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 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
