WWE Smackdown 31/7/20 | A Coherent Review.



Smackdown this week, left me with a lot of intrigues while at the same time, having more questions than answers. And trust me, it's a good thing. 

Before a fun IC title match took place, a Firefly funhouse episode aired and Bray Wyatt pretty much said that the Universal championship belongs to The Fiend. 

AJ Styles vs Gran Metalik For The Intercontinental Championship

Speaking of that fun IC title match. Styles retained the Intercontinental Championship with the calf crusher  (obviously, duh?). I don't know where the IC championship scene leads (hoping it's Big E challenging him) but it should be intriguing. 

In a backstage scene, King Corbin told Shorty G that he has been overlooked as a competitor that competed in the Olympics. 

In other words, Corbin was manipulating Chad into taking out Matt Riddle because the King’s Ransom is still open (no f'ing sh*t, Omar). 

Jeff Hardy Talks About Winning The Bar Fight. 

Hardy says that the reason why he has a smile on his face is that he finally took out a bully like Sheamus.

He now wants to focus on being a father and performing in front of the fans. 

King Corbin came out to express that Hardy has to deal with his problems whether Hardy likes it or not. 

The King also feels that he's going crazy due to the fact that he has to deal with Matt Riddle and Drew Gulak.

That led to a match between Gulak and Corbin and it was fine (by the way, Jeff F**ked the right off after the segment which made me laugh unintentionally). 

The ending though was interesting. After Corbin won his match with the end of days, Riddle was successful in putting King out of the ring but Shorty G of all people, attacked Riddle with the German suplex. 

A strange relationship being portrayed by the King and the Olympian. 

So, Shorty G's a heel now? Which means that WWE could call him Chad Gable again? 

This could benefit the performer if the powers that be play their cards right. 

Big E vs The Miz.

Another enjoyable bout between two talented guys. 

Miz nailed the skull-crushing finale to Big E and the big man kicked out despite the interference from John Morrison. 

Immediately after the referee made Morrison leave the building, Big E locked in the Brock Lock to win the match. 

The right man won the match. That is how you put the puzzle together of a Big E singles run. 

Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura made fun of Lucha House Party due to them not being champions. Who would’ve thought that the RAW tag team division is better than Smackdown and NXT’s division COMBINED! 

Meanwhile, Sheamus says in a backstage promo that he gave Jeff Hardy an advantage and how the locker room should watch out for the Celtic Warrior. Cool. 

Lacey Evans vs Naomi.

A match that I've seen once before and I don't watch to see it again and WWE reacted that with "b*tch, you thought". Naomi won the match with a backslide. Not a good encounter.

The folks that we haven't seen in quite some time, Mandy Rose and Otis were preparing themselves for a date in a barbeque spot. Rose tells him to wait so that she can get ready. 

From outta nowhere, Sonya Deville gave that woman a BEATING. 

While Deville was about to shave Mandy's hair, the officials prevented that from happening. Sonya looked like a trillion dollars in that scene. What a God damn star. 

Bayley vs Nikki Cross For The SmackDown Women's Championship.

A decent main event title match. One-half of the golden role models continue their two women power trip with the rose plant. 

Nikki for some reason, pushed her friend Alexa Bliss and left the ring to which The Fiend choked out Bliss with the mandible claw. 

To quote R Truth, "I don't know if that's PG". Is Nikki Cross going to be psycho Nikki Cross again? Who the hell knows. I will say that the ending was a great way to have me tune in to next week's program. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: AJ Styles vs Gran Metalik For The Intercontinental Championship, Big E vs The Miz, a lot of intrigue being built throughout the show, Sonya Deville beatdown to Mandy. 

Didn't like: Naomi vs Lacey Evans.

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
