WWE SmackDown 29/10/21 | A Coherent Review.

The blue brand has been really mediocre in recent weeks and this episode was no exception.

Charlotte Flair Was Like, "I'm Done Facing Sasha Banks. It's Time For Newcomers" 


That newcomer is Shotzi Blackheart or just Shotzi as she's now known and she got a number one contender's match against the champion herself which is another trope that I absolutely dislike especially since we just saw a number one contender's match as the main event attraction in the latest episode of RAW. 

The match between Shotzi and Charlotte, ended with Shotzi losing the golden opportunity for being in the championship picture. 

Post-match saw Shotzi's frustrations getting the best of her as she absolutely gave Banks a beating, signalling a heel turn in the process. 

Banks doing the beating instead would've fit the scenario a lot better than what I've seen here because that heel turn is as unnecessary as putting oil in boiling water for pasta making. 


"Hot old white guy" Adam Pearce, fined Brick landliner (Brock Lesnar for you slow mofos) a million dollars. This man said you're going to be fined multiple "racks on racks on racks" every day. 

Heyman's response? Well, he "accidentally or not" advocated for Lesnar. Oh my. 

Meanwhile, Xavier Woods honoured Kofi Kingston as a Knight. Cool. 

Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss In A Trick Or Street Fight Match. 

A very unnoteworthy match. Thanks to Angel Garza and Humberto Carrilo, the bad guys prevailed in this match up. At least Garza and Carrilo are getting some showcase, right? 

Naomi vs Shayna Baszler. 


Sonya Deville is messing with Naomi once again by announcing that the referee for this match is injured due to the "devastation caused by Brock Lesnar (Bork Lasker if you’re autocorrect) last week". 

So, Deville became the ref instead and of course, some shenanigans happened during the bout. 

Deville with the quick count, awarded Baszler as the winner of the match. 

I don't think this leads to that good old heel turn for Naomi since the division is a bit bloated with heel personas. 

Will see what happens next because I'm interested in this angle. 

Drew McIntyre's Open Challenge Was Answered By………. 

Mustafa Ali and he lost because that's why WWE does to underutilize talents (*cough* like Sami Zayn). After the match, Mustafa pulled a "you people" promo that I've heard a million times at this point. 

What a way to end an underwhelming episode of Smackdown with an underwhelming finish, am I right?

The New Day vs The Usos. 


Nothing to say other than it was a decent encounter. The New Day picked up the victory which means a title match is happening soon and I don't mind it. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The Naomi storyline is intriguing. 

Didn't like: Shotzi's heel turn was unnecessary, an overall sense of blandness throughout the episode.

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 ...
