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 Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
