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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
