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"?

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
