WWE Smackdown 25/6/21 | A Coherent Review.

 If you love rematches and storyline continuations that should've had a decisive conclusion, then this episode is for you! 

This show, to put it lightly, wasn't good. As a matter of opinion, the program was so darn awful.

Bayley And Seth Rollins vs Bianca Belair And Cesaro. 

They essentially had words to fill about "who's the winner and who's the loser" in an open segment before the match took place. 

I find it really head-scratching that Bayley called the SmackDown women's champion, "Bianca Beloser" even though Bayley lost to Belair in a "clean as glass" type of finish. 

I will say this, Seth Rollins laughing in the background every time Bayley said something about Belair is pure gold. Probably it's best to keep Rollins as a heel just for that laugh alone. 

The match ended with a pinfall victory from Bayley to the SmackDown's women's champion and you know what that means? REMATCH! 

I do not hate rematches as long as each match is better than the last and their Hell In A Cell match was kinda mid. 

So, why would I look forward to that encounter once more? 

Shinsuke Nakamura Got A King Coloration. 

This entire segment, I feel like,  is unironically the saddest yet funniest thing I've ever seen all week. 

Baron was crying his a** off like he just watched the film "Life Is Beautiful" with Roberto Benigni. 

This should've someway somehow led to a King Of The Ring tournament but it is what it is. 

Apollo Crews vs Big E. Money In The Bank Qualifying Match. 

A match that was way better than their IC title match at Wrestlemania a few months back. 

The "let's portray Apollo Crews as a weak champion" did not pay off as Big E pulled off the victory with the big ending. 

Is it really that difficult to actually book a match with Apollo Crews that involves a victory without outside interference? 

The writing for Apollo Crews since his IC title victory has been nothing but basura, my Gs. 

Carmella vs Liv Morgan. 

Carmella was given the Money In The Bank ladder match spot even though other competitors have to compete to qualify for that match (and also recently lost a match with Liv Morgan). 

Now, let me ask you something, people. Does this actually make a lick of sense? 

Morgan picked up the victory against Carmella once again. Again, I ask you lovely yet complicated human beings. 

Does the direction for this entire segment and match, make a lick of sense to you? 

Jimmy Uso defeated Dolph Ziggler. Cool. Speaking of Uso sort of, Edge returned and gave an absolute BEATING to Roman Reigns (as well as Jimmy Uso). 

Out of all the revisiting of feuds, the Edge and Roman Reigns is the one that I'm slightly intrigued by because we haven't seen the eventual one on one match between those two guys. 

However, I would be lying if I said that I'm all on board with this rivalry, ya know? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: I guess Baron Corbin crying over a crown? 

Didn't like: The booking for Apollo Crews, the Bayley and Bianca Belair aspect of the opening segment, the entire Carmella and Liv Morgan stuff.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
