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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
