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.

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...

The 5 News Week Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people.  For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan.  However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE.  Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back.  How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today.  It's hard to believe ...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
