WWE Smackdown 2/9/21 | A Coherent Review

Smackdown this week was nothing too special as per usual in recent weeks.

The Street Profits vs The Usos. 


A match that should've been good but it ended so darn abruptly (via a DQ due to Jey Uso beating up Montez Ford even though Jey isn't the legal man in the match) that it gave me nothing but disappointment. 

Do you know who's also disappointed? Roman Reigns and he wanted Heyman to bring his cousins. 


Speaking of Paulie E Dangerously, the dude got a call from Brick Lacquer (with a ring tone that sounded like it came from a Nokia 2300 and not a Goddamn IPhone) and Heyman fearfully told Reigns that the "real man's man (Steve Regal reference)" is coming to MSG on next week's episode. 

The plot is getting intriguing by the minute and I'm glad that they weren't shy about that given that Reigns for a week or so, had a program with Finn Balor. 

Becky Lynch Doesn't Want To Face Bianca Belair Immediately. 


Why? Because that's what heels do (assuming that she is considering that  Becky pulled a "not facing the contender until the champion says so" cliche and wanting nuanced characters in WWE is like asking Uwe Boll to make a good movie). 

Ever since Becky has reappeared on TV, she just doesn't feel like the same rebellious esque character that we all know and love. 

Becky is slowly turning into a generic heel that couldn't capture the essence of "The Man", ya know? 


Oh and the champ will defend her title against Bianca Belair anyways at Extreme Rules so that's cool, I guess. 

Rick Boogs vs Dolph Ziggler. 

Before the match, Ziggler had a chat with Toni Storm and it felt like Dolph was trying to signalize a date with Toni. Nitpicking but why's Toni acting like " generic fangirl #1"? That's weird. 

The match itself was okay. Ricky wins with the pump handle slam. 

Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 


A decent match that ended with a disqualification due to my man Sethy using the chair hinge on Cesaro's mouth. 

Who would've thought that Cesaro is positioned right back to where he was before his "sudden push"? The answer is, everybody. 

Oh, and after that, Edge was like, "Imma beat the hell out of that honkey" (not his actual words but it sounds funny). All I can say is, I smell an Extreme Rules match! 

Dominik Mysterio vs Sami Zayn. 


WWE does a better job of making me hate being a wrestling fan each week with rematches like this. 

Based on the ending with Zayn winning the match once again, it looks like Dominik is going to turn on his father (no sh*t) and I'm hoping they approach the "father vs son" match differently because not all partnerships should end with bitterness. 


Sonya Deville was ignoring Naomi once again. Please, let Naomi join the Bloodline!? 

KO Show. Special Guest, Happy Corbin.

In this segment, you got the best heel right now and Baron Corbin. 

Corbin attacked Owens and that's how the scene unfolded. Meh. 

Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor For The Universal Championship. 


A good match although I wished it would last just a bit longer. Reigns win with the guillotine. As the champion walked out of the ring, the lights turned red which was followed by the sound of a heartbeat. 

Oh, shoot. It's demon time! 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor. 

Didn't like: Becky Lynch slowly turning into a cliche heel (hoping it changes), why Dominik vs Sami Zayn again and why Toni Storm is acting like "generic fangirl #1"?

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...
