. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: R Truth US Championship Open Challenge.

Didn't like: Opening Segment.

WWE RAW 23/11/20 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW this week felt like 7 hours instead of 3 hours because this show was a snooze fest.  There were a few good moments but for the most part, I was bored as f**k watching this episode.  Images via WWE.com This Segment Bruh…  To put it simply, the segment was straight up dogsh*t.  Pretty much all of the competitors in the RAW Survivor Series men's team stated their reason as to why they deserve a WWE title opportunity (with jokes from Riddle cornier than any Nick Cannon's comedy sketch).  Then, Braun Strowman attacked Adam Pearce because Braun was bothered by Adam Pearce saying, "last but not least" to him. Whyee?  That attack from Strowman made him look so stupid.  You (Braun) would've had a slight chance to face Drew for the WWE championship so why attack the guy?  The New Day vs Shelton Benjamin And Cedric Alexander For The RAW Tag Team Championship.  Moving on from something that is actually slightly worst?  I would be co...

The 5 News Week: Companies INTERESTED In Bronson Reed!?

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 Vinnie Massaro On Training Cain Valesquez.  Vinnie Massaro is one of those performers in the business where you didn't know his fingers have shaped up some of the most well-known competitors.  One of those competitors is Dominik Mysterio's God son, Cain Valesquez.  During an Interview with Last Minute Wrestling Podcast's Frank Mandolini , Massaro described how he trained Velasquez:  "When I got him, he had like literally nothing so he didn't know anything about pro wrestling. I taught him a lot more of the basic stuff.  I showed him a couple of things here and there, some arm drags and stuff like that.  But, once he got to Mexico, I think he got in the ring with some of those L...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Cody Rhodes vs Wardlow In A Steel Cage, Bianca Belair Calling Out Charlotte Flair.

For the second week in a row, All Elite Wrestling has knocked it out of the park in their premier pro wrestling show while NXT is cooling off the steam creatively that is Takeover: Portland. Hopefully, the yellow brand picks back up next week.  NXT       Highlights.  Broserweights vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch.  That dialogue when Riddle said that they partied so hard in Portland that Pete Dunne failed the wellness policy was hilarious. The champions are immediately getting back to work after that great performance this past Sunday.  Also, this is the return of Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan so it's great to see those guys. The champions are still strong thanks to that knee strike from Riddle to win this match. A good match indeed.  Chelsea Green vs Kayden Carter.  The reason why I put this in my highlights is not because of the match but rather Bianca Belair showing up and challenging Charlotte Flair saying that...
