WWE Smackdown 17/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

The blue brand executed an okay 2-hour program.

I ain't gonna ask you why and then slap my head multiple times because this isn't that type of review.

Paul Heyman Had Some Comments Regarding The Demon.

Those comments were about how Finne Baylor is afraid of Roman Reigns because he had to tap into his inner demons in order to face the Tribal chief.

Big E's music hits and after seeing the new WWE champion making his way to the squared circle, the word "intrigued" came to mind.

Oh, and the Irishman himself also showed up for reasons I do not mind because I too want that demon coming if you know what I mean.

All lame jokes aside, I thought the segment wasn't too special in its structure and format but it did spark a bit of a question on whether this is the end of the second brand split era.

The answer is I highly doubt it. The 6 man tag team match between the Bloodline and The New Day was a path to increase the overall ratings by just a little bit but that's just me (don't forget a Draft coming soon).

All of this was followed by a tag team match between The Usos, Big E and Finn Balor. And the WWE champion and the number one contender for the universal championship won that match.

Normally, I would be mad about the tag team champions losing like that but in this case, you have a number one contender (that WWE has to make him look as good as possible) and a wrestler that just won the prestigious big belt.

So, the decision was hard from the creative overlords' end and I can't blame them here.

You know what's also hard? Every time I se……………. (GAMER WORD, STOP IT!).

Sticking to the universal championship scene, Paul Heyman to Roman Reigns was like, "I swear to God, bro. I didn't know that Brock returned at SummerSlam or when he's going to show up next."

By the way, Paul Heyman's backstage interview with Kalya Braxton had me DYING!

Heyman channelled his inner Jamie Lee Curtis due to how f'ing scared this man is.

Liv Morgan and Toni Storm vs Carmella And Zelina Vega.

The match ended in a count-out because Liv Morgan broke Carmella's nose and Morgan doesn't care about that because she challenged Carmella to a match at Extreme Rules.

Cool, I guess.

Happy Corbin didn't show his happy side as he delivered a series of attacks on Kevin Owens.

So, what did I learn from this? Well, is that being insanely wealthy will turn you into an a**hole. In other words, nothing happened.

Rick Boogs vs Robert Roode.

The match was whatever. It ended with another W from Rick Boogs to which they took a beating from Commander Azzez and Apollo Crews because your Nigerian royalty wants a rematch for the IC belt.

Do I want to see yet another rematch between those two guys? Nope. Why? Because they're meaningless.

Seth Rollins Was Like, "I Blame YOU For Making Me Going Extreme On Edge"

I was watching this entire segment like, "Kylo Ren, is that YOU!?"

This promo screams a third in their two-match feud at Extreme Rules and I do not mind it considering the encounter match last week was really good.

Finn Balor unveils the demon in a promo. Nice.

Meanwhile, Naomi wanted Sonya Deville to pay attention and give the former 2-time Smackdown women's champion a freaking match.

That was probably the best dialogue execution I've seen throughout this episode. She just cut that promo with f**king finesse. Not gonna lie, that was a star-making performance.

Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn.

A match so predictable, my autocorrect filled in the "Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn" headline above.

Sami wins yet again. Coolio.

Bianca Belair's Homecoming Celebration.

Belair was celebrating her accomplishments in Knoxville, TN until Becky Lynch showed up in a black person's business.

Belair then tricked Becky Lynch's handshake into a KOD but Lynch countered that with a man handle slam.

Who says WWE doesn't make their hometown performer look good, am I right?

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Naomi's backstage promo, Paul Heyman's paranoia.

Didn't like: The second and last part of the Homecoming segment, Dominik Mysterio and Sami Zayn AGAIN, Why a rematch between Apollo Crews and Shinsuke Nakamura?

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...

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...

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...
