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.

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:

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole. On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up. On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!? Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit". Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time. So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire. It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it. The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind. Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie. While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent. Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat". That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? Smackdown. The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself. As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title. Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
