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.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this   review contains a few minor spoilers).  The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament.  If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

  That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement.  Images via WWE.com   Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness.  The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black.  In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer.  Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background.  Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...
