WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand. 

If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too. 

*Cue the intro* Are you Ready? 

Are you ready for mediocrity!

Then, get ready for disappointment. 

No one needs it. 

No one needs it. 

No one needs it.  

Even Bischoff. 

Are you ready for mediocrity!

*ends with some guitar solos*. 

The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review.

The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).

Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their celebrity crushes to which they introduced their guest, Carmella. 

The number one contender for the Smackdown women's championship mentioned her friendship with the current Smackdown women's champion, Bayley but that all changed once Bayley and Sasha Banks got close. 

Speaking of the champion, Bayley came out to say that she's a dominant champion even beating the hosts of Moment Of Bliss last summer. 

Carmella replied by telling the champ to put her money where her mouth is and face her for the championship right now instead of later tonight and that how the opening match of the night happened. 

Bayley vs Carmella For The SmackDown Women's Championship.

This was a good match. By far the best thing about this episode. The princess of Staten Island kicked out of a Bayley to a belly that led to a hurricanrana from the top rope minutes later. 

Carmella applied the code of silence and Bayley transitioned into a roll-up using the ropes to retain her championship. The champion then attacked the former challenger and Naomi showed up to the rescue. 

By the way, they were teammates back when they competed inside the elimination chamber for the women's tag team championship last year so that ending kinda makes sense among other things like fighting for the opportunity to face the champion at Super showdown next week on this very program. 

The women are going to Saudi Arabia once again this time for the women's championship so will see how that match turns out. 

Sheamus vs Shorty G And Apollo Crews.

It is really sad that with two talented performers, they could not beat Sheamus in a 2 on 1 advantage. Sheamus wins with a brogue kick to Apollo Crews. 

Carmella said in an interview with Kalya Braxton that the executives can name the time and place and she'll beat Bayley for the championship. 

Hulk Hogan Exclusive Interview.

Micheal Cole congratulated Hulk Hogan on being a two-time hall of Famer referring to NWO being inducted in the 2020 Hall Of Fame. Cole later asked if one of his memorable rivals, Bill Goldberg could beat The Fiend to which Hogan basically said yes. 

That led to an NWO themed segment of the firefly funhouse and Hogan told him that facing Goldberg ain't no joke and also said, "good luck". 

Bray Wyatt replied, "I don't need luck, I have A Fiend". While I'm interested in how the Universal championship match will be constructed, the build so far is not working for me. 

Sami Zayn Host His Own Concert.

You read that right, Sami Zayn hosted his own concert and was about to sing until he was interrupted by Elias which is kinda funny considering that Elias' concert has been interrupted by several superstars in his current main roster tenure. 

Zayn stated that he'll let his ringside security guards get rid of him but somehow allowed the guy to enter the ring and hear his piece of music.

The crowd started to chant "we want cowbell" because the way Cesaro used the cowbell interrupts the flow of his song. 

Both guys then stomped on Elias but Braun Strowman stormed in the ring and destroyed the security guards. If it wasn't for the Vancouver crowd, this segment would've sucked so thanks Canada. 

An Otis And Mandy Rose Valentine's Day Date.

Just Thought It Fits.
Mandy Rose was waiting for Otis and she thought the person that touched her shoulder was Otis but it was Dolph Ziggler. Otis saw both Ziggler and Rose sitting, having a conversation and that broke Otis' heart.

That made me hate Ziggler after watching this segment in a good way. It makes you even more invested in this story and also want to see Ziggler get his ass kicked. I'm very curious as to how this story leads to. 

Roman Reigns And A Mystery Partner Vs The Miz And John Morrison. 


Roman Reigns' partner is none other than his Hell In A Cell 2019 partner, Daniel Bryan. 

Speaking of Hell In A Cell, the 3 participants in this tag team match in Daniel Bryan, The Miz and John Morrison actually faced each other in a triple threat match for the United States championship at the 2010 Hell In A Cell PPV so there's a fun fact for you. 

The match itself was okay. The Miz mocks Bryan by trying to hit the running knee but Roman Reigns reversed that and delivers a spear to win this match. Having the number one contenders' for the Smackdown tag titles lose especially with a clean sweep win from Reigns and Bryan doesn't make a whole lotta sense. 

After that, King Corbin immediately hits on Roman's head with the sceptre. Can WWE for the love of mankind (not the Mick Foley version) end this feud? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Bayley vs Carmella, The Otis' valentine's day date with Mandy Rose. 

Didn't like: a lot of stomach aching filler, how the tag team main event match ended.

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.  ...

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 Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
