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 RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

THE Coherent AEW Take: YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!

 I was about to talk about this week's AEW line of shows, were as mid as any Flo Rida song but then…………..YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!  The Elite brand's flagship show literally made the save like the "babyface shows up to rescue their partner from a brawl" cliche.  Rampage.    Highlights.  Well, there is none as this week's show was pretty darn skippable. It was "multi-person matches with babyfaces making the save post-match".  Some Other Things That Happened.  Dan Lambert continues to be as annoying as an anti-smark on Reddit - This is the only time where I'm cheering for the white saviour, Cody Rhodes. Oh, and Sammy Guevara made the save for Rhodes against Lambert and his lackeys. The Elite guys lost to Orange Cassidy, Best Friends And Rocky Romero - That brainbuster into a double superkick from Cole and the Young Bucks was cool.  Tay Conti defeated Penelope Ford - Could've lasted a tiny bit longer but it was a decent encounter....

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
