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 AJ’s match against Kurt Angle last week and if he’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. 

WWE Photo
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. 

WWE Photo
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 “smacked the smugness off Charlotte Flair’s face at SummerSlam.”
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.

WWE Photo
 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. 

WWE Photo
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 RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...
