WWE Smackdown Live 16/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not impressed with this week's episode of Smackdown Live. I'm gonna go as far as to say that show was bad for the most part. The story built-in throughout the show was something I don't care about.

Maybe my mind could change because I am a human being after all but I have no positives for Owens feuding with Shane McMahon. 

Smackdown Town Hall.

After Shane McMahon "gave Kevin Owens the night off", the rest of the SmackDown roster were on the stage area for you guessed it, a Smackdown Live town hall. Roman Reigns grabbed the microphone and basically told him to kick his behind. 

Charlotte Flair basically agreed with Shane McMahon's tactics to which Liv Morgan replied by saying that she wants the opportunity to be in the ring or something along those lines. 

… but Liv Morgan cuts her off and challenges her to “stop being such a phony” and wonders if there’s anything real about her.

Shane then called out Buddy Murphy to say something and Murphy gave a warning to Owens that next time he mentions him, he's gonna beat Owens up (finally. After 3 months, he didn't wrestle but rather he actually said something. YAYYY!). 

Buddy Murphy steps to the microphone, declares he doesn̢۪t need Kevin Owens to fight his battles and demands that KO keep his name out of his mouth.
Apollo Crews and The New Day showed up and they said what Owens said last week and that's Shane take opportunities for other superstars. 

McMahon has ended that town hall meeting to which Cesaro came out to request a rematch against Aleister Black and Shane accepted that. Shane was smiling for some reason and Kevin Owens delivered him the stunner.

This had the potential to be a very good segment but the end result was a waste of time. The babyface superstars were basically saying the same thing that Owens said last week while the heel superstars said the exact opposite with the exception of Buddy Murphy I guess?

Again, not a fan of this segment and I wish WWE would give those guys some material to say something different. 

Aleister Black vs Cesaro.

This was a much shorter match for obvious reasons such as its on free TV and not on a PPV. Aleister Black won again with the black mass. Overall a decent match. 

Charlotte Flair vs Liv Morgan. 

WWE Photo
Liv Morgan comes out with Ruby Riott's music and she needs a theme song change ASAP considering that she's on different brand now (hahaha different brand. That's funny). 

Charlotte Flair won the match with the figure eight. After the match, Liv took Corey Graves' headset and said that she'll be real. Don't know what that means but okay. 

Ember Moon and Bayley vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. 

WWE Photo
The match ended quickly with the eclipse to Rose and then, Bayley was asked by Kayla who's gonna face her for the championship? 

Bayley looked at Ember Moon so know what that means? She just got a title opportunity like that and yes, I would prefer a number one contenders match or something but it's a different match. A fresh matchup that I could definitely get by. 

Nakamura was asked by Sarah Schreiber about his title win and Ali looked at him and told him "good look". That's a match I don't know I wanted but now I do. Also, apparently R Truth and Carmella are going to the San Diego comic con. Wished I was in San Diego that weekend. That could be fun. 

The New Day vs Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and Elias. 

WWE Photo
Let's break the segment before this match happened, Daniel Bryan and Rowan showed up and left a couple of times and then finally left the arena. Samoa Joe, Randy Orton and Elias asked Kofi for a title match. 

Elias then had an idea for a 6 man match between them and The New Day and Randy refused. Kofi basically called Randy a coward and Randy changed his mind. The match itself was okay. 

Randy Orton pinned the WWE champion with the RKO. It looks like we're getting a championship match at SummerSlam I assume. Will see how they build this match up. By the way, where's this big career alternating announcement WWE? Where? Where? Where? Where? 

Kabuki Warriors vs The IIconics for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. 

WWE Photo
The IIconics were on the outside and the ref was counting them to 10. The Australian duo decided not to enter the ring and just like that, they retained their championships which was a very smart move. 

After the match was over and done with, The IIconics ate a beating from the Kabuki Warriors. Hoping that the titles change hands ASAP. 

Apollo Crews vs Andrade. 

WWE Photo
Crews won the match with the crucifix pin. That's it. I have no feeling about this. 

Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler. 

WWE Photo
Was this match over in 3 seconds? Surprisingly, it wasn't. During the match, Shane McMahon came out with pretty much all of the heels in that roster and they were roaming around the ring to which Ziggler took that distraction from Owens and hits him with the zig-zag but Owens kicked out. 

Kevin Owens delivers the stunner and Shane pulls him out of the ring and Owens hits him with the stunner and ran immediately from the rest of the roster. Now, what happened to the match? I don't know.

The match seemly ended like that. Maybe it was because Shane pulled Owens out of the ring and the ref called a quite DQ (yes, that's the only possible thing I could think of how the match has ended abruptly).  That ending left me high and dry like when somebody refuses to shake your hand. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Nothing.  

Didn't like: The opening segment and the ending of this show, Where's Daniel Bryan's announcement?

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...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...

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...
