WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

 That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement.

Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness. 


The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black. 

In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer. 

Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background. 

Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion is rare). 

Rey Mysterio vs Jey Uso. 


I don't know specifically how many times those two guys have wrestled but I know it's a LOT. 

Dominik Mysterio tried to help his father win the match but it failed. As a result of the miscommunications, Jey Uso picked up the victory with a splash. 

Baron Corbin vs Kevin Owens. 


The "too many rematches that nobody cares about" criticism plays itself. 

The match ended in a DQ due to a series of punches from Big E who's mad that Corbin stole his Money In The Bank briefcase. But, the big man somehow escaped with the contract. 

I smell a match at the pre-show. 

Shotzi And Nox vs Natalya And Tamina. Championship Contender's Match. 

I hate to repeat myself but the narrative of too many rematches once again, writes itself. 

Shotzi and Nox won the match with a roll-up from Shotzi. 

Montez Ford vs Otis. 

The outfit from Ford is something else. The match was fine. Otis' splash from the middle rope is how he defeated Montez Ford. 

It's nice to see a big man actually successfully execute a top/middle rope move because that's been a cliche for God knows how long. 

King Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Apollo Crews And Commander Azzez. 

The babyfaces win here. 

NEXT! 

Bianca Belair defeated Zelina Vega and Carmella with ease before her encounter with Sasha Banks in Las Vegas. Meh. 

And the final segment of the episode was John Cena telling Roman Reigns that he'll find ways to demote his a** one, two, three. 

Oh, and Reigns announced that if he loses then he leaves WWE which screams "I'm definitely going to win this match". Besides that announcement, Nothing too noteworthy happened. 

Here's hoping that SummerSlam is actually, you know, enjoyable. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Edge Gangrel tribute. 

Didn't like: Too many darn rematches that I don’t care for.

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...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
