WWE Smackdown 30/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

Happy Halloween and I, as usual, didn't dress up because why not, right? 

Now, how was Smackdown? It was pretty decent but this ain't a WWE show without one bad segment.

Roman Reigns Tells Jey Uso To Fall In Line. 

Jey Uso passionately told his cousin that he ain't falling in line for Roman Reigns. 

Reigns, however, calmly told Jey that all of the family is behind him and if he didn't join him then Jey is out of the family.  

Jey then shouts, "I hate you! Why you gotta do me like that, man?" 

Roman Reigns is so good playing a f'ing d**k especially when he didn't sympathize as to what Jey was going through in this scene. 

This segment was shorter than I expected to be honest. Nevertheless, I loved it. 

Kevin Owens vs Dolph Ziggler. Smackdown Survivor Series Team Qualifying Match. 

It's Survivor Series time which means it's red vs blue for "brand supremacy". 

Why does Survivor Series have to be about "brand supremacy"? They might as well bring back Bragging Rights. 

This "brand supremacy" stuff literally has no high stakes in them. 

Anywho, the match between Owens and Ziggler was aight. 

Kevin Owens qualified for the SmackDown's Survivor Series team with the stunner. 


In an exclusive interview with Corey Graves to Lars Sullivan, WWE somehow had to add the word "freak" because why not? 

I gotta be honest, I wasn't paying attention due to the fact that it was boring in my opinion. 

Bianca Belair vs Natalya vs Billie Kay. Winner Qualifies For The SmackDown Women's Survivor Series Team.  


Adam Pearce made this match up in a backstage segment where Bianca Belair, Natalya and Billie Kay where they were stating their reasons as to why they should be in the women's Survivor Series team. 

To the surprise of no one, Bianca Belair qualified for Survivor Series with the KOD.  

Carmella is getting a re-debut next week. I'm glad Carmella is back. 

I absolutely loved her as a bad guy so I'm hoping they bring back her heel persona. 

Murphy Tries To Apologize To The Mysterio Family. 


Murphy was out here wanting to apologize to Rey and Dominik Mysterio in front of them. 

Out came not Dominik or Rey Mysterio but rather Seth Rollins and he simply told Murphy that Rey and Dominik will never forgive Murphy. 

However, Rollins does accept Murphy and Aalyah for who they are. 

After Dominik attacked Seth Rollins from outta nowhere, Rey and Dominik decided to beat up Murphy but Aalyah stopped them from further beating the guy. 

BECCCCCAUSE, she loves him and gave Murphy a kiss. Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah. 

Aalyah's acting is laughably bad. Please end this storyline for God's sake? 

The Street Profits vs Cesaro And Shinsuke Nakamura. 

This match was fun, fun, fun. Street Profits wins with from the heavens to Nakamura. 


In a backstage promo, Sami Zayn said that he represents all continents because he is the Intercontinental champion while his Survivor Series opponent Bobby Lashley, represents one miserable country. 

Thank God he didn't bring up his history with Bobby Lashley. 

The only time I appreciate WWE's lack of continuity. 

Sasha Banks Puts The Past Behind Her. 

Until Bayley showed up to tell Banks that she can't keep a title to which she challenged Banks to a match for the blue belt and the boss accepted the challenge. 

Will see what happens in that championship match next week. Also, Sasha's outfit? GOR. GEOUS. 

Jey Uso vs Daniel Bryan. Smackdown Survivor Series Team Qualifying Match. 

Jey was aggressive throughout most of the match for obvious reasons. 

After Jey Uso defeated Daniel Bryan to qualify for the men's Survivor Series team, he decided to fall in line with Roman Reigns by beating up Daniel Bryan even more. 

If you told me that Jey Uso would turn heel a few weeks ago, I would dislike it. 

But, based on the context of the opening segment as well as the Hell In A Cell match, Jey's turn to the dark side fits the overall arc. Jey accepts his new situation and makes the best out of it. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Street Profits vs Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura, the ending. 

Didn't like: Lars Sullivan interview, Aliyah/Seth Rollins/Mysterio Family/Murphy storyline.

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!? Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats ) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.” The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself.  Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily.  Is...

WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Review.

Super showdown 2020 was dull, boring and even frustrating at times. The two previous Saudi shows from last year were surprisingly okay but this was just a flavourless taste in my mouth and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. By far, the worst PPV of 2020 so far.  PRESHOW: The Viking Raiders vs The O.C. In Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson.  A skippable match that we've seen for the gazillionth time. Yay for unwanted repetition! The O.C wins. Cool.  MAIN-SHOW: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.  R Truth and Bobby Lashley started off this match and Truth wins via a roll-up. Lashley then attacks R Truth (like we've not seen that spot before) to which out came the second opponent of the night, the returning Andrade and the way that encounter ended was odd yet somehow not horrible.  Both men hit each other with their heads and Truth pins the guy to keep fight...
