WWE Hell In A Cell 2021 | A Coherent Review.

It is an odd choice to move a PPV that is traditionally slated for October to June. 

It makes sense to me considering that one, the weather is too damn hot and two, our world's current economics relies on profit rather than need. 

Sh*t, this is damn near hell on earth, my guys. 

All random tangents aside, how was the 2021 edition of Hell In A Cell? It was a decent/enjoyable 2 and half hours of professional wrestling. 

I would be lying though if I said that y'all should go out of their way to see this show because nothing actually notable happened here. 

I've not seen the tag match at the pre-show but based on the participants, I'm going to assume that the match was okay because ain't nobody praising it.

Bianca Belair vs Bayley For The SmackDown Women's Championship In A Hell In A Cell Match. 


Like I've said in my previous reviews, Bayley's psychotic laugh is scarier than anything that WWE tried to pull off with Alexa Bliss. 

I thought the opening exhibition was quite average. It didn't do anything to re-invigorate the Hell In A Cell structure. The bout felt like a standard no DQ match inside a cage. 

Bayley may have a chair in hand for some devastating offence but Bianca got something that's even more brutal. Her hair (no sh*t, Omar). 


It would be cool if Bianca used her hair to carry a chair or a kendo stick and whip it on Bayley (sh*t, I should be a producer bruh. What a genius idea). 

The former Smackdown women's champion did some damage to Belair's arm.

And that wasn't enough to defeat Bianca as the EST of WWE walked out of the final PPV on the Thunderdome still the champ. 


Bianca Belair comments on her match. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss cut a promo saying the usual weird sh*t. 

Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 


Before the bell had rung, Cesaro was attacked by the so-called "your" resident drip expert named Sethy. 

Their matches were nothing but bangers and this was no exception. 

Seth Rollins outwrestled the Swiss cyborg with an inside cradle from Rollins to win the match. 

A weird decision to make that will definitely lead to yet another rematch (that I don't mind, by the way). 

Shayna Baszler vs Alexa Bliss. 


It's that type of match which means hide your kids, grab your wife and better get outta sight otherwise Alexa Bliss will definitely utter the phrase, "Who do you voodoo, B*TCH!" 

To say that the match was weird, is an understatement. 

The woman had Nia Jax control Jax's hand and with the help of Bliss' voodoo a** powers, Jax legit b*tch slapped Reginald which made me laugh uncontrollably like a f**king psychopath. 

The laugh stems from the fact that everything surrounding the feud and the match itself is so darn bad. Bliss wins with the twisted Bliss. 

Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn. 


Sami Zayn channelled his inner Ric Flair of some sort by selling that throw from Kevin Owens that had Zayn land on the top apron. 

The thing I love about this match is that I always find some innovative things about the match. 

For instance, the way Owens kicked out of a pin by moving his shoulder is such a brilliant booking decision. 

The bout was simply a fun encounter. Sami won here with the helluva kick and he honestly needed that W given that he's been losing a LOT as of late. 

Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair For The RAW Women's Championship. 


I wasn't a fan of how this feud was constructed. Throughout the rivalry, Flair has been taking loss after loss even though the rivalry involves the women's championship. 

Those two women have great in-ring chemistry though and it was shown here. I thought both women delivered a great old school slow-paced match but that ending gave me a bad bitter taste in my mouth. 

Rhea Ripley used the top announce table cover to end the match via a DQ. 

I get that this was a way to protect yet another L from Flair but it was just an uncreatively path to execute that milestone. 

Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley For The WWE Championship. 


The match started off way too slow but it picked up well midway through the match. 

They literally (pun intended) beat the holy hell out of each other. 

The outcome was a predictable one but the way the match had ended was so Goddamn lame. 

Really? A f**king roll up? It's like playing/enjoying the video game Cyberpunk 2077 only to get the Araska ending. It's so frustratedly awful. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley (the matches itself), Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 

Didn't: The ending of both the Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley match and the Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair match, Shayna Baszler vs Alexa Bliss.

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...

The 5 News Week: An NXT Segment Getting Some Backstage Praise!?

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.  some pictures via WWE.com Stephanie McMahon One Of The Best Heels In The Attitude Era? Jim Ross Thinks So.  Jimmy Ross recently talked about the role Stephanie McMahon and whether she was "one of the best heels we had in the attitude era" (from sescoops ):  “I always believe she was one of the best heels that we had in the Attitude Era. Because she took so much after her dad.” Stephanie played as the spoiled rich daughter of an a*h*ole boss and that is a dish of easy heel heat.  Stephanie McMahon's spoiled brat type of heel moulded well with a vicious, opportunist of a bad guy that Triple H portrayed as during the era of the McMahon/Hemsley faction.  Without her constant presence on TV, A piece of Triple H's persona especially in the year 2000, would b...

The 5 News Week: What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?, Xavier Woods Talks About The Racial Injustice In The US.

Yes, The 5 New Week made its return after a 2-week hiatus and I wanna admit something to you guys.  Last year, I was really looking forward to 2020 and how unlike 2019, I'm actually going to maintain a schedule of articles I put out every week (which you can see the entire thing by clicking on the about page).  But, I certainly didn't and it really bothers me that I have to not publish an article due to personal life or a struggle with fighting against my mortal enemy, laziness. The inconsistencies of the articles I publish will continue and that's the sad part. Anywho, on with the news.  What's Going On With Nia Jax As Of Late!?  Last week, Fightful Select and Sean Ross Sapp stated that Kairi Sane was badly injured that involved a cut on her head during a match with Nia Jax.  Now, whenever the words " x wrestler injured " and " Nia Jax " are in the same sentence then you'll know the rest of the song.  Fast forward to this pas...
