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.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs. 7. Serpents by Neck Deep The reason why I like this song so much is that it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did. 6. Ace Of Spades by Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least. And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary. From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
