WWE Smackdown 15/10/21 | A Coherent Review

Smackdown was probably the only time in current WWE TV that I didn't feel the time slot.

Keep in mind, I live outside of the US and I was watching this IN THE FREAKING MORNING.

Oh, and the show was a solid program.

Backstage, Sethy Enjoyed Edge's Promo Until……….

Edge mentioned his wife and I thought the promo was going in the "wide eyes open" direction but instead, he basically said that he'll end the saga of himself and Seth inside Hell In A Cell.

It was a decent promo but isn't noteworthy.

Rollins' entire dialogue later in the night? Well, that's a different story. Seth is just so good at playing a goofy pick, it's pure comedy at this point.

I mean, if his "101 dalmatians" look doesn't convince you of his comical ways, I don't know what is.

Finn Balor vs Sami Zayn. King Of The Ring Tournament Semi-Finals.

Other than the Xavier Woods and Ricochet encounter, this tournament has been nothing but a quick snooze fest, honestly.

I love both guys but damn, this match was not for me. Finn advanced in the finals with the coup de grace.

Naomi vs Sonya Deville And Shayna Baszler.

Sonya played as a POS so well here and it did a great job of building some empathy and compassion towards Naomi and her current struggles within the WWE Kayfabe universe as seen by her unfortunate loss to Naomi.

Yes, the match length is too damn short (a common pattern in the women's division, unfortunately) but in this instance, the circumstances made sense here.

Carmella vs Zelina Vega. Queen's Crown Tournament Semi-Finals.

Speaking of a "quick snooze fest" tournament. Zelina Vega is now in the finals. Cool.

Happy Corbin Wasn't Happy After Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs Interrupted His 'Happy Talk'.

Happy Corbin's fit looks like a pastey Floridian. Now, was my comment funny? Maybe but my lame jokes should tell you that I didn't care about this entire segment.

The Street Profits vs The Usos For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship In A Street Fight.

Finally, some good f**king wrestling. The Usos retained the tag team championship with a double frog splash to Angelo Dawkins.

To be frank with you guys, I wouldn't hate a rematch later down the line but this is probably the end of their series of televised matches.

Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch.

I love Sasha Banks but what was that wrestling fit? It is as confusing as her Covid takes.

Nevertheless, the match was really good which isn't surprising considering how well they know each other. Their chemistry translated pretty well inside the squared circle.

Belair's intentional assist led to a victory from Sasha Banks.

Brocky Brock And His Saucest Supreme, Made Roman Mad Again.

The entire contract segment was Heyman sh*tting his pants in fear while Brock was like, "I read the contract thanks to my advocate, Paul Heyman".

I don't know who's sillier, this Brock Lesnar or the Lesnar that danced with a mariachi band 17 years ago.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Silly Brick lasersword, Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch, Street Profits vs The Usos, "101 dalmatians' ' Seth Rollins.

Didn't like: The King Of The Ring and Queens Crown Tournament.

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 Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people. For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan. However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE. Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back. How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today. It's hard to believe ...

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 ...
