WWE Smackdown Live 26/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a very eventful show but was it good? Yes. Matter fact, it was a great show and here's why. 

Opening Segment.

The show kicked off with The New Day after another great performance by Kofi in that gauntlet match last week. They cut a promo basically thanking the fans for being with them in this journey. 

They also said that Kofi has been treated so poorly for the past 11 years and Kofi is a great example of the power of positivity. Xavier Woods then called out Vince McMahon for answers and out came the chairman himself. 

Vince was about to say something until Daniel Bryan came out and said that if they wanna quit then let them quit. Xavier Woods replied by saying that Daniel Bryan is becoming what Bryan used to hate 5 years ago. 

Vince told them to “SHUT UP!” and decided to put Xavier Woods and Big E in a tag team gauntlet match. If they win that match then Kofi gets to go to WrestleMania. Decent segment. 

Backstage Interview with Sarah Schreiber and she interviewed Becky Lynch. In it, Becky called Charlotte a third wheel. 

Charlotte Flair vs Asuka for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship.

This was a great tv match. That Spanish fly delivered by Charlotte was fantastic to watch. But Asuka lost the match with the figure 8 from Charlotte Flair. It's a shame that Asuka lost the match like that but that win gave me more questions than answers. 

Why did WWE give Charlotte Flair the championship? Are they gonna unite the championships? Will have to wait possibly till next Monday or next Tuesday or at Wrestlemania and I don't know if that decision was a good thing or a bad thing yet. 

AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle.

Well, the match didn't last long because Randy Orton interfered and hits an RKO to AJ Styles which led to Angle delivered the angle slam to Randy Orton. I mean I don't hate it considering that the match would've been okay at best anyways. 

Shane McMahon Talks About How He Loves To Watch Himself Beat Up Miz’s Father. 

Shane promises to punish The A-Lister’s father for spawning the “greatest Miz-take of his life.”
The A-lister cut a promo about how Shane lit a fire inside him and how Shane McMahon got really personal by beating his father in front of him. The Miz also said that his match with Shane McMahon is a fall count anywhere match. Shane McMahon’s music hits and Shane brought in security guards, Shelton Benjamin, Primo Colon and Sanity. Shane McMahon told Miz that Miz is as dumb as Miz's father looks (huh?). 

McMahon also said that he watched himself beating The Miz and grabbing Miz’s father's face over and over again because it feels good to him. After Shane McMahon called Miz a “Mizztake”, The Miz got really pissed off and beats up a bunch of security guards and Sanity. 

Wow, one person in Miz beats up an entire team in Sanity. That's laughable to me but nevertheless, this was a great segment and the more I see Shane and Miz interact, the more I'm really looking forward to this match. The thing I love about heel Shane is that this is a Shane McMahon we've never seen before and that's a psychotic heel Shane McMahon. 

The New Day vs The Bar vs Rusev and Nakamura vs Gallows and Anderson vs The Usos. 

Sheamus & Cesaro carry out a vicious post-match assault and drive Big E through a table!
The New Day eliminated Gallows and Anderson, Rusev and Nakamura, The Bar but The Usos came out and decided to forfeit. So, at this point, The New Day has to beat one more team and here came Daniel Bryan and Rowan. 

The New Day defeated the team of Bryan and Rowan with a count out victory which means that Kofi will go to WrestleMania and face Daniel Bryan for the WWE championship. Yeah man. Hopefully, this pays off at Wrestlemania. What an ending. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The ending to The New Day vs The Bar vs Rusev and Nakamura vs Gallows and Anderson vs The Usos Gauntlet match, Shane McMahon Talks About How He Loves To Watch Himself Beat Up Miz’s Father, Charlotte Flair vs Asuka for the SmackDown Live Women's Championship. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
