WWE Smackdown Live 21/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Smackdown Live was okay. Much better paced show than RAW because Smackdown doesn't have a third hour. 

The showed started off with a backstage segment. What year is this? 2019 or 2002? Anyways, in it, Shane was in his office until Elias showed up and he mentioned that he will be in McMahon’s corner at Super showdown. Shane replied by also saying that he will be in Elias’ corner for his match with Roman Reigns on this very episode. 

New Day Introduces Their Best friend Back. 

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods kick off SmackDown LIVE!
You know who they brought up? A light-skinned version of Big E (I'm not kidding, they actually brought that guy up by accident of course). No, they introduced Big E back after weeks and weeks of sitting at home recovering.

Big E then sniffed Xavier hair and Kofi’s armpits and they were entertaining as usual in those types of segments like how Kofi joked about not taking himself seriously as champion. Out came Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn and Zayn basically said that he didn't get anything when he was out for 9 months to which Big E said that he will get what Kevin Owens got at Money In The Bank and that's nothing. 

Sami also said that Kofi’s night wouldn't end in fun and Kofi countered back by saying that he will throw down when's it all set and done. This was aight. Nothing really memorable other than New Day's banter. 

After that, Carmella was looking for R Truth until she found him with a white coloured wing and she told him to hide somewhere else. 

Andrade vs Ali.

Decent match but if given more time, they could deliver a great match (No shit, Omar). Andrade was aiming at Ali's back and was almost successful at putting him down but he lost with a small package from Ali. 

I mean, Andrade should've won the match considering that he's a title match coming up in a few weeks. 

Mandy Rose vs Carmella.

Carmella came out with a pimped out version of R Truth and she brought up a good point earlier about how he should've not been on this show because of obvious reasons like how he's a 24/7 championship. Her point was proven because the entire superstars and referees stormed to the ring and both Truth and Carmella ran as fast as possible. 

Kayla Braxton interviewed Bayley about her big moment at Money In The Bank and asked her about what the competitors need to know about Bayley? She replied by saying that she hopes for the superstars to bring their best. 

Kofi Kingston vs Sami Zayn.

Before the match happened, Big E was sitting on the ground along with refs, the medical team and Xavier Woods checking on him and he said: “it was Owens”. Anyways, the match was okay. Kofi won the match with the trouble in paradise.

After the match, Paul Heyman came out and teased a cash in from Brock Lesnar until Dolph Ziggler came from outta nowhere and he was beating up Kofi. I'm just as confused about this as the commentators like what's his motivation for putting the mugging on Kingston? Find out in a few scrolls. 

Then, Roman Reigns was walking outside the arena until Elias was singing about Roman Reigns on the top of the production truck. 

Bayley and Becky Lynch vs Charlotte Flair and Lacy Evans. 

WWE Photo
This was okay. The team of Bayley and Becky Lynch won the match with the small package from Bayley to Charlotte. 

After that, Dolph Ziggler took a microphone and he aired his motivations for his vicious attack. Basically, he said that he should've been him being replaced by Ali at Elimination Chamber a couple of months ago and not Kofi Kingston. He ended the promo by saying that he will beat Kofi for the championship at Super showdown. 

We got another match confirmed for Super Showdown because if you have been on social media, you'll know why. So, they're playing the jealous trope in this feud and I don't mind it actually.

Roman Reigns vs Elias. Money In The Bank 2019 rematch. 

WWE Photo
This was okay. Elias hitting an elbow will always impress me. Roman Reigns won this match with the spear and then, Shane delivers Roman with series of bad punches until Roman came back with a superman punch. Drew McIntyre returned out of nowhere with a claymore kick. Still not a fan of this feud. If this is how they wanna build up Roman then they're not doing a decent job. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The New Day's banter in the opening segment. 

Didn't like: The ending was poor, Andrade losing.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
