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 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

Gail Kim As Women's Champion In 2003 Or Paige As Divas Champion In 2014? Who Had The Better Debut Reign?

Women’s wrestling in world wrestling entertainment. Believe it or not, it has been around for quite some time but it hasn’t been taken to the stratosphere by the powers that be until a few years ago. However, in one fateful time between 2002 and 2005, there was a small women’s division that although wasn’t as big as it is today, it was surprisingly competitive for the most part.  Meet Gail Kim. Before Gail joined WWE in October 2002, She started training at Ron Hutchison's wrestling school in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which had some notable alumni like Edge, Christian, Beth Phoenix, Tiger Ali Singh, Traci Brooks, Trish Stratus among others.  Gail Kim made her professional wrestling debut in late 2000 and she donned the persona of a masked luchadoras by the name of "La Felina" and wrestled all over the Southern Ontario area.  Kim started off her WWE career training in OVW and was called up to the main roster in 2003 (more specifically Monday Night RAW)...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...
