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.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

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...
