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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
