WWE Smackdown Live 23/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

Image result for wwe smackdown live 01 january 2019

This episode was basically Monday Night RAW lite in terms of how long this show felt but it was fine for what it was.

Opening segment.

Reigns drops his microphone without saying a wordâ€¦

The show started off with The best in the world, Shane McMahon and tells Greg Hamilton to announce his name with conviction just like the past weeks.

After that, discusses how he's disgusted seeing his father getting hit by Roman Reigns and how it's equivalent to disrespecting the United States flag.

Shane then called out Roman Reigns which that's exactly what happened (but at least I don't get to hear Micheal Cole say “here comes the big dog”).

Reigns threw the microphone and so did Shane McMahon but out came Elias which led to both Elias and Shane McMahon beating the crap out him.

So, we know who Roman is gonna feud now and I'm meh with it for now.

Kayla Braxton interviewed Kofi Kingston and she asked about his 11-year journey to become champion. Kofi Kingston said that it feels good to become WWE champion. Kevin Owens and Xavier Woods interfered and both of those guys said “New Day Rocks’.

Finn Balor vs Andrade.

A rematch from RAW last week but was it any good? Not really but it was decent. Balor won the match with the coup de grace with an unintentional assist from Zelina Vega. That distraction made Zelina Vega look like an idiot if you ask me.

After that, Elias sang a song where he proposed a match between himself and Roman Reigns to which minutes later, Roman Reigns in a separate segment, actually accepted the offer.

Kairi Sane vs Peyton Royce.

The match ended pretty quickly with an insane elbow drop from Kairi Sane. Oh, and the promo before this match from The IIconics was decent.

Jinder Mahal vs Chad Gable.

Before this match, Aleister Black cut a promo in a dark room and I wish I knew what he meant but I don't. The match, by the way, hasn't started because Lars Sullivan storms Chad Gable from behind and delivered the freak accident to Sunil and Samir Singh.

Out came R Truth and wasted no time to brawl with Lars Sullivan but R Truth came short. Lars Sullivan delivered a running sitout powerbomb to R Truth. Wow, A lot of stuff happened in this but I like it.

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. Face to face confrontation.

â€œYou are the web that management wonâ€™t untangle me from,â€ Becky exclaims.

Charlotte Flair cut a promo about how Becky Lynch pinned the wrong woman to become champion. Out came The Man in Becky Lynch and she replied Charlotte's comment by saying that she pinned Ronda Rousey in the middle of the ring.

Something Charlotte hasn't done before. Becky Lynch also said that she beat Charlotte countless times. Charlotte then said that Becky took her SmackDown Live women's championship by not pinning her and after Becky is through with Lacy Evans, Charlotte is next in line for the SmackDown Live women's championship.

Out came Bayley and she basically said that all she sees is a rerun and Becky hasn't beaten her before. Bayley then wanted a match between herself and Charlotte Flair to determine a number one contender. I love this intense version of Bayley but this segment was too damn long.

Bayley vs Charlotte Flair.

This was a good match. At one point, Bayley did a sunset flip onto the corner which looked devastating. The match ended with a spear from Charlotte. Look, they had fantastic matches and I would've loved to see it again.

However, a match between Bayley and Becky Lynch is a match a much prefer considering that it's a fresh matchup and we've never seen this match on the main roster.

Kofi Kingston vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

This was an okay main event. The match ended in a DQ because Rusev interfered and Kevin Owens along with Xavier Woods, managed to save the champion until Kevin Owens blindsided Kofi with a superkick.

Man, Owens is not a good friend to anybody except for Sami Zayn but how long do you think he's gonna backstab Zayn too? Anyways, I saw this coming and I'm glad that Kevin Owens is back playing a role he's best suited at.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Charlotte Flair vs Bayley, the ending of this show, Lars Sullivan booked like a monster.

Didn't like: The Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair segment was too damn long, the distraction from Zelina made her look like an idiot.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole. On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up. On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!? Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit". Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time. So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review). Now, how was the show? It was aight. The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity. The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time. The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers. The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches. Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!? That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

The 5 News Week: Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions?, WWE Made How Much From YouTube!?

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?). I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week. Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget. Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
