WWE Smackdown 7/8/20 | A Coherent Review.


If you love no disqualifications finishes then this show is for you.

SmackDown is finally the Arsenal of television shows.

One week, it delivers a good showing and the next week is the exact opposite.

Firefly funhouse.

It looks like the preview promos from various superstars are no more?

In this short edition of the firefly funhouse, Bray says that Braun has what The Fiend wants and that is the universal championship.

I mean, why would Bray put Braun Strowman in that dirty a** swamp?

Matt Riddle vs "Too Many Limes, Too Many Limes" Sheamus.

The match was good, good, good. The match concluded via a DQ because of Shorty G taking advantage out of King Corbin's ransom.

Which means that Matt is the winner of the match. That pissed Sheamus off and he brogue kicked Shorty G not once but twice.

Sheamus confronted King Corbin in a backstage segment saying that he'll kick Corbin's head off.

If The Celtic Warrior is going to be a babyface, can not please be his 2012 self where he lost his badass ways and became a bad comedian?

Miz And John Morrison Talked To Mandy Rose's Hair.

Yes, that's literally what they did. They interviewed "Mandy Rose's hair".

"Rose's hair" was playing the victim in this conversation pretty much blaming Mandy Rose for some reason (that was stupid). 

The hosts of the Dirt Sheets then brought up their other guest, Sonya Deville.


Deville basically said that she wanted to make Rose ugly on the outside as she is on the inside.

Out came Heavy Machinery and they gave a beating to Miz And Morrison.

Hey, at least it didn't lead to a tag team match, right? *sees a match graphic that the match is happening* F**K!

Cesaro vs Lince Dorado.

The match would've been better if given more time but nevertheless, it was decent. Cesaro defeated Lince with the neutralizer.

I honestly thought that Dorado would win the match given that the blue brand literally got no tag teams and the show has no tag team title on the line at SummerSlam.

The Fiend Appears On Smackdown.

With full entrance as a matter of fact. The Fiend tried to nail the mandible claw on Bliss again.

However, Wyatt was interrupted by "it was definitely not an iPhone" video promo from Braun Strowman saying that The Fiend will encounter the monster at SummerSlam.

We went from a great ending like Smackdown last week to a disappointing segment like this one.

Jeff Hardy vs King Corbin.

WWE Photo


The match was over with a DQ thanks to a brogue kick from Sheamus to Jeff Hardy, declaring Hardy the winner of that bout.

It was followed by an impromptu match between Sheamus and King Corbin that ended with a brogue kick that gave Sheamus the victory due to a distraction by Matt Riddle.

In an interview with Kalya Braxton, Big E was encouraged by his brothers in Kofi and Xavier Woods as well as the fans to purse a singles run and he was thankful for that.

Sasha Banks and Bayley were called to a room for a video conference by Stephanie McMahon.

The boss (not Sasha Banks) told the so-called boss that Banks will face Asuka at SummerSlam.

As far as Bayley's title is concerned, there will be a triple brand battle royal to determine Bayley's challenger at SummerSlam for the SmackDown women's championship.

What does a triple brand battle royal even mean? Will find out next week when that battle royal takes place.

Heavy Machinery vs The Miz And John Morrison.

WWE Photo


Morrison's entrance isn't the same without pyro.

Also, the tag match ended with a DQ due to Mandy Rose beating up Sonya Deville? Huh?

Nevermind that awful finish, why did every match on this show (except for one) end with a DQ?

WWE Photo


So, a masked group called Retribution hijacked the show to end this week's episode of Smackdown.

Well, that was ridiculous and the camera shots didn't make this a whole lot better either. That was so f'ing lame.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Sheamus vs Matt Riddle.

Didn't like: Too many DQs, the ridiculous ending.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
