WWE Smackdown 10/1/20 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a month hiatus from not reviewing this show and the question is, Did I miss something?

Not really but the show was meh (you're going to see a lot of the word "meh" in this recap) but meh is better than horrible so for that, the blue brand has improved the quality of storytelling in certain aspects of course.

Miz TV. Special Guest, John Morrison.

Miz mentioned in his promo about how his statement aka a beating from Miz to Kofi was him having a bad day at the office and apologizes to the New Day member. He then introduced his best friend John Morrison who by the way is rocking the 2006 blonde hair kinda look.

Morrison stated that he's disappointed at the fans for chanting at Miz "you suck" and proceeds to insult the fans for not working as hard as Miz inside the squared circle. The New Day showed up and they asked him who is Miz fooling? That back and forth led to a match and speaking of which….

Kofi Kingston vs The Miz.

A rematch from last week and it was a fun one. Kingston did a flying crossbody to a near fall before delivering a suicide dive on the outside to the A-lister. Kofi was distracted by Morrison's wrestling move on Big E to which Miz took that as an advantage to lock in the skull-crushing finale and won the match.

I find it funny that the last time Morrison was on WWE TV was Miz hitting the skull-crushing finale to John on the stage area, almost 10 years and now he's out here defending the guy.

Also, using Bray Wyatt as a catalyst to complete Miz's turn to the dark side was fantastic. It wasn't a typical random heel turn that you usually see on professional wrestling television so kudos to the creative team for that rare intriguing storyline.

Speaking of Bray Wyatt, he had a firefly funhouse segment and he told the fans that he loves them. After that, Mandy Rose gave Otis a cake as an apology to what Ziggler did to Otis' cake made by his mom weeks back (I'm no pun intended, eating this love story up. Take notes RAW).

Also, Elias had his signature concert and sang a song about his role in the Royal Rumble match. Meh.

Mandy Rose vs Alexa Bliss.

Thanks to a distraction from Otis, Mandy picks up the W with a roll-up. A mediocre match.

Lacey Evans vs Sasha Banks.

There was no match because according to Bayley via titantron, Sasha is in Los Angeles finishing up her rap album leading to Bayley insulting Lacey's daughter.

Evans heard enough and left the ring to look for Bayley. Bayley ambushed her and hits her with a series of rights. Meh.

Daniel Bryan was done with his interview with Kalya Braxton and in the monitor next to him, the rabbit was going to tell Bryan how to defeat The Fiend, however, Wyatt shut his mouth saying that snitches get stitches. Apparently, The Fiend is a fan of HBO's The Wire. Who knew?

Braun Strowman vs Shinsuke Nakamura.

Strowman wins here with the running powerslam so that means he's getting an intercontinental championship match (no sh*t, Omar). It was aight.

The mind games continue as Bryan sees a present, opens it and sees the puppet rabbit dead. Rest in pieces.

The Usos vs King Corbin And Dolph Ziggler.

Before they squared off inside the ring, they had a verbal back and forth which was meh. The match itself was okay. The Revival showed up and that gave the heel team an advantage to continue dominating this match.

Roman Reigns then delivers the superman punch and speared Corbin minutes later ending the match in a DQ.

Robert Roode came back and hits Reigns with a spinebuster on the announce table but the table didn't break so instead, Corbin had a plan to break the table and it was an elbow drop from the show off on Roman through a table which was executed as planned. It's good to see The Usos back as well as Robert Roode.

With that being said, the ending was okay for what it was. It certainly didn't make me like this storyline all over sudden like an out of nowhere Vince Russo written heel turn.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Kofi Kingston vs The Miz, the mind games from The Fiend.

Didn't like: Mandy Rose vs Alexa Bliss.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG". It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire. Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine. As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game. And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system). I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much. Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way. I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
