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.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling. Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong. An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys. Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge. Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was. Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website. I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows. The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010. The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
