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.

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.

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.

WWE RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
