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. 

WWE Photo
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:

Didn't like: Nothing.

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

The 5 News Week: An NXT Segment Getting Some Backstage Praise!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  some pictures via WWE.com Stephanie McMahon One Of The Best Heels In The Attitude Era? Jim Ross Thinks So.  Jimmy Ross recently talked about the role Stephanie McMahon and whether she was "one of the best heels we had in the attitude era" (from sescoops ):  “I always believe she was one of the best heels that we had in the Attitude Era. Because she took so much after her dad.” Stephanie played as the spoiled rich daughter of an a*h*ole boss and that is a dish of easy heel heat.  Stephanie McMahon's spoiled brat type of heel moulded well with a vicious, opportunist of a bad guy that Triple H portrayed as during the era of the McMahon/Hemsley faction.  Without her constant presence on TV, A piece of Triple H's persona especially in the year 2000, would b...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
