WWE Smackdown 26/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

 This episode was great. I had no problems with the show after thinking about it.

Daniel Bryan Mentioned Roman Reigns Tapping Out At Fastlane. 

Bryan started off the program by mentioning the truth which was, of course, Roman Reigns tapping out of Bryan's yes lock submission. 

Daniel went on to say that in a perfect world, he would've been THE universal champion but Edge's chair shot on DB's back is what prevented that from happening. 

So, the man is waiting for an answer regarding a championship opportunity that he earned. 

I find it funny that Edge of all people is telling Daniel Bryan that Bryan's doing this the wrong way as if he's always done things the right way (by the way, I'm talking about Edge the character, not the person). 

Adam Pearce basically gave Bryan a no for an answer to which Edge came out and called Bryan a "son of a b*tch" for taking his years of hard work to get back into the ring. 

The segment ended with a spear and then a chair shot strike on DB. 

It's a battle of the sentence "I earn this, I earn that", folks! Who you got, people? 

All jokes aside, both of their motivations are a typical heel move however, it didn't turn them fully to the dark side which I appreciate. It gives the character more layers. 

Overall, I liked this segment.

Seth Rollins vs Shinsuke Nakamura. 

Aka a rematch from Fastlane and it wasn't as good but it ain't bad either. 

Rollins defeated Nakamura once again and it wasn't long after he ate a pop-up uppercut from Cesaro. 

In an interview with Kalya Braxton, Rollins challenged Cesaro to a singles match at Wrestlemania and Cesaro responded with a Cesaro swing. 

I'm hoping this is an avenue for the Swiss cyborg to actually pick up the W and elevate him into the main event player that he should've been several years back.  

Big E And The Street Profits vs Otis, Chad Gable And APOOOOLLLLO. 

This 6 man bout was pretty good. That German suplex from Gable to Angelo Dawkins was rough. 

The bad guys win with an Olympic slam to Big E. Another match confirmed for Wrestlemania is the Intercontinental champion between Big E and Apollo Crews. Wishing that match is way better than the disappointment at Fastlane. 

Sami Zayn Wants Kevin Owens To Be In His Documentary Premiere 

Zayn BEGGED Kevin Owens to be in his documentary red carpet premiere featuring the epitome of comedy on Vine, Logan Paul. 

Owens answered the offer by giving Zayn a challenge. A match between Owens and Zayn at Wrestlemania aka almost 5 years too late. 

This felt like the feud was put together on a whim but so was Kofi's push to the WWE championship picture so I ain't complaining too much here. 

If there's one thing I've learned from both guys throughout their WWE tenure is that their series of matches were great so this one is no exception (at least I hope so). 

Rey Mysterio vs Dolph Ziggler. 

A decent match. Rey Mysterio picked up the W with the 619 despite some outside shenanigans from Dominik Mysterio and Robert Roode. 

Bianca Belair vs Natalya. 

Belair slapped the hell out of Sasha Banks during the match. The EST of WWE defeated Natalya with ease but she was blindsided with a backstabber from Sasha Banks. 

Now, THIS is how you build the women's championship match! 

Adam Pearce Makes A Decision Regarding The Universal Championship At Wrestlemania. 

Throughout the night, Pearce met with Edge and later, Roman Reigns regarding their Wrestlemania match status and a decision was made in the final segment of the night. 

That decision was a triple threat match for the universal championship between Daniel Bryan, Edge and Roman Reigns. 

That isn't what Edge wanted as he talked to Roman Reigns about Daniel Bryan stealing their one on one match opportunity before that segment took place. 

As they say, "don't trust the ultimate opportunist" because he destroyed Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan with chair shot after chair shot. 

In other words, Edge absolutely SNAPPED. I wasn't fully on board with the idea of a triple threat match but after this episode, I'm now all-in on the match. 

The intensity of it was definitely needed and I'm glad they didn't go with the "respectable" route with Edge and Daniel Bryan. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: 6 man tag team match, the opening and closing segment, the Smackdown women's championship build is getting better. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

WWE RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k.  Images via WWE.com   The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre.  Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl.   Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all!  Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus.  I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion.  After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania.  Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth Grade Repo

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
