WWE Smackdown 22/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Friday is the 6th day of the week (OMG, really?) and while it is a start to a hopefully fun and fulfilled weekend, Friday is also the day that Smackdown airs which is a wrestling program that is a current face of the word "mediocrity." 

This episode was no exception to the word "mediocrity" and because of that, I'm not going to talk about everything that happened but rather a few noteworthy things to talk about. 

I will give some credit to the blue brand for at least progressing storylines like the women's title scene and Otis' love story. Now, on with the short review. 

The Bella Twins' Hall Of Fame Class Of 2020 Is Now Made Official.

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice's overall fan divisiveness is nothing compared to this announcement and even the rumours of them going into the hall of fame. Enough about them, how do I feel about it? 

Honestly, neutral. For years, I've not been this invested as to who goes in the hall of fame as much as the rest. It's something that I don't get worked up about. 

Would it be great if one of my favourite performers gets a hall of fame induction? Heck yes but I don't get angry when a superstar I'm not a fan of, does get the induction instead.

One of the things that I appreciate about The Bella Twins is that they've found a way to adapt with the times whether it was the PG Divas Era where every women's wrestler got minimum 3 minutes of screen time in their early run or when WWE started the "women's revolution" or the "women's evolution" (make up your damn mind) and wrestled in 10 or 20-minute matches in their later run.

It is a shame though that Brie Bella's last few months with the company terms of in-ring work wasn't good but looking back, Brie Bella tried her best to entertain and it wasn't executed properly, unfortunately. 

Their "twin magic" gimmick made them stand out amongst the rest of the division at that time especially as the antagonists when they would use it to you guessed it, win matches. In the world of only "thumbs up" or "thumbs down", I'm giving it a thumbs up but I'm not enthusiastic as the Bella Army are. 

Goldberg Meets The Fiend In Person.

This entire build for the Universal championship match at Super showdown was short and lacklustre at the same time. I will say that I'm very curious as to how this match will be constructed. 

Who do I think wins this one? I'm going with The Fiend but I wouldn't be surprised if Bill wins this match. If Goldberg wins which would've been a mistake, in my opinion, I would be lying if a Goldberg vs Roman Reigns match is not at least, intriguing to me. 

Bayley vs Naomi At Super Showdown Is Happening. 


The Naomi vs Carmella match wasn't mind-blowing but I was surprised that Naomi was going to face Bayley so soon given that I thought WWE was saving that match for Wrestlemania 36. 

I don't think that a triple threat match between Carmella, Naomi and Bayley would happen as another women's match over at the yellow brand for the NXT women's championship match between Charlotte, Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair is becoming more of a possibility. 

Will have to wait and see where the SmackDown side of the women's division brings to Wrestlemania.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, this is the best WWE main roster PPV of the year with some bad booking decisions and here's why. By the way, I can't talk about the preshow match because I haven't seen it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Nia Jax and Tamina vs The Riott Squad vs Naomi and Carmella vs Fire and Desire vs The IIconics. Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.  This was a good match. The IIconics eliminated the team of Naomi and Carmella with a double roll up pin by the IIconics to Naomi.  The Iconics then got eliminated by Nia Jax and Tamina with a double Samoan drop and eliminated The Riott Squad with a top rope Samoan Drop from Nia Jax to Liv Morgan and a Samoan Splash from Tamina to Sarah Logan.  Nia Jax and Tamina were eliminated by Sasha banks and Bayley with an elbow drop to Tamina.  The match ended with Sasha used her thigh instead of her arm to apply the bank statement to Sonya Deville and just like that, the boss n’ hug connect...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With MLW's Myron Reed, Quick Thoughts On Smackdown.

A rare Saturday edition of 5 news week but if you're new here, I publish this weekly news article every Sunday and the format goes like this.  I report on 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately and I put them in one post.  Yes, there was a lot of news that dropped in a single day but since I'm posting this on Saturday morning, the 4 news this week is before Friday.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With MLW's Myron Reed.   via MLW Myron Reed has been in the pro wrestling scene since 2016 and picked up an impressive portfolio for himself.  Reed worked with current stars like AJ Gray, NXT's Joaquin Wilde, Matt Cross aka Son Of Havoc, AEW's The Lucha Brothers, Best Friends, and a whole lot more. via MLW So, I asked Reed about his time in OVW and whether being a tag team wrestler was the goal or not?  "Actually, I started in a small town called Central City (In Kentucky...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
