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 NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling. Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong. An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys. Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge. Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was. Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website. I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows. The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010. The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
