WWE Smackdown 18/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

If you like filler episodes, this show is for you. The rest of us? Well, it's skippable, to say the least.

Roman Reigns vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

This match was okay with a generic ending to set up a match. Thanks to Corbin's sceptre, Shinsuke Nakamura retains the intercontinental championship and the bad guys stopped a returning Daniel Bryan from evening the odds for the big dog.

The New Day was disturbed when Otis drank a pancake batter with protein powder in a backstage segment. Kofi might tease a possible heel turn based on his "happy" face but that could completely not mean anything.

Also, something that happened backstage, Kalya Braxton asked Corbin why he has attacked Roman Reigns and Corbin with a smile on his face, walked off.

Chad Gable vs Curtis Axel.

After Gable's win, he was asked by Kayla about his height. Gable says that he has embraced his height and decides to *sigh* shorted his last name to G.

Hence, his new name is Shorty G. Shorty G sounds like a terrible rapper spamming in world star hip hop's comment section back in the late 2000s.

I will say this, if there's one person that can make this work is *sigh* Shorty G given that he has very good comedic timing but that could also crash and burn his momentum.

The New Day in Xavier Woods and Big E and Heavy Machinery vs Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode and The Revival.

The match ends with a midnight hour from The New Day and the babyface team won the match. An okay match.

Kalya is working hard by doing all the interviews herself and her next interview is Daniel Bryan about his tag team match. Daniel simply said that he's going to put Corbin and Shinsuke in their places.

Miz TV. Special Guest, Bayley.

Sasha Banks was by her side in this entire segment and The Miz was curious as to Bayley's new attitude and why she has made all the kids cry?

Bayley doesn't owe anyone an explanation. Miz then called among other things, someone that destroys the Bayley buddies to gain relevancy.

Bayley replied by saying "F everybody" and pulled a Vince McMahon line from the early 2000s "life sucks and then you die".

That led to some of the competitors in the six-pack challenge number one contenders match for the Smackdown women's championship coming out because that match was next.

Good stuff from Bayley and I especially liked how she brought a great Vince McMahon promo ironically from an episode of Smackdown.

Carmella vs Sonya Deville vs Mandy Rose vs Dana Brooke vs Nikki Cross vs Lacey Evans. Number One Contenders Match For The Smackdown Women's Championship.

Dana Brooke at one point, hits a beautiful senton from the top rope to Lacey Evans.

The match ended with a swinging neckbreaker from Nikki Cross to Mandy Rose and Cross is the number one contender for the Smackdown women's championship.

After Bayley's feud with Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss this past summer, I'm honestly tired of that match.

I would much prefer Carmella winning this match considering that Bayley and Carmella were once friends and they could play out their history but that's just me.

Braun Strowman vs Drew Gulak.

Drew Gulak introduces himself before his debut match and he warns Braun Strowman that Fury might beat him by showing him a PowerPoint presentation.

Braun wasn't having it and he destroys the former cruiserweight champion. The Big man won the match with a running powerslam. This is probably the first time I've seen Gulak brought up a PowerPoint presentation in a serious which is odd to see.

Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan vs Shinsuke Nakamura and King Baron Corbin.

King Corbin broke up a rebel lock from Daniel Bryan. Roman then speared the hell out of Corbin through a barricade.

Daniel Bryan hits the running knee to Shinsuke Nakamura to win this tag team bout. A Daniel Bryan Shinsuke Nakamura match? Sign me up.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The Miz TV segment.

Didn't like: All the matches were underwhelming to watch.

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...
