WWE Smackdown 31/1/20 | My Coherent Review.

I said in my Smackdown review a few weeks back that this show is quote "has improved bit by bit as of late but not drastic as I hope it would be." 

I don't know what kind of drink I consumed but this episode was the exact opposite of "improved". It was an episode that made me question myself if I actually like wrestling or not. 

Will have to tune in next week if the return of "The Dirt Sheets" and a Daniel Bryan live segment convinces me otherwise. 

Roman Reigns And King Corbin Have Some Unfinished Business That Frustrates Fans (Like Moi).

The heading above sounds like a Kayfabe news article but it was not my fellow wrestling fans. 

Roman Reigns and The Usos opened about the big dog's win at Royal Rumble to which King Corbin and his gang challenged him to a 6 man tag team match and Reigns accepts but adds a stipulation that the loser of the match eats dog food. 

This reminds me of when you're friend challenges you to a video game and the person that takes the L eats something disgusting. 

That was an equivalent to it but the difference is that I'm consuming a television show that is written and produced by professionals and the idea of the loser eating dog food screams amateur to me. 

John Morrison And The Miz vs Heavy Machinery vs The Revival vs Lucha House Party. Winner Faces The New Day For The SmackDownTag Team Championship At Super showdown.

Why would Morrison and Miz face some competitors in order to face The New Day even though they pinned ⅔ of The New Day in singles action? 

I get that they want to give other superstars some spotlight but it just doesn't make sense. The match was aight though. The Dirt Sheets wins and faces The New Day at Super showdown for the tag titles. 

Otis despite in a losing effort moments ago, asked Mandy Rose to a date next Friday but Rose has plans. 

However, she did follow that up saying that she's free next, next Friday and Otis was thrilled. Otis is one lucky guy. Good on him. 

Mandy Rose And Sonya Deville vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross.

The team of Bliss and Cross wins this tag match with a twisted Bliss to Mandy Rose. Meh. 

Braun Strowman vs Shinsuke Nakamura For The Intercontinental Championship.

Strowman was mostly dominant throughout this match so you didn't miss much in terms of match quality. The monster among men captures his first singles WWE title with the running powerslam. 

Nakamura didn't do anything meaningful with the intercontinental championship so taking off of the artist is a nice change. Will see if the almighty WWE booking helps the big man or not.

A frustrated Sami Zayn was interviewed by Alyson and he was annoyed by Elias' guitar skills inside the ring. 

They verbally went back and forth to which Zayn tells Cesaro to take care of the situation. Cesaro and Elias fought for a bit then Elias threw Cesaro over the top rope. Yawn. 

Sheamus vs Shorty G.

I loved how Shorty G hits Sheamus behind and casually walks to the ring. That was hilarious. But, it didn't help Chad win because he lost with the brogue kick. 

Bayley Looks At Her New Potential Challenger.

Bayley with a smile on her face, brags about beating Lacey Evans in front of Evans' daughter and points out that she has beaten everybody. 

That last point was a calling for Naomi who recently returned in the women's Royal Rumble match that got non-wrestling fans no pun intended, glowing about her on Twitter. 

Bayley sucker-punched Naomi but it wasn't enough to put her down because Naomi immediately hits her with a disaster kick. A very good segment actually. It builds to a new, fresh and exciting match-up that we haven't seen before and for that reason, ya boy is intrigued. 

Roman Reigns and The Usos vs King Corbin, Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. Loser Eats Dog Food. 

WWE Photo
The babyface team wins with a roll-up from the big dog. The Usos locked Corbin with handcuffs while the king tries to escape and Reigns speared him for good measure leading to Corbin eating literal dog food. 

Micheal Cole was having a good time when Roman poured Corbin some dog food. This is a bad idea come to life, you know like Mike Myers dressed in Cat costume. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Naomi and Bayley segment.

Didn't like: The main event and the ending, opening segment, the whole Elias, Sami Zayn and Cesaro segment, having The Miz and Morrison fight for a number one contendership despite pinning Kofi and Big E in singles competition made no sense.

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...

WWE Smackdown 12/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

While there were a few redeeming qualities about this week's episode of Smackdown, the show as a whole was kinda bleh to me. Images via WWE.com   Chaos Ensued Amongst The SmackDown Women's Survivor Series Team.  Sonya Deville introduced the participants in the women's Smackdown Survivor Series team to which a brawl ensued after Sasha Banks wanted to beat up Shotzi. Naomi came out to even the odds between the heels and the babyfaces in that scene.  And you know what all of that means? A 6 women tag team match, Playas. By far, the most impressive person in this match was Naomi. The finesse she showed with her series of kicks was *chefs kiss*.  Speaking of impressive, the crowd was BEHIND Aliyah and that's cool. Naomi's assistance led to Aliyah pinning Natalya to win the entire match. I said "Naomi's assistance" for a reason because as soon as that victory, Aliyah was taken out of the Survivor Series team.  God damn, Sonya Deville legit hates POCs succeed...

RUMOUR: The Rock Offered 20 Million Dollars By Saudi Arabia To Become Champion?

Now you are probably reading this headline like "what?" but it is a speculation after all. From the dirty sheets , they've been told that Saudi Arabia  offered Dwyane 'The Rock" Johnson 20 million dollars to become WWE champion in an event on April of 2019.  A rumoured match for him is against Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at Wrestlemania which Dwayne was offered 4 million dollars for that match. If he accepts those offers, he would be the first wrestler to make that amount of money.  What do I think of this? I think this is nonsense in my opinion and the reason being is because if you go to his IMDB page, he has 11 I repeat 11 movies to appear on. Four of them are coming in 2019. and two of them are rumoured as of writing this so It's highly unlikely but never say never as they say.   What do you think of this? Sound off in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.  ...
