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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

The 5 News Week: Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions?, WWE Made How Much From YouTube!?

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?).  I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week.  Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget.  Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
