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 Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown 13/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Smackdown this week was solid. It did its job of making me somewhat look forward to Summerslam.  Images via WWE.com John Cena Exchanged Some Words With Roman Reigns.  This opening segment was pretty much John Cena telling Roman Reigns that he'll slay the tribal chief at SummerSlam  (which I forgot is next Sunday).  The scene sounds generic but it was constructed in such a way that it stands out which in return made the segment all that unique (*cough, cough* CM Punk and Dean Ambrose).  John Cena's confidence and aggression are the ones to thank here which is something that was missing in him going back to the sudden rise of the so-called "cenation".  Roman Reigns aka "I hate boring sex positions"? Well, he's still f***king excellent.  The Street Profits vs Chad Gable And Otis.  A decent match. Some miscommunications between the referee and Alpha Academy is how The Street Profits picked up the victory.   King Shinsuke Nakamura vs Apollo C...
