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.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
