WWE Smackdown 1/11/19 | My Coherent Review.

NXT has taken over and to quote Robert Roode, it was glorious. I don't know how this show will turn out if it was a regularly scheduled show. 

This is the best Smackdown on FOX episode and that's all thanks to NXT. I know that's due to most superstars having travelling issues from Saudi Arabia back to the States but they’ve managed to give us a fun episode and it was something that we haven't seen coming. 

Brock Lesnar Is Pissed Off.

The beast and the advocate started off this episode of Smackdown and Paul says that Brock is angry. The reason is? Rey Mysterio hits Lesnar with a series of chair shots which is funny to say given that I said the exact opposite in my Crown Jewel review. 

Heyman went on to say that Brock Lesnar officially quits Friday Night SmackDown in order to appear on Monday Night RAW this coming week to hunt Rey Mysterio. They did show us the full WWE championship at Crown Jewel so depending on who you are, you may like it or not like it.  I personally didn't but the segment overall was aight. After they left the arena, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were looking on. Alright. Are they teasing something?

Bayley vs Nikki Cross For The SmackDown Women's Championship.

The match ended thanks to Bayley's only buddy in Sasha Banks and retained the SmackDown women's title. However, Shayna Baszler came out and destroyed Bayley.

When Sami Zayn had an interview with Cathy Kelly, Matt Riddle and Keith Lee showed up and Zayn was basically sucking up to those guys. Sami told them that he has an NXT short and he'll get it, however, Zayn ran to the ring and both men beat up Sami Zayn. As you can tell, there's a theme being told in this episode and that is N. X. T.

Miz TV. No Guest Yet.

Miz was talking about his old guest in Bray Wyatt and Wyatt couldn't show up for obvious reasons. The reason why the title above is relevant is that Tommaso Ciampa slowly walks to the ring and tells the Miz that Miz may play the part but Ciampa is the part.

Miz replies saying that if Ciampa wants to make a statement then make a God damn statement and that statement is a match. A very good match indeed. Miz locks in the figure four lock but Ciampa escapes. Tommaso Ciampa delivers the fairytale ending and won the match. 

In a backstage segment, Daniel Bryan looks at Hunter and Shawn Michaels and Bryan challenged Triple H to a match that night. 

Hunter said that he's not in ring gear but he brought in Adam Cole to face the planet's champion. Bryan accepted only if Cole puts his NXT Title on the line and Adam accepts it bay bay. 

Rhea Ripley and Tegan Nox vs Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

Carmella and Dana Brooke were supposed to face Mandy Rose and Sonya but Bianca Belair absolutely destroyed Dana Brooke and threw Carmella above the production boxes for some sort which led to Rhea Ripley and Tegan Nox taking their place. 

Ripley taps out Mandy with a modified cloverleaf. This was basically a squash match but it did its job on putting NXT over. 

Adam Cole vs Daniel Bryan For The NXT Championship.

Bryan delivers the german suplex from the top rope and misses the headbutt. Daniel then applies pressure on Adam's back with the half Boston crab which led to a rebel lock being locked in by Bryan but Cole somehow escaped.

Adam Cole delivers the Panama sunrise and the last shot to Daniel Bryan and pins a former WWE champion which is very impressive. After the match, the rest of the NXT roster came out in support of Adam Cole to which Triple H cut a promo basically saying that we are N. X. T. Great match, great ending and a fun episode overall. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: NXT Invasion, Adam Cole vs Daniel Bryan, Ciampa vs Miz. 


Didn't like: Nothing.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

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...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
