WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This show was miles better than last week's episode. I wouldn't go as far as to say that it was fantastic however, it was decent and most importantly, WATCHABLE.

The show opened with all the superstars talking about what they're going to do on that episode.

"What does AJ even stand for"? Matt Riddle asks (Allen Jones. It's Allen Jones, Matt).

Big E vs Cesaro. Winner Chooses Either A Tables Match Or A Steel Cage Match For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.

A main roster show kicked off the episode with a MATCH!? That's rare. This bout was good. I would've liked the match to last just a tiny bit longer but again, a good match nevertheless.

Big E at one point locked in in a modified Brock Lock which is a move that I've not seen in many moons now.

Due to Shinsuke Nakamura's interference, Cesaro nailed the neutralizer to win the match and the winner chose a tables match.

Because of the sheer talent, this tag team title match at Extreme Rules should be good.

King Corbin in an interview with Kalya Braxton, said that Matt Riddle is playing with fire and he's going to get burnt.

A Moment Of Bliss. Special Guest, A Mystery.

That mystery guest was revealed as an interference from Bayley, Sasha Banks or at least that's what I thought. The guest was the empress herself, Asuka.

Well, that was disappointing like what was a point of a mystery tease? That led to a tag match between the golden role models, Nikki Cross and Asuka and it was fine.

The number one contender of the SmackDown women's championship just got pinned by the champion. Nice *sarcasm of course*.

Firefly Funhouse Time.

Appearing as his "eater of worlds" character (which is one of the most underutilized characters in the history of pro wrestling), Wyatt said that he created the monster among men and how he gave him purpose.

Bray Wyatt shows the swamp that to quote himself, "lights the dark and the devil comes to dance".

Braun Strowman's promo before his match with John Morrison as well as this segment was actually decent. It's a shame that I'm not looking forward to the swamp fight.

Braun Strowman vs John Morrison.

Speaking of which. This was a one-sided encounter. Strowman won the match with the running powerslam.

Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

Yay, a rematch no one asked for!!!! But hey, At least Lacey Evans is once more a heel, right? Oh, and Evans won the match if you actually cared about the results of a great match that is Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

Jeff Hardy tells Kalya Braxton that he's nervous regarding being in a bar fight but he can't run from it to which Sheamus kicked Hardy's head off. Cool.

Another person that told Kalya Braxton something is Bayley and she said that she has momentum because of mass times the velocity and Bayley’s got the mass (referring to her title belts of course).

Nikki Cross then attacked Bayley from behind but Alexa Bliss separated her. I don't care about this title match, to be honest.

Matt Riddle vs AJ Styles For The Intercontinental Championship.

By far, the best match of the night. Riddle did a bro to sleep followed by a powerbomb followed by a knee strike. What a sequence.

Styles then delivered a brutal looking brainbuster from the top rope. Riddle locked in the bro mission but Styles got out of it.

Instead, Styles rolled Riddle up with a pin and the phenomenal one retained the championship.

The champ actually shook Riddle's hand however, it was an ambush as King Corbin attacked Riddle and hit him with the end of days to close off the episode.

Whenever Corbin feuds with someone, it's always an automatic "I don't care about this rivalry".

It's probably due to how uninteresting his storylines have been showcased or maybe how boring his character is.

I'm sure the match between Riddle and Corbin will be good though.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Matt Riddle vs AJ Styles For The Intercontinental Championship, Cesaro vs Big E.

Didn't like: The moment of Bliss, Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement. Images via WWE.com Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness. The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black. In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer. Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background. Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this review contains a few minor spoilers). The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament. If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...
