WWE Smackdown Live 2/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show for Smackdown Live felt like it was a go home show for Backlash and not for the biggest professional wrestling show of the year. It was an okay show but it could've been so much better.

The Kevin Owens show.

KO asks Orton why he interfered in AJâ€™s match against Kurt Angle last week and if heâ€™s proud of doing so.

This show started with The Kevin Owens’ Show which now thinking about it, Owens should've returned the SmackDown Live after mania but that's a different topic. Owens then introduced his guests and that's Randy Orton and AJ Styles.

Kevin Owens asked Randy if Randy is proud of what he did last week? Orton replied with a yes and he also said that he saved the WWE universe from seeing the match between Styles and Angle which was funny.

Styles replied by saying that Randy has been in WWE for 20 years and only learned one move. Styles also said that when AJ was wrestling at high school gyms, Randy was in WWE getting himself suspended for drug violations (ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh).

This, of course, made Randy Orton mad and Randy said that Styles’ legacy ever since John Cena left to Hollywood is being a corporate bitch. Then both men had a brawl which led to Randy hitting an RKO, reversing the Phenomenal forearm in the process.

Good segment and I'm impressed how WWE has built this feud. Should be a killer match at Wrestlemania.

The Usos, Aleister Black and Ricochet vs The Bar, Rusev and Nakamura.

Decent match. After The team of The Usos, Aleister Black won the match with a double superkick from The Usos to Rusev, Alexa Bliss came out and she made a match between all of the Smackdown tag teams for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship this Sunday. Would've preferred a tag match between The Usos and The Hardy Boyz but whatever.

The IIconics Has A Word For Their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Opponents.

The Australian duo cut a promo about how he could pin one of their opponents to become WWE Women's Tag Team Champions. That it's. That was the segment. This is worth a 5 minute YouTube video and not in a television segment.

The Miz vs Sanity. Three on One Handicap match.

We go from one in-ring promo segment to another. Well, kinda considering that it led to a match. In it, Miz said that he's the best version of himself and called Shane a son of a bitch. During the match, Shane McMahon came out and made this match into a falls count anywhere. At one point, they brawl outside the arena. The Miz won the match by pushing a production cart of some sort on to Eric Young's face.

Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey have been released from the precinct.

She remembers last year at this time when she and Charlotte were the best of friends and Ronda Rousey was about to debut and says she â€œsmacked the smugness off Charlotte Flairâ€™s face at SummerSlam.â€

Becky Lynch came out and grabbed a microphone from Corey Graves’ hand. The Man said that ever since she slapped the crap outta Charlotte at SummerSlam last year, she had to fight to be in this year's Wrestlemania in the main event and she's gonna be a double champion. This was okay.

An 18 Person Mixed Tag Team Match.

An 18 person tag match? That's a first. this match apparently has no ending like which team who the match? The babyface team? The heel team? After the match, Asuka like Apollo Crews on RAW last night threw pretty much everybody over the top rope. Glad that Asuka got that spotlight but the ending to this match made no sense whatsoever.

Ali vs Samoa Joe.

The match ended with Samoa Joe reversed the 450 splash and instead delivered the clutch and won the match. Still can't get used to calling Mustafa Ali as just Ali.

WWE Championship Contract Signing.

Kofi Kingston and The New Day bound to the squared circle for the contract signing.

Michael Cole is moderating the contract signing apparently. After The New Day came out to the ring, the crowd started to chant “Kofi, Kofi, Kofi” while Daniel Bryan was cutting a promo. Daniel Bryan then called the crowd parricides and told Kofi that he doesn't feed off the crowd but rather the crowd feeds off Kofi.

Kofi Kingston replied by saying that Daniel doesn't know who Kofi Kingston is considering that Daniel hasn't waited for 11 years to get a singles WWE championship match and Kofi Kingston will become WWE champion for the first ever. Decent end segment and I'm hoping that we as fans get to see the payoff of this storyline.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: The Kevin Owens show.

Didn't like: A 17 Person Mixed Tag Team Match, The IIconics Has A Word For Their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Opponents.

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...
