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 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 ...
