WWE Smackdown Live 17/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

Image result for roman reigns on smackdown live
Smackdown Live was like Clash of Champions, okay overall. That’s it. 

Oh, you wanna know why I feel this way? Okay, well here you go. 

The New Day vs The Revival And Randy Orton.

This show started off with a match. A 6 man tag team match in fact which is a nice change of pace. for this show. Wish I could say the same thing about this match. Not that I have a problem with this match but rather it was okay. The match ended with Big E preventing an RKO machine and Kofi delivers the trouble in paradise to win this match but then, out came Brock Lesnar along with Paul Heyman and no, it's not a typo.


Heyman said that it's a bad day for the New Day yes it is and was informed that Brock Lesnar challenges Kofi to match for the WWE title on Friday Night SmackDown premiere on FOX. Kofi accepts it and ate an F5 afterwards. 
Kofi will defend the WWE Title against Lesnar on Friday, Oct. 4, the premiere of SmackDown LIVE on FOX!

This is no pun intended, big news and Kofi has faced Lesnar before so will the outcome be the same on Friday? Will find out soon. Also, when they put the match graphics later in the night, they played that theme song and I'm not feeling it right now. 

Erick Rowan had a sit-down interview with Micheal Cole about Luke Harper's return and his win at Clash Of Champions thanks to Harper and he said that he no longer wants to be a follower but rather a leader. Meh. 

Ali vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

The match hasn't begun thanks to Sami Zayn distracting Ali which led to a Kinshasa but after that beatdown, Kevin Owens came out with his lawyer I suppose and Shane McMahon brought up paperwork as well as Kevin Owens along with a mic. 

Kevin Owens told him about the paperwork which is a lawsuit in which he gets somewhere in the 20 million dollars range and he did this to embarrassed Shane because he feels that he’s been treated unfairly. I don't blame the guy, pay your bills man. 

Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks.

Before the match, Offset from Migos introduced Charlotte Flair which was nice. Charlotte took out both Banks and Bayley with a moonsault. The match ended in a DQ because Bayley put her hands on Flair after Flair did the figure 4.

A 2 on 1 beating later and Carmella came out to even the odds. I forgot to mention this in my RAW review yesterday that the RAW women's championship will take place inside hell in a cell and I can't wait for it. The match was aight. By the way, Carmella of all people makes the save? Bayley and Carmella were good friends in real life but that wasn't referenced at all on TV so? 

The Coronation Of King Corbin. 

Corbin cracks a bunch of height jokes and claims that Chad is like all these people because all their dreaming and hard work will still result in them coming up short!

After he wore the cap and the crown, Corbin cut a promo basically saying that he's the king that everybody needs and calls out one of the finals of the king of the ring tournament which was Chad Gable.

King Corbin made short jokes and Gable wasn't having it which led to Gable destroying the crown, the cap and that stick that I don't know the name of. The fact that Chad is getting featured after the tournament is really nice. That segment was decent though. 

Heavy Machinery vs The B Team. 

WWE Photo
This match was one-sided aka it was a squash match (no shit, Omar). Heavy Machinery won the match with the compactor. 

Daniel Bryan Speaks After He Ate An Iron Claw Two Weeks Ago. 

Bryan recalls being the one to give Erick Rowan a chance when no one else would and winning the SmackDown Tag Team Titles together and claims he always treated Rowan as his friend.

So, Daniel Bryan came out to talk about Erick Rowan and how he feels betrayed because he's treated Rowan nothing but the utmost respect. 

Speaking of the devil, out came Erick Rowan and he told him that he's basically tired of being a puppet and Luke Harper sought attacked Bryan and they ganged up on the former planet's champion. The Big Dog makes the save but that failed thanks to a powerbomb on the ring post and a double crucifix bomb to Bryan through a table.

Just like Charlotte, I guess Bryan is a face once again and I'm not feeling it at this moment. However, Rowan and Harper have looked strong for the second night this week and honestly, I'm impressed. 

I mean they were built up pretty nicely before and they ended up being not interesting and gone nowhere if that makes sense so I hope that it's not the case this time. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: the ending, Chad Gable being a major feud.

Didn’t Like: Carmella showing up made no sense.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
