WWE Smackdown Live 12/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't realize this until reading this review but there were three tag team matches on this episode of Smackdown Live. Anyways, this was a good effort from the SmackDown creative team and I appreciate that it didn't make the build for Wrestlemania confusing if that makes sense. 

Shane McMahon Addresses His Actions At Fastlane.  

Shane says he’s tired of the WWE Universe, the Superstars, the thousands of WWE employees trying to use him to get ahead in life…
The show started off with Shane McMahon with no cheap pop because he's a heel now obviously. Shane McMahon then forced the ring announcer to call him the best in the world. 

After that, McMahon cut a promo basically saying that he's sick of everything and he's born to be the best in the world. Shane also said that it feels good for him to be the crap out of The Miz and he's gonna continue to give The Miz a beating on the grandest stage of them all. 

You know what? I like this segment and the crowd booing Shane made the segment much better to watch honestly. In other words, It was short but sweet. 

Aleister Black, Ricochet and The Hardy Boyz vs The Bar, Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura.

This was decent. The match ended in a DQ because of The New Day and they wreaked havoc. Beating up all the heel teams. 

After that, The Usos cut a promo basically calling out all the SmackDown Live tag teams. 

Randy Orton Airs His Frustrations About AJ Styles. 

“AJ was in Florida getting a tan with Dixie Carter when I was here main-eventing WrestleMania,” Orton declares.
In that promo, Randy Orton basically said that this is not the house that AJ Styles build but rather this is the house that Randy Orton build and he mentioned TNA but not by name. Out came AJ Styles and he said that Randy won't survive in the indie world because Randy always needed help. 

Randy then said “I'm the landlord and rents due you son of a bitch. You could make that check out to the most destructive letters in sports entertainment and that's R. K. O.” AJ replied by saying that he can get his rent back at Wrestlemania. Pretty good segment and I'm looking forward to this match at Wrestlemania. 

Asuka vs Sonya Deville.

This was okay. Asuka won the match with the Asuka lock. After the match, both members of fire and Desire seemed to be not on the same page. 

Then, there was a backstage promo by The IIconics basically calling Sasha Banks and Bayley out. 

Becky Lynch Addresses Her Match At Wrestlemania For The RAW Women's championship. 

She vows to take what they̢۪ve been trying to take from her and give to someone else.
Becky Lynch came out with her own two feet this time. She described how she's suspected, unsuspected, arrested and then being part of the biggest women's championship match ever basically describing how the build for this match was a mess. 

Out came the queen and Charlotte said that she's putting all the work and she's being on top for four years. Becky Lynch replied by raising her hand up. Another decent segment. Why's the build for this match on SmackDown is much more simple to follow and his more of a direction than RAW’s build for the most part? 

Kayla Braxton interviewed Daniel Bryan about Vince McMahon made a tag team match between Him, Rowan, Mustafa Ali and Kevin Owens. 

R Truth and Rey Mysterio vs Samoa Joe and Andrade.

The match was okay. The team of R Truth and Rey Mysterio won the match with a roll-up pin from Rey Mysterio. I don't mind this finish. Maybe Rey wins the championship and faces Andrade at Wrestlemania? That's something worth exciting for Wrestlemania. 

Daniel Bryan and Rowan vs Kevin Owens and Mustafa Ali.

Decent match. The team of Daniel Bryan and Rowan won the match with the face slam or as it's known now, the iron claw from Rowan to Mustafa Ali. 

Vince McMahon Talks To Kofi Kingston About A Wrestlemania Match. 

After Woods makes the case for his fellow New Day member, The Dreadlocked Dynamo reminds Mr. McMahon that he never complains about anything, from missing time with his family to never getting a chance to compete for the WWE Title, and he demands to know what he needs to do to contend for the WWE Championship.
Vince McMahon came out and showed the crowd a video package about what happened to Kofi Kingston at Fastlane (click here to read my review for it). Then, Out came Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods with pissed off looks on their faces and Big E said that Kofi deserves this WWE championship opportunity (By the way, how good is Big E on the mic?). 

Vince McMahon replied by saying that he would've got a WWE championship match a long time and Kofi belongs in the Hall of fame but as part of The New Day. 

Kofi Kingston then said that he's been a loyal soldier for too long and all he wants is to be a champion. Vince then said that if you want a WWE title match then Kofi is going to be in a gauntlet match next week. I love this segment if I'm being honest with you. 

It made me invested in Kofi’s journey to be champion and we've seen stories like this in the  WWE before but the difference is that it's a story about a veteran. A babyface veteran that wants a shot of glory. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right?  WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study.  For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me.  Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions.

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people!  In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.  Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract".  The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal.  The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?).  All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton.  Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me.  I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
