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. 

WWE Photo
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 RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...
