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:

Didn't like: Nothing.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
