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 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

AEW Full Gear 2020 | A Coherent Review.

While Full Gear was a big improvement compared to All Out, the pacing in their PPVs still needs a LOT of work.  I was yawning way too much in the 2nd hour even though I had a 9-hour sleep yesterday.   With a card like this, it doesn't need to be 4 hours.  Oh, and that Serena Deeb and Allysin Kay match on the pre-show was decent.  Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals.  Hangman Page doesn't have time to play "sportsmanship" as he's nailing Omega with some brutal elbow strikes throughout the first 10 or so minutes.  Speaking of brutal, Page delivered a devastating powerbomb on the stage ramp to Omega and then a sitout powerbomb in the ring to a near fall.  Unfortunately for Hangman, he was taken out with the one-winged angel from Kenny to win the entire tournament.  An enjoyable opener although it could've been just a tiny bit better but I'm nitpicking.  The elite brand will have an an...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism Vol.2

Last spring, I wrote an article about how to critique pro wrestling better aka "a guide on how to improve wrestling criticism" . I got some positive takes on it but the question is, why did I produce the second edition?  Well, you have to thank the awful videos and articles that I, unfortunately, consumed but at least, I wrote down some notes that contained the number of bad critiques that I was passionately blasted down on.  Like I mentioned in last year's piece, I am just an average fan that doesn't claim to be an expert in any form of criticism because YouTube will definitely give you the "I'm right, you're wrong" type of content.  This is just a learning process for not only the viewers reading this but myself as we all are trying to get better.  Without further explanation, let's guide you  to a better critique in wrestling (at least I hope so) numbra dos.  #1.
