Why I Haven't Reviewed Smackdown In 2 Weeks.

Image result for smackdown on fox
I know you don't care about a dude (moi) writing about why he hasn't reviewed Smackdown in 2 weeks on an unknown site called "Playard Wrestling Post" but hear me out.

Ever since the brand split was brought back, the blue brand's quality of television was like a roller-coaster ride, full of ups and downs. That overused metaphor can especially be applied as to how the powers that be, constructed each Smackdown episode in 2019. 

Smackdown on FOX is a great example of the shows' downward in quality storytelling. Other than maybe Bray Wyatt, every episode of Smackdown on FOX was underwhelming and in some cases, flat out horrendous. 

Elias is apparently a babyface even though the things he's saying sounds like something a heel would say, King Corbin makes fun of Roman Reigns' big dog persona in the lamest of ways, the women's division is as weak as the news you read on Wrestling Twitter and many more. 

I want to like Smackdown, I really do but if that's Smackdown answer to good storytelling then I'm unfortunately going to pan this show every week. 

It is sad that I'm doing this every Saturday afternoon (my time) but I'm sure there's someone out there that enjoys what WWE is putting out on FOX and you know what? That's awesome and I celebrate that. 

And yes, this is probably the shortest essay I’ve written on this site but I wanna get something out of my chest. Anyways, do you guys think that Smackdown on FOX is good, bad or somewhat in between? 

Sound off in the comments below on what do you think about it? Follow ya boy on the Twitta @omartheplayaguy and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

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...
