WWE Smackdown 6/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

This like Monday Night RAW earlier this week was a filler episode but unlike Smackdown, I actually enjoyed RAW. My overall thoughts, a bad 2 hours of professional wrestling television. 

Miz TV.  Special Guest, Originally Daniel Bryan. 

WWE Photo
I say originally because Daniel Bryan was taken under the ring by the Fiend last week and The Miz says that he cares about Daniel Bryan. 

Bray Wyatt showed up via a firefly funhouse segment and the whole theme of the funhouse is family. Wyatt then proceeds to show Miz's picture of his family and escapes the ring. 

While the segment was fine, it is the most interesting story being told in this episode. Also, The Miz is facing Bray Wyatt but not The Fiend and rather the firefly funhouse Bray Wyatt at TLC so that should be interesting. 

Mandy Rose vs Alexa Bliss.

Rose puts Bliss down and she rips Bliss's eyes lashes off. Alexa countered that with a twisted Bliss moments later and won the match. Meh. 

Drake Maverick had an interaction with Dana Brooke to which Elias sings a song basically humiliating Maverick. Drake then slaps Elias and rushes to the ring to call out Elias for a fight.

Elias shows up and he once again, humiliates Drake Maverick this time it was *queue Olivia Newton-John* physical, physical (I'll stop). Okay, you're telling me that Elias is the babyface in this? Huh? 

Miz opens a door and sees his family picture. Bray tells him from behind, "say cheese" and puts Miz down with sister Abigail. 

Mustafa Ali And Shorty G vs Lucha House Party vs The Revival vs Heavy Machinery. Elimination Match Number One Contenders Match For The Smackdown Tag Team Championship. 

WWE Photo
Ali and Metalik had an impressive back and forth reversals. Speaking of Gran Metalik, Heavy Machinery got rid of the Lucha House Party with the compactor to Metalik but the big men were eliminated by The Revival with a roll-up from Dash Wilder to Otis.

The last few moments were pretty good actually. Gable threw both members of The Revival with a German suplex however, Gable ate the shatter machine and The Revival becomes number one contender. 

Revival states in an after match promo that they're bringing the old days back by taking the title away from The New Day and restores what makes tag team wrestling great. 

A good match with a finish that anybody could see it coming. Should be a good match though. 

We went from a Roman Reigns interview about this upcoming match to Sheamus' promo saying that Smackdown has become weak and he's coming home. My god, Sheamus looks great. 

WWE Photo
After Lacey Evans squashed a jobber with the women's right, Sasha Banks came out basically saying that Evans is an embarrassment to her daughter and Evans replied saying that she was taught in the marines to fight which that's exactly what happened. Bayley then attacked Evans out of nowhere. Meh. 

Roman Reigns vs Dolph Ziggler. 

WWE Photo
Ziggler pushes Roman onto the ring post and hits the zig-zag but Reigns kicked out. Corbin argues with the ref and Roman hits him with the superman punch, delivers the spear to Ziggler and Roman wins this one. 

Reigns was assaulted by a bunch of security guards hired by the 2019 King Of The Ring winner and handcuffed Roman which led to Dolph throwing him some dog food because get it? He calls himself the big dog? 

Boy, that was horrible. I don't know what WWE was thinking of putting the ending of this episode together thinking that it's so good. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Fatal four-way tag team match. 

Didn't like: The ending, the Elias and Maverick feud.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
