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 Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

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. Images via WWE.com 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 ...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this review contains a few minor spoilers). The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament. If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...
