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 Planetâ€™s 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 itâ€™s 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.

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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon. But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program. NXT Highlights. Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks. By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story. The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match. Then,...

NXT Takeover: 31 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: 31 was a step up from the disappointment that was Takeover: 30. By the way, the set from the now called Capital Wrestling Centre is clean. The lighting was especially on point. pictures via wwe.com Damian Priest vs Johnny Gargano For The North American Championship. During the match, Gargano pulled Damian's arm that had the big man land on the outside floor. That led to Gargano pushing Priest onto the steel steps. In other words, Johnny has been targeting Damian's arm throughout the match (No f'ing sh*t, Omar). Priest then delivered the Razor's edge to Gargano on the ring apron (rip Johnny's back). After he reversed the one final beat from Gargano, Priest nailed the reckoning to retain the North American title. Not the most mind-blowing opener of all time but it was a decent match. Kushida vs *ugh* Velveteen Dream. Velveteen Dream dressed as Dr Emmett Brown because GET IT? Kushida dresses as Marty McFly? Kus...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not. Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused). The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space. The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love. That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable. I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites. There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones. Okay? Here we go. #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline. I can't talk about a guide t...
