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.

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...
