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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
