WWE Smackdown Live 28/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a decent episode of Smackdown Live. Liked how they changed the way they approached storyline in this show. 

Kevin Owens vs Kofi Kingston.

The show kicked off with a match which I appreciate WWE main roster TV for changing their formula every once in a while. 

However, before that, he cut a promo about how the opening segment was supposed to be a KO show, how he hasn't beaten up Big E which is interesting, how he's gonna beat up Kofi (which Tom Phillips couldn't wait for the promo to end) and out came Kofi.

 Kofi Kingston basically said that Kevin will play for his actions. The match itself was pretty solid. Kofi Kingston obviously won the match with the trouble in paradise. 

Meanwhile, Truth and Carmella were looking for ways to run from the rest of the WWE superstars. 

The Planet's Champions In Ring Interview With Kayla Braxton. 

The Planet̢۪s Champion derides the WWE tag team division and calls it a joke.

Daniel Bryan and Rowan made a "knock, knock. Who's there?" joke but about the SmackDown Live tag team division. Daniel then crapped on Oklahoma and want's to save the tag team division and the planet. 

Tucker says he and Otis love having fun, but it̢۪s time for Heavy Machinery to get down to business.

Kayla told them that there's one team that wants to challenge them and out came Heavy Machinery. Heavy Machinery challenged the planet's champions to which Daniel accepted but not in Oklahoma. This was aight and that's all I feel about it. 

Mandy Rose vs Carmella.

By the way, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville were passing on copies of fitness magazines backstage that has Rose as the cover including Ember Moon who's reading a fiction book I believe. Mandy Rose won the match with a roll up. 

Shane McMahon Appreciation Night. 

Elias wrote Shane a song.

Before this, Aleister Black cut a promo in a dark room with a black shirt and he basically said that he's waiting patiently for anybody to pick a fight with him. That's cool and all but when's Aleister going to compete in a match?

Shane showed the audience a great promo video package about himself (because he's the TOP heel even though he's not an active competitor), thanked Kevin Dunn for the video and said that there's no reason to boo Kevin Dunn which made me laugh for some reason.

Shane also said that he's gonna beat the respect out of Reigns. Elias replied by saying that he wrote a song about Shane McMahon. R Truth came out and pinned Drake Maverick to which Drew and Elias were beating up Truth. Elias pinned R Truth and just like that, Elias just won his first championship ever in WWE and Shane made a tag match between Drew, Elias, R Truth and Roman Reigns. Truth honestly saved this boring segment. 

After that, Lacey Evans and Charlotte Flair were drinking tea in the locker room and they talked about how if it wasn't for that cash in, Charlotte would've been SmackDown Live women's champion. I really, really, really, really love this for some reason. 

Bayley vs Lacey Evans.

The match ended with Bayley hitting Charlotte to which Charlotte ran to the ring and the ref was dealing with The Queen. 

Lacey Evans was pinning Bayley via a modified roll up but the ref didn't see that until Bayley delivered a roll-up of her own and won the match. After the match, Charlotte and Lacy Evans were brawling to which Charlotte kicked Evans with a big boot. Ahhh, I was enjoying this friendship. 

After a long video package about a match I don't give a crap about between Triple H and Randy Orton, Andrade cut a promo in the interview setting area basically saying that he will beat Finn at Super showdown. 

Roman Reigns and R Truth vs Drew McIntyre and Elias.

As R Truth was about to enter the ring, Drew and Elias were beating up Truth again. Roman Reigns absolutely dominated the match and because of that, his team won the match with a spear to Elias. 

After the match, Roman speared Elias again which led to R Truth pinning Elias and he became a two time 24/7 champion. I honestly really liked the ending and how Truth got the title back. It was a short and sweet moment if you ask me. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The ending, Lacey Evans and Charlotte having a tea party. 

Didn't like: Shane McMahon Appreciation Night before Truth showed up.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
