WWE Smackdown Live 16/4/19 Aka Superstar Shakeup Final Day | My Coherent Review.

Overall a good show but the Superstar shakeup element was a bit better than Monday Night RAW’s version. 

Opening segment. 

Owens congratulates Kofi for his incredible run to the WWE Title.

The second and final day of the Superstar shakeup started off with The Kevin Owens show and he obviously got a big ovation from the Montreal crowd. Owens said welcome to the Kevin Owens show in French and that's all I got from him speaking in French. 

He then introduced ⅔ of The New Day in Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston and Owens asked him that they have a match between Rusev, Nakamura and Cesaro vs Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and himself. 

The segment ended with all three of those men making a fool of themselves which I'm not gonna lie, it was entertaining. A decent segment in my opinion. Especially when Kevin Owens was gyrating. Hilarious stuff from Owens. 

Ali (Still Mustafa Ali to me) vs The first SmackDown Live Pick.

The first SmackDown Live pick is the Intercontinental champion, Finn Balor. Samoa Joe was supposed to be on RAW last night but he apparently got really sick. Anyways, the match itself was very good. Finn Balor won the match with the coup de grace. 

After that, The New Day was searching for Big O aka Kevin Owens so that Kevin could eat a crap ton of pancakes to become an honorary member of The New Day which that's exactly what he did. 

Charlotte Flair vs Carmella.

During the match, Carmella delivered a cross body from the barricade to Charlotte which looked good. The match ended with Charlotte hitting the figure 8 and won the match. The match was a bit slow but it was solid. 

After the match, Lars Sullivan came out and destroyed R Truth. If WWE was TV 14 again, guaranteed he's gonna beat up Carmella as well. Lars Sullivan is now officially on SmackDown Live even though by the end of my RAW review (click here to read it), I wrote that Lars Sullivan is on RAW which is an oopse from my part. 

Becky Lynch Has Her Own Announcement Regarding The Superstar shakeup (Yes, I got that from Tom Phillips). 

The Man has been keeping an eye on her potential challengers, and she vows to run right through Lacey Evans and “slap new heads.”

Becky Lynch talked about her win at Wrestlemania and wanting competition. Ember Moon and Bayley came out basically to challenge the championships. The IIconics came out and they said that Bayley and Ember got zero belts and how their belts look so much better than Becky's belts which I agree. 

Paige came out and she announced who's gonna face the IIconics for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and they are Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville or so I thought. That team is Asuka and Kairi Sane. All those women except for Becky had a brawl and you know what that means…..

Bayley, Asuka, Kairi Sane and Ember Moon vs The IIconics, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

The match was okay. The babyface team won the match with the insane elbow drop to Peyton Royce which is always great to look at. Ember Moon and Bayley coming to Smackdown Live is a great addition to the SmackDown Live women's division and I hope that Ember especially gets a championship opportunity ASAP. 

The New Day and Kevin Owens vs Rusev, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro.

Another okay match. The New Day and Big O won the match with a stunner to Rusev. 

Vince McMahon announces the biggest acquisition in the history of Smackdown Live.  

Mr. McMahon claims it̢۪s great to be back in Montreal.

Vince McMahon came out and he got  “You screwed Bret” chants which was hilarious. Then, he announced the biggest acquisition in the history of this show and that person is, Elias. Huh? I mean I like Elias but he's no BIG acquisition. 

That was a BIG disappointment until the BIG Dog showed up (see what I just did there). The show ended with Roman Reigns telling everybody that SmackDown is his yard now and proceeded to spear Elias. I love this choice man and it makes a lot of sense considering that AJ Styles left the house that he built. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Roman Reigns, Ember Moon and Bayley appearance, Finn Balor vs Mustafa Ali.

Didn't like: Nothing really.

WWE RAW 19/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

As usual, RAW was terrible. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. However, this time it’s only what’s bad and what's okay because you know why. Here we go.  WHAT'S BAD The opening segment RAW starting off with a bland, boring, formulaic (in a bad way) and generic opening segment and the unfortunate thing is that this formula ain’t ending anytime soon. Now, they announced officially a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but with one condition given to both participants of that match.  If Baron Corbin wins then he’s permanently the RAW general manager. If Braun Strowman wins then he’s facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. Corbin then made a six-man tag match and Stephanie McMahon made it the opening match of this show and speaking of which……   WHAT’S OK Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Elias vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and ...

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru...

The 5 News Week: Is Rey Mysterio RETIRING!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  The IIconics SUPPOSED to APPEAR at The Women's Royal Rumble!?  Admittedly, this piece of news is a week and a half old but you may think it isn't all that bad.  Well, because of how the wrestling news cycle moves faster than an MCU Disney Plus show, this story might as well be 5,000 years old.  From Fightful Selectrinos , the current Impact knockouts tag team champions were offered to be part of this year's stinker that was the Royal Rumble show, more specifically the women's Royal Rumble match but they refused.  Mustafa Ali Has A YEAR LEFT In His CONTRACT!?  My man Mustafa Ali be begging for his WWE release like Oliver Twist (can't blame the guy, I guess).  And kinda bad news I guess for the talented ...
